"Why don't we throw away some of our food and water and fill up some fire oil?"

The other person thought for a while and said something.

"There must be enough supplies. This is the general's intention. How can it be changed?"

The calculator was merciless and directly rejected the other party.

"The weather today is fine and the northwest wind is blowing. It's a good time to take off. Immediately notify me to go down and get ready to take off!"

After finishing speaking, the calculator directly tied the materials on the hanging basket.

Seeing this, everyone could only leave angrily, while the rest of the people were gathering quickly.

After a while, the people assembled immediately.

Qi Shizhong also came to the front. Compared with other people, Qi Shizhong was actually more anxious. At this moment, he didn't talk nonsense, and just waved his hand, "All go to the hanging basket, aiming at Beifan Country!"

"Yes!"

Everyone shouted in unison and boarded the hanging basket one after another, and He Qi also staggered into the hanging basket.

The hot air balloons filled the sky one after another, and after determining the direction, they began to fly towards the sky.

On the gondola, everyone could see the rest of the hot air balloons. At the beginning, some soldiers who came up for the first time looked around curiously. Seeing the ground getting smaller and smaller, it was even more fun.

As the hot air balloon goes higher and higher, the wind gets stronger.

If the hot air balloons want to communicate, they can only communicate with gestures. No one dares to get too close, which is very dangerous.

On the ground, you could see hundreds of hot air balloons take off, which is particularly spectacular, but after half an hour, these hot air balloons also disappeared.

"Fortunately, we are the only ones who have such a thing. Otherwise, it would be a headache to think of something flying over our heads one day that could throw kerosene at us."

Qi Shizhong breathed a sigh of relief after watching all the hot air balloons take off.

The staff officer at the side nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, especially if you don't know when this thing will arrive and you can't watch it all the time, it's even more frightening. And if such a thing flies over the palace, wouldn't it be even more dangerous?"

Qi Shizhong was startled when he thought of this, but then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Gentiles don't have anything like this, so why worry?

The hot air balloon flew quite fast along the wind.

On the way, the hot air balloon began to separate.

According to the previous goal, their side is going directly to the imperial capital of Beifan, and the rest of them have their own goals.

According to the amount of kerosene they calculated, it should be enough.

And the number of people going to the imperial capital is the largest.

This is because the imperial capital of Beifan Kingdom is the largest, so more fire oil is needed to achieve the goal of burning down the imperial capital.

At night, the hot air balloon looks even colder. Fortunately, there are quilts to help resist the cold.

At this time, there are still people watching with binoculars to avoid missing the burning target.

On the second day, although according to the distance, it was not yet the time to reach the imperial capital, but everyone who did not see the target was still worried that they might have missed it.

On the third day, when they saw a small city below, with Liu Zhongcheng written on it, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Zhongcheng is still some distance away from you in the imperial capital. After checking the map to make sure it was correct, everyone continued to fly forward.

On the fourth day, when the sun was gradually setting, the watchman took a sip of water, and after seeing a huge city slowly appearing in front of him, he was shocked immediately, and hurriedly took a closer look.

I saw the resplendent and resplendent imperial palace inside the city, and I was certain in my heart that I knew this was the goal.

Thinking of this, the lookout immediately notified the others, then picked up the red flag on the side, and started waving it at the others.

This means that according to the semaphore negotiated before, the target has been found and the attack is ready.

The lookouts of the rest of the hot air balloons immediately noticed the semaphore, and then waved the flag to indicate that they had received the message and were ready to attack.

When the sun slowly set, the hot air balloon finally flew over the capital of Beifan Kingdom.

Looking down from here, you can see that the lower part is quite bright. After all, it is the imperial capital of a country, and it is quite bustling and lively.

"let's start!"

The leader took a look, then lifted the kerosene on the side, put it directly next to the hanging basket, and lifted the lid.

The rest of the people nodded one after another, and the kerosene poured down like a stream of water.

But at this moment, the people below didn't know at all. Occasionally, when someone raised their head, they would see dozens of bright spots in the night sky, like stars, and they didn't think much about it.

There is a constant flow of people on the street.

"What does it taste like?"

Suddenly, a passerby stopped in his tracks, his eyes were a bit strange, and the next moment, he felt that something had dripped onto his body.

I stretched out my hand to wipe the clothes, only to feel that it was a little sticky, but when I looked at it under the light, it seemed a little golden.

The next moment, he suddenly saw a flame light up in the distance, "Did it run out of water?"

This word popped up in his mind, it was just fine, why did it suddenly go out of the water?

But before he could think about something, the fire was like a thread, burning towards him directly.

The flame burned extremely fast, but it burned to the front in a short while, at this moment he suddenly understood what it was just now.

"Fire oil, where did this fire oil come from!"

Passers-by exclaimed, this line came over, clearly someone poured kerosene all the way here!

It's just that the kerosene clearly seemed to be poured from the sky. What's going on?

The passers-by were horrified, but the scene that happened later left him no time to think about it.

I saw that in the rest of the places, fires began to appear one after another, and once they appeared, they immediately burned towards the front in a line.

"Fall down first around the perimeter, forming a circle."

On the hot air balloon, a person spoke. According to the previous discussion, we should first surround the circle and talk.

For those who are unlucky, if you can't get around the circle, just pour it in the middle, it's okay.

"Hey, the fire has already started to burn."

The lookout took a look and found that there was already a little fire below, "It seems that kerosene should have been poured into a candle or something."

They are on top, and they will not ignite at the beginning, this is to avoid igniting the fire oil.

If one is not careful and ignites the kerosene, the hot air balloon will burn quickly and turn into a fireball.

So when traveling, someone has already emphasized in every possible way, pour out the kerosene, and prepare to light the fire if there is no fire below.

Chapter 774 Come to Destroy the Country

"That's fine, we don't need to light the fire, just watch them burn."

After hearing this, a few people on the side turned their heads to take a look, and saw a little bit of fire below, which was slowly getting bigger.

I was quite happy in my heart, and while pouring the kerosene, I watched the fire below begin to grow bigger.

But in a short time, the flames below had become several times stronger.

On the Beifan Kingdom, all the buildings are made of wood, and a little kerosene can already make these buildings burn blazingly.

But at this moment, in Beifan's imperial capital, the common people were shouting all over the place.

"It's flooded, come and put out the fire!"

The wooden bucket was filled with water, and it was thrown towards the burning house quickly.

But this kerosene is not so easy to extinguish. Before this little water can extinguish some fires, the fire has already spread to other places.

"what happened?"

Inside the palace, the emperor of Beifan Kingdom ran out in a hurry, and immediately saw the raging fire in the imperial capital.

Seeing this scene, his face became extremely ugly.

"Someone set fire? Who is it? Did someone set fire in the imperial capital without anyone noticing?"

The emperor of Beifan Kingdom was furious when he saw this scene. All of a sudden, there were so many fires burning in so many places, and he didn't need to guess. Someone definitely set the fire on purpose.

Otherwise, where would the common people want to burn their houses down?

Even if there were, it wouldn't be possible to burn down your own house in so many places at the same time, right?

"Could it be someone from the Xinghan Empire who sent someone over to set the fire?"

The inner guard at the side heard the words and immediately said something.

"Impossible. As early as after the soldiers from the expedition came back, I have strictly ordered the soldiers to look after them. Han people are not allowed to enter the city. Recently, no Han people have entered the city at all. How could they be from the Xinghan Empire?"

Hearing this, the emperor of Beifan felt impossible in an instant.

When the inner guard heard this, he stopped talking immediately. In fact, after thinking about it, he felt that it was really impossible.

It's just that this fire is a little too weird.

"what happened?"

Suddenly, a group of people saw the flames in the distance, and instantly became fierce, like a fire dragon, jumping directly into the distance, but in a short while, the fire dragon formed a circle, covering the entire imperial capital. surrounded by it.

Seeing such a scene, everyone was dumbfounded.

This fire still has its own ideas, wanting to burn this imperial capital?

"What the hell is going on! What's going on!"

The emperor of Beifan Kingdom was furious when he saw this scene. He couldn't guess what was going on.

He was fine just now, but suddenly he watched the flames form a circle, encircling his entire imperial capital.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the imperial capital will be destroyed in one day.

"Hurry up and ask the soldiers to put out the fire. If the fire continues like this, the imperial capital will be destroyed!"

The emperor of Beifan Kingdom was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and roared again and again.

"Find someone to ask, what's going on, why it's like this!"

The emperor of Beifan Kingdom immediately sent someone to inquire.

But after a while, a dusty soldier was called to the front and reported to the emperor.

"It seems that kerosene floated down from the sky and poured it everywhere, so the fire spread so fast that it couldn't be extinguished."

The soldier's words made the emperor of Beifan Kingdom stand on the spot in a daze.

"How is it possible, how could there be fire oil falling from the sky?"

He froze, a little unbelievable about this.

The soldier remained silent. Although he didn't quite believe it, he had indeed seen it with his own eyes.

He had felt the kerosene before, and there was even a tongue of fire that burned up to the sky along the kerosene, but then it stopped.

On this point, it can be fully proved that kerosene is falling from the sky.

At this moment, the siege of the imperial capital has been completed directly, and with the addition of the people on the hot air balloon, they began to divide again intentionally or unintentionally.

But in a short while, the imperial capital was directly divided into several parts.

As a result, the fire burned even more fiercely, and it was even more difficult to put out the fire.

The emperor of Beifan Kingdom in the distance was also staring at this scene in a daze at the moment. If it was really kerosene, there was basically no way out.

Fire oil, it is not something that can be extinguished by water, it is very difficult to extinguish.

In addition, there are wooden houses and the like here, which are easy to burn.

In the entire imperial capital, the noise at this moment resounded through the sky, and the flames began to gradually rise into the sky.

"Come on, lower the balloon a little, I want to have a word with them."

He Qi said something to the person who controlled the hot air balloon.

The hot air balloon began to descend slowly. At this time, the fire wave was not particularly high, and it could still come down a little bit. After the fire was completely intensified, the hot air balloon would not be able to come down.

"People of Beifan Kingdom, listen up, we are the Suzaku Army of the Xinghan Empire! Sending troops into our Xinghan Empire and killing the people on our borders is a heinous crime, so we come here to destroy Beifan by the order of the Holy One!"
