Chapter 518 It turns out that humans can also fly to the sky! (Thanks to kaci, the author, for your short monthly ticket~)

He saw his lord rise hundreds of meters into the sky and then land safely.

No matter whether they were educated civil officials or uneducated military officers and soldiers, they all showed expressions of admiration!

For these ancient people, flying has always been something that only the legendary gods, dragons and phoenixes can do.

And now their lord has actually achieved this with his own strength!
Although it is not as fancy and legendary as imagined, it still has a strong impact on everyone’s inherent ideas!

It turns out that humans can also fly to the sky!

Or maybe their lord is the legendary god who has descended to earth?
Everyone was so surprised that some superstitious people suddenly knelt down and kowtowed.

When the surrounding soldiers saw this, they followed suit!
Even knowledgeable civil servants and military officers became weak in the face of this atmosphere.

They knelt on the ground with sincere submission, shouting “Duke Chu”, “Immortal God” and so on!
Even the county official Gu Yong directly shouted:
“My lord, you have the power of a god, and you are the ruler of the south. Why don’t you be promoted to king to strengthen the military’s prestige?”

Lu Bu, who had just jumped out of the bamboo basket, looked at this scene and heard Gu Yong’s words, and was immediately filled with emotion.

Let alone these ancient people.

Even though he was one thousand eight hundred years later, he had never been a Fei Kun in his previous life and had never truly flown into the sky.

It’s not that I don’t have the money to take the ride, but firstly, I’ve never been to a faraway place on purpose, and secondly, I have an inexplicable awe for the sky.

Thirdly, I was also worried about what might happen to the flight I was on…

I never thought that flying, which had never been experienced in the previous life, was actually realized in the Han Dynasty 1,800 years ago!
Even for a modern man like him, it was still shocking.

For the people of the Han Dynasty who had never seen an airplane or a person flying in the sky.

This impact is undoubtedly more severe!

As for Gu Yong asking him to take the opportunity to become king, Lu Bu felt that although the timing was good, it was not yet ripe.

After winning this battle and completely defeating the imperial army, he can indeed make a further step forward.

Lu Bu asked everyone to stand up, and said with a smile:
“Everyone, please stand up. Although I am a mortal, I have indeed received the grace of the gods.

“Whether it’s the gunpowder jar or this flying object called a ‘hot air balloon’, they are all gifts from the gods.

“But the gods also told me to use these divine objects to benefit the people of the world!

“Now you have seen the power of the gunpowder jar.

“Now you can also control this hot air balloon!”

Hearing this, everyone present was excited and surprised.

They never thought that their lord had actually received guidance from the gods!

No wonder they could create such a terrifying weapon as the gunpowder jar!

The most important thing is that in addition to the gunpowder pot, they now have the opportunity to control the so-called “hot air balloon”.

In other words, they can also fly into the sky like their lord? !
Thinking of this, even Zhang Zhao, who had been quite fearful just now, became eager to try.

Seeing the excitement in everyone’s eyes, Lu Bu asked with a smile:

“Who is willing to accompany me to the sky again?”

Many brave soldiers volunteered to step forward.

Among the military commanders, Lieutenant General Wen Pin was the first to come forward:

“I am willing to accompany you to heaven again!”

Lu Bu nodded slightly.

Wen Pin was bold and careful. He first taught the other person how to fly a hot air balloon, and then the other person taught more people.

It won’t be long before a balloon soldier can take shape!

At that time, they would be equipped with gunpowder cans to directly bomb the Hangu Pass city gate, or important facilities such as granaries inside the pass, from a height of hundreds of meters.

Can inflict devastating damage to the enemy!

Lu Bu checked the hot air balloon and replaced the combustion rack.

After making sure there was no problem, he took Wen Pin on a hot air balloon and flew into the sky again!

Even though Wen Pin had followed Lu Bu in his campaigns long ago, he was knowledgeable and experienced.

When flying into the sky, I still felt an unprecedented thrill!
All the muscles in my body tensed unconsciously…

However, when the hot air balloon stabilized at an altitude of several hundred meters, Wen Pin looked down and saw the entire Danshui City in full view!

This feeling of looking down at the earth gave him a sense of grandeur:

“Is this the feeling of a god looking down on the earth?” “Just like when we look down at the ants at our feet, if we don’t deliberately restrain ourselves, how can we care about the life and death of the ants?”

Lu Bu felt the same way, but still said:

“It’s a pity that we are not immortal gods after all.

“Even if you are in a high place for a short time, you still need to be cautious and trembling with fear.

“Otherwise, if you make the slightest mistake, you will fall to the ground and be smashed to pieces!”

Wen Pin was not frightened by this, but felt that his master’s words had a deeper meaning…

Under the command and guidance of Lu Bu, Wen Pin controlled the hot air balloon to land smoothly.

Wen Ping’s heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

But despite his joy, he felt unsatisfied.

He immediately said he wanted to fly again.

In this way, Lu Bu took Wen Pin on several more trips.

It was not until Wen Pin mastered the control of the hot air balloon that he was no longer as excited as he was at the beginning.

Only then did he let Wen Pin take the other soldiers into the air and teach more people how to operate a hot air balloon.

In order to prevent accidents, Lu Bu asked all people practicing hot air ballooning to limit the altitude to forty meters.

This way, even if an accident occurs, it is much safer than falling from a height of hundreds of meters.

Before I knew it, half a month had passed.

Not only did Lu Bu completely control Danshui City, he also managed to train an army of 600 people and 300 balloon soldiers.

During this period, there were also cases where hot air balloons rose to high altitudes and suddenly malfunctioned and fell.

Fortunately, with the help of a parachute, the hot air balloon finally landed on the ground.

Although the soldiers on board were injured.

But because the height was not too high, the impact force was not too great, so it was not a big deal.

After all, hot air balloons themselves are relatively safe.

Unless the sphere is severely damaged or hits something.

Otherwise, when it falls, gas will be blown into the ball, slowing down its falling speed to a certain extent.

In addition, with the assistance of a parachute, the chance of an accident is not high as long as the operation is proper.

In addition, Lu Bu also reorganized his troops and horses.

He had previously led an army of 30,000 to attack the city, but because Zhang Liao climbed the city walls first, the overall losses were not too great.

In addition, he captured three to four thousand soldiers and horses inside and outside the city. After half a month of training, they were ready for his use.

Except for the hundreds of wounded soldiers taken away by Chen Lin, Lu Bu still had more than 32,000 people available.

He left 4,000 soldiers to guard the city and led the remaining 28,000 people straight to Hangu Pass!

the other side.

After waiting for nearly half a month, Chen Lin finally received the news that Lu Bu was sending troops.

In the past half month, he helped Lu Bu’s wounded soldiers to sneak into various units.

So that I can help Lu Bu later…

Soon, Lu Bu led his army to Hangu Pass.

Looking at the wall that is tens of meters high and the endless high peaks around it.

He secretly thanked God for preparing the hot air balloon in advance.

Otherwise, even if there were gunpowder bottles, it would be difficult to break into the city gates.

Not to mention that the wall of this pass is several times higher than the city wall.

Even an extended ladder is difficult to climb up.

Moreover, because the climbing time is longer, it is easier to be shot down by the enemy during the climbing process.

When Yu Jin at the city gate saw that the enemy army was no more than 20,000 to 30,000, he sneered:
“We have 20,000 defenders in Hangu Pass. Even if the enemy has more than 100,000 troops, it will be difficult to break through this pass.

“With only 30,000 troops, it’s even more impossible!”
