Chapter 706 Shen Changgong and Yan Fuyao make a bet
"You came just in time."
Shen Changgong put his arm around her waist, pointed ahead and said,
"Your Majesty, look! The Pingnan Army and the Zhengnan Army are on the east side, the Tianyu Army and the Feiying Army are the most powerful in the middle, and the Shenfeng Army is on the right. We have surrounded the enemy completely, and they can hardly fly away even if they have wings."
"Aren't they going to build a bridge? What are you going to do about it?"
"Look to the sky."
Hearing this, Yan Fuyao took a telescope and looked up at the sky, only to see more than a dozen hot air balloons taking off and floating towards the enemy camp.
"Use hot air balloons to drop bombs? That's a good idea. We can directly blow up their bridges.
Now, they have no choice but to surrender."
Yan Fuyao kept looking at the battlefield, observing the situation.
At this time, the hot air balloon in the sky had flown over the Qian-Chu coalition forces and arrived above the Han River.
They observed that the enemy was directly building three pontoon bridges, arranging them at the same time and extending them to the south, intending to build three pontoon bridges between the north bank and Taohua Island.
The army building the bridge arrived as early as when the Yan army attacked Yecheng. They spent the whole day cutting down trees yesterday and then laid the bridge overnight, racing against time and not daring to stop.
But even so, they only paved one-third of the distance.
Because the floating bridge needs to be built by tying the logs together one by one, even though they have a lot of people, they still need to tie the logs one by one no matter how fast they are. It is impossible to build it faster with more people, so they have to build three at the same time, which takes the same amount of time as building one.
When the dozen or so hot air balloons in the sky saw this scene, they gestured to each other to assign the order.
They automatically assigned targets. The first hot air balloon took the lead and flew over with the wind. After calculating the flight speed, altitude, wind direction and fuse length, the hot air balloon pilot lit the fire starter and threw the divine thunder directly down.
As expected, the divine thunder exploded when it landed on the water, splashing water all over the people who were building the bridge.
Bridge builder: ???
This is also very normal. After all, the above calculations are all based on experience and visual observation, without any detailed data support. It is normal if it fails to hit the target. If it explodes, it is a miracle, which all depends on luck and fate.
After it flew over, it threw a divine thunder at the second bridge, and then the second hot air balloon also flew over and continued to blow up the first bridge.
However, more than a dozen hot air balloons were launched more than thirty times to blow up the three bridges, but all failed.
Gong Yangge and Xiang Qu, with cloth wrapped on their heads, stood on the newly built platform, nervously looking at the hot air balloons in the sky, hoping that no divine thunder would be thrown onto the bridge and blow it up.
This is a matter of probability, but as long as you throw enough, there will always be one time when one will hit it.
After more than a dozen hot air balloons exploded in one round, they gradually summed up their experience, so they controlled the hot air balloons to fly back and then exploded for the second round.
The first four in the second round all failed. However, the fifth hot air balloon dropped a divine thunder that hit the middle part of the bridge exactly.
With a loud bang, the bridge was blown in half.
The Yan army scouts on the hot air balloon cheered and celebrated happily.
The part left on the shore was floating alone, and the part that was blown off was directly washed away by the river.
The people who were building the bridge were disheartened when they saw the bridge and the people being washed away.
They worked on it for a whole day and night, and it was just gone like that?
But fortunately, they still had two bridges that had not been bombed.
Just as they were comforting themselves, a divine thunder fell on the second bridge and exploded.
Once there is one, there will be a second one. This time it was the eighth hot air balloon that blew up the second bridge.
And perhaps because it flew too far to the north, the bridge was blown directly along the shore, and the waves it created washed almost the entire bridge into the water.
The Qian-Chu coalition forces on the shore could only watch the bridge being washed away.
Then, the hot air balloon in the sky flew another round, specifically aiming to blow up the third bridge.
After their unremitting efforts, they finally blew up the third bridge.
This time, the Qian-Chu coalition was completely desperate.
Even the retreat route was blocked.
After blowing up the bridge, the hot air balloon scout captain left a few people behind to continue monitoring the enemy, and then he went to report the situation to his own army.
Through the flag information transmitted from the hot air balloon, the Yan army also learned that they had blown up three pontoon bridges and immediately reported it to Shen Changgong.
Shen Changgong chuckled and said,
"Now, all the enemy's bridges have been blown up. They really have to fight to the death. Now, it depends on whether they fight to the death or surrender."
"So do you think the probability of fighting to the death is greater, or the probability of surrendering is greater?"
Yan Fuyao asked.
"Well, that depends on what the coach thinks."
Shen Changgong said,
“If the commander-in-chief is a die-hard, then his will can influence the entire army. If he does not surrender, most people will not surrender, except for those who are divided and surrounded.
If the coach wasn't such a die-hard and was willing to surrender, this battle would have been much easier."
"Well, do you want me to make a bet with you?"
"What are you gambling?"
"Let's bet... between Xiang Qu and Gong Yang Ge, who will surrender to us?"
"There are four answers to this question. There are only two of us, so how can we bet?
In these four situations, either both of them died in battle, or both of them surrendered, or Xiang Qu died in battle and Gongyang Ge surrendered, or vice versa.
Yan Fu shook his head and said,
"Except for the situation where both surrender or both die, you and I will choose based on the personalities of these two people.
I think Gongyang Ge will surrender, but Xiang Qu will fight to the death."
Hearing this, Shen Changgong frowned and said,
"How is this possible? Gong Yangge is an old noble from the Qian Kingdom, very proud, and much more capable than Xiang Qu. How could he possibly surrender?
On the contrary, Xiang Qu is jealous and easily influenced. He is clearly defending his country, but he still wants to harm his comrades. It is not surprising that such a person surrendered, right? "
"Okay, now the bet is established. You think Gong Yang Ge will die and Xiang Qu will surrender.
I think Xiang Qu will die and Gong Yang Ge will surrender."
"Okay, let's bet."
"Well, we'll wait and see."
Yan Fuyao's red lips curled up slightly, a playful smile on her face.
"Well, you haven't told me what the bet is."
Shen Changgong asked.
Yan Fuyao said proudly,
"If I win, you will let me lead the troops in battle myself."
"What the hell do you want? You're the only one fighting a war? You're not only going to kill yourself but also the entire army."
"Shen Changgong, you look down on me like that, don't you? Aren't you confident you can win? You don't even dare to take this bet?"
"Okay, okay, okay. I promise you, I'll just let you lead the troops in person for once, but I have the final say on how and where to fight."
