“Take these gunpowder jars with you too.”
Outside Yunzhou city, General Qi Guangyi and his cavalry and musket troops were lined up, ready to march.
The arrival of Lin Wentao and the others was perfectly timed—if they had come any later, Qi’s troops would’ve already left.
Governor Zhan Xingchang also planned to accompany the mission to Jizhou. Because hot air balloons couldn’t fly long distances, they had to launch from nearby to be useful. Qi’s forces would both fight and protect the balloons as they advanced.
Right now, Fencheng was under siege. They had lost all contact with Niu Ben. No orders could be given. No coordination could be made.
Before leaving, Prince Qi handed a few gunpowder bombs to Liang Yubin. Though the balloon team’s main job was recon and delivering messages, dropping an occasional explosive into the barbarian camp might just create chaos.
Once everything was ready, Xiao Ming gave Liang Yubin and He Cheng a firm pat on the shoulder.
He was putting a heavy responsibility on their backs.
But both men were brave enough to fly the balloon and didn’t seem afraid.
After all, from the sky, nobody could touch them.
