Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

As for the other concubines in the harem, since their number here is limited, they are not taken into consideration.

Peaceful Dazhai.

Although the craftsmen here were making the first few manned balloons in the style of Kongming lanterns.

Because I have no experience, it is very slow to make.

However, after those craftsmen made two, three, or three or four, the craftsmen who gradually became familiar with the production method made the aircraft five or six times faster than at the beginning. .

Now those craftsmen have produced as many as ten Kongming Lantern-style hot air balloons that meet Zhao Ji's requirements.

Zhao Ji watched as the craftsmen made hot-air balloons faster and faster, and their techniques became more and more proficient.

I couldn't help but feel more confident and hopeful about sending troops to sneak into Tokyo.

When Zhao Ji and Zhu Wu discussed this plan to transport troops to Tokyo.

Zhu Wu accordingly gave some suggestions that were quite reasonable and highly timely.

For example:

Although it is indeed feasible to lift these hot air balloons into the sky at midnight and use the wind to slowly fly into Tokyo.

But in order to prevent the soldiers who were still in the hot air balloon from being unable to fight back when they were discovered by the defenders in the city.

Zhu Wu also suggested that a small crossbow and small shield be specially customized for the soldiers riding in the hot air balloon.

Used to prevent this from happening.

Of course, it would be even safer if we could prepare some more rockets.

Just use this kind of hot air balloon to carry soldiers slowly to the sky above the enemy, and then suddenly shoot down rockets from top to bottom.

Then even if the enemy wants to hide and run, it will be very difficult.

However, due to this very primitive method, the load capacity of the Kongming Lantern-style hot air balloon that can carry people is also quite low.

Moreover, two people must be placed on each manned sky lantern.

One is responsible for changing the direction of the rudder so that the manned sky lantern can fly to a specific area.

The other one is also used to look around and fight back when the enemy discovers it.

Therefore, on a manned sky lantern, placed behind two soldiers, it is impossible to carry too many other defensive and offensive weapons.

This also makes it possible for these manned sky lanterns to use the wind to slowly float into the Tokyo city car, and their attack methods are not too many.

However, Zhao Ji is already quite satisfied with this.

Because in his opinion, this method really belongs to a surprise attack.

And it was only at midnight that he quietly sneaked into Tokyo City.

The probability of success after implementing such a method will inevitably be very high.

As for placing various offensive weapons on the manned sky lantern, it seems less important.

According to Zhao Ji's expectation, at least twenty of these sky lanterns must be made first.

Those who rode the manned Kongming lantern and entered the city of Tokyo at [-]:[-] midnight were not only responsible for opening the city gates, but also leading the troops from outside the city to quickly invade the city.

Moreover, they also need to deal with the nearby Forbidden Army soldiers.

In this way, it is still a heavy task.

What if too few soldiers are sent into the city?

Maybe by then, before these soldiers could open the city gate, they would have been discovered by the enemy patrolling in the city, and they would take the opportunity to eliminate them.

But now, Zhao Ji only has a few Kongming lanterns in his hands that can carry people.

There is still a long way to go before the target of twenty.

This can't help but make Zhao Ji quite helpless.

Of course, Zhao Ji did not forget to pay more attention to the developments in Shuibo Liangshan.

After all, before that, there had also been told by Zhong Sijin that they would try their best to lead their own people to invade the city of Tokyo and help quell the rebellion there.

Zhao Ji still believed in this.

After all, for the class of Chao Gai, Song Jiang, and Wu Yong, if they and others can use this opportunity to make greater efforts and achieve greater results.

Then in the future, he will definitely rely on this advantage to get a bigger official title from Zhao Ji.

Therefore, Zhao Ji also firmly believes that as long as Song Jiang and Wu Yong are not fools, they will definitely try their best in this battle.

So here, he actually hopes that Song Jiang can come up with an effective way to enter the city as soon as possible.

And when Zhao Ji sent Zhu Wu to the temporary camp in Shuibo Liangshan to inquire about siege strategies.

The news fed back by Zhu Wu really surprised and delighted Zhao Ji.

Now, the excavation team led by Shi Qian is quite good in terms of the speed of the process and the results achieved.

According to the predictions of Toki Sen and others, it would take a few days at most before they could dig under the foundation of the Tokyo city wall.

At that time, as soon as midnight passes, an extremely capable team will be sent from Liangshan. They will follow the secret passage and invade Tokyo City in one fell swoop. They will surely succeed.

Zhao Ji was extremely happy when he heard the news.

At the same time, I was also very grateful to Shuibo Liangshan for being able to recruit Shi Qian for this incident.

Although Zhao Ji is here, he is also extremely satisfied with the method of building a plank road to cross Chencang secretly in Liangshan.

But for the sake of being more secure, Zhao Ji still conveyed some ideas for joint operations to Shuibo Liangshan through Zhu Wu's mouth.

That is, when the city's defenses in Tokyo were officially attacked.

Led by Shuibo Liangshan Shiqian and others, they quietly sneaked into Tokyo city underground.

And what about on the road?

Whether it is Ping'an Dazhai or Shuibo Liangshan's temporary station, a capable force must be assembled.

They were lying in ambush in the two mountain forests several miles away from Tokyo City in order to achieve the plan of cooperation there at any time.

What about placing it in the air?

While the underground troops were marching, the manned Kongming Lantern team that Zhao Ji had worked so hard to cultivate here had to rise into the air at the same time, slowly drifting into the sky above the city with the wind, and supporting each other.

In this way, the four teams support each other and cooperate with each other. Only when they attack Tokyo City can they greatly increase their probability of success.

When Zhao Ji conveyed his intention of marching and fighting through Zhu Wu's mouth to the temporary stronghold in Liangshan.

Chao Gai, Song Jiang and others could not help but nod their heads after hearing this.

Even Wu Yong, a wise man who has always been good at calculations, was not only full of praise for such an advance plan.

……

Originally, Cai Jing led his imperial guards to break into the palace this time with the following thoughts in mind:

One is to take advantage of Zhao Ji's absence and use his own power to climb to the highest position in one fell swoop.
