Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1302

However, they didn't act immediately; otherwise, given the power of rifles, they might have actually posed a threat to the helicopter.

With so many soldiers below, it wouldn't be a big deal if a bullet hit the fuselage, but it would be troublesome if it hit the glass.

Fortunately, these soldiers were disciplined, although they were quite frightened by the sudden appearance of the steel monster, the helicopter.

However, no one fired their guns until they received orders from their superiors; they simply aimed and prepared to fire.

Soon, Zhu Di, who had been alerted, came out of his tent and also saw the helicopter flying in the sky.

Unlike the fear and confusion of the others, he immediately guessed who owned the helicopter the moment he saw it.

Throughout the entire Ming Dynasty, no, it should be said that throughout the entire world, apart from Cao Cao, no one else could produce such a divine artifact.

So once he had the answer in his mind, Zhu Di immediately ordered all soldiers to put away their guns, line up, and wait quietly.

When the helicopter landed, Wei Wu led Zhang Hai out of the cabin, and Zhu Di immediately smiled.

He then ignored the guards' attempts to stop him, ran quickly to Wei Wu, and gave him a big hug.

"Hahaha, I knew it! Only you could come up with something this amazing! By the way, what is it?"

After the two parted, Zhu Di spoke to him as if he were talking to an old friend, without the slightest hint of awkwardness.

Wei Wu also quite liked this way of communicating, so he laughed along after Zhu Di finished speaking.

"This thing is called a helicopter. As you can see, it can carry people in the air and fly about seven or eight hundred miles in an hour!"

Although he had already seen it with his own eyes and had long guessed that what Wei Wu had made was definitely not simple, Zhu Di was still shocked.

To be able to travel seven or eight hundred miles in an hour—what a terrifying ability! If used on the battlefield, wouldn't one be invincible!

Just as Zhu Di was filled with shock, a possibility suddenly occurred to him: Wei Wu had suddenly arrived in the northern desert, could it be...?

With this possibility in mind, Zhu Di immediately looked at Wei Wu and asked him.

"Xiao Wu, did your father accompany you to the grasslands this time?"

"Ok!"

Wei Wu nodded, and then directly told Zhu Yuanzhang his plan.

"Uncle Zhu wants to take this opportunity to completely eliminate the hidden dangers on the grassland, so he sent me here to help Fourth Brother."

Upon hearing Wei Wu's reply, Zhu Di's smile widened.

"Sure enough, I knew you wouldn't leave your little sister behind and come all the way to the grasslands to find me."

As Zhu Di exchanged pleasantries with Wei Wu with a smile, his gaze returned to the helicopter that had just come to a stop.

"Xiao Wu, could you let me experience the feeling of flying in this helicopter?"

Hearing Zhu Di's words, Wei Wu was not surprised at all, after all, no human being can refuse to soar in the sky.

Zhu Yuanzhang was like that back then, and even Empress Ma, who was usually quite calm, couldn't avoid it.

It's quite normal for Zhu Di to have this idea now, and Wei Wu was very generous in agreeing to it.

"Okay, Fourth Brother, you can go up there directly. Shen Lin will drive it and give you a feel for it."

With Wei Wu's approval, Zhu Di didn't hesitate and immediately ran to the cabin door and climbed inside.

Wei Wu didn't go. He was tired of riding in helicopters. Anyway, with Shen Lin there, he would take good care of Zhu Di.

Soon, the helicopter's propellers started spinning again, and Shen Lin seemed to be in high spirits, performing various flight maneuvers one after another.

After taking Zhu Di on a wild ride in the sky, they landed, and then Zhu Di, still feeling unsatisfied, came to Wei Wu's side.

"Xiao Wu, this thing of yours is truly amazing. With it, we can keep track of the movements of the Northern Yuan army."

As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, Wei Wu shook his head and said with a smile:

"Fourth Brother, you only know one side of the story! This thing can not only conduct reconnaissance from the air, but also inflict massive damage on the enemy!"

As he spoke, Wei Wu pointed to the spot where the helicopter was parked and continued to ask:

"You saw those metal barrels in the cabin just now, didn't you?"

"Yes, I see it. That metal bucket is quite strange. I was just wondering what was inside it."

"Oil!"

As soon as Zhu Di finished asking the question, Wei Wu immediately gave the answer, which surprised Zhu Di.

"Oil? You've loaded so much oil into the helicopter, are you planning to use it for a fire attack?"

"That's right, fly the helicopters over the enemy's heads, and then I don't need to explain the purpose of these oils!"

After hearing Wei Wu's description, Zhu Di had only one feeling: cruelty.

Imagine two armies facing off, and suddenly a large amount of oil is poured down on the enemy soldiers' heads.

Once ignited, the soldiers will not die immediately; instead, their struggles will disrupt the entire army's formation.

If a full-scale attack were launched at this time, the enemy could be defeated with almost no effort.

Of course, this was Zhu Di's calculation based on the normal methods of warfare in the past. In reality, the warfare model of the Ming Dynasty had changed.

The combination of rifles and mortars means that there is no need to engage the enemy in close combat; the enemy can be annihilated from a distance.

Just like this time when Zhu Di led his troops to pursue them beyond the Great Wall, he did not intend to fight the Northern Yuan army head-on, but simply kept them at bay.

When the time is right, he will implement his plan and completely crush the fleeing Northern Yuan army.

Therefore, after Wei Wu finished explaining the uses of oil, Zhu Di immediately spoke up:

"Xiao Wu, kerosene can indeed influence the situation on the battlefield, but this time, I hope you can refrain from using this method."

“My scouts have located the Northern Yuan army. Tonight, I want to try out the idea we discussed before.”

As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, Wei Wu knew he was referring to the idea of ​​using mortars to launch a night attack on the Northern Yuan camp.

Actually, it wouldn't have been a problem to let Zhu Di try, since the Northern Yuan was destined to be destroyed anyway. However, Cao Cao also had his own considerations.

If they launch a night attack, he hopes to minimize enemy casualties, which will save them a lot of time later.

So after Zhu Di finished speaking, Wei Wu also put forward his own ideas.

"Fourth Brother, actually using kerosene doesn't conflict with your plan. No, it should be said that it can achieve better results."

"Think about it, what if I were to first spray oil on the Northern Yuan camp from the air, and then you launch an artillery barrage?"

"The flames from the exploding shells will immediately ignite the oil, and then the entire Northern Yuan army camp will be turned into a sea of ​​fire!"
