The White Rabbits and Aries fled in all directions as soon as they were released. This was their instinctive reaction. They wanted to hide in a safe place. However, there was an earthen wall around the Sky Troop's practice field. It was a very thick earthen wall, about six feet in height and thickness. The White Rabbits and Aries would never be able to escape this area.
This area was not small either. It was more than 300 acres in size. It was a large piece of land that could not be cultivated.
Using such a large piece of land as a practice field could better train the Sky Troop's strength and make them stronger.
The practice of throwing bombs at fixed targets was over. Next was the practice of attacking moving targets. Moving targets were more difficult to hit than fixed targets. In addition to the inertia caused by the speed of the aircraft, the speed of the moving targets also had to be taken into consideration.
These sly moving targets did not necessarily move in a straight line at a constant speed. It was very likely that they would suddenly change their direction. As a result, it was difficult to throw bombs. Fortunately, the explosion range of the bombs was relatively large. This made up for the difficulty of hitting the targets to a certain extent. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to hit the targets with bows and arrows.
The White Rabbits and Aries were running at high speed. They were completely disorganized and had no formation to speak of. This caused a certain degree of interference in the practice of throwing bombs. As a result, more bombs were needed to kill all the prey.
In order to better attack these prey, the ten aircraft of the Sky Troop adopted the strategy of flying at low altitudes. Originally, they were in groups of five, but now they were in groups of two. This was to prevent accidents from happening at low altitudes if the formation was too complicated.
Boom, boom, boom …
As bombs were thrown one after another, the White Rabbits and Aries suffered heavy casualties. The practice field was filled with dead bodies. The Aries' miserable cries were endless.
Although this was a little cruel, it was very necessary to train the Sky Troop's combat strength. Excessive kindness was not desirable, especially in the society of the Tang dynasty. If a normal person cherished the lives of small animals, they would be regarded as weak. A princess who lived like a princess could do this. However, for an army, in order to train strong combat strength, killing some animals was not a problem at all. No one in the field of animal protection would cause trouble.
After a wave of ten aircraft flew over, at least half of the White Rabbits and Aries were killed. Some were injured and struggled on the ground, trying to escape.
"Good, this is much more exciting than before. Moving targets are more interesting."
Li Longji laughed happily.
"What's so good about it! This is too cruel. "
Yang Yuhuan frowned, looking a little sad. Women naturally didn't like to see bloody scenes, especially delicate women.
"My beloved concubine, are you tired? Why don't you go and rest? We still have to finish watching Tian Jun's performance."
Li Longji advised gently.
"Yes, I'm a little tired. I'll take my leave."
She had come to enjoy herself but returned in disappointment. Little women should not have come to this kind of heavenly performance.
"Your Majesty, the first round of attacks killed half of the enemies. The second round of attacks will definitely wipe out the remaining half. After five or six rounds, we should be able to wipe out almost all of them."
Ang Lee explained in a low voice.
Li Longji nodded in agreement. "We can see that regardless of whether the Tian Jun is facing a large group of enemies or a small group of enemies, they will be able to decimate the enemy. This is especially true when it comes to chasing down the remnants of the enemy. It is truly necessary to establish the Tian Jun. It will be the divine guardian of the nation!"
"The soldiers of the Tian Jun are all Tian Jun, so the generals of the Tian Jun are naturally Tian Generals. With the help of the Tian Jun, Your Majesty is invincible!"
Yang Zhao came over and began to bootlick. This was his specialty, and there was probably no one who could compare to him in terms of bootlickery.
"Yang Zhao, sit next to us."
Li Longji was so happy that he had Yang Zhao sit next to him, where Yang Yuhuan had been sitting. From this, one could see how much he favored Yang Zhao.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yang Zhao did not stand on ceremony and sat down.
The Tian Jun's performance was getting more and more exciting. After several rounds of attacks, only two Aries and three Rabbits were still running around. The rest were clearly all dead.
"Your Majesty, there are only five left. One more round of attacks will definitely wipe them out."
Yang Zhao happily said.
"Is that so? Assistant Minister Li also thinks so? "
Li Longji asked Ang Lee with a smile.
Ang Lee thought for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, the longer they live, the more elite they are. The remaining two Aries and three Rabbits are all elites! They are scattered in five different locations, making it impossible for the Tian Jun soldiers to wipe them out in one go. This round of attacks might not be able to wipe them out. "
"Mm, We can also see that these beasts are getting smarter and smarter. They seem to have understood the Tian Jun army's attack pattern. At first, they were crowded together, but now they are running around in different directions. This will greatly interfere with the Tian Jun soldiers' ability to wipe them out. It's hard to say if we can wipe them out in one go!"
Li Longji observed for a long time and concluded that the enemies in groups were easy to deal with. The Tian Jun army's first round of attacks could deal great damage to them, but the scattered enemies were difficult to deal with. It would take a lot of bombs, and the results would not be very good.
The first two planes of this round slowly approached the training ground. They were searching for prey that had not yet died. They would then swoop down at low altitude, like an eagle catching a chick.
After the Tian Jun bombardier ignited a bomb, he threw it at the rapidly running Aries.
The Aries seemed to be able to see the bomb. Before the bomb hit the ground, it suddenly changed its direction and made a 120-degree turn, successfully escaping the fate of being hunted down. The bomb only created a large crater when it hit the ground.
"Amazing, truly amazing! This little Aries is a god! It actually used such a move. "
"Who said beasts are brainless? This little Aries is very smart! It knows how to dodge attacks. "
"So what if it's smart? It can dodge for a while, but it can't hide forever. The planes below are coming. Let's see if it can dodge this time."
"I'm guessing we'll definitely be able to dodge it. These two little white lambs have become spirits."
"I bet this little Aries can't dodge."
The ministers and envoys watched the show and began to talk. Everyone expressed their opinions. They were even willing to bet on the little life of a beast.
Li Longji's eyes were also shining. The scene just now was too exciting. A bomb appeared in front of the little white sheep's head, and it was about to be blown up. Unexpectedly, the little white sheep was able to change its direction at the critical moment, successfully avoiding the hunt and saving its little life.
It was said that a one-sided game was not exciting. This truth was universal in any era. If the Tian Jun army killed all the prey too easily, it would be very good to show the strength of the Tian Jun army, but more or less, it would make the onlookers feel that it was not very interesting. It was like watching a scarecrow target. It was seriously not exciting enough.
On the other hand, if a small number of prey could escape the hunt, it would make the game more interesting and exciting. It would then arouse the emotions of the onlookers.
After the fourth group of planes in this round passed, there were only five prey left. One Aries and one White Rabbit were lost. Only one Aries and two panicked White Rabbits were left.
"There are only two planes left. It's impossible to kill all the prey in this round. Yang Zhao, you've lost."
Li Longji said with a smile.
The remaining three prey were in three different locations. There were only two planes left in this round. Therefore, it was impossible to kill all three prey. The goal of killing them in one round was completely impossible.
"Your Majesty is right. This subject has lost. However, this subject really didn't expect these prey to be so cunning. They actually learned how to dodge attacks."
Yang Zhao admitted that he had lost, but he was still a little dissatisfied. He felt that he had underestimated the Aries. It was a little too embarrassing.
"Haha! Another White Rabbit is dead. Now there's only one Aries and one White Rabbit left. "
Li Longji couldn't help but shout like a child.
Ang Lee looked at Yang Zhao and asked with a smile, "Yang Zhao, there are only two left. Will they be wiped out in the next round?"
"This …"
Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile, "That's not certain. These little bastards are too cunning. They might really be able to dodge."
Clearly, Yang Zhao was afraid of losing again and didn't dare to bet.
Li Longji looked at the scene of the explosion and said, "Assistant Minister Li, We noticed that when we were bombing the scarecrows and sheep, the bombs that fell were all relatively large. However, the bombs that fell now are all small black dots. The power of the bombs seems to have decreased a lot. Of course, it's harder to kill these prey."
"Your Majesty is wise. You've noticed such a small detail. That's right. The bombs used earlier were all of average size. The bombs used at the end were all of extremely small power. They were only the size of an egg. Naturally, their power would be weaker."
Ang Lee replied with a smile.
"Yes, yes, that does seem to be the case. Why didn't I notice it?"
Yang Zhao thought for a moment and felt that he was at a disadvantage for not noticing this detail. With the power of the bombs reduced, the success rate of the hunt would be greatly reduced. A deviation of three to five steps would cause the kill to be ineffective. If it were a more powerful bomb, it would be able to kill the prey with a deviation of more than ten steps.
"Rabbit, what is the rabbit doing?"
Li Longji said as he picked up the binoculars beside him and looked at the strange White Rabbit in the distance.
"Digging a hole. This White Rabbit is actually digging a hole. It's trying to escape!"
Li Longji smiled. The boundary was an earthen wall with a thickness and height of six feet. It was extremely sturdy. However, this was nothing to the rabbit. The rabbit was born to be an expert at digging holes. How could a mere earthen wall stop it from digging a hole?
"It's in! It's really hiding in there!"
Yang Zhao picked up the binoculars beside him and cried out in excitement when he saw the White Rabbit quickly dig a hole and hide in it.
The officials on the lower two levels were even more excited. They scrambled for the binoculars, all wanting to see how the White Rabbit hid in the hole.
Li Longji put down the binoculars and said with a smile, "There's only one Aries left. We'll definitely be able to finish it off in the next round."
"Your Majesty, are we not going to count the White Rabbit that hid in the hole?"
Ang Lee asked with a smile.
"Running away at the last minute? What's the point of counting it? Haha!"
Li Longji laughed.
"Ten planes against one Aries should be no problem. This lowly subject also believes that we can finish it off."
Yang Zhao hurriedly flattered.
Ang Lee did not express his opinion. He quietly looked at the drill ground and waited for the Sky Army soldiers to praise him.
Soon, a new wave of planes arrived, preparing to deal a fatal blow to the Aries.
"Running around the wall? This Aries has gotten smarter again."
In the face of the new wave of attacks, the Aries, which had always performed well, adopted a new strategy this time. It ran around the base of the wall.
This caused a certain amount of trouble for the attack. Because the planes were not agile enough, they could not see the running Aries at the beginning of the attack. By the time they found the target, they had already missed the opportunity to attack. They could only choose to give up and let the next group take over.
Relying on this strategy, this smart Aries managed to avoid the hunting of ten planes, which made everyone exclaim in admiration.
However, everyone only praised the Aries' prowess. No one complained about the Sky Army's incompetence. This was because the Aries' performance was simply too impressive. The failure of the Sky Army's bombardment seemed to be a matter of course.
There was a famous movie saying that it was not that the Imperial Army did not fight bravely, but that the Eight Roads were too cunning. This saying could not be more appropriate to describe the Aries' dodging.
"It dodged just like that. It's too amazing. A hero among sheep!"
Yang Zhao could not help but praise.
Li Longji smiled and looked at Ang Lee. He asked, "Assistant Minister Li, are there any more powerful bombs on the planes?"
"Your Majesty, every plane carries a hundred-jin extra-large bomb. Why don't we keep it?"
Ang Lee replied truthfully.
"You can use it now. Kill the last Aries."
Li Longji ordered.
Ang Lee nodded and looked at the guards behind him. He ordered loudly, "Send the signal for the Sky Army to use the Heavy Bombs."
Soon, a signal flare rose into the air, giving the order to use the Heavy Bombs.
After receiving the order, the ten planes immediately rushed over. With the previous experience, this time, the bombardiers of the Sky Army were even more experienced. Moreover, they were allowed to use heavy bombs, so the success rate of killing the prey would undoubtedly be greatly increased.
The first two planes successfully locked onto the running Aries and found the best opportunity to drop two huge bombs.
Looking at the two huge bombs falling from the sky, everyone was shocked. Such a big guy, after landing, would definitely cause a lot of damage. At least this poor little white sheep would not be able to escape.
"Dead? Playing dead? "
No one expected the Aries, which had been running quickly just a moment ago, to suddenly stop running and fall to the ground, motionless.
"Boom …"
After the two loud explosions, the entire viewing platform felt like it was shaking. It was obvious that the two heavy bombs had caused a lot of damage.
"The wall, the wall has been blown down by a large section."
