Bad people in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 275
The Zhanlu Sword is the best sword Ou Yezi has ever forged. It can even be said to be the pinnacle of what a mortal can forge. Even the Qingxiao Sword they spent a lot of effort to forge is not as good as it.

In particular, the Zhanlu Sword itself has a strong spirituality and is a divine sword that can recognize its master independently. People who are not recognized will not only have difficulty mastering this sword, but will also be resisted by it.

"Pick it!"

After struggling for half a month, Tian Hao gave up after seeing that he still couldn't get a glimpse of the essence of Zhanlu Sword.

Since you don’t eat the toast, then eat the penalty bar!

"Pity!"

Bei Mingzi felt regretful, and immediately raised his hand to form a seal to perform Taoist magic, and used the Qingxiao Sword and the realm blessing of the Taoist Immortal Realm to forcefully extract the power from the Zhanlu Sword.

The reason why a famous sword is a famous sword lies in its extraordinary power and spirituality. Some are carried by the material itself, such as the vitality of heaven and earth in Qiuli, and some are added during casting, such as the power of this Zhanlu sword.

Since it is power, it can naturally be extracted. At most, the difficulty is different.

Although Zhanlu Sword is the top famous sword, it is still too weak compared to strong men like Bei Mingzi, especially when no one is controlling it.

The sword screamed in waves, and the spirituality and power within it were forcibly extracted, turning into a black energy ball. Tian Hao wrapped it in the spirit of Longyou and put it into the spiritual space, and asked the teacher Wuming to study it.

Wuming can be considered a half-Confucian person, so he should be able to resonate with him better.

Tian Hao was right about this. When his spiritual consciousness entered the spiritual space, he saw Wuming looking at a sword, a black translucent long sword with the shape of Zhan Lu.

It is the sword shape formed by the fusion of Zhanlu essence and spirituality. It can be said to be the sword spirit.

At this moment, the sword spirit was resonating with Wuming, and it was obvious that he was very fond of Wuming.

If he hadn't been bound by Longyou's energy, he might have flown into Wuming's hands on his own.

Nodding to Wuming, Tian Hao took the Zhanlu Sword Spirit to the top of the tower and used his golden fingers to eliminate its hostile spirituality, leaving only the pure essence of the sword spirit.

This sword is very special, and the heavenly eye formed seems to be related to the existence in the dark, which is a hidden danger for a person like him who defies heaven.

Not to mention that this thing is hostile to him, so he naturally needs to clean it up.

After cleaning it with the help of golden fingers and confirming that there were no hidden dangers, Tian Hao left the tower and handed the Zhanlu Sword Spirit to Wuming.

"Zhanlu?"

After taking the black illusory long sword, Wuming asked and realized that the sword might be the legendary Zhanlu.

"Well, the disciple wants to understand the essence and mystery inside."

Nodding, Tian Hao could only ask this teacher to gain enlightenment now, even at the cost of destroying the Zhanlu Sword.

Not only the sword spirit itself, but also the sword body of Zhanlu Sword will be taken away by Master Xu to reforge it into a new famous sword.

"The secrets inside this sword are difficult to describe. You need to learn Confucian doctrines to master it."

After thinking about it for a while, Wuming suggested something.

Zhanlu Sword is a sword of benevolence, which is consistent with some Confucian doctrines and concepts. If you want to understand all the mysteries within it, you must master that part of the benevolence concepts.

Even as far as he knew, the establishment of the Confucian concept of benevolence seemed to be related to this Zhanlu.

Therefore, if you want to master and understand Zhanlu, you must go to Confucianism.

"Confucian disciples will look for opportunities to go there and ask their teachers to help them understand the mystery of Zhanlu's Heavenly Eye."

Nodding, Tian Hao did have plans to go to Confucianism.

It just so happened that Xunzi was severely injured by his master Bei Mingzi last time. According to his master, his state of mind was shattered. Even with Xunzi's ability, it would take at least ten years to reunite his state of mind.

This is the flaw of the fusion of man and sword. Although the fusion of man and sword can bring the power of the famous sword to the extreme, even beyond the limit, it often merges perfectly with the famous sword it holds. It is said that the sword can cut off people. Death is not an exaggeration.

When Xunzi and Zhanlu merged, the celestial eye that evolved was the essence of both. It had extraordinary power and had surpassed the level of heaven and man.

Unfortunately, before it could exert its power, it was broken by the torrent of sword energy that Bei Mingzi had accumulated for a long time. Zhanlu Sword suffered heavy damage, and Xunzi was also seriously injured, and his mood was broken.

It is not easy to recover from such an injury, especially if the Zhan Lu Sword is lost.

This period of time was also the weakest on the Confucian side, and it happened to be a time when people secretly studied Confucianism.

You must know that Confucianism is a prominent learning for the world, and it only recruits the children of powerful people. It also has a close relationship with the Zhou royal family, and the collection of books in it is no worse than that of Taoism.

In particular, two sages, Confucius and Mencius, emerged in Confucianism, and the theories and concepts they left behind are precious wealth.

But the most urgent task now is to understand a little bit of the mystery of this kind of celestial eye, and perfect the mind-reading and inner-demon guidance.

"let me try!"

Wuming could only say to give it a try, but he wasn't very sure about it.

He resonated with the sword spirit when it was still spiritual, but now that spirituality has been wiped out, leaving only a little foundation. If you want to understand the secrets, you have to do it yourself, and I'm afraid it won't be easy.

Tian Hao did not force this, and after exchanging some research on ghosts with Wuming, he quit and studied to copy the imprinted abilities from the two sisters Hu Ya and Hu Mei.

This ability itself will not grow because he has no foundation in this area.

But with Hu Ya and Hu Mei here, they can improve their abilities in the future, or awaken new abilities, and then just copy them.

While this arcane technique shouldn't be used too much, the ability is worth the risk.

With the cultivation and understanding of the sound transmission of nature, Tian Hao has been able to study this ability quite smoothly.

At the same time, the Six Nations were not idle. After receiving the news, they immediately ordered the army that had been prepared to set off.

They had already received the news that there would be a battle between Lu Buwei and Ying Zichu. No matter who won, Qin would be in chaos for a while.

Although Lu Buwei was a minister, he was extremely capable and had many back-up men hidden in the Qin Dynasty. Coupled with the assistance of Luo Sheng, his death would lead to a series of hidden dangers.

The same goes for Ying Zichu. The period of changing the throne is the weakest time for any country.

Now that Ying Zichu is dead and Ying Zheng has ascended the throne, it is the best time for them to take action.

Therefore, we are prepared in advance and can attack as soon as the order arrives.

The armies of the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and South Korea gathered towards the junction of the Yellow River and the Wei River, intending to invade Xianyang directly from there.

The armies of Yan and Qi took boats upstream of the Yellow River and also came here.

Moreover, the fleet was spread out and very close to the shore. Even if the Qin State sent a black dragon to sneak attack from the water, they could quickly detect and respond and avoid the shore.

They even carried a big killing weapon prepared by the Mo family. Once the black dragon appeared, they would find an opportunity to kill it to avoid future troubles.

In the past, the main reason why the Great Qin Black Dragon suffered a loss was that all their weapons were aimed at humans, making it difficult to fight against such behemoths. However, after several years of research, they have developed targeted weapons that are powerful enough to kill them.

As for the Chu army, they did not gather at the junction of the Yellow River and the Wei River. Instead, they went west alone and continued to fight with Qin's Bashu side.

The terrain on the Bashu side is special. As long as they capture it, they can hold it and quickly turn it into the territory of the Chu Kingdom.

Not to mention that Yingqi had fought in the western part of Chu State in the past two years, almost occupying the entire west, and nearly one-fifth of Chu State's territory.

And it is still in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, which poses a great threat to Chu State and must be captured.

The other five countries all expressed their understanding of this, and they could also use this to induce Qin to divide its troops.

But even so, Qin State also gathered 80 troops and mobilized all the border troops from the Western Great Wall.

It can be said that the whole country's troops were used.

This is also thanks to the doubling of grain output in Bashu in the past two years, which gave Qin enough grain, otherwise it would be difficult to supply such a large army.

But even this cannot continue to be supplied, especially as the autumn harvest is approaching. If the war cannot be ended before the autumn harvest, some of the food may rot in the ground.

You must know that in order to keep secrets, those agricultural institutions have not yet become popular and have only expanded in Bashu.

And the confidentiality work was done very well. The entire Bashu was sealed off and implemented military control, and there were many black sparrows patrolling the air.

The Six Nations also wanted a quick victory, because their food and grass could not last long, and they also did not want to miss the autumn harvest.

The armies of both sides quickly converged, and 200 million troops faced each other across the Yellow River.

"Can't wait any longer!"

The army had been reorganizing for several days, and Wei Wuji, the Lord of Xinling, reminded Lian Po, the commander of the coalition.

Due to the location of the decisive battle this time, most of the food and grass for the coalition forces were provided by their Wei State. With their Wei State's reserves, there would be no problem within a month, but once it exceeds a month, there will be a big hidden danger.

Moreover, they received news from Lord Changping that the Great Qin Black Dragon had arrived from Longxi along the Wei River and would enter the Yellow River tomorrow at the latest.Even though they had made a lot of preparations, it was still not easy to cross the river under the trouble of the Great Qin Black Dragon.

"It's going to be a brutal fight."

Lian Po's face was solemn. He had not thought about the way to cross the river in the past few days because it was unrealistic.

The Qin State is not a fool. It is impossible for them to just watch them cross the river. They will definitely make targeted arrangements this time.

The only way to break the situation is to force the crossing and confront the Qin army. This will inevitably cause heavy casualties and is unavoidable.

"Then let's use the Mo family's and Gong Loser's machine beasts first."

Ju Wu suggested that the battle for rescue would indeed be dangerous, but they fully supported the Mo family. In the past two years, they had built a lot of white tigers, and even the Mo family had transformed and brought in the blue dragon, a mechanism that had never appeared before.

In addition, the public losers hidden in Chu State also provided a lot of machine beasts, which came in handy.

"The Qin State also has machine beasts, and they are more sophisticated than ours. It is difficult to gain an advantage by sending machine beasts."

Lian Po shook his head. Although he did not participate in the original Battle of Longxi, he learned the detailed information of that battle from Zhao Jie afterwards and knew that the Qin State could forge a kind of mechanism bear, which was not as powerful as the Mohist mechanism. The difference between the white tiger and the public loser is even better.

If they really want to send out mechanism beasts, Qin will definitely send out mechanism beasts to deal with it. In this way, the two sides will confront each other on the pontoon bridge they prepared, which will not be enough to break the situation quickly.

"Then use Qinglong to catch Qin off guard."

As the representative of the Mohist family, Cuiyu is decisive and has absolute confidence in his heart.

With the full support of the Yan and Zhao countries, especially the Zhao State, they further transformed Qinglong and greatly increased its combat power. This was also their trump card against the Black Dragon of Qin.

"The black dragon itself is just a beast and is not one with the Qin State. Our main target is the Qin State."

Ji Wuye said with one eye open, and in his heart he had some thoughts about the Great Qin Black Dragon.

The Ji family is no stranger to dragons. If given a chance, they might be able to conquer them.

Seeing that everyone agreed to attack immediately, Lian Po thought about it and made sure there were no tactical omissions, then nodded in agreement.

“The essence of the art of war is to use the weak to defeat the strong when it is weak, and to use the strong to bully the weak when it is strong. The focus is on guarding against the opponent’s tactics.

Now that our forces are superior, this battle should indeed be fought quickly. "

This battle itself does not require any tactics. Their first target is Qin's Xianyang, and then the Qin army.

The capture of Xianyang, the Qin State, will cause a major blow to the morale of the Qin army, and it will be much easier to fight.

At the same time, in order to protect Xianyang, the Qin army will inevitably defend passively to block their advance, so that they can take the initiative, which is very important in war.

Just like the last time the Qin army attacked Handan alone, he had to respond passively and lost the opportunity, which led to Handan being defeated.

As the order was issued, millions of allied troops gathered together, connected the ships they brought with iron chains, and covered them with wooden planks, creating a stable land on the Yellow River.

Of course, they did not forget to soak the wooden boards to prevent the Qin army's fire attack.

"They still haven't come out of the trenches."

After the pontoon bridge was built, Lian Po couldn't guess the Qin army's specific tactics when he looked at the Qin army on the opposite side who still hadn't rushed out of the trench.

Is it possible that we really want to copy the tactics of the Baiyue War to delay them and wear them down in terms of food and grass?

"Has a message been sent?"

Turning to look at Wu Kuang, the representative of the farm family, Lian Po needed information from Xianyang to determine the movements of the Qin army.

"It was only reported in the morning that all the Qin troops are in those trenches.

The [-] Qin troops from Longxi also set out, targeting the wolf clan on the north bank of the Yellow River. "

Wu Kuang replied, his eyes full of hatred and murderous intent.

He has not forgotten the death of his master, his brother, and Xia Kui, so he led some farm disciples to participate in this battle.

He wanted to personally behead Huang Tianhou and take revenge.

After thinking about it again, he looked at Cuttlefish. After he nodded, Lian Po no longer hesitated and gave the order decisively.

"The vanguard army, attack and seize the river beach!
The White Armor Army followed closely behind, sealing the pontoon bridge with ice and further strengthening the pontoon bridge. The Mechanism Beast Army advanced in the rear, waiting for the Qin Army's Mechanism Beast to dispatch to respond. "

As the vanguard, [-] Zhao troops and [-] new Wei soldiers stepped forward and rushed towards the opposite side on the unstable pontoon bridge.

They ran very loosely at first, just to prevent the Great Qin Black Dragon from suddenly appearing and destroying the pontoon bridge.

As expected, the Great Qin Black Dragon did appear. It used the same tactics as it did against the Wei soldiers, swimming quickly and using the huge blade on its back to quickly cut and slice the pontoon bridge.

But seeing the appearance of the Great Qin Black Dragon, Lian Po and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Then a behemoth that was even bigger than the Great Qin Black Dragon was seen rushing out from the bottom of the water, biting the Black Dragon and dragging it aside.

It was also a dragon, a giant bronze dragon, much larger than the black dragon.

"Hiss..."

Dahei only had time to neigh before he was dragged away. The huge dragon body twisted and caused the river to surge violently.

Unfortunately, the difference in size made it difficult for Dahei to break free, but with the protection of the armor, he would not be hurt by the opponent.

As Dahei was dragged away, the coalition vanguard army breathed a sigh of relief, and then confidently and boldly gathered to charge and seize the river beach.

The [-] white-armored troops following closely behind froze the river and the pontoon bridge, further strengthening them. Even the part cut off by Dahei was connected with the help of ice blocks, almost forming a stable ice bridge.

After the ice bridge was built, one hundred White Tigers and thirty Potu Saburos got on the bridge under the control of the Mohist and Gongshu disciples and ran towards the opposite side.

The [-] vanguard army quickly rushed across the pontoon bridge and reached the other side of the river. Then it slowly advanced with heavy shields to resist the Qin army's arrow rain offensive.

The Qin army obviously planned to launch a complete defensive counterattack. They still did not leave the trench offensive, but arrows that looked like spears were shot out one after another.

Those were arrows unique to bed crossbows. Apparently, the Qin army also realized that the shields in Wei Wuzu's hands were of unusual quality and that ordinary arrows were difficult to penetrate, so they could only use this bed crossbow.

But the coalition forces are also guarding against this. Not only are the shields connected with chains to form a shield wall, but they are also held up by burly men like Wei Wuzu.

There are also wooden sticks at the back to support it, so it is not afraid of the impact force of the bed crossbow.

"One, two, come in!"

The soldiers of Wei who had been trained for a long time shouted slogans and pushed their shields forward, while the soldiers of Wei who were holding wooden sticks pushed them further.

In this way, they continued to advance step by step. At the same time, the [-] Zhao troops in the rear also bent their bows and prepared arrows to guard against the sudden rush of the Qin army and possible traps around them.

Some people even stabbed the ground with spears, using the spears to see if there were any traps buried underneath, especially kerosene.

In the art of war, the power of water and fire is the most terrifying. No matter how large the army is, it will be completely annihilated in the face of such a natural disaster.

They must be extremely careful about this and must not give the Qin army an opportunity to take advantage of it.

As long as the Qin army is not given a chance and they advance step by step, they will be able to advance to Xianyang City sooner or later.

At the end are one hundred machine white tigers and thirty broken earth Saburos, waiting for the Qin army to send out the machine beasts.

After the vanguard army advanced to a certain extent and confirmed that there were no hidden arrangements on the river beach, Lian Po decisively ordered the entire army to cross the river.

They must move the entire army over as soon as possible to form a superior force and defeat the Qin army.

Then they went straight to Xianyang City to seize the initiative and force the Qin army to fight them head-on.

He never thought about using any tactics in this battle. He only needed to guard against being plotted by the Qin army, and then use his numerical advantage.

Of course, the main reason for being so eager is that it is summer and the weather is hot. Although South Korea's White Armor Army can condense ice cubes, it cannot last long. The scorching sun exposure and the erosion of water temperature can make those ice cubes melt quickly.

They must all pass before the ice bridge melts, so as not to be attacked by the Qin army when they cross the river halfway, which is a taboo for crossing the river.

Of course, there were not only soldiers in the past, but also racks of ballistae and trebuchets, which were the best weapons to deal with those trench fortifications.

The number of millions of troops was quite large. Even though the pontoon bridge was very wide and the section of the Yellow River selected was very narrow, it still took half a day to pass them all.

The main reason was that the baggage, especially the trebuchets, was difficult to move, and at the same time they had to pull the prepared stones over with horse-drawn carriages.

Otherwise, without the aid of stones, the trebuchet would be just a pile of rotten wood.
