The Qin Dynasty opened the Hengqu Four Sentences, sweeping away all the schools of thought

In the tenth year of King Zheng of Qin, General Wang Jian led his troops to attack Zhao. The troops were divided into two routes and successively captured nine cities including Yanyu, Liaoyang, Zhanye, Anyang, etc., intending to attack Zhao from the north and south from Henei and Jingjing.

Facing the powerful Qin army, the Zhao army was defeated one after another. Seeing that the Qin army was less than a hundred miles away from Handan, the panicked King Jia of Zhao hurriedly recalled Li Mu, who was guarding the border, and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of an army of 400,000 to stop the Qin army.

The Qin army's offensive was immediately blocked and it suffered occasional defeats in small-scale encounters.

The Zhao army seemed to have stabilized the situation, but Li Mu knew that it was all an illusion.

Because in this battle, the Qin army did not use the war weapon - the Demon God of War at all.

"General, the leader of the Mohist school has led all the Mohists to Wuguan." Sima Shang walked quickly to Li Mu from the top of Wu'an City Wall, his voice full of excitement. "Not only did they bring the two mechanical beasts, the White Tiger and the Azure Dragon, they also successfully imitated the Qin army's thunderbolt cannon and explosives. I have ordered the craftsmen in the city to make them overnight. The next time the Qin army attacks the city, we will definitely give them a surprise!"

Li Mu's frown relaxed slightly upon hearing this. Under such critical circumstances, this was indeed a rare piece of good news.

But is the strength of the Qin army really the same as it appears on the surface? Li Mu thinks that they are likely to have hidden secret weapons.

Thinking of this, his expression became solemn.

In the past, the outcome of a war depended more on the right time, place, and people, as well as the generals' deployment of troops, strategic policies, and weapons and equipment, which often accounted for a very small proportion.

But now the situation is reversed, because the weapons and equipment of the Qin army are far ahead of those of the six countries. The two are not at the same level at all. With the huge gap in weapons, the role that the generals can play is minimal. Even if the Qin army sends out an ordinary general, it can crush the Zhao army!

Not to mention that the Qin army is now led by Wang Jian, the most famous general among the six kingdoms.

Under the leadership of Sima Shang, Li Mu warmly received the Mohist leader and Master Ban and his entourage in his mansion.

"Prince Dan?" Li Mu was slightly surprised when he saw the face of the Mohist leader.

"General Li Mu, I am no longer the crown prince of Yan." Yan Dan shook his head bitterly. After he sent Qin Wuyang to assassinate Qin and failed, Ying Zheng was furious and sent an envoy to question King Xi of Yan. Knowing that something was wrong, Yan Dan hurriedly fled from Yan. And the fact was exactly as he expected. His father issued a royal decree to search the whole country for his whereabouts, and even posted a notice that anyone who told his whereabouts would be captured or killed, and would receive a reward ranging from thousands.

The honorable crown prince instantly became a wanted criminal coveted by everyone.

"The great man's righteous act deserves praise from chivalrous men all over the world." Li Mu, who was on the same front as Yan Dan, naturally appreciated Yan Dan's move of sending an envoy to assassinate Qin, but at the same time he couldn't help feeling it was a pity. If it had really succeeded, perhaps the three kingdoms of Zhao, Yan, and Qi could really breathe a sigh of relief.

"Assassinating the King of Qin was a helpless act, but unfortunately it failed." Yan Dan straightened his face and said solemnly, "Among the remaining three countries, if anyone can fight against the Qin army, it must be Zhao and General Li Mu! Dan came here this time to lend a helping hand to General Li Mu and fight against the tyrannical Qin together!"

"It's a pity that Dan couldn't convince father. If the power of Yan State was used to help, the chances of winning would definitely increase greatly."

"I am already very grateful for your wholehearted help." Li Mu clasped his hands together to show his respect. As for Yan Dan's suggestion that the whole country of Yan would help, he didn't hold out much hope at all.

As neighboring countries among the Seven Kingdoms, frictions were inevitable between the two countries. After the Battle of Changping, Zhao was severely damaged, while Yan was at its peak. After King Xi of Yan sent Li Fu to test Zhao's strength, Yan immediately sent troops to attack Zhao. However, with a total force of 600,000, they were defeated by Zhao general Lian Po who led 130,000 newly recruited soldiers. What is even more incredible is that two years after this battle, Le Cheng led tens of thousands of troops and easily invaded Yan's Du Kang area, and even almost broke through Yan's lower capital Wuyang.

Yan had almost no ability to fight back against Zhao, and Zhao was completely at a disadvantage facing the Qin army. One can imagine how Yan coped when facing Qin.

If the State of Yan mobilized all its national strength to help, and the Qin army surrounded Yan, would he rescue it or not?

If no rescue is given, the Yan army will inevitably be defeated, and if troops are sent to help, they may fall into the Qin army's trap.

In Li Mu's opinion, the three countries of Zhao, Yan and Qi now have no possibility of confronting Qin head-on. The only way to prolong the country's prosperity is to build strong fortifications and defend the country.

This is more like a dying struggle, and also a helpless expression.

The day after Yan Dan arrived in Wuan, the Qin army launched a full-scale general offensive.

Wu'an, with its strong walls, was shattered by the bombardment of explosive packs. The Qin army rushed towards the broken places like a tide and was about to rush into the city when a bloody killing machine suddenly rushed out. It was made of bronze and was blue-gray in color. Its four arms rotated like cattail leaves fans. Wherever it went, the Qin army was cut in half.

A blood mist rose, and in just a moment, corpses were scattered all over the city.

Faced with this killing machine, even the usually brave Qin people couldn't help but feel fear and retreated involuntarily.

Roar!

At this moment, a roar was heard, and the mechanical white tiger leaped into the air, joining the battlefield and chasing the Qin soldiers.

Li Mu looked at the city with its gates wide open and the Qin army on the verge of collapse, and immediately ordered his troops to pursue outside the city.

In the Qin army camp, Wang Jian held a telescope and had a panoramic view of the entire battlefield situation.

"Gongshu Chou, it's your turn to take action!"

"General Wang Jian, don't worry. The mechanical techniques of the Mohist school are vulnerable in front of the mechanical techniques of the Tyrannical School!" Gongshu Chou looked excited. He had longed to be able to fight against the ultimate weapon of the Mohist school!

He will defeat the Azure Dragon of Mechanical Engineering head-on, clear the name of his ancestor, and tell the world who is the best in the art of mechanical engineering between Mohist and Gongshujia!

Under his command, Jifa Chilian and Luban No. 1 joined the battlefield one after another.

The two immediately started fighting with the White Tiger and the Azure Dragon. The fighting power of Jifa Chilian and the White Tiger was comparable, while Luban No. 1 had less single-point killing power than the Azure Dragon, but was more agile.

Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to tell which one is better for a while.

Li Mu, who led the cavalry out of the city, drove the defeated Qin soldiers towards the Qin army camp, attempting to defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop. A batch of thunder cannons and explosives that were rushed out overnight also played a miraculous role in this surprise attack. However, just when the situation was going well, dozens of machine sounds came from all directions.

"Who said I was short?"

"Human cannon, fire!"

boom!

Suddenly there was a loud explosion, the heaven and earth shook, and the place where the Zhao army was located was instantly covered by flames.

Thousands of Zhao soldiers were engulfed in flames, and the neat cavalry formation became scattered. Seeing the familiar dozen or so figures, Li Mu felt like he was falling into an abyss.

The Qin State actually had more than a dozen of these killing weapons!

What’s even more infuriating is that after causing effective damage, this thing actually lets out a weird laugh.

"Come and hit me!"
