What group are you guys?

Chapter 525 The painting style is wrong
"The King of Tang has been staying in the palace. A group of Mohists came to help him build a palace? By the way, that guy also mobilized tens of thousands of civilians to build a building?"

Looking at the news coming from Luoyang City, Wang Ben was so angry that he almost laughed.

Instead of strengthening the city defenses when the army was approaching, he actually asked people to build a palace for him. Even King Zhou of Shang wouldn't do such a thing!

However, although it is good for me if the enemy is a little stupid, it is obvious that the other party looks down on my father by doing this, which is simply hateful!

Wang Ben is the son of Wang Jian, who is currently recognized as the best general in the world. A few years ago, Wei Wuji led the coalition forces of five countries to attack Qin. If it were not for Wang Jian's strategic planning to stop the coalition forces outside Hangu Pass, then even if Qin wanted to use tactics to alienate the countries, it would not have had the time, right?
The reason why strategies and diplomacy are useful is that the military cannot be defeated too badly. Just when we are preparing to alienate the enemy or negotiate, but the crystal of our own base has been pushed, what's the point of talking!
Now that Bai Qi and Lian Po are dead, Li Mu is still serving as a Xiongnu captain on the frontier. It can be said that Wang Jian is currently the best military strategist in the world, which is recognized by the world.

Even the later Qin Emperor was somewhat afraid of Wang Jian's prestige and sent Li Xin to attack the State of Chu instead, because he felt that Wang Jian's contributions were too great and his reputation was too great!
To be honest, Wang Jian had to learn how to be an official before learning how to fight a war. Otherwise, with his merits and status, he would definitely have come into conflict with the Qin Emperor.

"General, we are almost in Luoyang! Should we set up camp now or attack directly?"

Wang Ben is now the vanguard of the army. It is impossible for 300,000 troops to rush out at once. If they lead the troops forward in a swarm like Li Qingyuan did, it would be like a school organizing a spring outing, which would definitely cause problems!

"Of course we are setting up camp! Set up the barracks for me. Mr. Gongshu, please also put all the crossbow carts in place to prevent the enemy from launching a fire attack at night!"

Although he was somewhat angry, as a famous general of the Qin State, Wang Ben would naturally not attack the city out of momentary anger, but instead began to give orders directly.

So the Qin army immediately began to set up camp about fifteen miles away from Luoyang. On the Luoyang city wall, Li Qingyuan and his men were watching this rare sight.

The Qin army is indeed the elite in the world, especially since there is Gongshu Jia among them. A group of guys dressed somewhat like Frankenstein in later generations are controlling their mechanical arms to build and repair equipment.

Gongshu Jia is good at human body modification. Originally, when Lu Ban created this ability, his intention was to allow those with disabilities to walk freely. However, with the improvement of technology and the improvement of concepts, many of Gongshu Jia's disciples now find that compared with the weak human torso, the mechanical puppets they create are obviously much more useful.

A human arm can only lift a few hundred pounds at most. Even if one has cultivated various internal forces, he can only lift a few thousand pounds at most. But as long as a mechanical arm is installed, one can easily pick up objects weighing thousands of pounds, and even make them invulnerable to swords and guns and as soft as molten iron!
Compared to practicing hard for decades but still failing to achieve success due to lack of understanding, you can just discard the useless torso and immediately replace it with a powerful mechanical torso. The cost-effectiveness is simply amazing!
That is to say, Gongshu's mechanical skills are very particular about inheritance, and the manufacture of those high-level mechanical joints requires a large amount of precious resources. Otherwise, it is estimated that at least 100,000 of the 300,000 Qin troops would be transformed into puppet warriors.

After all, compared with the soft and weak flesh that will be injured if touched, the mechanical ascension of flesh and blood made of various rare materials is obviously much more convenient.

"This loser is acting like a member of the Mechanicus!"

Looking at the disciples of Gongshu who had their limbs transformed into machines, Li Qingyuan couldn't help but feel a little confused. No wonder even when he took out the Gatling Mo family's Master Ban, he only marveled at the novelty of the manufacturing of this thing without too much emotion. Compared with the crazy transformation method of Gongshu, modern technology can only have the advantage of fast production of process assembly line.

You know, even the mechanical exoskeletons in those science fiction movies of later generations don’t seem to be as useful as Gong Shujia’s puppet robot arm!
However, although Gongshujia's mechanical arm does look very mysterious, there are only a few people in the entire Qin army camp. After talking with the master, Li Qingyuan also knows that the total population of Gongshujia is less than 30.

Unless these thirty people are all driving Gundams, they really won't be able to play much of a role in a large-scale war.

Just like the unparalleled mechanical techniques of the Mohist school.

Master Ban's personal ability is comparable to that of a 3D printer. It can be said that if given some time, he can directly rub out a Gatling gun with his hands, and the accuracy error will not even exceed one ten-thousandth.

Li Qingyuan felt that if he gave Master Ban the corresponding blueprints, it would not be difficult for the old man to build a tank or a helicopter by himself?
However, this manufacturing method relies purely on handwork by a master alone, and mass production is absolutely impossible.

Just like in the Tang Dynasty plane, firearms are not a difficult task for those top craftsmen, but the manufacturing speed of bullets cannot keep up with the consumption speed, because the thing will easily explode if the size is slightly deviated. And letting a master who can make an AK by hand to make bullets specifically is definitely more wasteful than using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito!
"General Fan, how confident are you in defending the city?"

Li Qingyuan felt that he was still a layman when it came to fighting, so he asked Fan Yuqi directly.

"Don't worry, my king. With our elite troops and excellent weapons here, I can definitely defend Luoyang City!"

Fan Yuqi immediately said that it did not exist. It is true that Wang Jian is the best general in the world today, and he is definitely better than himself in terms of status, fame and command, but he is no pushover!
What's more, the city wall of Luoyang City alone is more than 30 meters high and more than ten meters thick, and the wall is filled with various city defense equipment made by Gongshujia. It can be said that he has never fought such a rich battle in his life!

"I'll leave the defense of the city to you! As for the spies? Giant Salamander!"

Even though Gongshujia's mechanical puppet looks weird, it only looks powerful, and it's just so-so when it comes to actual fighting.

If the Qin State wanted to capture Luoyang, it would either have to spend a lot of time and energy fighting to the death, or let spies and secret agents create chaos in the city, or directly send experts to blow up the city gates, just like what someone did a few days ago!
But that’s it!
A true top master would not put himself in danger, so all we need to do is let the Jinyiwei under Jingwei pay attention to those idle people in the city.
