Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Chapter 307 The Siege of Xinzheng [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Unexpectedly, Han Fei had made arrangements in advance, inviting the Mohist leader Six-Fingered Black Knight, Master Ban of Mechanical Arts, Master Xu, the Sword Master, Dao Zhi, the King of Thieves, and a group of Mohist disciples to help defend the city.

The Mohists, as everyone knows, advocated universal love and non-aggression, opposed war, and loved defending cities.

Besides the Mohists, Han Fei also brought in his relative, the State of Wei, and persuaded the King of Wei to send 30,000 troops to support him.

Under the oppressive force of the Qin army, even Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei had to abandon their internal struggle with Han Fei and resist the Qin army.

Because their power is built on the foundation of the great tree of Korea, once Korea is destroyed, their power will vanish.

Nevertheless, the weak state of Han could not possibly be a match for the state of Qin.

At the foot of Xinzheng City, a large army was attacking.

The Mohist leader, Six-Fingered Black Knight, with the cultivation of the Yang God Realm, and the Sword Master, Master Xu, with the cultivation of the Yin God Realm, both wanted to use their powerful martial arts skills to break through the Qin army's formation of 10 men.

The six-fingered black-clad swordsman was dressed in a black cloak and held a black-browed sword.

Like a sword, yet not for attack; dark eyebrows, yet without edge.

Mo Mei is entirely black, without a blade or edge, embodying the virtue of a sword that is more powerful than any other.

"The Qin state has waged an unjust war by attacking other states' cities without authorization, thus provoking conflict. This is an unjust act; retreat immediately!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xuan Jian, a top-tier assassin from the Luo Wang organization, wielding the Black and White Xuan Jian swords, attacked Six-Fingered Black Knight.

Unexpectedly, they had unparalleled martial artists, and the Qin state also had unparalleled martial artists.

Both were top-tier experts with similar cultivation levels, but Xuan Jian was slightly stronger.

Xuan Jian is skilled in both internal and external martial arts. He can take lives with a straight blade and suppress souls with a reverse blade. He is extremely adept at killing and has suppressed the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

The two fought their way out of the battlefield, and the mere expanse of their sword energy sliced ​​through countless armored soldiers, leaving deep furrows in the earth.

Xu Fuzi was dealt with by the Yin-Yang School's Grand Master of Fate; both were at the Yin God Realm and fought to a standstill.

Master Ban used the Mohist non-aggression mechanism technique to send out four-clawed iron spiders to fight.

"Universal love and non-aggression, go forth, four-clawed iron spider!"

The four-clawed iron spider is very powerful and can withstand an army of over a hundred men as it begins to charge into the siege formation.

On the Qin army's side, Gongshu Chou looked at the Mo family members with hatred on his face and released the mechanical snakes with a cold smile.

"The Mohists are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs; how could they possibly be a match for the domineering mechanical arts of my Gongshu family?"

"Go, mechanical snake, crush them!"

Mechanical snakes danced wildly in the sandstorm, their movements elusive and unpredictable. They came in large and small forms, possessing formidable fighting power far surpassing the four-clawed iron spiders invented by Master Ban.

Soon, the mechanical snake destroyed the Mo family's four-clawed iron spider, crushing it into scrap metal.

Gongshu Chou's left hand was a mechanical hand, and his feet were mechanical feet, making him incredibly agile. The technology behind these mechanical prosthetics impressed Chen Hong greatly.

This prosthetic technology is even more advanced than in later generations. The small prosthetic limb actually contains an incredibly high level of technology.

Even with the technological level of later generations, it will be impossible to create such flexible mechanical prosthetics as Gongshu Chou's.

Chen Hong was at a loss for words when it came to Daqin Technology.

"You mere city wall? Watch me dig down your city walls and see how the Mohists will defend the city!"

Gongshu Chou released Potu Sanlang with a sinister smile. He was clearly obsessed with the city defense strategy that his ancestor Lu Ban had failed to break through Mozi's, and he made many designs to counter the Mo family's mechanical arts.

Poto Saburo is a huge creature, resembling a pangolin. Its body is composed of eight modules cast from refined steel. It is a large mechanical beast created by the Gongshu family for siege warfare and burrowing.

It can transform into a city-destroying form and a mechanical beast form.

Then, Saburō burrowed underground and began digging and destroying the city wall of Xinzheng.

Master Ban was shocked and immediately ordered, "Dao Zhi, quickly find the core of Po Tu San Lang, steal it, and make it unable to move."

The King of Thieves, Dao Zhi, pointed at himself, looking completely bewildered: "Huh, me?"

Dao Zhi looked at the giant pangolin turning over the soil, then at his own small body. They were not even in the same league, and Dao Zhi felt terrible.

"Go!"

Master Ban urged anxiously.

Dao Zhi looked grim and went to find Po Tu San Lang while cursing.

However, Saburo Hatsutoshi was like a giant underground super tank, its entire body made of thick steel, with no gaps to be found to enter.

Seeing that the city wall was shaking from being dug up, Dao Zhi risked entering the mouth of the earth-eating beast, Po Tu San Lang, and went inside its body.

Finally, just as the city wall was about to collapse, they found its core and stole it.

Unfortunately, Dao Zhi was soon overwhelmed by the endless stream of Po Tu Qi Lang.

The Seven-Brother Piercing Ground is incredibly skillful, capable of destroying metal and stone. It resembles a small lizard. Its function is to infiltrate and destroy mechanisms (like a virus destroying a computer). It is a small-scale mechanism.

Although the Seven Broken Earth Sprites possessed considerable attack power due to their sheer numbers, Dao Zhi, having cultivated Chen Hong's true qi system, was incredibly strong. He quickly shook off the endless Seven Broken Earth Sprites and emerged from the ground.

Looking at the crumbling city wall, Gongshu Chou chuckled and waved his hand.

"Go! Hundred Battle Divine Crossbow!"

The Hundred Battles Divine Crossbow is a large bed crossbow created by the Gongshu family, a powerful weapon of war.

It can fire 100 crossbow bolts loaded with flammable material at once, and the explosion time can be controlled. Each two crossbow bolts can cover an area of ​​about one mile.

The soldiers operated the terrifying crossbows, and soon, hundreds of bolts roared out.

"pon!"

A huge explosion rang out, and the already crumbling city wall was completely destroyed.

"Wow!"

"We're doomed!" Master Ban released the mechanical Vermilion Bird, mounted it, and shouted, "Run!"

Many disciples immediately boarded the small Vermilion Bird and took off to escape.

The Vermilion Bird can be large or small, and can fly, transmit information, and carry people.

They cannot fly themselves; they fly in the air by relying on air currents and wind direction.

The skeleton of the Vermilion Bird is forged from bronze and covered with cedar wood. It has a wingspan of 23 meters and its flight principle is based on wind propulsion and airflow control.

Looking at the mechanical Vermilion Bird flying in the sky, Gongshu Chou's face was cold, and he sneered:
"Hmph, want to run?"

"It's not that easy."

"Three-foot bat wings, go, shoot those stinky birds down for me."

Immediately, soldiers rode three-zhang-long bat-winged steeds into the sky and attacked the Vermilion Birds.

The two sides went back and forth and fought fiercely.

The Mohists fought back while retreating.

After the city wall of Xinzheng collapsed, the Qin army stormed into the city.

Even the Blood-Clad Marquis couldn't hold back anymore. He unleashed his full power, freezing ice and causing ice thorns to grow wildly, piercing through the armor of Qin soldiers and killing them on the spot.

Blood-Clad Marquis led a large army, and Ji Wuye also led a large army to resist the Qin army.

Even Wei Zhuang had to help the Han army resist the Qin army.

Only the King of Han, heavily pregnant and trembling with fear in the palace, held the hands of his several concubines and awaited his fate with a group of incompetent officials.

Countless timid civil officials were so frightened that they shouted for peace talks, for the cession of cities and territories, in exchange for the withdrawal of Qin troops.

The King of Han wanted to cede the city in exchange for peace, but he was also reluctant to do so.

However, under the circumstances of the crisis, he still agreed to send an envoy to tell Neishi Teng that he wanted to cede the city and request the Qin state to withdraw its troops.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

Who would willingly give up a piece of fat meat that's right in their hands?

Once we capture Xinzheng, the entire state of Han will belong to Qin. Why would we need to cede any more cities?
Aren't these all cities of the Qin state?

Ninth Prince Han Fei watched all of this helplessly.

South Korea is too weak; under overwhelming pressure, any strategy is useless.

He had previously secretly sent people to the other five countries to discuss forming an alliance.

However, all five states were already corrupt and, like the state of Han, were riddled with internal conflicts and busy fighting among themselves. They had no intention of sending troops to provoke Qin.

These people don't even understand the concept of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold" (meaning that if one's life is lost, the other will be vulnerable). They are even more despicable than during the time of Su Qin.

In the end, only by relying on Honglian's kinship with the Empress Dowager of Wei and her influence could they barely persuade the King of Wei to send 30,000 troops to their aid.

As a result, these people were just going through the motions, only thinking about protecting themselves, and had no intention of losing too many troops for the sake of South Korea.

In the midst of the fighting, they turned back and returned to the State of Wei, no longer caring about the fate of the State of Han.

Seeing this bizarre scene, even Han Fei couldn't help but sigh:
"The six states are all insects and beasts."

How could I possibly be a match for tigers and wolves?

"wind!"

"wind!"

"Gale!"

The Qin army crossed the city wall, their morale soaring. They pulled back their crossbows and unleashed a dense barrage of bolts.

"Ice shield!"

Bai Yifei unleashed a large ice shield, blocking some of the arrow rain and protecting a portion of his elite soldiers.

Ji Wuye, however, did not possess such martial arts skills, and his soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

His face was grim; he was already contemplating whether to surrender, whether he could get a higher title, and whether he could retain his military power.

He looked at Bai Yifei in the distance. Bai Yifei was the strongest fighter under his command, and his only hope of keeping his position rested on Bai Yifei.

Bai Yifei, despite being only at the Yangshen Realm, was able to single-handedly defeat 13,000 armored soldiers, leading his White Armor Army to resist the Qin army's attack.

Wei Zhuang, being at the Yin God Realm, was capable of fighting eight thousand armored soldiers alone, which also tied down a portion of the troops.

The situation was bad, but not so bad that all hope was lost.

But just then, the Six Sword Slaves of Luo Wang suddenly appeared and attacked Bai Yifei.

Although the Six Sword Slaves were only at the Yin God Realm, a realm lower than Bai Yifei, they cooperated seamlessly with each other.

The True Steel, Water-Cutting, Chaotic God, Demon, Soul-Turning, and Soul-Extinguishing are six of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue. They complement each other and are practiced as extreme assassin killing techniques. Every move is deadly, and when they work together, they unleash tremendous power.

This put immense pressure on Bai Yifei, making it impossible for him to assess the battlefield conditions of his soldiers.

On Wei Zhuang's side, Sword Saint Gai Nie personally took action, and these sworn brothers fought again.

Having contained the skilled fighters of Han, the remaining soldiers were basically left to Qin to chase and attack Han.

The Korean soldiers suffered repeated defeats and were no match for the Qin army.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Ji Wuye actually shouted:
"I am willing to surrender to Qin! I am willing to surrender to Qin!"

"We're on the same side! We're on the same side!"
