Chapter 293: The bronze man breaks the city and is invincible!
In December of the fifth year of King Qin.
The Qin army's Wang Jian tribe entered Chu from Yufu (now Baidi City in the east of Fengjie) at the junction of Qin and Chu, and then marched along Wujun (around today's Wushan) to Yiling. In fifteen days, they defeated four large cities in Chu.
He and the Lian Po tribe sometimes divided their forces and sometimes joined forces.
Now Gao Cai has been killed.
The ultimate goal of this combat route is to continue southward along the Dongting Line, pass through Cangwu, pierce Linwu, Chu Land, and swallow up Chu Land including Zhaoyao Mountain.
If the cutting of this line is successfully completed, it will eat up nearly a quarter of the Chu people's territory and create a direct channel from Qin to the South China Sea.
This is the intention of Wang Jian's troops in this battle.
In half a month, they reached Gaocai and completed one-third of the battle plan. This shows how sharp Wang Jian and Lian Po are in harmony.
At this time, the Northern Territory of the Qin Dynasty was guarded by Meng Wu and Meng Tian's father and son, and the Wei territory on the eastern front was guarded by Wang Ben's troops to guard against any unusual movements in the Wei territory.
Going south along the east side, they started a full-scale war with the Chu people, fighting on multiple battlefields at the same time.
Yang Ruihe, Meng Yi and others firmly restrained the famous Chu general Xiang Yan at the junction of Qin and Chu on the southern line.
Gao Cai, located to the west of the Chu region, was the most important main battlefield.
Wang Ben and Lian Po each led an army and met outside Gaocai City.
Afternoon.
The Battle of Gongcheng has lasted for most of the day.
The Qin army is a tiger and wolf force, but the Chu people are not Han or Wei, and they can be broken with a single poke.
In particular, the Chu army has also learned Yin Shang's military strategies in recent years, and through practice, their military fronts have increased significantly.
Moreover, Gao Cai's general, Ji E, was a veteran general in his sixties. He was a prudent man and would not stand firm.
Under the city, hundreds of Qin army's engineering equipment were lined up in a row, and with the sound of machine buttons, they were constantly projecting and shaking Gao Cai's city wall.
However, after attacking and defending for half a day, Gaocai City had strong walls and thick walls, and the Qin army did not make progress as expected.
At the top of Gaocai City, the Chu army general Ji E and a group of lieutenants climbed to the city to watch the battle.
"My Gaocai is a fortified city on the western front. It was just re-fortified the year before last to prevent monsters. Even if the Qin army is allowed to attack the city, it won't take more than a few months. It won't be possible to shake my Gaocai."
Ji E watched the battle with a calm heart and gently stroked his long beard.
He looked sharply at the black-armored Qin army under the city.
In the rear formation of the Qin army, which was clearly engaged and with flags fluttering, there were military chariots. On two of them, Wang Jian, the first general of the Qin Dynasty, and Lian Po, the old, strong and strong man, stood respectively.
Wang Jian held the gun in one hand and looked at the city head from a distance.
The two generals looked at each other from afar.
Ji E suddenly activated the power in his body, and his voice shook the battlefield: "The Qin generals Wang Jian, Lian Po, Ren You and others are all brave and brave, but they can't even think of defeating me, Gao Cai. I, Ji E, will lead the Chu generals bravely to stop the Qin army like you."
"
When the soldiers, generals and common people in the Chu city heard Ji E's words from afar, their morale was boosted, and they all cheered in unison to support his power.
Wang Jian smiled on the chariot and said: "Your Majesty cherishes the troops. Considering that our Qin army has been fighting for years and is afraid that the soldiers will be tired of fighting, this time we have specially given a weapon to attack the city.
After fighting for a long time, Gao Cai has figured out what is real and what is not true. Since the Chu general has invited the war, he will release the powerful siege weapons of our Qin Dynasty so that the Chu people can see them."
"good."
Lian Po on the other side said: "Use yours or mine?"
Wang Jian smiled and said: "Use mine. In the cities ahead, General Lian Po used the thick earth beads given by the king to break open the city gates. This time I will try with what the king gave me."
Lian Po asked curiously: "What is the siege weapon that the king gave you? I have never seen the general use it."
Then he saw a lieutenant behind Wang Jian step forward, holding a bronze box with a complicated design, dense incantations, and a square foot.
The moment the copper box was opened, there was a roar.
The sky thundered.
Qiang~Qiang Qiang!
In the copper box, there seemed to be thousands of armies and horses clashing with each other, making clanging noises.
Immediately, a majestic energy rushed out, like a huge mountain being released.
The bronze man walked out of the bronze box.
When it was in the box, it was less than a foot big, but the moment it stepped out of the box, it instantly climbed to more than thirty feet. It was so majestic that it was like a copper mountain.
Boom boom boom!
The earth shook, and the heaven and earth shook as the bronze man moved forward.
Inside and outside Gaocai City, there was total silence.
Tens of thousands of eyes looked at the bronze man running toward the city gate.
The Chu army's horror and the Qin army's excitement formed a sharp contrast.
"Quick, use military formations to activate all city defenses!" On top of the city, Ji E was horrified.
I didn't expect that one sentence would provoke such a big bronze statue.
On the top of the Chu army's city, a black bird spawned by the combined efforts of all the armies quickly rose up.
Because he also learned the military strategies of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the totem he transformed into was also the black bird of the Shang Dynasty.
This black bird's wings are spread out and is no less than a hundred feet tall. Every detail of its crown, body, and claws is extremely clear, and its aura is powerful and vigorous.
In addition, there is a totem of a nine-headed bird rising, its power is hardly inferior to that of the black bird. It is also the totem of the military formation formed by the Chu army.
The black bird and the nine-headed bird rose into the sky, spitting flames from their mouths, and rushed towards the bronze man.
call!
The overwhelming wave of fire hit him, and the bronze man ran wildly, not dodging or avoiding, and hit the city gate directly.
In the flames, the bronze man's body emitted thousands of cyan mantras of light, and the mantras he released were protective walls that were several feet thick.
Boom!
The bronze man took long strides and hit the city gate as the earth shook and the mountains shook.
Countless curse patterns appeared inside and outside Gao Cai's city wall, coiling like a giant python to resist collisions.
Even so, the entire city was still shaking violently.
From a spectator's perspective, it looks like a moving mountain crashing into another mountain, causing rocks to fly.
The city walls are covered with cracks.
Using bronze men to attack a city is cheating, and it directly turns the siege into a battle between immortals and demons.
Ji E shouted loudly, waved his hand and threw out a spear.
The spear pierced the bronze man's body like a straw, failing to even break through his defense.
At this time, the black bird and the nine-headed bird flew down from the sky and pounced on the bronze man.
The bronze man stretched out his arm to grab it. His arms were as long as mountains, covering the sky and the sun. He actually held the black bird and the nine-headed bird under one arm at the same time. There was an explosion, and the black bird was caught by the bronze man like a real creature.
He broke his neck.
Its huge fist hammered the nine-headed bird, scattering it into a stream of mana that filled the sky.
In the city, tens of thousands of Chu troops who released their military formation totems all snorted, their eyebrows splitting.
Click!
The bronze man swung his fist and hit the city gate hard.
The city gate exploded with a bang and was torn into pieces.
Two attacks shattered the gates of a fortified city!
The existence of the Bronze Man offset the Chu army's advantage of relying on city defense, forcing the Chu and Qin armies to confront each other head-on.
The two sides changed from a siege battle to a confrontation between two armies.
The morale of the Qin army was high, and they rushed into the breached Gaocai City like a tide.
One day later, Gao Cai's city was defeated and the news of Qin's cheating reached Shouchun.
The whole city of Shouchun was in panic.
In half a month, the Qin army broke through the Chu city, and even Gao Cai could not stop the Qin army for a day.
In the palace, Xiong Han looked gloomy.
At the beginning of the war, when he chose to take the initiative to attack Qin, he never expected that this would be the situation before him.
"The Qin army sent a bronze giant, and the news they sent back said that the bronze giant was tens of feet tall, and it smashed the Gaocai city gate with two impacts." Xiao Qing, a general under the command of Mo Mansion, a Chu native, said.
"What's the situation with other battles in various places?" Li Yuan on the other side asked.
"The balance of power on the eastern front is maintained. General Xiang Yan and the eight tribes of Meng Ao have been fighting fiercely for many days. The winner has not yet been determined... In our Chu territory, Yang Ruihe and Meng Yi's tribe have joined forces with the Qin army on the eastern front.
Together……
Baiyao, deputy secretary of the Ye Yufu of the Qin Dynasty, openly entered the Chu territory, and now my subordinates in the Mofu are setting up an ambush to kill him."
"Only the war situation on the western front is worrying. If we can't find a way to contain the Qin army's bronze men, we may not be able to prevent the Qin army from breaking the city."
Xiong Han waved Xiao Qing to step back.
"How do you think my uncle should deal with the situation on the Western Front and prevent the Qin army from invading our great Chu city?" Xiong Han said with a frown.
"My Great Chu's Immortal Bell will definitely be able to contain the bronze men of Qin." Li Yuan said solemnly.
Xiong Han said flatly: "No, the Zhenguo Zhong suppresses the fate of a country and cannot leave the capital."
He pondered for a moment: "For the present plan, we can only use the things left by our ancestors...Uncle, come with me."
A quarter of an hour later, the two came to an underground palace beneath the Dachu Palace.
Li Yuan came here for the first time and followed Xiong Han, King of Chu, all the way.
The underground palace is silent, the walls are covered with dense formation lines, and secret power is flowing.
At the end of the underground palace, Li Yuan saw a scene that shocked him extremely.
In a stone room more than ten feet wide, a naked body, indistinguishable from male to female, floated three feet in the air, lying there.
Although it was a corpse, fairy light surged around him.
The formations, spells and other powers arranged throughout the underground palace are all designed to suppress this corpse.
The void around the corpse was illuminated by the fairy light gushing out of its body, and ripples filled the air, as if it could break free at any time and merge into the void and disappear.
"This is the corpse we found from an ancient immortal tomb after the founding of the Kingdom of Chu. It is suspected to be the corpse of an immortal, and it is not an ordinary remains of an immortal or demon.
According to the ancestral records, this immortal corpse may have been an immortal during his lifetime, with power comparable to that of a saint in the fourth or fifth realms."
Xiong Han's eyes showed a strange light as he stared at the corpse.
Li Yuan was unable to get any closer with a distance of seven to eight feet.
He discovered that there was a small crack between the eyebrows of the immortal corpse, which was a fatal wound. After thousands of years, blood still flowed out of the scar, which was bright red and dazzling.
"The king wants to release this immortal corpse to deal with the Qin people?"
"Well, my Great Chu clan has a secret technique that can divide the soul and place it in the corpse of an immortal, so that you can control it in battle. I happen to have some talent for this secret technique, and I have... placed it in this corpse of an immortal.
Later, uncle, don't feel weird."
As Xiong Han spoke, the center of his eyebrows glowed, and the soul within his body separated into a dark shadow, which disappeared into the immortal corpse's body from the cracked position between its eyebrows.
Suddenly, the corpse of the immortal emitted terrifying fluctuations far beyond those before.
He slowly sat up from his supine position.
A layer of black-yellow mana robes appeared on the body, with a strange and ancient shape, like the clothes from the mythological period.
He kept his eyes closed, but it gave the impression that he was 'scanning' the surroundings, and he uttered a hoarse and sinister voice: "Today's Middle-earth China is divided into two races, humans and monsters, and there are three religions and nine streams of practice. The practice of practice is flourishing..."
This is obviously not all the king's consciousness. Could it be that there is still a remnant soul in this immortal's body... Li Yuanxin thought in shock.
After dividing his soul, Xiong Han turned pale: "Uncle, help me protect the law and don't let anyone get close to me."
On this day, the immortal corpse flew away from the palace of the King of Chu. In a blink of an eye, it crossed a hundred miles and rushed towards the western border of the Chu land.
The next day, a terrifying confrontation between immortals and demons took place to the west of Chu Land.
A bronze giant fought fiercely with the immortal corpse that came over in the wilderness.
The immortal corpse used the energy in its body to transform into an immortal sword. The sword light was swung a hundred feet long, splitting the sky and splitting the earth.
The bronze man used his bare hands, but the punch pillar he punched was not weak at all, and could compete with the immortal corpse.
The confrontation between the two caused mountains to fall, rivers to cut off, and the earth was devastated, and everything collapsed.
"The Chu people do have some foundation." On a hilltop in the distance, Lian Po said while watching the battle.
"The people of Chu produced many immortals and demons in ancient times." The sword in Wang Jian's hand vibrated, and he was filled with fighting spirit.

"Xun Sheng is gone?" Zhao Huaizhong asked Zou Yan.
Zou Yanzheng lowered his head to look at the scroll of the Yin and Shang Secret Palace array patterns spread out in front of him.
"Well, Qin and Chu clashed, and Chu was in turmoil.
He is a little worried about leaving those properties in Chudi, and wants to go back and have a look, and will return in a few days." Zou Yan said.
Zhao Huaizhong responded and looked at the secret map that Zou Yan was studying: "Zou Sheng is studying the Kunlun Palace corresponding to the Yin and Shang Secret Palace?"

Lanling County, Chu District.
The place where Xunzi lived was a small courtyard with two entrances.
There is a gatekeeper in the courtyard, he is about sixty years old, thin and does not know how to practice.
The old gatekeeper also had a mute grandson. Xunzi saw that the grandson and grandson were pitiful and were begging on the street, so he brought him back and became a gatekeeper.
In addition, there are two disciples who entered the house and have been with Xunzi in recent years.
"Master went to Qi this time and then to Qin. He hasn't returned for a long time. I don't know when he will come back."
In the courtyard, there was a disciple who was sorting and drying his slips. His name was Wu Xi. He was in his early twenties, had an ordinary figure, and was the same as Xunzi. He was wearing a white robe.
"I just received the message slip from Master and will be back soon.
We may also follow him to Qin later." Another disciple named Zhang Cang, like Xunzi, liked to wear white robes.
"I heard that King Qin is about the same age as me, but he is a Saint of the Fifth Realm. His cultivation is higher than that of Master. He is like a fairy and demon. I have long wanted to meet him."
Wu Xi was a little excited when she heard that she was going to Qin.
"Master is about to advance to the fifth realm, so he is going to Qin to use the power of Xianyang City to break through." Zhang Cang said.
Wu Xi looked at the old concierge sitting on the other side basking in the sun and his seven or eight-year-old mute grandson with a snot-filled nose: "What should we do with the two of them?"
"Master will come back to make arrangements, so don't worry about it blindly," Zhang Cang said.
"Xunzi lives here?"
While Zhang Cang and Wu Xi were talking, a voice suddenly sounded from the courtyard gate.
Zhang Cang frowned slightly. This voice made him very uncomfortable. There was no emotion in it, and it was extremely indifferent.
He turned around and looked over, and saw a man in gold robe standing at the entrance of the courtyard with an expressionless face.
