Guo Xiaoding sneered, Cheng Youwei sneered, and the other two governors narrowed their eyes and watched the two people bickering.

The matter of naturalizing the Shang Dynasty and the fact that the Shang Dynasty called them barbarians, can it be explained in just a sentence or two?
If their northern border tribes wanted to submit to the Imperial Shang Dynasty, they would have to abandon their own customs, writing, beliefs and ideas, as well as their long-standing habits. Moreover, if they joined the Imperial Shang Dynasty, they would have to endure discrimination from the people of the Imperial Shang Dynasty at all times.

More importantly, if they truly surrendered to the Imperial Shang Dynasty, this group of Chanyu would be incorporated into the Imperial Shang Dynasty, dispersed and sent to various places of the Imperial Shang Dynasty, and become ordinary generals.

From a tribal Chanyu to an ordinary general, such a huge gap is naturally unacceptable to this group of Chanyus.

Therefore, for the tribes in the northern border, they would not submit to the Imperial Shang Dynasty unless it was a matter of life and death.

For the Imperial Shang Dynasty, all the land under heaven belonged to the king. They sent great Confucian scholars to educate the barbarians, which was a gift and the kindness of the emperor. However, these barbarians were not grateful and instead slaughtered the great Confucian scholars of the Imperial Shang Dynasty. This was simply a provocation to the Imperial Shang Dynasty.

Now the two sides regard each other as enemies. After the tribes in the northern border slaughtered the great Confucian scholars, even if the tribes in the northern border wanted to surrender and submit to the Imperial Shang Dynasty, they would all be slaughtered.

There is no need for the military strategists of the Shang Dynasty to take action, the Confucian Gongyang School will personally destroy the barbarian tribes in the northern border.

"There is no point in talking any more, let's see what's really going on!"

"I want to see how long your mere 2,000 soldiers can hold off my 300,000-man army."

Cheng Youwei looked at the kind fat old man and the other thin old man with a scrawled face and smiled:
"You two, why don't we make a bet on how long Yancheng can hold us back!"

"I feel that with the strength of our army, Yancheng alone can't hold our army back for even a stick of incense!"

"Alliance leader, don't underestimate General Guo!"

“General Guo has been active in the northern border for so many years, so he must be very skilled. Although Yancheng only has 2,000 soldiers, with General Guo here, it’s more than enough to hold us back for an incense stick.

I think Yancheng can hold us off for at least an hour!"

"Humph, how can a small Yancheng, without a city defense formation and Mo's terrifying mechanical devices, hold us back for an hour?
How can they hold us back for an hour? A few watchtowers, or a moat that can be crossed with one foot?"

"Let me tell you!"

"A single charge from the army will be enough to capture Yancheng!"

The old man with graffiti all over his face was very disdainful. How could Yancheng's defensive fortifications possibly stop their army!

Even if Guo Xiaoding was guarding Yancheng, he would not be able to stop their army!
"Hahaha, then let's see how long Yancheng can hold us back!"

"If I lose, I will take out my treasured wine and let the two of you taste it together!"

Cheng Youwei did not ask the other two people what the bet was. He looked at Guo Xiaoding, who was standing on the city wall in the distance, not caring about life and death, and waved his hand violently.

"All troops, attack! Raze Yancheng to the ground!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Go ahead, slaughter all the two-legged sheep of the Imperial Shang Dynasty!"

"Conquer Yancheng and aim at Di Shang!"

As Cheng Youwei's words fell, 50,000 advance troops began to surround Yancheng from all directions. This group of troops slowly moved towards Yancheng. As they moved, giant wild beasts appeared and attacked Yancheng.

On the ground, several engineering machines rose out of thin air, but compared with the giant beasts, the shock brought by these engineering machines was too weak.

White wolf, wild fox, black bear, goshawk.
Ballista, battering ram, ladder.
All kinds of giant beasts and all kinds of Mohist mechanical devices that appeared out of thin air were coming towards Yancheng in a large number. Along with these, there came a military formation with neat formations and phantoms.

"This, this, this, is this the siege in the fantasy world? Holy shit, this is so shocking, so spectacular!"

"What kind of animal alliance is this? No wonder they are called barbarians. They are all beasts!"

"Catapults, battering rams, and ladders, why do they give people such a low-level feeling? Are the mechanical devices of the Mohist school so lame?"

"Is it possible that they haven't learned the mechanical arts of the Mohist school enough? I've seen them in the [Book Collection Pavilion]. Each Mohist mechanical art is more brutal than the other. Something like [Mo Attack·Tianxiao] is not comparable to the garbage on the other side."

"They are barbarians, brother. Those giant beasts are their main force. The siege engines are just to make up the numbers!"

The terrifying enemies and various giant beasts shocked the players in Yancheng. Watching the siege in the fantasy world at such a close distance was simply too shocking.

“It’s finally started, it’s finally started!”

“Even though I feel like a moth flying into a flame, brothers, let’s fight, fight!”

"I'll go first. Killing one won't hurt me, killing two will break even, and killing three will make me a huge profit!"

On the city wall, seeing the enemy attacking in an overwhelming force, He Ao did not feel any fear. Instead, he was the first to jump down from the city wall, holding two huge wooden boxes.

As He Ao landed, two huge wooden boxes exploded instantly, and thousands of wooden birds slowly flew up from the boxes and hovered above He Ao's head.

Such terrifying and dense wooden birds really shocked the players on the scene. The densely packed wooden birds suspended in the air made He Ao, who was standing under the wooden birds, feel like he was a one-man army!

"Do you know what Mohism is?"

"Do you know what Mohist mechanical arts are?"

“A single tree makes a house, and a pile of sand makes a tower!”

As soon as He Ao finished speaking, the exploded wooden boxes were quickly reassembled into a Mohist mechanical device at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This Mohist mechanical device is composed of twelve tubes combined together. At first glance, it looks very much like a Gatling gun. All the players on the city wall looked at He Ao and the two "Gatling guns" composed of two huge wooden boxes, and they were all stunned.

"No, fuck, what did I see?"

"Wait, didn't we agree on the Mo family? Why did a Gatling gun suddenly appear?"

"I can accept the wooden bird. This thing does look like a Mohist, but what the hell is a Gatling gun? You are a Mohist, a Mohist, how did you become a mechanical master?"

"Shit, I actually saw a Gatling gun emitting blue flames!"

"There's nothing wrong with the Mohists creating modern weapons. Aren't mechanical engineering and modern machinery the same thing? Don't they both rely on external objects to strengthen themselves?

In the ancient fantasy-themed games, this group of people is called Mohist School, and the things they created are called Mohist Mechanical Techniques.

In the present, they are called weapons experts, and the things they make are called missiles and tanks. In the future, they should be called mechanics, and the things they make should be mechas and aerospace battleships! "

"Although, it's still awkward. Damn, I'm going to stop talking nonsense and get on with A!"

[Building a House from a Single Tree] and [Building a Tower from Sand] are two extremely crucial magical powers in Mohism. They can only be learned after one has reached the realm of self-cultivation.

[A House Built from a Single Tree] is a unique Mohist technique. It can use spiritual energy to optimize and improve a Mohist mechanical technique, compressing it into a mini version of the Mohist mechanical technique, which is easy to carry!

Carrying a mini version of Mohist mechanical engineering, after a Mohist disciple performs [A House Built from One Log], the mini version of Mohist mechanical engineering can be quickly transformed into a normal-sized Mohist mechanical engineering.

He Ao's [Mo Gong·Beehive] was put into a wooden box using [A Single Log Builds a House].

The effect of [Gathering Sands into a Tower] is rapid assembly and construction. Only some raw materials are needed, and Mohist disciples can quickly create Mohist mechanical devices!
The two Mohist mechanical devices similar to Gatling guns were created by the magical power of [Gathering Sand into a Tower]. The ability and endurance of these quickly created Mohist mechanical devices were naturally not as good as those created with meticulous craftsmanship, but they were faster!
"I am an army of one man!"

"Kill, kill, kill, kill!"

He Ao worked day and night to make thousands of wooden birds after he was promoted to the Self-cultivation Realm. When he was in the Study Realm, it took a lot of time to make a wooden bird, but when he reached the Self-cultivation Realm, He Ao could produce wooden birds in batches!
Thousands of wooden birds circled in the air and launched suicidal attacks on the oncoming enemies. Beside them, two Gatling-like weapons were facing the enemies in front of them, waiting for them to approach.

Two weapons similar to "Gatling" were named [Mo Gong·Swirl] by He Ao.

"Xuan" means rotation, and "liu" means the torrent of spiritual energy. [Mo Gong·Xuan Liu] can compress He Ao's spiritual energy into arrows and shoot them to the opposite side!

"Take my arrow!"

"Hit the target from a hundred paces away!"

On the watchtower, Zheng Sanshui, imitating Guo Xiaoding, was waiting for the enemy to approach. When the first enemy rushed into his shooting range, he suddenly shot the strongest arrow of his life.

The arrow was like a stream of light, cutting through space and accurately hitting the first enemy that rushed over.

However, the enemy who was shot by Zheng Sanshui had ripples all over his body, and the spiritual arrow was actually bounced off.

Such a scene made Zheng Sanshui dumbfounded. What kind of magical power was this that could actually deflect his arrow!

What a slap in the face!

I don’t want to play anymore. I want to go home!
Ripples covered the soldiers in the front. Not only did the ripples deflect Zheng Sanshui's attack, but they also partially deflected He Ao's [Mo Gong·Hummingbird] suicide bombing attack.

"The enemy's defense? It's invincible!"

"Damn, Boss Zheng's and Boss He's attacks are useless. They can't hurt the opponent!"

"The gap between us and the enemy is so huge? Why can't we break through the defense?"

The players who were still watching the battle on the city wall couldn't help but feel annoyed when they saw this scene.

What players fear most is not how strong the enemy is, but the enemy's mechanism.

The enemy is invincible, untargetable, and reflects all damage. Even if the players have various means, they cannot do anything to the enemy.

And now, there is a mechanism to rebound all damage done by enemies attacking the city!

"But you think you can resist the soldiers of Yancheng with such childish tricks?"

"Soldiers of Yancheng, listen to my orders!"

"All troops attack, annihilate the enemy!"

"The soldiers of Yancheng will die on the way to the charge!"

Guo Xiaoding's voice suddenly rang in the ears of all the players. As his words fell, a huge black bird chirped, flew up from Yancheng, and circled above Yancheng.

The military soul of Guo Xiaoding who governs the country, the black bird of the Imperial Shang Dynasty!
The mysterious bird of destiny descends and gives birth to Shang!
Military spirit is the most critical link for the Qi Family Realm to enter the Governing Country Realm. Only by condensing the military spirit can one be qualified to enter the Governing Country Realm.

The military soul, the black bird, hovered over Yancheng, and its terrifying spiritual energy was suddenly infused into the bodies of all the players. Every player's vision suddenly became blurred. They seemed to see the scene of Guo Xiaoding being rewarded by the emperor of the Imperial Shang Dynasty. They also seemed to see the scene of Guo Xiaoding leading his army to defeat the barbarians in the northern border of Dapo.

The military spirit can gather the strength of the soldiers and be used by the commander.

It can also give soldiers a special [soul].

The [soul] that Guo Xiaoding can give is [corpse wrapping].

Soldiers who fight on the battlefield will always end up as [corpses wrapped in a shroud].

Back then, Guo Xiaoding followed the commander Cheng Li to fight in the northern border. He had no idea how many of his comrades had died in the northern border and were buried in the yellow sand.

Of the 30,000 Zhenbei Army soldiers, there are only about 40 left. The fate of every Zhenbei Army soldier is to die on the battlefield!
The military soul gives the player [soul]. Players who are given the [corpse shroud] will not only not be afraid of the enemy or feel fear in battle, but they will also master a magical power to put themselves in danger.

The power unleashed by a dying person is extremely terrifying and terrible.

Under the effect of [Corpse Shroud], the player's last blow before death can unleash several times, or even dozens of times, the power.

The enormous force enhanced every player. Zheng Sanshui, an archer, spat out a mouthful of blood under the blessing of this power, and used all his strength to pull the bow again.

All the spiritual energy in his body poured madly into the spiritual energy arrow. His hands, which were drawing the bow, were already covered in blood, and the essence and blood in his body were constantly being absorbed by the spiritual energy bow and arrow.

"No one will survive under the arrows!"

Zheng Sanshui only felt that at this moment, he had endless strength all over his body. He pulled the bow with all his strength and performed [Shooting the Halberd at the Gate] again.

The arrow seemed to teleport and appeared a kilometer away in an instant. Unlike the previous arrow that was bounced away, this arrow not only pierced the enemy, but also pierced through the five or six people behind him!
"died."

Zheng Sanshui grinned and slowly fell to the ground. After shooting the arrow, he also fell in a pool of blood.

Once the military soul appeared, the players' strength increased several times, and the power they burst out before death directly blocked the attack of the barbarian army.

“It’s a last gasp!”

"Guo Xiaoding has regained his vitality!"

In the distance, the three governors who saw this scene looked very calm. If you look closely, you can even see that the three of them seemed to be slightly relieved! (End of this chapter)
