Chapter 127 An unexpected encounter
A few days later, early in the morning.

Boom!

In order to facilitate siege and drilling, the Qin army brought many devices developed by Gongshujia in addition to new horse equipment. Among them, there was a ground-breaking device!
Po Tu San Lang, his whole body is made up of eight modules made of fine steel, like a huge mechanical snake. The winter morning is not sunny and windy, and can only be described in four words: the sky is hazy. Under the control of Gong Shujia's disciples accompanying the army, Po Tu San Lang is like a prehistoric alien, shaking his snake body in front of the Qin army camp.

With a loud roar, the frozen soil was blown into the air, and a trench more than one foot deep soon appeared on the originally flat surface.

"Brothers, come on!"

As Po Tu San Lang dug out the outline of a ditch on the surface, a team of about a hundred Qin soldiers, holding shovels, pickaxes and other tools, rushed out of the barracks, waving their tools, and started moving around in the ditch, digging deep into the earth along the ditch dug by Po Tu San Lang.

There was also a team of Qin soldiers who loaded the excavated soil and snow onto small carts and transported them to a distant place.

"Brothers, move out!"

In the direction of the military camp, the Qin army soldiers were digging a ditch that was several feet deep and ten feet wide across the front of the camp. On the other side, a dozen miles away from the camp, there was a solitary mountain covered with snow, standing alone on the surface of the ground. Tianxuan led hundreds of Qin soldiers and stood on the top of the solitary mountain.

Except for Tianxuan, the commander, all the other Qin soldiers were wearing armor and masks to cover their faces. They formed groups of two, each holding a mechanical bat. In addition to weapons such as swords, shields, etc., each person also tied a copper gong, a leather drum, and other things around his waist that shouldn't have appeared.

Looking down from a high place, Tianxuan added a bit of his power to his eyes, looked into the distance at the military camp, and saw the ant-like person. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a cold and cold smile without any warmth, and he called to the subordinates behind him.

tread!tread!tread!
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Xuan, who had played hang gliding in his previous life and had been training urgently under the guidance of Gong Shujia's disciples who were accompanying the army since he proposed that strategy to Wang Jian, held the joystick of the mechanical bat tightly in his right hand and trotted on the top of the mountain. After a dozen steps, a gust of wind acted on the mechanical bat.

Whoosh!
Holding the mechanical bat, Tianxuan soared from the top of the mountain like an ancient fierce bird living in the deep mountains and old forests. The whistling wind acted on the mechanical bat, causing Tianxuan and the mechanical bat to soar in the sky and bow down to the earth. Everything on the earth gradually became smaller.

In an instant, a hint of joy rose from Tianxuan's heart.

【It’s been a long time since I last flew! 】

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Seeing this, hundreds of Qin soldiers who were carrying out this mission with Tianxuan rushed to run, following Tianxuan's steps and swept away. Strong winds blessed the mechanical bats, turning the hundred mechanical bats into a black cloud covering the sky, sweeping towards the valley where the Yan army was stationed.

Hundreds of elite Qin soldiers, led by Tianxuan, swept towards the valley where the Yan soldiers were stationed. In this era, there would naturally be no air crashes. In addition, with the ice and snow, most birds had migrated to the warm south for the winter. The distance of more than ten miles was only a blink of an eye.

Just when Tianxuan was about to call on all the soldiers to follow him down the sky, he suddenly noticed something strange out of the corner of his eye.

Several mechanical wooden kites, controlled by Mo Xia in black, were gliding in the sky. The direction they were heading to was exactly the valley where the Yan soldiers were stationed.

The leader was a man dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat. Although his real face could not be seen, he exuded a lonely and melancholy temperament. In his hand was a long sword that was as black as ink, without a blade or edge, and as flat as a foot.

'Like a sword, but not an attacking sword, Mo Mei has no edge!' In the world today, there is only one sword with this shape, and it is the symbol of the leader of the Mohist School - Mo Mei. With Mo Mei in hand, the identity of this man is obvious. He is not someone else, but the new leader of the Mohist School - Yan Dan!
"This is probably what they call 'looking for something without any effort'!"

Although it was just a glimpse, Tianxuan still instantly determined where these people came from. After a slight sluggish look, a meaningful expression appeared on Tianxuan's face. Immediately, he ordered his subordinates as if nothing had happened: "Brothers, go down and execute the original plan!"

"Qin army?"

Yan Dan and the others were not blind. When Tian Xuan discovered them, the group of Mo Xia led by Yan Dan also discovered them. When Tian Xuan led his men to the two dangerous peaks that separated the valley, Yan Dan, who was operating the mechanical wooden kite - Suzaku, exclaimed.

"There is someone in the sky!"

"It's Qin Jun!"

"Fire arrows!"

……

After hearing Tianxuan's plan, Wang Jian did not organize troops to attack the valley. Hundreds of Yan soldiers, led by Da Tiechui, were still stationed here. The Qin army and the Mohist school arrived here almost at the same time. Led by Tianxuan, the Qin army descended to the top of the mountain.

The Yan soldiers, led by Da Tiechui, could vaguely make out the armor and uniforms on them. Although they didn't know what the Qin army was up to, they still stared at them with their eyes wide open, even to the point of tears.

Chi!Chi!Chi!
Following the call of the big iron hammer, nearly a hundred arrows shot out from the valley, shooting towards the Qin army that swept down from the sky. However, the mountain top was dozens of feet above the ground. In addition, the sky was filled with whistling cold winds, and the arrows fell to the ground before they could hit the target.

tread!tread!tread!
The Qin army led by Tianxuan reached the top of the mountain smoothly.

"Do it!"

The Mohists represented by Yan Dan, who had no idea what was going on in the Qin army's gourds, manipulated the Suzaku mechanism, perched in the sky, and looked down at them from above. Tianxuan glanced at the Mohist troops perched in the sky, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth. The Mohists advocated universal love and non-aggression, and the Suzaku mechanism was not offensive at all!
A long roar came from Tianxuan's mouth. After being infused with his profound cultivation in the Lihe Realm, it turned into a rolling sound wave and spread to the mountains on both sides.

Swish!
As Tianxuan shouted, the snow clinging to the mountain was moved and began to tremble. Flecks of snow fell from the mountain and landed on the ground.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
clang!clang!clang!
thump! thump! thump!
……

After receiving the order from the commander, the Qin army took out the musical instruments they carried with them: gongs, drums, etc. All the instruments that could make a loud noise were brought with them, and they started to beat them hard. The extremely harsh sound echoed on the top of the mountain. Most of these people had no knowledge of music and did not know how to play the instruments.

The sound it made was an extremely unpleasant noise. Even if a few cows were brought over, they would be scared to death. But this was exactly the effect Tianxuan wanted!
