e red-clothed one, and they both ran quickly to the stern of the ship. He was experienced, and now he had to avoid the Ice Dragon's head. Although Youdu Ghosts were immune to physical damage, if they...These few days, Lu Cheng was also waiting.

He didn't put much effort into obtaining the Mojia機關術, and it wasn't the original version, but a revised version by Zi after the Second Hundred Schools of Thought Contention.

The design philosophy of Mojia's mechanisms has always been defense-oriented. After thirty days, at Xianyang Palace, he had to come up with something. He and the people of Mojia have been researching for these past few days.

After their defeat at the Jiuyuan fortress, the Xiongnu no longer organized large-scale attacks but instead divided into smaller groups to harass Jiuyuan County. Most of the residents of Jiuyuan had already been relocated to the fortresses.

Back to that familiar Xiongnu.

This, on the contrary, eased the Qin army's worries.

This tactic originated from Li Mu, a renowned general of Zhao State who fought against the Xiongnu.

The region of Yanmen had previously been harassed by the Xiongnu, leaving them exhausted and unable to farm or graze. However, after Li Mu arrived, he insisted on setting up watchtowers. When the Xiongnu attacked, they immediately relied on their fortified cities to defend themselves, not giving the Xiongnu even a chance.

Now Jiuyuan is also employing this strategy. With the heavy rain in the rear having subsided, a constant flow of supplies from the three major granaries arrives by carts and boats, ensuring Jiuyuan's safety.

The Qin army has already begun to stockpile supplies at the Jiuyuan Fortress, this is for Meng Tian's army's logistical support.

Before any troops move, provisions must be secured. The Cloud Citadel is safe and sound, but Jiuyuan County has been constantly harassed. Meng Tian's army decided to head directly to Jiuyuan Fort.

Recently, there has been a constant flow of traffic. As Sun Tzu said in The Art of War...

A thousand miles of grain, then the expenses inside and outside, the use for guests, the materials for glue and paint, the offerings of chariots and horses, daily expenditure of thousands of gold to feed an enemy one hour, when I have twenty hours.

Such a long distance, the grain transport efficiency is less than 5%.

This is a massive army of 300,000 men.

Lu Cheng couldn't help but sigh, "This must consume a huge amount of national power."

However, I have to say that the spells, spiritual energy, and planting techniques really helped a lot.

Lu Cheng, the head of the Mohist clan and concurrently the commander of the water army and minister of logistics, roughly knew that the Qin army's supply was currently at a ratio of ten stones delivered for one stone. This is a very good statistic.

Qin Huang ordered the grain from Taicang to be transported. It could ensure that Meng Tian's 300,000 army fought until autumn of the next year.

Actually, Lu Cheng could completely delegate these tasks to others, but he wanted to learn them firsthand.

After all, it's not easy to feed so many troops when a large army is on campaign. The large-scale battles launched by the Qin Dynasty were almost always well-supplied.

Three days later, it was the day when Lu Cheng's nine stars gathered their spirits. Meng Tian's army arrived.

To Lu Cheng's surprise, Meng Tian found him first.

Two people stood on the platform, the city bustling below.

300,000 Qin troops, this is what would become the Great Wall Army.

The main force entered Jiuyuan Fortress first, with 50,000 mixed in, 30,000 heavy cavalry, and 20,000 machine gunners. These central army's equipment was more sophisticated than the frontier army,

Behind them are 200,000 auxiliary troops, they are more miscellaneous, mainly carrying mechanized equipment and ammunition.

Meng Tian was wearing the armor of a Qin general, looking extremely powerful.

General Lu, I have something to ask you today.

"General Meng, with the enemy at our doorstep, we all stand united. If you have anything to say, please speak freely," Lu Cheng replied.

"Well, about the power of the Moon Goddess, I'm not sure. But I believe that the Xiongnu have lost their ability to besiege cities, which is why they are raiding everywhere. The army needs two days of rest before setting off again. I plan to attack from the Yulin direction and, with lightning speed, drive the Xiongnu out of the plains." Meng Tian took out a map from the Qin Dynasty and looked at Lu Chengdao: "What do you think Is this a good move"

Lu Cheng was startled. 300,000 troops, a two-day rest and then directly attack Blitzkrieg

"So fast" Lu Cheng thought, "What if this is a scheme by the Moon God and the Xiongnu They intentionally lured the main force out of the city, while ambushing troops near Yinshan Mountain."

"We're not going to Yinshan, we're going here," Meng Tian pointed to the south of the Hetao Plain on the map. "The raiding tactics are something the Xiongnu always use. If we drag this out, our 300,000 troops stationed at Jiuyuan will be worn down in the end." Meng Tian shook his head.

"General Meng Tian, I am in charge of logistics. Recently, we have stocked up the granaries with enough provisions to last until autumn," Lu Cheng frowned, "There's no need to be so anxious."

"General Lu, this is the reason I sought you out. I want to seize control of the southern part of Hetao during the spring planting season. We will develop fertile farmland there, shift from pastoralism to agriculture, and have our army supported by fields. By autumn, our troops will be self-sufficient and no longer need long-distance supply lines. We only need Your Majesty to dispatch manpower from the north."

A campaign with 300,000 troops put a heavy strain on the nation's resources. To ensure supply lines, the Qin Dynasty struggled immensely. This campaign nearly emptied three granaries, and transporting grain over thousands of miles resulted in constant losses.

I have to say, Meng Tian's idea is very visionary.

With a thunderous strike, the Han army captured the Xiongnu's pastureland. The army could then become self-sufficient. In this way, an army of 300,000 could endure for a long time.

In that case, by simply fortifying their position, the Qin army would deprive the Xiongnu of a vast expanse of grazing land while simultaneously securing a plentiful supply of grain for themselves. With the Xiongnu losing resources and the Qin army gaining them, Meng Tian leading an army of 300,000 men would certainly be able to defeat the Yue Shen Xiongnu.

"General Meng, I feel fine, but in twenty-three days, I will be going to Xiamyang for important business. I wonder if there is anything I can help you with" Lu Cheng pondered for a moment, he might be too busy.

At either end of the battlefield, he might have to choose a side to complete his task. He could either help Meng Tian conquer southern Hexi, or return to Xianyang to discuss weapons matters.

"General Lu, I know you're also in charge of the engineering corps, so you must be very busy. I have a question for you. You managed to activate the Dharma Tower despite the shortage of Spirit Jade and even repelled the Xiongnu attack. You must know a lot about the Dharma Tower. If possible, could you see if there's a way for the Dharma Tower to also assist my expeditionary army over these next twenty days"

When Meng Tian learned of Lu Cheng's actions that day, he decided to talk to him. After all, Lu Cheng had not only activated the Fata but also failed to destroy it. The materials in the rear were still unused. If Lu Cheng could truly allow the Fata to assist the expeditionary army, then the Qin army, with 300,000 Spirit Nets' blessings, would definitely be able to break through the southern pastures of Hetao in one fell swoop.

And with Fata present, it would be safe to guard there and serve as a deterrent, preventing the Huns from regaining control.

How could he possibly know that Lu Cheng was using borrowed power from Heavenly Tribulation

Lu Cheng pondered.

The army marched out, but with no destination in mind. The Fataga is limited in range, so it's estimated that only mobile Fataga carriages can be built.

This is a concept I discussed with the Mek family these past few days, regarding one of the ideas for the God-slaying weapon. Could we place an "artificial moon" on a mobile mechanical platform, similar to a movable Nine Origins Central Dharma Pagoda We could then give it a legendary background, allowing it to rival the Moon Goddess and cast a wide-reaching spiritual net, empowering everyone to achieve their full potential.
