Enfeoffed as Da Shuzhang! The Secret Great Dao, Steam Engine!

Some well-informed generals analyzed the situation: "The distance from Yingchuan to Handan is over a thousand miles; to penetrate deep into enemy territory with a lone army while maintaining supply lines is the first miracle.

Ye County is the southern gateway to Handan, defended by treacherous terrain and five thousand Zhao troops, yet it was taken in a single battle—this is the second miracle.

The Mohist Mechanism City relies on complex contraptions for defense, impossible to breach by human force alone, yet Zhao Cheng easily dismantled its mechanisms—this is the third miracle!

With these three miracles combined, such a campaign, even if Sun Wu or Wu Qi were reborn, could not have surpassed it!"

The Grand Secretary then spoke: "According to Qin law, the one who breaches a city claims the highest merit, and those who capture a king and his royal clan are ranked in the category of 'State Annihilation.'

This merit already exceeds the standard promotion from Shangzao to Da Liangzao; if we are to reward him according to his achievements, I fear we must make an exception!"

A young court official, blood boiling with excitement, exclaimed, "The Blood-Clad Army numbers only twenty thousand! Yet they were so unstoppable, striking directly at Handan!"
