In the twenty-sixth year of Dajin Longhui, the ninth prince Zhao Che failed to seize the throne and was poisoned. He was sent to Duanji Pass, a deserted place thousands of miles away, by an edict issued by the powerful Prime Minister Li Song.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and the imperial court had cut off their pay. There were only three thousand wounded old soldiers and dilapidated fortresses left in the pass. Outside the fortress, the Tianji tribe's one hundred thousand cavalry were watching eagerly. All the civil and military officials in the dynasty believed that he was bound to die.
But no one knows that Zhao Che, who was ridiculed as a "nerd" by the capital, studied hard in Wenyuan Pavilion for twelve years and is familiar with all practical knowledge of ancient and modern times!
"Tiangong Kaiwu" builds a coke blast furnace with a hundred feet, and melts ordinary iron into a hundred-refined refined steel knife;
"The New Book of Jixiao" lists the peerless mandarin duck battle formation, in which the old, weak and disabled soldiers attack the three thousand heavily armored iron pagoda head-on;
"Mozi City Guards" builds a quick-drying cement honeycomb fortress, causing fire and burning oil to burn thousands of wolf riders!
The Yuanmen beheaded the corrupt officials, opened the treasury to distribute the crops, and recruited the orphan girl Ji Wuxia from the generals and thousands of skilled craftsmen from the Momen...
While the dignitaries of the divine capital were still indulging in wine and debauchery, and the feudal lords were at war with each other, the black stone fire at Duanji Pass had lit up the sky for nine days. A steel army clad in heavy armor and armed with armor-piercing magic weapons boldly stepped out from the wind and snow!
Zhao Che pressed his hand on the three-foot green edge and looked down at the world:
"The world is not for one person, but for everyone in the world! If you can't defend the Jinjiang Mountains, I will defend them!!"
