Daqin Engineering Corps

However, the most deadly thing is that Ying Zheng did not die.

Wei Wang pretended that Ying Zheng was not dead...

Not only did he not die, but he also personally conquered the country of Wei, and he was dumbfounded at the first moment.

Is this being used as a knife by that kid Ji Dan?

Isn't this setting yourself on fire?

The first to bear the brunt is Wei Guo!

Fortunately, Wei Guo just dispatched troops and hasn't really started a war...

So the king of Wei changed his mind and immediately sent envoys to Yingzheng to ask for his release.

Chapter 1 Bridge Repair

Ying Zheng's appearance scared Wei Guo out of He Zong.

Originally, Chu State only wanted to fish in troubled waters to take advantage of the opportunity, but now knowing that Ying Zheng is not dead, he naturally wouldn't venture into the muddy waters.

So He Zong immediately left only the Yan and Dai armies.

This time everyone was dumbfounded.

Yan Wangxi was stunned for a while, then beat his chest and stamped his feet and cursed:

"I'm going to be killed by this scoundrel this time!"

"He also said that Yingzheng must die, and now Yingzheng is not only not dead, but also personally marching..."

"With the brutality of Yingzheng, how could he let Yan go?"

"Yan Kingdom's century-old foundation will be destroyed because of him!"

When Ji Dan heard the news, he called it impossible.

"It must be the Qin people who tricked me into retreating with the fake Yingzheng!"

"Don't wait for me to be fooled, this is the time to make contributions!"

……

It is quite reasonable for Ji Dan to guess like this, because it is well known that Ying Zheng has a double.

Who can guarantee that it wasn't Qin Guo who carried out the substitute to "use it" in order to understand the danger of the three counties?

However, the facts gave Ji Dan a slap in the face...

Because Wang Jian sent Ji Dan a big gift:

Dozens of wooden boxes, each containing a human head.

It goes without saying that it is the assassin Jing Ke and his party.

At the same time, Wang Jian also told Ji Dan a news that almost made him die from anger:

"The assassins were spotted when they were in Handan, and they have been in the prison in Handan all this time."

"You have hit the king's plan."

Ji Dan was so angry that he vomited blood and yelled, and fainted on the spot.

As a result, the morale of the Yan and Dai coalition forces was greatly reduced on the spot, and they had no intention of fighting.

On the contrary, Qin Jun's morale was greatly improved, and the panic before it changed.

Morale is a strange thing, especially during the period of cold weapon warfare. Although it is invisible and intangible, it really exists.

For example, the two armies facing each other in the three counties at this time have no difference in terms of strength or even food.

If there is any difference, the withdrawal of Wei State made the Qin army less pressure.

But it is still Yan and Dai's 28 against the Qin army's 16, and the Qin army is still short of food.

However, with the morale rising and falling, the battle has not yet officially started, but the victory and defeat have already been divided.

The fastest runner is Yan Wangxi.

When the Qin army was still reorganizing the army outside the city, it discovered that the flags of the Yan army were in disarray and there was a fire in the camp...

Yan Wangxi was quite sensible, knowing that he had to burn the food and grass before leaving.

But Qin Shi didn't have such things as kerosene, and to burn grain and grass, he just gathered the grain carts into a pile and lit a fire.

Wang Jian immediately ordered the Qin army to attack, and then successfully extinguished the fire before it spread and took back a large amount of rations.

Ji Dan woke up and heard that Yan Wangxi had withdrawn, so he could only wave his hand weakly and said:

"The situation is over, let's withdraw!"

Zhao Jia was the last to withdraw his army, but because Zhao Jia had prepared before and was an elite soldier from the North, he retreated methodically and protected his food and grass along the way.

The Qin army was led by Wang Jian in the three counties, and its generals Xin Sheng and Yang Duanhe pursued the two armies of the Yan Dynasty respectively.

Therefore, Shen Bing had to embark on the road of marching again.

And engineers like Shen Bing are still ahead...

For a time, Shen Bing didn't understand, what if the enemy suddenly returned to the carbine?

It was later realized that this was basically redundant for Yan Jun.

The reason why the engineers were placed in front of the troops was that the Yan army would often burn down the bridges along the way in order to prevent the Qin army from pursuing troops.

So the engineers will build roads and bridges ahead.

Marching is nothing to Shen Bing... At this time, Shen Bing is equipped with a carriage and a coachman. As soon as he sits in the cart, the coachman will drive forward slowly. There are a few personal guards around the cart, which is quite A bit like an official.

But building bridges is a hassle.

When the troops marched until evening, they were blocked by a river.

Chen Kui gave an order:

"The gunner built the bridge overnight!"

The gunners couldn't help complaining.

At this time, it was supposed to be the time to bury the pot for cooking, and the troops had been so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs after a day of marching, but they didn't want to build a bridge at this time.

But this is also duty-bound.

Because whether the troops can move forward or catch up with the enemy in time depends on the speed of the bridge.

Shen Bing took Cang and Hui to check the situation first, and he couldn't help but gasped after seeing it.

In front of him was a large river dozens of steps wide, on which there used to be a wooden bridge, but the wooden bridge was completely demolished by the Yan army, and even the wooden stakes that had been driven into the river were uprooted.

Hui looked at the bare but a few stumps floating on the surface of the river and said:

"Yan Jun spent some effort."

"Those stakes must have been pulled up by them with ropes and horsepower!"

As soon as Shen Bing heard it, he understood that Yan Jun was tearing down one section and pulling out another.

As long as the ropes are long enough, and then tied to the opposite side of the wooden stakes, and then the horse is pulled vigorously... those wooden stakes will be pulled up one by one.

Usually the demolition of bridges is not so thorough, it is more of a fire.

But burning the bridge will inevitably leave wooden piles, and the pursuers will soon be able to build a new bridge on the wooden piles.

Obviously, Yan Jun was trying to buy time.

Or it can also be said that they have taken a breath of relief after escaping here.

It was only later that Shen Bing found out that this was due to the fact that Yan State had more cavalry because it was facing the Huns to the north like Zhao State.

On the other hand, the Yan army began to demolish the bridge without waiting for the follow-up infantry to cross the river.

As a result, many Yan soldiers had to throw away their armor and swim across the river, and those who couldn't swim could only hide in a dense forest and ask for luck.

At this time, Yang Duanhe rushed over from one side...

Yang Duanhe personally led the cavalry to pursue the enemy at the forefront, but at this time they were blocked by the river and could not move forward.

Yang Duanhe shouted excitedly when he saw Shen Bing:

"The engineer came just in time, but how long does it take to build the bridge and cross the river?"

Shen Bing is not an expert in this matter, so he can only turn his eyes to Hui who is beside him.

Hui cupped his hands and replied:

"General, we need to find out the depth of the river when logging and laying piles."

"The subordinate thought it would take at least two days!"

……

Before Hui could finish speaking, Yang Duanhe interrupted:

"Two days, two days later, the Yan army has already fled back to the city!"

Then Yang Duanhe frowned again and said:

"The engineers don't know that the Yan army and the Dai army are resting a few miles away from the north bank at this time."

"There is still a large amount of food and grass concentrated on the north bank."

"If it takes two days to build the bridge, that batch of grain..."

It turned out that the grain transportation brigade of the Yan Army just arrived here to get the news of the retreat ahead.

Because they did not receive the order to retreat, those in front did not dare to retreat, and the rear continued to squeeze in, and soon a large number gathered.

What Qin Jun lacked was food and grass.

It can almost be said that if there is food and grass, you can pursue it. If there is no food and grass, even if you let go of the city gate and let the Qin army fight... Although the Qin army is brave, it can't attack the city hungry.

Therefore, the most important thing right now is not to let this batch of food go back to the city.

After thinking about it, Yang Duanhe asked again:

"It's best, let our army cross the river tonight."

"In this way, they can be caught off guard at dawn tomorrow!"

Chapter 1 Ten Missions

Difficult to answer:

"General, I have to build a wooden bridge spanning more than fifty steps in one night, I'm afraid..."

Chen Wei, who was listening on the sidelines, felt that his chance had come.

Originally, Yang Duanhe should have asked him about this miser rather than Shen Bing.

Chen Kui was quite unhappy about this:

Shen Bing is just a gunner and engineer, and he only has more than a hundred craftsmen, so how can he be a coward who leads more than [-] people?

Ever since Shen Bing made the waterwheel and turned it over, the general didn't pay attention to Chen Wei, a coward.

However, how dare he, Chen Wei, question Yang Duanhe?

So I can only wait by the side and dare not make a sound.

Seeing that Shen Bing and Hui had nothing to do with building the bridge, they rolled their eyes and interjected:

"General, my subordinates have a method to build a wooden bridge overnight!"

Yang Duanhe turned his head and saw that it was Chen Wei, and couldn't help frowning.

He always remembered Chen Wei in his heart, but because of Wang Jian's face, he didn't do anything for a while, so of course he wouldn't give Chen Wei a good face at this time.

So he asked coldly:

"Is there any way to say it!"
