Daqin Engineering Corps

"What's the use of talking so much?"

"If the captain waits for me to do something else, wouldn't it be fine to find trouble?"

……

Shen Bing waited quietly for Xun to finish speaking, and then asked a question:

"Master, how far do you think it takes to go downhill after going up the steep slope?"

After thinking about it, he replied:

"About three to five miles!"

"Master has walked this road before, and I still have a vague impression of it!"

"Why ask this?"

Shen Bing asked again:

"you say……"

"Do they know that the rope on the wheel is only suitable for uphill and not for downhill?"

Xun caressed his goatee, and answered slowly:

"This twine is all your idea!"

"Others are as unclear as paste."

"If you don't tell, how will others know..."

Speaking of this, Xun suddenly seemed to remember something, and stood up with a "teng" sound as if being pricked by a needle.

"what?"

"What did you say?"

"The hemp rope is not suitable for downhill?"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You, you, you have caused another big disaster this time!"

"That's the general's daughter, lieutenant lieutenant!"

Chapter 12 身卑力微

Shen Bing raised his chest.

"I don't care what general's daughter she is!"

"It doesn't matter what lieutenant she is!"

"Anyway, it's not okay to offend the master!"

"If you don't show her some color, I can't swallow this breath!"

Xun collapsed in an instant, and there was a strange look in Shen Bing's eyes.

Thinking of Shen Bing saving his own life regardless of his own safety, Xun couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"It's better to be this apprentice!"

"It's not in vain for the cultivation of the past few years!"

"I was actually upset because of his outstanding performance just now..."

"So ashamed! Ashamed!"

Looking at this expression, in Shen Bing's eyes, it was tricky.

In fact, Shen Bing didn't do it all out of venting his anger.

Shen Bing knew very well that it was common for a school captain to whip a soldier a few times in this era.

Half-feudal and half-slavery.

It's not bad if you don't kill yourself.

Shen Bing couldn't bear the feeling that his life was in the hands of others.

If he lived in such a humble way, Shen Bing didn't even know if he could be considered alive.

Therefore, what Shen Bing did was not so much a prank or venting his anger, but a struggle of a modern person.

After hesitating for a while, Xun asked, "If the captain is to blame..."

Shen Bing looked around, interrupted Xun, and whispered:

"Only the master and I know about this matter!"

"Let's not say that I have already cleared the responsibility relationship with the captain!"

"Even if the captain blames it, I'll just say that I don't know about the downhill!"

"What can the captain do to me?"

After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "This is the only way to do it!"

On the other side, Yang Ting and his party haven't realized the danger yet.

Liu Xu rode up to Yang Ting from behind and reported excitedly.

"Captain, this method really works!"

"The carriage is much more stable on flat ground than usual!"

"That gentleman really has some skills."

"Just adding a few lengths of twine makes all the difference!"

This catkin is Yang Ting's maid, and also Yang Ting's partner in martial arts.

After Yang Ting took an important position in the army, Liu Xu naturally became her right-hand man.

Yang Ting just hummed.

"It's just some tricks and tricks!"

"We must not just think of tricks when we are marching and fighting!"

"On the battlefield, real knives and real guns are still used!"

"If the gentleman is facing the enemy army, he is afraid that he will lose his life with a single blow!"

Liu Xu stuck out her tongue and replied:

"What the captain said is true!"

"Subordinates keep this in mind!"

At this time, there was a sudden exclamation from the front.

Yang Ting frowned, secretly said badly, could it be that the enemy set up an ambush?

She didn't think much about it, she took Liu Xu and pulled a group of people and hurried forward.

When they rushed to the front, they found that several carriages couldn't help but rush down when they were going downhill.

Looking forward again, Yang Ting couldn't help being shocked.

The downhill section was a mile long, and it would be strange if the carriage was allowed to go downhill without crashing and killing people.

Yang Ting is also worthy of being a general.

She immediately issued two orders:

"Stop the carriage behind!"

"Get off your horse and help!"

The female soldiers responded with a "promise" and got off their horses one after another to pull the carriage, and Yang Ting was no exception.

However, the road was slippery in rainy days. Although the strength of the female soldiers was comparable after training, they had no focus on their feet.

Although the carriage slowed down, it still led the female soldiers downhill.

And then faster and faster, faster and faster...

With a final exclamation, the carriage stopped and rushed to the side of the road when turning the corner.

For a while, people turned over the arrow wooden box and spilled it all over the ground.

Fortunately, there was a muddy beach on the side of the road to act as a buffer, and there were no serious problems except for a few minor injuries.

Yang Ting got up from the muddy water in embarrassment, and shouted angrily:

"what happened?"

"Who drove the car?"

A female soldier who was also covered in mud hurriedly stepped forward and timidly reported:

"Captain!"

"I'm waiting to see that this carriage can go uphill and on flat ground very smoothly after being tied with hemp rope!"

"The same goes for going downhill!"

"That's why we didn't arrange more manpower!"

"In no mood……"

Yang Ting said angrily:

"How can there be so many people who don't want to?"

"It's not the first time for you to transport supplies, how can you not know how to arrange more people for the downhill?"

The female soldier was too frightened to answer half a word.

When Yang Ting thought about it, she realized that she hadn't actually realized this.

This is actually inertial thinking. It is taken for granted that uphill and flat ground are fine, so downhill can be as smooth as usual.

Who would have thought that this is not the case.

Thinking of the lot of long-winded words from the official before leaving, Yang Ting slammed her fist on the carriage.

"No reason!"

"The gentleman clearly knew about this change, but deliberately didn't remind him!"

"Come on, go and bring that guy up to me!"

A few female soldiers responded with a "promise" and were about to arrest them, but they were stopped by Liu Xu.

"Captain!"

"That gentleman speaks first, and after the carriage goes up the steep slope, he has nothing to do with him!"

"What's more, if he insists on not knowing."

"In what name can we punish him?"

Yang Ting couldn't help being taken aback when she heard the words.

After the reform of Shang Yang in Qin State, although the identity and status of the lower class people are still very low.

But everything is the law.

For example, disobeying military orders, or delaying the construction period, etc. can be punished.

But it is difficult to convict someone like Yang Ting for an unfounded guess.

It's not that it can't be done, but it will attract criticism and even affect the morale of the army.

Yang Ting, who was born in a general family, had never been so angry, she only hated her teeth clenched and her eyes showing a fierce look.

But after thinking about it again and again, she finally said helplessly:

"Let's settle the score with him later!"

"Forgive him for not being able to escape my palm!"
