Daqin Engineering Corps

"The river water is turbid and unclear. After several months of raging, the flooded area near Qiancheng must be full of mud."

"At that time, our army wants to attack, but I'm afraid there is no way to attack."

The silt is not a joke, it is like the bottom of the Bian River that has been drained.

At that time, the Qin army's infantry will attack in the mud below and the Chu army has built fortifications and defenses on the high ground. It is probably delusional for Ren Qin's army to have three heads and six arms to capture Qiancheng.

Shen Bing continued:

"And after spring comes the rainy season."

"At that time, the silt may not be dry for several months, but the Chu army can use the river to come and go freely..."

Yang Duanhe agreed again:

"In this way, our army will not be able to attack Chu."

"That guy Xiang Yan is really scheming."

Chapter 179 Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

Yang Duanhe is not stupid, he also knows the analysis:

If the purpose of the Chu army is to occupy the city for a long time to contain the Qin army, it is of course impossible to send only a thousand sailors.

If it is impossible to send only a thousand sailors but only send a thousand sailors...

It is obvious that this is the trick to lure the snake out of the hole.

Think about it further: which "snake" is this "snake"?

Of course it was Shen Bing's Black Armored Army.

Yang Duanhe secretly thought that it was dangerous, that Xiang Yan clearly wanted to take advantage of the lack of strength of the Black Armor Army not long after its formation, and kill it in the blue.

Fortunately, I was not in a hurry to send the Black Armor Army into battle.

Otherwise, he would fall into Xiang Yan's trick.

At that time, even if Shen Bing had to remind him... he, the coach, would lose face.

After thinking about it, Yang Duanhe frowned again and asked:

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be impossible for our army not to fight and let the Chu army occupy Qiancheng?"

This is indeed a problem.

It is one thing to be able to see through the enemy's plot, but another to be able to defeat the enemy.

Just like now, the Chu army is actually not at risk, and it is obvious that his navy is stronger.

What's embarrassing is Qin Jun. They don't know anything about Chu Shuijun.

Let the Heijia army go out to fight, maybe they will be surrounded and wiped out by the Chu water army.

If the Heijia army doesn't fight, then wait for the Chu army to consolidate the defense of the city and contain the Qin army.

So it's not right to fight, and it's not right not to fight.

After thinking about it, Shen Bing replied:

"General, let me prepare for another half a month."

"After half a month, the Black Armored Army will be able to fight!"

Yang Duanhe agreed without even thinking about it. Half a month is only more than ten days, and Qin Jun has nothing to wait for.

In fact, this situation should be more calm than anxious to fight.

Because the Chu army has already occupied Qiancheng and the water has not retreated, there is no need for the Qin army to rush.

On the contrary, Chu Jun, because he wanted to "lead the snake out of the hole", would look forward to it anxiously, and look forward to it...

Yang Duanhe is happy to play Xiang Yan like this.

Sure enough, Xiang Yan at this time had this mentality.

Xiang Yan is sitting in Caozhou. This battle is a matter of life and death for Chu, and Xiang Yan dare not ignore it.

As Xiang Yan and King Chu said before, Xiang Yan's defense starts from two aspects:

One is to deploy heavy troops in Chencheng and block the Bianhe River.

As long as Chencheng is not captured by the Qin army, the capital's longevity can be preserved.

On the other hand is Caozhou.

Caozhou guarded Chen Cheng's right wing.

If you want to protect Chencheng, you must defend Caozhou, and if you want to defend Caozhou, you must occupy Qiancheng.

Therefore, although the geographical location of Caozhou is not as important as that of Chencheng, its strategic position is higher than that of Chencheng.

So Xiang Yan only sent his generals to Chencheng to manage, while he brought [-] infantry and [-] sailors to Caozhou.

Fifty thousand infantry were used to defend Qiancheng.

The [-] navy is used to annihilate the Qin navy.

Xiang Yan knew that Qin Shuijun only had 3000 people.

Then he used a well-trained 3000 sailors to beat these [-] people, wouldn't it be easy to catch them?This is true even if the Qin Shui Army has warships on wheels.

Xiang Yan even allocated troops:

One thousand sailors occupied the city and attracted the Qin army, two thousand sailors ambushed downstream to cut off their escape route from Handan, and two thousand sailors ambush upstream to cut off their escape route from Liang.

Another [-] navy troops ambushed outside the city of Caozhou as the main force, waiting for the Qin navy army to attack head-on as soon as they arrived.

The other [-] sailors were deployed on the left and right sides as support.

Everything is ready and only owes Dongfeng, but if you wait and wait, you will not be able to wait for Qin Shuijun.

Xiang Yan was very depressed as she walked around in the commander's mansion:

What's the situation?

Doesn't Qin Shuijun have warships with wheels?

Isn't it advancing like flying?

Shouldn't Qin Shuijun be easily drawn out?

No wonder Xiang Yan thought so.

Xiang Yan did some research on Shen Bing, and found out that within half a year, Shen Bing was promoted from a gunner operator to a school lieutenant, and his title was also an official official.

If someone else has achieved this achievement in a short period of time and has also produced and equipped the "Warship on Wheels" that is as fast as flying, wouldn't he be supercilious? !

In addition, there is another such good bait in front of you: a thousand Chu State water army.

This happens to be the time for training and performance. If you don't fight at this time, when will you wait?

How could Xiang Yan think that Shen Bing was afraid of dying.

Everything Shen Bing does is actually to save his life, whether he is promoted or promoted to the rank, it is all for the ultimate goal of saving his life.

If you can't save your life, everything is meaningless.

In fact, it is really meaningless. What else do you want to do if you are dead?

It's just that many people, driven by desire, don't understand this.

So is Bai Qi, so is Li Mu, so is Wang Jian...

Shen Bing is different, he understands this, so of course he is not in a hurry to fight.

Xiang Yan became more and more anxious as he waited.

The reason is that after the experience of being flooded last time, Xiang Yan hated and feared Shen Bing.

I hate it because the army of more than [-] was wiped out by Shen Bing in such a flood, and even he himself escaped from death in a panic.

The fear is that Xiang Yan originally thought that the battle of Daliang was certain to be won, and the next situation was to unite the remnants of all countries to counterattack Qin. Although he dare not say that he won a complete victory, he could at least fight against Qin.

Who would have thought that there would be a sudden wave of floods...

Ugh!

Xiang Yan sighed heavily.

How could this Shen Bing think of a plan to break the ice and release the water?

This left Xiang Yan with a psychological shadow and a blow to his confidence in winning.

This shadow can only be erased by killing Shen Bing, and confidence can only be restored after Shen Bing's death.

That's why Xiang Yan wanted to get rid of it and make it quick.

After thinking about it, Xiang Yan ordered the guards:

"Order the navy to speed up the delivery of food, grass and supplies, and step up the construction of fortifications in Qiancheng!"

The personal guard responded and went down to deliver the order.

If the fish doesn't take the bait, then simply put on a posture of staying in Qiancheng for a long time, and see what else you can do? !

However, Qin Jun remained silent.

When Xiang Yan was wondering, suddenly one day, the guard came to report:

"General, the Qin army is attacking from Daliang."

Xiang Yan was overjoyed, she stood up quickly and asked:

"But warships with wheels? How many ships are there?"

The guard replied:

"It's the wheel warship, there are more than a hundred of them!"

Xiang Yan secretly said hello, and finally forced this guy out.

There are more than 25 warships, each with [-] people, at least [-] people, which means that Qin Shuijun is coming out in full force.

Without hesitation, Xiang Yan ordered:

"Pass down the order and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"This time, the Qin army will never come back!"

The personal guard responded and went out of the tent to send an order.

Xiang Yan walked back and forth in the tent for a few steps, thinking about it but was worried, so she rushed to the battlefield with her personal guards to take command.

Xiang Yan set up his headquarters on a mountain on the east bank of the Yellow River.

Here you can overlook Qiancheng across the river.

Not long after, hundreds of Qin army warships with black flags were seen coming down the river, and the wheels on both sides of them could be seen hitting the water vaguely, so it was definitely the wheel warships.

Xiang Yan checked the map and saw that he had passed the first ambush and entered the encirclement of the Chu army, so he put down half of the big rock hanging in his heart.

Secretly said that Shen Bing, even a god, could not escape this time.

Chapter 1 Eighty

It was not Shen Bing's Heijia army who broke into the Chu army's encirclement on a wheeled warship, but the infantry led by Li Yan.

The reason why Shen Bing asked Yang Duanhe to give him another half month was because of two considerations:

One is that Li Yan and other infantry need some time to train.

This point is not difficult, after all, the wheel warship is very easy to control.Old-fashioned warships still have the problem of paddling with equal force to ensure balance on both sides, but wheeled warships only need to be pedaled.

If there is anything that needs training, it is to steer the helm, set up the formation, and strengthen the bow and crossbow.

For the well-trained Qin army, it only takes a few days to practice... Most of the soldiers of the Qin army are promoted from bowmen, so bows and crossbows are of course not a problem.

The other one was the basket weaving artist rushing to catch up with work, and the remaining one thousand sets of armor would be finished after half a month.
