Then, I don't know who couldn't hold back.

"puff……"

……

There was a burst of laughter in the tent immediately.

The female soldiers who had been waiting on both sides in a majestic manner, now completely disregarded their manners and laughed wildly.

Chapter 19 Old as a teacher

There is no need to say more about what happened next.

Yang Ting issued the order according to plan.

For a while, grass men planted banners everywhere on the Great Wall, and from time to time, several groups of soldiers ran past. It seemed crowded and lively.

In private, Yang Ting took the time to urgently transfer her troops to Ci County.

All of this is done under information blackout.

It is not easy to achieve "secrecy" in the era of cold weapons.

In modern times, it is safe to say that messages are transmitted by telephone, telegram and the like.

Although these things are transmitted quickly, they are all traceable and easier to block.

Such as cutting the telephone line, silence the radio, etc.

On the contrary, it was even more difficult to block in ancient times when the equipment was backward.

Because at this time, the way spies transmit information will be carrier pigeons, codes, letters, etc., which can be said to be hard to guard against.

Fortunately, the Qin army has strict military discipline.

In fact, it's not just that the military discipline is strict, but that the Qin army adopts the continuous sitting system.

The so-called continuous sitting system is that the Qin army compiled a book in units of five, and one person committed a crime and the other four would be held liable for consecutive sittings.

So at any time, there will be four people staring at anyone, and any abnormality will be discovered and reported soon.

Under this strict, rigorous, and even harsh system, it was difficult for spies to sneak into the Qin army.

At the same time, it is also difficult for traitors to appear within the Qin army.

Even if there are traitors and spies, it is difficult to spread the information.

After all these arrangements were almost done, Liu Xu served Yang Ting a pot of dirty wine.

Liu Xu has served Yang Ting for many years, and knows that Yang Ting is used to drinking a few cups to relieve fatigue after busy work.

It is said that in this era, alcohol is a luxury item, and even soldiers in the army can only drink a bowl before going to war or going to the battlefield.

Ordinary people want to drink, so they have to wait for the sacrifice to share some sacrifices.

If ordinary people drink casually, it will be another crime if they are found out.

There are many similar laws in Qin State, such as stipulating that ordinary people cannot wear silk socks and shoes.

This seems to be a kind of discrimination against the common people... Why can the common people not be able to but the dignitaries?

But in fact, this is to use the law to rigidly stipulate that the people should be frugal.

In this way, as much material and manpower as possible can be invested in the war.

After a few glasses of wine, Liu Xu started talking:

"Miss."

"That Zhang Xuan can be regarded as a figure in the army, I don't want to be humiliated by Shen Bing today!"

"Shen Bing's mouth is really amazing!"

Yang Ting smiled and shook her head.

"You still think that Shen Bing is just talking?"

"Which of the words he said today can only be obtained by knowing the art of war?"

Liu Xu couldn't help being puzzled when he heard this.

"Familiar with the art of war?"

"Miss means...then Shen Bing has learned the art of war?"

"But he's just an operator, so how could..."

It's no wonder that catkins are strange.

The education system of Qin State is to train talents systematically.

The second-generation rich, the second-generation official, or those who are outstanding among the common people will be transferred to discipleship to specialize in learning.

Those who have student status are not required to serve in the military. Only after they have completed their studies will their student status be removed and they will be sent to serve in the army.

They usually serve as officers and lead troops in battle, such as Zhang Xuan.

If Shen Bing had studied the art of war, he would naturally not be an operator.

Yang Ting held the wine goblet, thoughtful. (Note 1)

"I'm also surprised by this."

"Shen Bing is not a disciple, so where did his art of war come from?"

"It doesn't look like he has learned the art of war, because the art of war he said is not something we have learned."

"Although some similarities can be found, some places seem to be much more advanced."

These words only surprised Liu Xu so much that her jaw almost dropped.

"Miss, are you saying that Shen Bing's art of war is even better than that of Sun Wu?"

Yang Ting shook her head.

"It's not that he is better than Sun Wu, it's just..."

"I can't tell, he's like a mystery."

……

If Shen Bing heard these words, he would definitely be surprised.

Yang Ting saw very accurately that Shen Bing was not better than Sun Wu.

But Shen Bing has modern strategic and tactical vision, as well as rich knowledge.

These made him shine on the battlefield even less than Sun Tzu.

While the master and servant were discussing, suddenly a loud arrow shot straight into the air with a scream.

Yang Ting's complexion changed suddenly, and she said.

"No, Zhao Jun is here!"

"They came so fast."

Shen Bing returned to the artillery division after leaving the captain's battalion.

As soon as he came back, he pulled Xun aside.

"Master, it's time to improve the trebuchet!"

Xun looked at Shen Bing in surprise.

"Improve it further?"

"You mean you still have a way to improve the trebuchet?"

Xun secretly startled.

The shooting range of the trebuchet has been doubled after improvement, which can already be regarded as a supernatural workmanship, shaking the world and crying ghosts and gods.

As a craftsman, if he has such a work, it is enough to show off his previous life and even leave his name in history.

This is the honor that Xun and other craftsmen dream of.

But there is still a way to improve this guy?

And it's so easy to say?

It's like talking about how full you ate just now, and whether you slept well last night.

Heaven, let people live? !

Shen Bing didn't notice the strange expression on Xun's face, he looked at the trebuchet and answered lightly:

"Of course, there is still much room for improvement."

"For example, the axle is too small. It can be enlarged and added grip."

"And the cannon tip, if it is thickened and lengthened, it can throw heavier stone bullets farther!"

"But these are small things. The most important thing now is to improve the counterweight."

"master."

"master?"

……

Shen Bing was stunned to find that Xun Leng was standing there like an old monk in meditation, and he woke him up after calling several times.

Followed by "oh".

"I'm fine, I'm fine..."

"You mean, uh, improve the counterweight!"

"How can it be improved?"

Shen Bing replied without thinking:

"Of course the counterweight is changed to a one-piece style."

"Using baskets with stones as counterweights has many disadvantages."

"The basket is fragile and easy to drop. It can only hold stones, and it will swing back and forth when launching, which will affect the accuracy."

"It's different to make a one-piece wooden box and fix it on the gun tip."

"It can even hold sand as a counterweight."

"Sand and soil can be found everywhere, especially when you are marching, you can discharge the sand and soil, and then temporarily load the sand and soil before the battle."

……

"Master, are you alright?"

"Is it too tired to be busy all day?"

Xun couldn't help coughing, and raised his hand with difficulty to shake Shen Bing.

Shen Bing stepped forward and stroked his back and patted his chest. It took him a long time to recover before he regained his breath.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Xun panted and said, "Oh, I'm old... I'm old!"

At this time, suddenly a loud arrow went straight to Yunxiao.

Shen Bing couldn't help frowning.

"Could it be Zhao Jun?"

"They came so fast!"

"I'm afraid that the Qin army's strength has not been adjusted yet!"
