Daqin Engineering Corps

Yang Ting was secretly startled as soon as she swept the city.

Zhao Jun's army was well-groomed and well-armored. Although there were thousands of troops and horses, they entered and exited in an orderly manner.

Although Yang Ting is very courageous and it is not the first time to face the enemy, but she is still photographed by the power of Zhao Jun, and it is difficult to suppress the uneasiness and restlessness in her heart.

"It seems that I underestimated Zhao Jun!" Yang Ting whispered to Liu Xu next to her, "Zhao Jun is full of elite teachers this time!"

Liu Xu immediately turned pale with fright, and asked:

"Miss, we haven't adjusted our troops yet, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for Zhao Jun to attack."

"But what should I do?"

Yang Ting thought for a while, then replied:

"Don't panic."

"Although we are short of troops, we have come from everywhere to help."

"As long as I wait to resist for a while, reinforcements will arrive one after another."

After thinking about it, Yang Ting ordered again:

"Let Zhang Xuan and his subordinates form a formation at the gap!"

"The Qin army must not be allowed to rush into the gap and capture the city gate!"

Liu Xu responded with a "promise", turned around and went to deliver the order.

But before walking a few steps, she was called back by Yang Ting.

"Inform Shen Bing about the situation!"

Liu Xu thought she had heard wrong.

The school captain actually wanted to inform Shen Bing of the situation?

An operator?

But after Yang Ting cast a urging look, Liu Xu suddenly woke up and left in response.

In fact, Yang Ting didn't know why she had to notify Shen Bing.

There is no reason for the school lieutenant to command operations to let a gunner operator know.

For countermeasures?

Shen Bing has already mentioned the countermeasures, and this is how it is deployed now.

For emergency?

What can Shen Bing, an operator, do in such a hurry!What's more, trebuchets are not very effective in close combat between the enemy and us.

That is……

Yang Ting thought about it carefully, and found that it seemed unsafe not to tell Shen Bing.

That said, it's purely for security.

This answer startled Yang Ting.

"Pooh!"

"I, Yang Ting, still want to feel safe?"

"It's almost as good as grabbing his ears and beating him violently!"

however……

Why "twist the ears?"

Would you actually want to pull his ears?

The more Yang Ting thought about it, the more confused she became, her face flushed unconsciously.

Peeking around, fortunately, others were focusing on Zhao Jun, so they didn't notice any difference in her demeanor.

When he was thinking wildly, he heard the sound of drums in the city, and Zhao Jun moved the trebuchets to the front of the formation.

Yang Ting couldn't help being dumbfounded when she took a closer look.

What Zhao Jun used turned out to be a new type of trebuchet.

The new trebuchet improved by Shen Bing...

"It's unreasonable!" Yang Ting scolded: "You actually learned how to use our trebuchet to attack our army!"

When the gravel flew around the city and screamed, Liu Xu had already notified Zhang Xuan.

In fact, Yang Ting didn't need to order Zhang Xuan to lead people to set up a formation at the gap.

This was the previous plan.

It was just Shen Bing's plan.

Zhang Xuan was a little unhappy because of this, and he was still troubled when facing the enemy:

"How can you leave the city wall undefended and open a gap for the enemy to attack?"

"The lieutenant must have never been in battle, but he was deceived by that Shen soldier's rumors and believed it was true."

"Cixian County is already weak and needs to show its weakness?"

"It's good now, and the main force of Zhao's army is attracted to attack."

"How can our army defend with only five thousand men?"

"This trip will be killed by these ignorant children!"

……

It has to be said that sometimes strategies and tactics conflict with marching operations.

Like this time.

From a strategic point of view, it is required to show the enemy's weakness.

But from a tactical point of view, leaving the gap unfilled is indeed not conducive to the Qin army's defense.

Of course, tactics must unconditionally obey strategic needs.

But the ancients in Qin Dynasty had a hard time seeing this point clearly, at least Zhang Xuan couldn't understand it.

Of course Liu Xu didn't know what Zhang Xuan was thinking, and found Shen Bing immediately after informing him.

"Operator!"

"The situation has changed, Zhao Jun is all elite."

"Does our army need to... adjust the deployment?"

This was actually within Shen Bing's expectation.

First of all, Zhao Jun itself is not weak.

If the combat effectiveness of the troops is not considered in terms of the comprehensive strength of the country, Zhao should be the strongest among the six countries.

Because it has been fighting for many years at the border with the Huns in the north, so there are many famous generals with rich fighting experience.

This can be seen from the fact that Qin State repeatedly sent troops to Zhao State and was defeated by Zhao Jun.

The reason why Zhao State was finally destroyed by Qin State.

On the one hand, the Hunjun killed Li Mu and destroyed the Great Wall.

On the other hand, there are natural disasters: earthquakes and droughts, which made the already weak Zhao State even worse.

More importantly still.

This time Zhao Jun took a boat down the river to attack the Great Wall.

Traveling by boat means limited troops.

If the force is limited and you want to capture the Great Wall, you must choose elite soldiers.

So what Qin Jun had to face was of course the best soldiers among the best soldiers.

Shen Bing didn't say it before because he was worried that he would be charged again with "growing the enemy's ambition and destroying his own prestige".

What's more, so what?

Scheduling and deployment are still the same, what to do or how to do it.

"There is no need to adjust the deployment!" Shen Bing replied while busy with the work in hand.

"But...if our army loses..." Liu Xu worried that Shen Bing would not know the seriousness of the matter.

At least Shen Bing gave the impression that his face was calm.

No one can be so calm in this situation, unless he doesn't know the consequences.

But in fact, Shen Bing knows the consequences better than anyone else.

If Zhao Jun cannot be stopped, all deployments and strategies will be wiped out.

It can even be said that his strategy of "showing the enemy to be weak" is still wrong.

Because if it wasn't for the purpose of showing weakness to the enemy, at least half of the gap in the city wall could be blocked.

Qin Jun can at least rely on the city wall to resist for a while.

Maybe you can use the new trebuchet and geographical advantages to make up the gap while playing.

but now……

Shen Bing didn't stop in his hands, and after measuring, he drew a line on the ground with a bamboo branch, and replied:

"The captain is wise!"

"Zhao Jun will definitely use the gap in the Great Wall as a breakthrough point, and then turn to attack the city gate."

"Once Zhao Jun captures the city gate...our army will be defeated."

Liu Xu was angry and anxious:

"Since you know that the war is urgent, you are still here for fun?"

"Don't you think about a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

Shen Bing spread his hands and replied:

"The subordinate is nothing but an operator!"

"Isn't the strategy of retreating the enemy something you only need to consider?"

"What's more, the outcome is still unknown. Is Shangzao too impatient?"

Liu Xu's title is Shangzao, which can be seen from her braided hair, which is the symbol of Shangzao.

Liu Xu stomped her feet angrily, and turned to leave.

Shen Bing hurriedly shouted:

"It's up to God to forgive."

"It's about your family and my life, so how can the subordinates not be in a hurry?"

"What the subordinates are doing now is a strategy to retreat from the enemy!"

Liu Xu couldn't help turning her head in doubt when she heard the words, looked at Shen Bing up and down, and asked:

"You are just comparing and planning here, how can you come up with a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

Chapter 21 火力封锁

Just as he was talking, the sound of drums outside the city suddenly became more urgent, and then Zhao Jun shouted to kill the generals.

Yang Ting and the others read correctly, the Zhao army with a strength of [-] troops was indeed an elite division.

In particular, there is also a Northland soldier with a number of 5000.

The so-called northern soldiers are soldiers who have been stationed in northern Xinjiang for a long time and followed Li Mu to fight against the Xiongnu.

Li Mu originally confronted Wang Jian's Qin army in Jingxing (located in today's Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province).
