Daqin Engineering Corps

"It's so good!" Yang Ting smiled and explained: "So, the general will not have the heart to oppose Qin!"

It was fine if Yang Ting didn't explain, but when she explained, it revealed her little thoughts hidden deep in her heart.

Then Yang Ting got on her horse, reined in her horse and bowed her hands to Shen Bing, saying: "Thank you, General, for not killing me, Yang Ting will go now!"

As he spoke, he pulled the horse's head and led the supply team out of the city gate.

Shen Bing looked at Yang Ting's leaving back, tried to call her back several times but couldn't.

At some point, Princess Ziyang had come to Shen Bing's side and said: "The captain has a deep love for the general, how can the general have the heart to lie to her?"

Shen Bing let out an "ah", turned his head and walked towards the General's Mansion.

He wants wine more than ever, and it seems that only wine can make him temporarily forget the guilt in his heart.

Because Princess Ziyang is right, Shen Bing actually did not tell the truth to Yang Ting.

Or, it could also be said that Shen Bing was telling the truth, but he was using her.

Just imagine, who is Yang Duanhe?

How could he not understand that Fusu was wronged!

Even if he is not sure about this, based on his knowledge of Shen Bing, he knows that Shen Bing will not oppose Qin.

There is only one reason why Yang Duanhe led his troops to the Western Regions, that is, more than a hundred members of the Yang family are in the hands of Zhao Gao's party, and if there is a little carelessness, all of them will be killed.

That being the case, how can Yang Ting persuade Yang Duanhe to talk about her going?

Yang Duanhe didn't need Yang Ting's persuasion at all. He understood the relationship between right and wrong from beginning to end, but he didn't explain it.

Shen Bing circled around like this, focusing on the manpower assigned to Yang Ting to deliver supplies.

These men were none other than the Pu Lei Army led by Jiang. They were good at riding and shooting, and they were selected musketeers who practiced arquebus all the way.

Although there are only a hundred people in this line, there are a large number of muskets loaded with gunpowder and projectiles in the supply truck, and each person has three on average.

When……

Of course Yang Ting didn't know this. After leaving the city, she just turned her head and looked in the direction of Gushi City. After sighing, she led the supply team and went straight west.

If nothing else happens, she will be able to join forces with Yang Duanhe's army tonight.

But Yang Ting didn't think about how to persuade Yang Duanhe.

Yang Ting has confidence in this point, and then only needs to put out the doubts one by one, and Yang Duanhe will understand.

At this time, Yang Ting's mind was full of Shen Bing's figure and previous memories.

Recalling that Shen Bing was just a slippery soldier when he was in Zhao Changcheng, but now he is such a general, it seems that the world is under his control.

Thinking about it, Yang Ting felt a little ashamed.

He secretly said that he is now a great general and is still attached to the court. If he can help Zuo Fusu to the top, he will be a prime minister who is under one person and above ten thousand people. She Yang Ting is just a school lieutenant, how can she be compared with him? ?

While thinking about walking, before I knew it, it was getting dark.

At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes in the darkness, followed by a loud shout: "Who is coming? Tell us your name!"

5Chapter 16 Capture the thief and capture the king

Yang Ting hesitated for a while, and then responded loudly: "I am Yang Ting, Lieutenant of Hanoi Military Academy, escorting supplies from Shazhou!"

Hearing Yang Ting's reply, the other party relaxed his vigilance. After all, Yang Ting is Yang Duanhe's daughter, and she is a heroine in the army. The Hanoi army doesn't know that there are not many of her.

"It turned out to be Lieutenant Yang!" A team of Qin cavalry came up in the dark, and the head of the village headed towards Yang Ting and said: "I am ordered by the general to come and investigate. From now on, I will go west safely. In our barracks, the general is concerned about the safety of the school lieutenant, the general can rest assured that the school lieutenant is safe!"

Yang Ting nodded, and asked back: "Why has my aunt fallen into the enemy's hands? But the banner of our army is still flying. If I hadn't sent someone to notify first, I would have almost sent the supplies to my aunt!"

The head of the village pulled his horse's head, and while waving his hands to let his subordinates protect Yang Ting and the supplies, he sighed: "The captain doesn't know something, but the Shen soldier is really scheming, and he took the aunt with one move. But this battle is not a general. It's not my fault, but..."

Speaking of this, the head of the village stopped talking and didn't go any further.

But Yang Ting knew the meaning of these words, Yang Duanhe actually fought under the supervision and command of the eunuch Xing Chi, if Yang Duanhe had full authority to command, how could he make such a big mistake.

Therefore, the whole army understands that this is not the fault of the general, but the fault of the eunuch for misusing the country.

This made Yang Ting even more convinced that what Shen Bing and Fusu said was right. Zhao Gao's party was trying to get rid of Fusu as soon as possible in order to support others to be in power, so he opposed Yang Duanhe's steady and steady strategy, and was found by Shen Bing. flawed.

Yang Ting didn't say anything more along the way, and she even ordered a silence on the grounds of preventing exposure.

In fact, Yang Ting was worried that the identities of the people she brought would be exposed... Although they were wearing the armor of the Qin army and they had biography, but the biography and appearance did not match, and most of them could not speak the Central Plains dialect.

If I say a few more words, I'm afraid I'll miss out before I even arrive at the barracks.

This excuse really worked, everyone hurried on their way, and the head of the village was also very responsible to send out cavalry to scout around in case there was an enemy sneak attack.

An hour later, the supply convoy entered the Qin army's camp very smoothly... The guards saw that the leader was Yang Ting, and there were rangers guarding him, so they dared not check, and let the supply convoy go straight into the camp.

As soon as Yang Duanhe heard that Yang Ting had come, he was discussing with his subordinates how to attack the city, and he hurried out of the tent to greet him with a few personal guards.

Yang Ting jumped off the horse and was about to step forward when she suddenly saw that the look on the side of her was a little strange.

Before Yang Ting could react, Jiang pointed at Yang Duanhe and yelled a few Western Region dialects, and the soldiers delivering the supplies suddenly opened the supply cart and took out iron rods from inside...

Although Yang Ting didn't know what those iron rods were, she knew that something was wrong. She didn't know that there were still these things hidden in the supplies.

On the other hand, they shouted Western Region dialect in the barracks while making such a big commotion, obviously they were not worried about being noticed by Qin Jun.

Yang Ting sensitively sensed that she seemed to be being used, but she didn't believe that Shen Bing would do this, so her eyes widened and she looked at the group of people at a loss for what to do.

Jiang ignored Yang Ting. He had stayed in the Qin army before and knew Yang Duanhe.

At this moment, seeing Yang Duanhe was close at hand, how could he miss such a good opportunity, he pointed at Yang Duanhe and shouted: "This is the chief general of the Qin army, don't let him escape!"

A group of Pu Lei soldiers took out their muskets from the supply cart with a loud shout.

Yang Duanhe immediately realized that something was wrong, but on the one hand, he was worried about Yang Ting's safety, and on the other hand, he thought that this was the Qin Army's camp, and there were soldiers of the Qin Army everywhere. What's the commotion?

So he just yelled loudly for the guards to step forward to protect Yang Ting.

How did Yang Duanhe think that what these enemies were holding was nothing but the arquebus that defeated the Seleucid coalition forces.

Perhaps only the eunuch Xingchi was the only one in the Qin army who really knew about matchlock guns.

Xing Chi will know because Zhao Gao has been around Shen Bing for a long time, and if there is any trouble in Shen Bing, it will immediately spread to Zhao Gaona.

And Xing Chi is the supervisor sent by Zhao Gao to assist Yang Duan and fight Shen Bing, so of course Zhao Gao will tell Xing Chi about Shen Bing's secret weapon and ask him to be careful.

Zhao Gao described the matchlock gun in this way: "This thing is filled with gunpowder, added with bullets, and the fire is released from the hole, and the bullets are fired immediately. There is no one who fails to hit. Its hair is also like an electric light. Ming Ye, like the bang of shocking electricity, everyone who hears it can't cover their ears..."

Then Xing Chi still had a sketch of a matchlock gun in his arms.

But Xing Chi knew that it was of no use at all. He even thought that if he told Yang Duanhe about it, it would affect the morale of the army... The arquebus gun was said to be so good. If you are timid, how can you still win the battle?

So Qin Jun knew nothing about matchlock guns, even Yang Duanhe was no exception.

When the guards saw these people taking out the "iron pipe", they wondered what kind of special supplies it was.

Until Pu Leijun lit the match and pulled the trigger at the guards who came forward...

"Bang bang" after a gunshot like firecrackers, the bodyguards who were still alive just now fell in a pool of blood, just like the legendary acupuncture point.

Yang Duanhe couldn't help being startled, and while turning around, he ordered the guards to come forward...but the nearest guards were also ten steps away, and they were also frightened by the roar and froze in place.

When they reacted and were about to come up for rescue, there was another gunshot and they were knocked down to the ground row by row.

Yang Duanhe was just about to run, but before he had time, he was immediately surrounded by a group of Pu Lei troops.

Jiang rushed forward and raised the knife in his hand, and after a scream, he held up a bloody head and shouted: "Yang Duanhe has already given the head, when will you wait if you don't surrender now?"

Then, the horn sounded outside the camp of the Qin army, and the horseshoes sounded and dust flew everywhere. Under the moonlight, there were cavalrymen from the Western Regions galloping everywhere.

The Qin army was in chaos for a while, and they didn't know who was in the lead, so they fled around with a loud shout.

Yang Ting wanted to step forward to snatch Yang Duanhe several times, but was stopped by Yang Duanhe's personal guards and fled with the rebel army under cover...

Although the Qin army has strict military discipline and imposes severe punishments on deserters, Yang Duanhe's Hanoi soldiers are also elite soldiers who are not greedy for life and afraid of death.

But fortunately, Chi's random command made the soldiers dissatisfied, and then Yanquan lost and lost his aunt's important place. At this time, the main general Yang Duanhe was beheaded by the enemy... Tens of thousands of soldiers were all disheartened and unintentional In love with fighting, they scatter and run away like ants whose nest has been smashed.

Under the moonlight, Shen Bing rode his horse and slowly walked out of the cavalry. He looked at the Qin army in a mess in the dark, and sighed in his heart, he didn't know how to face Yang Ting in the future.

5Chapter 17 Water Source

Qin Jun fled to Loulan protecting Xingchi.

Although no one is willing to protect Xingchi, if something goes wrong with Xingchi, their family members in Xianyang may be implicated, so they can only do this.

Of course, Yang Ting also fled to Loulan with the army.

Yang Ting still couldn't believe that Shen Bing would deceive her and use her, and even killed Yang Duanhe.

But the iron-like facts were in front of her eyes so she had to believe it.

In the beginning, she wanted to step forward several times... In fact, it was more out of guilt. She killed her father and killed Qin Jun. What face does Yang Ting have left in this world?

But after walking in the desert for a few days, Yang Ting figured it out.

In the Yang family, only her and her father served in the army. At this time, her father had been killed by Shen Bing. If she went to her death rashly, who else could avenge her father?

So Yang Ting gritted her teeth to calm herself down, and even forced herself to eat to maintain her strength.

Yang Ting was worried that if she led the Pu Lei army into the Qin army's camp until the commander died, it would undoubtedly be a capital crime, and it would even affect her family.

But I don't know why Xingchi hasn't taken her down for questioning at this time.

Of course she didn't know that Xing Chi had his own plans.

If Xingchi still has time, then of course Yang Ting will be taken and escorted to Xianyang for trial.

The problem is that Xing Chi has not given up until now, and still wants to defeat Shen Bing and take Fusu.

But this is not surprising.

Zhao Gao's party can only do this, otherwise they will have a dead end.

In addition, the Qin army still has strength... Although it was defeated again and again, Shen Bing seemed to have no intention of chasing and killing along the way, so the Hanoi soldiers did not hurt their vitality.

In the direction of the sandbar, Meng Tian brought another [-] troops and a large amount of supplies to help. When the two armies are united, it may not be impossible to defeat the Shen soldiers.

If this is the case, it is the top priority to control the Hanoi army and stabilize its position.

But Xing Chi is just an eunuch, and the reputation of Li Yan, the deputy general, is not enough to command the whole army, so he can only use Yang Ting's hand to revive the morale of the army.

Therefore, Xing Chi not only did not condemn Yang Ting, but also ordered to block the news that Yang Ting led the enemy into the Qin camp. He only claimed that Yang Ting was forced by the enemy to enter the Qin camp, and then ordered Yang Ting to avenge her father. Call on Yang Duan and the old Ministry.

Yang Ting still had no reason to refuse, so she still called up the old troops with Li Yan as the deputy general in order to fight again.

Yang Ting's side was making intensive preparations, but Meng Tian's side had a problem.

Meng Tian received the order to lead the army from Shazhou to Gushi, and fight with Yang Ting against the rebels, but Meng Tian did not send troops for a long time.

The supervisor of Meng Tian's army is another eunuch trusted by Zhao Gao, named Kuang Tu. He and Xing Chi have been serving Zhao Gao all the year round and are called his right-hand men.

Kuang Tu asked Meng Tian with a slightly unhappy tone: "General Meng, the food and grass haven't arrived yet?"

Meng Tian shook his head.

Kuang Tu asked again: "Is that because the soldiers and horses have not yet arrived?"

Meng Tian shook his head again.

Kuang Tu couldn't help wondering: "If it wasn't for the lack of food and grass, or the lack of soldiers and horses, why did the general hesitate?"

"Supervisor, please look!" Meng Tian pointed to the map and said, "There are two roads from Shazhou to the Western Regions, one to Loulan and the other to Gushi. If both of these cities are in the hands of our army, then the victory of this battle is sure. , we have 20 Hanoi soldiers and [-] reinforcements, even if the Shen soldiers have three heads and six arms, they will be defeated by horses!"

After a pause, Meng Tian shook his head again and said: "But at this time, Gu Shi has lost Yang Duanhe and died in battle..."

Kuang Tu wondered: "Hanoi soldiers have been summoned by Yang Ting and are actively preparing for the battle. Even if there are not 20, there are 15, which is only [-] less than before. Why is the general so pessimistic?"

Meng Tian shook his head and replied: "The supervising army doesn't know something, it's not as simple as losing [-] troops, but our army can't take care of both ends."

Meng Tian pointed to the map and said: "As far as Meng Tian knows, although Loulan can be regarded as a city, its water source is only enough for tens of thousands of people to drink, but there are more than [-] troops gathered around it. For the sake of fame, but will eventually be unable to protect itself due to lack of water.”

After a pause, Meng Tian continued: "If our soldiers go out of Loulan, we can only send a large amount of supplies to ensure their safe retreat. If our soldiers go out of the aunt, not only will we not be able to achieve the goal of attacking the aunt, but it will be more difficult. Make Loulan safe!"

The difference between Kuang Tu and Xing Chi is that he knows a little bit about military affairs, and he couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, and asked, "So, how should we deal with it?"

Meng Tian shook his head and said: "There is no solution to this battle, the best strategy is to defend the sandbank and use defense instead of attack! Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"
