"Perhaps, you just said that to save your life!"

Shen Bing nodded.

"What the general said is true!"

"However, if the general wants to take action, he is not in a hurry, right?"

Yang Duan and his facial muscles twitched non-stop.

This was right for Shen Bing again.

As the commander of the first army, Yang Duanhe can kill Shen Bing at any time.

He can wait for a while to see if Shen Bing has other skills.

Yang Duanhe felt a little frustrated while being shocked.

Because he found that although he was in power, he was led by the nose everywhere by this unknown soldier in front of him.

But Jiang is still old and hot after all, Yang Duanhe slapped haha ​​and immediately changed his face:

"I think you are a first-time offender, and you have contributed to improving the trebuchet. I will make up for your mistakes and forgive you for your innocence!"

"Now you are enfeoffed as the engineer, and I will supervise the construction of the trebuchet together with the two of Cang!"

"If you can successfully defeat the enemy, there will be another big reward!"

Bing and Cang looked at each other, and quickly responded:

"promise!"

"Thank you for not killing the general!"

After Bing and Cang left, Li Yan came up and asked:

"General, I think that Shen Bing seems to be a useful talent, why don't you take him into account?"

Yang Duanhe replied without thinking:

"what do you know?"

"Which of the capable ministers and generals under the old man's income account is not prepared for the top?"

"So, you have to act like nothing happened, understand?"

"No!" Yang Duanhe said so and Li Yan understood.

This is true.

Yang Duanhe is Wang Jian's subordinate, and if there are any capable people and strangers, they will be transferred by Wang Jian in a few days.

But in the next second, a black line appeared on Li Yan's face.

Nima has been by Yang Duanhe's side for five years, but she has never...

Chapter 4 工丞

So Shen Bing became Gong Cheng.

Gongcheng is a small official, a very small official.

It is so small that there are only ten craftsmen under it.

Master Xun is an engineer, one level higher than Shen Bing.

Even so, Shen Bing took all the limelight this time.

Not only that, but it also seems a little ignorant, which is a bit embarrassing.

This was the first problem Shen Bing encountered, but of course it didn't bother him.

Shen Bing expressed his gratitude to Xun immediately.

"The master is above, please accept the disciples!"

"I am honored to be appointed as Gong Cheng today, thanks to my master's teaching!"

Hearing this, Xun was dumbfounded.

It is true to say that it is taught, but it is a bit exaggerated to use the word "all thanks".

After all, Lian Xun didn't know this improvement method, otherwise he wouldn't be able to wait for Shen Bing to make a move.

Shen Bing naturally saw Xun's expression, so he explained:

"Master often worries about manpower launching stone bullets!"

"There are many shortcomings in saying that this human-powered stone bomb is fired!"

"For example, if 30 people don't exert their strength at the same time, they will definitely be weak!"

"If you are weak, you will be in danger, and you may even hurt your own people!"

……

Xun couldn't stop nodding his head.

This is indeed what he usually said.

It's just that the direction is not the case. That's what I said when I was training the workers and ministers to launch stone bullets together.

But of course no one bothered to delve into the details.

"So!" Shen Bing concluded:

"Influenced by the master, the apprentice wondered if he could use counterweights instead of manpower!"

"The counterweight is not like manpower, it usually requires 30 people to work at the same time!"

"All I need is to pull up the counterweight!"

Said Shen Bing bowed deeply to Xun.

"Fortunately, the apprentice did not disgrace the mission, and finally fulfilled the master's wish!"

"It is because of this credit that the master will naturally have a share."

"Wait for disciple to report to General Ming..."

How dare Xun let Shen Bing do this, he hurriedly stopped him:

"Hey, why do you and I, master and apprentice, divide each other?"

"Master, how can you be a person who is greedy for vanity?"

"It is also your good fortune that you can realize these principles from my teachings!"

"It's rare for the general to entrust him with a heavy responsibility. From now on, he will do his best to serve Daqin!"

Shen Bing hastily saluted with all five bodies on the ground.

"Respect Master's instruction!"

Xun was getting more and more satisfied with this apprentice, and while stroking his beard, he replied beautifully:

"A child can be taught! A child can be taught!"

What a picture of "teachers and apprentices respect, near and far away" moved everyone nearby with tears in their eyes and nodded in praise.

At this time, Cang came out and asked:

"Master, when did you teach this?"

"I do not know how?"

With a change of complexion, he glanced around awkwardly and said angrily:

"eventful!"

"I said you guy, you are really getting more and more unmotivated!"

"Look at them, learn from soldiers when you have time!"

Cang: ...

On the other side, Zhao Jun was overjoyed because of Qin Jun's postponement of the attack.

It was Zhao general Pang Nuan who was stationed at Zhao Great Wall.

This Pang Nuan can be said to be a veteran general of Zhao State, but also a new general of Zhao State.

I said he was a veteran because Pang Nuan was already eighty-five at this time.

It is said that he is a new general because he was nearly eighty years old before he was appreciated and reused by King Zhao Mourning.

The so-called reuse is actually the fact that at this time, Zhao Guowu has almost no generals available.

Li Mu is the only one who can fight wars in the whole country, but he has to be stationed on the northern border.

Otherwise, how can you use Pang Nuan who has passed the war?

It's just that Pang Nuan is also competitive. Although he is old, he is quick-thinking and vigorous. Since he became the commander-in-chief, he has won several victories and even organized an alliance of six countries to attack Qin.

Although he returned without success, Pang Nuan also consolidated his position in Zhao State.

At this time, when the Qin army's offensive slowed down, the generals congratulated Pang Nuan one after another:

"Congratulations, general, the Qin army suffered heavy casualties, and I'm afraid they will retreat in a few days!"

"With generals guarding the Great Wall, how can there be a place where the Qin army is arrogant?"

"The general's merits will be added to the list!"

……

As he spoke, there was a sound of praise in the hall.

Only Pang Nuan frowned and said nothing.

The general Xu Chang asked suspiciously: "Is the general worried that the Qin army will come to attack the city again?"

Pang Nuan shook his head and replied:

"If the Qin army continues to attack the city, I'm not worried!"

"After all, the walls of the Great Wall are solid and thick, and we are fully prepared. Even if the Qin army has three heads and six arms, it will be difficult for me! It's just..."

Xuchang is a bit strange.

"If it's three-headed and six-armed, it's hard for me. Could it be that the Qin army can fly over the Great Wall with wings?"

Pang Nuan sighed and said:

"The Qin army was blocked by General Li Mu in the north, and must have urged Yang Duanhe to attack in the south."

"So Yang Duanhe has continued to attack for more than [-] days without interruption!"

"This is Yang Duanhe's strategy of exhausting the army, which made it impossible for me to rest and recuperate!"

"But at this time, the Qin army suddenly stopped attacking... There must be Xi Qiao in this matter!"

When Pang Nuan said this, Xu Chang also felt something was wrong.

It should be said that Yang Duanhe's strategic approach is correct.

The state of Zhao has been hit by natural disasters recently, first with a large-scale earthquake.

From the west of Lexu, north to Pingyin, most of the walls of buildings and houses were destroyed by the earthquake, and a huge crack was opened in the ground, 130 steps wide from east to west.

Then came the Great Famine, and there was a nursery rhyme among the people:

"The people of Zhao cry, and the people of Qin laugh. If you don't believe me, look at the grass!"

Under such circumstances, the best way to attack the Great Wall of Zhao is to use continuous offensives to consume the vital strength and supplies of the Zhao army.

Once the Zhao army's strength or food and grass are weak, it will be the time for the Qin army to break through the city.

Therefore, the Qin army will not stop attacking unless it is absolutely necessary.

Unless, Qin Jun has other ways to break the city.

After thinking about it, Xu Chang said again:

"Or the general is worrying too much!"
