Daqin Engineering Corps

What is this all about?

When this great enemy is in front of us, at a time of life and death... everyone comes to apprentice!

Just as Shen Bing was thinking about how to refuse, Yang Ting hurried over.

Shen Bing immediately realized that it was bad news, otherwise Yang Ting wouldn't need to be so anxious.

Sure enough, Yang Ting stepped forward and whispered:

"That guy from Xuchang is still alive."

"And has returned to Handan."

Shen Bing couldn't help being taken aback...Xu Chang, the Zhao Jun commander who was trapped in Wo Niu Mountain and thought he was burned to death?

It turned out that Xu Chang was not burned to death, he led a group of personal guards and escaped from the cliff with vines.

After that, he hid in the forest for a few days, and escaped by the mountain road after Qin Jun left Wo Niu Mountain.

After many twists and turns, I just returned to Handan at this time.

Life in Xuchang is small.

Shen Bing originally planned to let Xu Chang return to Zhao State alive.

Because the return of incompetent people like this can only be the scourge of Zhao Guo and will not pose a threat to Qin Jun.

However, this time and that time.

Xu Chang is the commander-in-chief of the first army, he knows the process of Li Mu commanding the battle best.

If Li Mu had the intention to surrender to the enemy, he would not have turned passive into proactively ordering Xu Chang to attack the Qin army's supply line.

If Wang Bai had the heart to surrender to Qin, he would not have fought desperately and even brought more than a thousand subordinates to break through in the end.

Xu Chang knew clearly in his heart that Wang Bai surrendered because he was framed and forced to surrender.

In this way, as long as Xu Chang said a few words in front of King Zhao, Shen Bing's divorce plan would be declared bankrupt.

But at this time, there was nothing anyone could do, they couldn't go to King Zhao to complain and insist that Li Mu was collaborating with the enemy!

So Shen Bing lost his mind and could only take one step at a time.

The atmosphere on the city wall was very tense for a while...

Others who don't know are fine.

They already knew that the battle was won more than lost, and they didn't know anything about the tactics, investigations, etc., so there was not much difference.

However, Yang Ting, Liu Xu, and Zhang Xuan, who said little and knew well, were different.

The ups and downs are like riding a roller coaster.

At first they thought they would be defeated, but after Shen Bing put forward a divorce plan, they were full of hope, and then their hopes were shattered because of the appearance of Xu Chang...

Shen Bing wished that he had never thought about this scheming, so as not to be disappointed after hope.

On the third day, the situation continued to deteriorate, and a large number of Zhao Jun's infantry rushed to the Great Wall.

As if in response to Yang Ting and others' guesses, Shen Bing was woken up by a sound and vibration before dawn that morning.

When I walked out of the tent, I saw that the city wall was already covered with rubble and arrows were flying randomly.

Occasionally, a few rockets crossed the Great Wall and fell far to the mud ahead.

Fatty ran to Shen Bing's side and reported:

"master!"

"It's Zhao Jun, the main force of Zhao Jun has arrived."

"It is said that there are more than [-] people, and beacon fires have been lit everywhere!"

Shen Bing looked around, and sure enough, he saw black smoke everywhere on the beacon tower.

Shen Bing thought to himself that it was over.

At this time, the Qin army barely had [-] troops on the Great Wall.

Originally, [-] was not a disadvantage to Zhao Jun's [-].

After all, the Qin army guarded the Great Wall to occupy a geographical advantage, and they could still take advantage of head-to-head.

However, the [-] soldiers of the Qin army were the [-] who were "tortured" by Li Mu's Northern Jingqi and had no morale.

But Zhao Jun's [-] is the [-] that just rushed to the battlefield after recharging his energy.

Coupled with the fact that Li Mu led the northern cavalry to harass everywhere, the Great Wall might not be able to hold on anymore.

Shen Bing didn't care whether the Great Wall could be defended or not.

However, there are no eggs under the overturned nest.

If the Qin army is completely defeated, what good will happen to Shen Bing?

prisoners of war?

slave?

Or just turn into a headless corpse...

The more Shen Bing thought about it, the more frightened he became. He returned to the tent, took the bronze sword and hung it on his waist, waved at Fatty Tun and the others, and ordered:

"Ascend the city to fight against the enemy!"

Everyone shouted "No" and followed Shen Bing to the city wall.

Sometimes the battlefield is just like that.

It leaves no room for greed and fear of death.

Because the more afraid of death, the faster you lose.

The faster you lose, the faster you die.

Therefore, even if you are afraid to vomit bitterness, you have to bite the bullet.

Chapter 50 虚张声势

It has to be said that it is reasonable for the Qin army to arrange "strong women" in the defense and transportation.

Because defending the city is much easier than facing the enemy directly on the battlefield.

Just like what Shen Bing and others did at this time, they just used their strength to push the falling rocks, rolling logs, etc. down the top of the wall.

You don't even need to poke your head out, just push it wherever there is a siege ladder, and the Zhao army is densely packed below, so you can throw one at a time.

Shen Bing has always been surprised when watching movies in the past or in the future:

If cold weapon warfare is like in the movies, move an ordinary ladder and attack the city wall while shouting...

Why didn't the defenders cut off the ladder?

How about some more hits with a hammer?

Or two clothes forks, one on the left and one on the right, combined to overturn the ladder?

How about attacking a city?

You can drop as many bags as you want!

Only after witnessing the defense of the city in person did we know that this was not the case.

Of course, the siege ladder will not be an ordinary wooden ladder.

It's wider, thicker and stronger.

The first purpose is to facilitate the siege soldiers to stand and fight.

The second is to be able to withstand rolling stones and hurricanes, otherwise a few stones will be broken in two, and siege will become a joke.

More importantly, the end of the siege ladder near the city wall has been specially treated.

Hack it with a sword and axe?

Wrapped with several layers of cowhide, it took a long time to cut it, but there were only a few marks.

Hit it with a hammer?

The top is reinforced with a whole log as thick as a thigh, and it will continue to be smashed even if you are exhausted.

Push with a clothes fork?

There are a few metal barbs protruding from the front end, which are fastened firmly to the female wall. How can a clothes fork be pushed open!

Therefore, it is more reliable to deal with the attacking people.

Arrows and crossbows shot down like raindrops, and the crossbowmen used rolling stones to smash them down between loading crossbow arrows.

If Zhao Jun attacked the city wall, his armored soldiers would come forward and fight in close quarters.

Logistics, crossbowmen, armored soldiers, and even halberds, swords and shields, etc. have a certain degree of advance and retreat, and can move freely.

The cooperation with each other is not weaker than modern multi-arms coordination.

As long as there is a slight difference, the enemy will open the gap and expand the results of the battle.

After finally repelling a wave of Zhao Jun's offensive, Shen Bing and the others were so tired that they leaned against the city wall and gasped for breath.

He used to be a soldier, and he had gained something in the strategy of siege and defense.

He said happily:

"Thanks to the pulley block made by Gongcheng."

"It brings sufficient supplies for us."

"Otherwise, Rolling Stone and Lei Mu would have been used up long ago."

Although everyone agrees, they don't even have the strength to answer and rejoice at this time.

Even Shen Bing is no exception.

So what if you can keep it for a while?

It's just another life.

In the end, he will die under Zhao Jun's sword...

Sure enough, soon someone shouted in panic:

"Wei County is lost!"

"Northern goblins have crossed the Great Wall."

There was an uproar among the soldiers.

This almost sentenced Qin Jun to death.

Because the main force of the Zhao army is attacking from the front, and the weak parts on the side and rear are interspersed with northern goblin cavalry.

The Qin army's transportation line may soon be lost.

In a few days like this, the Qin army will face the situation of running out of ammunition and food, and it is only a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out.

At this time, Liu Xu hurried over, and as soon as she found Shen Bing, she said anxiously:

"It's broken, it's broken, and the two to five hundred masters are going to rebel again!"

It turned out that taking advantage of the gap between the wars, a group of two to five hundred masters began to "admonish" Yang Ting again.

Compared with ordinary soldiers and civilians, the five hundred masters and the two or five hundred masters in the Qin army tended to pay more attention to life and death.

The reason is that ordinary soldiers and civilians simply do not have the capital to "live and die" and "see benefits".

They are bound by the Qin law, especially the Lianzao system, and they must obey no matter what the order is.
