Daqin Engineers

So Shen Bing became Gong Cheng.

Gong Cheng is a small official, a very small official.

Small enough to have only ten craftsmen.

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

Despite this, Shen Bing took all the limelight this time.

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

This was the first problem Shen Bing encountered, but it certainly didn't trouble him.

Shen Bing immediately thanked Xun.

"Master is here, please be respected by the disciple!"

"Apprentice is fortunate to take up the position of worker today, and it depends on the teacher's teaching!"

Xun was stunned when he heard this.

It is true to say that teaching is true, but the use of the word "all depends" is a bit exaggerated.

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

Shen Bing looked at Xun's expression naturally, and then explained:

"Master often worry about manpower launching stone bullets!"

"Say that this manpower launching stone bullets has many shortcomings!"

"For example, if thirty people don't use their power at the same time, they are bound to be weak!"

"The weak will be dangerous, and you may even hurt yourself!"

...

Xun couldn't help but nodded.

This is indeed what he usually said.

It's just that the direction is not the same. That was what was said when training Gonglichen to launch stone bullets together.

But of course no one will go into these details.

"So that's it!" Shen Bing concluded:

"Affected by the master, the disciple wondered whether he could use counterweights instead of manpower!"

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

"All I need is to lift the counterweight!"

Speaking, Shen Bing bowed deeply to Xun Shen.

"Tui'er is fortunate to live up to the mission, and finally fulfilled the master's wish!"

"So naturally there is a master for this credit."

"Waiting for the disciple to report to General Ming..."

Where did Xun dare to let Shen Bing do this, and hurriedly stopped:

"Hey, what do you and me, the teacher and the apprentice, divide?"

"Are the masters greedy for vanity?"

"You can understand these principles from my teachings, and it is also your good fortune!"

"It's rare that the general entrusted him with important tasks, and in the future he should do his duty and serve Daqin!"

Shen Bing hurriedly gave a big gift.

"Respect the teacher's teaching!"

Xun became more and more satisfied with this apprentice, and he replied beautifully while brushing his beard lightly:

"Ruzi can teach! Ruzi can teach!"

It was a picture of "respect by teachers and wise and disciples, near and far away," moved so that everyone nearby nodded in praise with tears.

At this time, Cang came out and asked:

"Master, when did you teach this?"

"I do not know how?"

Xun's expression changed, he glanced awkwardly around him and said angrily:

"eventful!"

"I said you guy is really getting less and less motivated!"

"Look at people, and learn from military science if you have time!"

Cang:...

Zhao Jun on the other side, at this time, was full of joy because of Qin Jun's postponement of attack.

It is Zhao General Pang Nuan who is stationed at the Zhao Great Wall.

This Pang Nuan is said to be Zhao's veteran or Zhao's new player.

Said to be a veteran, because Pang Nuan is now eighty to five.

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

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

Li Mu is the only one who can fight in the whole country, but he has to station at the northern border.

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

It's just that Pang Nuan is also struggling. Although he is old, he is quick-thinking and strong. Since he took over as the commander-in-chief, he has won several battles and even organized a six-nation attack on the Qin alliance.

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

At this time, the Qin army slowed down, and the generals congratulated Pang Nuan:

"Congratulations to General, the Qin Army suffered heavy casualties, I'm afraid he will retreat in a few days!"

"If there are generals guarding the Great Wall, how can there be the madness of the Qin army?"

"The general's meritorious service adds another sum!"

...

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

Only Pang Nuan frowned and said nothing.

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

Pang Nuan shook his head and replied:

"If the Qin Army continues to attack the city, I am not worried!"

"After all, the wall of the Great Wall is strong and thick, and I am waiting and prepared enough. Qin Jun has three heads and six arms, but it's hard for me! It's just..."

Xuchang is a little strange.

"If it is three-headed and six-armed, it would be hard for me. Is it possible that Qin Jun can fly over the Great Wall with wings?"

Pang Nuan sighed and said:

"Qin Jun was blocked by General Li Mu in the north, and he must urge Yang Duanhe to attack on the south."

"So Yang Duanhe has not interrupted his offensive for more than 30 consecutive days!"

"This is Yang Duan Heshi's tired army policy, so I can't rest and rest!"

"But at this time Qin Jun suddenly didn't attack... There must be a coincidence in this matter!"

When Pang Nuan said so, Xuchang also felt that something was wrong.

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

Zhao Guo has suffered from natural disasters recently, first of which was a large-scale earthquake.

From the west of Lexu, north to Pingyin, most of the walls of buildings and terraces were destroyed by the earthquake.

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

"The Zhao Ren cried, the Qin laughed, if you don't believe it, look at the grass!"

Under this circumstance, the best way to attack the Great Wall of Zhao is to use continuous offensive to consume Zhao army's viable strength and supplies.

Once the Zhao army's strength or the succession of food and grass is weak, it is time for the Qin army to break the city.

Therefore, the Qin Army will not stop the offensive if it is not necessary.

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

After thinking about it, Xu Chang said again:

"Or the general worried too much!"

"The Qin Army's laboring division is inadequate in expedition supplies and troops!"

"It is said that Yang Duanhe was also injured the day before yesterday!"

"If you don't attack at this time, it's because you are unable to sustain it!"

The other generals also nodded in agreement.

"Once I wish so!" Pang Nuan simply replied in four words.

At this time, a spy flew to report:

"General, the Qin army is gathering in the Cixian area to cut wood and make artillery!"

Pang Nuan couldn't help but lifted his spirits when he heard this, and stood up and asked, "Is that true?"

"Sure enough!"

Pang Nuan could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Xu Chang didn't understand, Pang Nuan explained:

"I said that Qin Army has any tricks, if it's just cutting wood and making artillery..."

"My Great Wall took more than a hundred years to achieve success. How can a few catapults in the Qin Military Region be able to deal with it?"

Pang Nuan does have the capital to rest assured.

Because Zhao Great Wall was built in the 17th year of Zhao Suhou (333 BC) as Pang Nuan said.

For more than a hundred years, it has continued to improve and broaden its indestructibility. Later, a catapult was added to the city wall, which can keep the enemy out of range.

It is conceivable that if Qin Jun tried to attack the city with a catapult, he would be restrained everywhere and returned without success.

Xu Chang and the others didn't feel threatened, they just slapped Pang Nuan and gave up.

However, no one has ever thought that the problem lies with the catapult.
