Daqin Engineers

The Great Wall of Zhao collapsed on the fifth day.

This surprised Shen Bing. He originally estimated that it would take at least a week.

After all, the catapult fired stone bullets, not artillery bullets.

The Zhao Great Wall has also undergone a century of widening and reinforcement, and it is not comparable to an ordinary wall.

However, Shen Bing didn't think much about it, only that Qin Army's previous offensive caused some damage to the Great Wall.

As soon as there was a gap in the Great Wall, the soldiers of the Qin Army shouted like a flood of questions.

Suddenly, a knife, light, sword and shadow flew across.

Although the gap is still easy to defend and difficult to attack with only more than ten moves, it is better than using a siege ladder to attack the city.

In addition, the morale of the Qin army is flourishing, but Zhao Jun was taken in the Qin army's sling cart and his heart was broken.

However, within the time of a stick of incense, the Qin Army breached the other side of the Great Wall.

Then there was nothing to stop them.

The soldiers of the Qin Army chased Zhao Jun and slashed like a tiger into a flock of sheep. Zhao Jun’s screams and wailing were everywhere.

The engineers Shen Bing followed behind the troops and advanced.

Engineers are the guarantee for troops to advance smoothly or maintain combat effectiveness.

For example, the army needs someone to build roads and bridges, and the equipment needs maintenance and replacement.

The "Cannon Man" is mainly to maintain the catapult, and when necessary, it is necessary to log and build on the spot to ensure the number of catapults.

Crossing the Great Wall, the scene before Shen Bing's eyes could not be described as an exaggeration.

Death and blood was in the air.

The corpses were piled up and down, all headless.

Qin Jun judged merits with the enemy's first rank, that is, "the one who wins the first rank will be promoted to the first rank."

Therefore, the Qin army will often take the enemy's head immediately after killing the enemy and tie it around the waist to continue killing the enemy.

So Qin Jun passed by, leaving mostly headless corpses.

These corpses lay irregularly on the ground, their limbs stretched out weakly, like a fowl that was beheaded and abandoned.

The blood flowing from the neck soon stained the soil on the ground, gathering more and more.

Soon a small stream was integrated, and then it merged into a river.

Soon the low-lying land was not sewage, but puddles of blood.

Shen Bing's abdomen couldn't help being overwhelmed.

He originally wanted to force it down.

But when he saw Cang and the others rummaged through the corpses to find the head of the "missing net" and cut it down.

I couldn't help but spit it out with a "wow".

Xun looked at Shen Bing with some weird eyes and asked.

"It's not your first time on the battlefield, why..."

"I'm fine!" Shen Bing explained: "I just have some discomfort in my body!"

Xun said: "You should also look for the first level. This is a rare opportunity for me to wait!"

This is indeed a rare opportunity, because the "gunner" usually shoots at the enemy far away.

As the so-called "wealth and wealth are sought in insurance".

Although this is relatively safe, it is even more difficult to obtain the enemy's "first".

Shen Bing hurriedly shook his hand and refused. Just when he wanted to speak, the scene of the head being broken flashed in his mind and he leaned over and vomited again.

Following Shen Bing's state, he no longer reluctantly drew out the bronze sword to join the ranks of the headhunting.

Shen Bing never thought that the battlefield was like this.

Even the death of these people can be said to be related to themselves...

If he hadn't improved the trebuchet himself, Yang Duanhe would not have broken the Great Wall until a few months later.

At that time, Li Mu was dead and Zhao Jun's defeat was set.

But now...

The corpses all over the floor made Shen Bing feel that he couldn't even move forward.

Perhaps it was Shen Bing's idea.

Before long, Xun was ordered to stay in place.

Their task was to close the gap in the Great Wall that they had broken through with a trebuchet.

This obviously makes sense.

Because the Qin Army continued to advance, the location of the Great Wall became an important spot for the Qin Army's logistics supply line.

The Great Wall can attack and retreat and defend.

As long as it is ensured that the Great Wall is under the control of the Qin Army, the security of logistics can be basically guaranteed.

Otherwise, the connection between Yang Duan and the hundreds of thousands of troops and the rear will be cut off from here.

Therefore, repairing the Great Wall and organizing effective defenses became the top priority.

Shen Bing did not know the arrangement in other directions. Yang Duanhe left two engineering troops and more than a thousand Qin troops stationed in the direction of Cixian.

Shen Bing didn't have much leisure time to care about these, because he was busy building the Great Wall with others.

If there is any good thing, it is that Shen Bing and Cang were promoted to "sergeants" after the war.

Gongshi’s treatment was a new bronze sword, and the food was changed from millet porridge to millet rice.

The latter can make Shen Bing barely full, while the former is dispensable for Shen Bing.

The bronze sword used to cut the head?

Shen Bing hopes he will never use it!

Cang was so happy, he happily said to Shen Bing while playing with the bronze sword:

"Do you know how many men among the hundred artillery men?"

"But more than ten people!"

"There are two more people today, you and my brother!"

"In addition to the military rewards, the family will get a field, a house, and a servant!"

"God treats me not badly!"

"Brother, I need you to take care of you in the future!"

...

Shen Bing just snorted, thinking that Cang had a bit of eyes, knowing that he could get dazzled with Shen Bing.

In fact, not only Cang knew this, other craftsmen and even soldiers seemed to know this.

This is easy to understand.

Shen Bing can transform the trebuchet.

The trebuchet can win.

Victory will save their lives and bring them credit.

With credit, there is a title.

With a title, everything...

So everyone, including those soldiers who usually coaxed in front of the craftsmen, looked at Shen Bing's eyes somewhat differently.

Of course, envy, jealousy and hatred are indispensable in these different eyes.

Chen Kui is a typical one.

But Shen Bing is not in the mood to care about these now.

What if you have a title?

What if there is a reward?

What if there is approval?

Don’t you want to work hard here, or go to the battlefield with your head on your waistband?

Just as Shen Bing was complaining about the sky and you, a pouring rain suddenly fell.

The intensive rain hit the head and it hurts.

Shen Bing turned his gaze to Xun, hoping that he could order shelter from the rain and finish work.

Unexpectedly, he shouted without thinking about it:

"Keep on working!"

"The general ordered me to wait three days to fill the gap!"

"If the construction period is missed, my life will not be guaranteed!"

Everyone responded in unison in the rain: "No!"

Then I got busy in the rain.

The bitterness in Shen Bing's heart...

But this seems to be impossible.

Speed ​​is the most important thing in war.

If the Great Wall is not repaired because of rain, it will be late when the enemy arrives.

In desperation, Shen Bing could only gritted his teeth again and picked up a stone and threw it into the basket.

What they have to do is to clean up the chipped gravel and dirt.

Then lay the foundation.

Finally, a new wall was built on the foundation.

Otherwise, if you build a wall on a pile of rubble, I'm afraid the enemy will stand in front of you and shout a few times and the wall will collapse.

When everyone was busy, a convoy of supplies passed by and headed north.

Because of the weight of the supplies, plus a steep slope behind the city gate.

The carriage went up several times and retreated because of the slippery road on a rainy day.

It was so lively that people pushed their horses at once.

Shen Bing began to gloat for misfortune, at least not just because they suffered in the rain.

But I didn't expect that in the next second, a female general in leather armor broke through the rain and screamed:

"You wait to help!"

Shen Bing's first reaction was...

Are women also serving as soldiers in this era?

Can not only be a soldier but also an officer?
