Daqin Engineers

Chapter 17

Yang Ting did not express her position, she only glanced at the Qin General and asked:

"So in the opinion of two to five hundred masters..."

"How do you think I should defend against the enemy?"

Shen Bing's head buzzed.

I go, two or five hundred lord?

Isn't that Zhang Xuan, the immediate boss of the "Artillery"?

Qin Jun's system is quintal.

Five people, one five and ten.

Fifty people are called tutors, and one hundred people are called Baijiang.

Five hundred people are called five hundred masters, and one thousand is two-five hundred masters.

These two to five hundred advocates Xuan are Yang Duanhe's chief general of the 1,000 Qin army in Cixian.

Before Yang Ting took over the defense of the Great Wall, he was in charge of all affairs in the Cixian area.

Because Shen Bing is a small person with a status that can't be lower, so he only hears his name and never sees him.

"Master Xiaowei." Two-Five Hundred Xianzhang replied:

"From the point of view of his subordinates, Zhao Jun was only a sneak attack."

"Even if they go south along Zhangshui and Fushui, it will only take a few days."

"Supposedly there are not many troops, so why bother to ask the general for help if I wait?"

"Of course there is no need to show the enemy's weakness."

"Our army only needs to build walls to fill vacancies and rely on the Great Wall's natural dangers. Zhao Jun has thousands of troops and no return!"

As he said, Zhang Xuan held the sword in his hand and held his chest high, posing a majestic and confident look.

Yang Ting thought for a while, then nodded back:

"Two to five hundred masters are right."

"According to the spies, Zhao Jun may have 30,000 people."

"Our army also has 30,000 troops. It can be a battle."

Hearing what Yang Ting said, Zhang Xuan was even more confident.

"The school lieutenant said it was true."

"Zhao Jun is the siege party."

"Its strength is at least twice or even more than three times that of our army to gain the advantage."

"Otherwise, there will be no return!"

This is common sense in cold weapon warfare. The strength of the offensive and defensive sides should be equal to two to one.

Considering the Qin's fighting strength, three to one is also a normal estimate.

If calculated like this, it is far from enough for Zhao Jun's 30,000 people to win the Great Wall.

however……

Shen Bing didn't think it would be that simple.

Seeing that Shen Bing looked different, Yang Ting asked, "Cao Shi seems to have different opinions?"

Shen Bing nodded and replied:

"Master school lieutenant, the villain thinks that if we wait for passive defense, this battle will be defeated..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xuan glared at Shen Bing angrily:

"So courageous!"

"Have the enemy's ambition to destroy one's prestige!"

"You are not afraid that I will punish you for the crime of shaking your army?"

Shen Bing was so tired, how did he know so many rules in ancient times, and he was charged with accidentally.

It was only later that Shen Bing learned that the military spirit of cold weapon combat in ancient times was very important.

So things like "our army will be defeated" cannot be said, especially during wartime.

Fortunately, Yang Ting stood up to speak for Shen Bing:

"You don't need to stick to the subsections in extraordinary times."

"You are talking about why our army must be defeated."

"If it is reasonable, I will forgive you!"

Shen Bing hurriedly folded his hands and replied:

"School lieutenant, two to five hundred masters."

"One reason: the villain doesn't think that Zhao Jun has only 30,000 troops."

"Know that Zhangshui and Fushui are under the control of Zhao Jun."

"Unless our army sends a navy division to intercept, Zhao Jun can rely on the two rivers to continuously increase troops to the Great Wall."

"At that time, Zhao Jun will only have 30,000 people?"

Zhang Xuan glanced at Shen Bing unexpectedly and said:

"I will send a navy division to cut off the two rivers."

Shen Bing doubted this.

"Can it be completely cut off?"

"Even if it's night, you don't miss a boat and a boat?"

Zhang Xuan was speechless.

If it’s daytime, it’s fine, but it’s almost impossible to keep one boat at night.

And one boat and one ship can transport hundreds of soldiers or large quantities of military rations.

So Shen Bing was right, and Qin Jun had to face more than 30,000 Zhao Jun.

Yang Ting asked with a serious face, "So what about the second?"

Shen Bing continued: "Second, how many strong men and women are there in our army of 30,000 people?"

This asks the point again.

Yang Ting's "30,000 troops in the Qin Army" included the strong women she led.

Food is very tight in this era, especially the frontline military rations.

Even the noble priest like Shen Bing just barely got enough.

Not to mention the strong women who are responsible for second-line transportation, mostly without titles.

This is not a discrimination against female soldiers, but an objective reality and a physical problem of men and women.

Yang Ting replied somewhat helplessly:

"More than 6,000 of them are strong women under my system."

"Only two thousand of them have training or combat experience."

"If it's against Zhao Jun, it's really powerless."

Shen Bing nodded, the situation seemed better than expected.

He originally thought that at least 10,000 were strong women who were unable to fight or auxiliary arms with poor combat effectiveness.

"The most important thing is the third..."

These words shocked Zhang Xuan and Yang Ting.

They thought that the previous two points were enough, but they didn't expect that there would be a third point.

And the third most important point...

Shen Bing did not notice the weird expressions on their faces, and said to himself:

"As I said before two to five hundred words, it is more advantageous for the two armies to fight the defending side!"

"The villain thinks that for the Great Wall, if Zhao Jun uses it properly, it should be more advantageous to the attacker!"

Zhang Xuan immediately laughed:

"Nonsense!"

"The old man has for decades, and he has never heard the saying that the attacker is more favorable!"

"You were scared by Zhao Jun, right?"

Shen Bing was not angry either, he looked around, picked up a discarded bamboo stick and placed it on the table, explaining:

"Please look at the two or five hundred masters."

"This is the Great Wall. It is about four hundred miles long, and every place needs to be fortified."

"In other words, 30,000 people in our army need to line up for defense in these four hundred miles."

"In this way, there are only seventy-five people per mile."

"There are only seventy-five people in each mile!"

"The Zhao army's 30,000 troops can concentrate on one attack."

"Even if our army has the Great Wall natural danger and can block ten by one, how can seventy-five men be able to block 30,000 Zhao Jun?"

Hearing that Zhang Xuan and Yang Ting couldn't help being stunned on the spot.

After hesitating, Zhang Xuan objected again: "Our army is located on the Great Wall and can support each other!"

Shen Bing shook his head:

"How about being able to support each other?"

"If Zhao Jun attacks Cixian today, he will attack Anyang tomorrow!"

"Isn't the Great Wall full of loopholes and dangers everywhere?"

Zhang Xuan immediately had nothing to say.

Defensive is greater than offensive, is the deep-rooted thinking of the ancients.

In fact, they cannot be blamed, because at least on the surface it seems that defense is indeed greater than offense.

Even in modern times during World War II, the French still thought so, so there was the Maginot Line.

Until the German army broke this myth with a highly mobile dynamic attack.

The world’s talents were stunned to discover that it turns out that offense is more often than defense.

Therefore, if Zhang Xuan abandons Shen Bing's "show the enemy to be weak", adopt passive defense.

Then Qin Jun might really be over.
