Daqin Engineers

I won't say a word about the result of this battle, the Qin army was defeated.

It's just that Zhao Jun intended to break through the siege rather than kill the enemy, so the Qin Army suffered little loss, only more than 300 casualties.

Even Zhang Xuan suffered some injuries...

The northern cavalry recognized Zhang Xuan and sent a team to surround him when he broke through.

If it weren't for the guards desperately guarding him, I'm afraid that he won't be able to return this time.

Zhang Xuan put his left arm in the wound and brought him back to the camp to return to Yang Ting.

Narrating the entire battle, Zhang Xuan said ashamed:

"The subordinates are incompetent. They are entrusted by the lieutenant. Please lieutenant for punishment."

Yang Ting didn't want to punish Zhang Xuan.

The reason is that although Zhang Xuan's command missed the battle and defeated, he finally achieved his goal...

Hand the letters and tokens to the northern cavalry without a trace.

Therefore, if the northern cavalry returned, it would become a headache.

I also need to think about how to get a few of them to steal the letters and escape back to Zhao.

It's better now, the northern cavalry rushed out with letters and fled towards Zhangshui...

As Zhao Jun has a strong local superior navy, Zhangshui is still under his control.

This is why Zhao Jun can intersperse behind the Great Wall.

It is conceivable that these northern cavalry must return to Zhao State through Zhangshui.

In other words, Zhang Xuan's action was perfect in terms of strategic objectives.

Not only should there be no punishment but also a reward.

However, Yang Ting changed his mind:

What if there are Zhao Jun spies in the army?

Or did Zhao Jun run away to inform the police?

Or did the leaking wind reach Zhao Jun's ears?

What would Zhao Jun think if he knew that Zhang Xuan had lost a battle, not only without punishment but with reward?

So Yang Ting's face sank and said:

"Zhang Xuan's weak command should be dismissed and investigated."

"Thinking that this time is our military service personnel, be responsible for the crime!"

"The officer who was above the leader was given three lashes as a warning!"

Zhang Xuan answered "No."

In fact, Yang Ting's whipping of Shichang and other low-level officers is not appropriate.

Because the war is at a tense moment at this time, these low-level officers will go to battle to kill the enemy.

Although three strokes of the caning are not serious, the pain on the back will affect the combat effectiveness.

However, Yang Ting's move was intentional.

Two thousand people means that there are dozens of officers of very length and above, and dozens of them were flogged at the same time...

This made it clear that it was meant to be called to Zhao Jun.

Soon, there was a blast of whip and the screams of the tortured officer in the barracks.

Soon the whole camp knew that Zhang Xuan and others were punished for letting the Northern Goblin ride away.

Even Wang Bai, who was under house arrest in the camp, learned of this from the conversation between the soldiers.

Wang Bai couldn't help shaking his head and let out a long sigh.

As a captain, he didn't know what to think.

Sometimes Wang Bai is thinking that if he committed suicide with a cruel heart, he can't die if he wants to die now.

Shen Bing is not so free over there.

As engineers, they are busy building fortifications on the Great Wall.

The Great Wall was originally defensive from the south, and there were many steps to the north for Zhao Jun to climb the city.

At this time, if Qin Jun wanted to use the Great Wall to resist Zhao Jun, he had to block or knock off these steps to make Zhao Jun impassable.

On the other hand, it is necessary to set up steps to make it easier for the troops to go up and down.

In addition, the wood, clay, stone, and arrows used to build the Great Wall will be transported to the wall.

These are not small projects and the Qin army is short of manpower, so that even the artillery must be involved.

But Shen Bing soon found a way to save effort...

In this era, transporting heavy objects is almost entirely dependent on manpower, that is, they are carried in baskets and carried on their shoulders.

Others have become accustomed to it, but Shen Bing can't stand it.

So began to toss the wheel again.

The difference from the previous one is that this time I brought ten craftsmen under the system.

Xun has long been accustomed to Shen Bing's "lazy" from time to time, so he has the right to let him go without seeing it.

Fatty Tun asked while tinkering:

"master."

"I'll wait for the modified wheels to carry heavy loads?"

"This wheel doesn't have to be pushed or pulled on the car..."

Shen Bing interrupted Fatty Tun's words: "Have you ever gotten water from a well?"

Fatty nodded and replied, "I have beaten him!"

Shen Bing asked again: "I must have used roller wheels, right?"

Fatty nodded again: "Of course I used it!"

Shen Bing patted the wheel that was almost assembled in front of him, and asked, "Then why don't you know that it can carry heavy objects?"

Fatty couldn't help being stunned.

It took a long time before he suddenly regained consciousness, widened his eyes and exclaimed excitedly:

"Master, the disciple understands."

"This wheel is the wheel, you just need to pull the rope to lift heavy objects like water!"

"just……"

Fatty looked ugly outside the wall.

It's no wonder that Fatty hesitated, the well was drawn straight up and down, but the wheel was in the city wall but there was a distance from the heavy objects under the wall.

This is also one of the reasons why lifting is not popular in this era.

Another reason is that even the primitive potter's wheel has just been invented...

It is said that the potter's wheel was made by Luban during the Spring and Autumn Period, only two hundred years ago.

This is actually very simple for modern people, just add a fixed pulley to the outer edge of the city wall.

However, at this time, how did the ancients know what fixed pulley.

At this time, Chen Wei walked up from the side gloating.

Chen Wei has been observing Shen Bing and his party in secret for some time.

Seeing that Shen Bing and the others were doing "small moves" again, he immediately wanted to step forward and reprimand him.

But then I thought:

"During this period of time, I have lost face before Shen Bing several times."

"First the catapult was improved and then there were hemp rope and fire bombs..."

"Hateful that Shen Bing wins every time."

"This makes him feel so embarrassed that he even has no face to face hundreds of craftsmen!"

"Don't rush forward this time, wait until you see it clearly."

"I must win a round to save face..."

So Chen Wei did not say a word, wandering around pretending to be an overseer, and at the same time pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movement of Shen Bing.

Until he heard that "Roller" saw Fatty embarrassed again, it was only a chance.

Immediately "haha" smiled and stepped forward.

"Do you think that transporting heavy objects on the city wall can be like a well wheel?"

"I tell you what Shen Bing has the ability to reach the sky, you don't want to be so dull."

"I didn't know that the rope would break after going down the wall a few times."

...

Shen Bing didn't explain, and waved to Fatty Tun, and he stuck a tripod slightly higher than the city wall with an axle and fixed it.

Throw the rope down again...

Cang had already met from below and tied it to the basket after receiving the rope.

Shen Bing gave an order: "Get up!"

Yan and Fatty turned the rear wheels left and right, and the weight slowly rose up along the city wall.

Chen Wei immediately dropped a few black lines on his forehead.

With the help of the fixed pulley, the rope does not have the "break" he said.

Chen Kui was ashamed to be able to hide his face in his sleeves and escaped in the laughter of the artisans:

"I should have waited for a while."

"Hate that Shen Bing is not possessed by Lu Ban?"

"Can these things be made?"

"And it's as easy as drinking water and eating..."
