Daqin Engineers

Chapter 49-Xuchang

On the first day, Yang Ting sent a group of spies.

In ancient times, warfare also emphasized information warfare, especially during the period when the divorce scheme was used.

Whether the letter has been delivered, whether Zhao Wang believes it, whether the situation has changed...every point may determine the outcome.

The spies sent by Yang Ting were divided into two groups.

One group went straight to Handan to find out the news.

The other group entered the dense forest or even mixed into Li Mu's army, hoping to find out a little bit of wind.

The former is relatively easy. After all, it is the capital city of Zhao Kingdom. You can enter the city by disguising yourself as a commoner or businessman.

The latter is much more difficult, especially Li Mu's Northern Soldiers. Apart from the others, the Northern Soldiers' unique military orders and contact information have stumped many spies.

Yang Ting "returns his body by his own way", she ordered the spies to enter the Zhao army disguised as a wounded soldier.

There will be news until the next day.

Handan is only more than 80 miles away from Cixian. If the spies ride in a carriage or horseback, they can go back and forth within a few hours.

Catkins happily ran to Shen Bing who was busy hoisting batches of heavy objects on the city wall and whispered:

"Miss asked me to tell you that the Northern Cavalry has returned to Handan."

"They were called into the palace to meet with King Zhao in the early hours of this morning."

"Your divorce plan is probably finished..."

It is not difficult to detect these news, and the Qin Jun spies can have a target.

For example, if you want to know whether the northern cavalry returns to Handan, you only need to guard the dock.

If you want to know whether the cavalry will meet or even when they will meet with King Zhao, you only need to look at the gates of the palace.

Of course, these do not need Shen Bing's concern.

Shen Bing pondered for a while, then replied:

"I'm afraid it's not necessarily, I can't wait a little bit before waiting until the last moment."

Catkins nodded and answered:

"That should be the case."

"The young lady has ordered the spies to continue to inquire, not even the pier."

Then the catkins gave a "Huh".

At first, she only saw a few people turning the wheels, so it was no surprise.

Seeing two baskets of stone bullets slowly rising along the city wall at this time, I couldn't help but wonder:

"What...what is this?"

"How can you lift heavy objects so quickly?"

Shen Bing was too lazy to answer, but raised his head towards the fat man.

Fatty knew it, and stepped forward and explained:

"This is the pulley block made by the master."

"As the masters saw, the stone bullets that originally required a dozen people to work together to lift them up."

"At this time only three or two people are enough."

"And faster."

Catkins nodded and praised:

"But it's a good thing."

"I will report to Lieutenant Ming to promote it throughout the army."

"You can save a lot of effort and effort."

Then he suddenly reacted with a "Huh" and looked at the fat man in surprise and asked:

"What did you call Shen Bing just now?"

Fatty Tun raised his chest with pride:

"Better made."

"Gong Cheng is the subordinate master."

"The gift of apprenticeship just given yesterday..."

Catkins immediately cast an expectant look at Shen Bing:

"Sir, how about another one?"

Several black lines could not help falling on Shen Bing's forehead.

What's this all about?

At this moment of the enemy, at the moment of life and death... all come to apprentice!

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

Shen Bing immediately realized it was bad news, otherwise Yang Ting didn't need to be so eager.

Sure enough, Yang Ting stepped forward and whispered:

"The guy in Xuchang is still alive."

"And has returned to Handan."

Shen Bing couldn't help but froze... Xuchang, the coach of Zhao Jun who was trapped in Wo Niu Mountain and thought he was burned to death?

It turns out that Xuchang was not burned to death, he took a group of guards and escaped from the cliff and vines.

After hiding in the forest for a few days, Qin Jun escaped by the mountain road after leaving Wo Niu Mountain.

After several setbacks, he just returned to Handan at this time.

Xuchang lives with little things.

Shen Bing originally planned to let Xuchang return to Zhao State alive.

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

But now and then.

Xu Chang is the commander of the First Army, and he knows best how Li Mu commanded the battle.

If Li Mu deliberately surrendered to the enemy, he would not turn his passivity into actively ordering Xuchang to attack the Qin Army's supply line.

If Wang Bai had the heart to surrender to Qin, he would not fight desperately and even eventually led a thousand men to break through.

Xu Chang knew clearly that Wang Bai surrendered when he was framed and forced to helplessly.

In this way, only Xu Chang had to say a few words in front of King Zhao, and Shen Bing's divorce plan would be declared bankrupt.

However, at this time, no one can do anything. They can't run to King Zhao to file a lawsuit, insisting that Li Mu is a collaborator!

So Shen Bing had no idea and could only take one step.

The atmosphere on the wall was very tense...

Other people who don't know are fine.

They knew that there were more losses and less losses in this battle, and they knew nothing about tactics, investigations, etc., so there was no big difference.

However, Yang Ting, Liu Xu, and Zhang Xuan are not the same.

This twists and turns is like a roller coaster ride.

At first he thought that he would be defeated, and then Shen Bing put forward a divorce plan and was full of hope, and then his hope was shattered because of the appearance of Xuchang...

Shen Bing hoped that he had never thought about this dilemma, so that he would not be disappointed after he had hope.

On the third day, the situation continued to deteriorate, and a large number of infantrymen of the Zhao army rushed to the Great Wall.

It seemed that it was in response to Yang Ting and others' speculation that Shen Bing was awakened by a burst of noise and vibration before the sky was still bright this morning.

When I walked out of the tent, I saw gravel and arrows flying around the wall.

Occasionally, a few rockets crossed the Great Wall and landed on the muddy ground ahead.

Fatty Tun ran to Shen Bing's side and reported:

"master!"

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

"It is said that there are more than 50,000 people, and beacon fires are lit everywhere!"

Shen Bing looked at it and saw black smoke everywhere on the beacon tower.

Shen Bing secretly said that this is about to end.

At this time, Qin's force in the Great Wall barely had 20,000.

Originally 20,000 did not suffer from Zhao Jun's 50,000.

After all, Qin Jun guarded the Great Wall and took advantage of it.

However, Qin Jun's 20,000 yuan was "tortured" by Li Mu's northern goblin rider and had no morale.

But Zhao Jun's fifty thousand is the fifty thousand who has just arrived on the battlefield.

In addition, Li Mu led the northern cavalry to harass, and the Great Wall could no longer be guarded.

Shen Bing didn't care if the Great Wall could not defend.

However, there are no eggs under the covering nest.

If Qin Jun completely defeats his Shen Bing, what will happen to him?

Prisoner of war?

slave?

Or directly become a headless corpse...

Shen Bing became more afraid as he thought about it. After returning to the account, he took the bronze sword and hung it on his waist. He waved at Fatty Tun and the others and ordered:

"Climb the city against the enemy!"

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

Sometimes the battlefield is like this.

It leaves no room for greed and fear of death.

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

The faster you lose, the faster you die.

Therefore, even if I was afraid of vomiting bitter water, I had to bite the bullet.
