Daqin Engineers

Chapter 50: Bluffing

I have to say that it makes sense for the Qin Army to arrange for "strong women" to go to battle in the defense and transportation.

Because defending the city is much easier than facing the enemy directly on the battlefield.

Just like what Shen Bing and others did at this time, they just used their energy to push falling rocks, rolling logs, etc. down the city.

You don't even need to stick your head out. Push it wherever there is a siege ladder. There are Zhao Jun densely underneath.

Shen Bing has always been strange when he was or will be watching a movie:

If the cold weapon warfare is like the movie filmed, if you move an ordinary ladder and shout and attack the city wall...

Why didn't the defenders cut off the ladder?

Can't you use a hammer for a few more shots?

Or two clothes forks, one left and the other right, to overthrow the ladder?

Then attack the city and attack a hairy?

You can fall as much as you want!

In reality, I learned that this is not the case when I witnessed the city.

Of course, the siege ladder will not be an ordinary wooden ladder.

It is wider, thicker and stronger.

One of the purposes is to make it easier for the siege soldiers to stand and fight.

The second is to be able to withstand the rolling stones and the wood, otherwise a few stones will break in two when they come down, and the siege will become a joke.

More importantly, the side of the siege ladder near the city wall has been specially treated.

Cut it off with a sword and axe?

Wrapped in several layers of cowhide, it was just a few marks after a long time.

Hit with a hammer?

The top is reinforced with a whole log thick thigh, which is constantly smashed to death.

Push with a clothes fork?

Several metal barbs protruding from the front end were fastened to the female wall, where the clothes fork can be pushed away!

Therefore, it is more reliable to deal with the attackers.

The arrows and crossbows are shot down like raindrops, and the crossbowmen use rolling stones to smash them down between loading the crossbow arrows.

If Zhao Jun attacked the city wall, he would have a soldier approaching melee.

Logistics, crossbowmen, armourers, and even halberdmen, sword-shieldmen, etc. advance and retreat with ease and ease.

The coordination between each other is not weaker than the modern multi-arms coordination.

As long as there is a slight difference, the enemy will open the gap and expand the result.

After finally repelling Zhao Jun's offensive, Shen Bing and several people leaned against the city wall and panted for breath.

Yan used to be a soldier, and had some gains in siege and defense strategies.

He rejoiced:

"Thanks to the pulley block made by Gong Cheng."

"It brings enough supplies for me."

"Otherwise, Rolling Stone and Lemu should be used up long ago."

Although everyone agreed, but at this time they didn't even have the strength to answer and rejoice.

Shen Bing is no exception.

What if you can keep it for a while?

It's just an extra life.

In the end, he will die under Zhao Junjian...

Sure enough, soon I heard someone cry out in panic:

"Wei County is down!"

"The northern goblin rider has crossed the Great Wall."

The soldiers were in an uproar.

This almost sentenced Qin Jun to death.

Because Zhao Jun's main attack was on the front, and the weak part of the side and the northern goblin ride was interspersed.

I am afraid that the Qin Army transportation line will soon be out of service.

Within a few days of this, the Qin army will face the situation of running out of ammunition and food, and the annihilation of the army is only a matter of time.

At this moment, the catkins hurried over and said anxiously when they found Shen Bing:

"Broken, broken, a group of two or five hundred masters are going to reverse again!"

It turned out that taking advantage of the gap in the war, a group of two to five hundred masters began to "admonish" Yang Ting again.

Compared with ordinary soldiers and civilians, the five-hundred masters and two-five-hundred masters in the Qin army are often more reborn and dead.

The reason is that ordinary soldiers and civilians simply do not have the capital to "regenerate life and death" and "see benefits."

They are bound by the Qin Law, especially the even-sitting system, and obey whatever order it is.

escape?

interest?

bargain?

nonexistent!

All they can do is don't think about anything and obey the order and it's over.

But Five Hundred Lords and Two-Five Hundred Lords are intermediate officers.

Many of them come from the second generation of the rich and the second generation of officials, and they have intricate forces and relationships in the country.

Or you can call them noble children.

Before Shang Yang's reform, these noble children didn't even need to join the army, and they could enjoy the glory and wealth at home.

However, after the reform of Shang Yang, it was stipulated that the children of nobles would have no titles and could not enjoy privileges if they did not make military merits.

This forced the children of the nobility to join the army like the common people.

Although they are still aloof, they are much more happy than before.

This is also the fundamental reason why Shang Yang was finally tortured for the car split:

Offending the powerful, and not one or two, is offending the entire elite class.

So when Qin Xiaogong, who supported Shang Yang, died, Shang Yang was not accidentally forced to death by Qin dignitaries.

Since these two or five hundred masters joined the army for profit, of course they were not willing to wait for death at the Great Wall.

"Lieutenant, the Northern Cavalry has captured Wei County, and the Great Wall is no longer defendable."

"If the troops are not withdrawn at this time, it will be too late for the northern cavalry to come to our side!"

"The school lieutenant said that there is a strategy to defeat the enemy, and it does not take three or five days to see the result..."

Zhang Xuan interrupted and said:

"It's only three days at this time, and it's not too late to say this after two days!"

Zhang Xuan was considered loyal, even if he knew that the divorce plan had failed, he stood firmly on Yang Ting's side.

But objectively speaking, what the two or five hundred masters said at this time still makes sense.

The Great Wall was no longer saved, and Yang Duanhe was not saved either. He stayed here just to die with them.

The battlefield has always been a realistic place.

There is no point in staying on.

A two-five-hundred master snorted, stared at Zhang Xuan angrily, and said:

"One time and another time."

"At this time Li Mu has already breached the Great Wall. If you wait two more days, how can there be a chance to retreat?"

Another two to five hundred masters agreed:

"This statement makes sense."

"If the captain can defeat the enemy, why can Li Mu break the Great Wall?"

"I wonder what the captain's method of defeating the enemy is?"

"You might as well say it, and I'll consider it later!"

Without waiting for Zhang Xuan to object, a group of two to five hundred masters shouted at Yang Ting in unison:

"Please think twice!"

Although this is polite, the name "think twice" is actually to force the palace.

Why would Yang Ting not know this, but she has nothing to say.

Divorce?

That has almost certainly failed.

For Yang Duanhe and the main force of the Qin army?

This is even more unreasonable.

At this moment, Shen Bing strode in and said:

"Let me explain!"

"You two or five hundred masters don't need to worry, we have already set up a divorce between Wang Zhao and Li Mu."

"It doesn't take two days for King Zhao to attack Li Mu."

"So, I will never withdraw my troops at this time!"

...

Yang Ting and Zhang Xuan couldn't help being stunned.

What's the situation?

Still come up with the divorce plan that has gone bankrupt?

But then think again:

Come on!

Only Yang Ting knew about the bankruptcy of divorce.

Why can't you say it?

Of course, we can't talk about bankruptcy, just talk about how to design and so on.

Two days later, even if these two or five hundred masters came to understand it, I'm afraid it would be too late.

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but glanced at Shen Bing with a terrifying look.

Nima, this guy is so cruel that he even deceives himself.

And also cheated so smoothly!
