Daqin Engineers

Chapter 62

In ancient times, the wooden houses in the city were usually connected one after another and one row after another, so they were the most vulnerable to fire.

This is the reason why arsonists were often punished with felonies in ancient times.

At night, the shifters often call out "beware of fire candles" while reporting the shift to remind fire prevention at all times.

Of course, the situation in Handan at this time cannot be solved by "careful fire candles".

Handan originally had protection against "fire" from outside.

It's just that the previous protection was to deal with rockets.

The rocket shot into the city from outside the city to the sky.

So no houses were built within fifty steps of the city wall.

Another advantage of this is that the terrain is open to facilitate the deployment of troops, condemnation and deployment of materials.

But today is different.

Qin Jun uses a trebuchet, and its range is more than a hundred steps longer than that of a rocket.

And it's a linen fire bullet. It's light, flexible, and catches fire quickly.

After being thrown into the city, he bounced around and burned everywhere.

It's really...a must-have for home travel and arson.

But after a while, Handan, where the curfew was originally imposed, was unusually quiet and messed up like boiling water.

Shouting, splashing water, exclamation...

At this time, Yang Duanhe took the opportunity to command the soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the city.

Suddenly, the fire was blazing and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Seeing the group of soldiers attacking the city wall like ants in the night, Shen Bing couldn't help but sigh again for the benefits of being in the artillery.

What Shen Bing didn't know was that his trouble did not come from Handan in front, but from behind him...

Artillery craftsmen welcomed Shen Bing as an engineer.

This is not only because of Shen Bing's previous ability and wisdom, but more importantly, interests.

The greatest benefit is "collective argumentation."

The "collective judgement" can be said to be another advanced feature of the twentieth military merit system of the Qin Dynasty.

Before Shang Yang's reform, most of the credit was given to the generals.

This obviously has many problems:

For example, the generals, regardless of the casualties of their subordinates, can use the corpses of their subordinates to fill in for victory and merit.

For example, the subordinates understand that victory and credit have little to do with them, so the morale of life-saving is low.

If the merits are collectively discussed, these problems will not exist.

Each battle is not just a simple victory, but also the loss of one's own side is less than the number of kills to be credited.

This forced the generals to find ways to preserve the lives of their subordinates.

This in turn will unite the subordinates to fight the enemy courageously and form a virtuous circle.

Therefore, Shen Bing persuaded more than a hundred cavalrymen to subdue the credit, which is not without benefits.

The subordinates who received the credit would be grateful to Shen Bing for this, and the craftsmen who received no credit would hope to be included in the Shen Bing system.

As a result, Shen Bing quickly received the support of everyone: Believing that Shen Bing won the title.

What's more, Shen Bing has repeatedly tried to save the Qin army from danger and invented new things...

Under this circumstance, Shen Bing did not take over as the engineer, I am afraid that some people would not want it.

Even Shen Bingjue was "no change" and some people worried that he would return home.

If this makes Shen Bing go, where can they find this plug-in-like "training"?

Not only the artillery, but also other artisans with the army, such as the blade division, the weapon division, the siege division, the defense division, etc., are staring at the position of the gunner.

If it weren't for the limitation of household registration, even the soldiers would want to squeeze in the artillery...

In the past, Jiashi's prestige was because of the fast promotion.

Nowadays, the artillery is not only about to be promoted, but also less dangerous, so it is naturally what everyone expects.

However, it is said that "the tree attracts the wind", Shen Bing's promotion so fast will naturally violate the interests of some people.

Chen Wei is one of them.

In other words, the title of Chen Kui is no different.

It's just that Chen Kui inherited the hairpins from three generations.

In addition, he has worked hard in the army for more than 20 years before he reached his position today.

At this moment, seeing Shen Bing easily rise to the same title as him, his mind was naturally unbalanced.

It's all about being unbalanced.

Chen Kui think about it.

Shen Bing took the position of Xun as an engineer in just one month. Then one day he would not take his place as a husband?

The scene of being driven out of the gunner yesterday is still vivid.

Although Chen Wei is not as old as Xun, he has no injuries.

However, these days of doing nothing gave him a strong sense of crisis:

This Qin Jun does not raise idlers!

With this Shen Bing, his husband becomes an idler.

Is that far from being inferior?

Therefore, in order to preserve his identity and status, he must get rid of the threat of Shen Bing.

However... how to eradicate this threat?

Accused?

Not to mention that Shen Bing could not find the flaw in the crime of rapist.

After finding the flaw, Shen Bing was highly used by generals and lieutenants.

Assassination?

Let alone whether it can succeed.

Even if it succeeds, I'm afraid that the generals and lieutenants will not give up.

When the time comes, the investigation will continue, I am afraid that I will lose my life.

Not only is his own life insecure, but even his family is more likely.

Never make it impossible.

Comparing Shen Bing by hand?

This is even more nonsense.

That Shen Bing always innovated and found new ways.

No matter what problem is in his hands, he can always solve it easily.

Chen Wei walked around in the tent, even though he was so sad, he couldn't think of a feasible solution.

Suddenly an idea:

"Hey!"

"If you can't get rid of it, why not do the opposite and recommend it?"

"General Wang Jian always transfers talents from General Yang's Department."

"If this Shen Bing is recommended to the general..."

Thinking about it, even Chen Wei himself was moved by being able to come up with such a trick.

In this way, instead of being a villain, I can make contributions by recommending talents.

At the same time, Shen Bing can be removed from the artillery...

So, what can Shen Bing do even if he flies in Wang Jian's department?

I can still do whatever he wants in Yang Duanhe.

Maybe, after a few years, Shen Bing will still be grateful to himself for it!

So Chen Kui no longer hesitated.

Immediately, they ordered people to get on their carts and leave the camp to head straight towards the Xiying where General Wang Jian was.

At this time, Wang Jian was shocked by the fireballs from the north of the city.

Wang Jian also heard that Yang Duanhe had won the battle against Zhao Jun in Wo Niu Mountain.

He only said that it was an ordinary rocket attack.

Only then did I realize that this was not the case.

As a result, a lot of doubts circulated in Wang Jian's mind immediately:

What is the fireball made of?

Or what projectile?

It is more than a hundred steps to cross the city wall and enter the city...

If this is going to the four directions outside of Handan, how lucky is Handan?

However, if the fire at the North Gate cannot be controlled, I am afraid that the city will be broken!

Let Yang Duanhe come to the top again.

At this time, the Ministry will make an account and report:

"General."

"Chen Kui, the husband-in-law under General Yang's system, would like to see you."

Wang Jian couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this.

"Hurry up!"

"Hurry up and call Shang Lu Gong to come!"
