Daqin Engineers

Chapter 63

The reason why Wang Jian wanted to call Shang Lu Gong was because Lu Gong was a descendant of Lu Ban and he was skilled in craftsmanship.

Wang Jian hoped that Lu Gong could understand Chen Kui's remarks.

What Wang Jian didn't expect was that he didn't need idioms at all.

Chen Wei stepped forward and poured out everything he knew:

"Subordinates, see the general!"

"The subordinate is here to recommend a talent to the general."

"This person's surname is Shen Mingbing and he is currently an artillery engineer."

...

Wang Jian was not very interested in recommending talents, but his eyes widened as soon as he heard about it.

Could the secret path have something to do with the throwing fireball?

Sure enough, Wang Jian guessed it.

Chen Kui then said:

"This person is exceptionally talented."

"He first modified the trebuchet to increase its range to more than two hundred steps."

"Also modified flint bullets, linen, etc. for fire attacks..."

Wang Jian interrupted Chen Kui's words:

"You mean, the flint bullets you throw into the city at this moment were made by this person?"

Lu Gong's eyes widened, and he couldn't wait to ask:

"Improved the catapult to have a range of two hundred steps?"

"How to reform the law?"

Chen Kui arched his hands to the two of them, and then replied:

"Returning General, it is exactly what Shen Bing did."

"He just changed the manual traction to a counterweight, and then lifted the counterweight with the axle."

"It uses a few people to control the catapult and increase its power several times."

Lu Gong is a man who has been immersed in woodwork for a long time. At the beginning of his debut, he took the example of his ancestor Lu Ban and vowed to lead a party's craftsmanship.

And for many years have been seeking innovative production.

So when I heard Chen Wei's words, even though he didn't quite understand it, he guessed it would not leave ten.

Don't Wang Jian ask Lu Gong unbelievably: "Is what Chen Kui said is really feasible?"

Lu Gong thought for a while, then nodded back:

"Subordinates think it's true."

"And the fireball at the north gate..."

I don’t need to say more about the next thing. If this plan fails, what happened to the fireballs that North Gate hit the city one by one?

Chen Kui took the opportunity to add a fire:

"General Yang used this trebuchet to break the Zhangfu Great Wall."

"Not only that, the Shen Bing also offered a plan to attack Wo Niu Mountain."

"With less than a mere 10,000 people, he defeated Zhao Jun's 20,000 elite soldiers."

"Later, I used fire bombs to force Li Mu Jingqi back..."

This time it was Wang Jian's turn to be surprised secretly.

This is a question of tactics and strategy, and it is Director Wang Jian.

However, even if Wang Jian personally went into battle, it would be difficult for him to defeat Zhao Jun's 20,000 elite soldiers with a mixed army of strong women and soldiers.

In particular, the Shen Bing could force the plague god Li Mu back.

What Wang Jian didn't know was that Chen Kui didn't know much and couldn't talk about divorce.

Otherwise, if Wang Jian knew that he had beaten him several times, and he was convinced that Li Mu, who was terribly afraid of death, would have died at the hands of this unknown man, I don't know how he would feel.

Even so, Wang Jian was too excited.

There are such talents in the world?

Not only knows the way of woodworking, but also knows how to use soldiers?

Wouldn't it be possible to perfectly use woodworking equipment for siege land?

and many more……

How can Yang Duanhe not know how to use such talents?

So that Shen Bing is just an engineer at this time?

Who is Wang Jian? After a little thought, he came up with the answer:

It must be that Yang Duanhe didn't want him to know that he intentionally concealed it.

If it weren't for this Chen Wei's recommendation at this time, he still didn't know how long he would stay in the dark.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but "hum", feeling a little unhappy in my heart.

But think about it and feel relieved.

He always suppressed Yang Duanhe and transferred the people he could use. Isn't Yang Duanhe allowed to resist?

However, this Shen Bing must not be left to Yang Duanhe, otherwise Yang Duanhe would soon climb onto his head.

Thinking about it, Yang Duanhe immediately ordered the generals:

"Go and welcome that Shen Bing!"

"You go to meet you in person."

The general responded with "No" and took a few soldiers.

Obviously, the movie will not know what Wang Jian means by "welcoming".

Or knowing what it means but not paying attention to it.

Because he is Wang Jian's commander, when did he put other people in his eyes, he just drove a carriage and stopped beside the artillery and shouted:

"You wait but the artillery?"

"Who is Shen Bing, engineer?"

Shen Bing looked back and saw several chariots and a carriage.

Then I knew it was someone with identity who came up, and where would ordinary people ask for chariot escorts.

Shen Bing had no choice. He was almost escorted into a carriage, and then ran all the way, and soon stopped in front of a camp.

There is nothing particularly outstanding about the camp, but it is surrounded by fully armed guards.

At this time, Shen Bing knew that Wang Jian should be the one to see...

This can be seen from the number of guards: a general can have four thousand guards.

Four thousand, that can be said to be an army.

As mentioned before, the life and death of these guards are tied to the general.

If the general is killed in battle, his guards must be cut in all places.

It's just a small number, but four thousand...

Shen Bing couldn't imagine what it would be like for four thousand guards to die just because of one person.

Shen Bing was right. It was Wang Jian that he saw.

Although Shen Bing did not know Wang Jian, no one except Yang Duanhe and Wang Jian in Handan was qualified to wear general armor at this time.

This Wang Jian is about sixty years old, but he is full of vigor and grace.

Shen Bing didn't dare to look more, only glanced at it and bowed down and shouted:

"Shen Bing, artillery engineer, meet the general!"

Wang Jian was a little surprised when he saw Shen Bing, and asked, "You are Shen Bing?"

Shen Bing replied: "It is the subordinate!"

Wang Jian looked at Shen Bing and immediately laughed:

"I heard about your deeds, and I said that you should have a good time, but you don't want to be so young!"

"It's really young and promising, young and promising!"

"Come on, sit down!"

Shen Bing was a little nervous, after all, he was facing a generation of God of War, Wang Jian.

After thanking him, he hurriedly sat down at the desk on the left.

On the table were wine, fish slices (sashimi), beef and a small plate of tangerines.

Don't look at these few dishes that are very common in modern times, but in this era, they are only things that nobles can enjoy.

Especially beef...

During the farming period, cattle were the main labor force, so the people were strictly prohibited from killing cattle and eating beef, otherwise it would be a felony.

If this is someone else, the scent of beef wafts in front of you, even if you can hold it back, I'm afraid I will have to look at it more or swallow.

However, Shen Bing didn't feel much.

Wang Jian couldn't help but secretly praised, and he was really determined.

He didn't know that these gadgets were commonplace to modern people like Shen Bing, so they didn't have much appeal.

If Shen Bing is allowed to live through the miserable life for a few more months, I am afraid it will be different.

His own guards poured wine on Wang Jian and Shen Bing, and Wang Jianyao raised a glass to Shen Bing and said:

"I think the engineer already knows why this general asked the engineer to come here, right?"

"I, Wang Jian, have been thirsty for talents all my life, and I hope that the engineers can become my clients.

"Wang Jian will never treat you badly."
