Daqin Engineers

Chapter 97: The Wolf Is Coming

Nothing happened on the first day.

On the second day, a few weapon blades were found under a carriage. Several bandits fled when the incident was revealed, but they were shot to the ground by a gunner in three or two shots.

Although artillery artisans do not wear armor, they can still use crossbow arrows, otherwise they will not be able to guard the gates.

Ren brought a few guards forward and dragged the bandits back.

I was about to interrogate, but I didn't want them to take out their short blades from their arms and kill themselves.

He would be so hard-spirited, he was also a soldier of Zhao Jun before.

Something went wrong at night on the third day.

The soldiers on patrol found several black shadows turning over between the walls of the courtyard, and they were nowhere to be seen when they caught up.

This confirms that Shen Bing's concerns are right, and there must be bandits who have entered the city and intend to act by chance.

and……

These bandits are also familiar with the terrain and are protected by the people.

Wang Jian also understands.

He frowned and said to Shen Bing:

"Things don't seem right."

"The'propaganda offensive' of the engineers may be useful, but it is not useful for everyone."

"At least those bandits have been hidden among the people."

Shen Bing knew what Wang Jian meant.

The reason why the bandits were "lost" was because they were hidden in the houses.

In other words, someone took them in.

This problem is serious.

Moreover, people's hearts cannot be quantified, and no one knows whether Handan's people's hearts are more on Zhao's side or Qin's side at this time.

Or they didn't rely on either, just thinking about the food in Qin Jun's hands.

Shen Bing is confident about this:

"The general can rest assured that tomorrow's subordinates will arrest these gangsters and bring them to justice."

"And it will be much more than the soldiers can see."

"It's just that the subordinates are understaffed..."

Wang Jian replied without even thinking about it:

"I transferred a thousand-member team to the engineer's command."

"The engineer can do it cheaply."

Shen Bing responded, suddenly feeling a little nervous in his heart.

This is a thousand people, and they are all armored soldiers...Shen Bing has never commanded so many people.

But think about it, that is, it is only a thousand people, and a thousand people fighting with cold weapons is nothing at all.

When the thousand-man team came, Shen Bing was stunned to find that the two to five hundred masters who came to report were actually Zhang Xuan.

It is thought that Wang Jian knew that Zhang Xuan had met Shen Bing before, so it was easier to cooperate.

This did save Shen Bing a lot of effort, and Shen Bing immediately said to Zhang Xuan:

"I will divide the troops into five teams, each with two hundred people."

"Four teams are guarding the four corners of the wall, and the other team is placed in the center."

"Understand?"

Zhang Xuan responded: "Understand."

In fact, he didn't understand anything, so that dispersing the troops in the city could catch the bandits?

Shouldn't the catching bandits search door-to-door?

But Zhang Xuan didn't ask much, he knew Shen Bing had his own ideas.

It was night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the breeze was blowing.

The watchman was knocking on the gong while shouting, "Heaven is dry, watch out for fire candles."

When the guards drifted away, a tight gong suddenly sounded in the darkness, and then dozens of people shouted in unison:

"Handan old folks!"

"The people of Qin are cruel, they pit our soldiers and occupy our city."

"There are 10,000 tons of grain in the air, but let me wait and go hungry."

"When will you wait for it now?"

"Grab food and kill the enemy, welcome Zhao to the city!"

...

"Kill!"

Such shouts sounded from all street corners, and they seemed to be quite powerful.

In addition, several residential houses were burned, and the heads were full of flames for a while, and occasionally there were several clashes of gold and iron and screams.

In a short while, several residential houses opened their doors, and dozens of people shouted out from all directions...

However, when they broke out, they were stunned.

Where's the fight?

The rows of Qin soldiers standing outside the street were clearly waiting for them with their bows and crossbows.

I go, can this be fooled?

Just this IQ can still be a bandit?

Such a promising career is ruined in your hands!

Shen Bing stepped forward and shouted at the group:

"Put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise it will be a dead end."

Seeing that the situation is not good, the bandits quickly withdrew and retreated.

But at this time it was too late to retreat, and as soon as he turned around, he found that torches had been lit up behind him, and they were also a group of soldiers with bright armor.

The number of gangsters was small and most of them were holding farm tools. They were obviously not the opponents of the Qin army, who had been heavily armed for a long time.

So after hesitating for a while, he had to drop his weapons and surrender.

This happened not only in one place, but a similar scene was staged in the whole city that night.

Shen Bing didn't dare to play this a few days ago.

Just kidding, the people in Handan had a deep hatred of Qin Jun and were greedy for the grain in Qin Jun's hands.

If one is not good, it will become true.

But now, after a few days of "propaganda offensive", Shen Bing believes that the time has come.

So I came to lead the snake out of the hole...

It was Ye Qin Jun who caught more than three hundred celebrity bandits without any effort.

Of course, not all of these 300-odd bandits are bandits, and most of them are people who were persuaded by bandits.

Shen Bing was secretly surprised.

In just a few days, the bandits persuaded more than three hundred people, if they continue to develop...

But now there is no more.

When Wang Jian heard the news, he laughed "haha":

"The engineers and teachers are so talented, they can come up with this trick to draw the bandits into the net."

"In this way, even if the bandits in the city have not been rooted out, I am afraid they will not be far away."

Then there were some palpitations again:

"With such a call, more than 300 people responded."

"If it becomes a scale over time, I'm afraid..."

Then Chao Shen Bing nodded admiringly and said:

"Fortunately, the engineers have the foresight, otherwise Handan will be unimaginable."

Yang Duanhe reminded:

"General, the bandits in Handan are eliminated, but Julu and Taiyuan..."

Without thinking, Wang Jian ordered:

"No one will be out of the city tomorrow."

"Taiyuan and Julu counties will do the same tomorrow night."

Yang Duanhe responded and arranged.

Preventing people from leaving the city is because they are worried about the remnants of the bandits or the people spreading the news to the other two counties. This way, the strategy of attracting the snake out of the cave will not work.

After thinking about it, Wang Jian asked Shen Bing:

"Since the bandits have been removed, can I wait for the curfew to be lifted..."

Shen Bing replied:

"No, General."

"The subordinates thought that not only could the curfew be lifted, they would have to draw the snake out of the cave every other day."

Wang Jian asked puzzled:

"This trick to get the snake out of the hole can deceive people with the last time."

"How does reuse work?"

Shen Bing pretended to be unpredictable:

"I wonder if the general has heard the story of'The Wolf is Coming'?"

Wang Jian looked dumbfounded: "I have never heard of it."

Shen Bing got up, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and said:

"Once upon a time, there was a shepherd boy..."

After listening to this story, Wang Jian still didn't understand. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized:

"I'm waiting for the shepherd boy."

"If you call it so many times."

"One day when the bandits are really yelling for rebellion, the people will just ignore it as a trap!"

"Wonderful plan!"

"This'wolf is coming' is a bit smarter than the one that leads the snake out of the hole!"
