Daqin Engineers

Everything went according to normal procedures.

First, logging...In other words, this ancient forest is still well protected.

Or it can’t be said that the forest is well protected, but in ancient times, the population was less demanding for nature than in modern times, so forests were scattered everywhere.

But what is strange is that even if there are trees nearby, Shen Bing still took the artillery to go upstream for more than two miles before ordering the logging...

This is actually causing trouble for myself.

If the logging location is too far away from the bridge construction site, there will be an additional process of hauling the timber down.

But the artillery craftsman didn't say anything, Shen Bing ordered them to draw axe, see-saw the saw, and soon cut down a large pile of wood.

According to past practice, it is not difficult to transport these timbers across the river.

All you need to do is to split the side branches of the wood, bundle a few into a bundle and throw it into the river, and then drag it by the hemp rope on the opposite bank.

But this time the artillery's approach was different.

Because Shen Bing gave the order:

"Take all the wood into logs, horizontally and vertically, and then horizontally and vertically."

"It's all tied up until you can ride. Understand?"

The craftsmen responded in unison.

They only said that Shen Bing was delaying time.

But after thinking about it, I don’t think it’s right. How can I complete the task if I delay time?

If you cannot complete the task, you will inevitably be punished...

But the craftsmen just think about it, they still follow Shen Bing's orders.

More than a hundred people worked together, but in one hour, more than 20 square logs were set up.

Then they made some preparations as ordered by Shen Bing.

Shen Bing's preparations were also strange, he first put the logs under the felling and then stretched forward to the river.

In addition, I prepared something like door panels tied with small logs.

When it was almost ready, there was movement in the location of the bridge downstream...One by one fireballs and rockets rose into the sky and crossed the river, followed by a burst of fire and screams.

It turned out that Yan Jun had already prepared.

To be precise, Zhao Jun was prepared.

If you go into more details, Sima is still prepared.

Sima Shang sent people around to inquire about the trebuchet used by Qin Jun when he fled with Zhao Jia to Daiguo.

So of course I knew how to make a new counterweight trebuchet, and I also knew the linen bomb used to attack Handan.

At this time they were just used to prevent the Qin army from crossing the river.

As Sima Shang said:

"If there is a trebuchet guarding the river, how can I wait for the Qin army to build the bridge?"

"I only need to spread the eyeliner to find the position of Qin Jun's bridge, and the wooden bridge will be turned into powder as soon as a stone bounces over it!"

Sima Shang even suggested that the Qin Army build the bridge intentionally, and wait for half of the Qin Army to cross the river before launching an attack to destroy the bridge...

This is indeed a good plan.

This is because the Yan Dynasty coalition army has less than 200,000 people, while the Qin army sent only 100,000 people to pursue them.

Another 60,000 people will stay in the three prefectures that are still unstable.

If these 100,000 Qin troops only crossed half of the river, they would be surrounded by the Yan Dynasty coalition...

On the one hand, morale was greatly reduced, and on the other hand, there was no retreat. It was a matter of minutes to be defeated by the Yandai coalition forces.

However, Yan Wangxi was already scared by Qin Jun, so how dare he let Qin Jun cross the river easily?

So only agreed that the first half was to hit the bridge with a catapult.

Then there was the current situation... Qin Junqiao was bombarded by Yan Jun catapults before it was built.

Shen Bing confessed that he boarded the carriage and hurried towards the camp.

A rudimentary wooden bridge was built a long way away, which had long been smashed into disarray and set ablaze.

The craftsmen and soldiers wanted to go forward to put out the fire, but they were severely smashed back by a stone bomb, rocket and fire bomb.

For a while, there were fires everywhere, and many soldiers of the Qin Army were ignited and screamed.

Shen Bing didn't let the coachman stay, and drove the car all the way to Yang Duan and Shuai Zhang.

At this time, Yang Duanhe was walking around like an ant on a hot pot in the handsome tent.

Obviously he knew that Chen Wei's plan to build the bridge had failed.

Even at this time, he was no longer worried about whether he could cross the river at dawn, but the question that Qin Jun would stop here.

The reason is simple. If Yan Jun prepares enough trebuchets, Qin Jun will not be able to build the bridge, and of course he will not be able to cross the river to pursue it.

So Qin Jun could not get enough rations...

At this moment, Shen Bing walked into the tent and arched his hands to Yang Duanhe:

"General..."

When Yang Duanhe saw Shen Bing, he interrupted Shen Bing with a "hum":

"Our army has been fighting the Yan army in full swing, but you are only here now!"

"According to the husband, he ordered the artillery to cross the river and build the bridge, but you haven't left until then?"

"Does it mean to delay time?"

Shen Bing replied:

"General Mingjian, his subordinates did not intentionally delay time, but built a bridge two miles upstream!"

Yang Duan didn't fight with anger and then scolded:

"Although the engineers have done countless merits, they can't be so greedy for life and fear of death!"

"It was Chen Wei who went to the battlefield to build the bridge with the craftsman."

"And you are still building upstream..."

"What? What did you say?"

Yang Duanhe looked at Shen Bing incredulously.

Shen Bing could only repeat it once:

"According to the general, his subordinates secretly built a bridge two miles upstream."

"Because the Yan Jun has many eyes and ears, his subordinates are worried that they will be intercepted by the Yan Jun's knowledge, so they have not informed them first!"

"Please forgive me..."

At this time, Yang Duanhe could not care about what is not guilty, and immediately came up and grabbed Shen Bingdao:

"Really?"

"Did you really build a bridge upstream?"

Shen Bing replied:

"Subordinates don't dare to make false statements. The general can bring soldiers and horses with them."

"At the moment, you can tell the truth at a glance."

"then……"

Then there is no need to say anything. When Yan Jun's attention was still attracted by the wooden bridge, Qin Jun had already crossed the river upstream without knowing it and landed in formation.

In other words, Shen Bing thought of this situation from the beginning.

It is impossible to build a bridge in place as simple as Chen Wei said, and it is impossible for Qin Jun to cross the river so smoothly.

Even if you can build a floating bridge, it's dangerous.

The pontoon will sway up and down, there is only a narrow road.

What if Yan Jun puts up a formation on the opposite side and waits?

Isn't that going up to a team and being killed, and then going up to another team and killing another team, when will it be the head?

What's more terrifying is that there are trebuchets, this large number of stone bullets hit the pontoon...

So Shen Bing was silent when Yang Duanhe asked.

It doesn't make much sense to mention a solution that cannot be used.

Chen Wei is so dead, but at this moment...

So Shen Bing was thinking, why don't you come up with "Mingxiu plank road secretly crossing Chencang"?

The poorest one is Chen Wei.

He also said that he had a plan, this time he could finally get rid of Shen Bing and his artillery.

I don't want to be used by Shen Bing from start to finish.
