Daqin Engineers

Things did not develop as Shen Bing imagined, because an episode occurred in it:

Zhao Jia, the acting king, was a little panicked when he saw the Qin army chasing after him.

The soldiers of the State of Yan may be able to defend the city, but there are only a few tens of thousands of people in the country, and the place where they are stationed is still a city of wind and sand that lacks water and food. When the Qin army comes, he can only go north. She avoided the grassland and joined the Huns.

So Zhao Jia immediately sent an emissary to persuade Yan Wangxi:

"This battle started because the Prince Pill assassinated Qin."

"Now that the Qin army is near the city, I can't stand it."

"Only by killing the prince pill and taking the first level to send and apologize to Yingzheng, I will have a ray of life!"

If this is an ordinary person, I am afraid that he will be furious when he sees this suggestion.

Good you Zhao Jia, you actually said such a jerk at this moment of crisis!

You want me to kill the prince and steal a life?

How can my dignified king do such an unrighteous thing?

However, Yan Wangxi was not an ordinary person, he was actually moved when he saw this suggestion.

But Ji Dan is his own son after all, and making a decision is not so easy, so he hesitated for a while.

After hesitating for a while, others reported to Ji Dan:

"Prince go!"

"The king wants to kill you to quell the anger of the Qin army."

Ji Dan was stunned for a while but didn't respond.

But he knew that Yan Wangxi was a person who would do such a thing, and even if he interceded in a crisis, it would not help.

So after hesitating for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and packed up and fled.

But Ji Dan's escape aroused Yan Wangxi's anger.

"This wicked man has made such a bad idea to harm the country of Yan like this."

"Now I want to leave this mess to the widow again!"

"When he leaves, Qin Jun hasn't put all his anger on the widow?"

"You can blame me for being unrighteous..."

So the whole country was rounded up with an order.

Poor Na Ji Dan's exposure rate in Yan Kingdom was still quite high, and it didn't take long to be recognized and arrested.

Yan Wangxi simply chopped off Ji Dan's head and used a wooden box to send an envoy to make peace.

Yang Duanhe was not able to do this, so he had to stop pursuing and send a quick horse to report to Yingzheng.

At this time, Ying Zheng was rushing to Handan with an army of 100,000.

As I said before, once Ying Zheng feels a danger, he will desperately eliminate it.

So this time, I made up my mind to uproot Yan Guo.

At the same time, he knew well that the 160,000 army set by Wang Jian had to govern the three counties and besiege Yan and Dai the two countries, so the troops would be insufficient.

So I took a hundred thousand army to settle in Handan.

Halfway through, I received information from Wang Jian:

"Our army has come to the city of Yanji, but the envoy of King Yan brought the first-level Prince Pill to seek peace."

"Lord, please decide."

Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard the words, and secretly said that Wang Yan was also ruthless enough to even let his son go to survive.

but……

Ying Zheng didn't want to let it go.

Now is a good opportunity to destroy the swallows. Their rations are robbed and unable to survive the winter. One day they will have a lot of trouble when they recover their strength.

Ying Zhengxuan also thought that the Qin Army's troops in the three counties were insufficient and the front line was too long.

If the remnants of Zhao Guo's remnants resurrected and started chaos, then it would be bad.

So at least we should wait for the reinforcements to arrive in Handan.

So Ying Zheng replied:

"Order Wang Jian to postpone the attack."

"I will make plans after seeing the envoys who have checked their heads."

The messenger answered, and then went back.

Ying Zheng couldn't say that it was not black. He pushed the boat along the water to make King Yan happy that Ying Zheng would let him go, so he waited for the Qin army to withdraw.

He didn't expect that this was actually just Ying Zheng's deferment...

It's just that Ying Zheng couldn't sit still anymore.

Ji Dan's servant is dead?

But I don't know if it is true or not. Could it be that the assassination is going on again like last time?

When the head is delivered, will it be inspected or not?

Not if...

Thinking of Yingzheng, he immediately ordered Zhao Gao:

"Prepare the horse!"

The front offensive slowed down, and Shen Bing didn't need to hurry.

But only at this time, the engineers like Shen Bing are the busiest. They need a lot of wood to build siege fortifications and trebuchets.

Also need to make siege equipment and stone bullets.

So these days, I have been logging and quarrying on the mountain and then transporting it down for production.

At this time, the weather had gradually cooled down, and the clothes on Qin Jun's body were not enough to keep out the cold, and everyone was shivering from the cold.

The advantage of logging as a trebuchet is that it can ignite branches and sawdust for heating.

So the craftsman's situation is much better.

Shen Bing didn't need to worry about this...Fatty had changed a lot of new clothes for him before, so he can use it now, no matter what he wears.

Although it looks a little swollen, I can't take care of that much at this time.

Cang complained while cutting the log with a hatchet:

"It's so cold as soon as I enter the winter swallow land. How much will it be in a few months?"

Yan is a northerner, so he is quite familiar with the weather, so he replied:

"Usually I need to prepare several sets of animal skins to keep out the cold at this time, otherwise I will have to freeze to death after the winter."

From this point of view, it makes sense for King Yan to hope that the Qin army would retreat on its own due to hunger and cold.

"Hunger" is not a problem for Qin Jun, but "cold" is a big problem:

Most of the Qin army came from Xianyang, and the lowest temperature in winter was around minus 8 degrees.

The minimum temperature of thistle in the north can be as low as minus 20 degrees.

This gap made it difficult for the Qin army from afar to adapt.

If you are hiding in the city, it is okay, at least there is something to shield the wind and snow, and regenerate a fire for heating.

But Qin Jun is out in the wild now, and the tent is still barely usable at this time. If a heavy snow comes... I don't know how much it will be crushed.

Fatty Tun is a person who is afraid of the cold, he has already started to shiver:

"No... I don't know why this Yan Ren lives in this bitter cold place."

"How do they...how do they spend the winter?"

Yan answered:

"I don't know Yan Ren."

"But my people usually stock enough food and grass."

"In winter, I stayed simple, and occasionally came out hunting when there was insufficient food or when it was sunny.

At this time, Ren, who was boiling water, called to everyone:

"It's done, eat something to warm up!"

After hearing this, everyone picked up the wooden bowl and leaned forward.

The fat man set the folding stool respectfully and gave Shen Bing a place before grabbing his wooden bowl.

Just when everyone was about to start, they heard a shout:

"Wait a minute, wait and eat slowly! Save some for me!"

Shen Bing turned his head to look, but it was the horse merchant he had seen before. At this time, he ran over, looking like he was afraid of being eaten up.

It was a coincidence that Shen Bing secretly said that he actually ran into him again.

The Ma Shang laughed "haha" when he saw Shen Bing:

"Master, don't come here unharmed?"

"I miss it for many days!"

Then he said "Huh", looked at the things floating in the wok and asked:

"What's this?"
