Daqin Engineers

Chapter 125

Meng Liang's explanation for the guards is:

"Sister-in-law laughed."

"My father is worried about the safety of his subordinates, so he has sent more guards to protect him."

"Don't worry about the husband, they are also at the mercy of the husband."

"If the husband feels that it is not enough, the subordinates will adjust some more..."

Shen Bing replied:

"No need!"

"Thank you Zuo Shoufu for your kindness, these many guards are enough."

It is certainly a good thing to increase personal guards.

Although these personal guards are not Shen Bing's personal guards, these personal guards are after all people Shen Bing can use.

On the other hand, the engineer troops also lacked manpower and armored protection, and Mengliang's two hundred guards would be more at ease with them on the battlefield.

But for some reason, Shen Bing always felt a little weird looking at the guards.

Especially Na Mengliang, his eyes seemed to be everywhere, as if staring at him.

Shen Bing secretly asked you, as Mengliang's guard, why don't you stare at Mengliang but stare at me all the time?

But Shen Bing only thought it was his own illusion, so he didn't care.

After only three days of training on the pontoon bridge, there was the wind of war again.

This day, Shen Bing was training soldiers to build pontoon bridges with Zhang Xuan by the river...

Building a pontoon is never easy.

It is now in winter. Although Handan is not colder than Yanji, the soldiers who are on the raft in the water will inevitably wet their feet or pants, and some people may even accidentally fall into the river.Then one by one was trembling with cold.

As for those who want to practice swimming, not to mention, they have to set a fire by the river and go ashore to keep warm after swimming for a while.

Zhang Xuan is a little strange:

"Why did the general let me wait for this time to drill and build a pontoon?"

"Wouldn't it be better to wait until next year's spring to get warmer?"

Shen Bing smiled and replied:

"How can you wait until spring next year?"

Zhang Xuan looked at Shen Bing in surprise:

"Sister-in-law means..."

Just then the fat man ran up.

Perhaps it was because the businessman was so inquiring that Fatty Tun always knew the news earlier.

Fatty said pantingly:

"Master, have you heard?"

"Recently our army caught a group of bandits, what do you think?"

Although Shen Bing had guessed 80%, he still asked:

"how is it?"

The fat man said angrily:

"Those streamed bandits are not actually streamed bandits, they are played by Wei Bing!"

This immediately attracted the eyes of nearby soldiers and leaned toward this side unconsciously.

During this period of time, the Handan garrison has suffered from gangsters, and this is even related to the survival of Handan...

The grain shipped from Xianyang to Handan almost had a big problem due to bandits.Among them, many soldiers suffered losses in the sneak attacks by the bandits, so of course they were concerned about the problem of bandits.

Fatty Tun continued:

"This is just one."

"After I was tortured those Wei Bing, Wei Bing confessed that most of the exiled bandits were supplied by Wei!"

"There is even General Wei commanding."

...

The soldiers were in an uproar again.

Not long ago, the State of Wei wanted to take advantage of the dangers of the State of Qin to attack Handan when the State of Yan launched a coalition. The State of Qin did not use this to attack Wei and gave Wei State a great face. The State of Wei also secretly supported the bandits...

Whether it was tolerable or unbearable, the soldiers became angry and insulted:

"This Wei Wanghua is afraid that he doesn't want to live anymore, he dares to trick him secretly."

"It's more than a secret trick, but they want me to wait for my life!"

"It's okay? I'll wait to report to General Ming and take down Wei Guo to express his anger!"

...

Shen Bing only raised his head towards Zhang Dazzling.

Zhang Xia became clear.

I'm afraid Wang Jian will have the end of this matter.

The reason why the news was released at this time was to arouse the soldiers' anger towards Wei Guo before they could go to war.

You must know that these soldiers stationed in Handan have been fighting one after another and are exhausted: they first attacked Zhao for several months, and finally took the country of Zhao, and then fought against the drought and farmed the fields. At the same time, they had to deal with the bandits, and soon there was a coalition of Yan Dynasty. ...

After so many battles, it was unbearable not to mention physical exhaustion or mental toss.

On the other hand, winter is approaching and everyone thinks it will enter a troop period.

At this time, if orders were still issued from top to bottom to attack Wei, I am afraid it would cause dissatisfaction and low morale among the soldiers.

But if it is to arouse the hatred of soldiers before sending troops... then it is two different things: this is what you asked to send troops, no wonder who.

On the other hand, in ancient times, "the teacher is famous".

Although everyone knows that this is just a question of excuses, if the excuses are justified, they are different:

You, Wei, just sent an envoy to beg for peace. He turned around and spoiled him secretly. Who else would you beat if you didn't beat him?

Zhang Xuan also secretly admired Shen Bing, thinking that all of this was in Shen Bing's calculations.

That Wang Jian was also deep in the city, and he didn't say a word despite the grievances in the army and the people.

From time to time, Wei Bing, who was disguised as a gangster, came out to read the crimes, and then dragged them to the execution ground and chopped them down.

It wasn't until three days later that all the soldiers invited to the battle had gone for several waves, that Wang Jian shouted:

"Wei Guo deceived me too much!"

"You must uproot that Liangcheng city now!"

"Come on, prepare for the war and send troops!"

All the soldiers in the army shouted for a moment and shook their hands, all of them eager to try.

Therefore, being a general is not only capable of fighting and killing, but also knowing the psychology of affecting and even controlling soldiers. Only in this way can the morale of the troops be mobilized to gain a greater advantage on the battlefield.

Shen Bing had nothing to say, so he could only organize his luggage with others.

In fact, I don’t have much clothes to organize in the army, but it’s cold weather with an extra quilt.

There was no cotton in this era. The people’s quilts were usually filled with reeds and catkins. The poorer ones were wheat stalks, while the rich used chicken feathers and duck feathers.

It is better to use furry fur and mink.

Soldiers of course belong to the poor class, because their marching is in large quantities, tens of thousands at every turn, even reeds and catkins are not enough to fill, and they can only use more dried wheat stalks.

The quilt made in this way is light and fluttering to sleep, covered with a strong ventilation.

If it's okay in the city, you will suffer alive outside the city.

It’s no wonder that winter is usually the truce period... In winter, not only is it covered with snow and ice, it is more difficult to attack the city. If the weather is colder, the army will freeze to death when sleeping in the wild.

But Shen Bing does not need to worry about this issue.

As soon as Shen Bing put his wheat stalks into the carriage, Meng Liang leaned forward.

"The husband is courteous. This is the two quilts my father brought to his subordinates. I hope the husband will laugh."

Speaking, the guard next to him beckoned, and he couldn't help but stuffed two quilts into Shen Bing's carriage.

Shen Bing thanked Meng Liang and got in the car and touched...

Let me go, the soft ones are obviously filled with wool.

This is a good thing!And it has two beds as soon as it comes.

Of course Shen Bing would not refuse.

Just kidding, he doesn't want to be frozen to death, he will rely on it for the winter.
