Daqin Engineers

Shen Bing waited until the sacks were all ready before doing anything.

Although there are already sacks in the barracks at this time, those sacks are still filled with grain... You can't just vacate all the army rations just to build the embankment.

If there are empty sacks, they were made up by the soldiers after eating their rations, but they were far from enough to build a dike.

For this, Yang Duanhe was broken.

Time is tight, there are only more than ten days in total, if the river reaches a small amount in the cold season...

Fortunately, Handan is only 500 miles away from the beam.

First, 800 li hurriedly reported the situation to Wang Jian, and the news was in Wang Jian's hands within a day.

Then Wang Jian immediately organized a transportation team and gathered all the sacks to transport a batch to the beam first.

Wang Jian even searched the entire rice shops in Daliang City... Usually only rice shops have sacks in the folks, and the people rarely use them.

If there is a need, it means that the bride must lay sack on the road before entering the door. The rule is that the bride walks forward and the bridegroom steps on the sack to enter the door. The implication is: one bag (generation) is passed on from generation to generation.

At this time, the people all need to go to the rice shop to borrow, otherwise the sacks are not enough.

If you make up a certain amount, it will be shipped quickly.

The so-called expedited transportation refers to the rapid transportation in emergency situations.

This is usually the transportation method used when the front line urgently needs military rations, bows and arrows.

At this time, more horses will be prepared for the transportation team for replacement. In addition, the weight of the horses will be reduced to ensure the transportation speed.

But even so, it took three days for the first batch of sacks to arrive.

In addition, the day before the letter was delivered, it was already the fourth day when the sacks arrived at the beam.

Shen Bing and others have not been idle for these four days.

The first is that Zheng Guo has already measured the dam line.

This really has to be done by talents like Zheng Guo. Zheng Guo seems to have a picture in his mind: where will the water come from when the embankment is opened in the future, where will it go, how high the water level will be, and so on.

So we know where and where we need to use dams to block water, and which higher locations do not.

Then, Shen Bing and a group of craftsmen drove wooden stakes and pulled hemp rope along the dam line under the cover of the soldiers.

They usually act at night.

The reason is that the dam line is about sixty steps away from Daliang City, and it is still very dangerous to act during the day.

It's much more convenient at night, at least there is night protection.

Before that, Shen Bing went to the defense division to say hello...

The defense division engineer is an old man named Shi.

This is not surprising at all, just like Xun is in his 50s, most of the engineers who are capable of working as engineers are a little bit old.

Because they usually come up step by step from ordinary craftsmen.

Of course, Cang is an exception for the artillery and engineer.

Shen Bing was actually reluctant to let Canglai be the artillery engineer, and if he could, Shen Bing would even like to be served as the left-hand husband.

But on the one hand, Cang's title is high, and on the other hand, this is not something Shen Bing can decide... Qin Jun's promotion is more based on his title rather than personal likes and dislikes.

And this promotion usually involves transfer to other troops.

This is a feature of this era, mainly to prevent "permanent private business."

Too many familiar people, too many familiar soldiers, what if these soldiers have feelings in battle and have some kind of alliance?

Will these soldiers form a small group, and then this small group becomes a big group?

One day this big group will be too big to be obedient and uncontrolled?

Therefore, every promotion almost has to transfer the original troops.

The reason why Cang didn't call out was because the engineers were in the fifth team, and they were transferred to and from Shen Bing.

On the other hand... the superiors are not too concerned about the engineer's rebellion. How can the craftsmen have the ability to rebel?

When Shen Bing found Shi, he was directing the craftsmen to make a carbine.

Shen Bing stepped forward and said to Shi:

"Can the engineer make some shield cars?"

Zhiqi Road:

"What is a shield car?"

Shen Bing replied:

"That's... a large wooden shield was erected on the carriage to block the crossbow!"

Shi is still puzzled:

"But husband, why does the carriage need a shield?"

"Does our army still drive a carriage to battle?"

As a result, Shen Bing went into battle in a carriage.

To be precise, it was pushing a carriage into battle...The defense shield was standing on the carriage. The carriage was loaded with wooden stakes. Several people drove up to the city wall by night, and then smashed the wooden stakes into the dam line one by one.

When Wei Bing heard the sound, he shot a few rockets and found that it was Qin Jun. Then he shot a large number of arrows, all of which were shot on the anti-shield of the carriage and made a very pleasing sound.

After a few nights of operation, the dam line was almost nailed with wooden stakes and connected in a net with twine.

When the sack comes, it will be brewed again.

It's just that the horse-drawn cart transports sandbags instead of wooden stakes.

But it is faster to lay the sandbags, just remove them from the wagon and stack them in front of the stakes.

This job could even be operated during the day, because Wei Jun couldn't shoot a few arrows before he left.

If there is any loss, it is the stone bullet from Wei Jun...but Wei Jun is afraid that it is an old catapult, even if the head range is close, so the threat is not big.

Only then did Wei Wangjia realize that something was wrong.

King Wei was secretly happy when he saw the dry water of the Bianhe River:

"Qin Jun's interception is about to attack the city."

"I just need to wait for them to come up. I would like to see what Qin Jun can do to attack me!"

"Let the order go on and prepare for war!"

Everyone responded with a bang.

However, waiting from the left to the right did not see the Qin army attacking the city. Instead, there were piles of piles of soil outside the city.

Wei Wangjia couldn't understand a little bit, and asked:

"What is Qin Jun's plan?"

Wei Wei looked around, feeling shocked, and said:

"My lord, big things are not good."

"Qin Jun is going to attack with water!"

Wei Wang asked falsely:

"Water attack? How to use water attack?"

Wei Wei replied:

"Lord, please take a look. The earth rampart is placed in a circle around the city with a beam."

"Dykes have also been built on the lower reaches of the Bian River."

"If Qin Jun sets it up and releases the river..."

"The river water is stored near the beam and there is nowhere to go out!"

When Wei Wangjia heard this, he panicked immediately.

Most of the city walls in this era were earth-wood structures, which were clapboards plus rammed earth.

Although it can also be waterproof, it is inevitable that such a huge city wall has been built for hundreds of years.

If this is soaking over the city wall for a few days...

Thinking of this, Wei Wang asked:

"How should this be good?"

Ordinary people may say a few words at this time:

"I told you earlier not to bring all the troops into the city, right? I just didn't listen."

"It's okay now, do you know it was wrong?"

However, Wei Wei did not complain.

He handed over to Wang Wei and said falsely:

"My lord, the only solution for the present is to fight outside the city!"

"The minister, please take one hundred thousand elite soldiers out of the city..."

I don’t want to be interrupted by Wei Wangjia before he finishes:

"One hundred thousand? No!"

"Only 30,000!"

Wei Wei was stunned when he heard it. Is there such a bargaining?

The Qin soldiers outside the city have 100,000 miles, so how can they fight with only 30,000 out of the city?
