Daqin Engineers

That night Wei Wei started as planned.

Originally, Wei Wei could also spread the plan a bit larger, such as deploying reinforcements or the follow-up battle to capture Guangwu Mountain and so on.

But he only had 30,000 in his hand, enough to act tonight, so he could only count as one step.

Wei Wei's forces were distributed in this way: 5,000 men on each of the east, west, and south sides were used for feint attacks, and the remaining 15,000 were used for the north.

The north is obviously the most important, after all, it is a breakthrough.

Among these five thousand people, six thousand were used for feint attacks, two thousand elite soldiers were selected for surprise attacks on Guangwu Mountain, and the remaining seven thousand were used as support.

The so-called support is also what the modern "reserve" means.

It is impossible to use up all the troops in a war. Some troops must always be left to deal with emergencies, otherwise the situation will change in wartime and will fall into the dilemma of no soldiers available.

Wei Wei also made some other preparations for this. He asked each of the two thousand elite soldiers to prepare some hemp rope, and then wrapped the hemp rope around the shoes and tied them.

Wei Wei is a farmer, and he knows some ways to walk on silt ground, so that the shoes will not be "sticked" by the silt, and it will also make it easier for his feet to sink into the mud.

To explain with modern science...that is to increase the area of ​​force to reduce the pressure on the ground.

Although Wei Wei doesn't know the principle, he can use it.

At three shifts that night, the battle planned by Wei Wei started.

With a rush of drums, the city gates on all sides of the beam opened wide, and the suspension bridge was lowered, and Wei Bing shouted violently from the gates.

These Wei soldiers also carried ladders, because what stood in front of them were dams built up with sandbags, so the battle out of the city was like a siege.

However, they had just rushed out of the city gate, and there was a sound of breaking through the air in the darkness...Bowbolts and stone bullets came from all directions towards the suspension bridge.

Qin Jun had already made preparations to blockade the city gates, especially the trebuchets.

A new type of trebuchet was fanned out in the direction of the city gate, all of which had been tested and adjusted with weights. The impact points were all near the city gate.

At this moment, as soon as Wei Bing rushed out of the city gate, the stone bullet hit him like hail.

Suddenly there was a scream and the sound of heavy objects hitting meat... The gate exit was narrow, and the Wei soldiers were almost crowded with their front feet close to the hind feet. Every stone bullet hit several Wei soldiers.

Then a few linen fire bombs fell from the sky, and the fire light illuminated the corpses and blood at the city gate.

But Wei Bing was not frightened, they still rushed out of the city to attack the dam.

Qin Jun Jiashi lined up to greet them and fight with them, and for a moment they shouted and shook the sky with a rumble of drums.

When the Qin and Wei armies were fighting fiercely, Wei Wei led two thousand elite soldiers and set off from Shuimen quietly.

The water gate is just beside the Bian River.

Most cities have rivers connected to the moat, especially if the moat is an outflow river with shipping value.

The Bian River is an outflow river leading to Chu State, and Wei State will of course use it.

As a result, a stream was dug to lead to the inland river, and several ports could be set up in Daliang City, and ships sailed directly from the city to the outside and then to other places.

Also, because the city must be protected from outsiders, a water gate was installed at the city wall.

At this time, because the upper reaches of the estuary had been blocked by the Qin Army, there was no water in the river, so as soon as the water gate opened, Wei Wei and the two thousand elite soldiers filed out along the river and then quietly moved north along the river.

In the beam palace, Wei Wangjia was awakened by the sound of drums.

He turned over and sat up and asked in surprise:

"Where to call to kill? Qin Jun came to attack?"

The attendant reported:

"Great King, it was not the Qin army who came to attack, but General Wei led the troops to fight!"

Wei Wangjia was taken aback for a while, and it took a while before he reacted and said "Oh".

In fact, he had forgotten the promise to Wei Wei's 30,000 soldiers to let him go to war.

It can't be said that he forgot. Wei Wangjia actually didn't know about the 30,000 Wei army.

The first is that Wei Wangjia did not participate in the planning.

Secondly, although Wei Wei had listed the detailed plan in the memorial and handed it to him, Wei Wangfa didn't even look at it.

Just kidding, when is it all, why not enjoy it?

How can I see the memorial?

So Wei Wangjia didn't know Wei Wei's battle plan from beginning to end, and of course he couldn't "forget".

Even Wei Wanghua thought that Wei Wei was just talking, where he dared to lead troops to fight.

Unexpectedly, Wei Wei really did that.

After thinking about it, Wei Wangjia said:

"Come on, hang on for the widow, go up to the city to take a look!"

Owners responded and put on armor for Wei Wangjia.

After walking to the top of the city, Wei Wangcai frowned when he saw the battle.

Under the fire of the city’s head, there were bloody and screaming Wei soldiers everywhere. One group of them attacked the dam and another group was chopped down. There were also crossbow arrows and stones shot from nowhere. The bullets only made Wei Bing cry and howling terribly.

When Wei Wang Jian saw this, he couldn't help being furious:

"Well, you Wei Wei, did you say that leading soldiers out of the city to fight is like this?"

"What's called a battle, it's clearly to let our army die!"

"Where is Wei Wei, where is Wei Wei?"

Shicheng hurried up and reported:

"Great King, General Wei has led his troops to take Guangwu Mountain..."

Wei Wangjia was angry and cursed before the corpse was finished speaking:

"What is Guangwu Mountain?"

"The Liangcheng city in front of you is not well guarded, why would you take Guangwu Mountain for it?"

"Let that Wei Wei come back and order the retreat!"

The corpse was shocked and said:

"My lord, don't!"

"General Wei is on the way to attack Guangwu Mountain at this time. If he returns to the city, General Wei and his party will be in danger!"

Wang Wei falsely cursed:

"For Wei Wei, can these many Wei soldiers go to die?"

"Are you always confused?!"

No matter what the nephew persuaded, he ordered:

"Mingjin retreat!"

Wherever the servants dared to resist, they immediately sounded the gong to bring back Wei Bing who had been playing.

Wei Wei on the other side just crossed the dam line.

It was when Wei Wei was secretly happy.

Because the waterway from the embankment line is the section where the Qin Army dredged and blocked the river, the silt was much less from here to the north, so their marching speed could be accelerated.

At the same time, the defense of the Qin Army further north was weaker. As long as it smoothly penetrated to Mount Guangwu, it might really be able to turn the tide.

Unexpectedly, at this moment...but there was the sound of gongs from Daliang City behind.

Wei Wei's face changed drastically.

What's going on?

It is clear that they must insist on attacking for an hour no matter what, but now it is not even half an hour.

Without my Wei Wei's order, who would dare to order the soldiers so boldly and privately?

After thinking about it, Wei Wei understood who it was.

He couldn't help but sighed inwardly: "It's over!"

Sure enough, after Wei Jun retreated, Qin Jun began to sweep the battlefield with torches.

Then someone walked towards the river...
