Daqin Engineers

A ministry will suggest:

"General, my subordinates thought they could only withdraw their troops!"

"Even if I wait for the main beam to be captured, being surrounded by the Chu army will not be in vain!"

This is what everyone said.

Liang's problem with Qin has always been not Wei but Chu.

The Chu State is too close to the beams, and the two places in the Chu State, Caozhou and Chencheng, are still constraining the beams from the north to the south. Therefore, the Chu army can easily attack the beams on both sides or outflank the beams.

It's not that Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe didn't consider the situation of Chu Jun's assistance.

It's just that they didn't expect Chu State to organize a 250,000 army so quickly after the internal chaos, and the strategy is still interspersed with encirclement...

At this time, the general Qin Jun would think: If surrounded by the Chu army, would it make sense to seize the beam?

This is equivalent to a big net that has been cast outside, and the fish and shrimp in the net are still fighting each other.

Yang Duanhe hesitated, he was actually inclined to withdraw troops in his heart.

There is a saying, "I'm not afraid of leaving the green hills without Chai Shan". For the Qin army, retaining the troops and preserving their strength is the most important thing.

We can't kill Wei this time and can wait for the next time. If the army is encircled and annihilated, it will not be so easy to recover.

Yang Duanhe's hesitation was not whether to withdraw the troops, but whether to flood the beams before considering withdrawing. Even if the beams were not destroyed, Wei could be uncomfortable.

At this time, Shen Bing said shockingly:

"General, my subordinates thought that I would not be able to withdraw."

After hearing this, everyone looked at him.

Li Yan said with disdain:

"What can you know as a worker?"

"How easy is it to lead soldiers to war as you think?"

"Just do your woodwork..."

No wonder Li Yan would question.If it weren't for Shen Bing's previous guess that the supply line would be attacked, Shen Bing, the worker's husband, shouldn't even have the right to participate in military meetings like this.

Yang Duanhe stared at Li Yan and interrupted him, then turned to ask Shen Bing:

"It's okay to say Fudan, why can't our army withdraw?"

Shen Bing asked instead:

"The subordinate wants to know, how will I withdraw if I wait for the withdrawal?"

Yang Duanhe answered without thinking:

"Since then withdraw back to Qin."

The Qin Army originally had three directions to retreat.

But at this time the situation has changed: there are two hundred thousand Chu army main force in the north, and 50,000 Chu army attacking Yangdi in the south. There is only one direction for the Qin army to withdraw... to withdraw west to the Qin realm.

Although there are only fifty thousand Chu army to the south, Yang Duan and the hundred thousand army are confident that they can defeat them, but they are afraid that they will be dragged by them and cannot escape.

Shen Bing replied:

"If you withdraw to the west, I'm afraid you will be caught in the tricks of the Chu army!"

Li Yan smiled and said:

"It's alarmist. If it's impossible to withdraw to the west, wouldn't it be possible to withdraw to the east?"

All the tribes laughed as they heard this, because it was naturally impossible for Chu Kingdom to the east.

Yang Duanhe had the most contact with Shen Bing and knew Shen Bing's abilities, so he didn't despise it like others. He glanced around at the crowd with a slightly reproachful look, and then asked Shen Bing:

"Sir husband, please tell me, why did the Chu army's plan to withdraw westward?"

Shen Bing asked two questions:

"General, how far is the beam from Qin Realm?"

"If our army marches normally, how many days will it take to return to Qin?"

Yang Duanhe answered:

"There are nine hundred li, it will take more than ten days to return to Qin."

Shen Bingdao:

"That's it."

"Most of our troops are marching slowly for infantry. How can the Chu army allow me to march for more than ten days and retreat to the Qin realm..."

Li Yan interrupted Shen Bing:

"The Chu army is deceiving me without food, otherwise, how can I be afraid of the 200,000 Chu army if I wait for a hundred thousand troops?"

This is also true. The Qin Army has a strong combat power. If it weren't for the loss of the grain road, it would be able to fight one enemy and two.

Li Yan added another sentence:

"What's more, if I wait until the marching speed is slow, where can the Chu army go fast?"

"Use the cavalry to outflank it? How good is that cavalry?"

The cavalry of this era is not the main force, even if there are not many, so according to common sense, it is indeed impossible to stop the 100,000 Qin army.

But Shen Bing has a different view.

Shen Bing pointed to the Qin army's withdrawal route on the map:

"First of all, these nine hundred miles of Chu army will not let me wait."

"The Chu army will send cavalry to rush ahead of our army to demolish bridges and break roads or set up ambush for sneak attacks."

"So the actual marching time of our army will be far more than ten days, and when I rushed to the vicinity of Qin, I was already a tired division."

Yang Duanhe looked more solemn and nodded in agreement:

"The strategy of the exhausted army, the Chu army takes it for granted."

Li Yan don't refuse to accept:

"Even so, I can successfully return to Qin with the help of our ministry."

"General Li Xin is at the border between Qin and Wei!"

"How can Chu Bing stop the attack from both sides of our army?"

Shen Bing replied:

"If it's just Chu soldiers, it really can't stop our army. But what if we add Wei army?"

Li Yan is a little confused:

"Wei Jun?"

Shen Bing pointed to the location of Anyi on the map and said:

"Anyi was originally the capital of Chu State, and it happened to be on the border of Qin Chu."

"The Chu army can use an excuse to come to rescue the Wei army against Qin, and effortlessly take Anyi and even get the help of Anyi's military and civilians."

"When……"

Everyone could not help but change their colors.

Because everyone will think what will happen if this continues.

Na Anyi doesn't need to defeat the Qin army, just block the Qin army for a few days and then the Chu army will catch up from all directions.

Yang Duanhe sighed:

"What the husband said is quite true."

"Other than that, I'm ignoring one thing."

"Why are the 200,000 Wei soldiers trapped in the beams easy to follow?"

"At this time they just couldn't go out of the city to fight because of a mistake in decision-making."

"If our army withdraws... these Wei soldiers will definitely go out of the city to chase after them."

"At that time, will I be waiting to face the more than two hundred thousand Chu army? And there are countless Wei army!"

This is what Shen Bing wants to say.

Don't look at Wei Jun now being trapped in the city like a tortoise-sun and unable to fight back.

However, low-quality troops often have a characteristic, that is, they cannot fight against the wind but can fight downwind.

Before they were afraid of Qin Jun and Wei Wang's false decision, so they were passive.

It's okay if the Qin army does not withdraw, and the "Pandora's Box" will be opened as soon as it withdraws.

Coupled with the Qin army's defeat, those Wei soldiers will naturally be chasing after him.

Speaking of this, Yang Duanhe knew where the point was. He gritted his teeth and said:

"So, I can't withdraw my troops anyway."

"Even if you want to withdraw, you have to attack the main beam to withdraw!"

These two sentences actually mean the same thing, that is, staying in place and continuing to destroy Wei.

Because it was obvious that the encirclement of the Chu army would have been closed long ago when the Qin army had captured the beam, and there was no chance to withdraw.

Li Yan asked worriedly:

"But General, the ration..."

Yang Duanhe answered:

"There is grain in Daliang City, as long as the beam is smashed, our army will have no worries about it."

This is an idea, but...

Shen Bing just wanted to say something, but found that Yang Duanhe took a deep look at Shen Bing.

So Shen Bing swallowed what he wanted to say.
