Daqin Engineers

At this time, the fighting under the city wall had ceased. Not surprisingly, the Qin Army had won, and the soldiers burst into cheers toward Yun Xiao.

Yang Duanhe didn't even look at it. He seemed to have expected this result long ago. He still stared straight at the map in front of him, before slowly asking Shen Bing:

"Sister, do you know the difficulty of this battle?"

Shen Bing replied:

"It's still forage!"

Yang Duanhe nodded, and then asked:

"Talk about the reason for the difficulty."

Shen Bing looked at the map and replied:

"It is extremely difficult for the general in this battle to go south to reinforce the beam."

"The Wei State water network is all east-west, that is, if the general wants to attack the beam from Handan, he will have to break through the water network layer by layer."

"With the power of a general, it is easy to break the water net, but it is difficult to keep the water net!"

"And the closer it is to the beam, the more difficult it is."

Yang Duanhe nodded in agreement.

This is actually the geographical advantage of Wei State, but Wei State did not know that it was used by Chu State.

At this time, the Chu army deployed troops along the river network. With the help of Wang Jianzhi and the aid of floating bridges, it was not difficult to break through one or two layers of defense.

The problem is to prevent the Chu army from attacking behind the waterway...

The characteristic of the Chu army is that it is good at water warfare in addition to its many soldiers.

It should be understood that this Chu army lived in a dense water network along the Yangtze and Huai Rivers, and its shipping was very developed.

The reason why the Yellow River is not suitable for shipping is that there are flood seasons in all four seasons: there are spring floods in spring because they are flooded when peach blossoms are in bloom, so they are also called peach blossom floods.

There are few days in the four seasons of the year, and there are calm waves. The amount of water varies from time to time and is irregular, which will cause great trouble to shipping.

The flood season of the Yangtze River is mainly concentrated in the rainy season. At other times, the river has the advantages of clear water, smooth water flow, and stable water volume. So swimming, rafting, boat building, etc. are common things for Chu people.

With this foundation, it is not difficult to form a powerful navy.

On the other hand, the Qin army came from the northwestern region where water is scarce. Most of them are dry ducks. They may be invincible in the world.

Therefore, the Chu army could use this advantage to let the navy attack everywhere, interspersed in the water net from time to time, and attacked occasionally, making Qin army unable to guard against being exhausted. It was the famous general Wang Jian who was worried about this situation.

Especially when Wang Jian's army went deep into the Chu land, that is, when it approached the beam, as the supply line behind it stretched longer, it was more likely to be attacked.

To deal with this situation, the only way to change the direction of attack is to attack from west to east as before.

But at this time Qin's food and army are concentrated in Handan, if they move to Xianyang first, then attack Anyi and then attack Daliang... it will probably be a few months away.

What's more, it almost gave Handan to Chu Army.

Shen Bing continued:

"The Chu army relies on the advantage of the water net to block the general, and our army relies on the advantage of the beam to block the Chu army."

"It is so that no one can do anything about it."

"The Chu army can only besiege the city and wait for my food to run out, so the food problem remains."

The one hundred thousand Qin army placed by Yang Duanhe not only occupies the Liangjian city and the surrounding water network, but also the quality of the veterans who have been fighting for many years is much better than the Chu army. The Chu army has 250,000 and cannot be shaken.

So just like Shen Bing said, no one can do anything, who can only consume.

Yang Duan and the finger map drew a line on the north side and said:

"What if I split a part north to meet the general?"

Shen Bing objected:

"General, this is very dangerous."

"If the Chu army harassed along the way for the benefit of the water army, then use the water network to divide our army..."

Needless to say what the result will be next.

No matter how good Qin Jun's quality is, he can only be broken into pieces that cannot be supported by each other.

Yang Duanhe couldn't help sighing.

He didn't think of this, he just didn't want to admit it.

Because if this doesn't work, then it doesn't work, there is only one way.

It's okay if you can stick to it. The Chu soldiers retired after defending for a few months.

The problem is that defending is also a dead end... The Chu army keeps compressing the space of the Qin army inward, and it does not matter if the large tracts of land outside the city are used by the Qin army.

However, the Chu army can wait for next year's harvest as long as he surrounds Daliang City, and he won't even need to transport grain from Chu.

On the other hand, Xiang Yan of Chu Jun also planned in this way.

Although he was a little frustrated after launching a tentative offensive, the morale and combat effectiveness of the Qin army were not weakened at all.

Seeing this, Yan couldn't help but complain:

"Wang Wei faked this waste."

"Not only did it fail to consume the strength of the Qin army, but it also gave the Qin army a strong city and grain for nothing."

"I knew I should have taken the beam before Qin!"

The Ministry will recommend:

"General, if the Qin Army can break the embankment and flood the beams, why don't we do the same?"

Xiang Yan shook her head and said:

"How could Qin Jun be as stupid as Wei Wangjiao?"

"They must defend the upper reaches of the river mouth to prevent us from flooding."

"At that time, they only need to block the river to flood the beams."

"Not to mention that the weather is getting cold at this time, and the river in the north will be frozen in a few days. How can the small amount of river be useful?"

The general couldn't help but admire, but the secret road turned out that the general had done enough for this battle.

Of course Xiang Yan must do enough work, and even this battle can be said to be inevitable.

Xiang Yan's strategic goal is very simple. It is to take the Qin Kingdom to destroy Han Mie Zhao one after another, and then to defeat the Yan army after the First World War.

This was not only the effective force against the Qin Army preventing the Qin Army from going south to attack Chu, it was also the starting point for Xiang Yan to launch an attack on the Qin Army:

If Yang Duan and this Qin army were destroyed, Xiang Yan would be able to stand firm in the beam under the banner of helping Wei Fuguo, and then also under the banner of helping Korea and Zhao Fuguo to attack South Korea and attack Zhao north.

Of these two, Xiang Yan is more inclined to attack Zhao.

Because once Wei Di returns to Xiang Yan, Zhao Di is easily surrounded.

At that time, if the kingdom of Yan and the kingdom of Yan are united again, if Wang Jian does not escape, I am afraid it will end in the same way as Liang.

In this way, Chu State does not need to worry about being destroyed by Qin State, but returns to the hegemon to order the nations to counterattack Qin State.

In Xiang Yan's eyes, it didn't make any sense to consolidate and defeat Qin.

After the union, all countries wanted to preserve their strength, so they had their own ghosts. It would be a foolish dream to defeat Qiang Qin in this way.

Therefore, if you want to truly unite, you should integrate all the other countries into the territory of Chu and combine them into one force to fight against Qin.

The current situation is a golden opportunity.

Big beam is just the first step of this plan.

After being silent for a while, Xiang Yan said to the general:

"Pass the order on."

"The imperial edict to the army and the people of the Wei State: Chu army came to assist Wei. If the army and the people have the heart to rejuvenate the country, they can fight against Qin together with us, and there will be rewards for meritorious service!"
