Daqin Engineers

Suddenly there was a riot outside the city, and then someone at the top of the city shouted:

"Water, flood! The flood is coming!..."

At that moment, Shen Bing's head slowed by half a beat. Could it be that the upstream has already cut ice and released water?

This can't be done!

The agreed time is one month later!

But after thinking about it, Shen Bing thought it was normal.

Ice digging and drainage is not so easy to control.

If this is relatively easy in modern times, explosives are loaded into the ice and detonated whenever they want.

But this era almost relied on manpower to cut the ice. If the chain reaction of the ice layer was accidentally cracked, wouldn't the water drop down?

Thinking of this, Shen Bing felt relieved.

Then Shen Bing became excited again. As soon as the flood came, the Chu army would be over, and the siege of beams would be resolved...

At this time, Yang Duanhe just got the report and hurried over, and when he saw Shen Bing, he nodded to signal to follow.

Shen Bing didn't dare to hesitate, put down his work and followed Yang Duanhe to the top of the city.

Ascending to the top of the city and looking down, Hongguo has already flooded the sky outside the city. The most obvious is the moat. The Guangwu River upstream of it has been blocked by Zheng Guo with rocks, but at this time it is still flowing. There was a noise, and it was obvious that water from other directions had collected into the river.

Looking further away, the Chu army barracks were in great chaos, with shouts, shouts, and horses hissing. Although they could not see the water at the head of the city, they could see the Chu army retreating south in a panic.

Qin Jun strictly did not move much in ruling the army, but he also waved the flag to seek orders.

Yang Duanhe did not hesitate, and immediately ordered:

"Return to the city!"

"Open the gates!"

The city gate slowly opened with a "creak", and then the Qin army poured into the city like a tide.

But the speed of the current rising was much faster than the Qin army's retreat. Soon the water from the moat overflowed the suspension bridge and poured into the city, and the momentum seemed to be rising.

The sinking soldiers hurriedly turned around and shouted:

"Hemp rope, wood!"

Although the craftsmen didn't understand what Shen Bing wanted these things to do, they still moved the hemp rope and wood to the wall in response.

Shen Bing didn't say much, he took a piece of hemp rope, tied one end to the female wall and the other end tied to the log and then rolled down the city...The wood was thrown into the water and floated at the foot of the city wall.

Right now, several soldiers struggling in the water hugged the wood and stuck their heads out of breath.

The weak point of the soldiers of the Qin Army was that they couldn't know the water, and because they were fully armed, it was difficult to survive in the water. This was a life-saving straw.

Everyone immediately understood what was going on as soon as they saw it, so they tied up logs and planks and hung them down the city wall like Shen Bing.

It's just that some people voted too eagerly, and when the stick was thrown off, several people were hit on the spot, and Yang Duanhe was so angry that he shouted.

Fortunately, the water came and went quickly... This was mainly a flood peak that rushed down from the upper reaches. It rushed ashore because the rush was too strong to change direction at the big bend of the beam.

After half an hour, this flood peak gradually diminished.

Those Qin troops who had been washed out came into the city in groups of three or five, but they were all shivering with cold and only half their lives, and many corpses were left outside the city.

Yang Duanhe was not angry and rejoiced, because if all the Qin troops outside the city were rushed like this, what would happen to the Chu army who had a larger number of people and built tents without a wall as a base?And what about Chu Jun's food and grass?

Yang Duanhe was right to think that the Chu army camp had been rushed to the ground.

Needless to say, the tents were uprooted like a hurricane.Grain and grass were washed everywhere, here in a bag and in a pile, and there were also those that were washed into the river or scattered all over the ground, and there were less than one that could be recovered.

This is only the case of the beam direction.

The focus of the flooding is the main force of the Chu army between Handan and Daliang.

The floods in this area are not just a flood.

As mentioned before, the Jinkou area has been frozen and the river water cannot be discharged and accumulated in the upper reaches of Handan.

Originally, there was not much water accumulation in the middle and lower reaches of the river, but at this time the water volume suddenly increased, and the water storage doubled instantly and spread everywhere on both sides of the bank.

For a while, there was a long stretch of Heze south of Handan.

The Chu army has naval forces in this area. Most of these naval forces are small boats used for ordinary operations. How can they resist the flood peaks? When a huge wave comes over, they will sink and sink, and they will disappear in the blink of an eye. .

As for the infantry, those who run fast are concentrated on the nearby high ground, and those who cannot run fast can only flop in the rising water... Although most of the Chu army swims, they are also wearing armor under such unexpected circumstances. Even swimming can't save them.

So in a short while, countless corpses were killed and wounded everywhere.

At this time, Yang Duanhe ordered the navy to attack...

The Qin Army’s navy cannot actually be called navy. They are just infantry on rafts. Many of them will not even swim and fall into the water to be rescued.

If it were at other times, of course such a navy could not compete with the Chu navy.

But this is not the "other time", now the Chu army has no water army and the infantry is flooded.

So the infantry on these rafts were all in all directions. They went down the river in batches. Whenever they saw the Chu army in the water or on the bank, they raised the Changjin halberd and waved towards them...

Yang Duanhe laughed at this scene, and praised Shen Bing:

"Sir husband is really a god and man."

"First, the water attacked the main beam, and now it flooded the Chu army."

"Wei and Chu armies were defeated under the same strategy of the husband, which is unprecedented!"

Shen Bing didn't think there was anything, but his team, such as Cang, Yan, Cheng and others, looked at Shen Bing in a daze.

They didn't know until then that all of this was made by Shen Bing.

A nurse husband, a nurse husband who is no more than 500 soldiers and a craftsman, could set up such a strategy to defeat the two countries in a row.

Among them, there are 200,000 troops in the Wei State, and 300,000 in Chu State plus other scattered troops...

A total of 500,000 yuan, it was defeated by a worker!

They couldn't believe it and had to believe it, because besides Shen Bing, who could come up with this method?

Ying Zheng on the other side is also very satisfied with the outcome of the war.

Although the Qin army suffered some losses in this battle, a part of the fields in Handan were also flooded.

But what can it be compared to the 300,000 Chu army flooded?

After this battle, the Chu army was afraid that his vitality would be severely injured and would no longer dare to counterattack Qin.

More importantly, Ying Zheng thought to himself:

Why is it water?

Water both times?

This reminds Ying Zheng of Zou Yan's theory of five virtues, and he predicted that Qin is a water virtue.

But now Shen Bing used water twice to overcome the two major difficulties of Wei and Chu, which paved the way for Qin.

Could it be... just as the widow said before, this Shen Bing is Da Qin's blessed general?Is Daqin's luck?
