Daqin Engineers

In this battle, the Chu army was defeated, and 300,000 people were drowned and only a hundred thousand remnants fled back.

Not only these 300,000 people, but also the cultivated land in Caozhou and the people were seriously affected.

Xiang Yan was lucky to have lost his life.

At that time, he was in the tent discussing how to recruit Wei Jun and Zhao Bing and the people of other countries.

This is actually Xiang Yan's real purpose for sending out 250,000 troops to fight the Qin Army... At this time, standing on the opposite side of the Qin State, he can give orders to all countries, even the recently destroyed South Korea.

However, at this moment, I heard the guard yell out of the account:

"General, the big thing is not good!"

"The upstream flood hits, it will be too late if you don't withdraw!"

Xiang Yan "hum" replied:

"This is when the upstream is frozen, where is the flood?"

However, before the voice was over, the Chu army outside the account was in chaos.

Xiang Yan frowned and led the generals out of the tent. What he saw made him startled on the spot... Unknown floods were flooding the Chu army camp one after another.

This is on the west side of the beam, and the Chu army camp is still on a high ground. If the flood reaches here, it means... Xiang Yan's secret path is not good, and the flood is probably caused by the Qin army.

When Xiang Yan hesitated, the water became stronger and ice was still mixed, and several tents suddenly fell.

The minister guards Xiang Yandao:

"The general, hurry up, I'll wait after the break..."

This is just an idiom.

If there are chasing soldiers in the rear, it can still be broken. At this time, it is the flood that is catching up from the rear... how to break the queen?

Xiang Yan knew clearly, knowing that not leaving at this time would be of no avail other than leaving his life, so she immediately took a few of her guards to a high place.

But it was too late to withdraw at this time, and another big wave hit the tent and Xiang Yan together.

The guards exclaimed that they were about to be rescued, but in the flood they couldn't help but were washed away to each other.

It also fits this Yan's life. Xiang Yan was hung by a tree without being rushed out of the tent's twine. Xiang Yan grabbed the tent and struggled to climb up to get out of the water and catch a few breaths. Finally, he was allowed to climb the treetops until the flood subsided.

However, when Xiang Yan came down from the tree, she had already lost her soul.

He didn't act like this because he almost drowned.

As a veteran of Chu, Xiang Yan has long regarded life and death as commonplace.

However, Xiang Yanrong has never encountered the situation like this in his decades of fighting: watching his subordinates being crushed in a tree, but there is nothing to do. He can only watch all this happen.

Then Xiang Yan remembered the main force of the Chu army stationed between Handan and beam...If the beam was flooded, how could the main force be spared?

Sure enough, after the guards found Xiang Yan, the first thing they did was to report to Xiang Yan:

"General Zhang sent a beacon for help, they might be attacked."

Xiang Yan did not answer.

He knew what the beacon meant. They were not attacked, but flooded.

But...how can Xiang Yan go to rescue in this situation?What to rescue?

Xiang Yan's face was so dark that he thought about it and ordered:

"Pass my order, the whole army retreat!"

The general was shocked when he heard this:

"General, many of our troops are trapped on high ground and cannot retreat."

"If our troops withdraw, then they..."

Xiang Yan interrupted the general by raising her hand.

What the minister said may be right, but Xiang Yan knew that if he didn't withdraw at this time, I'm afraid everyone would not be able to leave.

Xiang Yan's decision is correct.

Because it is obvious that this flood was not the normal flooding of the Yellow River but was deliberate by the Qin army.

If it was the Qin army deliberately, then the Qin army would be prepared, and would take advantage of the disaster when the morale of the Chu army was severely damaged and the army was defeated.

Can the Chu army at this time withstand the counterattack of the Qin army?

Obviously not, even if Xiang Yan can barely gather more than 100,000 troops.

Because these more than one hundred thousand troops were swept through by the floods and couldn't even find dry clothes. They stood shivering in the cold wind, or they couldn't even hold their swords. How could they fight the Qin Army?

Therefore, the wisest choice is to escape, to escape this place of right and wrong with the fastest speed.

After Xiang Yan made the decision, he immediately implemented it. He took the remnants and retreated to the south. At this time, only Chen Cheng in the south was still safe.

Xiang Yan was still a little unwilling to retreat.

Xiang Yan wanted to know what was going on and who he was losing.

So he left a group of spies pretending to be the people of Wei State to listen to the news.

This task is not difficult to complete, because at this time Shen Bing's deeds have been spread throughout the army and even among the people of Wei.

This was actually passed on by Yang Duanhe intentionally.

Because Yang Duanhe believed that erecting a hero would be more beneficial for the Qin army to rule Wei in the future, and the Qin army also needed such a hero to boost morale.

So Yang Duanhe deliberately revealed more information, more details, and even made up some to beautify and deify.

For example, Shen Bing made a calculation and figured out where the Chu army would deploy the main force, and then chose to attack the main beam without retreating.

These news spread quickly by word of mouth among the people.

It is said that Shen Bing had the help of Thunder God to split the upper ice layer, so that the Chu army could be flooded.

Not to mention, this trick is really useful, the ancients were very fond of ghosts and spirits.

This made Qin Jun also think that he had the help of God, but Chu Jun was even more guilty, and his morale was further distanced.

Then Xiang Yan received relevant news before he escaped back to Chencheng:

"Shen Bing? Is this all Shen Bing's strategy?"

The spy replied:

"Back to the general, it's true."

"It's the Shen Bing who invented the waterwheel and dumped it to cure Zhao's drought."

"they said……"

Xiang Yan asked:

"what did they say?"

The spies answered:

"They said Shen Bing was sent by the gods to help Qin unify the six nations!"

"That's why Shen Bing was able to make meritorious contributions when attacking Zhao, then fighting drought in Zhao, then attacking Yan and Wei..."

The last spy did not dare to say, there was another Yan Chu.

Xiang Yan wouldn't know this, he just gritted his teeth with a sigh of anger.

Xiang Yan certainly didn't believe in these ghosts and gods.

But if you believe it, you will have nothing if you don't believe it.

Xiang Yan didn't believe it but couldn't stop others from believing it.

As long as others believe it, the Qin State's unification of the six countries will become a matter of utmost justice and unstoppable.

It is especially important to win the political letter.

When this "rumor" reached Handan Yingzheng's ears, he slapped his thigh:

"Hey!"

"If Shen Bing was not sent by the gods to help the widows unify the six nations, how can they kill Li Mu?"

"You know that Li Mu was an obstacle that Qin State couldn't clear after more than ten years, but Shen Bing got rid of it at once."

"And how can he invent so many things?"

"How can I repeatedly borrow food to wake up the widow?"

"How can..."
