Daqin Engineers

It was more than ten days later when Shen Bing heard Chu Jun's intelligence.

At that time, fifty craftsmen from the engineering battalion had been selected.

At this time, Shen Bing believed that human potential is limitless. Before that, no one would have thought that craftsmen could also learn to ride horses. However, in just one month, more than a hundred people learned.

And because there were only fifty people in the Black Armour, more than a hundred people also spontaneously participated in several equestrian competitions, and finally fifty people were appointed.

Fatty Tun was one of them. He happened to win more than 40 places with his tail hanging in the competition.

But this month he also lost a lot of fat.

Shen Bing didn't need to worry about these things, he was ordered to lead the artisan as the chief of the village without much consideration.

The reason why he was allowed to manage it was because he had previously served as Zuo Gongshi and managed more than 100 people, and now it is more than enough to manage 50 people.

But it seems not so easy.

Although the number of these craftsmen is small, they are owned by all divisions. Among them, there are even blade masters.

The reason why Shen Bing did not let him be an engineer is because he is more like a craftsman than an engineer.

He is more interested in sword making skills and methods. If it weren't for meritorious promotion to bring a better life to his family, he would not consider anything else.

This is one of the reasons why I want to follow Shen Bing.

The owed ideal is: After the title is promoted to the official, the doctor has his own fief and food town, he can concentrate on the sword.

Of course Xiao didn't know, the Shen Bing he followed was properly called the "Master of Swordsmith".

This is something.

As soon as Shen Bing settled down, these craftsmen had their guards to report:

"Lieutenant, the general has ordered you to come to his handsome account!"

Shen Bing's heart was stunned.

Shen Bing kept rushing to make armor for no reason. He believed that the Chu Army would not give the Qin Army so much time, especially the Black Armored Army.

This is actually not hard to guess.

Sometimes war is a fight for the initiative.

At this time, Chu Jun was very passive, not even just passive. If he continues to wait like this, Chu Jun will only have a dead end:

The upper beam, the heavy city of the upper reaches, was occupied by the Qin army, and the whole army was panicked. One day when the Qin army is ready, they will go down the river to attack the city and seize the land...

Chu Jun continued like this and had to wait and die.

Of course Chu Jun would not be willing.

Therefore, the Chu army had only one choice: to preemptively disrupt the strategy and rhythm of the Qin army.

Shen Bing was right. When he arrived at Yang Duan and Shuai Zhang, he saw that the other generals were already in place.

More than a dozen famous school lieutenants were standing by on both sides, and several generals were sitting around discussing with Yang Duanhe in front of the case, and there were several masters who were in charge of recording.

Seeing Shen Bing coming in, Yang Duanhe beckoned Shen Bing to come forward.

"You came just right." Yang Duanhe said: "The Chu army sent troops from Caozhou, and it was the water army."

Shen Bing understood that if the Chu army used the navy, then the Qin army should also fight the navy.

Yang Duanhe continued:

"The goal of Chu Jun is to hold the city!"

"At this time, the water has not retreated, and the Qiancheng area is full of oceans. There are only a few small forts and highlands that can still stand on, but I don't know what the Chu Jun did!"

It's still winter.

In order to flood the Chu army, the upper reaches of the Yellow River was melted away, but the lower reaches of Jinkou has not melted...

Ying Zhengben also imagined that Jinkou would be sealed and melted to release floodwaters to reduce the disaster.

Helplessly, Jinkou is the region of Yan Country.

Although the Kingdom of Yan has been beaten by the Qin army without any strength to fight back, the Kingdom of Qin, who is now in tension with the Kingdom of Chu, certainly does not want to provoke Yan.

So I can only wait for the beginning of spring next year.

As a result, the flooding in the area of ​​Qiancheng became more and more serious, and the people in Qiancheng had moved away, leaving only an empty city half flooded.

The small forts in the surrounding highlands are also uninhabited...no food is a dead end.

Only a few soldiers of the Qin Army were stationed in the small fort on a wooden platoon while paying attention to the water conditions.

But he didn't want the Chu army to send a navy army to capture this area.

Shen Bing only asked:

"How many troops does the Chu army have?"

Yang Duanhe answered:

"Not many troops, more than a thousand navy."

Li Yan interrupted and said:

"General, why do I need to discuss here?"

"The Chu Army has only a thousand navy troops, but the Black Armored Army has 3,000. Isn't it time to send troops to train at this time?"

"If Captain Shen doesn't want to play, let me wait to get them in the raft."

The words made no secret of the ridicule of Shen Bing and the Black Armored Army.

No wonder Li Yan was dissatisfied with Shen Bing.

The generals in the tents around Li Yan are mostly noble children. They have to study in the school and then be sent to the army to serve. Not to mention that it will take ten years to be promoted to the rank of lieutenant.

And Shen Bing was promoted from a soldier to a lieutenant within half a year, how can they be reconciled, especially Shen Bing is still a civilian...

At least in their eyes they are civilians, and they are still uneducated civilians.

A considerable part of the reason why the nobles despise the common people is that the common people have no education.

How did they know that Shen Bing received much more education than them...

Shen Bing ignored Li Yan. He looked at the map and said to Yang Duanhe:

"General, I'm afraid it won't be so simple."

"The Chu army at this time captured the city, obviously not for plundering but for garrison."

"If it is for garrison, there can be no more than a thousand people."

Yang Duanhe doubted:

"Garrison?"

"The wall of Qiancheng City has been submerged by the flood, and there are only a few highlands and a few surrounding small fortresses that can be stationed, and there is no food or water, how to garrison? What is the meaning of garrison?

Shen Bing replied:

"Subordinates thought that what Chu Jun was guarding was not at this time, but after the flood receded in the spring of next year!"

Shen Bing pointed to the map and said:

"Please see, general."

"As soon as the flood recedes, the canals around the city will appear again."

"At that time, the river channel will connect the small fort to become the outer defense line, and the main force of the Chu army will be the main force of the Chu army to consolidate the defense..."

Li Yan interrupted Shen Bing:

"School Wei Shen is afraid to worry too much."

"If the flood recedes, the city will be under the attack of both Handan and Daliang in Daqin."

"At that time, Chu Jun will have three heads and six arms, and it will be even more difficult to hold the city."

Shen Bing asked back:

"Vice-General Li knows, what will happen to the vicinity of Qiancheng if the flood recedes?"

Li Yan raised his head:

"What can be the case?"

Yang Duanhe was aware of the problem, so he nodded and said:

"rational."

"The river is turbid and unclear. After months of raging, the flooded area near Qiancheng must be covered in silt."

"At that time, our army will want to attack, I am afraid that it will not be able to attack."

The silt is not a joke, it is like the bottom of the Bianhe River that has been drained.

At that time, the Qin Army's infantry attacked in the mud below and the Chu Army had built fortifications on the high ground. Ren Qin's army had three heads and six arms to attack the city, but it was a delusion.

Shen Bing continued:

"And after the spring, the rainy season followed."

"At that time, I am afraid that the silt will not be dried for a few months, but Chu Jun can use the river to come from..."

Yang Duanhe agreed again:

"In this way, our army cannot attack Chu."

"Xiang Yan's servant is really scheming."
