Daqin Engineers

When the news reached Yang Duanhe, Yang Duanhe was surprised and didn't respond for a long time.

Although he knew Shen Bing's full set of plans and also knew how powerful the cane armor and wheel warships were, he still didn't expect it to be the result... More than three thousand people and one hundred warships defeated the Chu State's 10,000 navy troops in one hour?

And more than 4,000 people in the Chu army were killed and injured at the cost of more than 100 casualties?

Yang Duanhe even thought the intelligence was misinformation, and asked:

"Really? The Black Armored Army has reached Qiancheng?"

The messenger answered:

"It is true that the Black Armored Army has surrounded Qiancheng."

Yang Duan and Qi Dao:

"What about Chu's navy?"

No wonder Yang Duanhe was strange, even if the Chu Shui Army had more than 4,000 casualties, there were more than 5,000 people.

More than 5,000 people are also nearly double the number of Shen Bing's Black Armour.

If this Chu Shui Army cooperates with the Chu Army who is holding the city inside and outside... Can this black armour encircle Qiancheng?

Surrounded by the Chu army is almost the same!

However, Yang Duanhe got the answer:

"Report to the general, Chu Shui Army dare not fight!"

There is a black line on Yang Duanhe's face, secretly saying that this is Shen Bing's great, or that Chu Shui army is useless?

Then he soon knew the answer:

Li Yan, who was defeated horribly, returned first.

According to the original plan, Li Yan should not come back. They have to assist the Black Armored Army in attacking the city... After all, they are infantry, and they are required to attack the city.

After taking down Qiancheng, they will also garrison and build defenses.

However, Li Yan had already suffered more than half of the casualties and had no intention of fighting, so he went back to the main beam first.

Army combat is not a calculation of addition and subtraction. You can simply assume that there are more than 2,500 dead or injured, and more than 1,000 people can fight.

If it is a modern battlefield, the US military may collapse if it is killed or injured by one-third. At this time, even surrender is considered normal. If more than half of the casualties can continue to fight, it can be regarded as an iron army.

In ancient times, close combat with cold weapons was even more fierce, and only Qin Army was the only one who fleeed before half of the casualties were scattered.

But this situation is of course not suitable for continuing to attack the city.

When Yang Duanhe asked about the battle situation, he knew that Li Yanbu had suffered such a fiasco when he was besieged by three thousand Chu troops in Qiancheng.

Then Yang Duanhe changed his mind:

Li Yan's 2,500 people were besieged by the 3,000 Chu army and he was defeated like this.

And Shen Bing led the three thousand black armoured troops to Qiancheng and frightened more than five thousand Chu Shui troops not to move...

At the same place, the Chu army occupied Qiancheng, and the Chu Shui army had doubled but had different results.

So, whether Shen Bingqiang or Chu Junjun is weak, the answer is obvious.

Then came waves of Chu army prisoners being sent back.

At the same time, Shen Bing sent someone to bring news, hoping that Yang Duanhe would send another infantry to take over the small fort...

Yang Duanhe couldn't help but smile:

"The Black Armored Army has also taken the infantry matter away!"

"When has my Great Qin soldier reached the point where he can only receive?"

"And I waited not long ago but I was still making fun of the Black Armored Army being built by the descending army of the Wei Kingdom..."

This only made Li Yan and the captains under the account blushing with embarrassment.

The news soon reached Handan.

Qiancheng is between Daliang and Handan, so the time to reach the two is similar.

To be precise, it will be faster to reach Handan, because from Qiancheng to Handan is downstream.

Ying Zheng was shocked when he saw the report.

He had thought that Shen Bing would win this battle. After all, he was sent by heaven to help him unify the Central Plains. How can he be called a blessed general if he can't handle even 10,000 navy troops?

But according to Ying Zheng's thoughts, this Shen Bing led the three thousand black armies who would fight a hard fight, such as a tragic victory after a few days and nights.

However, the result now is that the victory or defeat is set in one hour, not only fast but also so easy.

Ying Zheng shook his head, then laughed and handed the battle report to Wang Jian, who was waiting by the side, and said:

"How? The widow is right?"

"Shen Bing really lived up to the expectations of the widows, the Black Armed Forces defeated the Chu Army!"

Wang Jian and Li Si took a look at the battle report, and then they stared in disbelief.

Wang Jian and Li Si predicted that this battle would not be able to defeat the Chu army and they should make other plans. How could they have thought of this result.

Wang Jian asked the messenger suspiciously:

"The Black Armored Army has only three thousand people. How can the Chu State's ten thousand naval forces dare not fight again?"

The messenger answered:

"Give it to the general."

"The Black Armored Army is equipped with wheeled warships and black armor. It can kill the enemy with bows and arrows at a distance, and destroy the ship by shooting at a distance.

"The Chu army's more than four thousand navy troops were wiped out in just one hour, while the black armored army only had more than a hundred casualties."

"If the more than 5,000 people from the Chu army barely fight, I'm afraid..."

When Wang Jian heard this, he couldn't help being shocked:

"Wheel ship? Black armor?"

"And the ruined boat... what are these things?"

Wang Jian had just rushed back from the north, so he didn't understand this.

Ying Zheng explained:

"The widow of the wheel warship has seen it once in Daliang."

"At that time, it only took advantage of speed and bow arrow, but this thing is so good."

"With the rod and the black armor that is good for water warfare, it's a good distance."

"Shen Bing once again saved Da Qin from fire and water!"

Li Si thought for a while and said:

"My lord, if this thing is so powerful, why don't I wait for mass production?"

"Will it be of great benefit to attacking Chu along the river?"

Ying Zheng nodded:

"Widow has this intention."

"But at this time, Shen Bing is leading the city to fight."

"It's not too late to make a decision when the war in the city is over."

The battle for the city was actually settled after three days.

The reason it took three days was because Qin Jun felt it was unnecessary to attack, but Chu Jun still held a glimmer of hope.

The reason why the Qin army didn't need to attack was because it was deadly to surrender the city, and there was no need to waste even one soldier for this reason.

Chu Jun had a glimmer of hope, but thought Xiang Yan would organize troops to rescue.

However, as time passed, Caozhou did not move at all, and his defense slowly collapsed.

Mainly there is not much food.

When the Chu army occupied Qiancheng, wood was mainly transported.

Timber can be used to construct arrow towers and castles and must be delivered first.

As for food and water... Caozhou is almost separated from Qiancheng by a river, relying on the strong water force that it can be transported at any time, so there is not much storage.

Who would have thought that the Qin army would defeat the navy and block the city as soon as they arrived, and then the only food left would be consumed the next day, and the third day would be hungry.

The soldiers of the Chu army looked at the surrounding Qin Shui army in black armor and scary masks, watching them casually guarding, eating, and even talking and laughing in a relaxed manner.

So they knew that there would be no hope.

I don't know who took the lead. Early on the third day, Chu Jun put down his weapons one by one and chose to surrender.
