Daqin Engineers

Regarding Chen Cheng Liangcao, only Shen Bing knew the true situation.

Who made the soldiers stationed in Chencheng be the Liangjun?

As for whether he lied about the military situation...Shen Bing believed that Yang Duanhe would understand if he explained a little at that time.

In fact, from Yang Duanhe's point of view, the most important thing is to be able to break through the Ruyin line of defense, and the rest are just small sections.

At this time, Yang Duanhe thought that the grain and grass were really burned, so he ordered the entire line to withdraw.

On the other side, Xiang Yan couldn't figure it out when the Qin army retreated.

This Qin Jun had clearly solved the supply line problem and built a walled city outside the city. Even the trebuchet was built, but he suddenly withdrew...

Xiang Yan's first thought was that this was the trap of the Qin army, the purpose of which was to induce the Chu army to fight.

Therefore, Xiang Yan stayed on and watched the Qin army retreat.

In fact, Xiang Yan did not dare to play for another reason.

Generally, chariots and cavalry are used to chase the enemy, because only these two arms can catch up with the enemy's rank and kill.

Among them, the chariot has higher requirements on the road, and it is not suitable for driving if it is slightly rugged.

Cavalry can gallop across all terrains.

The question is...how can the cavalry chariot dare to chase the enemy with the black armour?

If one is not good, if he fails to chase the enemy, he becomes a prey. Wouldn't it make a joke?

In addition, the situation was unknown, so the cautious Xiang Yan preferred to guard in the city.

It wasn't until the sky was dark three hours later that no one came to report:

"Admiral, the Zhao clan sent someone to report that Changping Jun made an incident in Chencheng and burned a large amount of grain and grass for the Qin army."

"The Qin Army retreated because of this."

Xiang Yanteng jumped up from the ground and asked:

"Really?"

The messenger answered:

"It's true, my subordinates have seen Lord Changping."

"There were also more than 3,000 Chu Min who were with them. They robbed dozens of grain ships along the way and descended into the Chu Realm!"

Xiang Yan's frowning brows instantly relaxed:

"Good Lord Changping, it's time to do something."

"It's true that the heavens helped me, and the Qin army should have such a defeat."

"Come on, let the order go on, and immediately chase after it!"

As soon as the Chu Jun Bullhorn was blown, it launched a chase overnight.

However, it was a pursuit, but it followed the Qin army cautiously to recover the city.

Especially during the day, Chu Qi usually dared to step forward when he confirmed that the main force had arrived... They were afraid of being beaten by the Black Armor.

In fact, the Black Armed Forces only have more than 3,000 people, and this line of defense from Ruyin to Chengfu has more than two hundred miles. Even the Black Armed Forces have three heads and six arms.

Shen Bing was waiting in Taocheng.

Taocheng is where the Qin Army's supplies came ashore, and Qin Army must ensure that his supplies will naturally return on both sides of the Shahe River as they came.

Otherwise, if the river is cut off, it is not a retreat but a collapse.

Shen Bing waited for three days before Yang Duanhe.

This is where Yang Duanhe's steadiness is. The retreat is not just a turn around like you imagined.

If so, it is easy to be chased and killed by the enemy without fighting back.

The retreat should be organized into several teams, and then cover each other in an orderly retreat, so the slower speed will naturally take longer.

When Yang Duanhe saw Shen Bing, he shook his head and sighed:

"People are not as good as heaven. Who would have thought that Lord Changping would rebel against Qin at this time!"

"This guy is hateful, but the old man is misleading."

Shen Bing stepped forward and comforted:

"The general said that perhaps Chu State should not die."

"But there is something to report to your subordinates, General..."

Yang Duanhe understood, he drove away his guards, and smiled bitterly:

"Do you still have a way to withdraw from the enemy?"

"In this situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the gods to save the defeat."

Shen Bing arched his hands:

"Subordinates think it is not the case."

"The situation is now in favor of our army, and the Chu army's destruction is imminent!"

Yang Duanhe could not help but wonder:

"Our army has been burned, and the Chu army has counterattacked. How can it be beneficial to our army?"

Shen Bing handed a roll of paper to Yang Duanhe and said:

"This is a secret copy of Chen Chengshou General Wang Tuo."

"He has been ordered by his subordinates to move the grain and grass to another place before the granary is burned."

Yang Duanhe's eyes lit up instantly:

"So... the grain hasn't been burned?"

Shen Bing replied:

"Not burned."

Yang Duanhe asked again:

"Then why..."

In the next second, a smile appeared on Yang Duanhe's face, and he nodded at Shen Bing frequently:

"Wonderful plan!"

"Pretending that the food and grass were burned to lead the Chu army to chase, this is to lead the snake out of the hole!"

After a pause, Yang Duanhe looked at Shen Bing in shock:

"But you have already guessed that Changping-jun will reverse it?"

Shen Bing replied:

"Exactly, it is the subordinates who will use the plan to attract Chu soldiers to attack."

Shen Bing did not say the secret plot between him and Changping Jun.

This is no trivial matter. If it spreads out or Changping Jun refuses to surrender at that time, Shen Bing will provoke a commotion.

Yang Duanhe sighed:

"The lieutenant's foresight makes the old man admire."

"The old man also said that he would have to spend more than half of his troops on Rushui for several months before he could win."

"I don't want the lieutenant to have already set up a series of tricks."

"With the lieutenant, there is no reason for Chu Jun to survive!"

After thinking about it again, Yang Duanhe frowned and said:

"But Xiang Yan is extremely cautious."

"This time the Chu army pursued it from a distance. If our army stops, I'm afraid..."

Shen Bing knew what Yang Duanhe was worried about.

The purpose of such a trick to lure the enemy out of the city is to eliminate the enemy's vitality.

However, if you want to destroy the enemy's vitality, the enemy must advance aggressively, and only if aggressively advances can it encircle its main force and kill a lot of injuries.

However, Xiang Yan not only did not "advance rashly" but was very cautious. Qin Jun took a step back, followed by one step, and then took a step back and followed another step, and still set up a defensive posture...

It is conceivable that as long as the Qin army counterattacks, Xiang Yan will lead his troops to retreat wildly, and even retreat to the Rushui line again. Isn't it in vain to lead the snake out of the cave?

But of course Shen Bing thought of this, and he pointed to the map and lowered his voice to talk to Yang Duanhe like this.

Yang Duanhe became more frightened as he listened. It turned out that this battle was all planned by Shen Bing. Although his general commanded an army of more than 200,000 to make overall plans, he was actually just a pawn in Shen Bing's hands.

Xiang Yan on the other side didn't notice this at all, and he led the troops to follow Qin Jun to regain Chu land.

When we arrived at Taocheng, we split up into two groups and went up the river.

Because the Chu army also needed Shahe to transport supplies, so the river was no longer closed at this time.

Xiang Yan secretly rejoiced that if this trip hadn't been made by Lord Changping, the Chu army would have been able to hold the Rushui line of defense in this battle.

Now he can win so easily.

On the other hand, the nobles of the Chu Kingdom are more united...at least for now, the nobles have more than 100,000 soldiers in Xiang Yan's hands, and it is not so easy to go back.

Therefore, it can be said that it is due to the national fortune of Chu.

What Xiang Yan didn't expect was that he had just stepped into the trap of Shen Bing.
