Daqin Engineers

Chapter 238 Wolf Smoke

Shen Bing can understand Chen Duan's statement.

When they were still Wei Bing, they had no intention of killing the enemy, but Wei Wang had no way to serve the country.

There is nowhere to talk about this kind of mood. They hate to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but they are always holding their breath for this and other reasons. All they can do is grievances and seek perfection. In the end, even the glory and dignity of the soldiers are wiped out. Exhausted.

However, following Shen Bing is another matter.

Shen Bing led them to win one victory after another, and each time he defeated the strong with less than the weak.

Qiancheng water battle, Ruanqiao Town riding and shooting, Wild Wolf Ridge ambush and so on.

Even if the battle before them seemed to be lost, the Black Armed Forces had suffered heavy casualties and exhausted, but they also resisted the siege of the 70,000 troops of the Chu Army with 3,000 troops, and it was still "a glorious defeat".

So Chen Duan was right. They were not only fighting for fame and fortune, nor was it all because of the Twenty Military Merit System, for this kind of enjoyment and glory.

Shen Bing just smiled, and then stopped talking.

After being silent for a while, Chen Duan continued:

"Besides, we don't think this battle will be lost."

Shen Bing asked:

"In this situation, does the captain think I am undefeated?"

Chen Duan replied:

"Wang Ben hasn't returned to the city yet, so it must be a dark game set by the lieutenant!"

"Although his subordinates don't know what the five hundred people led by Wang Ben can do, they know what they or our hopes are."

Shen Bing nodded, secretly saying that Chen Duan was still thinking.

Wang Ben was sent by Shen Bing after ambushing the Chu army in Yelangling.

In fact, we can't say "sent", but Wang Ben's one hundred guards and four hundred black armies, a total of five hundred people, have never returned to Ruyin after the battle at Wild Wolf Ridge. They took their dry food and hid them in the dense forest.

At that time, many people, including Chen Duan, thought Shen Bing was crazy.

The Black Armored Army had only 3,000 people in total, and they were all stretched out to defend the city, but Shen Bing actually sent 500 of them out of the city.

And what can these five hundred people do?

Outside the city, there are tens of thousands of elite Chu troops. If they lose the geographical advantage of the city wall, won't Wang Ben and his 500 soldiers be wiped out in minutes?

But Shen Bing did not give them a chance to object.

If the Black Armored Army thought so, then of course the Chu Army would think so too, so they didn't realize that there was a Black Armored Army outside the city.

Moreover, when returning from Wild Wolf Ridge, Shen Bing's only opportunity to set an ambush.

Later, Chu Bing will besiege Ruyin Tuan Tuan, and it is almost impossible to send troops out.

But what can those five hundred people do?

Sneak attack on supplies?

The Chu army was outside the city, and the supply was endless, and even if the supply was burned, they could still come from the Spring Festival transport, so the sneak attack on the supply would not cause them much pressure.

Flip inside and outside?

This is not right.

Let alone how much the five hundred people led by Wang Ben can play a role, at this time, the more than a thousand black armored troops in the city have been fighting continuously and almost collapsed, and many people have even reached the point where they can't shoot arrows... The bow shoots an arrow and the flesh is blurred.

They can still hold the Ruyin City and attack the Chu army time and time again, relying on the condescending location, poles and beliefs.

At this time, if they were to go out of the city to fight again, even if it was a two-sided attack or even a breakthrough, they would be powerless.

Seeing Chen Duan's puzzled eyes, Shen Bing replied:

"You are right, it's time for them to play a role."

Then Shen Bing cast his gaze on the Chu army camp under the city and said:

"Don't you want to know where they are?"

"They are there..."

Chen Duan turned around and looked down under Shen Bing's gaze. Where there was Wang Ben's shadow, only Chu Jun was busy burying the pot for food and a tent.

Chen Duan looked at Shen Bing puzzledly, and then suddenly understood:

"The lieutenant meant that they had mixed into the Chu Camp?"

Shen Bing nodded, and then ordered:

"Let's put out the smoke."

Chen Duan immediately passed on the order:

"Let's put out the smoke!"

Zhang Qi on the other side is complacent in the handsome camp.

He knew from the intelligence that Xiang Yan's situation was good.

Although Xiang Yanjun had collapsed due to lack of morale, Xiang Yan finally used sand and water to build a line of defense in Taocheng and temporarily blocked the Qin army.

Based on the distance, it would take at least three days for Qin Jun to reach Ruyin.

In the current state, it only takes a day or two for the Chu army to take Ruyin.

At this time, a guard came to report:

"To General Zhuguo, the head of Ruyin city emits wolf smoke."

When Zhang Qi took a look at the account, he saw wolf smoke on Ruyin City, and one in each of the four directions.

Zhang Qi couldn't help laughing:

"Is it too late to release the wolf smoke at this time?"

"What's more, Ruyin is under the siege of Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan.

"I see, Qin Jun is a dead end, knowing that he is at the end!"

It's no wonder that Zhang Qi thinks this way. Putting out wolf smoke is usually a signal to ask for help from a distance, while the main force of the Qin army is entangled by Xiang Yan from a hundred miles away. How can you save Ruyin?!

So Zhang Qi didn't take this wolf smoke to his heart.

But Uncle Xiang came to discuss with Zhang Qi a little worried:

"General Zhu Guo, the Qin army releases wolf smoke... Does it mean they have reinforcements?"

Zhang Qi waved his hand indifferently and said:

"It's just bluffing, and attacking after dinner."

Xiang Boze said worriedly:

"Shen Bing is an extraordinary person, even the general has suffered several times under his hands..."

Zhang Qi felt uncomfortable when he heard Xiang Bo mentioned "General".

We must know that he is the "General of the State of Zhu", and he is the "head of the generals" of Chu.

But at this critical moment of the Chu Kingdom, it was Xiang Yan who led the battle against the Qin Army, and everyone took Xiang Yan as a benchmark, and would always go to the generals.

It turns out that Xiang Yan suffered a loss under Shen Bing, but Zhang Qi wanted to take the head of the sinking soldier in a battle.

So immediately interrupted Uncle Xiang and said in a slightly disdainful tone:

"We are different from the generals and the Qin Army. Under this heavy encirclement, Shen Bing is even hard to fly with wings."

"I'll take revenge for the general this time!"

Bo Xiang is not reconciled:

"But General Zhu Guo, I am not in a hurry when I want to attack the city."

"If the enemy's reinforcements suddenly come when our army is attacking the city, then..."

Zhang Qi frowned, his tone becoming blunt:

"Don't talk too much, you just need to attack the city."

"There are our spies in a radius of tens of miles, where will Qin Yuan be?!"

So Uncle Xiang didn't dare to say anything, so he had to bow his hand and withdraw.

In fact, even if Zhang Qi listened to Mr. Xiang's suggestion to investigate carefully, it would not help.

Why would they think that this "Qin Yuan" was not outside but was mixed in the Chu army.

As for the wolf smoke released by Shen Bing...

On the one hand, it sent Wang Ben a signal to prepare for battle.

On the other hand, it was bluffing like Zhang Qi guessed, making Chu Jun think that the enemy has reinforcements.
