Daqin Engineers

Shen Bing used this strategy correctly.

First of all, this infiltration war caused more than 20,000 casualties of the Chu army in one night... The more the troops, the more complex the composition, the greater the casualties, sometimes too large to imagine.

As soon as the sky came to light the next day, the corpses of Chu soldiers and soldiers were everywhere in the city, and the tents and granaries were all in a mess.

What's more serious is that this created a psychological shadow for Chu Jun: Who can guarantee that the people around him are not disguised by Qin Jun?

Therefore, all the branches of the Chu army only dared to stay with people they knew each other for a while, even in the same army, they were divided into small factions and scattered.

Not to mention it at night, the Chu army would not dare to attack the city at all.Because no one can guarantee that Qin Jun will come in.

This was not bad, but more importantly, Chu Jun found out that there were many more people in Ruyin City. In addition, several "Wei" flags were erected.

So Chu Jun began to use their imagination:

"Isn't Wei Wei the coach of the'Big Liang Army' under the Shenbing system?"

"Could it be the'Big Liang Army' who attacked our army last night?"

"Who else can there be without the'Big Liang Army'? The Black Armored Army has been besieged by our group in the city."

"How many'Liangjun' did you go in last night?"

"Last night, I waited for more than 20,000 people to die or injured, so let’s say that there are thousands of people from the'Liangjun'!

"This……"

All the soldiers of the Chu Army heard bitterness in their mouths.

Those three thousand black armies defended the city and allowed them to attack for a few days and suffered heavy casualties. Now that thousands of Liang troops are coming in, can this city still be attacked?

The soldiers wanted to return, they couldn't make a decision, they just talked in private.

Zhang Qi was so angry that his seven orifices were full of smoke. The casualties were so heavy and Xiang Yan couldn't hold it over time. If he didn't take Ruyin over these few days, he would have lost all of his work.

So Zhang Qi ordered:

"Re-attack, only by taking Ruyin and cutting off the head of the sinking soldier can I calm my hatred!"

Uncle Xiang hurriedly bowed his hand to persuade:

"General Zhu Guo, his subordinates thought that our army should investigate the spies first."

"If there is still Qin Jun in the team, and when our army is attacking the city, it becomes chaotic, I'm afraid..."

Zhang Qi interrupted uncle Xiang without thinking:

"There is no time to investigate the spies at this time. Two days later, Ruyin will die if he doesn't go to Chu State. I have to continue to attack the city."

Bo Xiang answered and then retreated.

But even though Xiang Bo's mouth responded, he was dissatisfied.

This is because he reminded Zhang Qi yesterday.

Although Xiang Bo’s reminders and actions are actually useless, Xiang Yan certainly does not think so at this time.

Xiang Yan would only think:

If Zhang Qi was willing to listen to his postponement of the offensive last night, how could the spies of the Qin army provoke such a chaos and cause heavy casualties to the Chu army!

It's better now. More than 20,000 dead and injured people have taught you a frivolous child, but at this time, they still don't listen to advice, and just do their own thing with a sentence of "How can I find time to investigate".

You must know that there were more than 20,000 casualties in just one night. If you come again a few times, the remaining 50,000 people are afraid that there will not be much left.

Your escort has fewer losses and no need to investigate... The escort’s casualties are indeed relatively small. This is mainly because most of the escorts are Shouchun soldiers and have been training together for a long time. Their composition is single and they are familiar with each other. They are easier to distinguish spies.

But this made Xiang Bo feel grudged instead.

Because in this way, Zhang Qi's order seemed very irresponsible: he ordered the whole army not to investigate if he didn't worry about the spies, which is obviously regardless of the life or death of others.

What's more, the Qin army's reinforcements have already entered the city. At this time, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of troops in the city and countless supplies. How can the 50,000 Chu army outside the city capture it in two days?

In this way, Uncle Xiang was at odds with Zhang Qimian. In addition, Uncle Xiang was in Xiang Yan's noble faction and Zhang Qi was a private soldier of the Chu King, so of course he couldn't tie it together.

After Xiang Bo returned to the barracks, although on the surface he obeyed the order to continue attacking Ruyin, the difference from the previous one was that he just acted, shooting a few arrows on the wall and retreating like a tide.

Then it took time to assemble the army outside the firing range, or use a trebuchet to throw stone bullets far away, which seemed to be siegeing the city, but in fact it was grinding foreign workers.

Bo Xiang is actually doing two things:

One is to investigate spies.

This investigator cannot tell whether it is right or wrong.

That's right, if there were a few more infiltration battles like last night, the Chu Army really couldn't bear it.

That's wrong. Qin Jun has no spies in the Chu Army. Uncle Xiang's doing so will only cause panic inside the Chu Army. There are even many Chu troops who are identified as spies because of unknown transmission.

However, this is a reverse calculation after knowing the result. It is actually necessary for Xiang Bo to do this, and only in this way can he continue fighting at night.

Another thing that Uncle Xiang did was to immediately send a letter to Xiang Yan in a hurry.

The letter reported to Xiang Yan about Ruyin's situation last night and at this time and asked for instructions on the next step.

Of course, Xiang Bo would tell Xiang Yan that the Qin army had already entered Ruyin, and that he was hopeless if he wanted to take Ruyin within two days.

Xiang Yan's face was uncertain after receiving this letter.

If he were in Ruyin himself, he might have seen clues and would not be fooled.

But he is not in Ruyin at this time, all he knows is what Xiang Bo described to him in the letter, and he also knows that Zhang Qi has lost his mind and attacked...

In addition, Xiang Yan also considered one thing: Although he led the army to block the Qin army on the front line of Taocheng, if Qin Jun dressed up as the Chu army, swam across the river and crossed the Chu army’s defense line, and then rushed to Ruyin on the night It is possible to arrive in these few days.

So what else can you think of?After all, it was still a step away.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yan sighed and said:

"Withdraw troops."

Xiang Liang could not help but exclaimed:

"Admiral, if we withdraw at this time, I will give up all our efforts..."

Xiang Yan handed the letter to Xiang Liang, and said helplessly:

"If Ruyin can't capture it, what if our army is here to block the Qin army for ten and a half months?"

"In the end it was just a waste of troops."

Xiang Liang took the letter and looked at it, but there was no sound.

Because Xiang Yan was right, the Chu army was here to block the Qin army to capture Ruyin.

If Ruyin can't conquer... everything loses its meaning.

But of course, Xiang Yan would not say that she gave up on her own initiative.

In fact, Xiang Yan's ability to guard by this time has exceeded previous estimates.

He wrote a letter to Zhang Qi, saying that the Taocheng defense line had been breached by the Qin army, and his troops would withdraw all the troops so that Ruyin was also ready to withdraw.

Zhang Qi was still unwilling after seeing the letter, and shouted:

"In two days, it will take Qin Jun two days to reach Ruyin."

"I can take it down in two days."

How could Zhang Qi think that his siege was doomed to fail at this time.

Because Xiang Bojun was responsible for attacking three sides, if Xiang Bo did not support it, Zhang Qijun's attack would only increase casualties.
