Daqin Engineers

Shen Bing could not guess their plan from these little actions of Chu Jun.

But intuition made Shen Bing feel that things are not simple.

Shen Bing found Yang Duanhe for the first time. During this time, he also deliberately observed Chu Juncheng from the south, so he was more certain of his own thoughts.

"Subordinates thought that the Chu army had plans to break through." Shen Bing said to Yang Duanhe: "And it should be from the north."

Yang Duanhe disagrees.

"Our army can use the floating bridge to reinforce Huaibei at any time. What is the difference between the Chu army breaking through from the south or from the north?"

Shen Bing thought about it, then replied:

"In that case, Chu Jun might be able to break my pontoon bridge."

Yang Duanhe could not help but wonder:

"The pontoon bridge is under the strict guardianship of our two armies and has a chain to seal the river. How can the Chu army break my pontoon bridge?"

This is true. The pontoon bridge is the hub for the connection between the North and South Qin forces, and Yang Duanhe is certainly prepared.

The wooden stakes and chains broke the threat of the direction of the Chu Army's waterway, and the walled city on the land blocked the enemy's way of attack... Even Shen Bing could not understand for a while the Chu Army could break the floating bridge.

After hesitating, Shen Bing explained:

"In the past two days, the Chu army suddenly increased in the north of the city, and from time to time someone observed the Huai River under the city."

"My beam army is no more than 20,000 people. If the Chu army can break the pontoon and attack the Beiying on both sides, I'm afraid..."

Yang Duanhe looked at the map, then nodded and said:

"Never mind."

"If the lieutenant is worried about this, I will allocate 20,000 troops to the North Shore to assist in defense."

Although Yang Duanhe didn't believe that the Chu army would attack Beiying, the Qin army was almost the same everywhere...

With the floating bridge, the Qin Army’s more southern battalion can reinforce the northern battalion, and more northern battalions can reinforce the southern battalion.

However, Shen Bing shook his head and refused:

"The subordinate thought this might not be the opportunity I was waiting for."

Yang Duanhe asked puzzledly:

"What does the deputy mean by this?"

Shen Bing explained:

"If the Chu army really wants to break through from the north camp and our army moves its forces to the north camp first, then it is the'grazing and scaring the snake' that prevents the Chu army from breaking through."

Yang Duanhe couldn't help laughing:

"Don't you dare to break through..."

Then Yang Duanhe's smile froze on his face:

"The lieutenant meant that King Chu Chu would be among the breakouts?"

Shen Bing nodded:

"If the Chu army just wants to break the Beiying camp or take the life of my Shen Bing, why bother to fight like this?"

"Subordinates boldly speculate that this move of the Chu army was to save the King of Chu from the city."

Yang Duanhe thought about it and replied:

"Then if King Chu wants to leave the city, he should flee before I arrive at Shouchun, how can I wait until now?"

Shen Bing didn't explain much:

"No matter what Chu Jun has plans, there is nothing wrong with it, so I can try it."

Yang Duanhe thinks about it and thinks it is right. Anyway, the army is boring outside the city, so it's good to use it as a drill.

So Yang Duanhe asked Shen Bing:

"So from the lieutenant's opinion, how should I respond?"

Shen Bing replied:

"It's actually simple."

"I wait for no more troops in the daytime, but secretly increase troops every night, and then return at dawn the next day."

The purpose of Shen Bing's doing this was to let the Chu army know the strength of the Beiying, thinking that the Beiying still only had 20,000 soldiers.

Yang Duanhe accepted it without even thinking about it, because this was indeed a trivial matter.

So during these two nights, the sky was dark and 20,000 Qin troops quietly entered the Beiying through the floating bridge, and then quietly turned back before dawn the next day.

Shen Bing and Liang Bing still do what they usually do.

It was Yang Duanhe's general Li Yan who brought troops to the reinforcements.

Originally, Yang Duanhe didn't need to send Li Yan as a general, because at this time Li Yan is a general and Shen Bing is still a deputy. There will be a command problem: Does Beiying follow Li Yan's command or Shen Bing's command?

However, considering that once the North Battalion is attacked, it is likely to be the enemy's two-sided attack, so the North Battalion actually needs two people to command, otherwise it will be rushing.

On the other hand, the military system and tactics of the Liang Army are very different from the Qin Army's military system and tactics... The Qin Army is a simple five-member, one-five, two-five and one thing, while the Liang Army is organized based on the Mandarin Duck array.

In this way, using only one person to command may also cause problems.

This is also one of the reasons why Yang Duanhe let Liangjun guard Huaibei alone.

In actual combat, the Liang army made a stop in the Qin army's ranks, not to mention the others, even the ranks seemed untidy.

This is not an advantage, but there is no way for Liangjun with weak armor protection.

Therefore, sending Li Yan to command the Qin army is a last resort.

However, Yang Duanhe gave Li Yan an order:

"All affairs are subject to Shen Bing's arrangements, and there must be no objections."

Li Yan replied.

Li Yan at this time was convinced.

Let’s not say that Shen Bing saved his life in the Battle of the City of Water... In fact, the Battle of the City of Water, even though Shen Bing saved his life, Li Yanxin still refuses, he still thinks that Shen Bing is just relying on a little cleverness and luck. , On when will it be Shen Bing's turn to command seniority.

But after Shen Bing designed a raid on Ruyin and used 3,000 manpower to resist the 70,000 army of the Chu army, Li Yan knew that he was indeed a far cry from Shen Bing.

It is a good idea to be able to set up such a coup as to lead the snake out of the hole.

It is brave to defend Ruyin with three thousand troops against the Chu army.

Being brave and conspiring, why does Li Yan look down on Shen Bing?

Although I thought so in my heart, the face-saving Li Yan didn't show it on the face. When he saw Shen Bing, he just bowed his hands and said hello.

Shen Bing did not want to but greeted him, respectfully saluting:

"Subordinates have seen the general."

"The general once asked his subordinates who he hoped to lead the army, and the subordinates thought that this person was the general."

"Now that the general really came to help me, my subordinates are relieved."

This made Li Yan a little surprised.

Li Yan didn't have a good face to Shen Bing before. If Shen Bing were to choose him, why shouldn't he choose him?

But think about it, Li Yan felt that Shen Bing was telling the truth.

Because it is well known that Shen Bing at this time is highly regarded by the king, that is, Yang Duanhe also wants to let him three points, and it is nothing to choose a general to fight together.

Thinking of this, Li Yan's complexion immediately eased:

"The lieutenant praised, Li Yan is just a reckless man..."

Shen Bing interrupted Li Yan:

"Don't say so, the general."

"The general has been leading troops for more than ten years and has studied the marching formation very deeply, and his subordinates have long heard of it."

"Now the security of the city depends entirely on the general."

Li Yan quickly answered:

"The lieutenant doesn't need to see outsiders in this way. This is part of my own division."

The tone and manner are immediately very polite.

The ancients are actually very good to deceive, as long as you say a few polite remarks in minutes, you can put your heart to heart.

Although there are deep city houses like Lord Changping, they are a minority after all.

Shen Bing shouldn’t be able to coordinate with each other just to start a war...
