In order to meet the deadline, Shen Bing and others worked until late that night.
Then I only slept for two hours, and was woken up again when it was getting dark.
So being an engineer is not easy.
In fact, it should be said that no one in Qin will be easy...
The success of Shang Yang's reform actually turned the entire Qin state into a war machine and wrote it into law.
For example, the definition of the three armies is to make full use of everyone, including women, the elderly and the weak.
This system will indeed make Qin strong, even strong enough to defeat the six countries and unify the Central Plains.
However, the people at the bottom are overwhelmed and suffer deeply.
So in just twenty years, Chen Sheng declared that "the world has been suffering from Qin for a long time" and then started a vigorous revolution.
However, that was not what Shen Bing was concerned about at this time.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he was secretly pulled aside by Xun.
It can be seen from the expression on Xun's face that what he is about to say is not good news.
Sure enough, I heard Xun say:
"Something bad happened!"
"The Chinese army took over the defense of Ci County last night."
"I heard that the captain will be here soon."
Shen Bing immediately lost all sleep.
"Master, are you talking about that little girl?"
"She took over the defense of Ci County?"
"Does that mean you took over us?"
"She's not doing this just to take revenge, is she?"
…
Xun glared at Shen Bing angrily.
"For Xiao Nizi, Xiao Nizi."
“I still don’t know the seriousness of the matter until now!”
"It's unknown whether the captain came for you, but it is said..."
After saying that, Xun whispered in Shen Bing's ear:
"It is said that this woman will definitely retaliate against you."
"Whether she comes for you or not, you and I must handle it carefully!"
"Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to wait for this trip, do you understand?"
Shen Bing quickly nodded in agreement.
By this time the rain had stopped and the sun slowly rose from the east.
But Shen Bing felt a large dark cloud rushing toward him.
Just as they were about to start work, they saw a group of female soldiers wearing leather armor coming forward and lining up on both sides.
In the center is a female general on horseback, wearing a plate crown and flower-knotted armor, with willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, red lips and white teeth.
Coupled with the fact that he was wearing a black cloak and riding a horse with a gun in his hand, he looked very heroic and majestic.
Although Shen Bing knew it was Yang Ting, he didn't recognize her.
I thought it was evening and raining when I saw her yesterday, so I didn't notice such a beauty.
When Shen Bing was in a daze, Xun pulled Shen Bing's sleeve to wake him up.
Several people followed in an orderly manner and came to Yang Ting to bow.
"Subordinates, please see the Captain!"
Yang Ting didn't even bother to look at Xun in front of her. She glanced at everyone and then raised her head towards Shen Bing.
"You, yes! It's you!"
"Are you the gentleman from yesterday?"
"The one with the twine on the wheel."
"May I have your name?"
Shen Bing wanted to pretend to be stupid at first.
But after taking a look around, there were only a few public servants, so trying to fish in troubled waters and pass the test was not feasible.
So he had no choice but to bow to his scalp and say:
"The villain Shen Bing has met the captain!"
"My lord, you have such a good memory. It was the villain who suggested tying hemp rope yesterday!"
"If the captain wants to reward you based on your merits... I'm sorry that I dare not accept it!"
"Because the villain said yesterday that after the carriage went up the steep slope, it had nothing to do with the villain anymore!"
Shen Bing was going round the way to remind Yang Ting of "keeping her word" last night.
How could Yang Ting not know Shen Bing's intentions?
She just smiled, feeling that this gentleman was quite interesting.
This tone seemed to be teasing and even a little threatening.
How could anyone dare to talk to her like this before?
However, if the gentleman thought that he would be spared if he just said "his word".
That may not be too naive.
You must know that yesterday I was covered in mud, and there were even a few stinking headless corpses in the mud.
If I don't avenge this revenge, how can I, Yang Ting, lead the Chinese army?!
"Of course!" Yang Ting replied.
"Of course my captain remembers yesterday's promise!"
"but……"
As she spoke, Yang Ting glanced at everyone, puffed up her chest and said loudly:
"The general has an order!"
"The military situation ahead has changed!"
"In order to prevent the Zhao army from unexpectedly attacking our rear, the general ordered us to prepare defenses at the Great Wall within two days!"
"So, you and others must make up for the gap in the Great Wall within one day to prevent anything from happening!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the craftsmen of the artillery division burst into an uproar.
Within one day?
That is almost an impossible task.
Xun quickly raised his hand and stepped forward.
But before Xun Xun could speak, Yang Ting said in a firm tone:
"Military orders are like mountains, there must be no mistakes!"
"Those who disobey orders will be killed!"
With that said, he pulled the horse's head and turned away, leaving only the craftsmen looking at each other.
At this time, Shen Bing was sure that Yang Ting was deliberately trying to trouble him.
And it seems that the lives of other craftsmen in the artillery division were killed because of this.
The craftsmen vaguely knew that Yang Ting was angry with the gunner because of Shen Bing.
As a result, Shen Bing immediately received many resentful looks.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Xun shouted:
"What are you still doing in a daze?"
"Hurry up and fill the gap!"
"Are you still waiting to lose your head one day?"
The craftsmen responded and hurriedly split up to work.
Perhaps because of the increased speed, soon the rocks on the ground were cleared.
At this time, everyone discovered that the stones and rammed earth used to build the Great Wall had sunk deep into the foundation...
"Dig out these rocks and rammed earth." Xun ordered.
Cang was the first to object.
"master!"
"I don't know how deep these rocks have sunk!"
“I don’t even know how much I’ve sunk in!”
"If we had to dig them out piece by piece and then fill in the gaps, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to finish the work in three days!"
Xun frowned and replied:
"so what?"
"Build a new wall on this rubble?"
"You must know that there are many gaps between the rubble. If the new city wall is not good, it will collapse due to unstable foundation!"
"Do you think we can escape punishment then?"
Xun's worries are not unfounded.
Not to mention that Qin’s acceptance system is very strict...
Qin Law stipulates that if there is a quality problem with the city wall, Sikong, who is responsible for the inspection and acceptance, will also be punished.
Therefore, the acceptance personnel will be cautious for their own safety.
It is not an exaggeration to say that I am "picky".
Secondly, this is war time.
If there is a problem with the city wall during the war and it is breached by the enemy, it will not be as simple as punishment.
That is a proper death penalty.
Fatty Tun interjected at this moment.
"Master Engineer!"
"But we only have less than one day!"
"Can I ask the Captain for instructions?"
"Ask her for forgiveness for a few days!"
Xun smiled bitterly and shook his head, stealing a glance at Shen Bing.
"If I can plead for mercy, do you still need to say it?"
The craftsmen couldn't help but fell silent.
Shen Bing was speechless. He stepped forward and looked at the foundation, then moved a few pieces of rammed earth away to observe.
Soon he stood up, clapped his hands, and said confidently: "I don't need to build a wall anymore!"
"Why?" Xun asked confused.
"Because!" Shen Bing replied: "Zhao Jun is coming!"
