Originally, Shen Bing and the Heijia Army did not need to go to the front line anymore. Yang Duanhe meant that they would stay in Ruyin or even withdraw to Daliang to recuperate, and he would handle the rest of the war.
But Shen Bing was still a little worried, especially when the Daliang army was still fighting in the front. How could he, the commander-in-chief, withdraw to Daliang first.
Shen Bing and the Black Armored Army... perhaps should be called the "Shenwu Army" at this time.
As soon as they arrived at the front line, they received a warm welcome from the front line sergeants, whether it was the Liang Army or the Qin Army.
This is a martial style of the Qin army. Because they have been in the western part of the Central Plains for a long time, they have had a lot of contact with barbarians.
The barbarians followed the brutal natural selection and survival of the fittest. The Qin army was relatively more civilized, but of course they respected the strong regardless of their origins.
In the past, the reason why the Qin army looked down on the Daliang Army and the Shenwu Army was because of their origins, but more importantly because the Daliang Army and the Shenwu Army were surrendered by the Wei State.
The surrendered troops were considered weak in the eyes of the Qin army, and it was natural for them to be looked down upon.
But now, the Daliang Army and the Shenwu Army have each proven their worth on the battlefield. Among them, the Shenwu Army has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements and achieved a record that even the Qin Army could not even imagine, and was awarded a name by the king. So The Qin army's attitude towards them changed from this.
Wei Wei came up with a few personal guards, and from afar he held his hands in his arms and said with a smile:
"Lieutenant, can you please not come?"
"In the battle of Ruyin, the deputy general and the Shenwu Army became famous all over the world, and the subordinates and the Liang Army were honored!"
Shen Bing smiled bitterly and replied:
"Speaking of being famous all over the world, it almost went down in history!"
Wei Wei couldn't help laughing:
"If one survives, there will be future fortunes."
"What's more, with only tens of thousands of people in Chu's army, how can they take the life of the lieutenant general?"
Shen Bing was speechless for a moment, just tens of thousands of people?
However, Shen Bing didn't waste any time talking to Wei Yao. Of course, his first thing was to visit Yang Duanhe.
At this time, several pontoon bridges had been erected on the Huaihe River to facilitate the Qin army's return. Wooden piles were driven upstream and downstream to pull up chains to seal the river to prevent the Chu navy from coming to rescue. Therefore, the natural danger of the Huaihe River was in vain.
Shen Bing looked at Shouchun in the distance, which was besieged by the river and the Qin army. Although he was tall, he was alone like an isolated island. Even the banner with the word "Chu" on the top of the city was fluttering feebly, with a kind of saying. Unable to escape the loneliness.
While walking forward, Wei Yao introduced to Shen Bing:
"There are 20,000 Liang troops in Huaibei, guarding the east, west and north gates."
"General Huainan leads 80,000 Hanoi troops to guard the two gates on the south side."
This troop deployment is reasonable.
Although there are three city gates in Huaibei, these three city gates are all trapped by the Huaihe River. As long as trebuchets and crossbowmen are deployed on the other side of the Huaihe River at the city gate, the Chu army can be easily sealed inside the city gate.
The two city gates on the Huainan side are connected to the ground.
Moreover, these two city gates are still installed in the Big Weng City... The so-called Big Weng City has two large gates in order to send more troops out of the city to fight at one time.
In addition, the trebuchets and crossbowmen at the top of the city can also cover the formation out of the city, so it is difficult to block the south side, so more troops are needed.
Wei Wei continued:
"I have another 30,000 Daliang Army stationed in Taocheng and the cities along the way."
"At this point in the battle, the Daliang Army has lost nearly 20,000 soldiers."
Shen Bing nodded.
Twenty thousand people is just a number, but when he thinks that the Ruyin Shenwu Army only suffered more than a thousand casualties and there were corpses all over the ground... Shen Bing felt inexplicably heavy in his heart.
This is a very strange mentality.
When Shen Bing was a soldier or even an engineer, he had comrades-in-arms. Although the casualties of his subordinates were felt, they were not profound.
But now, when Shen Bing heard the number of casualties, it was like a red-hot iron burning a number into his heart.
Investigating the reason, Shen Bing believes that this may be because he was helpless in the past and just went with the flow, and the casualties on the battlefield had little to do with him.
But now, the strategy was decided by Shen Bing, the soldiers were trained by Shen Bing, and the troops were commanded by Shen Bing... The deaths and injuries of these people are directly related to Shen Bing.
So Shen Bing couldn't help but wonder if he could have avoided some casualties if he had worked harder or made his plan more perfect.
However, it is useless to think about this. Shen Bing also knows that this is too idealistic.
After a while, the two of them arrived in front of Yang Duanhe's handsome tent.
When the guards saw Shen Bing, they immediately stood in awe and rushed to inform Yang Duanhe without any instructions.
Yang Duanhe quickly came out of the tent to welcome Shen Bing, and when he reached Shen Bing, he held his hands in joy and said:
"Why don't the fifth doctor rest in Ruyin for a few more days?"
"The difficulties will be solved by the five great officers, and minor matters like the siege can be left to me."
Yang Duanhe intentionally called Shen Bing the "Five Great Masters" and also congratulated Shen Bing on his promotion to the rank of nobility.
To be honest, Yang Duanhe actually has a sense of crisis. His title is only that of right concubine, but it is two ranks higher than Shen Bing.
If Shen Bing continues to be promoted at this rate, it will be just around the corner to surpass Yang Duanhe.
However, Yang Duanhe thought further. He would not think about suppressing Shen Bing like Chen Wei did.
In fact, it should be said that Yang Duanhe is not that stupid... You must know that Shen Bing's promotion to the rank was the intention of the king, especially the reward of a hundred taels and the title of "Shenwu Army".
A bounty of one hundred taels was normal, and Wang Jian often received this treatment when he won. Yang Duanhe naturally knew this after following Wang Jian in his expeditions.
But giving the name "Shenwu Army"... This has never happened before.
This is enough to show that Shen Bing has been valued by the king, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a famous person. At this time, if Yang Duanhe continues to suppress him, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
Therefore, Yang Duanhe knew in his heart that with Shen Bing's age and talent, it was only a matter of time before he would be ranked above him.
It’s better to be a good person now and do your best to win over someone until later.
That's why Yang Duanhe came out of his tent to greet him. Otherwise, as a general, there was no reason to come out to greet a deputy general.
Then Yang Duanhe asked with concern:
"Is the deputy general's injury not serious?"
Shen Bing quickly raised his hands and replied:
"Thank you, General, for your concern. It's just a skin injury, nothing serious."
Yang Duanhe nodded:
"That's good. I'll call Xu Xian to prescribe some medicine for you later."
"The Chu land is very humid, so you must not be careless."
But Xu Xian was Yang Duanhe's disciple... The witch doctors who accompanied the army were usually low-level quacks. Naturally, those at the general level would not trust them to treat him, so they would bring a "personal doctor" with them.
Shen Bing thanked him quickly, feeling a little strange why Yang Duanhe suddenly became so polite.
However, Shen Bing didn't take it too seriously. He only said that Yang Duanhe had such an attitude because he was in agreement with Yang Duanhe's wishes in the Ruyin battle and reversed the situation of attacking Chu.
While Shen Bing was in a daze, Yang Duanhe sat back in front of the case and said to the map on the case:
"The deputy general's is just right."
"This is our army's defense map. Lieutenant General, check if there are any problems?"
