Chapter 26: When something goes wrong, there must be a demon
Shen Bing looked at the soldier's eager eyes and realized that this would not be a good thing.
However, Xun seemed to be knocked unconscious by the soldier's bows and "adults".
Before Shen Bing could stop him, he returned the greeting:
"Thank you, God."
"The gunnery just needs a driver."
"It's just this arrangement..."
The soldier patted his chest: "I'm covered with the uniform!"
Xun couldn't help but be overjoyed: "This will make it easier to build."
The soldier's eyes were so excited that he seemed to be afraid of going back on his word, so he immediately replied:
“It’s a deal!”
"I'll go ask for instructions right now."
"You can just wait here..."
The soldier ran away as he spoke, and before he finished the third sentence, he had disappeared.
Shen Bing and Cang looked at Xun blankly.
They didn't expect that the master who usually looked so shrewd would be so easily fooled.
Xunwu didn't wake up. He looked at the soldiers leaving, and was moved to tears for a moment:
"Oh, I didn't expect my artillery division to end up like this."
"Once upon a time, when did the artillerymen ask for help, they had to beg repeatedly."
"Nowadays, if you just say a word for the teacher, there will be soldiers to take care of everything."
After saying this, Xun paused for a moment, nodded to Cang and Shen Bing beside him, and at the same time gently stroked the three-goat beard on his chin, and said seriously:
"I'm so happy to be my teacher, so happy!"
"One day, with our efforts, the artillery division will become stronger and stronger and will shock the entire army."
"It's not long before I can show off my family and make my name famous!"
…
Shen Bing and Cang almost spat blood onto the ceiling.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and everyone knows there is a scam involved.
However, Xun was already intoxicated in his dream and could not persuade him even if he wanted to.
What's more, there is no joke in the army, and I'm afraid it's useless to regret it now.
Cang looked at the high-carriage man and asked in a low voice: "Senior brother, what should we do?"
Shen Bing replied helplessly: "First find out what's causing trouble for this high-car man."
Cang nodded and responded:
"What senior brother said is true."
"I'll make arrangements right away."
With that said, he pulled Fatty Tun aside and whispered a few words.
Although Cang and Fatty Tun were both ministers under the Shen Bing system, they were on the same level, so neither one had to listen to the other's orders.
However, the ancient spirit and the younger brother of Shen Bing, Xun's apprentice, quickly gained the initiative.
So most of the dirty and tiring work was done by Fatty Tuen Yiwu.
Cang Yiwu supervises the work, does chores, and shouts and drinks.
At this moment, Fatty Tun was summoned by Cang Shi to inquire about news.
The Fatty Tun did not live up to its high expectations, but the time for a stick of incense came back.
He glanced at Gao Cheren who was squatting aside drinking porridge and said:
"Lord Gongcheng."
"The villain has discovered that this high-carriage man was originally a slave who accompanied the officials in the army."
"Then the official died in battle, and he was incorporated into the formation team."
…
The so-called trap team, also known as the death squad, is the kind that rushes to the front of the army to die.
There is a saying that "Those who are trapped in battle will die or not be born again", and this is what it means.
However, although this battle is dangerous, promotion to nobility is quick. No matter whether the enemy is killed or not, as long as one survives, he will be promoted to the first level.
Therefore, many desperadoes are rushing to join.
Cang interrupted Fatty Tun impatiently: "Tell me the important point."
Fatty Tun replied "Nuo", but when he opened his mouth, he continued as before:
"This guy is also very good. After being organized into the formation, he fought in several battles."
"I actually let him survive. Not only did he redeem his freedom, he was also promoted to a noble rank."
"This time because I backed down..."
Cang frowned.
Fatty Tun's shortcoming is that he is long-winded and always talks out of tune.
In desperation, Cang could only ask: "What's the trouble with this guy?"
Fatty Tun was stunned for a moment, then replied:
"trouble?"
"No trouble."
"He just can't be disciplined and runs around."
Then Cang and Shen Bing understood that this so-called "no trouble" was actually a big trouble.
How can a soldier be "unruly"?
That will kill your comrades on the battlefield.
He likes to "run around"...if he gets lost one day, wouldn't he become a deserter?
Wouldn’t the soldiers who were with him suffer the responsibility of "sitting together"?
No wonder the Qin soldiers were eager to get rid of this burden.
Cang asked in a low voice: "Senior brother, what should we do?"
"Let's take it one step at a time." Shen Bing replied: "Teach him how to speak first before speaking."
Unexpectedly, the high-carriage man stood up, threw away the wooden bowl in his hand, and said stiffly:
"I can talk!"
This scene was so shocking that Shen Bing and the others almost dropped their jaws.
After being stunned for a while, Shen Bing realized that this guy couldn't understand before and was just pretending.
Only in this way can he be "unruly" and "run around".
What a smart guy, everyone was fooled by him.
At this moment, Liu Xu quickly ran to Shen Bing and said, "Master, the captain has something to discuss!"
This time everyone got used to it, and there were fewer strange looks.
But as soon as Shen Bing took a few steps, he noticed that the man with the high carriage was following behind him.
Shen Bing frowned: "You can just stay in the artillery division, don't run around!"
The high-carriage man raised his hand and said "Promise", his attitude was very respectful, and he didn't look like he was "unruly" at all.
This surprised Shen Bing.
Cang was also shocked when he saw it.
And Xun began to stroke the goat's beard again, smiling and nodding slowly and forcefully.
School captain camp.
As soon as Shen Bing stepped into the tent door, he heard Yang Ting say:
"As you expected, the Zhao army divided its forces!"
"They separated a group of troops and headed east."
"The target seems to be Anyang."
Shen Bing secretly said that Zhao Jun's reaction was slow, and it only took two days for him to realize that the Qin army's defense was fraudulent.
But this doesn't seem surprising.
The Qin army had been at war with the Zhao army for several months before, and the Zhao army knew exactly how many troops the Qin army had.
At this point only a rough calculation is needed:
Yang Duanhe led the main force of 70,000 people.
There is another large number of Qin troops in Ci County.
How many troops are there elsewhere?
Yang Ting led Shen Bing to the case, where a map made of sheepskin was spread out.
"According to reports from spies, Zhao Jun may have sent 5,000 men to Anyang!"
"Our army has a thousand troops in Anyang."
"It may be possible to stay on guard for a while, but as time goes by..."
Shen Bing understood what Yang Ting meant.
Siege warfare is actually a war of attrition.
The Zhao army's five thousand troops can withstand the depletion, but the Qin army's one thousand troops may only be exhausted in a few days.
Then it will collapse due to too few troops, full of loopholes, or total morale.
At this time, a Qin general stood next to him and said:
"I think we should be defensive."
"If we force a counterattack as planned..."
"Zhao's army has 15,000 troops and our army has less than 8,000 troops. The chance of victory is not good."
"Once the counterattack fails and we lose our troops and generals, we will no longer be able to resist the Zhao army's attack, and the battle will be considered lost."
Shen Bing looked at the Qin general, but he looked handsome and mighty.
Yang Ting introduced:
"This is the master of two to five hundred fields."
"I have been fighting with the general for many years."
"This time, I was ordered by the general to help us defend the Great Wall!"
