Chapter 27: Waiting for work

Although what Tian Qui and Zhang Xuan said before were similar, they both advocated defense.

But Shen Bing knew that there was an essential difference between Tian Qui and Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan just wanted to stick to the natural dangers of the Great Wall.

However, Tian was worried that Zhao's army would be passive if he counterattacked hastily because the strength of Zhao's army was twice that of Qin's.

Shen Bing asked:

"So, how do Lord Two and Five Hundred think we should defend ourselves?"

Unless the field quilt can solve the problem of too long a defense line and insufficient troops, any defense plan will be a hooligan.

In the end, Tian Bei was able to solve this problem. He pointed at the map and answered:

"I can wait for the opportunity."

"In short, wherever Zhao's army attacks, our army will reinforce it."

"Of course, this requires accurate knowledge of Zhao Jun's whereabouts."

Yang Ting added:

"Don't worry about this. We have deployed a large number of spies outside the Great Wall."

"As soon as there is any trouble in Zhao Jun, I will get the information immediately."

The advantage of the cold weapon battlefield is that it is easy to grasp the enemy's movements.

It's not like modern times, it's either a train or a car or a helicopter or a transport plane.

Among them, transport planes in particular suddenly dropped a large number of paratroopers thousands of miles away, and before they knew it, they were already in front of them.

In the cold weapon age, people relied entirely on walking.

You can find traces on foot.

Therefore, as long as enough spies are placed around, it is basically possible to grasp the enemy's movements.

That's why it is said that Tian Quilt is better than Zhang Xuan.

This tactic can already be called active defense.

Seeing that Shen Bing didn't speak, Yang Ting continued:

"This way our army won't have to take the risk of counterattacking the city."

"At the same time, it can block Zhao Jun."

“Why not get the best of both worlds?”

However, Shen Bing did not think that this would solve the problem, and his court was handed over.

"I wonder if Lord Two or Five Hundred has ever thought about it."

"The reason why Zhao Jun attacked the Great Wall at this time."

"Zhao Jun thought he could easily capture the Great Wall and use natural dangers to surround the main force of our army."

"If the Zhao army cannot attack for a long time and their troops are severely depleted, do you think they will continue to attack?"

Hearing this, Tian couldn't help but frowned: "You mean..."

Shen Bing replied:

"The reason why the villain advocates counterattack is not entirely because he is worried about Zhao Jun attacking the Great Wall."

"But I am worried that Zhao Jun will not attack the Great Wall."

Tian Bei immediately understood what Shen Bing meant.

He looked at Shen Bing with surprise and shock, as if he couldn't believe that the little soldier in front of him could be so far-sighted.

Yang Ting looked confused:

"Not attacking the Great Wall?"

"Why do we need to worry if we don't attack?"

Tian was answered:

"Supplies for our army."

"The Zhao army only needs to dedicate part of its troops to block the highway, and our army's supplies will be cut off."

"At that time, it will not be Zhao Jun who wants to attack the Great Wall."

"It's because we have no choice but to attack Zhao Jun."

Yang Ting's face suddenly turned pale.

But at this moment, a spy came to report:

"Captain, Zhao Jun is not attacking Anyang."

"They divided their five thousand troops into three groups and captured Anfeng, Beihua, and Dongli."

"The main force divided another two thousand men and went west to get the Lun Palm and smelt the copper."

"The main force has moved to Woniu Mountain to cut down trees and build strongholds for defense."

Yang Ting's expression changed again, because these locations are all choke points.

Shen Bing also didn't expect Zhao Jun to be so clever, easily turning passive into active with just one strategic change.

In fact, this is not the credit of Xuchang and Wang Bai.

If it were just these two people, they would already be deep in the siege battle.

The so-called "deep trap" means that if you cannot win a battle, you are not convinced and then attack again.

The more you attack, the greater your losses will be, and the greater your losses, the more unconvinced you will be.

So the cycle started again and again, and we had to take down the Great Wall before we were willing to do it.

The reason why Zhao Jun changed his strategy was because Li Mu's order happened to arrive at the Great Wall that night.

No need to say more about the order...

On the one hand, they divided their forces to block the Qin army's supply lines.

On the other hand, they occupied the right location, built fortifications, and waited for the Qin army to attack.

At this time, the Qin army was embarrassed.

The so-called natural danger of the Great Wall was destroyed in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Jun does not need to attack the Great Wall, so no matter how strong or dangerous the Great Wall is, it will be in vain.

Therefore, the Qin army had only two choices.

Either go out and fight, or guard the Great Wall and wait to die.

Tian Bei's face was very ugly. He stared at the map for a long time before saying:

"We can only go out of the city to fight."

"And only victory is allowed and no defeat is allowed."

Everyone knows why "only victory is allowed and no defeat is allowed".

Because once defeated, everything will be over.

Not to mention the Great Wall, even Yang Duanhe's main force of 70,000 people would be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Yang Ting asked: "Are there any reinforcements in Hanoi?"

Tian Bei shook his head:

"The general has spent a lot of effort to gather these 100,000 troops."

"Even if Hanoi can mobilize troops, it will only be a drop in the bucket."

"What's more, they still have to protect their food and grass."

Yang Ting gritted her teeth and said:

"The only thing left is to go out of the city and fight."

"This fight should be fought sooner rather than later."

"If we delay for a few more days, food and grass supplies will become increasingly scarce, and Zhao Jun's walled city will probably be repaired as well."

"It will be even more difficult to attack then."

Tian Qui didn't say anything, which seemed to be his acquiescence to Yang Ting's statement.

This does make some sense.

Because even if the Qin army does not have enough troops, the chance of winning is very small.

Even though reinforcements from the Qin Army are still coming from various sections of the Great Wall.

But the Qin army could no longer wait.

The result of waiting any longer is that the Zhao army's fortifications will become increasingly better and more difficult to attack.

But Shen Bing didn't see it that way.

Just when Yang Ting was about to give the order to assemble troops, Shen Bing stopped him and said:

"Wait a minute, the spy just said..."

"The Zhao army camped at Woniu Mountain to cut down trees and build a stronghold?"

Yang Ting asked doubtfully: "So what?"

Shen Bing did not answer but asked: "How was the walled city built?"

Yang Ting was confused. As an artillery technician, she didn't know how to build a walled city?

Shen Bing immediately realized this mistake and hurriedly explained:

"The villain is just..."

"I want to confirm whether the Zhao army's fortress is similar to our army."

Tian was answered:

"Not much difference."

"They all use sharp wood as a roadblock in front and logs as a wall in the back."

"On the wooden wall, set up a female wall and an arrow tower."

"If we have enough time, we will add a turret and install a trebuchet!"

Shen Bing then asked: "Are these city walls, arrow towers, etc. all made of wood?"

"Of course!" Tian was answered: "Building a village based on the mountains and using local materials, wood is fast and convenient."

Shen Bing asked again: "The cutting of wood to build the wall requires chopping and sawing. There must be a lot of wood chips near the city wall."

"That's true!" Tian Bei nodded.

Then Tian Bei seemed to realize something and said:

"Do you want to attack with fire?"

"Zhao Jun will not pile sawdust with the city wall."

"What's more, the rocket's range is limited and its fire head is small. It's been raining for days..."

Shen Bing interrupted Tian Qui: "What if it wasn't rockets?"

Tian Bei and Yang Ting unanimously cast doubtful glances at Shen Bing:

"What can we use if we don't have rockets?"
