Daqin Engineering Corps

After a few nights of operation, the dyke line is almost nailed with wooden stakes and connected in a mesh with hemp rope.

When the sack comes, it will be brewed in the same way.

It's just that what the carriage transported was not wooden piles but sandbags.

Deploying sandbags is quicker, just unload them from the wagon and stack them in front of the stakes.

This job can even be done during the day, because Wei Jun can't shoot a few arrows before leaving the pile.

If there is any loss, it is the stone bombs fired by the Wei army... But the Wei army is probably using an old-style trebuchet, which may have a short range, so the threat is not great.

It wasn't until then that King Wei realized something was wrong.

King Wei was secretly happy when he saw the dry water in the Bian River at the beginning of his vacation:

"The Qin army is going to attack the city by intercepting the flow."

"I just need to wait for them to come up. I want to see how Qin Jun can attack my beam!"

"Send the order and prepare for war!"

The crowd roared.

But after waiting left and right, they never saw the Qin army attacking the city. Instead, wooden piles were added outside the city and piles of earth barriers were piled up.

Wei Wang pretended not to understand, and asked:

"What is Qin Jun's plan?"

Wei Wei looked around, startled, and said:

"My lord, something is wrong."

"Qin Jun is going to attack with water!"

The king of Wei pretended to be puzzled and asked:

"Water attack? How about water attack?"

Wei Wei replied:

"Look, my lord, the earth barrier is placed in a circle around the girders outside the city."

"The lower reaches of the Bian River have also been dammed."

"If the Qin army arranges and releases the river water..."

"The river water is stored near the girder and has nowhere to go out!"

King Wei panicked immediately when he heard this.

Most of the city walls in this era were civil structures, that is, partitions plus rammed earth.

Although it can also be waterproof, such a huge city wall has been built for hundreds of years, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions.

If this is flooding the city wall for a few days...

Thinking of this, King Wei hurriedly asked:

"How should this be?"

Ordinary people may say a few words at this time:

"I told you not to bring all the troops into the city, no, I just didn't listen."

"It's all right now, you know what's wrong?"

However, Wei Wei didn't complain at all.

He cupped his hands and said falsely to King Wei:

"My lord, the only plan for now is to go out of the city and fight!"

"Your Majesty, please lead one hundred thousand elite soldiers to fight out of the city..."

I don't want to be interrupted by King Wei before I finished speaking:

"One hundred thousand? No!"

"Only thirty thousand!"

Wei Wei was stunned when he heard it, and there is such a bargain?

The Qin soldiers are [-] miles away from the city, how can they fight with only [-] out of the city?

Chapter 137

Wei Wei hurriedly bowed his hands to the king of Wei and said:

"Your Majesty, either send troops or not."

"If it comes out and doesn't come out or only one part...then it will definitely fail, my lord!"

King Wei still said the same thing:

"If the whole army is exhausted, who will defend the city?"

"If Daliang doesn't defend, how can he win?"

As he spoke, he walked away without waiting for Wei Xing to explain.

Wei Wang pretended to think so because of his lack of security and military knowledge.

Because there is no sense of security, I hope that all soldiers will gather around to protect themselves.

Because of the lack of military knowledge, I don't know that the real protection should be to deploy troops outside the city to fight against the Qin army. Even if two of them fight one, they can finish the Qin army, instead of waiting to die in the city like now.

It is even said that Wei Jun does not need two to fight one, because there are still many people in the city who can be temporarily recruited.

Wei Xing's suffering is because he knows what to do, how to keep the Wei State and let the King of Wei live, but he is tied up by the King of Wei and cannot let go...

So this Wei Wang fake actually killed himself.

But in fact, it is too late to wake up to this point, not to mention Wei Xie, or Sun Wu's rebirth, I am afraid that there is no way to win this battle.

The Qin army not only occupied the dangerous land around Daliang, but also deployed heavy troops to block the city gates, which made it difficult for Wei soldiers to go out of the city to fight.

This is also the place where Wei Xing has a headache.

When Wei Xing was discussing the battle plan with Shicheng, he frowned and said nothing.

Shi Cheng advised:

"General, don't worry, if the troops are insufficient... I won't leave the city to fight!"

Wei Wei sighed heavily, and replied:

"If we don't go out of the city to fight, we will die!"

"Once the Qin army breaks the embankment, where is Daliang City?"

Shicheng asked back:

"Isn't going out of the city to fight a dead end?"

Wei Wei thought for a while, then replied:

"There may be a glimmer of hope for fighting outside the city."

"Although there is little hope, what's the harm in trying?"

Shicheng let out an "oh" and said:

"The general has a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Wei Wei replied:

"There is no way to retreat from the enemy."

"but……"

Speaking of which, Wei Wei turned his gaze to the map and pointed to Bianhe and said:

"We have to wait for the soldiers to move up the Bian River."

Shicheng couldn't help being shocked when he heard this:

"But general, the Bian River is dry and full of mud, so how can we go north?"

Wei Wei sighed:

"Apart from this, is there any other way we can go?"

Wei Wei is right, Wei Bing really has no other way to go.

Because the Qin army almost built a circle of dams around Daliang City. These several-foot-high dams can not only block water but also serve as fortresses. The Qin army guarding them is like guarding the top of the city.

If Wei Bing attacked from other directions, it would inevitably be blocked by the dam.

At this time, Wei Bing has at least three disadvantages:

One is that the suspension bridge at the city gate is narrow, and it is difficult for Wei soldiers to leave the city quickly to expand their forces.

The second is that the quality of the Wei soldiers who have not fought for a long time is far inferior to that of the Qin army's tiger and wolf divisions.

The third is that after the Wei soldiers rushed out, they had to face the condescending Qin army on the embankment at a low place...

This is not the problem of the morale of the Wei army and the lack of follow-up troops. How will this battle be fought?

Therefore, other directions are undoubtedly dead ends, but there is only one direction that is not surrounded by dams, and that is the north water inlet, which is the Bian River.

Wei Wei went on to explain the reasons why he had to do this:

"At least the king is right about one thing."

"If Daliang doesn't defend this battle, it can't be said to have won."

"Therefore, these [-] soldiers can only have one purpose, and that is to go north and capture Guangwu Mountain to prevent or delay the Qin army from breaking the embankment and releasing water!"

"Otherwise, no matter how many Qin soldiers I wait and kill, I still can't save Wei."

This analysis is correct, unless the 20 Wei army rushed out of the city with Wei Wangjia, otherwise the Qin army would only need to break the embankment and release water to flood the girder... Wei would be considered dead.

So Wei Wei really had only one choice: to capture Guangwu Mountain along the Bianhe River.

There are many advantages to capturing Guangwu Mountain: Not to mention that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is also close to Daliang City, and they can echo and support each other from a distance.

What's more important is that Guangwu Jian is at the foot of Guangwu Mountain, and Guangwu Jian is the entrance where the Yellow River flows into the Bian River. If a few boulders are pushed down from the mountain to block Guangwu Jian... then it can stop Qin Is the army flooded?

Even if it can't be blocked, shooting the Qin army at the foot of the mountain with crossbow arrows on Guangwu Mountain can prevent the Qin army soldiers from dredging the silt?

Hearing this, Shicheng's eyes lit up instantly, as if he saw hope:

"What the general said is true, this plan is indeed feasible."

"Even if it can only delay the Qin army breaking the embankment, it would be a great achievement."

"As soon as reinforcements from the Chu Kingdom arrive, the siege of Daliang City will be resolved..."

Wei Xing was not as optimistic as Shi Cheng.

Usually only those who do not understand the art of war and have no combat experience will be overjoyed and sad when studying the art of war.

Because they are often helpless and helpless in the face of difficulties. Once they find that there is a way out, they automatically ignore all difficulties.

This corpse is like this.

What Wei Xi saw was other aspects:

"The Bian River is dry, so we can only walk up through the mud."

"It moves slowly and makes a lot of noise."

"Once Qin Jun finds out..."

Needless to say what happened next.

Going up along the river, that is, forming a long snake formation in the low river.

Once it is discovered by the Qin army and surrounded from both sides...it is almost a suicide pattern.

In addition, the two small forts in Guangwu Mountain are not so easy to win, and after they are taken, they must be able to defend...

The corpse asked in surprise:
