A few days later.
Starting from Lantian, it passes through Bashui and Jushan. Follow the Danshui beside Xiong'er Mountain until you reach the place of Shangyu. After passing Wuguan, we finally arrived at Nanjun.
But unexpectedly, the army did not stop in Nanjun, but marched directly to Nanyang.
When entering Nanyang.
Bai Yan and others saw the Qin army, which already numbered tens of thousands of people, had set up camps.
Seeing this scene, Liang Lang and others couldn't help but wonder.
Didn’t you say it was in Nan County? Why do I look at those armies now, as if they have been camped in Nanyang for a long time?
With doubts.
Liang Lang and others followed the army into the camp.
"Look, there are so many fén wēn!"
Just after entering the camp, Zhuang Jing pointed to the back of the tent in the distance and said.
Bai Yan also saw hundreds of huge mechanical companions at this moment. But he was not surprised. When he saw Bai Yu a month ago, he knew that the Qin army was preparing the canopies and ladders needed to attack the city.
Sun Wu mentioned in his book of war that repairing the oars and equipment and equipment would be completed in three months.
These were all told to him by his mentor Jin Gong himself.
The reason why Duke Jin said this was simply because he had never been to a battlefield. He had always thought that to attack a city was to climb up with a ladder. At that time, Duke Jin scolded him with laughter and tears. If he attacked a city like that, no matter which king he was, he would behead him. head of.
Then the offense told him.
Repairing oars and tools refers to those wooden siege equipment.
The wheel is somewhat similar to the cart of a small wooden house. It has four wheels and is used to hit the city gate during siege. The upper cover is to prevent arrows and the like from hurting the soldiers inside.
In addition to the cannon, the ladder is also the most commonly used siege tool when attacking a city.
Although the pieces of wood cannot be used to attack the city at the moment, after being transported to the battlefield, they can quickly form the ladder needed to attack the city.
Bai Yan has also heard about the ladder. There are rumors that the ladder comes from the Mohist family.
Bai Yan didn't know if this was true, but he heard Jin Gong tell him that after Mo Zhai's death, the Mohist family today has been divided into three factions: Qin Mo, Qi Mo, and Chu Mo.
Qin Mo was good at the research of wooden instruments, Qi Mo lobbied and lectured in Qi State, and Chu Mo was mostly a knight errant.
"Why are there so many!"
"indeed!"
Yu Sui, You Zhuang, Gui and others suddenly heard the old soldiers nearby and were very confused after seeing those soldiers.
In future sieges, wouldn’t the more the better?
But because they were not familiar with it, they did not dare to ask.
As dusk fell, General Cen Zhou led Bai Yan and others to a camp that had been prepared.
"You will settle here today."
General Cen Zhou said to Gui and others.
Hear the words.
Liang Lang, Yu Sui and others nodded quickly.
General Cen Zhou looked at Bai Yan.
"Yan, come find me later!"
General Cen Zhou said to Bai Yan that he would enter South Korean territory tomorrow and may attack the city at any time. Bai Yan wants to log in first and has to register tonight.
"good!"
Bai Yan nodded, and then watched General Cen Zhou leave. He naturally knew why General Cen Zhou called him over.
When Gui, Liang Lang, Gongze and others saw this scene, they didn't think much about it.
After all, in their eyes, maybe General Cen Zhou just had something to explain to Bai Yan.
Inside the tent.
Since ten soldiers slept in one tent, two more soldiers were soon assigned to the tent of Bai Yan and others.
"Let me tell you, the woman who doesn't return to the building is so amazing, and the clothes she wears are amazing."
"Really or not, have you really been to a restaurant?"
"Is that still fake? If you don't believe it, ask them if I've been there."
Yu Sui had a very lively chat with an older Qin soldier.
Liang Lang and others on the side couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene. Who would have thought that Yu Sui would meet someone from the next village.
But when Youzhuang looked at Yu Sui's excited expression when he talked about the women in the restaurant, he couldn't help but think of the wine he drank and the women he met in the restaurant.
I don’t know when I can go again next time.
"Did you guys hear what those old soldiers said just now? The old soldiers said that the number of those people is much greater than before."
Zhuang Jing took off his Qin armor and said to Liang Lang and others.
Listening to Zhuang Jing's words, the fellow who was talking to Yu Sui nodded.
"They are right. There are indeed a lot of them this time. In a normal siege, there are no more than ten cannons and no more than thirty ladders."
The 'fellow countryman' knew that the young men in front of him didn't understand the matter of siege, so he explained.
Liang Lang, Gui and others looked thoughtful when they heard Yu Sui's words.
According to this statement, there were indeed too many traps and ladders that we just saw.
"As for why there are so many this time, I don't know!"
After the 'fellow fellow' finished speaking, he was also very confused.
"Yan?"
Gui asked after watching Bai Yan take off his armor.
Liang Lang and others also looked at Bai Yan.
In their eyes, Bai Yan came from the Bai family and was familiar with military books. They might have seen such situations in military books and could guess some of them.
Bai Yan felt the doubtful eyes of Dao Gui and others.
"It should be to destroy Han!"
Bai Yan said softly. Then he explained the reason to Gui and others,
Generally, the production of hoops and ladders was started during the siege of the city, but here in Nanyang, so many hoops and ladders were made at one time. Such a time-consuming and laborious move was by no means just for a few cities. He guessed that he was worried that South Korea would go to other countries to ask for help and something would happen.
This is why at first we said we were going to Nanjun, but in the end we ended up in Nanyang, close to the border with South Korea.
Zhuang Jing, Liang Lang and others were a little shocked at first when they heard Bai Yan's analysis, but suddenly they felt that what Bai Yan said made sense. Could it be that this time...
Do you really want to destroy Han?
Thinking of this, a young man looked at each other.
The soldier who was talking to Yu Sui just now couldn't help but turn his head and looked at Bai Yan with a surprised expression.
He noticed from the beginning that this young man wearing armor thought that this young man was the son of that wealthy family.
But now that he heard these words, he had a vague feeling that this young man must have an unusual background.
After all, just looking at those people who had just passed away, they could think of the destruction of Han, and they could also tell the reasons. This was not something that ordinary people could tell.
"I'll go find General Cen Zhou first."
Bai Yan put down his armor and spoke to Gui, Gongze and others.
Seeing Gui and others nodding, Bai Yan then picked up the Qin sword and left the camp.
"Yu Sui, who was that person just now?"
When Yu Sui's 'fellow fellow' saw Bai Yan leaving, he came to Yu Sui's side and pretended to pack his things, and asked in a low voice.
After listening to the young man's remarks just now, he was really curious. That person was a child of that family.
"Bai Yan!"
Yu Sui smiled proudly after hearing what the 'fellow' said. Looking at the 'fellow's' puzzled expression. Yu Sui reminded: "Pingyang Bai family!"
"What? He is a descendant of the Bai family in Pingyang?"
As Yu Sui finished speaking, this 'fellow' opened his eyes wide, filled with astonishment.
No wonder. It turns out that the young man just now is a descendant of the Bai family in Pingyang!
This 'fellow' remembered that there had always been rumors, whether among the people or in the Lantian camp, that after Bai Qi, no member of the Bai clan in Pingyang joined the army.
Unexpectedly, he was actually here now, seeing people from the Bai family with his own eyes.
And think of Bai Qi.
"It would be great if Bai Qi was alive."
Yu Sui's 'fellow' sighed, his face full of regret.
Listen to this.
It was not the first day that Liang Lang and others joined the army, so they naturally understood what this meant.
indeed.
If Bai Yan's great-grandfather Bai Qi were still alive, how could their Qin country be afraid of Li Mu. How can people from other countries say, 'Li Mu is here, Qin will be defeated'.
...
When Bai Yan went to find General Cen Zhou.
Outside the handsome tent in the camp, Sima Xing also happened to run into Bai Yu who came with him.
The two have known each other for many years and there is no excessive politeness.
Bai Yu couldn't help but be confused when he saw that there was no Bai Yan beside Sima Xing.
"The boy didn't come with us?"
Bai Yu asked.
Bai Yu remembered that when he left Lantian, Bai Yan said personally that he would come with the army.
"Bai Yan? I've never seen him looking for me!"
Sima Xing shook his head, but he thought that when he was in Lantian before, there seemed to be a similar figure, but he was not sure, maybe it was dazzling.
"Forget it, ignore that kid for now, the war is urgent."
Bai Yu said that although he didn't spend a long time with Bai Yan, he could feel Bai Yan's temperament.
In Bai Yu's eyes, either Bai Yan suddenly decided not to come with the army, or he came but deliberately did not inform General Sima Xing.
Bai Yu prefers the latter.
After all, he could tell at a glance that Bai Yan, that boy, had always been resentful about the Bai family not betrothing Jun Zhu to him.
Thinking that they were going to attack South Korea now, and with the current strength of the army, as long as that kid didn't mess around, there was a high probability that his life would not be in danger, Bai Yu sighed.
Whatever.
It would be great to take this opportunity to let that boy see the world on his own! Let that kid experience how difficult it is to perform meritorious service on the battlefield.
As long as that kid is not stupid, he will find a way to save his life if there is danger.
What's more, it's possible that the kid didn't come at all.
