"In fact, my subordinates thought that Zhao Jun wanted me to capture the Great Wall on purpose!"

This made Yang Ting stunned, but after a moment of hesitation, she shook her head and said.

"A bunch of nonsense."

"The Great Wall is a battleground for military strategists."

"How could Zhao Jun intentionally let me wait to take it?"

Shen Bing picked up a branch at random, squatted on the ground and said while drawing.

"Captain, please take a look."

"This is the Great Wall, this is our army, this is Zhao Jun and Handan."

"When our army attacked the Great Wall, because of the new trebuchets, Zhao Jun knew that the Great Wall was no longer defensible."

"Since the Great Wall will fall sooner or later, it is better to set a trap and give up on its own than to be breached by the enemy."

"So, Zhao Jun dug a deep hole under the Great Wall."

"If I'm not wrong, there's more than one deep pit here."

"Zhao Jun only needs to write down the positions of these deep pits, and he can easily break through the gap and enter the city by attacking again!"

Yang Ting's complexion changed, and then she smiled and said:

"But our army has already marched all the way north, how can Zhao Jun cross our defense line and reach the Great Wall?"

"Sneak attack?"

"camouflage?"

"You have underestimated my Great Qin generals too much!"

What Yang Ting said was correct, wherever Qin Jun went, there were three steps, one defense, five steps and one post.

In particular, Yang Duanhe's mind is careful, and it's nothing more than a step-by-step plan.

It is very difficult for Zhao Jun to have the opportunity to sneak attack and pretend to pass the level.

What's more, to attack the Great Wall is not enough for a few hundred or a few thousand Zhao troops who have passed the customs in fools.

It must have at least tens of thousands of troops, as well as sufficient food, grass and armaments.

"Of course it's not a sneak attack." Shen Bing said, "It's not a disguise either!"

Yang Ting asked suspiciously: "What is that?"

Shen Bing drew two lines on both sides of the Great Wall on the ground, and replied:

"The captain seems to have forgotten that the Zhangfu Great Wall got its name because of the natural dangers of Zhangshui and Fushui on both sides of it."

Seeing these two lines, Yang Ting's face turned pale immediately.

"Waterway, do you mean that Zhao Jun will transport troops by waterway?"

Shen Bing nodded.

"Exactly!"

"If I were Zhao Jun, I would send troops to entangle the main force of our army and make it impossible to separate."

"Then secretly attack the Great Wall continuously from the waterway."

"Once the Great Wall is lost, our army will..."

The murderous look in Yang Ting's eyes has turned into fear.

If what this guy said is true, once the Great Wall is lost, the Qin army will be completely wiped out.

Chapter 15 Drain from the Bottom

Yang Ting's scalp tingled with shock.

But after thinking about it, she stared at Shen Bing.

"All of this is just speculation on your part!"

"Only a deep pit can be concluded to be Zhao Jun's trap, and there are such and such formations."

"It's too hasty!"

Shen Bing stood up and cupped his hands towards Yang Ting, saying:

"What the captain said is true!"

"A deep pit is not enough to explain anything!"

"However, if you want to know whether what your subordinates say is true or not, you only need to verify it from three points!"

Yang Ting asked: "Which three points?"

Shen Bing Shi Shiran replied:

"First, do other parts of the Great Wall have human-made deep pits like this one!"

"If there are, my subordinates think that we should fill these deep pits first, so as not to be used by Zhao Jun!"

Yang Ting nodded slightly in agreement, then raised her head to a female soldier beside her.

The female soldier understood, and after answering, she led a group of people to search along the Great Wall in two directions.

Shen Bing continued:

"Secondly, is the main force of our army restrained by Zhao Jun?"

"Maybe Zhao Jun has put up a battle to fight the main force of our army to the death!"

"If there is, the subordinate thinks that the captain should inform the general."

"This is Zhao Jun's poisonous plan. Zhao Jun's real goal is the Great Wall!"

"The general should divide his troops to reinforce the Great Wall instead of entangled with Zhao Jun!"

Before Shen Bing finished speaking, Yang Ting's face became very ugly.

She had just returned from the front line after transporting the supplies, so she knew that Zhao Jun had indeed set up his formation to fight Qin Jun as Shen Bing said.

However, Yang Ting would not easily ask her father for help unless she was sure that what Shen Bing said was true.

"So, what about the third point?" Yang Ting asked.

Shen Bing replied:

"The third point..."

"The captain only needs to send a fast horse to Zhangshui and Fushui to ask."

"See if the number of boats on the river has increased significantly in the past few days."

"And more southbound than northbound."

After thinking about it, Shen Bing added:

"If the captain thinks that these three points are not enough to prove."

"Then we'll just have to wait."

"When Zhao Jun's soldiers come to the city, then the captain will believe that what his subordinates say is true!"

Yang Ting didn't answer, but just glanced at Shen Bing unconvinced, then turned her head and ordered to her side:

"Prepare a few fast horses and head to Zhangshui and Fushui separately."

"Report immediately after finding out the results."

"Even if the horse is exhausted to death, it must not stop!"

Immediately, another group of female soldiers answered "No" and hurriedly prepared their horses to gallop away.

After finishing, Yang Ting said to Shen Bing again:

"If this is not the case, see if I don't tear your mouth!"

At this time Liu Xu stepped forward and interjected:

"Captain, I want to ask him."

"If Zhao Jun is about to approach the city, we should hurry up and make up for the gap!"

"Why do they stop working?"

Yang Ting was reminded by Liu Xu, so she yelled:

"Go!"

"Could it be that you want to rebel and wait for Zhao Jun to come and break the city?"

All the craftsmen panicked for a moment and denied or shouted wronged.

Only Shen Bing remained calm, he asked instead:

"May I ask the captain, how many troops will we have stationed at the Great Wall?"

Yang Ting thought about it and replied:

"There may be more than [-] people!"

Yang Ting had only taken over the Great Wall Defense not long ago, and she did it more for revenge on Shen Bing, mostly as a joke.

So it is not surprising that the exact strength of the troops is not known.

Shen Bing didn't delve into this point, he continued:

"You must know that the Zhangfu Great Wall stretches for hundreds of miles."

"If Zhao Jun comes to attack at this time and we will fill in the gap in the Great Wall."

"How do I know where Zhao Jun is attacking from?"

"Our army's [-] troops are divided into hundreds of miles, and the captain is confident to stop Zhao's attack?"

Yang Ting seemed to recognize something, she looked at Shen Bing in surprise: "You mean..."

Shen Bing nodded:

"The terrain in Ci County is flat and our army has been attacking this section of the Great Wall for several months."

"So most of the city walls in this area are seriously damaged."

"If there is another gap that cannot be filled in time, it will be the first choice for Zhao Jun to attack!"

"At that time, our army can concentrate our forces to defend!"

Yang Ting gasped when she heard the words.

This is a clever trick to show the enemy weakness!

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, who would have thought that this trick came from a public official?

It's in vain that she, the school captain, is stupid enough to fill in the gaps in the city wall.

What if the gaps are all filled and Zhao Jun chooses another place to attack?

The Great Wall is so long, wouldn't the Qin army care about the head and the tail by then?

However, if you show the weakest section to the enemy.

However, our army has made the necessary preparations and assembled its forces, so it will not be difficult to stop it for a while.

The infantry of the Qin army is the best in the world.

Relatively speaking, the gap in the city wall is nothing more than a trivial matter.

When Yang Ting was secretly surprised, a female soldier came to report.

"Captain!"

"A deep pit was found one mile to the east."

"It's the same as here, it's also done by human beings."

Before Yang Ting could speak, another female soldier returned from another direction:
