What's more, the reason why King Zhao let go to deal with Li Mu was because he thought that the battle situation was stable and he didn't worry about destroying the country.

Now there is Wang Jian in the north, and Yang Duanhe's troops are pointing directly at Handan in the south.

If King Zhao would kill Li Mu at this time, he would be out of his mind.

Even if you believe that Li Mu is rebelling, you have to wait until Li Mu defeats the Qin army before killing him!

So this divorce plan will not work.

Thinking of this, Shen Bing also panicked for a while.

Isn't it as easy as cutting vegetables and melons for Qin to destroy the six countries?

Why is it difficult for Mao Chenbing to cross over?

Is there any reason for this?

Is there still a king's law?

At this time Yang Ting asked again: "Shen Bing, do you still think we should show our weakness to the enemy?"

Before Shen Bing could answer, a Qin general standing aside gave Shen Bing a disdainful look.

"Just an operator."

"How does he know the art of war and how to show the enemy his weakness?"

"What is the captain doing with him?"

"Just blast it out!"

Chapter No.17 Offense is greater than defense

Yang Ting didn't make a statement, she just glanced at General Qin and asked:

"Then in the opinion of two or five hundred masters..."

"How do you think we should defend against the enemy?"

Shen Bing's head "buzzed".

I'll go, two or five hundred masters?

Isn't that Zhang Xuan, the immediate boss of the "Gunner"?

The Qin army is organized in a five-ary system.

Five people one five ten people one even.

Fifty people are called the head of the village, and 50 people are called the hundred generals.

There are five hundred masters for 500 people, and two to five hundred masters for 1000 people.

These two or five hundred advocates are Yang Duan and the chief general of the thousand Qin army who stayed in Ci County.

Before Yang Ting took over the Great Wall Defense, he was in charge of all affairs in Ci County.

Since Shen Bing was a small person whose status could not be lowered, so he only heard his name but never saw him.

"Captain." Two or five hundred advocates Xuan Xuan clapped his hands and replied:

"In the opinion of my subordinates, Zhao Jun is only here for a surprise attack."

"Even if they go south along Zhangshui and Fushui, it will only take a few days."

"According to the fact that there are not many troops, why should we bother to ask the general for help?"

"Of course there is no need to show weakness."

"Our army only needs to build walls to fill in the gaps and rely on the natural danger of the Great Wall. Even if Zhao Jun has thousands of troops, he will never come back!"

As he spoke, Zhang Xuan held the handle of the sword in his hand and held his chest high, putting on a majestic and confident look.

Yang Ting thought for a while, then nodded and replied:

"The words of the two or five hundred masters are reasonable."

"According to the spies' report, Zhao Jun may have 3 people."

"Our army also has [-] troops, it should be a battle."

Hearing what Yang Ting said, Zhang Xuan became more confident.

"What the captain said is true."

"Zhao Jun is the attacking party."

"Its strength is at least twice or even three times that of our army to have an advantage."

"Otherwise, there will be no return!"

This is common sense in cold-weapon warfare. The ratio of forces between the offensive and the defensive should be two to one.

Considering the strong fighting power of the Qin army, three to one is also a normal estimate.

If calculated in this way, it is far from enough for Zhao Jun's 3 people to take down the Great Wall.

however……

Shen Bing didn't think that things would be so simple.

Seeing that Shen Bing looked different, Yang Ting asked, "The operator seems to have a different opinion?"

Shen Bing nodded and replied:

"Lieutenant, this subordinate believes that if we are only passively defending, we will lose this battle..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xuan glared at Shen Bing angrily:

"How brave!"

"Growing the enemy's ambition destroys one's prestige!"

"Are you not afraid that I will punish you for the crime of shaking the morale of the army?"

Shen Bing is so tired, how did he know that there are so many rules in ancient times, and he accidentally fell into another crime.

It was only later that Shen Bing realized that the ancient cold weapon warfare was very important.

So things like "our army will be defeated" cannot be said, especially in wartime.

Fortunately, Yang Ting stood up and spoke for Shen Bing:

"In extraordinary times, you don't have to stick to small details."

"You are talking about why our army must be defeated."

"If you are justified, you are not guilty!"

Shen Bing hurriedly cupped his hands and replied:

"Captain, two or five hundred masters."

"One of the reasons: the subordinates don't think that the Zhao army has only [-] troops."

"You must know that Zhangshui and Fushui are under the control of Zhao Jun."

"Unless our army sends sailors to intercept, Zhao Jun can rely on the two waterways to continuously increase troops to the Great Wall."

"At that time, the Zhao army will only have 3 people?"

Zhang Xuan glanced at Shen Bing in surprise, and said:

"I will send sailors to cut off the two rivers."

Shen Bing expressed doubts about this.

"Can it be cut completely?"

"Even at night, don't let a boat go?"

Zhang Xuan was speechless.

It's fine if it's daytime, but it's almost impossible to not miss a boat at night.

And one boat and one boat can transport hundreds of soldiers or a large amount of military rations.

So what Shen Bing said was right, what Qin Jun had to face was not just [-] Zhao Jun.

Yang Ting asked with a serious face: "Then what about the second one?"

Shen Bing continued: "Secondly, how many strong men and strong women are there in our army of 3 men?"

This brings up the point again.

The "[-] troops of the Qin Army" mentioned by Yang Ting includes the strong women she leads.

Food is very scarce in this era, especially front-line military rations.

Even a gentleman like Shen Bing who has won a title can barely eat enough.

Not to mention the strong women who are responsible for the second-line transportation and most of them have no titles.

This is not discrimination against female soldiers, but a problem of objective reality and the physical strength of men and women.

Yang Ting replied helplessly:

"Among them, more than [-] are strong women under my control."

"Only 2000 of them had any training or combat experience."

"If it's against Zhao Jun, it's really powerless."

Shen Bing nodded, the situation seemed to be better than expected.

He originally thought that at least 1 were strong women who could not fight or auxiliary arms with poor combat effectiveness.

"The most important thing is the third..."

These words startled Zhang Xuan and Yang Ting.

They thought that the previous two points were enough, but they did not expect that there was a third point.

And the third most important point...

Shen Bing didn't notice the weird expressions on the faces of the two of them, and said to himself:

"As I said before two or five hundred words, it is more advantageous for the two armies to fight the defender!"

"The subordinates think that for the Great Wall, if Zhao Jun uses it properly, it should be more beneficial for the attacker!"

Zhang Xuan immediately laughed:

"What nonsense!"

"I have been in the army for decades, and I have never heard the saying that the attacking side is more advantageous!"

"Could it be that you were stunned by Zhao Jun!"

Shen Bing was not angry, he looked around, picked up a discarded bamboo stick and put it on the table, explaining:

"Two or five hundred, please see."

"This is the Great Wall. It is about four hundred miles long, and every place needs to be fortified."

"That is to say, our army's 3 troops need to be lined up for defense within these four hundred miles."

"In this way, the average number of people per mile is no more than 75."

"Only 75 people per mile!"

"However, Zhao Jun's [-] troops can be concentrated in one place to attack."

"Even if our army has the natural danger of the Great Wall and can block ten with one, how can 75 people stop [-] Zhao troops?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan and Yang Ting couldn't help being stunned on the spot.

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Xuan objected again: "Our troops are on the Great Wall and can support each other!"

Shen Bing shook his head:

"So what if we can support each other?"

"If Zhao Jun attacks Ci County today, he will attack Anyang tomorrow!"
