No wonder he cherishes this small piece of jerky so much.

It is rare for the people of this era to eat meat, especially the soldiers fighting on the front line.

The third-level and fourth-level are better. In addition to getting refined rice, they can also get something called "sauce".

In the Qin Dynasty, the sauce was called "meal". It was meat sauce and it also meant to chop people into meat sauce.

The method of making marinade is to dry the meat and chop it up, then mix it with the remaining koji from the wine making, add salt, and sometimes add beans (beans). Depending on the situation, add some wine and place it in a pottery pot for fermentation for 100 days.

The sauce made in this way has become a standard food configuration for Qin army due to its long storage time and convenience for transportation.

Of course, this is the standard food for level 3 and above.

If it weren't for the "Gaojuezheji", the sauce I got was almost no meat but beans.

The taste and look a bit like modern bean paste.

Don't say it, this thing is quite a bit of food.

The dried meat presented was sent by his family, so he saved the food and had such a small piece left.

Of course, Chen Bing did not dare to "accept it" with a smile, but politely declined.

But thinking about it, it's really been a long time since I could eat meat.

Just as he was drooling, Zhang Xuan rode his horse to Shen Bing and jumped off the horse, asking:

"Worker!"

"According to the general's words, the city wall of Handan is more than 30 feet high."

"Can our catapults fire bombs be shot into the city?"

I have never tried this. Before, when using a catapult to siege, I always considered the longest distance as long as I could hit the city wall.

Only when Woniu Mountain attacked the city walls, fire bombs crossed the city wall and hit the city.

However, the wooden hamlet is only more than ten feet high, so there is almost no need to consider the height of the city wall.

Chen Bing did not dare to answer easily, after all, this was related to the victory or defeat on the battlefield. If something went wrong, it would be a serious crime.

"Let me calculate it."

As he said that, Chen Bing walked out of the queue and picked up a branch on the side of the road and arranged the draft on the ground.

Chen Bing's mental arithmetic ability is pretty good.

It’s just that the units of length in this era are different from those in modern times.

When calculating, you need to convert the steps, rulers and other things into meters first, so the problem becomes complicated.

After conversion, it is a parabola problem. The highest point of the parabola can be roughly calculated based on the range, so we draw the conclusion...

Fatty Zitun followed Shen Bing without saying a word, staring at Shen Bing intently gestured on the ground.

Chen Bing ignored him, and after calculating for a while, he looked up and said to Zhang Xuan:

"Maiyi bullets can cross the city walls two hundred steps away."

"The pine bullet and flint bullet need to enter about a hundred steps..."

The pine bullet and flint bullet barely crossed the city wall at the highest point, so the range was reduced by half.

The result of halving the range is to put yourself under the attack of enemy crossbows and city wall catapults.

Zhang Xuan didn't believe that Chen Bing could get the answer in this way. He thought he would have to try it at least a few times with a catapult.

"Are you serious?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Take it seriously!" Chen Bing nodded with certainty.

If it really doesn't work, it's not difficult to raise a trench several feet.

Zhang Xuan nodded and replied:

"That's all. We just need to put the mai bomb into the city!"

"I ordered them to make a lot of maroon bullets and transport them over!"

As he said that, he jumped onto the horse and sent an order.

It was really a flying horse, the kind of flying horse without a kick, and was wearing armor...

This is quite difficult, so it is not easy to ride a horse in this era.

Zhang Xuan's movements are fast, or it can be said that Mai Bus is very fast.

That night when the artillery rushes to Handan, the first batch of maroons arrived.

Zhang Xuan went to Yang Duanhe to report to him:

"General, the artillery troop has arrived."

"According to artillery engineer Chen Bing... the maclothed fire bomb can be thrown into the city at 200 steps away."

The reason why Zhang Xuan added the "Shen Bing Say" is because he has never tried it and is a little guilty.

If you can't throw it in, you can leave yourself some way out.

Unexpectedly, Yang Duanhe seemed to trust Chen Bing very much, so he nodded as soon as he heard this:

"That's done, let the artillery prepare for the siege!"

Zhang Xuan was stunned. He didn't expect it to be so soon.

Seeing that Zhang Xuan didn't reply, Yang Duanhe looked at Zhang Xuan in confusion and asked, "What's the point of being embarrassed?"

Zhang Xuan answered:

"Report to General."

"The artillery rushes on the road, and hasn't used supper yet..."

Yang Duanhe waved his hand and said:

"It's not too late to shoot the fire bomb into the city and then eat!"

Zhang Xuan responded to the "No" and hurriedly sent the order.

No wonder Yang Duanhe is so anxious.

On the one hand, he wanted to attack Handan with the night fire, but on the other hand, he was worried about Wang Jian...

Wang Jian may not be noticed by using the modified trencher at night.

In other words, if Yang Duanhe could break through the North Gate overnight, it would be too late to wait for Wang Jian to notice the next morning.

So Chen Bing and others who were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs were immediately rushed to the battlefield.

Fortunately, the artillery's mission is only to launch fire bombs from a distance. If it is against the enemy, it will simply surrender in this state.

The cool breeze sways and the bright moon hangs high.

The walls of Handan stood in front of Shen Bing under the moonlight.

The city was pitch black, and some unpleasant smell of blood came from the evening breeze.

Chen Bing knew that it was the trace left by the Qin army during the day when they attacked the city.

Although the Zhao army was not motivated by Li Mu's death, they were facing the capital of Zhao at this time.

Everyone knew that the capital would perish as soon as it was destroyed.

So even though Li Mu's pillar had fallen, the military and civilians still fought to the death.

Later, Chen Bing realized that the truth was not the same.

The reason why Handan can resist stubbornly to this day is related to King Ying Zheng of Qin...

Ying Zheng, also known as Zhao Zheng, was born in Handan.

At that time, he was a hostage, so he was bullied by the Zhao nobles in Handan.

Now that the Qin army is at the city, even though King Zhao has lost his heart to resist, the nobles who have bullied Ying Zheng dare not give up...

Because Ying Zheng’s cruelty is known to everyone in the world.

If the Qin army conquered Handan and did not dig out these nobles one by one to destroy the nine clans, it would be a strange thing.

Therefore, the Handan nobles, who had their own ulterior motives, were surprisingly united this time.

All forces spent all their money and even sent male servants to fight in the city.

This made the Qin army helpless in Handan.

Even Wang Jian's army attacked fiercely one after another.

At this time, Wang Jian was standing on the high platform and looking at Handan, thinking hard about how to break the city tomorrow.

At this moment, fireballs in the north of the city rushed straight into the sky like the scorching sun, crossed the city wall and fell into the city.

Soon there was a turbulent fire in Handan City...

In this era, the houses were made of wooden, and there were still one and one in the capital, and the fire would easily spread once it was lit.

Wang Jian was shocked and asked the general:

"What is that?"

The general looked at it for a while and replied:

"I don't know."

"But it is reported that Yang Ting, the daughter of General Yang, once used fire bullets to burn the enemy camp!"
