Chapter 263

Dai Su'er was silent, Song Nan's words were not said to herself, after the family was broken, her mood also changed drastically, every day seemed to be tormenting, and she couldn't get rid of her previous memories, so that she felt jealous and hateful for the people around her, and felt that she had nothing to love in her life, and always thought that even if she lost her life and took revenge, it was a good relief, and it seemed that she had gone mad.

Song Nan looked at Dai Su'er and said softly: "There is no hurdle that cannot be passed, the worst thing is to die, and this time it is the same." ”

A gust of mountain wind blew, Dai Suer's delicate and thin body trembled, and she involuntarily shrunk her shoulders. Song Nan smiled: "You also said that you are not cold, you can put on the cloak." ”

Dai Su'er shook her head and said, "The slave family doesn't need it, the slave family still has to work." ”

Song Nan was stunned and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Dai Su'er struggled to pull out a large black object from the side of the stone next to her and said, "This is it." ”

Song Nan dragged it over to take a look, but it was a heavy piece of bear skin, and hurriedly asked, "What is this?" ”

Dai Su'er said: "Doesn't this bear skin say that knives and arrows are invulnerable? The slave family saw that it was a little damaged, so they asked Lord Wan to cut it into several pieces with a knife, thinking that it would be safer for you, the emperor and Lord Wan to make a few pieces of self-defense. ”

Song Nan stretched out his hand and took Dai Suer's hand to take a look, only to see that Dai Suer's hands were ground with a lot of blisters, obviously the rough and heavy bear skin made Dai Suer suffer a lot, no wonder Dai Suer silently hid in the tent at night and did not turn off the lights along the way, it turned out that he was doing this.

Song Nan felt a warmth in his heart, and said softly: "I'll do it tomorrow, and I'll take a break today." ”

Dai Suer said: "It's a little cold when I'm asleep, but it's not cold when I do some work." ”

Song Nan thought for a while and lifted his cloak and said, "I can lend you a warm shoulder." ”

Dai Su'er's face turned red, and she looked at Song Nan's bright eyes and the unopened cloak with some hesitation. Song Nan smiled, and slowly retracted his outstretched arms: "It seems that my shoulders are not warm enough." ”

Dai Su'er suddenly moved her body like a wriggling green snake into Song Nan's arms, buried her head in Song Nan's shoulders and neck, and closed her eyes and didn't dare to look at Song Nan.

Song Nan smiled slightly, covered the cloak, hugged her soft body tightly, smelled the fragrance in her hair, and soon fell asleep with his eyes closed when sleepiness hit.

At dawn, a heavy fog slowly descended from the sky, enveloping the heavens and the earth, and it was so white that it was difficult to see within a few steps.

Kerala ......

The sound of the stone collapsing woke up a knife officer who was dozing off, and in the chaotic morning light, dozens of shadowy black shadows appeared on the cliff wall, and the knife officer shouted in horror: "The Tartar has climbed up." ”

Suddenly there was a panic on the top of the cliff, Song Nan jumped up, and saw the two Tartar soldiers who were biting the blades climbing up on the edge of the cliff in front of him, stretched out his hand and quickly pulled out the fire gun and pulled the trigger, and with a bang, the heads and faces of the two Tartar soldiers were bombed into a hornet's nest, and they fell off the cliff with a strange scream.

"Bombardment of firebolts, blast them down." Song Nan shouted loudly.

The guards drew their guns and bombarded them violently, and suddenly the smoke filled the mouth and nose; Song Nan pulled Dai Su'er and ran to the tent in the middle, wanting to see how Zhengde was? In the chaos, Princess Corning's frightened cry rang into her ears.

Song Nan said quickly to Dai Su'er: "Find a big rock and hide under it." Then he hurried over, and at a glance he saw two figures entering Princess Corning's tent, most of their bodies still exposed, and the Tartar obviously knew that the tent must be inhabited by important people, and he was afraid that he would take them as hostages.

Song Nan didn't dare to use firearms, took out the embroidered spring knife and flew up to kick down one person, and at the same time swung the knife into the back of the other's heart, and was about to enter the tent to check, suddenly, a black shadow flew over in the air, knocking Song Nan to the ground, and a pair of big hands like iron tongs choked Song Nan's throat.

It was a tall Tartar soldier, with a sinister smile on his face, and Song Nan could smell the foul stench coming out of his mouth; The man's strength was too great, Song Nan punched his waist and slammed his temples, but he still couldn't let go of the iron pincer-like hands, the man seemed to be proficient in wrestling, and his legs wrapped around Song Nan's waist so that Song Nan's lower body couldn't exert his strength at all.

As the strength of the man's hand became stronger and stronger, Song Nan could almost hear the rattling and pressing sound of his throat bone, he couldn't breathe in his mouth, his body became weaker and weaker, and his mind was confused. There was a loud shouting and shouting in all directions, and all the guards were busy fighting with the Tartar soldiers who had secretly climbed up, and no one knew about Song Nan's critical situation.

"I'm going to die at the hands of this guy." Song Nan thought in a daze, unspeakably unwilling in his heart, he didn't expect that he would die so badly.

Suddenly, the man's hands suddenly seemed to have no strength, Song Nan used his last strength to turn over, and actually flipped the man to the side lightly, Song Nan reached out and touched a big stone and smashed it on the man's head and face, the man neither resisted nor shouted, and after a few smashes Song Nan was stunned to find that the man had already died of anger.

"Song Nan, how are you?" Princess Kangning's trembling voice came, and Song Nan saw Zhu Xiufu standing next to her with blood on her hands, her body shaking.

Song Nan hurriedly ran over, helped Princess Kangning's body and said, "Princess, are you okay?" ”

Kangning burst out in a cry and said, "I killed someone, I stabbed him." ”

Song Nan squinted and looked closely, only then did he see that there was a dagger stuck in the heart of the tall tartar, only half of the handle was exposed, this dagger was enough to kill, it turned out that Kang Ning killed this guy to save his life.

Song Nan laughed, hugged Zhu Xiufu and said, "Kill well, kill well, the princess can also use the Tartar soldiers." ”

Kang Ning trembled all over, and shrank into Song Nan's arms and didn't come out.

The sound of fighting gradually became smaller, and there were sporadic screams, and the sound of plopping and falling was dull and terrifying, and Song Nan shouted loudly: "Where is Wanzhi? What about the emperor? ”

Wan Zhi shouted not far away: "Lord Song, you are in a humble position, the Tartar has been beaten back, and the emperor is unscathed." ”

Song Nan shouted: "Your Majesty, are you there?" ”

Zhengde's calm voice came: "I'm fine. ”

Song Nan said loudly: "Immediately count the manpower and light a bonfire on the edge of the cliff to disperse the fog." ”

Wan Zhi promised to give orders in succession; Song Nan helped the princess to Zhengde, in the fog, Liu Jin helped Zhengde to stand by the tent with a calm face, holding a bloody long sword in his hand, and several corpses at his feet.

"If the minister is not well protected, the emperor forgives the sin." Song Nan blamed himself.

"The fog is shrouded, and it is inevitable that the Tartars will take the opportunity to attack, Song Nan, I have slaughtered another Tartar soldier with my own hands."

Song Nan said: "Congratulations to the emperor, this is the second Tartar that the emperor has killed with his own hands." ”

Zhengde said hesitantly: "It doesn't seem to be very difficult. ”

Song Nan smiled: "It seems to be the same, even the princess has slaughtered a tartar, are the emperor and the princess going to have a contest to kill the tartar?" ”

Zhengde looked at Kang Ning in a daze and said, "Sister Huang, you also killed the Tartar?" ”

Kang Ningwu trembled spontaneously: "Tartar...... Pigs and dogs, everyone ...... Punished for it. ”

Zhengde and Song Nan glanced at each other and laughed.

The Tartar soldiers took advantage of the morning fog to launch this sneak attack, although they were repulsed, but the top of the beacon tower also suffered a lot of losses, one eunuch and four officers with swords were killed, Song Nan's personal guards also killed three, and two were wounded.

The death of manpower certainly made Song Nan's heart ache, another thing also made Song Nan very depressed, in order to quickly repel the sneak attack of the Tartar soldiers, the ammunition of the fire gun used up a lot, the original ammunition was not sufficient, Song Nan would not order the gun until the last resort, but this sneak attack had to consume a lot of ammunition, the less ammunition, the less likely it is that the beacon tower will hold.

The reason why the Tartars' sneak attack was successful, not only because of the cover of the fog, but also because of the dereliction of duty of the officers with knives on duty, in the second half of the night there were more than ten officers with knives on duty, and the guards of the Beizhen Fusi were exhausted because of the all-night before and the high tension of yesterday's day, and they snored like thunder after falling asleep, and the officers with knives on duty were still on guard at first, but at dawn they all dozed off, if it wasn't for the Tartar soldiers who stepped on the stones, I am afraid that everyone would not know how they died.

At the moment, manpower is tight, and Song Nan can't punish them, but this incident reminded Song Nan that tens of thousands of Tartars are below, and it is possible to travel anytime and anywhere, and if the Tartars continue to attack, they will exhaust themselves to death; In addition to being on duty in shifts, some additional early warning measures are also needed so that the enemy's attempts to attack can be detected in time if they are not careful.

Song Nan's method is very simple, a rope tied to the stone is the best early warning system, once the rope pulled horizontally on the side wall is touched, it will make the stone rattle, this is the simplest early warning system. This is a necessary skill for Song Nan's hiking expedition in later generations, known as the anti-bear rope, staying in the forest at night, will pull a rope around the camp in the forest, hang the canned box, once it is touched, you can escape from the bear claw in time.
