Chapter 278 (Thanks to Huahua's monthly pass, thanks to the Lion Demon King's reward)

After dark, Song Nan ate to his heart's content, drank a large amount of water and fell asleep, Jiang Bin naturally knew Song Nan's hard work and suffering in the past few days, and ordered no one to disturb him.

Song Nan slept soundly this night, although it was very uncomfortable to sleep among the weeds and rocks on the hillside, but there was no need to worry about it this night, and there was no need to worry about being touched by the Tartars, because there were countless pairs of eyes staring at the bottom of the mountain, standing guard for themselves.

At dawn, Song Nan had a dream, dreaming that he returned to his home in the capital, lying in a big wooden barrel and taking a happy bath, Lu Qingli rubbed his body for himself, Ye Fanggu picked up delicious snacks and stuffed them into his mouth, the little county lord poured a wine glass into his mouth, and Dai Suer danced gracefully with a tune on the side.

Song Nan laughed happily, sighed comfortably, and suddenly the doors and windows opened, and Zhengde rushed in with blood on his face, followed by dozens of fierce Tartars, grabbed Zhengde and dragged him out, Zhengde raised his hand and shouted: Song Nan save me. Song Nan wanted to get up to help, but found that he couldn't move, and woke up in a hurry, the sound of insects chirping around, the wind whistling in the valley, and the neighing of war horses in the distance, only to find out that it was Nan Ke Yimeng.

Song Nan wiped his cold sweat and got up, the sky in the east was already white, the sky was about to dawn, not far behind the rocks, a tall figure stood there and looked down, it was Jiang Bin who had not slept all night.

Song Nan walked to Jiang Bin's side, took a water bladder on the rock and drank a few sips, Jiang Bin smiled and said, "Brother Song, can you sleep comfortably this night?" ”

Song Nan stretched his muscles and said: "It's so comfortable, seven days and seven nights on the top of the beacon tower, every night I am scared, afraid that the tartar will touch it, hey......"

Jiang Bin smacked his lips and said: "Last night, I also told Ma Ming that Brother Song is really a god, under the siege of tens of thousands of Tartar soldiers, he didn't let the Tartar soldiers touch the emperor a single hair, who can compare this ability?" Brother Song, it's not like slapping you on the back when you're a brother, I'm really convinced. ”

Song Nan smiled: "You don't want to lift me so high, if it weren't for the steep terrain of that beacon tower, how could I hold it?" It can only be said that the emperor is blessed with all the heavens, and there is such a place where the Tartars attack, and the beacon tower can be called a one-man pass, and anyone can defend it. ”

Jiang Bin stretched out his hand and took out a double-barreled firearm from his waist and said: "Brother, don't lie to me, I studied this thing with my brothers just now, but it's amazing, when did you get this thing in your hands, why don't you equip the soldiers and horses in our border towns with such a powerful guy in the military department, with this thing, what are you afraid of the Tartars?" ”

Song Nan hurriedly put away the firearm and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, I made this thing privately, someone will definitely trouble me in the future, I am making a firearm privately; If Brother Jiang wants me, I can give you a few hands to play with in private, but if you make a show, you can't do it. ”

Jiang Bin was stunned and said, "You made it yourself?" Tsk, I guess it's because of this thing that you've been on the top of that beacon for so many days. ”

Song Nan nodded and said: "If it weren't for the lack of ammunition and food, the Tartars would not want to attack it if they stayed on it for a lifetime, and then we would talk about this matter later, what was the movement of the Tartars?" ”

Jiang Bin turned his head and said: "There is no movement, the Tartars have no fear, knowing that we are powerless to attack, we are all camped in the valley in the north and sleeping, what I am worried about is the cavalry that goes south, if it really catches up with the emperor's car, how can I get it." ”

Song Nan was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard a soldier beside him exclaim: "Lord Jiang, what do you see in the south?" ”

Everyone squinted and looked south, far away, but saw that under the gray-blue sky, a pillar of smoke rose from the valley in the south, and the black pillar of smoke was extremely conspicuous, like a beacon fire to transmit news.

Jiang Bin was stunned and frowned, "What happened in the south?" ”

Song Nan looked closely, there seemed to be a black dot on the horizon of the valley rushing towards the north, and the roar of horses' hooves was faintly heard in the morning wind.

"It's the Tartars, the Tartars who went south yesterday." Song Nan exclaimed.

"Huh? The Tartars turned around so quickly, could it be that the emperor was caught up by them? Jiang Bin was dumbfounded.

Song Nan said hurriedly: "I don't think so, how can you explain the beacon?" I guess I met our reinforcement brigade, and the beacon fire should have been lit by the army that came to the rescue. ”

"Reinforcements?" Jiang Bin's face was overjoyed: "Reinforcements have arrived, thank God." ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said, "Lord Jiang, quickly order the whole army to go down the mountain to stop it." ”

Jiang Bin was stunned and said, "Why? Do you want to go down and die? To the north, there is the main force of the Tartars. ”

Song Nan said: "The Tartar army in the north will definitely withdraw, let's go down and rob the back road of the Tartar cavalry from the south, and annihilate them from the north and south." If the main forces of the Tartars dared to intercept us, they would be delayed, and as soon as reinforcements arrived, they would not be able to get out; Yesterday is not a merit, this is a real opportunity to make meritorious contributions. ”

Jiang Bin was a little scared in his heart, if he went down the mountain, the north and south would be Tartars, how could his more than 3,000 people be enemies? But what Song Nan said also makes sense, if you can hold back the main force of the Tartars, you can fight with the Tartars when the reinforcements arrive, which is the best opportunity to make contributions.

"Don't hesitate, can I still hurt you?" Song Nan smiled and said, "Don't you want to go to Beijing to live a happy life with your brother?" Seeking wealth and danger, looking ahead and looking backwards, can you achieve things? Besides, the Tartars are so arrogant, how can they allow them to bully us and pat our butts and run away? Can you bear me, can you bear it, I have more than a dozen large and small scars on my body, who will settle the account? Of course it's these dog tartars. ”

Jiang Bin no longer hesitated, Song Nan was not afraid, he was afraid of a bird?

Jiang Bin secretly compared with Song Nan more than once, why did Song Nan start from a lower starting point than himself, and rose to the top at the first opportunity, and now he has mixed up with the position of Beizhen Fusi Zhenfu? And although he is also the chief official of Ulzhou Wei, he is still a little worse than Song Nan. The reason is of course that Song Nan is good at seizing opportunities, and more importantly, Song Nan is more open-minded than himself, this guy sometimes does things that are simply shocking, but he is too safe in comparison, and to say that it is difficult to hear is too much to worry about the future.

The horn whined, the Ming troops on the peaks on both sides looked at each other, and Lord Jiang ordered to go down the mountain to intercept the Tartar cavalry rushing from the south, isn't this a person to be sent to death? But the military order is like a mountain, Jiang Bin's temper is very clear to everyone in Ulzhou, although he is very kind on weekdays, and there is no scruple about calling each other brothers and sisters in the camp, but once someone on the battlefield is timid or does not listen to orders, Jiang Bin will make your life worse than death.

Half a month ago, in an encounter at Fort Montenegro, a flag officer was beheaded in public, and his body was tied to a wooden pillar in front of the Ulzhou Guard Gate for three days, and a sign was hung to humiliate him.

As soon as the Ming army on the hillside was dispatched, the Tartar battalion in the north immediately got the news and reacted quickly, and thousands of cavalry began to assemble, ready to charge.

The two thousand Tartar cavalry running from the south are getting closer and closer, and the Ming army sentry on the hillside sent a signal, signaling that another team of men and horses is approaching after the Tartar cavalry, which confirmed Song Nan's judgment, and sure enough, there was a Ming army driving behind, and the two thousand Tartar cavalry retreated, and there must be a lot of Ming troops obviously pursuing, otherwise the two thousand Tartar soldiers would turn around and run, and they would not even dare to fight.

"Stop them." Jiang Bin ordered loudly that more than 3,000 Ulzhou soldiers and horses did not need to be arrayed, and only rushed towards the south with two legs in a straggler formation.

The Tartar cavalry could not avoid it, and was extremely helpless to be entangled by three thousand Ulzhou soldiers, but the price paid by the Ulzhou soldiers was huge, just the head-on impact, because there was no protection of the bow and arrow giant spear, it was knocked hundreds away, and then it was trampled and scattered by the Tatar cavalry that rushed in the follow-up, and more than 600 lives were lost in tea time, but with the staggering of the formation, the Tartar cavalry seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and could not escape.

Song Nan grabbed a war horse and charged south, and saw the black and oppressive Ming cavalry from a distance, it was really a cavalry, and it was a cavalry with clear armor and a dragon flag, and there were four or five thousand people in the least; A thousand of them held not shining blades, but firebolts and birds.

No way! Camp Divine Machine!

Song Nan suddenly understood, Zhang Lun arrived, this guy not only brought the Fenwu Battalion, but also brought the Shenji Battalion, one of the three major battalions, and these four or five thousand cavalry must have been selected from the Shenji Battalion and the Fenwu Battalion. There are only 1,000 cavalry in the Shenji battalion, and 3,000 cavalry in the Fenwu battalion, which is the rhythm of the cavalry and the Tartars in a large group; Needless to say, the infantry of the brigade and the baggage of the Shenji battalion were set to follow up in the rear, and they must have discovered the whereabouts of these two thousand Tatar cavalry last night, and Zhang Lun immediately led the army to chase after them.

Song Nan was so happy that he almost jumped off his horse and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the reinforcements from the Shenji Battalion of the Capital League Camp have arrived, kill them." ”

When Zhang Lun led the mixed cavalry of the Shenji Battalion and the Fenwu Battalion to arrive, only more than 300 Tartars got rid of the entanglement and rushed to the north, and the rest were still entangled by the Ulzhou Guards and fell into a bitter battle.

The fire and birds of the Shenji battalion were all released, and the cavalry of the Fenwu battalion swept away, and there was no suspense on the battlefield, more than 1,700 of the 2,000 Tartar cavalry died, and the remaining 300 escaped to the northern camp.

"Little grandpa, you're here." Song Nan rode up to meet him.

Zhang Lun was dressed in a military uniform, with a silver helmet and silver armor wearing a red cloak and looked chic and elegant, and suddenly saw a person with a dark face and a tattered body riding a horse to meet him, and he also affectionately called his name, and was stunned.

"Who are you?" Zhang Lun said.

Song Nan cried and laughed: "I'm Song Nan." ”

Zhang Lun almost fell off the horse: "Are you Song Nan?" How did you change your appearance? ”

Song Nan looked back at his body, scratched his head and said, "What else can I do?" You were trapped by 20,000 Tartars for nine days? Standing and talking does not hurt your back. ”

Zhang Lun laughed and said: "Hey, this picture, if you go back to the capital, I don't know how many people will treat you as a beggar, you also have today, hahaha." ”

Song Nan rolled his eyes and said, "Is the emperor out of danger?" ”

Zhang Lun said with a smile: "The emperor and Gonggong Liu and others are already in Ulzhou, and the ministers of the DPRK and the central government have also rushed to Ulzhou to greet them, Song Nan, this time you can show your face, yes, the escort is meritorious, it seems that the rich knighthood has not run away." ”

Song Nan pointed to the north and said: "Don't talk about this first, I have been bullied by the Tartars for nine days, if you are my friend Song Nan, you will take this evil breath for me, I see that the Tartars are about to retreat, where are there 15,000 Tartar soldiers, do you dare to go up?" ”

Zhang Lun smiled and instructed a general beside him: "Pass the order, order the baggage and infantry to speed up, and they must rush here within an hour." ”

The deputy general rushed away in response to Nuo riding his horse, Zhang Lun ordered a general to take off his armor and let Song Nan put it on, and said disdainfully: "Tattered and tattered with a man called Huazi, shame on the face of the master, put it on." ”

Song Nan wore armor and scolded in his heart: Your mother's comparison, a dog, will torture your sister after returning to Beijing.
