Chapter 630: The sky is dry and dry
Not surprisingly, Zhang Lun's Fenwu Battalion and Xu Guangzuo's Guard Battalion both easily passed the test because of the huge advantage in the previous round. The opponents eliminated in the Beijing camp are the Zhenwei Battalion, the Yaowu Battalion, the Xianwu Battalion, the Dare Yong Battalion, and the Guoyong Battalion. What is surprising is that two of the four foreign guards actually entered the second round, and the two soldiers and horses of Bazhou Wei and Xuanfu Zhongwei eliminated the martial arts training battalion and the Xiaoyong battalion in the Beijing camp, causing a big upset.
Bazhou Wei and Xuanfu Zhongwei are both soldiers of the border guards, with extremely rich experience in actual combat, and their style is also very resolute.
In this way, the winner is naturally infinitely beautiful, and the loser is becoming more and more disgraced, these two soldiers and horses are precisely Jiang Bin and Xu Tai's old troops, many of them are Jiang Bin and Xu Tai's old troops, they can pass the test, Jiang Bin and Xu Tai are also very happy, regardless of the feelings of the regiment and camp, and loudly praise the two leading commanders in the Zhengde tent for doing a good job.
However, there is one number that has to be impressive, at the meeting in the big tent, one of the counts counted by the military officials who do logistics statistics is the number of Shenshu battalions at the top of the list, and that is the number of battle losses.
The number of battle losses ranked second in the battalion that passed the pass was Xu Guangzuo's guard battalion, and the guard battalion had a total of 132 people out of the two rounds of attack and defense, and Zhang Lun in the third place was 165 people, and so on, and at the bottom were the two soldiers and horses of the Xuanfu Zhongwei and Bazhou Wei, with battle losses as high as 419 and 427 people. In other words, a total of 1,000 soldiers and horses participated in the battle in the two games, and Bazhou Wei and Xuanfu Zhongwei fought out four people, which shows that they are brave and fearless; But it also shows that they are not strategic enough.
The number of the Shenshu camp is unbelievable, and if it weren't for the upper regimental camp, it would almost make people suspect that they were playing tacit understanding. In the two battles, Song Nan only lost twenty-six soldiers! 1,000 soldiers and horses against 1,000 soldiers and horses, only 26 people were lost in two battles of attack and defense! What is this concept? It's hard to imagine how he did it.
Everyone expressed vague doubts, but after the judge of the battle between the two armies reported the battle situation, everyone was speechless, Song Nan played with his brain, played with strategy, and looked at the dozen or so pairs of troops that fought against each other, who could force the opponent to abandon the walled fort to meet the enemy, and also fell into an ambush, only Song Nan's Shenshu battalion; Although they didn't think so on the surface, everyone still gave a thumbs up in their hearts.
After eighteen soldiers and horses catch the offensive and defensive battle, nine soldiers and horses enter the second round, because it is an odd number, after the draw four teams can enter, the defeated four soldiers and horses allow a draw to resurrect, participate in the third round of attack and defense, the final three winning soldiers and horses are the top three in the offensive and defensive operations, these three soldiers and horses will enter the last free battle link, fight each other until the last soldier and horse remains, is the final winner.
Under the auspices of Zhengde, the draw was held before noon; The match sheet was announced by officials and posted on a wooden board, and the battle form shì was clear at a glance. Zhang Lun's Fenwu battalion faced the Bazhou Guard, Xu Guangzuo's personal guard battalion faced the Dayong battalion, Gao Hu's Xianwu battalion faced the Xuanfu Zhongwei, and the opponent of the Shenshu battalion was Qian Taichang's Zhenwei battalion; The lucky bye of the Guoyong Battalion was borne.
Qian Taichang looked extremely excited, he gritted his teeth with hatred for Song Nan, since Jin Yiwei secretly did something to make his son Qian Xiu a concubine, Qian Taichang has been looking for opportunities to retaliate against Song Nan all the time, all the previous calculations have not succeeded, he almost vomited blood, and now that the opportunity has come, there is nothing more relieving than sending Song Nan out of the game with his own hands.
And he also heard about what happened to Ma Zhifang in the Shenwei camp, and the humiliation after being out made several marquis scold Song Nan's ancestors for eight generations. Qian Taichang had already thought about it, if he sent Song Nan out of the game this time, he would draw a big cross on Song Nan's face with red paint, so that he would bear this humiliation for the rest of his life.
"Hou Ye Song, I didn't expect us to meet, the old man already wanted to learn your skills, and when the time comes, Don't give the old man face." Qian Taichang smiled and bowed his hand, and the courtesy was extremely thoughtful.
Song Nan smiled: "Does Marquis Qian want to go home early to rest?" It's no wonder that Hou Ye is old, and he should have enjoyed the joy of family at home. By the way, Ling Lang Qian Xiu hasn't married yet, why don't I find a daughter-in-law for Hou Qian? I know a lot of young ladies from official families. ”
Qian Taichang was furious and said coldly: "Don't bother with Hou Ye Song, although the old man is older than you, but experience is wealth, Hou Ye Song is a little smart, but for Ben Hou, those are floating clouds, Hou Ye Song is waiting to take it." "Anyway, I won't pay attention to Song Nan anymore.
After a break in the afternoon, the second round of offensive and defensive operations officially began, four hills were selected to serve as the battlefield, eight soldiers and horses entered the battlefield, before the start of the war, Zhengde specially promulgated a supplementary rule, all the attacking soldiers and horses must not slack off to attack and consume time, must attack the walled fort, otherwise the judgment will be lost and severely punished, which is also for the first round of people deliberately kill time, unwilling to take the initiative to attack and formulate countermeasures.
Song Nan was the first to attack, which meant that the Shenshu battalion had to take the initiative to attack and take the walled fort on the top of the mountain, after arriving at the battlefield, Song Nan did not move, the battle on the surrounding hills had begun, and the sound of horns and shouts resounded throughout the valley, but Song Nan was still standing still here.
The official in charge of judging had to remind loudly: "Lord Song, the emperor has newly promulgated the rules, you can't attack passively, otherwise you will be judged to lose." ”
Song Nan waved his hand and said, "Who said I won't take the initiative to attack?" Isn't that a way to attack? ”
The judge rolled his eyes and said, "You stretch your neck around with your hands behind your back and look around, is this also a way?" ”
However, since Song Nan said that he was thinking of a way, he wanted to see what he came up with, anyway, if he hadn't taken action within half an hour, the iron-faced and selfless judge had made up his mind to sentence the Shenshu Camp to defeat.
In the walled fort on the mountain, Qian Taichang was in full swing, and he ordered the soldiers to put all the rolling wood and stones in the walled fort on the wall, ready to use them to resist Song Nan's attack, and also learned the lesson of Ma Zhifang, if he saw Song Nan's vine shield soldiers appear, the soldiers were not allowed to probe, and Song Nan was never given a second chance to play a second time.
Someone reminded Qian Taichang: "If these things are used, there will really be a lot of casualties, and I am afraid that it will be troublesome at that time." ”
Qian Taichang angrily reprimanded: "Even if it is a drill, it is inevitable that there will be casualties, if you don't come to the real thing, how can you test the combat strength?" What is the purpose of this competition? ”
Qian Taichang just wants to do his best, even at the expense of being punished, it is best to use rolling wood and stones to smash Song Nan to death here, which is even more desirable; Therefore, even when the judge reminded these things to be used with caution, Qian Taichang did not let go, and there was no rule that forbade the use of the stone and rolling wood in the fort.
Song Nan at the foot of the mountain dangled at the foot of the mountain for a long time, Jiang Bin and Xu Tai were a little anxious, and the two of them thought of a lot of ways to babble in Song Nan's ear, and Song Nan vetoed them all, Song Nan clearly told them, this time he will solve it himself, Qian Taichang's hostility is obvious, Song Nan wants to teach Qian Taichang a huge lesson, this strategy must be crushing destruction.
Finally, when it was almost half an hour, Song Nan spoke: "Okay, let's get ready to do it." ”
Jiang Bin said: "How to do it?" ”
Song Nan pointed to the hillside and said, "It's not simple? Autumn is high and the grass grows, and everything is withered and yellow, isn't this an excellent place for fire attack? Ordered the brothers to prepare torches and light all the fires along the foot of the mountain, or it will burn to the top of the mountain in less than half an hour. ”
Everyone suddenly realized that the mountains full of barren grass and shrubs are not a good place for fire attack? If this burns, won't the people in the walled fort on the top of the mountain become roast pigs?
"Your Excellency is wise. It's a great idea, but what if there are dead or injured? Xu Taidao.
"No, there is a rocky slope in the west, where it can't be burned, they can't stand it and will escape from the west."
Xu Tai rolled his eyes, and there was one more thing to ask before ordering the work: "The adults have already had this method, why do you have to wait for this half an hour to use it?" ”
Song Nan smacked his lips and said: "As soon as I come, I will set fire to the mountain, everyone will definitely learn from me, I don't want everyone to learn from us to burn the mountain, and when they all rush up the mountain to fight, we can do things." If they want to retreat down the mountain and set fire, the guards in the walled fort on the mountain will not let them down, so they can't use it if they want to. ”
Xu Tai and Jiang Bin looked at each other speechlessly, adults must be very short-lived, this mind has thought of the most subtle things, is this still a fucking human? It's a brute.
The fire around the foot of the mountain was quickly lit, and the autumn was high and crisp, the grass on the barren slope was long, the weather was dry, and the fire was raging. It was like a tight mantra that became smaller and smaller in a circle, the circle of fire quickly closed to the middle of the mountaintop, and the smoke and dust and black ash that rose became more and more intense, Qian Taichang in the walled fort looked at this qiē dumbfounded, his eyebrows and eyelashes were full of fly ash, and black unknown objects flew into his mouth and nose from time to time.
"Fuck, how dare you set fire to something on a dog day? Is this in accordance with the rules? Qian Taichang asked while covering his nose.
The judge coughed and took out a pamphlet to rummage through it, and said for a while: "There is no prohibition in the rules. ”
"Master Hou, what should I do? The fire is getting closer and closer, and when it burns to the bottom of the walled fort, we will all become roast pigs. The general shouted anxiously.
"All the walls are hidden in the walled fort house, and when the fire is extinguished, the fire is so big, they can't attack, we won't lose." Qian Taichang waved his arm and said.
"No, Master Hou, the gate is made of wood, the walls are all made of sandalwood, the house is also made of wood and stone, and the yard is full of long grass, and there will definitely be a fire inside. Besides, there are only a dozen rooms for 500 people, where can they hide? This walled fort was originally equipped for two hundred defenders, but it can't be done, Lord Hou. ”
Qian Taichang scolded and said angrily: "Then what should I do? Will we still be burned alive? Song Nan, the dog thief, is too ruthless, he actually wants to burn us, and the emperor will not bypass him. ”
"It won't burn to death, the western slope is stone, the fire can't burn, let's withdraw from the west, my lord, hurry up, the fire is burning in front of you."
Qian Taichang watched the one-person-high flames burn to the root of the wall, took a mouthful of hot air, choked tears and snot, and the judge on the side didn't do it and ran under the wall.
"Why are you going?" Qian Taichang asked with tears in his eyes.
"This official will go first, Marquis Qian is willing to die here, this official admires it very much, this official will record this point on the judgment record and play it truthfully, and the emperor will definitely reward it." As he spoke, the judge had already led someone from the west. The wall came out and fled down the slope that was not on fire.
"Daddy, let's go, we can't afford to give my life here, we have a second one." Qian Xiu helped Qian Taichang and said loudly.
Qian Taichang sighed, and ordered after a pause: "Withdraw, withdraw from the mountain." ”
