In the Zhengde tent at night, Qian Taichang angrily accused Song Nan of acting viciously and killing people in the name of drills, almost killing himself and the 500 soldiers of the Zhenwei Battalion.

The marquis of the regimental camp also echoed and scolded angrily, Song Nan didn't say anything, Jiang Bin and Xu Tai naturally couldn't help but fight with them, Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu also helped in time, the two sides were full of gunpowder, and even raised their arms and legs to fight in front of the emperor.

Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, came forward and reprimanded angrily: "What kind of system, you are too self-respecting in front of the holy driver, no matter what happens, since you put it forward in front of the holy driver, you want to ask the holy court to make a decision, and before the emperor has spoken, you will start to make noise, how can this be reasonable." ”

Everyone knew that it was rude, and hurriedly complained to Zhengde and stepped aside, Zhengde held his cheeks and watched everyone quarrel with interest, and suddenly realized that he needed to judge them right and wrong, so he straightened up and coughed and said: "I actually already know about this matter, in the afternoon I watched the battle on the top of the mountain near the left, and saw someone attacking the mountain with fire." ”

Qian Taichang said in a sullen voice: "Please ask the emperor to make the decision for the ministers, is it too much for Song Nan to do this?" ”

Zhengde smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be impatient, I came to ask the relevant people if it was appropriate for Song Nan to do this." After Lu Wan, the secretary of the military department, tell me about it, is fire attack allowed in the rules? ”

Lu Wan said: "Your Majesty, although there is no way to prohibit fire attack in the rules, Song Nan will inevitably consider this strategy, if a fire burns all the 500 soldiers of the Zhenwei Battalion, how can this be done?" ”

Zhengde nodded, turned his head and said, "Song Nan, what do you say?" ”

Song Nan drooped his eyelids from beginning to end, as if he didn't take these quarrels seriously, and at this moment Fang stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, do you still need me to say this?" Lord Lu has said that there is no plan in the rules that does not allow me to use fire to attack. ”

"But Lord Song, when you did this, didn't you consider the safety of the soldiers of the five hundred Zhenwei battalion on the top of the mountain?" Lu Wan frowned.

Song Nan turned around slowly, stared at Lu Wan with blazing eyes, and shouted coldly: "Lord Lu, how do I think about using you to teach?" Do you think it's a playhouse, playing games? Although this is a martial arts exercise, it is a test of the real combat strength of the Beijing battalion, and since the two armies are facing each other, they must regard the other side as the enemy, and they will not tolerate mercy. Otherwise, what is the point of the imperial court spending hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to hold this big competition? ”

"Having said that, you can't really put the other party to death, you really want to burn the five hundred people in the Zhenwei camp, can you Lord Song take it?" Lu Wan has been a secretary of the military department for two years, and his courage is getting stronger and stronger, and he has long lost the submissiveness when he followed Song Nan to suppress the thieves.

"Nonsense, they deserved to be burned, and if their opponent was a Tartar, would they have a chance to go back and theorize about this? What a joke. In the battle of Xinpingbao that year, the emperor was trapped on the top of the beacon tower of Xinpingbao, and the Tartars piled hay and dry firewood and burned it all night, wanting to burn the emperor to death, but did he ever have the slightest mercy? If you still have to discuss what should be and should not be discussed, I suggest that you go and discuss it with the Tartars, and see how they give you an answer. ”

Everyone was silent, many people here knew the details of the battle of Xinpingbao that year, the emperor and Song Nan, Liu Jin and other twenty or thirty people were trapped for nine days, and tens of thousands of Tartar soldiers tried their best to fail to succeed, and they managed to reach the arrival of reinforcements, which can be described as dangerous and dangerous; At that time, the Tartars did everything they could, fire attacks, smoke, rocket shooting, night climbing and sneak attacks, which was not a matter of wanting human life, how could he have half a point of pity.

"Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty are the last reliance of the Ming Dynasty, the safety of the emperor and the Beijing division are all tied to our hands, but you are glass-hearted porcelain dolls, what to say to have mercy, to consider the consequences, it is really chilling. The battlefield against the enemy is accompanied by blood and fire, and his life hangs on the belt of his trousers. Go home and hug your grandson and hug your concubine, and let the person who can carry the backbone of Daming go up, this is serious. ”

Song Nan's voice was cold, as if Shangguan was admonishing, and he was speechless when he reprimanded a cadre in the big tent, and in the silence, Zhengde slowly applauded, got up and went to Song Nan's side and said: "Song Nan, this is a good thing, I support you." You almost forgot about what happened back then, but now that I think about it, how lucky I was back then, and how cruel the Tartars were. As you say, it is better to regard the other side as an enemy, and to win the battle without thinking about anything else. ”

Song Nan arched his hand and said: "Thank you for your understanding, when the ministers attacked with fire, they also left a way back for Hou Ye Qian, the east side of the hill is a rocky slope, the fire can't burn there, and Hou Ye Qian can evacuate safely from there." If there is no such way to live, the minister will not rashly use fire to attack. However, Marquis Qian will learn to be obedient in the future, if you really fight against the Tartar soldiers in the future, don't be embarrassed when you retreat. Siege is a common tactic used by soldiers, you think it is a paradise to escape, but in fact, it is very likely to fall into the enemy's encirclement and ambush. You should thank me for not ambushing you at the bottom of the rocky slope, otherwise you would not only lose the fort, but also all the soldiers and horses. ”

Qian Taichang's face was as pale as earth, he didn't expect this when he retreated, and after getting out safely, he also privately said that Song Nan didn't know how to use soldiers and didn't bag his bags under the hillside, but he didn't expect that Song Nan actually let himself go.

At this point, no one has said anything about this matter, but the generals have a further understanding of the nature of this big competition, and it turns out that it is not a pretentious act like they have experienced before, but they need to fight with real hearts, and even pay the price of their lives.

There was no surprise in the results of the battle in the afternoon, Zhang Lun's Fenwu battalion broke through the walled fort of the Bazhou guard with a strong attack, both sides were hard-fought opponents, no fancy, a thousand soldiers and horses out of more than 900 people, Zhang Lun finally stood on the walled fort with twelve men. During the battle, dozens of people broke their hands and feet and broken their ribs, and more than a dozen soldiers were blinded by wooden swords and swords, which can be described as extremely tragic.

Xu Guangzuo's personal guard battalion took the brave battalion lightly, and Xu Guangzuo, who was also on the attacking side, only encountered symbolic resistance and occupied the walled fort, and even the judges on both sides felt very surprised, but after all, it was a drill, and they could not be asked to fight to the death, only suspecting in their hearts that the two sides had fought a tacit battle.

However, the Xuanfu central guard did not let Gao Hu's Xianwu camp pass, Gao Hu had already worked very hard, but it was a pity that against the extremely brave Xuanfu central guard, they had no chance of winning; What's the use of armor being better than others? In the end, he was unable to capture the walled fort, and the number of casualties exceeded that of the opponent, and he was judged to be defeated.

This is the only defeat of the attacking side, in the past, the defenders had the advantage, but now the besieging side has the advantage, feng shui takes turns, in the end, which side has more advantages, no one dares to judge.

On the morning of the next day, the second stop of the offensive and defensive exchanges, this battle decided to eliminate life and death, except for one of the nine teams to watch on the wall, the remaining eight teams will have four faces out, among the four teams. Only one team can be revived by drawing lots to enter the third round of offensive and defensive battles.

Qian Taichang held back the fire in his belly, and planned to raise his eyebrows this time, but he didn't really fight with Song Nan in the last game. The battle of guns was lost, and this time he was the attacker, and the position of the Shenshu battalion was determined, and how to play was completely his own initiative.

After coming to the battlefield, Qian Taichang observed this new offensive and defensive battlefield, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and smile: "Song Nan, Song Nan, retribution comes quickly, didn't you say that you want to treat the other party as an enemy?" This time, I'm going to treat others in the way of others, and it's my turn to burn you. ”

Qian Xiu hurriedly said: "Daddy, do you really want to burn it?" This mountain is surrounded by barren grass slopes on all sides, but there is no way to escape, this burn, Song Nan is really going to be burned to death. ”

Qian Taichang scolded in a low voice: "Idiot, have you forgotten how you were framed and lost the opportunity to become a colt?" This is the man who is getting in the way. And this person not only spoiled your business, but also your father's business, if he hadn't intervened a pole, my father would probably be the governor of the regiment and battalion now. He deserved to be burned, so go and prepare. ”

Qian Xiu thought about it and gritted his teeth and gave an order, and the soldiers of the Zhenwei battalion began to prepare torches and prepare to light the mountain; Fireworks also erupted on other battlefields, and these people were inspired by Song Nan to learn and use, and the attackers all adopted the strategy of fire attack, and several mountains were on fire for a while.

Song Nan, Jiang Bin, Xu Tai and others stood on the wall of the top of the mountain, looking at the flames on the surrounding hills, and they all smacked their lips and shook their heads.

"It's so uncreative, it's all set on fire, can't these people think of something else?" Song Nan shook his head and muttered.

"Brother, don't worry about others, think about ourselves, our mountain is the easiest to attack with fire, and the old boy of Qian Taichang will definitely set fire to the mountain." Jiang Bin rolled his eyes and said.

"No, there is no way back from this burn, we all have to die, Qian Taichang won't be like this." Xu Taidao.

Song Nan smiled and said: "How can he let go of this opportunity, he will definitely set fire, and he can treat others in his own way, if it is you, will you do it?" ”

", why don't you do it, this is the most relieving." Jiang Bin and Xu Tai said in unison.

"That's not the end of it, he'll definitely set fire to us regardless of our lives or deaths." Song Nan said with a smile.

"So what do we do? There is no fire here, and these woods catch fire when they see it, and there is no hiding place. ”

Song Nan laughed and said, "It's time to show the true ability of the Shenshu Battalion, two brothers, gather people, let's surprise him." ”
