There have been new changes in the rules of the third round of offensive and defensive battles, and the victory and defeat are determined by a battle, and the offensive and defensive battles are determined by lot.

This time luck was on Qian Taichang's side, he caught the defensive sign, and Qian Taichang, who was already unmotivated, suddenly became more confident again, compared to the offense, it was obviously easier to defend the walled fort.

And after arriving at the battlefield, Qian Taichang couldn't help but smile, the barren grass and dead trees on the hillside had already been burned clean, obviously it was a good thing done by both sides of the front base, everyone learned from Song Nan to set fire to the mountain, but he did himself a big favor, but it can be said that Song Nan was lifting a stone to hit his own feet.

Originally, Qian Taichang was also prepared for Song Nan's fire attack here, and even asked the soldiers to bring a wet towel to cover their mouths and noses to resist the smoke and dust, and also prepared to clean up the rolling wood and stones and wild grass and dead trees in the walled fort before the battle began, so that the fire would not spread to the walled fort, but now it seems that there is no need for this at all.

The black hillside is full of burned black ash embers, the distance between the mountain and the mountain is two or three hundred steps apart without obstruction, the defenders on the top of the mountain can see the soldiers and horses under the mountain clearly, the actions of the soldiers and horses below are all under control, and what you want to do can't escape the limitation of vision, Qian Taichang's confidence doubled, and he secretly made up his mind that this time he would teach Song Nan a good lesson; When Song Nan loses, he has to draw a cross on Song Nan's face with red paint, no...... Draw a big turtle to avenge the humiliation.

After the battle timer began, Song Nan began to wander around the foot of the mountain with nothing to do, Jiang Bin and Xu Tai stared at Song Nan walking around, waiting for Song Nan's order, in the face of such a situation, they could only think of leading people to attack it, just like someone has been doing in the past few days, to take the walled fort with a fierce fighting style that is not afraid of death.

But this method of warfare can not guarantee success, the two armies face to face in the battle Shen Shu battalion has proved its toughness, but after all, the other side has a wall as a cover, five hundred people defend by the fort, sometimes thousands of soldiers and horses are difficult to break through, Jiang Bin and Xu Tai are veterans of the border town against the Tartars, they have seen too much of this situation; Due to the ferocity of the cavalry without the Tartars, no matter which Ming army's compulsory course is to defend the war, if you underestimate Qian Taichang's Zhenwei battalion, it would be a big mistake.

Song Nandong looked around for a while, then opened his mouth and ordered: "Three hundred brothers cut the dead grass and cut the dead trees, one hundred brothers cut the grass and young trees, fifty brothers go to the pine forest in the rear to collect dead pine needles and pine oil, and the other fifty follow me. ”

Although the soldiers did not know why, no one spoke much, and they were ordered to do things.

Song Nan led fifty people to the edge of the ditch below, and Jiang Bin followed behind and said in amazement: "Brother Song, what is this going to do?" ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "Didn't he Qian Taichang think that there was no grass to burn on the hillside, so he could sit back and relax?" He didn't think he had to suffer from the smoke and fire, but I wanted to set it on fire. ”

Jiang Bin shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this method won't work, how much firewood and grass does it take to enclose the walled fort, and it's useless for two hundred people to cut grass and blades for a day." ”

Song Nan waved his hand and smiled: "You think you really want to burn them, it's just that they come out to fight us; I just turned around. Mandala grass grows all over the edge of the ditch below, this grass is highly poisonous, and the smoke from the burn has a paralyzing effect on people, so let's light a fire in the east downwind, put a bunch of mandala branches and leaves, and make poisonous smoke to smoke them. It's fine if they know it's powerful, but if they don't, they're afraid their hands and feet will be paralyzed for a few days. ”

Jiang Bin was surprised: "This mandala branch and leaf actually has this effect? It's the first time I've heard of it. ”

Song Nan smiled: "There are still many things you don't know, the divine doctor Hua Tuo. The hemp boiling powder made is this thing. refining, after a person drinks hemp and boils, he will fall into a coma, and he will not feel pain when he cuts his flesh with a knife; Brothers, be careful not to get into your mouth and nose when you cut that thing later, and don't numb yourself. ”

Jiang Bin opened his mouth wide in surprise, and Xu Tai came up and said, "My lord, as far as I know, Qian Taichang's soldiers and horses have brought wet towels to prevent smoking, and this plan may not work." ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "Ordinary smoke can naturally be protected by covering your mouth and nose with a wet towel, but the smoke of the mandala is not successful, and it will condense on the towel after encountering water. Between the lips, that's even better. Go ahead and prepare, listen to me. ”

General Xu Tai looked at Song Nan's back suspiciously and muttered in his heart, how did Lord Song know these things, could it be that Lord Song also has research on drugs and poisons? It's really strange, a young man in his twenties, who knows everything about astronomy and geography, really can't understand it.

Qian Taichang and the others condescendingly watched the soldiers and horses of the Shenshu battalion divided into several units, some were mowing grass on the opposite hillside, some were cutting wood in the pine forest, and some were cutting shrubs under the ravine, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "What are these guys doing?" ”

Qian Xiu's head was wrapped in a few circles of gauze, her appearance was very weird, she didn't have the usual handsome and chic appearance, she was cut to the ground by Jiang Bin with a wooden knife yesterday, and today there was a big swollen bag on the top door, and she couldn't wear a helmet, so she could only be wrapped in medicine. Originally, Qian Taichang didn't want Qian Xiu to participate in the battle today, but when Qian Xiu learned that it was a battle to determine the outcome and his side was the defender, he insisted on asking to come to the battle, because the chances of winning today are very high, how can such an opportunity be absent.

"Daddy, it looks like they're going to cut the grass and chop wood and then set fire to the mountain." Qian Xiu's brain was not cut into an idiot by this knife, and he smacked his tongue and continued: "How stupid should this be, is there something wrong with Song Nan's brain." ”

Qian Taichang laughed and said: "Let them toss, this kid is also poor in donkey skills, he doesn't dare to come up and attack, he will only play these tricks." Remember for a while, whatever they play, everyone will ignore them; When they set fires, we covered our mouths and noses with wet towels, and as soon as they were within range, the bows and arrows rolled the wood and stones to greet me mercilessly. ”

"Yes, according to the orders of the marquis." All the soldiers agreed in unison, and they also held their breath and planned to return to the field today.

Half an hour later, hundreds of soldiers of the Shenshu Battalion returned with bundles of firewood and grass, and the ground was suddenly covered with hills of grass and trees. Under the command of Song Nan, everyone carried these firewood and grass to the upper wind outlet of the east slope, climbed to the halfway point of the mountainside and stopped beyond the range of the bow and arrow, divided into five piles on the east slope, took the flammable pine needles and pine branches as the inner core, lit them and spread the half-green and non-yellow grass blades, pressed seven or eight bundles of mandala branches and leaves on it, and pressed the top with grass shoots; In a few moments, five fires began to emit billowing black smoke.

Song Nan ordered the soldiers to stay away from the fire and watch from a distance at the foot of Dongpo Mountain, but saw that the smoke slowly drifted to the top of the mountain along the direction of the wind, and after a while, the entire mountain top was shrouded in smoke.

The soldiers of the Zhenwei battalion on the top of the mountain were not flustered, and when the fire was lit at the moment, Qian Taichang understood that Song Nan was going to use the method of smoking, and he sneered and ordered everyone to tie their mouths and noses with the wet towels they brought, and prepare for smoke; After the smoke covered the fort, the officers and soldiers of the Zhenwei battalion still held on to the wall, and if the Shenshu battalion dared to attack while the line of sight was not clear, bows and arrows and rolling wood and stones would be greeted mercilessly.

But the soldiers of the Shenshu battalion did not attack at all, and the soldiers who were staring at the walled wall with wide eyes began to feel that their eyes were a little dry, and they involuntarily left tears. There was a pungent tingling sensation between the lips, and the saliva in the mouth became a little bitter.

A general felt that it was not good, and immediately reported to Qian Taichang and said, "Master Hou, this smoke ...... Something quirky. ”

Qian Taichang hid his mouth and nose in a towel and said angrily: "What did you say? Let's be clear. ”

The general shouted, "This smoke...... Some...... Eccentric. ”

"Damn, didn't you eat in the morning? It's hard to speak? Be clear. Qian Taichang scolded.

The general suddenly stopped speaking, his eyes showed an anxious look, and his mouth and nose under the wet towel seemed to be moving, but Qian Taichang didn't hear a sound at all; Qian Taichang grabbed the wet wipes on his mouth, but saw that the general's mouth was indeed opening and closing, his tongue was white and slowly squirming in his mouth, but he didn't hear a sound in his ears, the situation was really weird, and for a moment Qian Taichang thought he was deaf.

With a "bang", the general's body shook and fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, there was a bang around him, and seven or eight soldiers around him also fell to the ground one by one, Qian Taichang turned back in panic, and his son Qian Xiu also leaned on the wall buttress without saying a word, looking at himself anxiously.

"Xiu'er, what's wrong with you?" Qian Taichang asked in a panic, suddenly feeling that his tongue was not very obedient, his brain was dizzy, and his hands and feet were a little numb.

"Not good." Between the lightning and flint, Qian Taichang understood everything: "Song Nan is really vicious, and he is ...... in smoke Poisonous! ”

Qian Taichang understood this, but his body had completely disobeyed the call and fell under the wall, his body was numb and couldn't move, but his eyes could still see the scene in front of him, one by one the soldiers fell crookedly, and soon after, the smoke cleared, Qian Taichang saw Song Nan's hateful smiling face appear in front of him, and this guy also reached out and touched his face and rolled his eyelids.

When Qian Taichang and the hundreds of soldiers who were fascinated regained consciousness, it was already noon, and the dutiful judge announced as soon as Qian Taichang got up gasping: "Zhenwei battalion, out." ”

Qian Taichang had no time to pay attention to him, jumped up and pointed at Song Nan's nose and scolded: "You demon, you actually use such a vicious demon method, you will be punished, I am going to accuse you in front of the emperor and all the adults." ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "Master Qian, is it interesting?" I took the flag, this time to save you some face, the moment on your face will be spared, if you say anything disrespectful, I plan to draw a pig's head on your face, do you think it is a pleasure to speak, or is it comfortable to have a black pig's head on your face? ”

Qian Taichang immediately shut his mouth, the person who knows the times is Junjie, if he is painted with a pig's head, he can only draw a knife and cut himself.
