Chapter 270 Survival Crisis

Chapter 1970

The baldness can jump like thunder, and tens of thousands of troops can't take down this small beacon, which is simply a great humiliation. In addition to anger, the baldness also understands the reason. The Ming army chose a dangerous terrain more than ten feet high. Although only dozens of people are at the top of the peak, they have powerful firearms, and they have been prepared for the peak for a long time. Food and water have been prepared.

In such a situation, it is difficult for a man to climb up and horses. In the past few days, hundreds of people have climbed to the air and fell down, let alone snipers.

From the beginning of the car that besieged the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in six days, the baldness felt for the first time that he might return in failure this time. Originally full of confidence, after unexpected setbacks, the bald fierce's confidence is wavering.

But the baldness has not intended to give up. The current situation is still beneficial to him. Although the soldiers and horses withdrawn from Yangyuan have already brought the news of the arrival of the Weizhou reinforcements, the Weizhou soldiers and horses who have arrived 30 miles away since yesterday have not launched an attack, but built fortifications 30 miles away, and only sent more than 100 horses to harass them. ; This shows that the strength of the reinforcements of the Ming army is not enough to pose a threat to themselves. I still have time to catch the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty, or take advantage of the Ming army's eagerness to rescue them. If you can annihilate thousands of soldiers and horses of the Ming army, this expedition will not be a failure. After going back, it can be said that you deliberately trapped the emperor of the Ming Dynasty And if you set up an ambush to annihilate the main force of the Ming army, you can also find a step down by yourself.

It's getting late. After this day's hard struggle, the people on the top of the cliff are exhausted. A group of ragged people sit on the ground on the west side of the beacon and watch the sunset slowly fall. When the sun rises tomorrow, it will be the seventh day trapped on the top of the cliff.

"Song Nan, do you mean that the Weizhou reinforcements have arrived?" Zhengde's voice was dry and his voice was hoarse. He was exhausted.

Song Nan said: "Your Majesty, according to my prediction, the soldiers and horses in Weizhou must have arrived. In six days, although Weizhou guards are mainly infantry, they can definitely arrive. In addition, the madness of the Tatar attack also shows that they are anxious. The reason why they are anxious is that the reinforcements are approaching. They could have waited for our food to run out. At that time, it was not difficult to break through the beacon.

Zhengde nodded slowly, and Liu Jin suddenly said, "Since Jiang Bin has arrived, why don't you quickly attack the Tatars and save the emperor? This man really deserves to die, actually sitting and watching the emperor trapped and indifferent.

Song Nan frowned and said, "Eunuch Liu, what you said is wrong. There are only 6,000 soldiers and horses in Weizhou, but there are 20,000 soldiers here. Did you let Jiang Bin take 6,000 people to die? Jiang Bin is just smart to do this. Weizhou soldiers and horses are on the side, and the Tarts can't attack the beacon, so they will consider retreating. Otherwise, the longer the more reinforcements are, the Tarmas will have to consider their own heads.

Zhengde nodded and said, "What Song Nan said is that not only can the rash attack with 6,000 soldiers and horses not save me, but once it is fiasco, it will encourage the arrogance of the Taritans."

Song Nan looked at Zhengde with new eyes. He still had a good vision. In this case, he can still correctly judge the situation and not from the perspective of his own safety. It shows that Zhengde is not dizzy. His behavior is just a little maverick and rebellious.

"I don't know what happened to the war between Xuanfu and Datong? If we can delay a little longer, the two soldiers and horses take a detour from the north of the Great Wall and surround the tarros here in the valley. Maybe we can win a big victory this time. There was a glow of excitement in Zhengde's eyes.

Song Nan laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is unlikely. There must be many soldiers and horses for the Tarans to attack Wan Quanwei and Tianchengwei, otherwise they will not have so much courage. Even if the battle between Wan Quanwei and Tianchengwei is over, Datong Wang General and General Zhu General Bing of Xuanfu will not send troops to attack, but will only send troops from Weizhou. Come and drive away the salams.

Zhengde was surprised, "Why is that?"

Song Nan said, "It's very simple. Not to mention the withdrawal of the 20,000 soldiers and horses here are at the beginning of the disaster. The north of the Great Wall is a vast grassland. It is not my ambition to destroy my prestige. I fought with tens of thousands of Tari cavalry on the grassland, and I am afraid of victory or defeat..."

Zhengde nodded and said, "I understand. I'm just talking."

Song Nan said, "Now the most important thing is that the emperor wants to get out of trouble. After getting out of trouble, he must not be discouraged. Now it is only one step away from getting out of trouble, and we have to stick to it."

Zhengde patted Song Nan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't relax. Song Nan, I have made a big harvest this trip. If I can get out of trouble and return to Beijing, I think I must be reborn."

Song Nan smiled and was about to speak when she heard a man screaming, "Oh, shit."

Everyone turned their heads and saw a personal guard standing not far away staring at a pile of ashes in a daze. Song Nan asked, "What's wrong?"

The guard turned his head and said in a daze, "Lord Song, all our dry food has been burned to ashes."

Song Nan's brain buzzed and hurriedly got up and ran to check. The pile of ashes were the ashes of a wooden box containing dry food. It must have been shot by a rocket, and the dried rice cakes and dough cakes inside turned into a pile of coke.

Everyone's hearts are cold, and dry food is burned. I don't know how good it is to be trapped for a few days.

Song Nan's face was gloomy and turned to Liu Jin and said, "Mr. Liu, you are responsible for keeping dry food and clear water. Why don't you store dry food in a safe place when the rocket hits?"

Liu Jin's face turned pale. At that time, he was so panicked that he forgot about it at all. He only wanted to protect the emperor from the rocket attack, which caused such a disaster.

Song Nan shouted, "Wan Zhi, look at the bucket?"

Wan Zhi jumped into the pit and couldn't find it for a long time. Song Nan was even more anxious. She couldn't eat for a few days. If there was no water to drink, he was afraid it would be finished in a day. It seems that the bucket must have been burned.

"The bucket... was hidden by the slave family." Dai Suer came from the other side and whispered.

Song Nanxi said, "Have you hidden?"

Dai Suer nodded and said, "After we wet the cloth and sealed our mouth and nose, you went to the north to resist the enemy. I saw that the bucket was exposed outside and was afraid that it would be burned by the rocket, so I buried it on the edge of the pit with stones. I almost forgot about it just now."

Song Nan was overjoyed and quickly followed Dai Suer's guidance and found a bucket buried by the pit wall in the southeast of the pit. Fortunately, the bucket was sound, and there was half a bucket of precious water in it.

Zhengde praised, "Yes, it's not chaotic in the face of danger. Song Nan, your maidservant is a talent. No wonder you take him with him."

Song Nan laughed and said, "Doesn't the emperor know her anymore? She is the slave given to the minister by the emperor.

Zhengde looked at it carefully and said, "Oh, it turned out to be the daughter of Dai... Dai Milling?"

Song Nan said, "Exactly, the emperor has a good memory."

Zhengde said, "I saw the beauty mole between my eyebrows and remembered that I was panicked these days. How could I be in the mood to carefully see the appearance of a maidservant?"

Song Nan laughed and said, "Su'er has done a good job this time. The water here is the holy water for our lives. Well... From now on, the water will be kept and distributed according to quantity. I can rest assured that you are careful."

Dai Suer blessed and said, "Yes."

Song Nan turned to Liu Jin and said, "Eunuch Liu, you'd better concentrate on taking care of the emperor. You are not good at this matter. We're hungry. If we don't have water to drink, we will all die here. Hey, I shouldn't have given such an important thing to Eunuch Liu. I don't blame you for this matter. It's my fault."

Liu Jin was angry and regretful. Looking at everyone's expressions, he was obviously contemptuous of his incompetence, and even the grain and clear water could not be seen well. Although Song Nan's words did not seem to be blame, the contempt and ridicule in his bones were very obvious.

Liu Jin doesn't care about the views of Song Nan and others, but if he destroys dry food, Zhengde will also starve. The emperor will certainly be dissatisfied. The peak is trapped for a few days, and everyone has their own use. Song Nan is the backbone of the main thing. Now a maidservant is more durable than herself. In the emperor's mind, he may have become a useless pronoun.

However, Liu Jin has his own ability to turn the situation around. After sincerely reproach, Liu Jin said to Zhengde in tears and said to Zhengde, "I will not let the emperor starve. I still have meat on my body. If the emperor is hungry, I will cut the meat on my body to make the emperor full. I am powerless and clumsy. This is what the slave can do for the emperor. The only thing."

Everyone almost vomited. This guy was so good at flattering that he was simply shameless. Song Nan sneered secretly, but heard Zhengde say, "Well, little Jinzi, no one blames you. Isn't it just burning dry food? I don't believe that the Taritan soldiers can't kill me, and I will starve to death?"

......

Jiang Bin was anxious and stationed 30 miles away from the Ta's army, but he saw that the emperor Song Nan was trapped in Xinping Fort and could not be rescued, which was tantamount to torture to Jiang Bin. Several times he wanted to order a desperate attack the Tatan, but reason told him that such an attack was only self-destruction, which could not only save the emperor, but also It's a big deal; once the Weizhou army is destroyed, the subsequent reinforcements will also lose the capital to fight against the Taran due to insufficient troops.

Standing on the top of the peak under the sunset and looking at the rising fireworks of Xinping Fort in the distance, Jiang Bin knew that it was a signal from Song Nan, who was telling himself that they were still alive and the emperor was still alive.

Although he can only launch an attack by waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the brigade, Jiang Bin can't be indifferent. He understands that the emperor is trapped in the enemy's array. If he only gathers troops to wait for help, he may be liquidated afterwards. Even for strategic considerations, he may not be forgiven. Song Nan's plea is probably useless. He must do something to disperse. The energy of the Taran also proved to the emperor that he had begun to take action.

Looking at the sun sinking in the west, Jiang Bin turned his head and said to Ma Ming, "Ma Qianhu, are you ready?"

Ma Ming has a bandage on his arm, which was an injury suffered in the battle of Yangyuan. One arm was almost broken, and now he has just picked it up.

"Lord Jiang, the personnel have been selected, a total of 500 warriors." Ma Ming said.

Jiang Bin nodded slowly: "Go back to the camp and practice for them."
