Chapter 272

In the middle of the night, the hazy people who slept because of hunger were awakened by the shouting of killing. Song Nan thought it was the Ttars who launched a new round of attack. He jumped up and saw Wan Zhi, who was on duty at night, standing on the edge of the cliff with several guards looking down.

Song Nan ran quickly and looked at the foot camp below, which was immediately shocked.

The shouting of killing in the valley outside Xinping Fort is deafening, the torches are shaking, the shadows and pupils are on fire. Dozens of tents are on fire, and the hissing of horses are endlessly noisy.

In the firelight, someone was catching and killing. The sound of jingling blades and the tragic voices before death came from far away. From time to time, new tents were on fire, and the scene was chaotic.

Zhengde and Liu Jin were also awakened and rushed to watch. Liu Jin said happily, "Your Majesty, it is our reinforcements attacking the Darinah barracks at night. Now that's all right, the emperor can get out of trouble."

Zhengde said happily, "Really? That's great, Song Nan. Shall we rush down and do it?

Song Nan sighed silently, and Zhengde was surprised and said, "What's wrong? Isn't it my Ming reinforcements?"

Song Nan said, "Your Majesty, naturally the soldiers and horses of Weizhou are attacking the Tarot barracks at night, but it's just a small amount of harassment. Look, this scale is only hundreds of people attacking the enemy's southern camp. Hey, Lord Jiang is killing people."

Zhengde was stunned and said, "Is it just a tentative attack?"

Song Nan said, "This is a suicidal attack. Lord Jiang must want to explore the reality of the tas, and also contain the tas to divert the attention of the tas and relieve our pressure."

The shouting below lasted for half an hour and slowly became sporadic. Dozens of tents in the south camp of the Tatara camp caught fire. Other Tatara barracks, especially the Tatara stationed in Xinping Fort, did not move. Except for the patrolling soldiers looking at the wall, almost no one went to reinforce them. It can be seen that the night attack on the Tatara soldiers The Ming army of the battalion has been killed, and the Tari didn't care about the night attack at all.

"This Jiang Bin is so careless about my soldier's life. It's simply a child's play." Zhengde was disappointed and angry.

Song Nan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't be annoyed. Lord Jiang can't help it. Before the reinforcements of the brigade arrived, he can't sit back and watch the Tsars attack us. He can only take the initiative to distract the attention of the Tsars. Night attack is a good idea. The night battle of the Taar is not good. I believe that the loss of the Tarayan must be much greater than ours. Maintaining the continuous harassment will make the Taran's impetuous. If I guess correctly, there will be many night attacks tonight, that is, the initiative of the fierce Taar, and the Weizhou army must have built fortifications to fight. Sticking to the war is our strength.

Zhengde said with a slightly grim face, "So Jiang Bin did it on purpose?"

Song Nan said, "Lord Jiang has been fighting with the Tari in the border town of Weizhou for more than ten years. His combat experience is beyond doubt. The emperor can rest assured that it is still early before dawn. Eunuch Liu will wait for the emperor to go to sleep."

Zhengde sat on the ground on the edge of the cliff and said, "I won't leave. I want to watch my Ming soldiers attack the enemy camp at night. They are working hard. How can I sleep?"

Song Nan was not reluctant. He called other guards to rest quickly. The Tatron would definitely attack again at dawn, and it was better to save some effort to kill the enemy.

On this night, as Song Nan expected, there was a shout of killing almost every hour. The Weizhou army attacked three times in one night, each time a small death squad of more than 100 people rushed down from the mountain beams on both sides.

These guys were not afraid to death. They cut when they saw people and burned the tents. They seemed to be lawless and were soon killed by the Tarots, but the losses were not small. Three batches of 500 Ming soldiers were killed in battle, but more than 600 Tarot soldiers were killed and more than 300 tents in the southern camp were burned. More than 200 horses were also burned to death and injured in the stables; what's more annoying is that the tos of the night almost made the 5,000 tatarmen in Nanying sleepless all night, exhausted one by one.

Song Nan and his guards slept very sweetly. Zhengde and Liu Jin acted as night watchmen. Everyone could rest assured that the shouting below was a beautiful sleep as a lullaby. At dawn, everyone woke up one after another, but found that Zhengde and Liu Jin were still sitting on the edge of the cliff and looking down. The blue smoke in the Tart camp was in a mess. The soldiers slowly cleaned up the scattered tents and carried the horizontal bodies to dig pits and buried them.

"Your Majesty, take a rest and refresh yourself to welcome the attack of the Tsars. It's time for the Tsars to go crazy again at dawn." Song Nan persuaded softly.

Zhengde looked back at Song Nan and stayed up all night to make his eyes a little dark, but his expression was a little excited: "Song Nan, as you said, Jiang Bin tossed the Tatars miser miserably this night. I can't wait to go down to help fighting."

Song Nan sighed, "Your Majesty, the people are not vegetarian. Haven't you seen other camps move? Lord Jiang's doing this is just a stopgap measure. We can't help. Let's deal with the current crisis first. I'm afraid the emperor can't stand it. He must find a way to get some food. Eunuch Liu waited for the emperor to go up and rest for a while. After dawn, he can't sit on the cliff. The strong bow of the Tart is not a joke. I went around to look for something to eat.

Liu Jin responded, helped Zhengde down into the pit, and let Zhengde rest on the pit wall. Zhengde was really tired and closed his eyes to refresh his mind.

Song Nan looked at the bare peak, and there was nothing but gravel and gravel. The only thing that can be found is the cliff with some weeds and trees in the north. She fasteds three meals. Anyway, she has to make something that can cushion her stomach. Even the grass roots and bark must be chewed and swallowed. Otherwise, how can she be powerful? Pay for the suffering of the seventh day?

Song Nan slowly climbed down the cliff with Wan Zhi and several powerful guards and went down to the mountain beam that was invisible yesterday. Everyone looked down. The bodies of the Taritan soldiers buried by mud and stone yesterday began to corrupt, and the stench emanating up, and they could still smell the stench on the mountain beam more than ten feet high. Taste; everyone held their breath and searched along the rock wall, and almost all the thatched roots, tender tree bark, tender grass buds, etc. were swept away.

Song Nan found a elm money tree a foot high in a rock crevice, with a string of elm money growing vigorously on it, which suddenly became like a treasure and pulled up and kicked it in his arms.

"Your excellency, there are living things." Wan Zhi's surprised voice came.

Song Nan looked at it and saw Wan Zhi climbing the edge of the rock with one hand, tilting his body down to the crack of a rock, and waved to Song Nan with the other hand.

"living thing?" Song Nan was overjoyed.

"It looks like a snake." Wan Zhi stretched out his hand, and Song Nan hurriedly shouted, "Don't move, I'll come."

According to Song Nan's experience, snakes appearing in such rock walls are definitely not good. They are likely to be poisonous snakes, and poisons will come out of poor and evil places, which is similar to the poor mountains and rivers with more troubleless people.

Wan Zhi moved away and changed Song Nan. Song Nan looked into the crack. A colorful flower snake coiled in the crack of the rock and looked at Song Nan coldly. Song Nan recognized the snake, and the two meat horns on his head and the color on his body betrayed its identity. It was the unique rock-dbit snake in the north. It was happy to stand on the mountains. In the rock, it preys on the highly poisonous things of birds, rats and rabbits, but in Song Nan's eyes, this big snake is already a big meal. It is four feet long and is just a plate of nutritious meat.

Song Nan flirted several times with dead branches, and the grumpy viper couldn't bear to bite the fierce and lightning-like probe in his eyes. Song Nan's eyes were quick. At the moment it stretched out his head, he reached out to hold the back of its neck and pulled it hard, and pinched the big snake in his hand.

"Your Excellency is good at it." Wan Zhi praised.

Song Nan smiled and said, "I don't know how many times I have set up traps to catch wild animals in future generations. What is a snake?" The probe looked into the crack in the rock and made sure that there was nothing in it, and then quickly climbed to the top of the peak.

Each person has a small piece of roasted viper, plus a few elm leaves, plus a few tender bark and some sweet grass roots, which is the only meal for everyone from yesterday to this morning. No one has any complaints and criticism. The black and fishy snake meat usually looks disgusting, but at present, whether it is Zhengde Kangning or Dai Suer, Liu Jin, Song Nan and others, they are eating with relish, and even the belt bones are not left at all.

"Snake, snake, thank you for dedicating your body as our belly. I have made you a snake god. When I return to Beijing, I will set up a small temple for you to receive incense." Princess Corning found a small pit in the surprised eyes, buried the cut snake's head, and inserted a small wooden stick as a tombstone.

Everyone laughed, and Zhengde smiled and said, "The royal sister is really kind-hearted."

Conning said, "Shouldn't it be?"

Zhengde nodded repeatedly and said, "It's time to get out of trouble. The internal affairs government will set aside money to build a snake temple for you in the imperial garden."

Song Nan turned his head to look at Dai Suer and whispered, "How about snake meat?"

Dai Suer nodded and said, "It's delicious. It's my first time to eat it. I didn't expect it to be so delicious."

Song Nan smiled and said, "How can I remember that you are not the first time to eat it?" When you were in the Mashuikou fortress, didn't you tell Hongchou, who guarded the fort, that you loved snake meat the most?

Dai Suer blushed and was about to speak when she heard a sound of wings. An arrow fell from the air and inserted directly in front of them. At the same time, Wan Zhi's hoarse voice sounded: "The tartar has shot arrows again. Hide..."
