Han Yu said coldly, "Do you still want to be a scoundrel in front of everyone? You don't have the chance!"
Since they were answering at the same time, it was easy to imitate those who had gone before, so he was giving them a warning in advance, but this was extremely unfair, as his son was the real scoundrel.
Song Chi ignored him and asked seriously, "When the enemy attacks, do we send out scouts to detect them first, or do we launch a surprise attack without giving us a chance to react?"
Everyone was slightly startled, and then they saw that Song Chi's eyes had changed. This was very important, as there was a huge difference between preparing in advance and responding hastily.
Song Chi continued to ask: "What types of troops do we have? How many cavalry and infantry are there?"
After he finished speaking, a hint of deep surprise flashed in Song Ming's eyes. He didn't expect that Song Chi could actually ask for useful information.
"Everything you ask is crucial."
Liang Qingwu said, "The food stored in the city can only last for five days, including the expenses of all the people in the city."
She emphasized the last sentence deliberately. This was a very important piece of information, meaning that as long as the number of civilians decreased, the cost of military rations could be increased.
"The city is well-equipped for defense. We have 5,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry. Reinforcements will arrive in a month. Until then, you can only rely on yourselves. No external help is available!"
Everyone frowned. Judging from the current conditions, the defenders had no chance of winning. The disparity in troop strength was huge, reaching ten to one. Although the city defense equipment was sufficient, the food stored in the city could only last for five days.
After five days, the food and grass were cut off, and it was impossible to defend the city. They had no choice but to go out of the city to fight the enemy. However, a head-on battle with the enemy would inevitably lead to the destruction of the entire army.
No matter how you deduce it, the defending side is bound to lose, not to mention that the attacking team's coach is Liang Qingwu.
This isn't a test; it's just making things difficult for me.
Liang Qingwu glanced at the three men expressionlessly and said, "The question just now was actually a preliminary test. The ability to carefully consider the factors that determine victory in war is an essential quality for an excellent general. Only Han Yuanzheng didn't raise any questions, so he was eliminated!"
"disuse?"
"Why?"
Han Yuanzheng looked confused, and Han Yu's face was also full of doubts. It was true that his son was a runner-up, but this was also an opportunity to show his face. The previous rules did not mention such a part.
"Because I want to change the rules!"
Liang Qingwu turned to Song Chi and the others and said directly, "From now on, the test has truly begun. However, you will not be facing me, but each other. One will be the attacker, and the other will be the defender. The battle will continue until one side wins..."
Song Chi was slightly stunned. Liang Qingwu was clearly making trouble and had even changed the rules temporarily. However, he liked it because this way he could have a solo with Song Ming and slap him in the face even better.
This way you will feel more refreshed.
"Change the rules?"
Han Yu asked, "Is this...something wrong?"
His son was eliminated after just saying one word. He wanted to show off, but ended up embarrassing himself. Of course, he didn't want that.
"This is my homecoming banquet, so the decision should naturally be made by me!"
Liang Qingwu directly retorted to him, and Han Yu fell silent. It was indeed not his turn to make irresponsible remarks.
Han Yuanzheng gritted his teeth and was unwilling to leave, looking at Song Chi with resentment. In his opinion, if Song Chi had not joined unexpectedly, he would not have been eliminated so quickly.
This useless servant boy might not last even a single round against Young Master Ming, he sneered inwardly.
"Now you two will conduct a military exercise against each other."
Song Ming looked stunned. How could the rules be changed at the last minute?
He had prepared thoroughly before in order to let the female commander see his military talent, but now he was asked to compete with Song Chi. What could this show?
Everyone knows that he is a waste.
Does winning against a fool count as winning? Of course not!
And it won't do you any good.
Judging from the current conditions, the defending side is bound to lose and there is no possibility of winning. If Song Chi is allowed to choose first and he chooses the attacking side, then wouldn't I lose to him?
Any change in the rules will be disadvantageous to you.
At this time, Liang Qingwu looked at him and said, "You are the son of the Prime Minister. It is up to you to choose whether to be the attacker or the defender."
Song Ming's face suddenly darkened. How could he not know that Liang Qingwu seemed to be giving him a favor by letting him choose first, but in fact it was to embarrass him and make him win unfairly, and he had to accept it.
If Song Chi chose the attacking side, he would lose in this military exercise. Others don't know that Song Chi is his half-brother, so how could he lose to him?
Song Ming knew that Liang Qingwu was seeking revenge. It seemed that it was impossible to win her favor by using talent. I would drug you and let you experience the humiliation of seeking pleasure from me!
He thought to himself and said directly: "I choose the attacking side."
"I'm the defender."
"You don't know your own limitations!" Song Ming also sneered.
"Okay." Liang Qingwu continued, "In that case, let's decide on the attacking and defending parties. Song Ming is the Northern Wei general, leading an army of 100,000 across the border. Song Chi is the garrison commander of Blackwater City, with 10,000 soldiers and only enough food to last five days."
She turned to Song Chi, staring at him with her beautiful eyes.
"However, you have sent out scouts to discover that the enemy will be approaching the city. You have one day to prepare. Now you have two choices: one, abandon the city and flee, or two, assemble your army and prepare for battle. What will you choose?"
