Chapter 7: The trenches dug behind



"This... is he really Song Chi?"

Changfeng Hou Shen Chong was completely bewildered. He really suspected that someone had possessed Song Chi. The Song Chi in front of him, who was calm and responsive, was nothing like the servile, useless and mediocre boy he had in mind.

"When people face life-or-death crises, they can unleash incredible power. Some people are initially dull, but suddenly become enlightened and become saints. I think Song Chi has finally gotten his bearings."

Shen Liangcai was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that Song Chi would turn from a mediocre person into a genius.

"This is a big deal. Didn't you see that the female commander was shocked?"

Shen Chong listened to the continuous exclamations from the surroundings, and his whole body felt dazed, as if he was dreaming. He even imagined that Song Chi could really defeat the son of the Prime Minister.

Listening to the surrounding noise, Song Ming took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He said loudly, "The military exercise confrontation was presided over and judged by the female commander, but it's not your turn to comment."

"Song Chi is right."

Liang Qingwu said calmly, "The area outside Blackwater City cannot accommodate such a large-scale cavalry charge. Due to geographical restrictions, there will inevitably be a stampede. Your army will suffer at least 5,000 casualties..."

“Five thousand?”

Song Ming asked, "Why is it so?"

"You have no idea what the consequences of a stampede during a large-scale cavalry charge would be. My statement of 5,000 casualties is extremely conservative, and I'm taking your status as the Prime Minister's son into consideration."

"puff....."

Song Chi laughed out loud. He had received professional training and would not laugh no matter how funny it was unless he couldn't help it.

This was the second time Liang Qingwu said this. He could clearly see that Song Ming's face couldn't get any darker.

For a person who is already extremely proud, the last thing he wants to hear is the word "take care of", especially in front of everyone, which will make others feel that even if he wins, it is an unfair victory.

Song Ming could neither accept nor refute it.

"Marquis Wu'an, Ming'er is a truly talented person and does not need your care." Song Shiwen, who had been sitting next to him, finally spoke, but it made Song Ming tremble physically and mentally.

How could Song Ming not hear it? This was his father reminding him to show his true abilities and not let others laugh at him anymore.

Song Ming's face was filled with anger and gloom. "There's no need to worry about me. Because of my previous inconsideration, the charging cavalry was trampled and caused 10,000 casualties. We still have 80,000 troops left. I ordered the entire army to attack. What can you do?"

This guy was a little out of his mind. Song Chi clearly saw Liang Qingwu shaking his head and sighing, and even Song Shiwen frowned.

Liang Qingwu originally judged that you had lost 5,000 soldiers, but you insisted on increasing the number to 10,000 to show that you were not being taken care of. Isn't this a disguised admission that you were being taken care of?

Song Shiwen, this is the talented and learned good son you mentioned. His true nature is about to be revealed.

Song Chi thought to himself and said, "When your cavalry rushes over, my three thousand cavalry will split into two waves and flee to both sides..."

"You escaped?"

"Yes, I escaped!"

Song Ming smiled and said, "You ran away. Are you admitting that you lost?"

"Who told you that running away means losing?"

Song Chi said calmly, "I asked the cavalry to withdraw from both sides just to clear the trenches behind them."

"Trench? What trench?" Song Ming looked confused.

Song Chi explained, "A trench dug in the rear. You send out 80,000 cavalry to charge. The momentum is already built and it's hard to stop. But a trench appears in front of you. What do you think will happen?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liang Qingwu's eyes sparkled with light, and her body even trembled with excitement, causing her full chest to sway slightly.

Song Ming was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but think along the lines of what Song Chi said. He was a majestic general. With his order, tens of thousands of cavalrymen behind him swept away like a dark cloud.

The enemy had only 3,000 cavalry, and they could be wiped out with just one charge. They shouted and rushed towards the enemy. When they were rushing at full speed, the enemy cavalry fled to both sides, revealing the criss-crossing trenches behind them.

The cavalrymen who were charging so fast could not stop immediately. They rushed in before anyone could react.

The cavalry in front fell into the trench, and the cavalry behind them rushed towards them uncontrollably. The originally neat formation suddenly became chaotic, crowded and collided, and the horses were frightened and out of control...

Song Ming's face changed drastically and he even broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't even imagine such a scene.

The people watching around were also filled with shock. Tens of thousands of cavalrymen charging at the same time was already a scene that blocked out the sky and the sun. If a ravine really appeared in front of them, the consequences would be unimaginable and would have a serious impact on the cavalry.

Song Chi continued, "The trenches are crisscrossed, making it impossible for war horses to cross. There are also barbed spikes buried in the trenches. If a war horse gets stuck, there is no way it can get out..."

"you……"

Song Ming couldn't help but shudder. Just imagining it was terrifying. If so many war horses were trapped, there would definitely be heavy losses.

He said directly: "You are simply talking nonsense. You said there is a trench, so there is a trench?"

"Have you forgotten what the female commander said just now? I have one day to prepare before your army arrives."

Song Chi said calmly, "I only sent 2,000 cavalry to set up an ambush at Heishankou. I still have 8,000 troops left. If I use the civilians in the city, it won't be difficult to dig a large trench. This is the preparation before the war."

“This…this…”

Song Ming's face turned extremely ugly, and he didn't know how to refute it, because this was completely feasible.

The people around looked at Song Chi with completely different eyes. This servant boy was really capable. The ambush at Heishankou was just a routine tactic and not uncommon.
