Of course, Song Ming did not understand the art of war, but he knew the test in advance and could prepare accordingly. He had already memorized the answers and knew how to defend.
But now it seems that his carefully prepared city defense strategy is no match for Song Chi's.
Why?
Isn't he a loser who couldn't even pass the county exam? How could he possibly know military strategy?
And there's this bitch Liang Qingwu. Why would she change the rules so drastically that I can't use my fully prepared moves?
"Master Song, do you want to continue?"
At this time, Liang Qingwu's question interrupted his thoughts. Song Ming raised his eyes and clearly saw disdain in her eyes.
Liang Qingwu was the female commander of the Great Zhou. With just a few words, she could tell that the son of the Prime Minister knew nothing about military strategy.
Bitch!
Song Ming felt his pride was hurt. He gritted his teeth and said, "I still have 50,000 men. I still have the advantage in manpower. How could I lose?"
This guy really won't cry until he sees the coffin.
Before Liang Qingwu could speak, Song Chi turned to Song Ming. The two of them stood opposite each other, and the confrontation became even stronger. He asked directly, "After this defeat, what is your first priority?"
"Forget about continuing the attack. Even if it's just talk, it has to be realistic. We can't just talk without thinking. Whether we can think things through is the real test that the female commander will give us."
His words were sharp, almost interrogating. Song Ming's face flashed with panic. He no longer had the confidence he had before, and he didn't dare to speak out. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Of course, I ordered the entire army to rest."
This is in line with the current situation. After two consecutive failures, it would be a foolish act to force an attack on the city. The onlookers were all stunned. It seemed that Song Ming was serious.
"good!"
Song Chi continued to ask, "Then where did your army set up camp to rest?"
Song Ming did not answer directly as he usually did. Instead, he walked to the military map and pondered for a long time before saying, "West Hill."
After saying this, he said with a sarcastic look: "You don't think you can stump me, do you?"
Song Chi nodded. Xiqiu is a hill three miles away from Heishui City. Next to it is the Heishui River. It is close to the water source and convenient for getting water. There is no cover on all sides and the terrain is open.
It really is the perfect place to camp!
"Mr. Ming is indeed Mr. Ming."
Han Yuanzheng started to brag again, and it has to be said that these two steps are indeed full of details and show military talent.
Song Ming asked again: "Are you planning to set up an ambush here? The surrounding area is flat, and we can always keep an eye on the enemy even at night..."
"I will not raid, I will flood your camp."
"Flooded camp?"
"That's right."
Song Chi walked over to the military map and pointed at the markings on it. "Your camp is right next to the Blackwater River. Without the rain during the flood season, the river won't flood the shore. But what if I store water upstream first, and then release it after you've set up camp?"
"you……"
Song Ming's face suddenly changed, and the people around him gathered around him, obviously to verify the possibility of Song Chi's words about the camp being flooded.
The camp is on the lower reaches of the Blackwater River. If the water is stored upstream and then suddenly released, the water will flow as fast as a tide and will surely flood the shore, and naturally the camp will also be flooded!
The Northern Wei cavalry had been on a long march and had suffered two defeats, so they were naturally exhausted and could not cope with the sudden torrent.
"No!"
Song Ming shouted, "You only had one day to prepare, set up an ambush at the Blackwater Estuary, and dug trenches in advance. Even if you had enough time, you wouldn't have enough manpower. How could you possibly accomplish this?"
"I don't have enough troops, but I can mobilize the civilians in the city."
Song Chi said calmly, "When facing a powerful enemy attack, the military and civilians should unite to fight together. Only in this way can one be a qualified defender. What's the problem with this?"
"I see!"
Song Ming gritted his teeth and said, "You asked me that question intentionally to lead me into your trap. You are really despicable."
"As the saying goes, all is fair in war!"
Song Chi said calmly, "I never thought that you, who are known as a young genius, would be so poor at military strategy. I think you should just admit defeat to avoid embarrassment!"
When Song Chi spoke, he was looking at Song Shiwen. This is the good son you have chosen. He only has a superficial understanding of military tactics and military affairs, and has no talent at all.
Song Shiwen was the prime minister of the time. He should have seen it more clearly than anyone else. If they continued, it would be his people who would be lost, so he should have called a halt.
"Ming'er."
Song Shiwen said, "Originally, choosing the attacking side meant you won unfairly. But now we've witnessed a fantastic military exercise, a truly immersive confrontation, as if you were actually on the battlefield. I think... let's just end it like this."
Sure enough, this guy couldn't sit still anymore, Song Chi sneered in his heart.
He just said it was over without mentioning who won or lost, trying to get away with it. Ultimately, he still had to keep face for the son he loved.
"Yeah, it's time to wrap up. Everyone must be hungry. Let's not delay the banquet."
Han Yu also stood up and laughed. At this time, he naturally knew what to say, and the people around him immediately followed suit.
The Prime Minister's majesty was once again demonstrated, and others would follow his will.
"No, I want to continue the competition. I didn't lose!"
Song Ming shouted loudly. Of course he knew what his father meant, but he was too proud to accept this kind of "care".
He is a well-known young genius, and he is the son of the Prime Minister.
If it was someone else, he would recognize him, but he would not recognize this person because he was his "brother".
Song Chi was abandoned in the countryside when he was young. He had to work as a servant for others in order to have the opportunity to study. However, he was living a life of luxury in the capital and was taught by famous teachers. If he really lost, how would his father look at him?
It was obvious that Song Ming had lost his mind. Seeing this scene, Song Chi felt a little bored. This guy was just a spoiled young man who couldn't stand any grievance.
