my wife is mulan

At this time, Zhao Junsheng was waiting outside the tooth tent with Hua Mulan, Zhao Junsheng said: "Mulan, tomorrow I will lead a team to Shanwu County to escort food and grass, do you need anything I can bring back for you?"

Hua Mulan shook her head: "You have already prepared everything I need. You don't need to bring anything. As long as you return safely along the way, I can rest assured! By the way, this time it won't be like last time. Have you been made things difficult by the governor's grain and grass officer?"

Zhao Junsheng curled his lips: "Dare he? I have his tricks in my hand. If he dares to delay the time and play tricks with me again, I will send him, the governor of food and grass, to prison!"

Hua Mulan reminded again: "Pay attention to changes in the weather! Also, beware of encountering the Rouran cavalry. Before setting off, you must think of everything and think about the corresponding countermeasures. Once you encounter something, you should deal with it according to the predetermined thinking!"

Zhao Junsheng patted Hua Mulan's hand: "Don't worry, I've thought it through!"

At this moment, Wan Dugui came out from the tooth tent, waved to Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng, and led them back to the garrison camp in Huaishuo Town. He immediately called the owners of the buildings to discuss how to increase the number of patrols, build forts, The matter of the archery tower and the beacon tower.

Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng brought the soldiers from the supply camp

The troops and the team sent by An Yuan to escort Ba Baye, He Laichao, He Ruoting and others set off for Shanwu County together with the troops sent by Wan Dugui to guard Wan Yutong's master and servant. The returned home will bring everything together.

On the afternoon when Zhao Junsheng and others set off, Wan Dugui returned from the right guard camp, and he once again called the owners or deputy of each building to discuss matters.

"Everyone, General An has divided the defense area for my Huaishuo Town Garrison Army. Our defense area is located in the northeast of Jinling. The area from Huangnipo to the south of the coyote ditch, the east of Yanyan Ridge, and the west of Xiaosha River is our area. Army defense area! The defense area of ​​the right guard is in the middle, facing Shengle City, and the defense area of ​​Woye Town is to the west!"

Wan Dugui scratched an area with his fingers on a hanging sheepskin map, and continued to say to everyone: "We need to build five small forts, three large forts, eight outposts, Five beacon towers, their locations are marked in the picture!"

"According to General An's decision and idea, there are three garrisons in the big fortress, and a team leader is temporarily set up to rule them; one garrison in the small fortress is led by the leader of the yaya; one garrison in the outpost is led by the leader of the army; A garrison army, led by the corps chief! The resident troops will be rotated every two months. The garrison soldiers will conduct drills while defending. They must be strict in military discipline and must not slack off. Patrol and defense! Fortresses, outposts, and beacon towers will be determined by drawing lots, and whichever team is drawn will be stationed there, and no conditions can be negotiated! Those who have already settled in will not participate in the next lottery. A lottery will be drawn for those who have not yet carried out defense missions!"

After Wan Dugui finished speaking, he glanced at the generals and asked, "Do you understand what this general said?"

All the generals answered in unison: "Understood!"

"Okay, pass on the general's order. After a quarter of an hour, the whole army will gather at the school grounds and wait for orders. There must be no mistakes!"

After the military order was issued, the men and horses who were still practicing finished their drills, and the soldiers who were on vacation also finished their rest, put on their armor, put on their weapons, and rode their horses to the school grounds to assemble.

Wan Dugui brought all the owners to the counting platform, and he ordered all the tooth masters to go to the counting platform to draw lots. First, the lottery was drawn for the garrison of the big fortress, and nine of them won the task of garrison defense; Draw lots for the garrison of the three small fortresses. Unfortunately, the tooth under Hua Mulan's leadership won the garrison task, and the location of the garrison was Nantian Fort.

Nantian Fort is the closest place to the area controlled by the Rouran forces. It is a hill originally called Nantian Hill. If a fortress is built, it will be named Nantian Fort.

In the early morning of the next day, all the soldiers and horses drawn to the garrison mission were preparing for departure, and the first tooth of the third team of the second building where Hua Mulan was located gathered together under her order.

The team didn't stand neatly, but they were very imposing. Hua Mulan held the hilt of her sword and looked at the No. 30 troops under her and said loudly: "Nantiangang is the closest to the area controlled by the Rouran forces, and the farthest from here! It is bad news for those who live there, but it is a dream for those who really want to make contributions and serve the court. Our family grows the land granted by the court and grazes on the pasture given by the court, so we have to replace the court Work hard, I don't talk about great principles, you should understand the principle of taking people's money and eliminating disasters with others, right? Those who are cowards can stand up now, and I will let you stay and watch the house. Is there anyone who doesn't want to go? of?"

When Hua Mulan asked this question, no matter how timid she was, she would not be able to stand up, otherwise she would be ridiculed. How can she stay in the army in the future?

"Okay, since no one admits that they are timid, then I think you are all men, and you are all reputable heroes! Have you all packed up?"

More than thirty people responded in unison: "Ready!"

Hua Mulan walked past the soldiers, stopped in front of one soldier, and straightened his crooked helmet; then went to another soldier to wipe off the mud on his armor; the second soldier in the third row The soldier stopped in front of him and saw a hole in the toe of the boot on his foot, exposing the toes, and asked, "Why don't you replace the boots with a new pair?"

The soldier said embarrassedly: "I...my feet

Big, not only did he wear out the shoes he brought, but he also wore out the pair of military boots he was issued with. There are no other shoes to wear! "

Hua Mulan thought for a while, walked to her horse, took out a needle, thread and a piece of leather from a bag, went back to the soldier and ordered, "Take off your boots!"

The soldier obeyed his orders and took off his holed boots, and the smell of feet spread. The soldiers around him covered their noses one after another, and everyone looked disgusted.

Hua Mulan, as if she hadn't smelled it, stuck the leather to the hole, stitched it up stitch by stitch, and quickly closed the hole, "Okay, let's put it on!" After speaking, she got up and put it away. Needlework.

The soldier was extremely grateful: "Thank you Lord Tooth!"

Hua Mulan waved her hand, went back to the horse and hid the needle and thread, stepped on the horse and waved to everyone: "Everyone get on the horse, let's go!"

More than [-] people got on their horses one after another, and under the leadership of Hua Mulan, they left the town garrison camp and headed towards Nantiangang.

Hua Mulan led the team and led the way. She deliberately controlled the speed of the march, riding on the horseback and controlling the horses to walk fast, so as to save the horses' physical strength to the greatest extent and allow them to travel farther.

It is more than forty miles from Jinling to Nantiangang. Hua Mulan and her soldiers rode on horseback from morning to arrival in the afternoon.

They set up a camp under the southern hill of Nantiangang. This is a leeward place, and there is no cold wind. She set up another tent on Nantiangang as a warning point to monitor the movement in the north, and guard against the possibility of coming from the Rouran people in the north. raid.

Chapter 179 Building a Fortress in Ice and Snow

On a snowy night, the cold wind was still raging on the ground, and the trees and tents around the camp were blown and humming.

Hua Mulan led her own soldiers and heralds and three soldiers to inspect the sleeping situation of the guard post, patrol team and soldiers in the camp.

The guards carried lanterns in front, and the lanterns illuminated the way forward. They came to the hill, and the wind here was very strong. When they walked up the hill, they were blown by the cold wind and walked hard. It was like a stabbing test. The limit of human endurance.

Fortunately, the camp used as a sentry post on the hill used four logs as support points, otherwise it would have been blown over by the strong wind long ago.

There are two people on duty in this sentry tent, and they take turns to observe the surrounding situation. When they saw Hua Mulan and others coming, they immediately straightened their bodies with spears in their hands: "Lord Ya!"

Hua Mulan observed the spirits of the two men, nodded and asked, "Have you found any enemy?"

The man on duty answered loudly, "Not yet!"

Hua Mulan took a look inside the camp, patted the two men on the shoulders and said to them: "Persist for one night, and tomorrow morning Ben Ya will have someone build a wooden house and build a fire kang in the house, and you can collect some branches and wood for the night." Light a fire to keep warm!"

"Thank you Tooth Lord!"

"But the person on duty must not leave the post midway, and keep your eyes on the north for Ben Ya. If your negligence allows the enemy to approach and you don't notice it, causing our army to suffer huge losses, Ben Ya will definitely deal with it according to military law. show mercy!"

The two sentries immediately agreed loudly: "Obey!"

Coming down from the hill, Hua Mulan led three soldiers and carried lanterns into the tents to check the sleeping conditions of the soldiers. The soldiers marched during the day, and after arriving, they set up camps and stables. They were very tired. Already in dreamland.

Finally, after inspecting the stables and finding nothing unusual, Hua Mulan returned to her tent with three soldiers.

The personal soldier is from Huajiabao, and Hua Mulan knows everything about him. Although he looks big and thick, he is very clever. She ordered: "Oiran, pour tea!"

The oiran agreed and brought a bowl of steaming tea to Hua Mulan and the three soldiers.

Hua Mulan picked up the tea bowl and said to the three people: "Let's talk while drinking tea! Huahai, tomorrow morning you send five people to cut down some trees and put up the sentry box on the hill. The wind on the hill is too strong. , The camp tent will be blown down after a long time! In the evening, I went to the top of the next mountain to have a look. There is a wide view. If there is no heavy fog, you can see far away. There are some rocks on the top of the mountain. You send five other people to the top of the mountain Build a beacon tower, collect wood and pile it on the beacon tower, pour kerosene on the wood, and prepare the fire, so that the beacon fire can be lit at any time!"

Hua Mulan has three teeth, and one of them is all from Huajiabao. Counting Hua Mulan and the oiran, there are a total of 12 people from Huajiabao. Together, fellow villagers can take care of each other and unite to protect themselves. It is also a common phenomenon in the army not to be bullied by others.

Huahai clasped her fists and agreed: "Yes, Yazhu!"

Hua Mulan gave instructions to the other two soldiers, Wang Liang and Chu Qingshan: "Tomorrow you two will get up early, bring a few people to cut some thorns and branches, weave baskets, and cut down trees to make poles. If we want to build a fort, we must first Get the tools ready! We still have three sleds, after weaving the baskets, let the brothers go to the foot of the nearby mountain to pick up stones, load the stones into the sleds with the baskets, and drive the horse-drawn sleds to transport the stones to the hills!"

Speaking of this, Hua Mulan's face became serious: "Our place is the closest to the flexible man's control area, there should be Rouran Rangers around here from time to time, we will be spotted by Rouran Rangers soon after we appear here, and the news will be sent back to Shengle City Afterwards, the Rouran cavalry there is likely to attack us, so we don't have much time, we must build the Nantian Fort in the shortest possible time! As long as we build the Nantian Fort, we will have defense Strength, can block the attack of most Rouran cavalry with a small number of troops!"

The three soldiers clasped their fists together and agreed: "Yes, Yazhu!"

After the meeting ended, Hua Mulan washed her face with hot water from Huahai, and soaked her feet. Her body became much warmer.

The copper basins were bought by Zhao Junsheng from Shanwu County last time.

While soaking her feet, Hua Mulan was thinking about something on her mind.
