my wife is mulan

The two came to the edge of the trap and saw the body of Rouran Tanshao lying underneath. Hua Mulan's face became more solemn than ever. She knew that the battle was not far away for her and her soldiers.

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and looked around, and found that there was a footprint extending towards the top of the mountain. At this time, Lu Xuanbo had already carried his sword and followed the footprints to search for the top of the mountain.

"Come on, let's get this Rouran's body up first!" Zhao Junsheng said, sticking his long knife into the snow.

Hua Mulan took his hand and slowly lowered him into the trap.

This Rouran Sensao was not big in size, but he was not light in weight. Zhao Junsheng took some effort to pull him out from the spikes of the stake, and then threw the body on the ground.

Some blood was sprinkled on the snow. Zhao Junsheng cleaned up the blood, disguised the trap, and restored it to its original state.

At this time Lu Xuanbo led a horse down the mountain, "Master, this horse is tied to a big rock on the top of the mountain, it should belong to the Rouran spy! Except for the horse and a person's footprints, No other suspicious things were found!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at Hua Mulan: "Mulan, if someone died here and didn't go back, there will definitely be Rouran detectives looking for them. I think you must prepare for defense as soon as possible!"

Hua Mulan pondered for a while with a solemn expression, "Take the corpse back first!"

Lu Xuanbo threw the body on the horse's back, led the horse and followed them down the mountain.

Back at the Nantiangang camp, the corpses they brought back shocked everyone, even Zhao Junsheng's supply soldiers also ran over to watch the fun, this was the first time they saw the Rouran cavalry.

Another person in the crowd whispered: "It turns out that Rouran looks like this, so vicious!"

Someone next to him disdain: "Long

It's so vicious that there's a bird to use, it's not dead! "

Hua Mulan glanced at the crowd, and shouted loudly: "All soldiers and Ben Ya enter the tent to discuss matters!" After speaking, she turned and walked into the tent.

The three soldiers looked at each other and walked into the tent one by one, followed by Zhao Junsheng.

Hua Mulan's expression was unprecedentedly serious: "You have all seen that the Rouran cavalry has come under our noses, and our fort has not yet been built. Tell me how you should deal with it now?"

Hua Mulan originally wanted to let her subordinates use their brains to think of a solution, and she might be able to come up with some solutions by brainstorming, and then choose the best method to make a countermeasure, but she usually looks serious and unsmiling in front of the soldiers. Even the three soldiers did not dare to be presumptuous in front of her, so they all clasped their fists and said: "Your subordinates wait for everything to follow the orders of Yazhu!"

Hua Mulan was helpless, she couldn't help looking at Zhao Junsheng: "Brother Junsheng, what do you think?"

Zhao Junsheng played with a dagger and a wooden carving, thought for a while and said, "Maybe this evening or tomorrow, other Rouran scouts will find the forest in front of us. We have to build the fort as soon as possible! How about it, My brothers from the supply camp and I will stay here for a day to help you build the fort!"

"In addition, we must also set up an early warning mechanism!"

Flowers

Lan couldn't help asking: "How to set up an early warning mechanism?"

Zhao Junsheng pointed to the mountains and forests a few miles to the north and said: "Set up a secret post there. Once Rouran scouts appear, they will immediately report to this side through special methods! If you don't care about being discovered by Rouran people, we will know about them. For the news of arrival, you can pile up a pile of dry firewood in the forest, dig a hole nearby, like a trap, and hide a person in it as a secret sentry. As soon as the pyre is lit, thick smoke and flames will rise, and you will be able to spot it immediately!"

Hua Mulan nodded, "This is indeed a good way, but the secret whistle is easy to expose, and the chance of survival is not great! If we don't want the enemy to find out that we have learned the news, what should we do?"

"Then use a more concealed method! Pull a thin rope from here, hang a bell, and lead the thin rope to the hidden secret sentry in the mountains a few miles away. If the secret sentry finds the Rouran cavalry, immediately pull the thin rope The rope, the thin rope is pulled, and the bell here will ring, so we can know that an enemy has appeared! We can also make an agreement with the secret sentry that the enemy will only pull the bell once if there are less than ten enemies; more than ten but less than 20 , pull twice, and so on! If there are more than a hundred people, ring the bell quickly!"

Hua Mulan was in high spirits when she heard it, she relished it, and restrained herself from praising, "Brother Junsheng's idea is great! Let's do it like this!"

Under the command of Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan, the soldiers of both sides immediately started to move, and the speed of building the fort suddenly accelerated. Several other soldiers, led by Zhao Junsheng, went down to dig traps and bury strings.

The next morning, as the sun rose, the snow and ice melted further.

Several Rouran cavalry appeared on the top of the mountain a few miles to the north of Nantiangang. These men were wrapped in fur and cowhide armor outside. They wore fur helmets with horsetails hanging behind the helmets. Long furry ear protectors hung from the sides of the helmets. The leading commander waved his hand, and several Rouran cavalrymen jumped off their horses and spread out quickly.

Not long after, a Rouran spy returned to the top of the mountain and reported to the ten-man: "Ten-man, Telich's footprints disappeared halfway up the mountain. I found a man-made trap there, and there was a lot of blood in the trap!"

Chapter 185 Opening the net and waiting (three more)

The Ten Commander appeared beside the trap with a few Rouran scouts, and with the help of two of his men, he jumped into the trap pit, squatted in the pit, and watched the dried reddish-brown blood stains on the spikes of several wooden stakes.

He reached out and pulled out the small flesh-cutting knife at his waist and scraped off some dried blood stains on the spikes of a wooden post. He sniffed it with his nose, and looked up at the eyes on the top of his head: "It's human blood, left yesterday. of!"

Two Rouran scouts pulled the ten commander up, and another Rouran scout stepped on the half-melted snow and came over to touch his chest and reported: "Ten commander, I found some footprints around, and there is another Footprints and horseshoe prints were also found at the foot of the mountain!"

"Go, take me to see!"

Under the guidance of this Rouran scout, the Ten Commander brought several other scouts to the foot of the mountain, and they stood around some footprints and horseshoe prints.

"These footprints are different, and they are not the same as those of Jielic. It seems that Jielic and his horse were taken away by the Xianbei people!" After the Ten Commander finished speaking, he looked at Nantiangang a few miles away. , a ferocious look flashed in his eyes.

On Nantiangang, the soldiers are still busy. Wooden shelves are built inside and outside the wall. Some soldiers are smearing mud on the wall and decorating the wall. The fortress has been capped. The wall and the female wall are connected to the archery tower.

The entire fortress is divided into three floors. The first floor has only one door to enter the fort. There are no windows, and there are ventilation holes leading to the top of the fort. This is the resting place for soldiers; , there is also a kitchen for cooking for everyone, there are stairs leading to it from the first floor, there are archery holes all around, and only through the archery holes for lighting; the third floor has granaries, defensive equipment warehouses, stacked stones and wood , swords, bows and arrows, and there are archery holes around the walls; there are stairs leading to the top of the fort from the third floor. The third floor and the top of the fort are the center of gravity of the defense force, and the main forces are deployed in these two places.

There is also a small reservoir on the top of the fort, which can store rainwater for the defenders.When the soldiers excavated the soil on the side of the fort to build the fort, they dug a large pit, which formed a slightly larger pool. Army drink.

Outside the fortress, Hua Mulan looked at the figures at the foot of the northern mountain forest and asked Zhao Junsheng, "Brother Junsheng, do you think they will attack today?"

Zhao Junsheng let out a hot breath: "Now that the fort has been roughly completed and the defense force has been formed, they want to attack a fort with less than ten people. Unless they are crazy, they will not do such a stupid thing! If it were me, I would They will definitely not act rashly. The mission of the scouts is not to fight and kill people, but to scout out the enemy's situation. I guess they will withdraw first, and then find a way to find out the situation here, report the information they have found, and wait for Rou who is stationed in Shengle City Then the general will make a decision!"

After listening to Zhao Junsheng's analysis, Hua Mulan looked at the figures of the Rouran scouts still at the foot of the mountain, "Brother Junsheng, do you think we still have a few days to prepare?"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "That's not certain. I'm not a roundworm in the belly of General Rouran stationed in Shengle City. How do I know what he's thinking? Maybe Rouran's cavalry will come tomorrow, maybe it will take ten days Half a month!"

At the foot of the mountain, the Ten Commander was still staring at the fortress standing on the hill in the distance, seeing the busy sounds on the fortress, his knife-like face was full of murderous looks, and the men standing beside him felt the danger.

"Ten Commander, what do we do now...?" one of his subordinates, Rou Ran Detective Qi, asked.

"Go back!" The ten husband commander turned around and left without hesitation.

Several Rouran scouts looked at each other, and one of them chased after them: "Commander, did we just leave? Did Telich die in vain? Also, we only saw a fort built by the Xianbei here. Other than that, I haven't found anything clearly, how can I explain to Xiaoshuai when I go back?"

Since Rouran Khan Yu Jiulu Shelun established the royal court on the banks of Ruoluo River in 402 A.D., and called himself Qiudoufa Khan, he borrowed from the military system of the Northern Wei Dynasty, with a thousand soldiers as an army, and one general in the army, called a general; With a hundred people as a building, there is one commander in the building, called Xiaoshuai; the commander of more than [-] troops is called Dashuai, which is generally only given to tribal leaders.

Qualified to be called Marshal.

"Go back to the foothold and join a few other people. It's easy to be spotted by the Xianbei people in broad daylight. Wait until it's dark and then try to find a way to find out their reality!"

On the hill, Hua Mulan saw Rouran's figure disappearing into the forest in the distance, "Brother Junsheng, they're leaving!"

"They will come again, maybe tonight! If they are elite and qualified scouts, how can they leave easily without finding out our reality? I guess they are waiting for the dark! "

Zhao Junsheng's words made Hua Mulan's embroidered eyebrows twitch together, "Brother Junsheng means that they will sneak over to find out about us in the dark?"

"It's very possible!"

Zhao Junsheng touched his chin and said: "There is only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. It is not a good thing to be stared at by these Rouran scouts all day long. I think we have to find a way to attract them all." Come here and kill them together! If they find out what's true here and report it to General Rouran, Nantian Castle will face a massive attack!"

"How do I get them all here?"

Zhao Junsheng rubbed the stubble on his chin and waved to Hua Mulan: "Come here with your ears attached!"

Hua Mulan followed her ear, and Zhao Junsheng gently bit her earlobe and whispered: "You are so like this..."
