Yu withdrew down the mountain.

General Rouran, who led the team with a gloomy face, went back to She Lun in great frustration and pleaded guilty: "Commander, this subordinate is incompetent, please punish me, Commander!"

She Lun cursed angrily: "It's really trash. There are less than 100 people in the family. You have more than 200 people. Not only did you fail to break through the fortress, you also lost more than [-] people. Why didn't you cut yourself off?"

General Rouran, who was leading the army, knelt on the ground and dared not make a sound.

"I'll give you another chance, let the warriors rest and recover their strength, and attack again today. If you can't attack, I'll cut off your head!"

"Yes, my subordinates will definitely capture Da'e Mountain Fort!"

The losses in Da'eshan Fort are being counted, and the soldiers are continuing to move defensive equipment in order to prepare before the next attack by the Rouran people.

The damage has been counted, and only seven people were shot dead, and four others were wounded by arrows, but were not seriously injured.This kind of loss made the captain of the fortress think that it is not time to send a warning to the beacon to the rear. If he really wants to light the beacon to warn the rear, he must wait until the most critical time to do so, otherwise the reinforcements will rush here to take a look. Nothing happened, who would be in such a hurry to lead a team for reinforcements in the future?

The attack in the afternoon caused the people of Rouran to be beaten to death. Without the assistance of siege equipment, the siege was too difficult for the people of Rouran. There were more than 520 people in the attack in the morning. With less than a hundred people, such a loss makes the remaining

The Rouran cavalry no longer had the courage, and fled back on horseback one after another.

Princess Tuzhen and Ta Wulu suddenly watched the excitement and jokes, and She Lun felt a little embarrassed, and immediately ordered someone to kill the general who led the team.

Early the next morning, She Lun fulfilled his promise and lent 500 people to Princess Tuzhen, who would command the attack on Da'e Mountain Fortress.

Tuzhen ordered people to prepare kerosene and dry firewood in advance, and she ordered all five hundred Rouran soldiers to dismount and climb up the mountain on foot to attack. On the way up the mountain, didn't she give the order to let the Rouran soldiers intersperse among the trees, relying on the trees to hide from the fortress Since the arrows were shot, the losses of Rouran's soldiers have been greatly reduced, and there has been no slipping and falling down the mountain.

Tawu Luhu at the foot of the mountain stroked his beard in relief and watched Tuzhen command these Rouran soldiers to attack Da'e Mountain Fort. Today's situation is much better than yesterday's. At least the casualties during the process on the mountain were greatly reduced compared with yesterday.

"The archers used trees and stones as cover to shoot at the Wei army in the fort!"

Following the order of Princess Tuzhen, the Rouran archers hid behind trees and shot at the Wei army in the fort after entering the range of the bow and arrow. Both sides came and went, causing casualties to each other. The level of casualties on the side is higher than that of the Wei army in the fort, but this is within the normal range and acceptable.

Tuzhen saw that the two sides had reached a stalemate, and immediately ordered: "The people in the back will go up to me, all of them are wearing small leather shields, pile the firewood in front of the fort gate, pour kerosene on it, and go!"

The small leather shield is the equipment of the Rouran cavalry. Under the current circumstances, Princess Tuzhen can only use limited conditions.

Some Rouran soldiers put small leather shields on top of their heads or in front of their bodies with one hand, and rushed towards the gate of the fort with dry firewood in one hand. The Rouran soldiers fell down one by one, and some Rouran soldiers continued to pile up in front of the fort gate with firewood. .

Dry firewood was piled up in front of the gate of the fort very quickly, and the kerosene was also poured on it. Princess Tuzhen pulled an arrow, and a soldier lit the oiled cloth strip on the arrow. With a "swish", the rocket shot out, and instantly He lit a large pile of firewood in front of the fort gate.

Chapter 193 Soldiers Arriving at Nantian Fort (for Subscription)

Wei Bing, who was guarding Da'e Mountain, watched helplessly as the fire engulfed the fort gate. Even the one-foot-thick fort gate was made of wood, so how could it withstand the fire?

During the process of burning the fort gate, the scorching heat made the defenders have to leave the parapet on the top of the fort, and the thick smoke produced during the burning made the defenders cry and cough non-stop.

When the fire weakened considerably, the gate of the fort had been burnt and cracked. Under the leadership of Princess Tuzhen, hundreds of Rouran soldiers rushed into the fort, jumped over the stones piled up behind the gate, and charged at the defenders who had lost most of their combat power. Army Wei Bing.

The Da'e Mountain Fort was breached, and more than 50 Wei soldiers were captured. If Princess Tuzhen hadn't stopped them in time, I'm afraid that all these Wei soldiers would be killed by the brutal Rouran soldiers.

Following the Da'e Mountain Fort, Princess Tuzhen led the troops to attack Tunzuo Mountain Fort in one go. Both the Da'e Mountain Fort and the Tunzuo Mountain Fort that were built hastily had many deficiencies in defense, and they were not fully considered in their construction. Due to various factors, defense loopholes abound, but these loopholes were discovered and exploited by Princess Tuzhen.

Tunzuo Mountain Fortress was captured by Princess Tuzhen before it lasted half a day. The difference from Daye Mountain Fort was that after Tunzuo Mountain was breached, the defenders led a fierce resistance under the leadership of the team leader. died, and Princess Tuzhen also lost more than 70 people.

The battle against Tunzuo Mountain Fortress was a tragic battle for Princess Tuzhen. The Wei soldiers here resisted tenaciously with a completely different force than when she led the army to attack Da'e Mountain.

Seeing the corpses, limbs and arms scattered all over the fort, as well as arrows, knives, and spears, Princess Tuzhen took a deep breath and ordered: "Gather them all and burn them all, and destroy this fort!"

"Yes, princess!"

The Rouran soldiers under his command faithfully carried out Princess Tuzhen's orders. For soldiers of any army, a general who can lead them to victory is worthy of loyalty and sincere support. Even though Princess Tuzhen is just a woman, she has This kind of ability and personality charm made these Rouran soldiers fight bravely without fear of death.

For two or three days in a row, the news that the two big forts, Da'e Mountain Fort and Tunzuo Mountain Fort, were successively breached by the Rouran people spread back to the Jinling Camp. The Wei army in the Jinling Camp did not even have time to react. The fort was razed to the ground.

Zhao Junsheng was assigning the task of escorting food and supplies to his convoy soldiers, and he was preparing to personally lead a team to deliver food and supplies to Nantian Fort guarded by Hua Mulan when he heard the two unfortunate news.

Hearing the news, Zhao Junsheng was very upset, and immediately went to the camp of the town garrison army to ask to see Wan Dugui.

"Master, the two big castles of Da'e Mountain and Tunzuo Mountain have been attacked and burned by the Rouran people one after another. As the most prominent Nantian Castle in the north, it must also be the target of the Rouran people's attack. They will definitely send troops to attack Nantian in the next step. Fort, please send troops to reinforce Nantian Fort, otherwise Hua Mulan and the others will be in danger!"

Wan Dugui got up and poured Zhao Junsheng a bowl of hot water to comfort him: "Don't worry, drink a bowl of hot water and listen to what Ben will tell you!"

Zhao Junsheng took the pottery bowl and said anxiously: "My lord, I don't care about drinking water now. I can't wait to fly to Nantianbao immediately. It's only half a day away from here. It doesn't take two days to send cavalry to reinforce it." an hour!"

Wan Dugui was not affected by Zhao Junsheng's anxious mood, and said in a deep voice: "Woye Town and Youwei Army sent people to check Da'e Mountain and Tunzuo Mountain to check the scene where the Rouran people attacked these two big forts. Rouran did not

Send out a brigade of soldiers and horses, only five or six hundred at most!Why?General An's analysis has three possibilities: first, the Rouran people are luring our army to counterattack; second, the Rouran people are preparing for the next large-scale attack!Thirdly, the fortresses we built have made the people of Rouran choke their throats. Their purpose of sending troops is only to pull out these fortresses, and they don't want to go to war.Now that the imperial court has formulated this year's combat strategy, the main offensive focus is on the Guanzhong area, so we cannot take the initiative to provoke a large-scale war with Rouran, we can only conduct defense. If we take the initiative to send troops, we do not have the strength now. Not enough troops to fight either! "

"After the Rouran people broke through Da'e Mountain Fort and Tunzuo Mountain Fort, they did not send troops to garrison them, but destroyed them. General An believed that the purpose of the Rouran people

It should be the second and third possibilities! "

"Now, we haven't received a distress signal from Hua Mulan, which shows that she is still safe for the time being! Even if the Rouran people attack Nantianbao, she will have enough time to send a distress signal. The fall of Da'e Mountain and Tunzuo Mountain is actually Not all the Rouran people have strong attack power, and it is also related to the slackness of our defenders, but I believe Hua Mulan will not be like this!"

Speaking of this, Wan Dugui walked to the map and pointed to the location of Nantian Fort and said: "You see, the terrain of Nantian Fort is not suitable for the enemy to launch a large-scale attack. However, it is not easy for people to easily capture Nantian Fortress, and Nantian Fortress is too small to accommodate too many troops. It is already crowded with 50 people in it. Even if we send more people there, what is the use? ?”

Zhao Junsheng didn't speak for a while, and after a full cup of tea, he suddenly asked: "Master, the garrison in the defense area rotates every two months, Hua Mulan and the others should be up soon, right?"

"There are still three days until the rotation period!"

Zhao Junsheng couldn't wait any longer, he clasped his fists and said, "Master, I have to go to Nantianbao to have a look, and send this batch of food and supplies to them by the way!"

Wan Dugui looked at Zhao Junsheng, weighed it up and agreed: "Okay, you can go and have a look, if there are really Rouran people attacking Nantianbao, if they really can't hold on, let Hua Mulan light the beacon, I will send Send reinforcements!"

Zhao Junsheng understood that Wandugui didn't send reinforcements because he didn't receive Hua Mulan's distress signal, but because the training of the Huaishuo town garrison hadn't been completed yet. The fact that he sent troops to reinforce was to send them to die.

On the other hand, Nantianbao does not have enough space and defense facilities to accommodate reinforcements, how many people should be sent there?How do you send troops if the enemy hasn't come yet?Sending too many can't hold it, and sending too few is useless. You have to wait for the enemy to appear and determine the number of enemy troops before sending troops.

"Farewell, subordinate!"

After Zhao Junsheng left the town garrison camp, he immediately led a supply team of more than [-] people to guard the horse convoy full of grain and supplies and rushed towards Nantianbao.

······

Nantianbao.

The Nantian Fort at this time was very different from when it was just built more than a month ago. The large-scale melting of ice and snow gave Hua Mulan and her soldiers great convenience.

The hillsides on the north and south sides of Nantian Castle have been dug by Hua Mulan and her soldiers. Hundreds of traps and horse pits have been dug. Inserted upside down on the hillside, there is only one path for one person to walk on the north and south sides of the hillside leading to Nantianbao on the hill.

.

Hundreds of Rouran cavalry came up from the plain to the north of the hill. Since they crossed the forest a few miles to the north, Hua Mulan's secret sentry pulled the rope to warn the inside of the fort.

At this time, all the defense matters in the fort were ready, and all the soldiers were ready under Hua Mulan's order.

Hua Mulan supported the female wall on the top of the fort with one hand, and held the knife handle in the other hand to observe the Rouran cavalry lined up a mile down the hillside. She found several generals in iron armor riding in front of the cavalry formation. It seems that there is also a female general.

The Rouran generals in iron armor must have a high status in the Rouran army. What's more interesting is that there are female generals in this group of Rouran cavalry. Even if all the people in Rouran are soldiers, they will not send women to fight unless the woman is Daughter of the tribal leader!
