my wife is mulan

Bingtou Huahai walked up to Hua Mulan and clasped his fists to report: "Lord Ya, everyone is in place! Do you want to light a beacon to warn the rear?"

Hua Mulan thought for a while and shook her head: "I don't need it for the time being. Now Nantian Castle is not so easy to attack. Only one team can come up at a time. It won't be too late to light the beacon fire when there is a real problem in defense! Go and use some archery All the good soldiers are transferred here, and their original positions are replaced by others!"

"Yes!"

Four soldiers with fairly good archery skills were transferred to the top of the castle, and they stood together behind the north-facing parapet under Hua Mulan's order.

A mile away from the hillside, Rouran cavalry

Before the army formation.

She Lun beat his palms with a horsewhip, and asked Princess Tuzhen, "Princess, there is one thing I don't understand. Since you captured Da'e Mountain Fort and Tunzuo Mountain Fort, why did you let the sons destroy them? We sent troops ourselves." Isn't it good to be stationed?"

Princess Tuzhen turned her head to look at Shelun, then continued to observe the fortress standing on the opposite hill, and said, "Will your cavalry defend the fort? Even if I leave these two forts and ask you to send people to guard them, Wei Bing We must send troops to capture it, they attack the city much more powerfully than our army, our men will definitely not be able to hold it, so wouldn’t it be a waste of effort for us to send troops to defend the fort?”

She Lun was speechless by Princess Tuzhen's words, so he could only point to Nantian Fort opposite him: "How do you plan to attack this small fort?"

Tuzhen said with a serious face: "This small fort is not easy to build. They are full of thorns and barbed stakes on the hillside. These things are too dense. It is a waste of time to clean them up. And I don't know what to do except Besides these, what else is there on the hillside!"

Ta Wulu suddenly asked: "Daughter, is it possible that we just watch like this and can only watch but not fight?"

She Lun suggested next to him: "If you want me to say that you don't need to worry about this small fort, you can directly dispatch the army from Da'e Mountain and Tunzuo Mountain to Jinling, and defeat the army they deployed in the Jinling camp, which will save a lot of trouble!"

Tuzhen immediately objected emotionally: "No, absolutely not. Only by taking this Nantian Fort can we attack Jinling with peace of mind. If we don't take this small fort, if we rashly attack from Da'e Mountain and Tunzuo Mountain, once the Wei army Send an army from here to the north to block our army's retreat, and we are likely to be surrounded, and it is not impossible for the entire army to be wiped out!"

Ta Wulu suddenly pointed to Nantian Fort and said: "But this small fort is like a hedgehog. We can't use our troops. We can only go up to a dozen people at a time. I'm afraid they will all be shot before they go up. What should I do?"

Chapter 194

Princess Tuzhen carefully observed the deployment of troops and the layout of the archery holes on the Nantian Castle, and waved to a young handsome man, and when he came over, she ordered: "Send a ten-man commander to lead his soldiers to rush up, and let the soldiers go up with one breath. Rush below the castle walls!"

"Yes, princess!" Xiaoshuai agreed, and immediately assigned a group of soldiers to rush to Nantian Castle.

Ten Rouran soldiers jumped off their horses, each holding a small leather shield in their left hand and facing the front with a scimitar in their right hand. They came to the foot of the hill and lined up in a row under the leadership of the ten commander. A path rushes up the hill.

Although the ice and snow on the hillside had been cleared, the only path in the middle was all muddy, and it was impossible for these Rouran soldiers to rush up the hill in one go.

They only rushed for more than ten meters before turning around and running back. The ten commander who rushed first slipped and fell, and the whole person rolled down, knocking down three people in a row, and two of them scraped to the side of the path Among the thorn bushes, the clothes were torn, revealing a bloody mess.

Princess Tuzhen's face was a bit ugly, and she waved her hand and ordered to the handsome guy just now: "Change the team!"

Ten more people were assigned to go out. They jumped off the horse and also held a small leather shield in their left hand to block in front of them, and held a scimitar in their right hand facing the front and slowly climbed up the mountain one by one.

They didn't think that the previous group of people had been running and rushing up, and they couldn't reach the hill at all when the road was slippery. Instead, they could go up the hill step by step.

When they climbed to the middle position, the defenders on Nantian Fort began to react.

Hua Mulan asked a soldier beside her, "Did you see the leading Rouran soldier? Can you shoot him in the thigh?"

The small leather shield held by Rouran is cavalry equipment, and it can only cover most of the upper body. It is quite practical on horseback, but it is too small for infantry cover, and it cannot cover too many parts, at least below the waist It can't be covered at all.

"The distance is a bit far, only [-]% sure!"

Hua Mulan didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, just give it a try!"

The soldier agreed, took an arrow and placed it on the bowstring, aiming at the thigh of Rouran, the leader below, and shot it three seconds later.

With a "whoosh", the arrow hit the target's groin.

"Ah—" the leader Rouran Ten Commander screamed, took two steps back one after another and staggered backwards. The people behind tried to support him, but they couldn't hold him steady. They also pushed him down and fell down. Go away, a few more people were knocked over, and the rest had no choice but to turn around and run back.

In front of the Rouran cavalry formation at the foot of the hill, the wrinkles on Ta Wulu's old face suddenly deepened, and his brows were also squeezed together, "Tuzhen, it seems that you can't do it this way, you can't test the opponent's reality, The opponent only needs one person and one bow to block an army of [-] in front of this hillside!"

Princess Tuzhen's eyebrows were raised: "Any defensive fortress has flaws, it's impossible to be perfect, but we haven't discovered it yet!"

At this time, there was a yelp from behind the cavalry formation: "Moo—"

Princess Tuzhen couldn't help but turn her head to look to the rear. The cattle and sheep they brought with the army appeared behind them, looking for grass in the melting ice and snow.

Princess Tuzhen's eyes lit up, and she immediately ordered: "Come on, bring a cow over here!"

A cavalryman drove a cow to the front of the army formation. Princess Tuzhen stretched out her hand and drew out her saber. With a swish, she drew out her scimitar and slashed forward at the cow's buttocks.

The blood suddenly appeared, and the chopped cow let out a roar in pain, its eyes were red, and it rushed forward frantically with its four hooves spread out.

When Ta Wulu and She Lun saw it, they immediately understood Princess Tuzhen's intention. She wanted to use animals to find the way on the hillside.

Both of them were full of anticipation. If this method was feasible, as long as they drive another twenty or thirty cows, the dense piles and thorns and dense thorns on the hillside will not be completely destroyed.

But what happened next disappointed all the people in Rouran here. After rushing forward for a certain distance, the cow turned at the bottom of the hillside and stopped shortly after, panting heavily. The wound on the hip was still bleeding.

"This... how

Why? Ta Wulu and She Lun looked at each other, both of them were full of doubts, they didn't understand why the cow didn't rush up the hillside after going berserk, but stopped at the foot of the hillside after turning around.

Hua Mulan on the Nantian Castle just saw that the Rouran people wanted to use livestock to destroy the traps, barbs and thorns on the hillside. He was relieved that he didn't rush up the hill because of the pain, and the others secretly put their hearts back in their stomachs.

Princess Tuzhen was quite surprised and astonished when she saw this scene. She frowned, thought for a moment, and ordered again: "Come here, bring another cow!"

Someone next to him did as he said, and brought another cow. This time, Princess Tuzhen ordered someone to bring a red banner, and tie the red banner forward on the back of the cow. Hanging in front of the bull's head, the bull saw a smear of red in front of his eyes, and immediately went mad, spreading his hooves and rushing towards the smear of red.

But the red banner was tied to the back of the ox, no matter how frantically the ox pursued it, it would not be able to hit it. This time the ox kept rushing forward, regardless of what was ahead, and kept rushing towards the hillside. and go.

The dense wooden piles and sharp thorns on the hillside were tripped over, and a large number of thorns were also thrown away by the mad cow. It rushed a third of the hillside and fell into a camouflaged trap pit. The sharp thorn pierced the belly, lying in the pit howling non-stop, and soon dying, and finally died without a sound.

"It turns out that there are traps and pits on the hillside. Fortunately, the warriors were not rushed to explore the way!" She Lun said with lingering fear.

Ta Wulu suddenly said: "It seems that this method is useful! Tuzhen, my daughter, it seems that you can break through Nantian Castle today!"

Princess Tuzhen couldn't deny it, waved her hands and shouted softly: "Come here, bring twenty cows, and tie red banners on their backs according to the way this princess just did!"

Her order was carried out to the letter. Twenty cows were brought to stand side by side, red banners were tied to their backs, and a mace was tied horizontally behind each cow. .

When everything was ready, the soldiers lowered the red banner together, and the banner hung in front of the eyes of the bulls. The bulls rushed forward madly when they saw the red color.

The scene of twenty cows running wildly showed the momentum of thousands of horses and horses, the ground was trembling faintly, the hooves of the cows kicked on the ground, a puddle of snow and mud splashed everywhere, and grass clippings flew wildly.

These frenzied cattle rushed up the hillside, they went forward without fear, without cowardice, only violent, they knocked down many stakes and spikes, dragging the mace like a plow, all the stakes and spikes passing along the way

The Ministry moved and scraped away the thorns.

"Boom boom boom..." A frantic cow fell into the trap one after another. They destroyed the small trap and filled the big trap.

Seeing this scene, Tuzhen smiled and waved: "Twenty more cows!"

Hua Mulan on the Nantian Castle saw this scene, her eyes showed sadness, she did not expect that the defensive belt she had spent nearly a month carefully arranged was destroyed by the Rouran people in this way.

Hua Mulan took a deep breath, she knew that she could not show decadent emotions, as this might affect the soldiers and soldiers under her command.
