my wife is mulan

The chills in everyone's hearts were overwhelming. Now the Jinling camp is empty, and the only thing that can be used is Zhao Junsheng's three battalions. But these people are infantry. If there are not many cavalry in Rouran, they can fight, but If there were a large number of Rouran cavalry, Zhao Junsheng's [-] heavy soldiers would not be effective.

An Yuan stabilized his mind and asked in a deep voice: "What are you preparing for? How do you prepare?"

"Either retreat, or defend the camp, and then send a fast horse to ask the imperial court for reinforcements, there is no other way!"

Gu Bi, the supervisor and censor, shouted: "You bastard, Jinling is right behind you. If we leave, how will we face the spirits of past emperors? We can't leave anyway. Even if we die, we must die here! Let's talk about it!" , Even if I withdraw, can I live? Can Your Majesty and the court princes spare me?"

Zhao Junsheng said in his heart, you are the loyal ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but I am not, the past emperors have nothing to do with me?

The other generals and officials were not as stubborn as Gu Bi, and someone said loudly: "Gu Bi, I think you are fucking mad because you want to make meritorious service, and you don't need to make fun of your own life if you want to show your loyalty to the emperor, right? How can the Jinling Camp be able to stop Rouran's iron cavalry with only a few logs of wood for the wall? I'm afraid it will be breached in less than a day, and we will all die by then! As the saying goes, a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, so what's the use of being brave now , you will still be a dead body by then? Even if the emperor confers on you no matter how high the official position and wealth, you will not be able to enjoy it!"

Someone else said: "That's right, if the green hills are left, I'm not afraid of running out of firewood! Marshal, I'll retreat to Jinling Mountain to guard the key mountain road, and then send people to rescue the soldiers. The Rouran people can't do anything about us for the time being. Isn't that what we did last time?"

"Okay, it turns out that the last time the Rouran people came in and you retreated to Jinling Mountain, the court didn't know about it, so it was you who concealed the news!" Gu Bi angrily pointed at the generals and officials present and accused them loudly.

An Yuan's heart sank, if this matter was brought to the imperial court, he might be overwhelmed and walk around, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!For the current plan, we can only stick to the Jinling camp, and then send people to rescue the soldiers.

An Yuan looked at Zhao Junsheng and asked, "Zhao Dutong, can your 3000 troops stop the invading enemy?"

Zhao Junsheng clasped his fists and replied: "Commander, the 3000 low-level soldiers are just heavy soldiers. It is already very difficult to be responsible for guarding and patrolling the Jinling Camp. I can guarantee that once the order to guard the Jinling camp is passed on, the soldiers will run away soon!"

An Yuan's heart sank again, he had never felt so helpless, a commander had fallen to the point where he had no soldiers to use, and now the only military strength left in the Jinling Camp was Zhao Junsheng's [-] soldiers. But he can only order them to escort the luggage and be responsible for guarding. He has no right to let them participate in the battle. He can force Zhao Junsheng to accept the order by force, but once Zhao Junsheng is out of his control, will the three thousand luggage soldiers turn against each other? ?Letting the heavy soldiers participate in the battle, after all, is not a good name and a bad word!

Shi Gubi, the supervisor and censor, stomped his feet anxiously and shouted: "Zhao Dutong, the Rouran people's knives are about to reach their necks, and you are still pushing back. You think that if your supply battalion does not participate in the war, Rouran will let it go." You guys? You must have been through it too, don’t you know the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and there are no eggs under the cover of the nest? We are now grasshoppers on a rope!”

Zhao Junsheng was unmoved, "Don't you think that humble officials are greedy for life and afraid of death? Or do you want to sit on the ground to raise prices and preserve strength? Everyone knows that the supply camp is not responsible for the war, even if the humble officials ordered them to fight the Rouran people, they would not I will definitely listen, holding low salaries, eating the worst food, not having enough to eat, not warm enough to wear, are they willing to fight with the Rouran people for these? If it were you, would you do it? If the order of Rouran is questioned, who else will be able to command them? At that time, these people will turn against each other, and if the Rouran people do not attack, I will be chopped into meat by them!"

Everyone was chilled by Zhao Junsheng's words.

An Yuan yelled at this moment: "Come here, take out all the belongings in this commander's account!"

Some personal soldiers walked into the commander's tent, and quickly brought out boxes of gold, silver and jewelry and placed them in front of Zhao Junsheng.

"Zhao Dutong, it is true that the supply battalion has no obligation to fight for the imperial court, but this commander has rewarded the supply battalion to send troops. Now you have the name of sending troops, right?"

Zhao Junsheng is really a rare commodity now. Apart from his [-] heavy soldiers, the Jinling Camp has no other military force, and the remaining [-] wounded soldiers are useless at all. He has become a favorite now.

Zhao Junsheng also knew that it was impossible for him to refuse to send troops. Gu Bi was right, his lips were dead and his teeth were cold. If the Rouran people broke through the Jinling camp, he and his [-] supply camp would not be able to escape. They are all cavalry. How could these infantry outrun the cavalry?They will be hunted down and wiped out soon.

Zhao Junsheng took a deep breath, clasped his fists at An Yuan, and said, "Okay, since the commander is willing to reward the soldiers with riches, I will try my best to persuade the soldiers to stick to the Jinling camp! Please send someone to send these treasures to the luggage In the camp, only by letting the soldiers see the treasure, can the humble rank be sure!"

An Yuan nodded, waved to the soldiers

With a wave of their hands, the soldiers immediately carried the goods onto carriages and transported them to the supply camp.

Zhao Junsheng clasped his fists at An Yuan and the others, immediately turned around and got on his horse, and galloped away outside.

When Zhao Junsheng rushed back to the camp with Li Bao and others, the sky had already turned white, and 3000 people were still on standby on the school grounds.

"Du Tong!" Gao Xiu and the others greeted Zhao Junsheng who had jumped off his horse and was walking up to the military platform.

Zhao Junsheng nodded and said to everyone: "It has been decided that we must defend the Jinling Camp, even if we don't defend, our two legs will definitely not be able to outrun the Rouran cavalry's four legs, and we will be overtaken in less than an hour. So, we have to fight this battle!"

Gao Xiu and the others clasped their fists in unison: "We will obey the orders of the capital!"

Zhao Junsheng faced the 3000 people in the audience and said loudly: "Brothers, the Rouran people have come to kill us, and they are less than ten miles away from us. Now the Jinling camp is only capable of fighting with our supply camp. If we don't fight the Rouran people , the Jinling camp is over. We can run, but we only have two legs, and the Rouran cavalry will catch up and strangle us soon, so we have to fight with the Rouran people! If you don’t fight, you will die, fight, and There is a chance of survival! Marshal Xingyuan has issued a heavy reward, one thousand gold for killing a Rouran soldier, one gold for killing a Rouran young commander, and one hundred gold for killing a general! Regardless of life or death after the war, as long as there is meritorious service, everyone will be rewarded. Send the rewards a lot, even if you die, I will arrange someone to send them back to your family members!"

At this time, the people sent by Anyuan had already shipped the goods, and boxes of gold and silver treasures were moved down and placed on the side of the school grounds. No one in the school grounds doubted that Zhao Junsheng would not fulfill his promise.

"Is breakfast ready?" Zhao Junsheng asked Pei Jin.

Pei Jin cupped his hands and replied, "It will take another quarter of an hour!"

"Don't wait! Now I order: Gao Xiu, Gao Xu, and Xue An each lead their teams out of the camp and set up a golden lock array in a wide area two miles north of the camp! Pei Jin, wait for the food to be ready, let the cooks Immediately transport it in a carriage to let the brothers have enough to eat, and then fight hard with the Rouran people!"

Chapter 296 The Arrogant Rouran General Morton

"Ha, hey, ha!" Hua Mulan practiced saber technique in the open space of the barracks under Nantiangang, every move was powerful, and she shouted from time to time.

Hua Hai came galloping on a horse, "L--" he reined in his horse and shouted as he dismounted: "Master, something is wrong, our patrol team was twenty miles to the west just now. A large number of horseshoe prints and horse dung were found at the foot of the mountain, and a small road seems to have just been opened up across the mountain to the north of the mountain, and the direction of the horseshoe prints leads all the way to Jinling camp!"

Hua Mulan stopped at this moment, and her face changed greatly when she heard it: "You mean that a Rouran cavalry team opened a small road from the north of the mountain to the south of the mountain and went straight to the Jinling camp? No, I sent the luggage yesterday. The owner of the supply battalion who came said that the thousands of cavalry of King Yongchang had been transferred to Daye Mountain for garrison, and now only the [-] supply troops of brother Junsheng were left in the Jinling camp!"

Hua Hai's face turned pale immediately: "So, wouldn't my uncle and the others be in danger? What should I do?"

Hua Mulan made a decisive decision: "I'll go to Monaloujin to borrow a horse, and you go and send an order to let the brothers prepare horses, weapons, bows and arrows, and prepare to set out to rescue the Jinling camp!"

"Yes!"

Hua Mulan quickly came to Monalujin's camp, saw that he was having breakfast, and immediately said, "Monalujin, the patrol team has just received news that they found an unknown number of Rouran cavalry crossing the [-]th to the west. The mountains are heading towards the Jinling camp!"

With a sound of "bang dang", the meat-cutting knife in Monaloujin's hand hung on the dinner plate and made a clear sound, and he suddenly got up: "There is trouble now, the Jinling camp is empty, only Brother Zhao's three thousand heavy soldiers, If the enemy's cavalry is not many, they can block it, but if the enemy's army is large, they may not be able to defend the Jinling camp!"

Hua Mulan looked serious, and said: "Our patrol team goes every two hours. This unknown number of Rouran cavalry should have come over the mountains when our patrol team returned around Zhoushi. When they arrived at the Jinling Camp, they must let The horses maintain enough strength, so their marching speed cannot be too fast, I guess they should have just arrived near the Jinling camp at this time, we must go to the rescue!"

Monalu Jin thought for a while and nodded: "Since we know the news, we should indeed go to the rescue, but how many soldiers and horses should we send? If we send too many, the defense here will be insufficient, and if we send less, it will not be of much use! "

Hua Mulan said: "Well, I will take my second building to rescue the Jinling camp. In order to arrive as soon as possible, lend us your horses. You two battalions stay behind. You can hold on for a few more days, how do you feel?"

"...I agree, but our task is to stick to Nantian Fort. If there is no order from the higher-ups to act without authorization, if something happens to Nantian Fort afterwards, if the higher-ups pursue it, no one will be able to bear the responsibility!"

When Hua Mulan remembered that Zhao Junsheng was still in the Jinling camp, she was very anxious. Although she had seen Zhao Junsheng set up a golden lock array to fight against the cavalry of the right guard, it was only a confrontational drill after all, not a real sword and gun. , If we really want to fight, we still don't know what the result will be.

Thinking of this, Hua Mulan gritted her teeth and said, "I will send someone to report the military situation to General Pi. As long as there is no accident in Nantianbao, the higher-ups should not pursue it. If someone really needs to be held accountable, I will do my best. The landlord has nothing to do with it!"

Mona Luojin felt deeply guilty when he heard Hua Mulan's words, his blood rushed to the top of his head, and he blurted out: "What are you talking about? If the higher-ups pursue it, I will bear it with you! Someone, pass on my order, and put Our horses are loaned to the second building!"

"Thank you!" Hua Mulan cupped her fists and turned to leave.

Outside the Jinling camp.

The soldiers have already formed a hexagram pattern on the open space two miles north of the camp. This is the improved door golden lock formation. The formation has more changes and can deal with more emergencies. Even if the enemy general is familiar with the formation and knows to enter from the Shengmen in the southeast direction, if he wants to pass through the formation and go out from the Zhengxi Jingmen, he must pass the level of the central commander.

The soldiers sat cross-legged on the grass and devoured their meals. Zhao Junsheng, Gao Xiu, Gao Xu, Xue Andu and others were also eating with the soldiers.

The grooms and coachmen parked the carriages one by one in the big formation wài wéi, one after another closely connected, leaving only the entrances of the big formation empty.

The soldiers who had finished eating moved bundles of arrows, ropes and shields from the carriage under the command of the officers. The soldiers who did not have shields were all assigned to a shield, and all the arrows were moved to the center of the formation There are more than a thousand archers in the three battalions, and it is rare to have such a large proportion in an army.

"Dutong, the Rouran people are here!" A sentry shouted overhead.

Although the temporary platform in the middle of the formation is crude, it is supported by logs and paved with wooden boards. There are watchtowers and arrow towers in the middle of the platform, which will serve as Zhao Junsheng's podium and the center of the formation.

Hearing the shout, Zhao Junsheng stood up and looked to the north. He could see smoke and dust rising into the sky several miles away, and he could vaguely see the dark triangular flags with patterns of Rouran's army.

"Come here, order the grooms and coachmen to leave quickly, so that the soldiers can eat faster!"

Following Zhao Junsheng's order, the horsemen and coachmen quickly withdrew to the camp, and the soldiers ate at a much faster speed.
