my wife is mulan

Hua Mulan turned her head to look at Zhao Junsheng, seeing that his expression was different, she hurriedly asked, "Brother Junsheng, what did you think of?"

Zhao Junsheng took a deep breath and said, "I'm worried that they are building a curb. If so, we will be in big trouble!"

"Well curb? What is this?" Hua Mulan asked curiously.

Zhao Junsheng explained: “The well fence is a kind of well-shaped siege equipment made of wood. It has a wide bottom and is equipped with wheels and can be moved; Soldiers are generally built higher than the city wall, and the archers who are attacking the city can stand on it and condescend to suppress the defenders from a distance. If they push it close to the city wall, the siege soldiers at the top can use wooden bridges to build it Stepping on the wooden bridge on the city wall, rushing up to the city wall to grab the top of the city, fortunately there is a hillside here, they don't want to push the well fence up the hillside, otherwise this Nantian Fortress will be in danger!"

After listening to Zhao Junsheng's introduction, Hua Mulan also realized the seriousness of the problem. Even if the Rouran people couldn't push the well fence under the city wall, they could still use the well fence to put pressure on the city wall remotely. The casualties of army soldiers will definitely increase.

"Brother Junsheng, what should I do? Is there no way to counter them?" Hua Mulan's voice was a little anxious.

"I can't think of a good way for the time being. The best way to deal with the well curb is to destroy it, but in this way you need to go out of the city, but that is basically a narrow escape!"

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he saw that Hua Mulan was very anxious, and comforted her, saying: "You don't have to worry too much, you can always figure out a way, they haven't been built yet, maybe when they are built, we will also think about it." There is a way!"

After hearing what Zhao Junsheng said, Hua Mulan could only comfort herself in her heart.

The Rouran people stop and stop, stop and stop, even if they stop, the interval between them will not exceed an hour. In short, they just don't stop. By dusk, Zhao Junsheng was completely sure that the Rouran people were indeed feinting.

"They're trying to restrain the defenders of Nantianbao!" Zhao Junsheng underestimated in his heart, and thought to himself: "Princess Tuzhen, I hope you don't let me down!"

After the Rouran people withdrew their troops, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan commanded the soldiers to carry the wounded and dead comrades down the city wall, and tidy up the messy arrows, weapons and defense equipment.

Not long after dinner, the sky darkened, and it was already getting a little cold at night.

The soldiers on duty on the city wall were all wrapped in a blanket and lying side by side to sleep. Some of them couldn't sleep at first, chatting while looking at the stars and moon in the sky.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan patrolled the city wall, arranged emergency warning and defense plans at night, and then returned to the room on the tower to rest.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, and a voice came from outside the door: "Du Tong, my subordinate Xue An has something to report!"

Zhao Junsheng heard it and said to Hua Mulan, "I'll go out for a while!"

"Ok!"

Zhao Junsheng walked out of the room, and the two came to a secluded place. Zhao Junsheng asked, "What's the matter?"

Xue An beckoned to the side, and a soldier came over and bowed to Zhao Junsheng: "Du Tong, Captain Cao sent a villain to report to Du Tong. In the afternoon, the Jinling Camp received a message that Da'e Mountain was captured. Princess Rouran Tuzhen led the army to break through. Only a dozen soldiers escaped. One of them ran non-stop and killed three horses before running back to the Jinling camp to report the news. Now the entire Jinling camp is in panic. Gu Bi, the supervisor of the army, has sent someone to ask for help from the imperial court, and at the same time ask King Yongchang to prepare his army for war!"

Zhao Junsheng's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Princess Tuzhen really did something on Da'e Mountain!"

The soldier who reported the letter asked again: "Du Tong, Captain Cao asked the villain to ask Du Tong, if the Rouran army attacks the Jinling camp, what will he do, please give me your instructions!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a moment, and said to the two, "Go, go down the mountain to the camp!"

The three of them soon came to the camp at the foot of the mountain. Zhao Junsheng went to the desk in the tent, spread out a blank sheet of paper, picked up a brush and meditated.

Seeing this, Guo Yi immediately stepped forward to grind the ink.

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, dipped his pen in ink, and quickly wrote a letter. After finishing writing, he pretended to hand it over to the courier and explained: "You rush back overnight and give this letter to Cao Jiao, and let him use secret words to decipher it." , act according to the above! Immediately take everyone to withdraw to Nantianbao after finishing!"

Chapter 316 The Unlucky Rouran Archer

After seeing off the messenger, Zhao Junsheng turned around and saw that Xue An was still there, and said to him: "After breakfast tomorrow, your first battalion will take over the defense of the city, and the day after tomorrow Gao Xiu's second battalion will take over. They will be on duty in turn. You go Organize the entire battalion into five echelons, and each echelon will take turns going up the city wall to be on duty for two hours!"

"Obey!" Xue An put his fists together and turned to leave. √

Zhao Junsheng stood there pondering for a long time, and finally made up his mind. His expression became firm, and the killing intent in his eyes became stronger. He took a deep breath, "Old Lu, I'm afraid I'll trouble you to run to the Jinling Camp!"

Lu Xuanbo raised his sword and cupped his fists, and slowly backed away into the darkness.

When Zhao Junsheng returned to the room in the tower, Hua Mulan opened her eyes and asked, "Brother Junsheng is back, let's rest earlier!"

Zhao Junsheng went to the stool and sat down, picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water, and said to Hua Mulan after drinking, "Mulan, I just received the news that Da'e Mountain was breached by the Rouran army. On the way to the Jinling camp!"

Hua Mulan lifted the blanket and got up to sit up. Her face changed slightly, and she calculated in her heart that it was two days' journey from Da'e Mountain to Jinling Camp. Attack.

"Come on, call Mona Lujin and Wu Luolanqi!"

A moment later, Mona Lujin and Wu Luolanqi rushed over together.

As soon as Monaloujin entered the door, he said, "I didn't see Rouran attacking at night. I don't know why General Hua asked me to come here so late."

Zhao Junsheng greeted: "Two generals, I just received the news that Da'e Mountain has been breached by the Rouran army before noon today. At this moment, the Rouran army should be on the way to attack the Jinling camp!"

The faces of the two of them changed drastically, and Wu Luolanqi frowned: "What's the matter? It was fine two days ago. Didn't it mean that the Rouran army opposite us came from Da'e Mountain? The right guard just came from Da'e Mountain. The mountain was withdrawn, how come Da'e Mountain was breached in the blink of an eye?"

Hua Mulan said: "The specific situation is unknown, but it is a fact that Da'e Mountain was breached. This news cannot be false!"

Monalou Jin looked at Zhao Junsheng, then at Hua Mulan, with doubts on his face: "How did General Hua get the news? Why didn't I receive the news while we were waiting?"

Hua Mulan's complexion changed slightly, and she said coldly: "Don't worry about how this general got the news, do you think Jinling Camp will take the initiative to inform us of such a big incident? Aren't they afraid that Nantianbao's army will be shaken? "

Mona Loujin and Wu Luolanqi were silent. Hua Mulan's words were not unreasonable. If such a big incident happened, the Jinling Camp would definitely be worried that the defenders of Nantianbao and Tunzuo Mountain would be shaken by the news. There will be fēng suo xiāo interest in ten times.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

After a long time, Hua Mulan looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, now we will work together to deal with the current predicament. I will tell you this news, but I don't want you to be kept in the dark, so that you will not resent me in the future. Now The situation in our Nantianbao is worrying, there are tens of thousands of Rouran troops attacking outside, and the lair behind is in danger of being taken away, how to deal with this predicament is the biggest thing!"

Wu Luolanqi was a little flustered, he said: "Da'e Mountain has been breached, Rouran's army is most likely to go straight to the Jinling Camp, but it is not impossible for them to attack Tunzuo Mountain and our Nantian Fort. Nantianbao may face a double attack at any moment! I suggest withdrawing immediately, Monalujin, what do you think?"

Monalu Jin was surprised: "Withdraw? Where to withdraw?"

"Withdraw to..." Wuluolanqi couldn't think of where to withdraw for a while, he immediately thought of Shanwu County, where there is a natural danger of killing tigers, and said immediately: "Withdraw to Shanwu County, as long as you stay It's safe to kill the tiger's mouth!"

With a sound of "touch", Hua Mulan slapped the desk fiercely, her eyes filled with evil spirits: "Enough! Before you see the shadow of the enemy, you all discuss to withdraw. Usually, everyone is in a hurry. Why is it at a critical moment?" Are you all cowardly?"

Wu Luolanqi's face turned red, and he argued: "General Hua, if you fight Rouran head-on,

If I, Wu Luolanqi, frowned, I would be your grandson, but the situation is different now, the enemy is about to stab him from behind, so where do I have the heart to fight to the death with Rouran who is opposite? "

At this time, Monalujin said: "Based on the current situation, we can withdraw. If we wait for Rouran's army to get behind us, we will not be able to leave if we want to; but if we want to retreat, we must have a military order from above. After the retreat, we will pursue the investigation, I am afraid that this head will not be saved, this matter is indeed a bit difficult to make a decision! General Hua, why don't you send someone to ask General Pi in Tunzuo Mountain for instructions?"

Of course Hua Mulan knew what the two of them were thinking. Although Mona Louji said it tactfully, he wanted to run away, but he was always in charge, and he could not take the initiative to bring up the withdrawal matter, nor could he make a decision. He was held accountable afterwards. But she couldn't afford it, so Hua Mulan sent someone to ask Leather Leopard for instructions. Even if there was anything, it was Hua Mulan's business and had nothing to do with him.

Hua Mulan sneered in her heart, and said solemnly: "I have made up my mind. Until I receive the military order from General Pi, I will stick to Nantian Fort! Anyone who makes false claims to retreat, spreads news to the soldiers, and shakes the morale of the army will be killed without mercy!"

Wu Luolanqi was about to stand up and argue with Hua Mulan, but was held down by Mona Loujin, struggled a few times and couldn't move, so he had to give up and endured.

Hua Mulan's gaze swept over the faces of the two of them, landed on Zhao Junsheng's face, and ordered: "Zhao Dutong, dispatch 200 people from your subordinates to maintain order in the camp, clean up military discipline, and strictly prevent anyone from spreading rumors to shake the morale of the army and run away. , Once caught, executed on the spot!"

Zhao Junsheng found out and clasped his fists in response: "Obey!"

Hua Mulan gave another order: "Huahai, select one of your men to set up guards on the main roads and high places ten miles south of Nantianbao, and arrange several cavalry patrols to guard against enemy scouts and cavalry spies. And careful work, but also prevent deserters!"

Huahai walked in and clasped his fists in agreement: "Obey!"

Early the next morning, the first echelon of Xue Andu's first battalion took over the defense of the city, and 600 recruits were incorporated into it. Using the method of veterans leading new recruits, one area at a time, this method can allow new recruits to be recruited in the shortest possible time.
