my wife is mulan

Zhao Junsheng, Mona Loujin, and Wu Luolanqi looked at each other, and couldn't believe that Pi Leopard, the chief general of the first army, would end up in such a mess.

The three of them stepped forward side by side, clasped their fists and bowed in salute: "The lowly ranks pay respects to General Pi!"

Pi Baozi gnawed on the steamed cake, took a sip of water, looked up at Zhao Junsheng and the three of them, and quickly raised his hand to shake it, making a sound of "Woo, um, huh!".

The three of Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to step aside and wait for the leather leopard to finish eating.

Building General Hegan Moyun, who escaped with Leather Leopard, told Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng the whole story while eating steamed cakes.

"Last night, when the soldiers were preparing to have dinner, a Rouran cavalry suddenly came from behind the pass. I didn't expect the enemy to come from behind. I was completely unprepared. At that time, the fortress on Tunzuo Mountain There was only one army on the city wall, and the rest were preparing to eat in the camp at the foot of the mountain. They were caught off guard by the Rouran cavalry, and the soldiers didn't even have the ability to resist... I and a few soldiers protected our skins The general planned to break through, but there were too many cavalry in Rouran, so we had to hide in the haystacks for feeding animals. The people in Rouran were very vigilant, with dense sentries and frequent patrols. I stole a few horses and sneaked out while the sentry was taking a nap. They were discovered by the Rouran people after a short walk. They sent a large number of fast horses to chase after them. I waited for them to hide before I got rid of them. I ran in the wrong direction, and when I found it, I was already near Nantianbao!"

After hearing this, Hua Mulan, Zhao Junsheng, Mona Loujin, Wu Luolanqi and others all understood what was going on. Rouran's army did not rush directly to the Jinling camp, but grabbed the leopard's back butt first.

"Only Princess Tuzhen is so cunning!" Zhao Junsheng murmured, looking at Hua Mulan.

Hua Mulan also happened to look over, and both of them knew in their hearts that this must be the real masterpiece of Princess Rouran.

The leather leopard had also finished eating at this time, poured down a bowl of water, burped, and said to the crowd: "I'm afraid the Rouran army is already rushing towards the Jinling camp! General Hua Zhuang, send your horse to Jinling immediately! Report to the camp and let them prepare to meet the enemy, so as not to be caught off guard!"

Hua Mulan clasped her fists and said, "Don't worry, general, Rouran's army first broke through Da'e Mountain. The Jinling Camp received the news last night, and they probably didn't know that Tunzuo Mountain was also broken by Rouran's army!"

"Oh?" Leather Leopard was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Then it's all the more important to send someone to report to the Jinling Camp!"

"This..." Hua Mulan was a little embarrassed.

Seeing the perplexed look on Hua Mulan's face, Leather Leopard couldn't help frowning: "What's going on?"

Zhao Junsheng stood up and clasped his fists at this moment and said, "General, the news that Rouran's army broke through Da'e Mountain was not sent by the Marshal Xingyuan of the Jinling Camp to report, but the humble soldiers who stayed in the Jinling Camp heard the news overnight. Send a quick horse over to tell the lowly officials that the Supervising Army and King Yongchang have blocked the news from us. Therefore, if you want to report the movement of the Rouran army to the Jinling Camp, you have to ask the general to send his own people, otherwise we will not be able to explain the news source!"

Pi Baozi noticed a detail at this time, Zhao Junsheng didn't mention Marshal An Yuan, he frowned and said, "Where is Marshal An?"

"This..." Zhao Junsheng hesitated for a moment, "Marshal An was deprived of his command by the supervising army.

It's not easy to talk about low-ranking as a party, the general will know in the future! "

After hearing this, Leather Leopard knew that this matter might become a big mess, otherwise An Yuan would not be deprived of command. He looked at Hua Mulan, who had sent someone to report to him that a Rouran army had raided the Jinling Army Battalion, and led the army to reinforce, she should know the news, so she asked: "Hua Mulan, tell me!"

Hua Mulan had no choice but to briefly explain what had happened.

After hearing this, Leopard looked at Zhao Junsheng, stood up and said, "Let's hurry back to the Jinling Camp, hoping to be ahead of Rouran's army, otherwise we will be in big trouble!"

Monalu Jin hurriedly stopped him: "Wait a minute, general, the situation of the Jinling camp is still unknown, maybe Rouran's army has already arrived at the Jinling camp and launched an attack. If so, wouldn't it be a trap for you to go back now? "

Wuluo Lanqi also said: "Yes, General, you should stay here. It's not too late for you to make a decision after we send people to inquire about the specific news of the Jinling Camp!"

Under the persuasion of his two subordinate generals, Pi Baozi changed his mind, and he told Hegan Moyun: "Send someone to Jinling camp to report the news, ask General Hua to borrow some fast horses, go back quickly!"

"Yes, General!"

At this time, an alarm bell came from the direction of the fortress: "Dangdangdang..."

The faces of Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and others changed, and Hua Mulan immediately said to Leather Leopard: "General, the Rouran people on the opposite side have attacked, and I will go to defend in the camp. Please rest in the camp, and wait until the general beats Rouran back." Then the army will attack and report the battle situation to the general!"

Chapter 318 Mulan's Means

"As the general of the garrison, how can I sit in the camp and ask you to defend against the enemy? Let's go, the general will also go up to the city wall to have a look!" Leather Leopard finished speaking and walked out of the tent holding the hilt of his sword.

Hua Mulan and the others looked at each other, as long as they let them go up the city wall, they followed behind one by one.

When everyone came to the city wall, they found that Rouran soldiers were driving a large number of slaves to climb up the hillside. The high platform at the foot of the mountain was erected again, this time it was built very firmly, and there were dozens of Rouran archers standing on the high platform. People are constantly shooting arrows at the city wall.

The guards on the city wall were suppressed. The sword and shield soldiers used their shields to block the front, the spearmen hid behind the sword and shield soldiers, and the archers hid behind the parapets. The others could not stand on the city wall at all. Being exposed to the opponent's bow and arrow range is easy to be shot.

As soon as Leather Leopard climbed onto the city wall, an arrow was shot at his face. He immediately drew his sword and knocked the arrow away, and walked forward a few steps. Arrows kept shooting at the city wall. After shooting three arrows, soldiers came running from behind and blocked him with shields.

The leather leopard hid behind the shield and shouted: "Hua Mulan, with Rouran's shooting skills, the soldiers don't dare to show their heads at all, how can they defend?"

Hua Mulan waved her long sword to fend off incoming arrows, and said loudly, "Don't worry, general, we already have a way to deal with their arrows, and the artisans are currently building defensive tools!"

After finishing speaking, Hua Mulan yelled to Zhao Junsheng who was beside him: "Zhao Dutong, how did the craftsmen make the door panels?"

"I'll ask them to carry the finished door panels up first!" Zhao Junsheng replied, while retreating towards the stairs, he swung his knife and hacked at the incoming arrows, retreated to the stairs and shouted under the city wall: "Pei Jin, let The handymen first go to the artisan team to lift up the finished door panels!"

"Yes, Dutong!" Pei Jin under the city wall agreed, and immediately ran to the craftsman team station with some miscellaneous soldiers.

It didn't take long for the door panels to be carried on the city wall by the miscellaneous soldiers. When they got on the city wall, they turned their backs to the north and retreated towards the female wall.

"Dong dong dong..." Arrows shot at the door.

The door panels are erected on the edge of the parapet wall, and the arrows that are shot are blocked by the door panels. The one-foot-high door panels are enough to block the vision of the soft archers on the high platform outside. As the door panels are erected Under the female wall, the high door panels blocked the body of the defenders, and the Rouran archers on the high platform outside could not see the defenders behind the door panels at all, and all their arrows were blocked.

There are some gaps between the two door panels, allowing the defenders to stick their heads out to check the enemy under the city wall. When the enemy erects the siege ladder on the city wall, the defender's spearmen will immediately stretch out their spears to pry the attackers. The city ladder, push down the siege ladder, the slaves and Rouran soldiers on the siege ladder screamed and fell down one by one, and the Rouran soldiers and slaves underneath were either killed or injured.

Even if slaves and Rouran soldiers climbed up the city wall, they were blocked by door panels. They wanted to get in through the gaps in the door panels, but they were attacked by spears and knives instead of being stabbed to death by spears. He was hacked to death with a long knife.

As the orderly soldiers continued to bring up the finished door panels, the entire city wall and fortress were blocked by door panels. The Rouran archers on the high platform could not shoot at the defenders at all, and the narrow gap between the door panels It was not so easy to shoot in. A large number of arrows were shot on the door panels, and each door panel was densely packed with arrows.

In front of the Rouran army at the foot of the mountain, the commander-in-chief Da Na sat on his horse and watched the scene, and couldn't help but cursed: "Who the hell came up with such a crazy idea to block my son's attack and arrows with a door panel?" ?”

A handsome young man rode over and reported to Da Na with a bitter face: "Commander, the sons and slaves can't attack. You see, they use a ten-foot-high door panel to block the female wall, and the sons will be able to climb up." The walls of the city walls can still be blocked by the door panels, but they can shoot arrows at us, and they can also attack us with swords and spears, and the sons and daughters have suffered heavy casualties!"

Da Na's face was gloomy, his eyes rolled, and he ordered: "Come here, equip the archers on the high platform with rockets, and shoot those door panels and burn them. I see what else they can do!"

"Yes, handsome!"

Bundles of rockets were hoisted onto the high platform, and the Rouran archers ignited the arrows with oilcloth strips tied to the arrows, and shot them at the door panel. The rockets were nailed to the door panel and burned.

At the beginning, the defenders were quite worried that the door panels would be burned, but they were relieved when they found that the rockets had failed to burn the door panels. It turned out that the wood used for these door panels was freshly felled trees. Got it?

However, the Rouran soldiers and slaves who were attacking under the city wall could not get the support of long-range archers, and the siege ladders were always knocked down. Spears are impossible to dodge at all.

A Rouran soldier climbed up the battlements and stabbed with a spear. He immediately hid behind the door panel, but the hand holding the side of the door panel was exposed to the attack range. After being cut off, the whole person also fell to the city wall, smashing down a slave who was climbing the siege ladder, and the two knocked over several people.

This scene was staged everywhere on the city wall, and the Rouran soldiers couldn't climb the city wall at all, but suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing this scene, Leather Leopard felt at ease, and turned to Hua Mulan and said, "With you in charge, I will feel at ease! I will go to the tower to rest for a while, and report if I have something to do!"

"Yes, General!"

Rouran, who was in charge of the on-site command, saw that the rocket did not work, so he had to go back to the army and report to Da Na: "Commander, the rocket didn't work, it failed to burn their door panels, our bows and arrows couldn't hit them, but But they can hide behind the door and shoot arrows at the men on the high platform, the casualties are too great! The final general asks that the besiegers be withdrawn first, and then attack when they think of a way to destroy their defense!"

Da Na was also very annoyed. He thought he had thought of a good solution, but he didn't expect that it would not work, so he had no choice but to agree: "Okay, send an order to withdraw the troops for now!"

After a horn sounded, the Rouran soldiers and slaves retreated one after another.

Today's defense of the city is relatively easy, and the soldiers didn't make much effort, but the Rouran people suffered a lot.

Hua Mulan immediately ordered: "Come here, take down all the arrows on the door panel, Rouran sent us arrows, we must appreciate it, and accept them all!"
