my wife is mulan

Zhao Junsheng said: "I counted here. There are 170 pots. When the two are multiplied together, there are 32 pots in total. One pot can cook a meal for one tooth. One tooth of Rouran Army has 400 people like us. So Calculated, the number of troops in the camp is more than 500, and it should be less than [-]!"

Hua Mulan's eyes lit up when she heard this. It turned out that this method was used to check the number of enemy troops. She asked excitedly, "Can we determine their number with this method?"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "Of course not. This is not enough to determine the exact number of their troops. Two other proofs are needed!"

Hua Mulan has a strong thirst for knowledge, so she hurriedly said, "Brother Junsheng, tell me!"

"The number of tents and the number of banners!" Zhao Junsheng paused after speaking, looked around and found no one coming, so he explained in a low voice: "Just now we circled more than half a circle, I counted, and there are 22 horizontal tents , there are 35 vertical tents, and a total of 770 tents! Excluding the tents of the commander, the general’s tent, the junior commander, and the Yazhu’s separate tents, there are about 530 tents for ordinary soldiers to sleep in. One tent can accommodate ten people. The number of troops that can be supplied by the amount of cooking pot is roughly the same; in addition, the number of flags must be determined. Rouran people learn from our Wei army's weaving, one tooth and one flag! I counted just now, a total of 160 poles, and the strength is 370. ! The number of troops should be roughly equal to the actual number of troops, even if there is a difference, it will not differ too much, and now it can basically be determined!"

Hua Mulan took a deep breath, and finally felt relieved. She asked again: "Do I have to provide evidence in these three aspects at the same time? Do I have to sneak into the enemy camp? It's too dangerous, and the scouts are far away. You can count the number of their tents and banners from a little higher!"

Zhao Junsheng asked back: "The number of tents and flags can be false. Some tents are empty. If you don't observe closely, how will you know? If you don't observe closely, how will you know the specific number of stoves? The enemy general If you order to deliberately increase or decrease the number of tents and flags, the scouts will be deceived if they don’t observe closely!”

It was only then that Hua Mulan realized that there was so much knowledge here, she thought for a while and asked, "Brother Junsheng, you never served in the army before, why do you know so much?"

"Your dead future father-in-law used to be a scout captain!"

Hua Mulan remembered, "I heard my grandfather also mentioned that Uncle Zhao was a well-known scout leader in the army when he was young, and he was very capable!"

"Since it has been confirmed that the strength of the Rouran people has been reduced by half, our mission for this trip has been completed, so go back and report to General Pi!"

"Ok!"

The two returned along the same road, dodging Rouran's patrol team in a very dangerous way, and finally returned to Nantian Castle in the early morning, and the two climbed up the city wall holding the rope.

Leather Leopard walked over quickly and said, "You two are finally back, are you okay?"

"No, thank you, General, for your concern! I have found out that the Rouran Army is indeed missing half, and the strength of their battalion is between 300 and 400!" Hua Mulan reported.

Leopard's face turned murderous, "In that case, let's act according to our plan and launch a night attack tomorrow night! I only hope that the people you sent to slaves can successfully incite the slaves to respond to our night attack!"

Early the next morning, the Rouran Army didn't notice that anyone had sneaked in last night, and they

At last the mound below the hill was piled up, and a large number of archers were sent up.

Under Dana's order, the Rouran army drove up groups of slaves, and the Rouran archers on the mound shot arrows tied with ropes to the door panels on the city wall according to the previous method. After hitting the door panel, the slaves on the other end pulled hard, but they couldn't pull it.

One by one, the defenders stretched out long knives from between the door panels to cut off the ropes on the arrows. Rouran's plan fell through. Even if they built mounds, they could not break through the defense of the defenders.

A large number of slaves flocked to the city wall and began to erect wooden ladders to climb up. Some slaves carried long wooden sticks. A strong slave grabbed the other end of the long wooden stick and stepped on the outer wall of the city wall and was pushed up the city wall by the slaves.

A large number of arrows shot down from the gaps in the door panels, many slaves and Rouran soldiers were shot to death and wounded, and the orderly soldiers carried stones and threw them down, many slaves were killed on the spot.

The siege battle was in full swing, but there was not much progress. The Rouran soldiers and slaves were still unable to climb the city wall, but suffered a lot.

Marshal Rouran was very annoyed that the mound of soil that took two days to pile up was useless, and the defenders fixed the door panel to death, and they couldn't pull it down no matter what.

"Continue to attack, at all costs, continue to attack!"

After fighting for a whole morning, a large number of slaves and many Rouran soldiers were killed and injured. Da Na had to order to temporarily withdraw the troops and fight again in the afternoon.

The slaves were driven away by the Rouran soldiers and locked up in the camp.

Lu Xuanbo was leaning on a wooden stick, and kept observing the slaves and Rouran guards around him. He suddenly raised his leg and kicked a stone on the ground, and the stone hit a Rouran soldier with a "swish".

"Ouch!" The Rouran soldier yelled in pain, immediately drew out his scimitar, scanned the surrounding slaves with fierce eyes, and shouted sharply: "Who? Who did it?"

Chapter 327

The slaves around all lowered their heads, and the Rouran soldier who was shot was even more angry when he saw this scene, and no one paid attention to him!He kept scanning the crowd of slaves, and a young and strong slave came into his sight. In his opinion, this person was the biggest suspect. ÷

Rou Ranbing rushed to the young slave, grabbed his lapel and asked, "Did you do it?

The young slave looked up at Rouran Bing, he was silent, his eyes were full of hatred.

"You don't admit it, right? Well, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it, whether you admit it or not, you did it!" Rou Ranbing said and slapped him.

With a "slap", the young slave was slapped across the face, and his cheeks swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye. He endured the pain, but still stared at Rou Ranbing without blinking.

Rou Ranbing cursed: "Why are you staring? How dare you stare?" After that, he slapped him across the face again. He was angry and kept chasing and beating the young slave.

The young slave let him beat him and didn't fight back, but the hatred had already penetrated into his bone marrow.

Seeing this, Lu Xuanbo raised his leg again and kicked a stone on the ground. The stone hit the young slave's knee, and his calf reflexively kicked the Rouran soldier who was chasing him.

Rou Ranbing felt the sharp pain from his calf bone, Dabo was furious: "How dare you fight back? Kill me!" Immediately he drew his knife and slashed at the young slave.

The young slave looked terrified and instinctively avoided.

The Rouran soldiers kept hacking and slashing, and the young slave finally failed to dodge after hiding several times, and was slashed straight to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding slaves couldn't bear it any longer, they shouted and surrounded him, and the sāo àn happened.

The guards of the nearby Rouran soldiers immediately raised their bows and set arrows, and the other Rouran soldiers raised their leather shields and pulled out their scimitars to suppress them.

"Back back, or they will all be killed! Back, back!" A handsome Rouran yelled at the slaves with a scimitar in his hand.

Seeing all the Rouran soldiers around them open their big bows, and the arrows on the bows were shining with cold light, the slaves were afraid, and the sāo àn gradually calmed down, and soon some people turned around and walked back, as soon as there was the first one, there would be a second one, The slaves turned around and walked back to their original positions. Some sat on the grass, some lay down directly to save energy, some squatted, some stood.

Seeing that the slaves retreated, Rou Ran, who led the suppression team, pointed at the four slaves and shouted: "You four, carry them away and throw them into the corpse pit!"

One of the pointed ones was Lu Xuanbo. He looked at the other three slaves. These three were all young and middle-aged. The four slowly walked to the young slave who was hacked to death and squatted down. The two raised their hands. , The two lifted their feet, lifted the corpse and walked towards the corpse pit.

The corpse pit is outside the camp. It was dug out by the slaves when they dug the earth and built the mound. The corpses of the dead slaves were all thrown in the corpse pit. There was a corpse pit before, but that corpse pit had been filled. The pit was used as a corpse pit.

Over the past two days, more than 200 long-term malnourished and weak slaves were exhausted in order to dig the soil and build the high platform. All the bodies of these people were thrown in this pit.

Lu Xuanbo and others carried the corpse and walked slowly, not in a hurry. Two Rouran cavalrymen followed behind on horseback with bows and arrows in hand, a distance of more than 30 meters.

A slave in front carried the corpse and sighed as he walked: "Hundreds and thousands of people die every day. They are either killed in siege or exhausted from hard work. When will these days be different!"

The tone is full of negativity and despair.

A slave next to him said: "Don't talk about people who died in wars and exhausted from working. Do you know how many people starve to death every day because they don't have enough to eat?"

The slave next to Lu Xuanbo said in a desperate tone: "I don't know when this battle will be over. Even if it is over, we will not survive. Rouran people don't want men to be captives. They only want women. Women can have children, and men have to pay for it." Waste food and we will all be killed in the end."

Lu Xuanbo carefully observed these three people, and listening to their words of despair and hopelessness about the future, he asked in his heart, "Do you have any family members outside?"

"I still have a wife and children, I am on my way home

I was arrested in the middle of the night, and I don't know what's going on at home! "

Lu Xuanbo shook his head: "Your son must be hopeless, maybe his wife was taken away to give birth to them!"

After Lu Xuanbo said this, the slave's footsteps obviously slowed down, and his body was shaking constantly. Lu Xuanbo's words once again aroused his extinguished anger and hatred, and he growled.

Lu Xuanbo asked the other two, "What about you?"
