my wife is mulan

After listening to Hua Mulan's words, Wan Dugui knew that he was a little anxious, so he relaxed and led the team to follow behind Zhao Junsheng and his cavalry.

I didn't feel anything for the first ten miles, but after waiting for twenty miles, both Wan Dugui and Hua Mulan realized that something was wrong, because their team slowed down, their horsepower was seriously consumed, and they gradually couldn't keep up with Zhao Junsheng's team , and Zhao Junsheng's team has always maintained this speed.

Wan Dugui and Hua Mulan were puzzled, how could Zhao Junsheng's cavalry maintain this speed all the time, but their cavalry could not?

If Hua Mulan asked Zhao Junsheng at this time, Zhao Junsheng would definitely tell her, because all the cavalry in Huaishuo town used to run, while his cavalry used to walk. The ups and downs naturally consume more energy than walking around to keep the center of gravity on a horizontal line.

Seeing that his team was gradually unable to keep up with the speed, Wan Dugui had no choice but to order the cavalry in Huaishuo Town to change horses. Only after changing horses could they keep up with Zhao Junsheng's team, but Zhao Junsheng's team never changed horses.

The sky was already bright, but Zhao Junsheng and his team stopped suddenly, because of the loud noises coming from the direction of Shengle City, the sky above Shengle City

Plenty of light is visible.

Zhao Junsheng estimated that it is at least seven miles away from Shengle City.

At this time, Hua Mulan came galloping with two cavalrymen and ran to Zhao Junsheng and asked, "Zhao Dutong, why did you stop? This is not far from Shengle City, right? If you work harder, you will soon be able to encircle Shengle City." Get up!"

Zhao Junsheng pointed in the direction of Shengle City with his horsewhip: "Look, Mulan, we underestimated the warning speed of the Rouran people. There are still seven miles to Shengle City from here. When we arrive, I am afraid that all the Rouran people have already left the city and set up a battle. Both armies are new recruits, have never seen blood, and do not have an advantage in terms of military strength, and the Rouran cavalry are all long-time fighters. I am afraid that we will not be able to please if we rush up like this. Even if we can win, it will be a miserable victory, and the troops will lose Seriously, the past six months have been busy for nothing!"

After hearing Zhao Junsheng's words, Hua Mulan looked in the direction of Shengle City. There was really a lot of noise coming from there. If it was in the daytime, she would not be able to hear the sound so far away, but now it is night, everything is silent, and she can hear it clearly The clamor and the clatter of hooves.

It seems that Rouran has already taken action, Hua Mulan made a decisive decision, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Dutong, our whereabouts have been exposed, and the strategy of sneak attack is no longer feasible, we can't rush up to meet Rouran people rashly. Head-to-head, we still have to think of another way!"

Zhao Junsheng took a deep breath and said to Hua Mulan: "For now, we can only inform General Wan immediately. In order to avoid being chased and killed by the Rouran people, our two armies must retreat quickly to find other strategies!"

"Okay!" Hua Mulan immediately led Hua Kui, Hua Hai and others to run backwards.

Zhao Junsheng gave Gao Xiu an order: "Order to tell the soldiers to turn around and retreat at the speed just now without changing horses!"

"As ordered!"

The army quickly turned around, and after Zhao Junsheng left behind Gao Xiuduan, he personally led the soldiers to retreat to the defense line of Nantianbao.

It's really that the plan can't keep up with the changes. It was originally planned, but it fell short because of underestimating the warning speed of the Rouran people. Now I can only give up the plan of the sneak attack and make another plan.

After walking for a few miles, they had caught up with the garrison of Huaishuo Town, and the two armies marched side by side. Zhao Junsheng asked a commander to lead the team, and he rode his horse towards Huaishuo Town.

Zhao Junsheng found Wan Dugui and Hua Mulan, and the three marched side by side.

"General, now that our sneak attack strategy has failed, what should we do next? I wonder if the general has any plans?" Zhao Junsheng asked.

Wan Dugui said: "For a while, I couldn't think of any countermeasures. I was worried that the Rouran cavalry would catch up from behind. I'd better lead the army back to Nantian Castle before making plans. What do you think?"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and said: "Naturally it is best to withdraw to Nantian Fort, but we are running out of time, at most we have two days left, otherwise King Yongchang will not be able to explain why we did not complete the task when the time comes. I can't afford to wait!"

Wan Dugui also showed worry on his face, he was released from prison not long ago, so he naturally wanted to make meritorious deeds to regain the emperor's trust, seeing that the credit he got was gone, why wasn't he in a hurry?

He couldn't help looking at Hua Mulan: "Mulan, what's your idea?"

Hua Mulan thought for a moment and suddenly asked Zhao Junsheng: "Zhao Dutong, you still have thousands of infantry in Nantianbao. If you put these infantry in the golden lock formation, can you block a wave of five thousand Rouran cavalry?"

Zhao Junsheng knew Hua Mulan's thoughts roughly as soon as he heard it, and said: "It depends on how the Rouran cavalry fights. If they charge with all their strength regardless of everything, and use [-] cavalry against my [-] light infantry, it will be considered my door gold. No matter how well the formation is set up, I'm afraid it can't stop it, but if they don't all use it to attack my five thousand soldiers, I'm sure to block the impact of two thousand cavalry!"

Hua Mulan immediately said: "That's good, send people back to Nantianbao, and let [-] infantry line up in front of the pass to meet us. At that time, we will use the cavalry as the left and right wings, and the infantry as the central army, and arrange them into a big crane wing formation. If the Rouran people dare to charge forward, we will use the cavalry to outflank the two wings. As long as the infantry of the Chinese army can block the first wave of the Rouran cavalry attack, they will die! The general and Zhao Dutong think about the idea of ​​the last general? "

Wan Dugui listened to it and greatly appreciated it: "This strategy is very good. They handed over

After the battle, if we retreat without a fight, our army will go straight to Shengle City, steal their nests, and then block their way back north, leaving them no food to eat and nowhere to go, so they can only fight with our army. decisive battle!What does Junsheng think? "

In fact, Zhao Junsheng had long thought that a sneak attack might fail. Many conditions must be met for a sneak attack to be successful, and he was not surprised if it was unsuccessful. Jian didn't say who would be the main general at the time, and he couldn't let the Huaishuo garrison cooperate with him, let alone let Wan Dugui obey his command.

The biggest disadvantage and shortcoming of the joint operations of the two armies is that when the primary and secondary are not clear, one of them must be the main one, otherwise it is easy to have a rift between the main generals, and if they are not subordinate to each other, they will fight on their own. The enemy seized the flaws and smashed them one by one.

Now that this battle plan was proposed by Hua Mulan, it is not too abrupt. Wan Dugui can discuss it with Zhao Junsheng. If one of them proposes it, who will be the leader and who will be the deputy?It should be noted that he, Zhao Junsheng, was not born to like to be someone else's subordinate.

Zhao Junsheng smiled and said: "Mulan's idea is good, but it's too passive to set up the door golden lock formation. You must know that the crane wing formation is an offensive formation, and the door golden lock formation wants to move. The current drill level of our infantry is not enough. I can't do it, but it's not a problem. If I can't use the Golden Lock Formation, I can use other formations. It's not a big problem to block the first wave of Rouran's attack! It's just... In joint military operations, there must always be a distinction between primary and secondary. Who will be the main general? If victorious, how will the spoils be distributed? If you can’t confiscate the loot, then something big will happen!”

Chapter 348 The plan always fails to keep up with the changes

Wan Dugui laughed: "Hahaha... Junsheng, you are an open-minded person. It's better to speak clearly first, so as not to create a rift between us! How about this, this general will give you young people a chance, this time The general should not be the general in battle, but Mulan came up with this strategy, let him be the general, what do you think, Junsheng?"

Of course, Zhao Junsheng would not compete with Hua Mulan for the position of the leader, and immediately agreed: "Okay, let Mulan be the leader! Then how will the spoils be distributed?"

Wan Dugui did the math and said: "The distribution is based on the number of troops sent. One cavalry is three infantry. You have 3000 infantry and more than 3000 cavalry on your side. There are more than [-] cavalry on Huaishuo Town. You are cheap, if you win this battle, Huaishuo Town only needs [-]% of the spoils, and the remaining [-]% belongs to you!"

"That's the deal!" Zhao Junsheng clasped his fists together and galloped towards his team without talking nonsense.

Zhao Junsheng sent a personal soldier to ride three horses and gallop to Nantian Fort at the fastest speed, so that Li Bao, who stayed behind in Nantian Fort, led [-] infantry to set up an army formation on the plain outside Nantian Fort.

Not long after the personal soldiers were sent out, Gao Xiu, who had been broken, sent a cavalry to report to Zhao Junsheng: "Dutong, the Rouran people have caught up, and they are less than five miles away from our army!"

Rouran really caught up. It seems that the Rouran people were angered. They must be very angry when they were woken up at dawn. Why did they let Wei Jun retreat so easily?Naturally, we must pursue it fiercely.

"Order, everyone changes horses and retreats faster! You, go tell General Wan and General Hua that the Rouran people are catching up, and you must speed up and distance yourself from them!"

"Yes, General!"

After receiving the notification from Zhao Junsheng, Wan Dugui had no choice but to order a change of horses, but this time the change of horses was not obvious because the horses were very tired.

Under such circumstances, Wan Dugui gritted his teeth and forced an order: "If you speed up, you can't be caught up by the Rouran people. Even if you make Ma tired and foaming, you have to rush to Nantianbao. It is impossible for Rouran people to reach Nantianbao. Let’s launch an attack? Their horses are not magic horses. After chasing for more than 40 miles, I don’t believe that they can still launch an attack!”

After the order was issued, all the horses of the cavalry in Huaishuo Town were panting heavily and sweating profusely.

After the sky became brighter, Zhao Junsheng, Wan Dugui, and Hua Mulan finally brought the team back.

Li Bao's movements were also very fast. In just over half an hour, [-] infantrymen formed a square formation outside Nantianbao Pass.

In keeping with the agreement, Zhao Junsheng led the cavalry to the right front of the infantry phalanx, while Wan Dugui and Hua Mulan led the cavalry from Huaishuo Town to the left front of the infantry phalanx.

As soon as the two cavalry and infantry phalanxes merged and deployed the Crane Wing Formation, the Rouran cavalry caught up, but they stopped three miles away.

Dana had to order to stop. The horses of his cavalry were exhausted after chasing for more than 40 miles. Fortunately, there were still two horses per person, and one horse could not catch up at all.

If you want to fight, you can only wait for the horsepower to recover before fighting. In this state, I am afraid that the horse will have weak legs and fall down during the battle.

The cavalry has been handed over to Gao Xiu to command. Zhao Junsheng came to the middle of the infantry phalanx. The first few rows of the infantry phalanx were the Modao team. They wanted to block the Rouran cavalry's charge, but they could not limit the infantry phalanx's ability to move. Zhao Junsheng felt that there was no other way but to put the Modao formation at the front.

There are 500 people in the Modao formation, arranged in four rows; behind the Modao formation is the phalanx of sword and shield soldiers combined with spearmen. This phalanx has a total of 3000 people. Guerrilla riding and shooting around the surroundings, otherwise it would be impossible to disrupt its position.

Behind the phalanx of sword and shield soldiers combined with spearmen are 500 archers, also densely arranged.

Hua Mulan, as the main general of this battle, rode her horse to the middle of the infantry phalanx with Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Mulan, you are the general now, you give orders, I will obey you!"

Unexpectedly, Hua Mulan didn't give face at all, and scolded with a straight face, "Why are you laughing? Be serious!"

"Huh?" Zhao Junsheng was quite embarrassed, stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, and his face immediately became serious.
