my wife is mulan

Hua Mulan observed for a while, and then ordered: "It seems that Rouran's horsepower has also lost a lot, and they will not be able to launch an attack for a while. I ordered the defenders in the pass to bring the infantry's meals, and let the soldiers eat standing up. Let the cavalry also eat dry food and feed the horses!"

Zhao Junsheng yelled at the orderly next to him: "Did you hear that? Hurry up and send the order!"

"Yes!" The orderly agreed, and murmured in his heart, you were angry with Hua Mulan, but you took it out on me, hum!

The cooks came over with the steamed cakes on poles and baskets, and distributed them to the soldiers one by one. The soldiers took out the steamed cakes and gnawed, and the cavalry also took out the dry rations, and fed the horses with beans while gnawing the dry rations. .

Zhao Junsheng gave an order to a messenger: "Go and tell Gao Xiu to deploy the second and third thousand cavalry on the inside, and the first thousand cavalry on the outside!"

"Obey!" The orderly agreed with clasped fists, and hurried away on horseback.

Hua Mulan couldn't help asking, "What's the point of such an arrangement?"

"It doesn't matter much. The second thousand cavalry uses spears as their main weapon and is equipped with a bow and a pot of arrows; the third thousand cavalry uses knives as their main weapon and is also equipped with bows and arrows; It is the main combat arm, equipped with a knife as the melee arm!"

Hua Mulan knew, however, that soldiers equipped with different weapons had different ways of fighting and could play different roles. It seemed that the thousandth cavalry should be long-range cavalry, and would not easily engage the enemy at close range.

Hua Mulan turned her head to look behind her, and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Although there is Nantian Fort behind us, once the formation moves forward, the back will be exposed. Ruoran cavalry sent a cavalry to go around and attack our army. Back, we can't stop it! We must deploy a cavalry to protect the back. The soldiers and horses in Huaishuo Town have exhausted too much energy when they retreated. I think your cavalry still have spare strength. How about sending 1000 of your cavalry to protect the back?"

Zhao Junsheng promised: "No problem, who will keep the capable ones in jail!" He immediately ordered the reserve team to protect the back, and then 300 people were drawn from the third thousand cavalry team to join, making up one thousand cavalry.

The Rouran cavalry formation three miles away on the opposite side has been deployed at this time. General Rouran riding on horseback is observing Wei Jun's side. Take a closer look.

Gao Xiu, who was eating dry food, saw a few Rouran cavalry running from the opposite side, and immediately judged that the other party was here to investigate the military situation, and immediately sent scouts to drive them away.

Although Rouran Detective Cavalry was expelled, he took away some military information.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, the younger ones detected that the Wei army had formed a formation in the shape of wild geese. They are eating now, and they are also feeding beans to the horses!" Detective Qi reported to Dana panting.

After hearing this, Da Na slapped his thigh and said very annoyedly: "The chase was too hasty and too hasty. I didn't even bring dry food or water bags. Now my horsepower has not recovered, so I can't launch an attack. Wait for the horsepower to recover a little. Wei Jun is alone. Everyone is full, and my subordinates are all hungry, hungry and thirsty, what should I do? I was fooled, I was fooled!"

Little did he know that if he hadn't been fooled, Wei Jun's sneak attack would have been successful. At this time, he might have been a prisoner of Wei Jun long ago.

At this time, the shaman suggested: "Marshal, the horsepower of the Wei army has not recovered at this time, and there is still time for our army to retreat at this time, and we will try our best to waste some horses. We will retreat to Shengle City first. We still have a lot of horses in Shengle City. When we return to Shengle City, we can change horses and let the sons eat, even if we are killed by the Wei army, we still have the strength to fight, now the sons are hungry, how can we have the strength to fight?"

Da Na made sense. Taking advantage of Wei Jun's horsepower not recovering, he ran away and scrapped some war horses. As long as they can return to Shengle City, the situation will return to the original state, and it will not be as helpless as it is now.

Dana immediately ordered: "Retreat! With the fastest speed, no matter whether the horse can bear it or not, let me retreat at full speed!"

Seeing the Rouran cavalry moving from a distance, the ground trembled, Hua Mulan, Zhao Junsheng and all the other Wei soldiers found that the Rouran cavalry had retreated.

How is this going?Why did the Rouran cavalry retreat without even fighting?

Gao Xiu sent a cavalry to ask: "Dutong, the Rouran cavalry seems to be retreating. Are our troops pursuing?"

Zhao Junsheng rubbed his chin. Now that Hua Mulan is the commander-in-chief, he can't give orders without authorization, so he can only turn his head to look at Hua Mulan and ask, "Mulan, should we pursue or not?"

Hua Mulan thought for a moment, and asked, "Do your cavalry and horses have enough strength? If you pursue them, can you catch up?"

"If the Rouran people retreat at full speed without any hesitation, and try to waste their horses, my cavalry may not be able to catch up. When they catch up, they will also run back to Shengle City. If they continue to flee north, my cavalry will definitely be able to catch up with them." Come on, they can't outrun my cavalry for a long distance!"

Hua Mulan quickly made a decision: "Since this is the case, then we are not in a hurry to pursue. The worst situation is to restore the original situation. We approached Shengle City with [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, carrying two days of dry food. If they want to fight, we will fight, if they retreat to Shengle City, we will besiege and attack the city! I am just worried that they will leave Shengle City and run away!"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said with a smile: "I have ordered Cao Jiao to take 200 people to detour to Baidaoling to block the valley leading to the north of Yinshan Mountain. They can't escape! Besides, running away without even fighting, isn't that true?" Dana style!"

"So I'm relieved, let the cooks prepare dry food, prepare more horse fodder, maybe we will attack the city!"

An hour later, under the leadership of Wan Dugui, Hua Mulan, Zhao Junsheng and others, the 1000 troops of the Wei Army advanced towards Shengle City.

Another two hours later, when the Wei army's troops arrived near Shengle City, five thousand Rouran cavalry had already set up a formation outside Shengle City under the command of Dana.

Seeing that the Rouran cavalry was ready, Hua Mulan ordered the whole army to set up an army formation in the original formation. The army had traveled for such a long distance, and all the troops needed to rest for a while.

But at this time Rouran couldn't bear it anymore, and under the command of Da Na, he took the lead in launching the attack.

Chapter 349 Command Ruo fixed

Under Dana's order, a total of two thousand Rouran cavalry rushed towards Wei Jun on horseback.

According to the practice of charging in the past, in order to avoid heavy casualties when the Rouran cavalry was attacked by large-scale bows and arrows during the charge, the two thousand Rouran cavalry charged in a scattered formation, and their bows and arrows were ready when they charged.

Zhao Junsheng sat motionless on the horseback holding the handle of the knife, but his expression looked very relaxed. As the general, Hua Mulan looked nervous. This was the first time she commanded such a large-scale battle. Her hands were sweating and she was so nervous. Even the Rouran people forgot to give the order when they were about to enter the strike range of the infantry archers.

"Ahem!" Zhao Junsheng coughed twice to remind her, but she didn't respond.

Zhao Junsheng didn't know whether Hua Mulan was overly nervous, or if she had simply forgotten that there were infantrymen, after all, she had only led cavalry before.

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to do it himself, otherwise if the opportunity is lost, he can easily regain it. He immediately shouted: "Archers are ready, the target is [-] steps ahead, and five rounds of salvo..."

"Buzz-buzz-buzz-" Wave after wave of arrows flew into the sky one after another, like densely packed locusts falling into the Rouran cavalry who were galloping on horseback.

The power of the volley was fully revealed, and the two thousand Rouran cavalry in the formation of skirmishers still suffered a head-on blow. In these five rounds of volleys, at least 200 people were shot and fell off their horses one after another, and some were shot but died. Those who missed the point still gritted their teeth and insisted on beating their horses and rushing towards Wei Jun.

Amidst the rumbling hoofbeats, there were a lot of screams and the neighing of war horses.

Some Rouran cavalry who fell from their horses were trampled to death by the horseshoes on the spot, and some were trampled into flesh continuously. If they could survive the thousands of horses galloping after landing, it would be a great luck.

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at Hua Mulan, and found that she seemed to have recovered just now, her hands holding the rein and whip were trembling, and he couldn't help feeling pity in his heart, after all, she was a woman, and under such a big scene, she still Some are not calm.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed Hua Mulan's hand, "Mulan, calm down! You are the general now, you must keep an eye on the six roads, listen to your ears, grasp the overall situation on the battlefield, and give orders in time! Just fight according to your previous thinking, don't worry, even if The order is wrong, isn’t there still me? I will adjust it in time!”

Hua Mulan was grabbed by Zhao Junsheng, and she felt a strong force. She felt at ease, and recalled her previous strategy of defensive counterattack.

If they were all cavalry, there would be no need to fight back defensively. With a superior force, they would naturally be able to attack first, thereby controlling the initiative on the battlefield. But now there are [-] infantry, which is different.

The formation is the Crane Wing Formation, which is originally an offensive formation, and now the Rouran people use cavalry to attack the middle, and use infantry and cavalry to counteract, which is not a wise move.

In order not to disperse the defensive force, they can only withstand the first wave of Rouran's attack before launching a counterattack.

Hua Mulan observed for a while, and saw that the attacking Rouran cavalry had almost entered the attack range of the two-winged cavalry. She immediately ordered: "Order, let the two-winged cavalry shoot the enemy with bows and arrows!"

Zhao Junsheng was still surprised that Hua Mulan calmed down so quickly. As expected of a famous general, it was his first time commanding a battle and he adapted to his status so quickly.

Zhao Junsheng nodded to the messengers. Since the systems and methods of the two armies are different, they can only pass the orders separately. Zhao Junsheng can just use the flag bearer to make the flag, but Huaishuo Town needs to send the messengers to ride over to pass the orders. .

Zhao Junsheng's three cavalry squadrons immediately raised their bows and arrows when they saw the flag bearer's semaphore, and shot arrows at the forward infantry from the past Rouran cavalry, while Huaishuo Town waited for a minute before starting to shoot arrows.

At this time, the first few rows of the attacking Rouran cavalry had begun to gather together at the fastest speed and launched a concentrated assault on the Wei army infantry.

Zhao Junsheng's eyes were fixed, and he said in shock: "These Rouran cavalry have gathered together in such a short period of time to attack me at a fixed point in the middle. This kind of tactical quality..."

"Swoosh..." Rouran's cavalry fired arrows, and a large number of arrows kept shooting into the infantry of the Wei army.

前

The Modao team in the platoon shook the Modao together under Li Bao's order, and knocked some arrows flying. There were still casualties, and some arrows passed through the shaking knife forest and hit Mo Dao Shou's neck, joints, cheeks and other parts.

Many of the arrows shot into the sword and shield soldiers and spearmen in the rear were blocked by the shields, and some arrows got in through the gaps in the shields and hit the Wei soldiers.
