my wife is mulan

Chapter 354

Gao Xiu, Gao Xu, Cao Jiao, Pei Jin and others all looked at each other. They all knew that this situation was not impossible. During this period, it was controlled by the Jinling Camp.

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a while, and said to Xue An in a firm tone: "There is only one sentence in the capital: no matter what happens, the defenders on the defense line from Nantianbao to Da'eshan must not transfer a single soldier, no matter who gives you Even if you order troops to be dispatched, you can refuse to obey them! If someone asks you to question your crimes, you can say that this is an order issued by Ben Dutong before he left, and let him come to me!"

With these words, Xue An felt relieved, and clasped his fists in agreement: "Obey!"

Zhao Junsheng said to Pei Jin again: "Pei Jin, I will entrust you with the overall arrangement of all matters related to the luggage. The carriages, grooms, coachmen, and the [-] people are all under your control, and another [-] infantry will be transferred. Waiting for your dispatch! The soldiers and horses needed to escort the luggage will be arranged separately!"

Pei Jin cupped his hands and agreed: "This subordinate obeys the order!"

Zhao Junsheng ordered again and again: "Gao Xiu leads the cavalry; Gao Xu and Cao Jiao each lead [-] infantry!"

The three stood up and agreed together: "Yes, Dutong!"

Early the next morning, after breakfast, all the armies set off from camp one after another.

Yongchang Wang Tuobajian led four armies and one battalion, which were the Right Guard Army, the Xiaocai Army, the Huaishuo Army, the Woye Army and the Supply Battalion.

Under normal circumstances, Zhao Junsheng's supply battalion did not participate in the battle. If there were insufficient troops, Zhao Junsheng's supply battalion had to participate in the battle. The supply battalion had the right to obtain all the spoils they captured.

The combined strength of the four armies and one battalion totaled more than 1 troops, of which the Right Guard Army and the Xiaocai Army each had 3000 soldiers, the Huaishuo Army and the Woye Army each had [-] soldiers, and Zhao Junsheng's supply battalion had [-] soldiers. More than a thousand people.

The army marched to the entrance of Baidao, and Yongchang King Tuobajian saw a pass blocking the front, he said in surprise: "This king remembers that there was no pass here when His Majesty crusaded the Zhuzhu people a few years ago. Could it be this pass?" Was it built by the Worm people in the past two years?"

At this time, the gates of the pass were closed tightly, and there were soldiers stationed on the city walls and towers, but they did not open the gates.

Yu Ji, the lord and staff officer, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Shengle City was captured by General Wan Dugui and Zhao Dutong together. This pass should also be stationed by their soldiers and horses. If we want to go out, I'm afraid they will be needed." The two of you have to come over and let the defenders open the city gate!"

At this time, a team leader appeared on the city tower, leaning on the wall and shouting loudly: "The Dutong has already issued an order, and the army will go out of the customs today to attack the north. Come here, open the city gate, and let the soldiers and horses pass through!"

Following this order, the gate guards opened from the inside.

"It seems that these defenders should belong to Zhao Junsheng, please, my lord!" Yu Ji said to Tuoba Jian with a smile.

Tuoba Jian nodded, raised his hand and waved forward, "Go ahead!"

After passing through the Baidao pass, the army entered the Baidao pass behind the pass.

Zhao Junsheng led his soldiers and horses to the rear of the entire army. He looked up and down on his horseback, and found that the Baidaoling Mountain was high and deep, and it was difficult for a large number of people, vehicles and horses to pass through. It was opened up in a gentle area, but at this time, you can only ride a horse, and you can't take a carriage. If you want to take a carriage, you have to rebuild the road again.

Zhao Junsheng said to Pei Jin: "Looking at the road conditions, the carriage will definitely not be able to go. You first let the horsemen drive the horses to carry all the luggage to the north of the mountain, and let the folks dismantle the carriage and carry the parts to the north of the mountain. During assembly!"

Pei Jin said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, the subordinates have already made arrangements. The escort still has to rely on horse-drawn carriages, which transport a lot, and only rely on horses to transport much!"

When we arrived at the north of the mountain, it was already afternoon, so there were too many people and horses, and the speed of marching was naturally too fast. The mountain road was narrow and difficult to walk. We could have traveled sixty or seventy miles a day, but this day we only walked forty miles. Over the mountains, tomorrow there will be a large area of ​​hilly areas to cross.

As long as you pass through the hilly area in the north of the mountain, and then there is a flat plateau in the north, your marching speed will be faster in the future.

The army camped overnight at the foot of the mountain.

The luggage and carriage parts were also brought over by grooms and folks at night.

Early in the morning of the next day, the army set up camp and continued to advance northward along the flat terrain of the hilly area. The folks assembled carriages one after another. The large and heavy luggage was loaded on the carriages, and the light materials Let the horses carry them.

After the army officially entered the flat plateau, the marching speed accelerated a bit.

The fragrance of the soil and the greenness of the weeds rushed towards his face. Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but closed his eyes and took a deep breath while riding on horseback. Looking around, the blue sky was dotted with white clouds, and the pasture in the distance could not be seen at a glance. There is no end in sight.

When the army was marching, a scout on horseback galloped towards the army.

"My lord, there is a tribe of squirming people twenty miles ahead, about a thousand tents!"

Tuoba Jian did not order the army to stop advancing, it was only more than 1000 accounts. He ordered the messenger: "Order Yuan He, let Woye Town quickly send troops to attack the Zhuzhu tribe twenty miles ahead!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Grassland barbarians generally calculate their tribal strength in units of tents. If it is an army, there are at most ten soldiers in one tent, but if it is a tribal settlement, there is only one adult man in one tent, and one adult man can form a family. .

Some people ask, what if there are widowed mothers or widowers?Widowed women or widowed old men can only live in a small tent next to the big tent. Only adult men are eligible to live in the big tent, regardless of whether they are married or not.

According to the news sent back by the detective cavalry, about 1000 tents, it must not exceed [-] tents. According to the calculation that there is one adult man in one tent, it means that the troops of the Zhuzhu tribe can dispatch about [-] people.

The news of the annihilation of the Rouran Army in Shengle City has been blocked, and no one fled back to the north of the mountain to report the news. The people of Rouran in the north of the Yin Mountain have not yet received the news.

The tribes with more than 1000 accounts in front were not prepared for the sudden attack of Wei Jun. When Yuan He led people to kill, more than 1000 Rouran people rushed back to the residence in a panic, took weapons and bows and arrows, and prepared to fight.

It's a pity that they didn't have enough time to prepare and assemble. Before the more than a thousand Rouran people were ready, Yuan He brought more than 3000 Woye troops to charge over.

The scattered army formation was vulnerable to a single blow, and the Rouran people didn't even have time to ride their horses to meet them. They only met each other, and the army formation of the Rouran people was crushed before they formed. He was cut off from his horse.

Fighting one thousand with three thousand was unexpected, and the battle ended within an hour. Burning tents were everywhere in Rouran's camp, and the tents made of leather gave off an unpleasant burnt smell.

By the time Zhao Junsheng arrived with his troops and logistics team, the battle had long since ended, and all the belongings in the residence of the Rouran people had been robbed by the Wo Yejun, and even a broken arrow could not be seen.

Gao Xu followed Zhao Junsheng on horseback and said with a bitter face: "Dutong, according to this method, we will only have to follow behind them forever and eat ashes. It is impossible to seize them by fighting!"

Zhao Junsheng said with a straight face: "You are stupid. If you don't fight, you don't need to die. Anyway, you all have a salary to live on, so you don't have to worry about your family starving to death! If there is an order from above to fight, there is no way, we have to go to battle! You just Just remember one thing, the higher up wants us to work hard, we have to make enough money, as much as we can, and whoever wants to grab our property, we will kill him!"

"That's true!" Gao Xu nodded.

Zhao Junsheng waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, let's arrange camp for the brothers!"

"Yes!"

······

Under the leadership of Emperor Tuoba Tao, the West Route Army walked westward out of Da'e Mountain, and marched continuously for seven days to reach the top of Montenegro.

The army camped at the foot of the mountain, and that night, Tuoba Tao called all the generals to discuss matters.

"My lords, I have sent scouts to investigate. After crossing the Black Mountain, and then passing through the Shimen Water Canyon {that is, the Kundulun Canyon}, we entered the jurisdiction of the former Huaishuo Town, and now the jurisdiction of Huaishuo Town The land is occupied by Rouran people, but I don't know that Rouran people are there

How many people in that area can only go all out. In order to achieve the effect of being unawares and attacking them unprepared, they must march as fast as possible. The luggage can only be left temporarily, and everything that can be given up is given up. Prepare dry food for three days. The army will go into battle lightly, tomorrow Depart early in the morning! "

"Follow the order!" All the generals agreed together.

In the early morning of the next day, each soldier received three days of dry food, brought enough arrows, and set off under the leadership of their respective soldiers.

Shimen Water, this is the name of the Kundulun River by Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty in "Shui Jing Zhu". Taiwan and Zhaojun went out of the fortress through this passage.

Tuoba Tao's choice of this season to go on an expedition is very good in terms of timing. After a cold winter, the livestock have consumed a lot of fat and energy in their bodies. The barbarians would take their livestock away from their place of residence to graze every day, and wanted to gather together for a while. It's not that easy.

Tuobatao's tens of thousands of horses and horses, no matter how concealed they are, can't stop making noise. As soon as they passed through the Shimen Water Canyon, they were discovered by the grazing Zhuzhu people. .

The army of the Northern Wei Dynasty was not slow. They were all cavalry, and each was equipped with two horses. The Rouran people ran in front, and the Northern Wei army chased after them. When the Rouran people ran back to the camp, the Northern Wei army also caught up. , launched a surprise attack directly.

If the Rouran people did not have time to gather their troops, they would have suffered heavy losses and fled. The Wei army chased them wildly until they caught up.
