my wife is mulan

The advance speed of the Wei army was very fast, and it took less than two days to advance to the original garrison of Huaishuo Town. A city that had been occupied by the Rouran people for nearly two years was besieged by tens of thousands of troops from the Wei army. Thousands of Rouran soldiers and horses in the city Trapped in it with no way out.

Tuoba Tao rode on a horse and looked at Huaishuo Town in front of him and asked the generals around him: "Zhu Qing, there is a city wall in Huaishuo Town, and it may not be easy to break through it. Which general is willing to lead troops to attack the city?" ?”

Chapter 355

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead the army to attack Huaishuo City!" A loud voice came from behind Tuoba Tao.

All the generals and ministers saw that it was Yidu King Qiu Mu Lingshou, and they all had smiles on their faces.

Qiu Muling is a common surname in Xianbei and one of the common surnames in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Qiu Mulingshou was elected to the East Palace as a playmate of Tuoba Tao when he was a teenager, and he was with him. Tuoba Tao liked him very much. He learned the method of spearing from his grandfather Qiu Muling, and his martial arts skills are unsurpassed. He has the ability to shoot horses and bows with a hundred steps.

Qiu Mulingshou was tall and mighty, with beards growing on his face at a young age. Tuoba Tao named his cousin Princess Leling and married him, and let him inherit his father, King Yidu. Knighthood.

Tuoba Tao turned his head and saw that it was Qiu Mulingshou, he smiled and asked Taichang Qing Cui Hao beside him: "Cui Qing, do you think Shou can capture Huaishuo City?"

Cui Hao stroked his beard and looked at Qiu Mulingshou, until he felt hairy in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the King of Yidu may not have the ability!"

Qiu Mulingshou held a high position at a young age, and he was also a powerful general in the army. He commanded more than ten thousand cavalry in the guard army. When Cui Hao said this, he was immediately annoyed, and said angrily to Cui Hao: "Cui Gong, why do you look down on me so much? ?”

After finishing speaking, Qiu Mulingshou clasped his fists at Tuoba Tao and said, "Your Majesty, please allow the last general to lead the army to attack the city!"

Tuoba Tao looked at Qiu Mulingshou playfully, and asked with a smile, "I'll give you a day, what should you do if you can't attack?"

Qiu Mulingshou twisted his neck: "If you can't attack in a day, the last general... His Majesty will punish the last general not to drink for a month!"

"Hahaha..." Tuoba Tao laughed loudly, and other ministers and generals also laughed.

Everyone knows that Qiu Mulingshou likes to drink, and if he doesn't drink for a day, he will feel uncomfortable. If he is punished for not drinking for a month, it will make him feel worse than killing him.

Tuoba Tao immediately said: "Okay, then you are allowed to lead troops to attack the city, you have to remember clearly, if you fail to attack, you will not be allowed to drink alcohol for a month, then don't be a rascal!"

"That can't be done!" Qiu Muling promised, patted his chest, and immediately bid farewell to Tuoba Tao, and went to lead his troops to attack the city.

After half an hour, waiting for Qiu Mulingshou to bring more than [-] guards to the place under the city wall and prepare to attack the city, Tuoba Tao took a look and asked Hua Mulan not far away: "Hua Qing, do you think the King of Yidu can capture Huaishuo City?"

Hua Mulan clasped her fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is not familiar with King Yidu, nor does he know what he is capable of, so we can't deduce it!"

"According to our scout investigation, there are more than [-] Rouran people gathered in the city, and there are more than [-] Rouran people who can be used to defend the city. Then... If you are asked to lead the army to attack the city, you Is it possible to break through the city of Huaishuo in one day?" Tuoba Tao asked again.

Hua Mulan observed it for a while, then clasped her fists and replied, "Your Majesty, although the city wall is only one foot six high, it is not easy to climb it. I only have [-]% certainty!"

Tuoba Tao nodded, pointed to Wei Jun who was planning to attack the city ahead, and said, "Let's wait and see about King Yidu and his guards first!"

Qiu Mulingshou started to attack the city, he waved his hand: "Siege—"

A large number of Wei soldiers rushed to Huaishuo City with their knives and swords roaring. The team was in a mess. They rushed to the front and kept a long distance from the people behind. Some people were afraid of death and slowed down. fall behind others.

Many soldiers were carrying wooden siege ladders and ran together with other people. They were squeezed around, and some people even tripped over them.

Under the order of the guard, the Rouran people on the top of the city began to shoot arrows at the Wei army who was attacking the city. When they rushed to the city, some people were shot and fell down. A shot above the chest is a shot in the lower body.

When the hundreds of people who rushed to the front rushed under the city wall, before the soldiers carrying the siege ladder arrived, these Wei soldiers stood under the city wall and became live targets for the defenders of Rouran.

When someone carried the siege ladder under the city wall, many Wei soldiers had been shot to death, and a large number of corpses fell down.

After paying a heavy price, Wei Jun finally set up the siege ladder on the

After reaching the city wall, soldiers of the Wei army began to climb up the siege ladder with flying bows and arrows.

From time to time, Rouran soldiers appeared on the wall and shot arrows at the soldiers of the Wei army on the siege ladder. These Wei soldiers were originally cavalry, and they had no training in siege at all, and they had never attacked a city. Everyone was at a loss and didn't know how to fight.

In this way of fighting, more than 300 people were lost within half an hour of the start of the battle. Tuoba Tao in the rear saw Wei soldiers falling from the siege ladder from time to time, and people were shot down under the city wall from time to time. He was very distressed. , These Wei Jun cavalry are all elite!

After a whole morning of fighting in this way, after the loss was too great, the soldiers of the Wei army were also afraid, and they began to shrink back and be cautious when attacking the city. As long as they had shields, they would hold the shields above their heads, even though the cavalry shields were small. , the area that can be covered is also small, but it can somewhat block some arrows.

During the siege, there were two breaks in the middle. In the afternoon, no one from the Wei army had climbed the city wall. Qiu Mulingshou couldn't sit still.

Seeing that the sun was getting more and more westward, and it was going to set in just over an hour, Qiu Mulingshou relied on his bravery to personally run under the city wall and lead a team to attack the city.

He grabbed the wooden ladder with one hand and the knife with the other, and stepped on the wooden ladder to climb towards the city wall against the arrows flying around.

Two Rouran soldiers pointed their bows and arrows at him by the wall above his head, and the two arrows shot out with a "swish".

Qiu Mulingshou swung his saber immediately, and the two arrows were knocked flying by him.

Two more arrows were shot, but they were still knocked away by him.

The Rouran people on the top of the city found that this was a powerful character. After a burst of shouting and shouting, more than a dozen archers appeared within ten meters of the city wall, and all of them shot arrows at Qiu Mulingshou.

Seeing this, Qiu Muling waved his knife again to intercept the incoming arrows, but these people kept shooting at him, and he couldn't stop himself from resisting a cup of tea, so he had to jump to the ground.

Qiu Mulingshou's first attempt to personally lead a team to attack the city failed like this. He stood on the ground and knocked an incoming arrow flying, so furious that he flew into a rage.

"I don't believe that with my martial arts skills, I still can't climb the walls of this small Huaishuo City, you all get out of the way!" Qiu Mulingshou yelled, pushing aside the soldiers of the Wei army who were blocking the front, and held the knife again. Climb up the siege ladder.

This time Qiu Mulingshou climbed the wooden ladder much faster, and naturally he had less time to shoot arrows at him on the city wall. The few arrows he shot were quickly knocked away by him, and he climbed to the top of the wooden ladder in a breath. To jump on the wall.

Suddenly a spear stabbed at him, Qiu Mulingshou immediately turned his head to dodge, swung his knife and cut off the spear, but two more spears stabbed at him, he immediately swung his knife to block, blocked a few moves and chopped off one spear. A spear, and another spear kept calling out to him. He put the knife in his mouth cruelly, and after dodging an attack, he grabbed the stabbing spear and pulled it hard.

A Rouran soldier on the city wall was pulled so that his upper body leaned against the wall. Qiu Mulingshou let go of his spear and grabbed the Rouran soldier and threw it down the wall. The Rouran soldier fell to the ground and was hacked to death by the Wei army below.

However, Qiu Mulingshou did not jump up to the city wall as he wished, and several spears stabbed at him again, as well as two scimitars.

"Swish, swish" three sharp arrows shot from the side.

Qiu Mulingshou couldn't dodge in time, and was shot by an arrow in the arm holding the wooden ladder. The pain made him let go of his hand reflexively, and he fell down the city. They fell to the ground, spitting blood.

Two Wei soldiers wanted to help Qiu Mulingshou up, but Qiu Mulingshou yelled, "Don't move, don't move me, my back hurts!"

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Wei Army used several shields to block above his head, which gave Qiu Mulingshou a chance to catch his breath, and it took him a long time to recover.

At this moment, a golden sound came from behind: "Dangdangdang..."

When Qiu Mulingshou heard this, he waved his hand sadly: "Withdraw!"

After the army returned to the camp, Qiu Mulingshou came to the handsome tent with a face full of shame and clasped his fists to Tuoba Tao, saying, "Your Majesty, the last general is incompetent and failed to capture Huaishuo City. Your Majesty is disappointed!"

Tuoba Tao said with a straight face: "Your

I am really disappointed, how many people lost today? "

"One thousand... one thousand and seven hundred people!"

Tuoba Tao's entire face turned dark, he looked at the other generals and asked, "Which general is sure to capture Huaishuo City within a day?"

No one present had fought a siege battle, didn't know how to fight it at all, and no one stood up.

Tuoba Tao couldn't help turning his eyes to Hua Mulan, and directly ordered: "Hua Mulan, you will command the attack tomorrow! You choose a team, which general's team do you like?"
