Tuoba Jian raised his hand and said with a smile: "Hua Aiqing is free of courtesy, and she is flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Tuoba Jian got up and walked out, "Hua Aiqing, female generals like you in the past dynasties are rare, and female generals like you who can lead troops in battle are even rarer. You are unique in our Wei Dynasty." Ge, it can be regarded as setting a precedent for my Great Wei to use a woman as a marquis and general!"

Hua Mulan followed him out of the palace, clasped her fists and said, "Your Majesty's absurd praise, I'm ashamed of myself!"

"Hahaha...you deserve it!"

Tuoba Jian remembered something, and joked: "By the way, Zhao Qing won't have any thoughts in his heart if I summon you here?"

"This minister doesn't know, you have to ask him to find out!"

Tuoba Jian shook his head: "He may not be telling the truth! Well, stop joking, let's talk about business, this Wuzhou city is really difficult to attack, I have been attacking it for more than ten days, but it still does not budge! I don't know if Hua Aiqing has any way to attack the city?"

Hua Mulan said: "Your Majesty, I know several ways to attack the city, but none of the soldiers have practiced it, and they can't use it! For the specific situation, I have to go to the Wuzhou Pass to know whether there is any way to attack the city." A way to break through!"

"Okay!" Tuoba Jian said, "Go and have a look, come to the palace tomorrow to discuss the method of attacking the city!"

"Obey!" Hua Mulan agreed, and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to know the situation of the guards at the Wuzhou Gate and the guards inside the pass. Please send someone to Weibo

The minister explained it! "

Tuobajian told the new guard commander Tuoba Kexiling: "Kexiling, tell Hua Aiqing about the situation of Wuzhou Pass and Yilouji!"

"According to the order!"

After Tuoba Jian returned to the palace, Hua Mulan said to Tuoba Jian Ke Xiling: "Commander Ke Xiling, let's talk as we walk!"

"it is good!"

On the way to Wuzhou Pass, Tuoba Kexiling introduced the news about Wuzhou Pass and Yilouji to Hua Mulan.

Yilou is one of the common surnames of Xianbei in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and his influence in the Northern Wei Dynasty should not be underestimated. This Yilou Ji is a side branch of the Yilou family. He joined the army at the age of 16. It has been 20 years since he was a soldier. General Lang guards the Wuzhou Pass at the west gate of Pingcheng.

This Wuzhou Pass is not a single dangerous pass. It consists of a main pass and four auxiliary passes. There are more than [-] defenders. These soldiers and horses are not all stationed in the pass, but in Wuzhou County. It wasn't until Tuoba Jian led the army to kill that these defenders withdrew to the pass to garrison.

Hua Mulan and Ke Xiling rode their horses to a stone's throw away from the main pass of Wuzhou Pass. When they looked up, they felt that the defenders on the top of the wall were as small as black dots, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.

This height made Hua Mulan gasp, four feet, converted to close to 15 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a five-story building.

At this time, there were many corpses of dead soldiers piled up under the city wall, and no one collected them. A large number of swords, spears and arrows were stuck on the ground or on the corpses. The smell of blood and corpses attracted many mosquitoes.

She went to check the other four secondary gates, and found that these four secondary gates were more dangerous and could not be deployed with a large number of troops.

"Ke Xiling, has His Majesty the Emperor ever thought of sending someone to persuade Yilouji to open the door?"

Tuoba Kexiling shook his head: "Thinking about it, but it's unlikely. Yilouji's family is in Pingcheng. If he offers the pass, the whole family will definitely die. I'm afraid he won't do that! The four major Zhonglang generals in the northwest led the army to protect the safety of the capital, and if the army wants to fight to Pingcheng, this is the only way to go, even if you want to detour!"

Chapter 422 Mulan's Request for Help

The north wall of Wuchuan City had begun to take shape, and it was five miles long. At this moment, Zhao Junsheng was directing the captive slaves to tamp the piled soil with stones and wood.

After the tamping this time, even if the north city wall has been built, the next step is to build the west city wall. Once the weather turns cold and the cold air hits, it must come from the north and west, so the north city wall and the west city wall must be built first. stand up.

"General, General, General Hua sent someone to deliver a letter!" Someone shouted loudly from under the city gate.

When Zhao Junsheng looked down, he was overjoyed and ordered loudly, "Send it up!"

A soldier ran up the stairs with thumping strides, panting, and handed a letter to Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng took the letter and went to the side of the female wall to open it. He opened the letter and looked at it. In addition to the letter paper, there was also a full frontal picture of Wuzhou Pass inside the envelope.

"Bad guy..." Zhao Junsheng read the beginning of the letter, and couldn't laugh or cry.

Continue to look down, "...Mulan observes several times a day, and has not found any defensive loopholes in this pass for three consecutive days. His Majesty is in a hurry. On the contrary, the defenders found out that our army was abnormal and took advantage of it. The consequences are really unpredictable..."

"Mulan sent a complete map of Wuzhou Pass along with the letter, hoping that brother Junsheng can give a feasible way to break through the pass to solve the current predicament..."

In the letter, there is little content about the relationship between men and women, and most of them are talking about the fortification of Wuzhou Pass and the current bad situation of the army. In the letter, Hua Mulan hopes that he will give a feasible method to break through the pass as soon as possible.

Zhao Junsheng put away the letter and hid it in his arms. After thinking for a moment, he turned and walked down the tower.

After hitting the horse and returning to the camp, Zhao Junsheng walked into the dental tent and sat down behind the desk, spread out a piece of white paper, picked up a pen and drew a picture on the white paper after thinking for a while.

After a full hour, Zhao Junsheng put down the pen after finishing the painting, checked it carefully again, and silently calculated it again in his heart, and then shouted: "Come on!"

A soldier walked in and clasped his fists: "Here!"

"Go and call Jiao Yunzhe, the head of the artisan battalion!"

"Yes, General!"

Not long after, Jiao Yunzhe came in and cupped his hands, "General, are you looking for me?"

Zhao Junsheng nodded, picked up the blueprint on the table and handed it over: "Look at this!"

Jiao Yunzhe took the blueprint and looked at it. His eyes were wide open, round and excited, and he raised his head and said, "General, this... is this a siege weapon?"

"you guessed right!"

Zhao Junsheng came out from behind the desk and said: "A few days ago, General Xiaohua was ordered to go to the imperial driver's office to listen to him. Now she is ordered to command a large army to attack Wuzhou Pass. It is dangerous, it is difficult to break through for a while, and the loss is still huge! She wrote back and asked me to think of a way for her. I thought about it, and I can only use this fence to remotely suppress the defense of the city head if I want to break through the Wuzhou Pass. Army, and then use a large number of siege ladders to transport a large number of soldiers to climb to the top of the city and snatch the city wall!"

"The meaning of the general's drawing of this well fence structure..."

"Yes, General Ben wants you to bring some carpenters to help Mulan. After you go there, you will lead the craftsmen there to build a large number of well rails and siege ladders. I will write to Mulan and she will send someone to settle you down. OK!"

Jiao Yunzhe agreed: "Your subordinate will follow orders! When will your subordinate leave?"

"Make arrangements. Set off early tomorrow morning and rush over there as soon as possible! There is one thing I want to tell you. This well fence is a sharp weapon for siege. If it is used well, it will be of great help to the siege. After you break through Pingcheng, you will Find a way to destroy them all, not a single one can be kept, and even when building, different craftsmen must make different parts!"

Jiao Yunzhe didn't know why, so he agreed with doubts.

He didn't understand, but Zhao Junsheng knew very well in his heart that the Xianbei's fast horse scimitar and riding and shooting were already good enough. If they were given a way to make heavy siege equipment, wouldn't they be as powerful as the Mongols? Invincible?Han people also

Is there a way out?Is there still a chance to recover the rivers and mountains?

Jiao Yunzhe hesitated for a moment and asked: "General, the subordinates are weak, and this important weapon must be strictly guarded. What if the subordinates cannot get it?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "If there is really no other way, you can go to Lu Xuanbo, come over tomorrow and bring two letters, one for Mulan and one for Lu Xuanbo, he will know what to do after reading the letter! "

"Understood, subordinates retire!"

Early the next morning, Jiao Yunzhe brought some craftsmen over to Zhao Junsheng, and took two letters from him.

Four days later, Jiao Yunzhe and others arrived at the camp outside the Wuzhou Pass and were led to Hua Mulan's tent.
