my wife is mulan

Zhang Xing was a little relieved, there was at least one and a half months before he could think of a solution, but the current situation was not optimistic, the Yan army was now a lone army, and he couldn't find anyone to fight with the Youzhou army.

"Marshal, what should we do now? We must find a way to break the situation, otherwise we will be trapped here to death!" Yao Zhao asked.

Qin Du clasped his fists to Zhang Xing and said, "Commander, since this is the case, why don't we force the Youzhou Army to show up? Sending troops to attack Ji County, the general will not believe that the Youzhou Army will not come out!"

Zhang Xing shook his head and vetoed this suggestion. His current military strength is not dominant, and he is going deep alone, which is very dangerous. If he is not careful, he will be destroyed.

"No, immediately write a battle report and send it back to Longcheng, asking the squadron to return to the court. If the king of heaven refuses, please send troops to help! The strength of Youzhou has exceeded our expectations. We only have more than 5000 people now, and The opponent's troops are no less than ours, and we are fighting on the ground, we are completely at a disadvantage, if we don't withdraw or send troops to help, we will be in danger of defeat!"

Pine Ridge.

A Wei army infantry is attacking Qingsong Ridge. There is a pass here, which is one of the necessary passes from Youzhou of Wei State to Youzhou of Yan State.

Zhao Junsheng observed for a while, and said to Hua Mulan: "Look at these soldiers. If they are fighting cavalry on flat ground, they are definitely not good, but they are good for attacking the city. According to the intensity of the attack and the input of troops, this green pine Ridge can only withstand one day at most!"

Hua Mulan said: "Although you are right, Yuyang is not far from here. If you send cavalry to go as fast as possible, it will take less than a day. You are not afraid that Zhang Xing will send an army to attack your back ?”

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "It will take time for Zhang Xing to get the news, and it will also take time for troops to arrive. If he waits for him to send troops, this Qingsong Ridge has already been captured by our army! Besides, Zhang Xu's troops are not far from here." Not far away, as long as Zhang Xing dares to come, I will tell him to come and go, I wish he would send troops, so that he can eat away at his strength little by little!"

Chapter 472 Unexpectedly

Hua Mulan rode on horseback and observed the infantry attacking the city for a while, then turned her head and asked, "Brother Junsheng, are you going to capture this pass, or are you going to bring the main force of the Yan army here and injure him here?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "The first goal is to capture this pass. It would be the best if we can attract the Yan army during this process!"

Hua Mulan thought for a while, and said to Zhao Junsheng: "There are not many defenders at this pass, only 300 to [-] people. You really don't have to worry about being attacked. But... since the first goal is to capture this pass, then these Although the siege infantry is good at attacking the city, but this pass is dangerous, and it is not difficult to capture it within a day, but the casualties will definitely be huge!"

"You can see that they are skilled and agile in climbing the siege ladder, but they still lack mutual cooperation and cover! This time the siege is a bit rushed. There is only a siege ladder as a siege tool. It would be great if they could use the well fence! "

Zhao Junsheng observed for a while, then stretched out his hand and waved to Yao Yong, who was in command of an infantry.

Yao Yong made a mistake and immediately came forward to hold his fists together and said, "Emissary?"

Zhao Junsheng pointed to the bushes and thorns on both sides of Qingsong Ridge and said: "Do you see the bushes and thorns on both sides? Although these bushes and thorns grow densely and there is no road, the hillside is not too steep. I would like to Let you send two teams of men and horses to cut a path on both sides of Qingsong Ridge with sharp knives, and then attack Qingsong Ridge from both sides! Pass the word, whoever captures Qingsong Ridge first will be promoted to a higher level and rewarded with a thousand cattle and sheep."

Although Zhao Junsheng received more than 1 soldiers from Li Yuande and others, he did not completely deprive them of their military power. The county soldiers and county soldiers are still led by these people. It is a thousand thanks to these people for keeping their official positions and lives. How dare you hate him?Besides, he acted in the name of the emperor, and these people hated the emperor as much as he wanted.

Yao Yong wrongly promised: "The last general obeys orders!"

He rode away to organize troops to open up two roads up the mountain.

It seems simple to open two paths up the mountain on the hillside dense with bushes and thorns, but it is actually not so easy. At the beginning, many soldiers were scratched by the thorny thorns on their clothes and skin, bleeding.

Later, some people tied cowhide on their arms and hands, which reduced the number of injuries, but now it is summer, although being fully armed can reduce injuries, but the heat is terribly hot. Everyone can't stand the heat for a long time, and some people suffer from heat stroke from time to time. faint.

Seeing this, Yao Yongcuo had to order another two groups of people to rotate. Each group worked for two minutes and then switched to another group.

It took a whole morning to finally open up two mountain roads leading to both sides of the Qingsongling Pass.

Now the Yan army on Qingsong Ridge began to panic. Their strength was not sufficient, and the Wei army attacked from both sides at the same time. They had to deploy troops to defend on both sides, which weakened the front. Defensive strength.

"Wu Baozhi!" Hua Mulan shouted after observing for a while.

Wu Baozhi turned his head and saw that it was Hua Mulan calling him, he was a little hesitant, Hua Mulan is not a general of Youzhou after all, should he listen to her?

When he thought about the relationship between Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng, he still agreed, "The last general is here!"

Hua Mulan ordered: "Drop a hundred archers who are good at archery from among your people to provide long-range support to the besiegers and suppress the guards at the top of the city. You must shoot accurately and don't shoot your own people!"

"Yes, General!" Wu Baozhi agreed and rode away.

Not long after, a hundred infantrymen with good archery skills lined up to the city wall and shot arrows at the defenders on the city wall, and quickly suppressed the defenders, which relieved a lot of pressure on the attacking infantry.

Finally, someone climbed up the city wall in one breath, and more and more people climbed up the city wall, the pressure on the defenders increased greatly, and everyone had to be sent up, but the soldiers who attacked the city had already played their rhythm. Rhythm continued to invest troops on the city wall.

After noon, Qingsongling could no longer defend, and the defenders were killed one by one. When there were only 30 people left, all of them chose to surrender.

The soldiers were cleaning up the corpses, weapons, and arrows above and below the city wall, and a strong smell of blood radiated out

, It can be smelled from far away, and the smell of blood has attracted a lot of flies, especially in such hot weather, the corpse is more likely to rot, if it is not cleaned up as soon as possible, it will soon stink.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan passed through the busy figures of the soldiers and came to the tower.

Hua Mulan supported the female wall and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Brother Junsheng, I think we should strike while the iron is hot and set off immediately to take down Songyugou, which is [-] miles away, and make the commander of the Yan Army even more flustered. Only in this way can we force him to send troops. You can defeat them one by one and gradually weaken his strength!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and smiled when he heard the words: "That's a good suggestion! How about you take command of the attack on Songyugou!"

Hua Mulan was also not polite, and directly agreed: "Okay! If I don't conduct well, you have to remind me, don't make me look ugly in front of so many people!"

"In a year or two, I'm afraid I won't be able to advise you, but you will be required to advise me instead!" Zhao Junsheng said jokingly.

Hua Mulan was sweet in her heart, "That's right, don't look at who I am, I study very hard!"

Zhao Junsheng originally thought that Hua Mulan would pull people over first, and wait for the next morning to attack Songyugou. Unexpectedly, she launched a surprise attack on Songyugou overnight. The Yan army in Songyugou had no idea that Wei Jun would sneak attack at night. By the time she realized it, Hua Mulan had already climbed up the city wall with her men and horses.

The battle ended in the middle of the night. The two hundred Yan troops in Songyugou were all killed. The Wei army suffered little losses. Under the sneak attack, the Yan army was in disarray and could not prevent an effective defense. The Wei army paid the price of dozens of people. Take back this pass.

Yuyang County, Prefect's Mansion.

The hall was full of people, but everyone's face was extremely dignified. The Wei army implemented the fortified walls to clear the fields, cut off the grain roads, and then recaptured the border passes continuously.

"Until now, they have taken back three passes! Marshal, the last general boldly speculates that Zhao Junsheng is going to cut off our way back. He wants to keep us in Yuyang completely and prevent our reinforcements from coming. , let us become a lone army!" Lieutenant General Feng Yu reported to Zhang Xing.

Shang Guoyuan stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Commander, I have heard a news these two days that the Emperor of Wei has ordered [-] troops to reinforce Youzhou, and the [-] troops have already passed Wuruan Pass!"

"What?" Zhang Xing's expression changed, and he immediately asked, "Where did you get this news? Is it reliable?"

Guo Yuan said: "It came out unintentionally when a merchant in the city was drinking in a restaurant. The lower official was there at the time. Afterwards, the lower official arrested the merchant and interrogated him. He said that the news was brought back by his nephew who stayed in Pingcheng. Yes, these days, if you want to make money in business, you must have insight into the imperial government's decree, and many merchants have sent people in Pingcheng to inquire about the latest decree issued by the imperial court, so as to receive the news in time!"

"For example, Commander-in-Chief, you can see that Wei Guo sent [-] troops to reinforce Youzhou this time, so Youzhou's demand for various materials will increase, and the prices will naturally rise. Merchants will take advantage of getting the news before others to hoard materials. So earn a lot of money!"

"The lower officials also sent spies to infiltrate Ji County and the surrounding counties, and found that prices are indeed rising, and the speed of rising is still very fast!"

Zhang Xing couldn't sit still anymore, he got up and walked back and forth in the hall holding the hilt of his sword.

Qin Du suggested: "Marshal, Zhao Junsheng's main force should be in the border area. If we send a heavy force to attack, we will surely be able to catch his tail. After we defeat him, we will find a way to deal with the 5 reinforcements from the Wei army. Centaur!"

The news that Wei Guo sent [-] more troops to Youzhou has yet to be confirmed, but Zhang Xing did not have the time to send someone to further confirm it. If Zhao Junsheng was allowed to take back all the border passes, his Yan army would really Became alone.

Is it going to send troops to find Zhao Junsheng's main force for a decisive battle, or...

If he wanted to fight Zhao Junsheng decisively, Zhang Xing was also worried that the elite cavalry of the Wei army that had disappeared would suddenly show up.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Xing made a decision that surprised everyone.

That night, the Yan army in the camps inside and outside the city of Yuyang County quietly left.

The cover disappeared without a trace, and more than 5000 horses just disappeared.
