my wife is mulan

Hua Mulan raised her head and asked, "Hua Hai, how many people did we lose this time?"

Hua Hai turned his head and counted the number of people in the lounge, and counted the people on guard downstairs and on the roof, "General, thirteen people have been lost, and there are still 29 left!"

Oil lamps were lit on the wall to illuminate Hua Mulan's face. She had a miserable face, and said with a sad smile: "There were 200 people here, but now there are only 30 people left. I, Hua Mulan, underestimated this Lu Long. The strength of the Sai Yan army made all the brothers follow me into a deep siege, I am sorry for everyone!"

A very long clasped his fists: "General, don't blame yourself. Since we chose to follow the general, we have already ignored life and death. Even if we die here, we will be a good man again after 18 years!"

Chapter 498

Hua Mulan looked at the determination on the faces of the only 30 people left in front of her. She didn't say anything, and told Huahai: "This may be the last food and water we can collect. Distribute them uniformly and save money." Eat lightly, we will at least survive tomorrow!"

"Yes, General!"

"Divide into two shifts and take turns to be on duty. For two hours at a time, everyone must maintain their spirits. Tomorrow will be the biggest test for us! Huahai, you come to arrange the shift arrangement. You and I will each lead a shift! "

Huahai quickly divided everyone into two shifts, each with 15 people. Huahai led one shift to stay in the middle of the night, while Hua Mulan led the other shift to stay in the second half of the night.

Before taking a break, Hua Mulan climbed to the top of the building and asked the guarding soldiers: "How is the situation?"

"Back to the general, the Yan army has all retreated, but they still have a large number of troops to stare at us nearby, there are many archers!"

Hua Mulan was a little relieved, and when she returned to rest, she lay down on the ground and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Before she could fall asleep, she and the soldiers in the waiting room heard a shrill scream from afar, which was clearly transmitted in the night.

Hua Mulan turned over and ran up to the top of the building and asked loudly, "Where is the sound coming from?"

A soldier in charge of security replied: "General, the screams just now seem to have come from the mountains!"

Hua Mulan was taken aback, "Could it be that rescuers came from the mountains? How could this ignorant person go up the mountain? It's too risky!"

After the scream, there was no further movement for a quarter of an hour, and Hua Mulan returned to the lounge with doubts.

At this time, in the mountains and forests, the deputy general of the right wing army, Pu Zhen, slowly climbed up with five hundred carefully selected soldiers. Just now, one of the soldiers accidentally slipped, and the whole person rolled down. There was a shrill scream, but it stopped abruptly soon, I'm afraid it was more ominous than good.

"Fortunately, General Hua tied a rope and let it down when they climbed up. We can pull the rope to climb, otherwise this ignorant person would not be able to climb the mountain at all!" Pu Zhen sighed as he climbed.

A vigorous and agile soldier was exploring the way ahead. He stopped and turned his head and said to Pong Zhen in a low voice: "General, we have arrived. Ten feet further up is the city wall. Below the city wall are ten corpses left by General Hua and the others." Wooden ladders, but they were all pushed down by the Yan army!"

"It's okay, let's put the wooden ladder up again!"

After finishing speaking, Pu Zhen got up and shouted to the back in a low voice: "Go!"

There is a slope under the city wall, there are too many chaotic stones, and the speed of the soldiers of the Wei army cannot be increased at all. With this kind of terrain, in fact, it is not from here to attack at all. The existence of the slope is too great for the siege. It is more than double the difficulty of attacking the city on flat ground, but Pu Zhen and the others have no other way.

When about half of the soldiers of the Wei army had climbed to the base of the city wall, and the other half were climbing up, a little light suddenly appeared on the city wall.

With a "swish", a little light from you shot down the city wall like a meteor.

With a bang, it was a rocket just now, and it hit a pile of pyre drenched in kerosene under the city wall. The pyre was instantly ignited, emitting a strong flame, and nearly half of the soldiers of the Wei army were exposed.

There was a loud roar on the city wall: "Shoot the arrow!"

"Swish..." There were a lot of bowstring strikes and the sound of archery penetrating the air.

The Wei army under the city wall was shot by arrows one after another, some fell to the ground and died silently after being shot, some were shot and survived on the spot, screaming pitifully.

"No, it's been tricked, there's an ambush!" A Wei army officer shouted.

Pu Zhen shouted: "Archers come up, suppress them!"

A group of archers climbed up and shot arrows at the invisible city wall one after another. They didn't know whether they hit the enemy, but they could see these Wei army archers who had just been transferred were hit by the arrows shot down from the city wall one by one.

The casualties of the Wei army are getting bigger and bigger, but the servants under the city wall and the soldiers of the Wei army can't see the situation on the city wall at all. They are completely exposed at this moment.

Under the Yan army attack.

One of the generals yelled: "General, you can't fight like this. This is letting the brothers die!"

The servant was so anxious that he wanted to jump, but he couldn't think of any good way, so he could only grit his teeth and shout: "Get out, get out!"

Wei Jun withdrew in extreme embarrassment, and waited for Puzhen to withdraw back down the mountain with his troops. After counting, he found that more than a hundred people had been killed or injured in just such a short time. The remaining nearly 400 people returned to the camp in despair. After returning to the camp, they were ridiculed by He Duoluo.

Upstairs on the cloud tower, Hua Mulan watched with heartache the figure of Puzhen leading his troops away from the forest, leaving behind more than a hundred corpses of his comrades. She knew that Puzhen wanted to rescue her and the trapped soldiers, but this The method no longer works, and the Yan army is already prepared.

Just now she wanted to take the remaining 30 people out to join Pu Zhen and others, but she was surrounded by Chang Kun himself. Back off, she lost six more for it, and now she's down to 24.

On the east bank of Rushui, the Youzhou military camp.

Zhao Junsheng led the Youzhou army across the Rushui at dusk. Originally, he planned to order his soldiers to rush to Lulongsai in one go. If he really wanted to attack Lulongsai, his 30 Youzhou army would not be lacking, so after crossing the river, he set up camp by the river, planning to camp again for one night, and then left the camp early tomorrow morning to rush to Lulongsai to join the main force of the North Route Army.

It was already late at night, and Zhao Junsheng was leading Cao Jiao, Bai Jinguang, Yuchi Yandong and a group of generals to patrol the camp.

A security post galloped into the camp on horseback, and he quickly found Zhao Junsheng and his party.

"My lord, my subordinates found a man riding a horse towards the camp in the field. He said he wanted to see the general. He said his surname was Lu!"

When Zhao Junsheng heard it, he knew it was Lu Xuanbo, so he told the cavalryman: "Take him to Yazhang and wait for the general!"

"Yes, General!"

Soon after Zhao Junsheng finished his camp tour, he dismissed his troops and returned to Yazhang.

When Lu Xuanbo saw Zhao Junsheng walking in, he cupped his fists and said, "Master!"

Zhao Junsheng asked in surprise, "Didn't you be told to protect Mulan? Why did you come to my place late at night?"

"Young Master, Young Madam is in trouble, big trouble!"

Zhao Junsheng's expression changed, "Tell me in detail!"

Lu Xuanbo immediately explained Hua Mulan's current situation.

Zhao Junsheng's face showed a look of worry that he had never seen before, but he still managed to calm down and questioned Lu Xuanbo: "Are you sure that Mulan is just trapped in Lulongsai's cloud tower and has no life?" worry?"

"The subordinates took advantage of the darkness to sneak under the city wall. When Pu Zhen led people to sneak attack and was discovered, the subordinates saw the figure of the young lady appearing on the cloud tower. They must not be wrong! The young lady is fine now, but tomorrow will come It’s hard to say, when she led people to sneak attack, she didn’t bring dry food and water, even if she was not injured, just hunger and lack of water can make her lose her combat power!”

Zhao Junsheng's face was unprecedentedly solemn, "It would be great if you came before dusk. We hadn't crossed the river at that time. We can turn north to attack Lulongzhai. After passing through Lulongzhai, go north and cross Rushui eastward. We will be able to reach outside Lulongsai pass before Xu time. At this time, most of Lulongsai's defenders should be deployed on the city wall on the inner side of the pass to guard against the main force of the Northern Route Army. The city wall can break through Lulong Sai and rescue Mulan."

Lulongsai has never been just a pass. It includes two dangerous places, Lulongzhai and Linlanxing. Lulongzhai's name in later generations is Panjiakou. Throughout history, the two battles of Lulongzhai and Lin Lanxing have always been connected together. As long as one is broken, the other will not lose its effect.

Lu Xuanbo asked anxiously, "Then what should we do now?"

Zhao Junsheng took a deep breath, "At this time, if you turn around and attack Lulongzhai, you will have to cross the river twice.

Hurry up, soldiers and livestock are easily washed away by the river! "

Lu Xuanbo asked: "Why don't we go directly to the north by boat, why do we need to attack Lulongzhai?"
