Fierce fights were still taking place on the outermost walls on both sides of the Wangri Tower, but the Yan army was able to hold less and less territory. The Wei army advanced step by step, stepping on corpses and blood to compress the Yan army's activity space.

With a sound of "噗嗤", a sharp blade suddenly pierced Wan Ling's body from behind.

"You..." Wan Ling slowly turned his head to look at the person behind him, only said one thing, his eyes began to lose sight, and he fell down slowly.

A soldier pointed a knife at the assailant and shouted: "Huang Kangyuan, you are so brave, you dare to assassinate the general, brothers, kill him with me!"

I saw Huang Kangyuan yelling: "I heard that Lu Longsai can't hold on anymore. I believe you have all seen it. We have tried our best after so many brothers died. We are worthy of the Feng family. Everyone still has a family." Xiao, do you want everyone to die here? It is up to General Wan to be loyal to the Feng family, but he wants to drag us to accompany us.

Burial, are we born to die? "

General Zhuang said loudly at this time: "Okay, General Wan is dead, if you don't want to die, just surrender with me!"

The city was broken, and the rest of the Yan army dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground and raised their hands to surrender. The Wei army who attacked the city was restrained by Cao Jiao's order not to kill the prisoners.

The fire outside the Yunlou was extinguished, and there was still a trace of fireworks rising. Zhao Junsheng sat at the entrance of the Yunlou without any image, staring blankly at the bones in the building.

Li Bao came over and said in a low voice: "General... Cao Jiao has defeated Lulongsai, and King Changshan has already led his troops into the city. He sent someone to send an order for the general to discuss matters."

Zhao Junsheng had no expression on his face, he waved his hands, and his tone was emotionless: "Tell King Changshan that I was injured, and if you have any orders after the discussion, just pass them on, and I won't go to the meeting!"

"······Yes!"

Li Bao looked at Zhao Junsheng's lonely back, sighed secretly in his heart, and waved to the surrounding soldiers, telling them to step back and leave Zhao Junsheng alone for a while.

After a long time, Zhao Junsheng got up slowly and approached Yunlou step by step.

On the first floor of Yunlou, all the corpses were burned to the bone. Zhao Junsheng wanted to find Hua Mulan's bones. Both Wei Jun and Yan Jun were men, and only Hua Mulan was a woman. Women's bones are different from men's bones. Yes, he believed he could find Hua Mulan's body.

He went through all the bones on the first floor, and none of them matched the characteristics of female bones.

He walked to the second floor. There were some charred corpses in the rest room on the second floor. He identified them one by one, and there was no Mulan.

When he came to the top of the building, he could even feel the heat of the walls. Even if the fire didn't reach here, the lack of oxygen and high temperature could still kill people here.

There were six charred corpses on the roof, exuding a strong and unpleasant smell.

"This isn't...this isn't...it's not...neither..."

Zhao Junsheng searched the entire Yunlou, but did not find Hua Mulan's body.

"Mulan—Mulan—" Zhao Junsheng raised his head and howled loudly.

"Here...brother..."

Zhao Junsheng was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head and looked around, as if someone responded again.

"We are here, brother Junsheng, here..."

Zhao Junsheng looked around. He went to the wall facing the north and looked down. He saw a group of people standing on the rocky hillside, and one of them was Hua Mulan. He was overjoyed: "Mulan!"

Chapter 502 Changshan King's Helplessness

"Brother Junsheng!" Hua Mulan was waving vigorously to Zhao Junsheng who was standing next to the wall on the top of the tower amidst the rocks.

Zhao Junsheng wept with joy, pulled out the dagger from his waist and jumped down.

"Ah—" Hua Mulan screamed when she saw this.

"Uncle!" Hua Hai's face changed greatly and he exclaimed.

The other twenty or so soldiers shouted in unison: "General!"

These people were scared to death, but they saw Zhao Junsheng jumped off the wall and then waved his dagger violently towards the outer wall of the city wall.

"嗤嗤嗤——" Driven by the gravity of Zhao Junsheng's body, the dagger slid down, rubbed against the wall and produced a large number of sparks, the speed of the body's descent was greatly reduced, and it easily reached the ground at a height of nearly 20 meters.

Zhao Junsheng landed on a rock, dropped his dagger, turned around and ran towards Hua Mulan quickly.

"Brother Junsheng, you are going to scare me to death. How can you just jump at such a high level?" Hua Mulan patted her chest and came forward.

Zhao Junsheng hugged her tightly in his arms and never let go.

With so many people watching from behind, Hua Mulan was very shy, but she could feel Zhao Junsheng's excitement, and she knew that he thought she was burned to death and that's why he lost his composure when he saw that she was still alive.

Hua Mulan didn't push Zhao Junsheng away, even though there were so many people present, she let go of the weapon in her hand, let the weapon fall to the ground with a clanging sound, and stretched out her arms to hug Zhao Junsheng's waist.

At the moment when the fire started, she also thought that she would be burned to death, that she was going to leave Zhao Junsheng, and she felt deeply reluctant and nostalgic in her heart.

After an unknown amount of time, a voice came from above: "General, General!"

The two parted from the reluctance, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan both smiled and stared at each other, he turned his head and shouted to Yunlou: "Li Bao, put down the rope and pull us up!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Junsheng turned around and asked Hua Mulan, "Mulan, I thought you all...why are you hiding here?"

Hua Mulan said: "The Yan army has been besieging us from yesterday morning until late at night. Just now when you launched the siege, the Yan army wanted to transfer troops here to reinforce the city wall defense, but they could leave us here. They didn't care. If there is no way to attack, I came up with this method of attacking with fire, trying to burn us all to death in the Yunlou!"

"I thought we were doomed at first, but then we thought of a way, that is, we collected some clothes and connected them into ropes and lowered them towards the city wall here, and we slipped down along the ropes. Later, the fire became bigger and bigger, waiting for us They all went down inside, and the ropes connected by the cloth were scorched into ashes, and we wanted to climb up after the fire was extinguished, but there were no ropes, and there was a cliff in front of us, so we were trapped here!"

Zhao Junsheng heard Xiang Yunlou and glanced up, "This time you are lucky, you must not take such a risk again in the future, if the city wall on the mountain is so easy to attack, wouldn't the barbarians want to enter the pass as if entering a vegetable garden? "

Hua Mulan said: "We are already about to reach the Wangri Tower on the main city wall. If it wasn't for a general of the Yan Army who is as powerful as me and restrains my martial arts, we must have succeeded!"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said: "I knew you would say that, you can't be superstitious about martial arts, force is not omnipotent, even if there is no general with comparable martial arts skills to you, the Yan army will definitely have other ways to deal with you, you and these soldiers What you are good at is cavalry warfare, and the Yan army's infantry warfare is well-trained. In terms of fighting for the city wall, you are no match at all. I heard from Lao Lu that the general of the Yan army indeed has more troops than you Some, but when they encountered each other on the city wall, there were only a few people who met face to face, and a large number of troops may not necessarily give you an advantage. Didn’t you notice that they pay attention to cooperation in combat? You have been suppressed and beaten, right?”

Hua Mulan really thought about it, the city wall is only two feet wide, no matter how many troops are put in, there are only seven or eight people who can directly confront each other. She led people up the city wall smoothly, because only a small number of defenders were encountered, but After encountering the 300 people led by Chang Kun, she was deflated. Chang Kun made her useless force and could not cause damage to other defenders.

Cooperating with the battle, Wei Jun, who had not been trained in infantry combat, could not resist it.

Li Bao's voice came from above his head: "General, we have let down the rope, just hold on to the rope, and we will pull you up!"

As soon as the words fell, the eight ropes hung down.

Hua Mulan immediately waved her hand and shouted to Huahai and the soldiers behind her, "You go first!"

This time it was a narrow escape for these people, the soldiers were not polite, and walked over one by one, the first group of people tied the ropes around their waists, and the soldiers on the Yunlou pulled the ropes up, The first group of people was quickly pulled up, followed by the second group, and Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan were the last group.

Finally returned to the Yunlou, Hua Mulan felt that she was alive after the catastrophe, so she breathed a sigh of relief and followed Zhao Junsheng downstairs.

In Lulongsai's garrison office, Tuobasu and the generals and officials of the Northern Route Army were surprised to see that Hua Mulan was still alive. Can Yunlou survive after being burnt down like that?

He Duo Luopi smiled, "General Hua is really lucky, congratulations on General Hua's safe return!"

"Thank you!" Hua Mulan replied with a stern face, clasped her fists at Tuobasu and said, "My lord, the general didn't think well, not only failed to help break through Lulongsai, but was besieged in Yunlou , now there are only about twenty of the two hundred brothers, it can be said that there are not one out of ten, and most of the brothers will die.

Of course, Tuobasu couldn't punish the crimes just because of this incident, and he couldn't punish the generals just because they didn't win the battle, he said: "You led the troops to attack the city wall on the top of the mountain with my consent. If you want to punish the crime, don't you have to punish the king first The crime? Those soldiers who died in battle deserved their death, and I cannot blame you for this matter!"
