my wife is mulan

After a long time, Zhao Junsheng said: "This Pinggang City is now a hard nut to crack. Mulan, why don't you and I stay with the Youzhou Army to help you capture this Pinggang City, and then send our troops north to the northwest to attack Fancheng ,what do you think?"

Hua Mulan is a person with a strong nature. If Zhao Junsheng and the Youzhou Army stay, she is worried that someone in the right wing army will see her jokes, so she waved her hand and said, "No, it's just a Pinggang City. It's not a problem for me." I appreciate brother Junsheng's kindness, you still have combat missions, you can't delay your combat missions because of me!"

Zhao Junsheng was a little worried: "Is there really no need for me and the Youzhou Army to stay?"

"It's really not necessary!"

Chapter 508

Zhao Junsheng and the Youzhou army did not stop at Pinggang, and directly bypassed Pinggang and marched towards Fancheng.

After walking for more than ten miles, Zhao Junsheng rode his horse to the side of the road to let the army pass.

Lu Xuanbo rode over and asked, "Young Master, are you worried that Young Madam will not be able to attack Pinggang?"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look in the direction of Pinggang, "It's a trivial matter if we can't capture Pinggang. After we capture Fancheng and level the northwest area of ​​Yan Kingdom, it won't be too late to go back and attack Pinggang. As for King Changshan, I have reasons to prevaricate In the past, no matter how you look at it, this matter was not easy, and I was worried that he would fall into the trap of Yan State."

Lu Xuanbo asked doubtfully, "What do you mean, young master?"

Zhao Junsheng explained: "Since we entered Youzhou, everything seems to be going too smoothly. The Yan Kingdom has not only implemented a strong wall to clear the country, but also concentrated its forces to guard the strong city. It is obvious that it has a complete strategy to deal with our attack. If a plan wants to be successful, a single strategy can be easily seen through. I think the Yan Kingdom must have some other tricks, but I have received too little information so I can't deduce their follow-up plan."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Junsheng looked at Lu Xuanbo: "Old Lu, I don't worry about Mulan's place, please stay and watch. If there is anything here, please notify me immediately!"

Lu Xuanbo agreed: "Understood!"

Lu Xuanbo turned his horse around and galloped towards Pinggang.

When his figure gradually blurred, Zhao Junsheng waved to Li Bao, "Where are Gao Xu's men now?"

Li Bao clasped his fists and said, "I contacted Xinying two days ago, they should be about two hundred miles west of us now!"

Zhao Junsheng ordered: "Contact Gao Xu and let him lead the army to speed up and join us in Fancheng!"

"Yes, General!"

Yang Wu.

General Yao Zhao of the Yan Army is still waiting for the news of the scouts. He has always been uneasy about Tuobasu's main force. There can be more than 3 horses on the North Road. This time, Hua Mulan, Zhao Junsheng, and He Duoluo only He brought less than 1 people, and there are more than 2 troops in Tuobasu's hands. If he doesn't understand Tuobasu's intentions and movements, he will always have trouble sleeping and eating.

Yao Zhao was walking back and forth in the lobby with an anxious expression on his face. The longer the delay, the more difficult it would be for him to execute the battle plan.

At this moment, a soldier ran in quickly: "Report—General Qi, the spies came to report and found the main movement of Wei Jun's main general Tuobasu. They had quietly left Baitan to take a path to Jiande County, leaving The next empty battalion will deceive our scouts in Baitan!"

Yao Zhao was taken aback when he heard the words, then raised his head and laughed loudly: "Hahaha... this old bastard Tuobasu has become confused, God help me, God help me!"

Tuobasu was indeed a bit overbearing this time. He thought that he had a strong army, so he didn't pay attention to the Yan army. He even took the main force to take a small road to Jiande County. The small road here is not a country road, but a mountain road. It is extremely difficult to march on small roads, and there is no way to carry a large amount of food and supplies.

Moreover, this battle is in the enemy's territory, not a local battle. This is the home field of the Yan army. The Yan army knows the terrain, customs and customs here very well, and can inquire about news at any time.

Tuobasu thought that his actions were carried out very secretly, but he didn't know that there were fungus from the Yan army everywhere, and their actions had already been discovered by Yan army spies.

Tuobasu did this with good intentions. His purpose was to wipe out the forces in the east and north of Yan Kingdom as quickly as possible, and create favorable conditions for Emperor Tuobajian to attack Dragon City. You must know that the emperor's expedition to Yan Kingdom this time is Those who came to be gilded were here to collect credit, and to establish their prestige. As the most loyal clan minister of the Tuoba family, Tuoba had the responsibility and obligation to help the emperor complete this step, so as to consolidate the rule of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The counselor and Shangshu Jida waited for Yao Zhao to finish his smile, stood up and cupped his hands and said with a smile, "General, you can rest assured now. Before the general leads the troops, you need to see the news that Tuoba Su led the main force of the Wei army to take a small path to White Wolf City." Duke Yongning will do it!"

Yao Zhao was taken aback, then laughed again: "Wonderful, wonderful! General Zhang and this general suffered a big loss in Youzhou last time, I think he will not let this chance of revenge, right?

Please also ask Mr. Ji to write a handwritten letter, and send someone in the name of this general to send it to White Wolf City as soon as possible, how about it? "

Ji Da bowed his hands and agreed: "Obey!"

Yao Zhao asked the lieutenant again, "Is there any news from Pinggang City?"

"Return to General, the spies reported yesterday that Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng's troops are more than 30 miles away from Pinggang City, and they must have arrived in Pinggang City today!"

Yao Zhao immediately said: "Okay! Send me an order to assemble four thousand cavalry, carry dry food for three days, and send troops to Pinggang in an hour's time!"

"Follow the order!"

Four thousand cavalry?This is almost all the soldiers and horses in Yangwu City. If Yao Zhaoruo took away 4000 troops, there were only 200 people left in Yangwu City. For a city, how useful would two hundred defenders be?But Yao Zhao's order had been issued, and Ji Da was worried that Yao Zhao would be unhappy if he tried to dissuade him. He could only hope that the 800 people sent to Shimengou to stop He Duoluo's army could stop He Duoluo's troops.

Shimengou, the only way to Yangwu, is not a ditch, but named because of its dangerous terrain and being sandwiched between two mountains, and because there is a protruding stone wall between the two mountains. , the stone wall is as smooth as a mirror, like two gates, so it is named Shimengou.

He Duoluo brought [-] leading soldiers to the outside of Shimengou, and a scout sentry flew over to report: "General, there is an ambush in the valley, and the exact strength of the enemy army is unknown!"

"Is there an ambush? If you don't know the strength of the troops, go check it out. If you find out, come and report it!"

"General, I can't find out. The enemy army is hiding on the mountain. Brothers go up and die one by one!"

He Duoluo had no excuse to stop marching, and he was worried that Yangwu's Yan army would not have enough time to deal with Hua Mulan, so now he had an excuse, and immediately ordered: "Stop advancing, and set up camp on the spot!"

When the soldiers heard that there was an ambush in the valley ahead, they had no doubts about He Duoluo's order, and each of them started to camp and get busy.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Master Liu said to He Duoluo: "General, the next step will be easy. Send elite spies to find out the strength of the Yan army stationed here, and then decide whether to fight for real or fake!"

He Duoluo thought so deeply, "It makes sense, it makes sense!"

He sent elite soldiers to sneak up the mountain in the middle of the night to investigate, and finally found out the number of troops deployed by the Yan army here.

800 people, [-] on each side of the mountain. The two mountains here are not very dangerous mountains. There are many positions that can be attacked. If they really want to attack, He Duoluo is sure to take them within two or three days.

The next day, He Duoluo sent a team of people to make a tentative attack, fought for a while and then retreated. No one was missing, only a few people sprained their feet when they retreated.

Next, He Duoluo's attack was just a show, and the momentum was very lively. In fact, the soldiers only shouted loudly when they received the order, but they didn't stop and go when they were climbing the mountain. After walking a few steps, he hid himself tightly, and every time he rushed to the middle of the mountain, he pretended to retreat.

This kind of offensive is basically grinding foreign labor, and has no offensive power.

Outside Pinggang City, the right wing army camp.

It was already the afternoon of the second day after the army arrived here.

"Everyone, it's been a day since we arrived here, and you've all checked the defenses of Pinggang City. What's your plan to take it down?"

Facing Hua Mulan's questioning, the generals in the army began to discuss in low voices.

The general of the second building stood up and said: "General, the city wall of Pinggang is at least three feet high, and there is a watchtower every twenty feet. It is not easy to break through it, and the subordinates have not thought of any good solution, and think that it is better to discuss this matter in the long run!"

Another building general said: "General, I heard that the troops from several nearby counties are concentrated here. At least there are 3000 troops, and we only have 3000. We can attack a city with 3000 troops with [-] troops. I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed, so I will report to King Changshan and ask for an additional [-] troops based on the opinion of the last general."

Wu Dade, who joined the army, stood up and said: "General, if you encounter a little difficulty, you need to increase your troops and ask for reinforcements."

, will only be looked down upon by King Chang Shan!There are [-] regular defenders in this city, and [-] to [-] people. At a critical moment, they can also deploy young and strong to help defend the city. It is almost impossible to forcefully break through the city with our small force. The opinions of subordinates can only be outsmarted, not invincible! "

Hua Mulan finally heard some reliable words, looked at Wu Dade and asked, "What is Wu's suggestion for joining the army?"

Wu Dade clasped his fists and said: "This subordinate is thinking, is it possible to find a way to draw the defenders out of the city and annihilate them? For example, if we send most of the troops to other places and let the defenders see them, the majority of the troops will set up an ambush in one place, and our army will use a small amount The troops clamored for battle outside the city. If the Yan army went out to fight, our army would pretend to be defeated and flee. If the enemy pursued and killed them, our army would lead them into an ambush..."

Wu Dade didn't finish his sentence, but most of the people present knew what he meant.
