my wife is mulan

What a pair of old foxes!Zhao Junsheng cursed inwardly, waved his hands and said casually: "Maybe I went out to find a clean place to practice, and you also know that these two old ghosts are Taoists, and they often do some supernatural things, don't worry about it." them!"

The generals thought of the virtues of these two old ghosts in their daily lives, and they were afraid that they were really what Zhao Junsheng said, so they didn't mention them any more.

Lai Daqian said: "Well, let's not bother with them, let's talk about ours! By the way, Tuobaqiu, didn't you want to lead troops to chase and kill the traitor Zhu Xiuzhi? Why haven't you left yet?"

Tuobaqiu was not stupid, he was straightforward at the time, and he realized it afterwards, if he led troops to chase after Zhu Xiuzhi, but these people led their troops to retreat, wouldn't it mean leaving his group of troops in Liaodong?That would be dangerous, and he immediately decided not to pursue Zhu Xiuzhi.

He shook his head and said, "The soldiers have been exhausted from attacking the city for the past few days, so how can they have the strength to chase and kill Zhu Xiuzhi? Wait until the soldiers have rested for two days to recover enough energy before chasing them, they won't be able to escape either!"

Nima's!Lai Daqian really wanted to kill someone, but he could only hold it back. Things that had been agreed could be changed. What else could this group of people do?

Lai Daqian held back his anger and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it! Let's talk about business. Now that His Majesty is dead, what should we people do?"

?Should we continue to stay and attack the city?Until the dragon city is broken, should we prepare to return to the imperial court, and return to the imperial court after the corpses of His Majesty and the ministers accompanying the army are buried in a few days?Let's all talk about it! "

Zhao Junsheng immediately said: "I think we should continue to attack the city until we break through Longcheng and destroy Beiyan! Everyone, please think about it, because of this Eastern Expedition, His Majesty died, and a prince, a duke, and ministers accompanying the army died. There are so many casualties, most of the imperial court is finished here, if we go back like this, how will we explain to the imperial court? How will we explain to the subjects in the world? Face, you have to fight for face for future generations, right?"

To be honest, Zhao Junsheng didn't want to be loyal to the Northern Wei Dynasty. The emperors in succession didn't have a good thing. The upper class and nobles of Xianbei were too defensive against the Han people. Mothers.

But...if we withdraw this time, it will not be so easy to destroy Beiyan. The Northern Wei Dynasty lost an emperor, a clan prince, a duke and almost all the ministers accompanying the army in this battle, not only The morale of the army will be hit hard, and the whole country will feel like a mourner. I am afraid that if this is the case, they will be unable to carry out the Eastern Expedition for at least three to five years.

Furthermore, the death of Tuoba Jian would inevitably plunge his brother and nephew into the vortex of the struggle for the throne, and his son was too young, a bad one might cause the Northern Wei Dynasty to fall apart.

What would be the impact on Zhao Junsheng if he retreated without taking Beiyan?Of course it has influence. He is the governor of Youzhou, and his territory is close to Beiyan. Once Beiyan recovers, he will take advantage of the weakness of the Northern Wei Dynasty to retaliate wildly, and his Youzhou will bear the brunt.

That's why Zhao Junsheng thought about taking advantage of these soldiers and horses, trying his best to break through Longcheng and wipe out Beiyan completely.

Zhao Junsheng used words to hold these generals in command, making them embarrassed to propose the idea of ​​​​withdrawing the troops.

Lai Daqian asked: "The casualties in the previous siege were too great. If you want to continue the siege, you must change the siege method. I wonder what General Zhao can do?"

Chapter 539

Zhao Junsheng said: "Come on, general, let's talk about whether to stay or go first? If we stay and continue to attack the city until the Dragon City is broken, we can discuss how to attack the city now; if we withdraw, then we can discuss how to withdraw!"

Lai Daqian knew that Zhao Junsheng had hit the point, and all the generals present were faced with this choice, should they stay or go?This issue must be decided as soon as possible, and it cannot be delayed. If it is delayed for one more day, the news of the emperor's death and the deaths and injuries of the ministers accompanying the army will increase the risk of leakage.

"Everyone, this general thinks what General Zhao said is very true. We have to make a choice, whether to go or stay. Now everyone express your opinion!" Lai Daqian looked at the crowd and said.

All the generals fell silent. If they said they didn't want to fight anymore and wanted to withdraw, it would be tantamount to admitting that they were shameless. The emperor and the ministers accompanying the army were all dead, and they still had the face to go back. Aren't they afraid of being poked at the spine and making jokes?

If you are willing to stay, how will you fight this battle?It is obvious that the Yan army is very good at defending the city. It is not easy to break through the fortified city with 5 to 2 people defended by [-] people. up?

Hua Mulan saw the expressions of these generals, and asked angrily: "What's the matter? Isn't everyone very good at ordinary times? Don't you take anyone seriously? Now you have a choice to make." Is it so difficult? Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking, you want to preserve your strength but don’t want to bear the infamy! You want to be a cousin and set up an archway! It’s disgusting!”

Hua Mulan's heart was straightforward, and her words directly stabbed the hearts of the generals.

The generals couldn't hold back their faces at this moment, and Hexi Jing couldn't help it first, slapped the short guy in front of him, stood up and said angrily: "Fart! Hua Mulan, don't underestimate people, I, Hexi Jing, stand upright, and I will definitely fight without ambiguity." ..."

Hua Mulan also slapped the table face to face, gong to gong, drum to drum: "Then you choose to fight, what are you doing? If you are still a man, and you still admit that you are a man, you stay and kill the dragon If you don’t dare to fight, for fear of losing your strength, I, Hua Mulan, will leave my words today, and you are a coward, I look down on you!"

"You..." He Xijing's face flushed red, how could he stand being despised by a woman to such an extent?I only felt the blood rushing to the top of my head, and I yelled on the spot: "Okay, I will leave my words here, and I will never withdraw my troops if I don't take Longcheng down. If I violate this oath, it will be like this case!" The sword split the dwarf in front of him into two pieces.

Hua Mulan looked at Tuoba Qi: "Mr. Hejian, what about you? You won't be inferior to Hexi Jing, right?"

These words are too hurtful, no matter how cowardly Tuoba Qi is, he can't admit it anymore, and immediately shouted: "I will not be able to compare with him? Pull me and his troops to attack the city, and see who will admit it first!"

He Xijing was also angry: "Just compare, you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Okay, that's it!" Hua Mulan clapped her hands, "The fight will start today, He Xijing will fight the west gate, Tuoba Qi will fight the north gate, whoever withdraws first will be a bastard!"

Tuoba Qi glanced at He Xijing, snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the main hall to prepare to attack the city, He Xi Jing naturally did not dare to show weakness, this was not the time to admit cowardice, and immediately followed out.

The others looked at each other.

Hua Mulan glanced at the others, and said slowly: "Everyone, He Xijing and Tuoba Qi attacked the west gate and north gate today, shouldn't they be changed tomorrow? They have already set an example, each of you Conceited in martial prowess, you won’t be compared by the two of them, right? Tomorrow, General Zhao and I will attack the south gate, who will attack the east gate?”

Lai Daqian said in a deep voice, "I'll hit the east gate!"

"Okay, General Lai is indeed the elder of the three dynasties, and he has set an example. Mulan admires him!" Hua Mulan praised.

Lai Daqian said with a cold face: "How to fight? You can't fight like before, can you? Little girl, this general is not those two bastards, don't fool me!"

Zhao Junsheng took over Hua Mulan's words and answered Lai Daqian's question: "It is up to the generals to decide how to fight. Everything should be done to minimize their own casualties and cause more damage to the defenders. You are all veterans who have experienced many battles. , don’t you want me and Mulan to teach you how to fight?”

"However, Zhao is here to remind everyone that letting you control the scale and the heat does not mean that we can work without effort and waste time in order to preserve our strength. We don't have much time, and now it's late September. Now, we only have half a month at most, and we must end the war before the cold current hits the south, otherwise when the cold current hits, we will not be able to escape even if we want to, and it will be a catastrophe at that time!"

Weijuan stood up and said, "That's it. When you finish fighting tomorrow, it's our turn the day after tomorrow!"

After the military meeting ended, everyone left one after another. Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan came out of the hall. He said to Hua Mulan, "Let's go to Hexijing to see how he attacked the city?"

Hua Mulan readily agreed: "Okay, He Xijing has such a temper, I want to see what he is capable of!"

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "A big temper doesn't mean a great ability!"

"No way?" Hua Mulan was taken aback, "Isn't it said that a person with great ability also has a big temper?"

"What you're talking about is the general situation. In my opinion, He Xijing is just the opposite! He's not very capable, but his temper is not small!"

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he talked about what happened in the hall just now, "Mulan, you used the aggressive technique today very cleverly. He Xi Jing and Tuoba Qi have high eyes and big tempers, but they have no skills. All the people in the world were inspired by you to succeed! In the presence, only your words can have an effect, and no one else can. Today, you can be regarded as a rescue for Lai Daqian!"

Hua Mulan said: "I don't think Daqian is very happy!"

"That's for sure, because you stole his limelight!"

Hua Mulan couldn't help complaining: "This old thing, rely on the old to sell the old!"

When the two arrived outside the west gate, He Xijing was directing the soldiers to carry the siege ladder to attack the city. He saw Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng approaching, frowned and said, "What's the matter? I'm worried, so I came here to supervise the general? I'm worried about the general. Can't work hard?"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "No, no, we just came here to take a look and learn the siege tactics from General Hexi. You just take command, don't worry about us, you can fight as you want!"

"Hmph, it's not too bad!" He Xijing snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan.

He Xijing's command has slightly changed from before, he is no longer so eager for quick success, the siege steps are very clear, step by step in an orderly manner, but the problem is that the soldiers' fighting qualities can't keep up with him, and he can't realize his tactical intentions.

The battle lasted for a day, and He Xijing's soldiers did not suffer a lot of casualties, but they did not cause much damage to the Yan army either.

Tuoba Qi is similar. When Emperor Tuoba Jian was alive, he wanted to destroy the city too much, so he ordered the generals not to count casualties, which caused great losses to the soldiers. Now there is no strict order from the emperor, and they can freely decide how to attack the city. Strength and intensity.

As for the effect of the siege, they also know that it is not very satisfactory.

There is no way around this. If a city is so easy to break through, what is the use of building the city walls?Although the defenders are in a passive position, they can make full use of the high walls and thick walls to defend the city, so as to kill and injure the attacking enemy troops in large numbers. Usually, the attacking side has five times the strength of the defending side to have enough capital to attack the city. It also shows that the proportion of casualties is not small.

After fighting for five days in a row, almost all the generals fought for two rounds, but none of them was able to attack the city, including Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan who were relatively good at attacking the city. This made all the generals very discouraged.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan also failed to command the soldiers to attack the city. This was not because of their poor command ability, but because of two reasons: the first

First, the Yan army defended impeccably under the command of Guo Sheng, and was very good at defending the city. Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan could not find any flaws; second, the soldiers they commanded were all cavalry, and they did not know how to fight on foot. Not to mention attacking the city!
