my wife is mulan

The commander frowned and thought for a while, then ordered: "It's really meaningless for us to forcefully stop, and let the soldiers lose their lives in vain, but before we withdraw, we have to give them a little bit of a show, pass the order, and everyone will follow." I rushed over and shot those Rouran soldiers clearing the roadblocks!"

"Yes!"

A command flag was waved several times in the air, and after a few horns sounded, the commander pointed forward with the spear in his hand: "Follow me, shoot them, charge!"

"Come on—"

Under the leadership of the commander-in-chief, a thousand cavalrymen rushed to the Rouran soldiers who were clearing the roadblocks. They shot arrows while turning around, and the arrows shot out wave after wave. The soldiers were shot down.

After losing more than 200 people, the rest of the Rouran people turned around and fled.

Hu Hehan led thousands of cavalry behind to supervise the formation, he pulled out his scimitar with a cold face and shouted: "Command, those who retreat, kill—"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The Rouran infantry who were fleeing back were shot and killed by the war supervisors from the rear. More than 100 people were shot dead in a few breaths. The army rushed over.

On the way to clear the roadblocks, the Rouran infantry suffered heavy casualties. They were shot and killed by the dry army cavalry wave after wave. On the way to escape, more people were shot to death when clearing the roadblocks.

When the last roadblock was cleared, there were less than 1000 Rouran soldiers who had no horses in the original 3000. More than [-] people were shot to death by the dry army, and the ground was covered with corpses.

"General, look quickly, the Rouran cavalry is coming!" the deputy general shouted.

The commander took a look, turned his horse around and said, "Withdraw—"

Chapter 910 The Lost Team

Zhuoxie Mountain, at the northern foot.

In the forest, [-] cavalry cavalry rest here, and they are also waiting for the arrival of Rouran Khan Tuhezhen's army.

Zhao Junsheng concluded that Rouran's army must go here and return to the Khan Court, so he led his troops here early to wait for the rabbit.

Zhuoxie Mountain is a famous mountain. It is not famous for its picturesque scenery, but since the Han Dynasty, the army of the Central Plains went to Mobei to cross this mountain many times, and there are several clear records in the history books.

Why did the army go this way when they went to Mobei?Is there no other way to go?Of course there is, but it is the safest way to go. Entering Mobei from other directions almost has to pass through the large desert between Mobei and Monan, which is very dangerous.

Back then, Hua Mulan followed Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao directly from Bigan City to the north, crossed the south bed, crossed the desert and entered Mobei. The [-] army only brought [-] days of dry food and a few days of drinking water. It is extremely adventurous, if there is no guide who is familiar with the terrain and weather of the desert to lead the way, tens of thousands of troops may all be buried in the desert.

On the hillside at the northern foot of Zhuoxie Mountain, densely packed tents were set up, and the coniferous forests were densely packed on the hillside, covering these densely packed tents, they could not be seen from a distance.

Zhao Junsheng led the generals to patrol the camp on the hillside. Some soldiers hid in their tents and fell asleep, recharging their energy. Some soldiers woke up and were feeding their horses, and some had already fed their horses and sat together. Small talk in low voices.

When the chatting soldiers saw Zhao Junsheng and his party approaching, they all stopped talking and stood up one by one.

Zhao Junsheng pressed his hand to them, signaling them to sit down and continue.

Chang Kun stepped up to Zhao Junsheng's side and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's been two days, and the people from Rouran haven't come out of the mountain yet. They must be lost, right?"

Dongfang Chen on the right said: "General Chang's worries are too much. After all, this place is the territory of the Rouran people. They may not be familiar with every mountain, every set of mountain streams, and creeks, but they should still know some general information, and They will not be without a map in their hands! If they march at night, they may get lost, but if they march during the day, they will never get lost!"

Xu Yan, who was following behind, said at this time: "Your Majesty, I don't think they will get lost. What I am worried about is whether something will happen? Think about it, according to the normal situation, they should have come out of the mountain road this morning. , it has been almost half a day and we haven't come out, if something happens in the middle, we won't be able to get the news in time!"

Several people were discussing, at this time a knight came galloping from a distance on a horse. After running up and down, he jumped off the horse and quickly climbed up the hillside.

Not long after, the knight came to Zhao Junsheng out of breath and bowed down: "Your Majesty, something happened. The soldiers of our army who were ambushing in Yangchanggou have never seen the Rouran army coming. They didn't come until this morning. Feeling that there might be a change, so I sent someone to investigate, and at the same time sent someone to report to His Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, and he shouted, "Bring me the map!"

A royal guard brought a map of the mountains, and Zhao Junsheng took it and unfolded it to read.

After looking at it for a while, Zhao Junsheng said: "If the scouts made no mistakes in their exploration of the terrain, after entering the valley entrance there, there are only four exits. We have arranged four ambush sites on the way, the purpose is to Forcing them to follow the route we set, and now something has changed, so it is only possible that they discovered our intentions and did not follow the route we set!"

Why did Zhao Junsheng not want to use an ambush to annihilate Rouran's army in the mountains, but this kind of idea is impossible. The four ambush points he deployed have very few troops, and only a small number of troops can rush there as quickly as possible to set up an ambush , There are too many people and the marching speed is too slow, it is too late.

However, the number of ambushed people was too small, and it was impossible to wipe out the Rouran army. Therefore, the soldiers did not show up during the ambush, but only attacked with arrows, stones and logs. Too many, when they came back to their senses and organized troops to attack the mountain, Zhao Junsheng's deployment was in vain.

Seeing the ministers and generals frowning, Zhao Junsheng said, "You don't have to worry, we've made Rouran's human style frightened, and they're all soldiers. Even if they escape, they won't be able to make waves again!"

That's what I said, but this time the expedition cost a lot of money, and these ministers and generals also suffered a lot and suffered a lot of fright. If Rouran people just ran away like this, it would be really not reconciled.

Captain Nayan of the scout battalion walked over quickly and reported: "Your Majesty, we have found Su Ji and the soldiers he led out of the siege!"

"What? Where are they?" Zhao Junsheng asked immediately.

"Sixty miles to the northeast, it should be at the foothills of the most northwest end of Junji Mountain. Our scouts met the scout cavalry sent by Su Ji to scout the enemy. At first, we thought it was the enemy, but finally found out that it was our own people. Wait and ask." Only when you know it is Su Ji's person!"

Zhao Junsheng has been worried about the safety of Su Ji and the more than 4000 people he took away when he broke through the encirclement. It has been many days since one of them has not heard from them. He is not worried that they will be scattered by the Rouran people. He is worried that they will collapse due to lack of food.

It was late at night when Su Ji led more than 4000 people to break out of the siege, so he definitely did not carry much dry food. After so many days, the dry food he carried must have been eaten up long ago. If an army has no food and grass, the soldiers will not be able to maintain their stomachs if they are not full. Go on, collapse is a matter of time.

Zhao Junsheng was overjoyed, "Quickly send an order for Su Ji to come and join us with his troops!"

Nayan hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Su Ji and the others have already eaten up all their food and grass. They have been hungry for several days. These days they have been digging wild vegetables, cooking bark and fern roots in Junji Mountain, and hunting for food. The stomachs are full, and the soldiers are all hungry and thin..."

Dongfang Chen cupped his hands to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, I should send 1000 people to send them some grain and jerky, so that they can eat and drink enough, rest well, and come join us again!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and shook his head: "It will take at least two or three days to go here. You must know that the situation is changing rapidly. Maybe our main force will leave because of the change of the situation just after the delivery team is dispatched. We have to wait until we meet with Su Ji and the others. I don't know how long it will take! It's only sixty miles, and there are still horses. Could it be that they are so hungry that they can't walk for sixty miles? Send an order to Su Ji to bring his troops to meet up quickly. Prepare food for them here, and they can eat it as soon as they arrive!"

"Yes!"

Can't wait for the specific news from Rouran, and now there is news from Su Ji, Zhao Junsheng can only continue to wait where he is.

At night at Xu time, the scouts sent by Nayan led Su Ji, and Su Ji and his [-] cavalry finally arrived at the northern foot of Zhuoxie Mountain to join Zhao Junsheng's main force.

The food has been prepared a long time ago. It is a pot of thin batter, which is cooked with dried meat and wild vegetables. The soldiers who have been hungry for many days can only eat this first. Food that is too dry and too hard Easy to go wrong.

After Su Ji had dinner, he was ordered to have an audience with the commander-in-chief.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "Excuse me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "General Xue and the news of the death of more than ten thousand soldiers under his command, do you know?"

Su Ji nodded, "I heard that General Xue had a chance to break out of the siege, but he chose to stay in order to cover the minister and these four thousand soldiers, and left the opportunity to us!"

Zhao Junsheng comforted: "If necessary, I believe you will choose to draw the enemy away without hesitation so that Xue Andu and the others can break through. Don't feel guilty. I have heard about the course of the battle from Xue Andu's son Xue Huan. Long said that leaving the hope of life to his comrades on the battlefield is a fearless spirit, and the Daqian Empire needs this spirit! Also, Xue Huanlong said that Xue An had been seriously injured before breaking through. You know you can’t survive, so you decided to let him distract the enemy’s attention, so that you can organize your troops to break through! What you have to do now is to survive and defeat the Rouran people. Only in this way can Xue An smile at Jiuquan!”

"Yes!"

The next day, the casualties were over.

It has been a whole day since there was any news related to the Rouran people, and the ministers are a little anxious.

Zhao Junsheng was sitting on a horse bar in the shade of a tree, drinking horse milk tea quietly. He knew that other people could be anxious, but he couldn't, at least he couldn't show it on the surface. As an emperor and commander in chief, in this situation You must keep calm, only by keeping calm can the soldiers feel at ease. If he, the emperor, panics, the soldiers will probably lose their minds.
