This day was the biggest nightmare in life for Brother Lu Fang.
The team that was still resting suddenly encountered the army and launched a surprise attack. Some of the Rouran people who were sleeping quickly woke up, while some fell into a deep sleep after the long journey and could not wake up immediately.
Rouran's cavalry began to pick up weapons in a hurry, and some didn't even have time to put on their armor. The same is true for the horses. The resting warhorse and the surrogate horse woke up from the terror of the galloping horses on the opposite side, roaring, restless, and refusing to obey their master's orders.
When the army came, one side was the fully prepared and well-armored Hu Ben army, and the other side was the suddenly awakened army who lost their soldiers and disarmed and was in a panic. It was obvious who would win and who would lose.
Gaoche, who was watching the battle from a distance, had never seen such a battle. It was clean and fast without leaving the water. If a person can use the war to be full of rhythm like music, it is tantamount to a kind of rhythm. Terrific art too.
shhhhhhhh...
This is the sound of Hu Benqi's first round of rapid fire.
Countless Rouran people who were getting on their horses just turned on their horses when they fell off their horses and wailed in pain.
Kuang Om…
This is the humming sound of the tigers and riders abandoning their bows and drawing their knives, and the long knives are unsheathed.
The Rouran cavalry, who had hurriedly confronted them, was like a human head sent to the door, making the polished sword full of blood, becoming a murder weapon that devoured people.
gala gala...
The charging horse stepped on the countless Rouran cavalry who were still running and screaming on the ground. When the bones and the iron hooves came into contact, the sound of the dead branches being trampled on in winter kept coming. The thing staggered for a while, immediately adjusted the horse's body, and leaped lightly.
He Mulan charged at the forefront of the team, and beside her were Man Gu, a undead soldier, and Na Luohun, who never gave in. They are like a wedge, pierced into the heart of this Rouran cavalry, and make the opponent's life worse than death.
The tall carts stood on the roof of their tall carts, watching the battle in the distance.
The soil is dark red, the vegetation is trembling, and the murderous aura is so thin that the sky is thin.
"General Hua, their leader is about to run away!" Man Gu looked at the two generals who were about to turn their horses and fled, and immediately shouted excitedly: "I would like to share the general's worries, please let me take their heads. class!"
Man Gu has completely subdued this young man now.
Every battle he followed her ended in a big victory. He likes to rush and kill by nature. With "Mulan", he never has to worry that he will fall into the enemy's camp alone, because as long as he faces Hua Mulan, the enemy will only have It is impossible to be surrounded and killed by the return of the feathers.
He Mulan looked ahead, about 150 paces away, which was the range that her bow and arrow could reach. She lifted the longbow hanging by the saddle, took out a feather arrow from the quiver, aimed it at the head of the other leader, raised her hand and shot it out.
Suddenly there was a strong wind, the feather arrow was disturbed by the wind, stagnant slightly, and shot into the leader's left shoulder, without shooting him under the horse.
"This is God's will." He Mulan shook his head, "God doesn't want me to kill him."
He Mulan looked at the two cavalry and horses. The tall man in leather armor wanted to run ahead with the slender head guarding the arrow. There were about 500 elite soldiers to help break the trail. In the chaos, He Mulan was the first. What she wanted to do was to look at the situation calmly, not to chase down the defeated soldiers, so she nodded.
"You take a thousand people to chase, it's better to capture them alive. I want to know their identities, why they came here, and what they did here."
"Order!"
He Mulan ordered ten centurions for him, and Man Gu excitedly led a thousand cavalry toward that direction, as if a tiger was out of the gate, and finally found an opportunity to show his teeth and claws.
The Hu Benqi used to be the vanguard, but the guards guarded the Difuchi camp. When the Hubenqi charged, the guards were divided into left and right flanks to surround the enemy, so that the scattered Rouran cavalry could only flee to the rear. .
When cavalry confronted each other, the taboo was to face people behind their backs. The cavalrymen of various countries from the northern nomads were all good at riding and shooting. Thousands of people died when they fled.
"The First Cause of All Realms"
Man Gu pursued the two generals of the enemy, the general who was hit by the arrow was stabbed by the tall man in the hip, and was guarded by five hundred knights to flee frantically, leaving only the tall general with less than two hundred people to break the trail.
Seeing that this person looked down on him so much, Man Gu immediately became furious and rushed into the enemy army first, fighting with that person. The other party mainly procrastinated and took a defensive posture. After a while, Man Gu became impatient.
"It's too good to fight with you! I won't fight you anymore, the cavalry left and right, capture him alive, and bring him back to the general!"
Knowing that this fate would come, Haruba could not help but squeeze the sledgehammer in his hand when he saw the flood of Wei people, waiting for the fate of being killed by the neck.
da da da da da da...
What's the sound
Haruba waved a heavy hammer, smashed the weapons of several Xianbei people, and looked in the direction of the voice.
"Adi, hold on! Agan is here to save you!"
It turned out that Lu Fang, who had not had much way to escape, turned back again.
"What are you doing back here!"
Haruba gritted his teeth and swung the giant hammer.
"Go!"
How can Pi Lixian's blood be cut off
As a descendant of Yu Jiulu's clan, how could he die in the enemy's line so foolishly
Apparently he's gone!
"It's better to die in one place than to be a bereaved dog!"
Lu Fang is extremely stubborn by nature, otherwise he would not go to the rescue after his father was captured. He knew that all the soldiers and horses had been damaged here this time, and with the soldiers and horses of his wife's family, it was difficult to have a chance to make a comeback.
The second half of his life will be spent in the shadow of killing his younger brother. Instead of this, it is better to fight to the death, and it can be regarded as living up to the name of the brave.
Haluba's eyes were red with anger, Lu Fang rescued his younger brother, and the two joined together, and the battle was in full swing.
Mangu was sweaty, his eyes burning. He deliberately made meritorious deeds, and then asked Hua Mulan for the task of capturing the enemy generals alive. In the end, it was a team that was defeated, but it became a warrior who fought to the death regardless of his life. Seeing that the casualties of the comrades around him were getting worse and worse, Mangu beat his horse and rushed towards the general who was hit by the arrow.
"Banggu is back!"
He Mulan had noticed the situation here from a distance and ordered Na Luo Hun to support him. As a result, Na Luo Hun had just arrived at the battleground when he saw Man Gu madly rushing towards the opposing general.
Although Lu Fang was injured, he was also a fierce general. Mangu did his best to kill him when he was by his side. Haruba came to support him later. Mangu was at risk and could die at any time.
That Luo Hun is really going crazy, what was supposed to be a sure thing, but this kind of thing happened. After a while, Man Gu was hit in the right shoulder, fell off the horse, and was about to be stabbed to death...
"Hey!"
At the critical moment, Chen Jie, who was also in front of the battle, threw the horse lance in his hand and hit Haruba under the horse. Mangu is a veteran who fought from flesh and blood. Seeing that Haruba was hit by a lance, he immediately grabbed Haruba's horse and turned over, and ran to Narohun.
"Adi! Adi!"
Lu Fang rushed to his brother's side desperately.
But it was useless. Haruba had already been captured by the people brought by Na Luohun, and unless he broke through the layers of human walls, it would be impossible to save him again.
"Ah! Ah ah ah!"
Lu Fang let out an unwilling roar, watching his younger brother die under the enemy's knife...
Huh
Seems alright
Na Luohun glanced at Lu Fang, who was covered in blood, and admired him. A soldier who could speak soft words immediately said, "Our general said, the two are so brave, if you surrender, you won't kill them!"
"I'd rather die than..."
A knife was placed on Haruba's neck.
In order to prevent Haruba from struggling to commit suicide, Hu Benqi had already knocked out his poor younger brother. The unconscious Haruba was trapped in the hands of Hu Benqi, with swords and swords on his body. As long as Lu Fang did not say a word, he would be killed and become a ghost.
Lu Fang held a broken knife in his right hand. He Mulan's left shoulder was hit by an arrow, and the arrow was still in his shoulder. At this time, his body was covered in blood and mud, and he shouted loudly, "You come and kill me! It's all stuffed in my stomach!"
"What are we going to kill you for?" When Luo Hun heard the interpreter's words, he quickly shook his head. "Come down, or not? You're running out of men and horses, and if the ink goes on, people will die."
Na Luo Hun has a weird personality. When he said this, he didn't seem to care whether he chose to die or to live. Lu Fang stared at Na Luo Hun and the others, revealing a vicious look that chose people.
'My father said before he left that we must die together, and we must live together. '
He looked at his brother with his head down.
"I'm useless, I can't take him to live, I can't make him die any more..."
After a long time, Lu Fang threw the broken knife in his hand on the ground.
"I'm down!"
***
He Mulan once again won a big victory, but Man Gu's almost death in battle taught her a lesson.
Although she can arrange troops and plan ahead, but some things can't be calculated, for example, people's hearts.
She didn't know Lu Fang and Haruba, and she didn't know the origin of the other's generals, so she didn't calculate that the two were biological brothers, and they could risk their lives for each other's lives.
Mangu didn't even think of it, so he almost suffered a loss. Na Luo thought about it, so he took one person's life to threaten another person's life. Although he was ruthless, it was suitable and effective.
Next time something like this can't be handed over to Mangu, but to Na Luohun. It is true that Mangu is eager to win, but his problem of going crazy when he fights has not changed at all.
And she led the troops, obviously not that way.
"Thank you for saving my life, I owe you a favor." While wrapping his wounds, Man Gu thanked Chen Jie for saving him.
Chen Jie had already retrieved Ma Leng at this time, and when he heard Mangu thank him, he pursed his lips and smiled: "General Mangu is so brave, but the enemy's return shows that he already has the heart of mortal death, so why bother fighting them? Waiting for reinforcements to take over is…”
"You don't understand. At this time, their morale must be knocked down. If you let them..."
"Go to the rear to rest. The Gaoche people are still concerned about the situation of the battle. After cleaning the battlefield, they immediately head to Difuchi. There is no longer any delay."
He Mulan interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Yes!"
Due to this battle, Mangu and Chen Jie immediately became familiar with each other. Although the two were ten years apart in age, they were still able to talk and laugh along the way. Man Gu didn't worry about his arm injury at all. Obviously, this kind of injury was already used to it, and it caused Chen Jie even more. Admiration.
When the Gaoche people saw the return of the Wei people in a great victory, they were immediately ecstatic. In any case, it is always a good thing that the army that protects them can fight well. With the strength of Wei State, their attachment has meaning.
While arranging for the Gaoche people to continue south, He Mulan sent envoys to the eastern army and Chang Sun Han's general account to report the news.
After Lu Fang and Haruba were captured, they were informed of their identities. The two were actually the sons of Yu Jiulu Pi Lixian and the nephew of Datan. Pi Lixian was captured for several months, and he never surrendered, and neither did Tuoba Tao. I was willing to kill him and still treat him as a guest. At this time, he had his two sons, and finally he had a reason to relax.
When they arrived at Difuchi, tens of thousands of old and weak Gaoche camped in the camp. He Mulan had just appeased the Gaoche people and was invited by Princess Lelang again, so she could only go by invitation.
"What is Madam Feng looking for from me?"
Considering the identity of the other party, He Mulan only stood outside the tent and asked.
"General Hua, the ones you captured today are indeed Pi Lixian's two sons?"
Princess Lelang asked her through the tent.
"It's true, they reported their own family, and there was a creepy soldier who said so, so their identity should be correct."
He Mulan suddenly remembered that this Princess Lelang was the Ye clan of Rouran Khan. She must be quite familiar with Rouran's situation, and her heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Mrs. Feng, what's wrong?"
"Pi Li was the tribal master in the east first, and the soldiers under his tent were brave and good at fighting. If the two of them were the generals who captured him, he should take advantage of the victory to pursue his tribe and defeat his tribe. Otherwise, there would be no master's tribe. It will be annexed by other tribal masters, and maybe their master Zuo Xianwang will also stretch out his hand to expand his strength, and it will be troublesome when it resurfaces."
Pi Li was Da Tan's younger brother and a confidant. Princess Lelang knew him very well and didn't want his fertile pasture to return to Wu Ti, so she reminded him.
He Mulan was stunned when she heard it, and felt that this woman was thinking a lot, but...
"Mrs. Feng has been thinking too much. In another month, it will be a problem whether Rouran's royal court is still there..." He Mulan said with a smile, "Not to mention that His Majesty will lead the army on the east front. The tribe will no longer exist. Not to mention that the two of them have already brought out all the elite soldiers."
"The general is so bold..."
Princess Lelang kindly reminded.
"This is military merit after all."
"It's not that I'm bold, it's that this trip to the north, I'm a big Wei is bound to win. Since it will all be ours in the end, why should we care who keeps it in the hands before? Although the captive of the creepy herdsmen is also a kind of military merit, but I The task now is not to kill the enemy, but to protect you, it is better not to mention this military merit."
He Mulan looked at the sky.
"If Madam Feng has nothing else to do, the junior will leave first."
"General Hua, please."
Not long after He Mulan left, Princess Lelang sighed quietly behind the tent.
"Courageous and resourceful, and still very calm, I can't see the depth."
"Madam, why do you care so much about this general?"
A maid hugged the little princess who had woken up and was nibbling on a milk cake, and asked softly, "You remind him kindly, but he doesn't appreciate it."
"You don't understand, I'm always worried about his name. Now this is indeed an excellent young man, and I'm worried that Hao'er will suffer in the future..."
If she went to the east, she would not have met her son.
But now it seems that he has already made up his mind, and he is unmoved by other things.
That night, Gaocheren was busy and didn't sleep all night. He Mulan and several generals who stayed behind in the camp interrogated Pi Lixian's two sons all night, and finally learned a lot about the situation.
It turns out that Da Tan has been ill for a while, so until now I haven't heard the news of him leading the army in person.
It turned out that the capture of Pi Lixian and the murder of Guifang made Wu Tizi confused and fought with his brothers. Therefore, when the Wei army was overwhelmed, it was impossible for him to defend his own territory.
It turned out that the princes and chieftains had already sent a lot of messengers to summon Gaoche people, so they were so surprised to see Gaoche people here.
At this time, the head of the Hulu Department and the Di clan also told them about the latest things.
Di Yefei beheaded all kinds of messengers in Jinshan, so they had to transfer the old and young. Jinshan Gaoche was in full swing, and everyone called him "Aqihuo" and respected him very much.
"The big thing is bad!"
He Mulan jumped up when she heard that Di Yefei had killed Rouran's messenger.
"How long has this been?"
"It's been almost half a month."
Seeing that He Mulan was so anxious, several generals couldn't help but be surprised: "Why is General Hua so panicked?"
"Di Yefei killed Rouran's messenger, but at this time Rouran was fighting against my great Wei. If Gaoche refused the call, the other clans would do the same, and would not hand over their clansmen to fight. Datan He is a person with a deep sense of stoicism, and even if he wants to kill one person as an example, he will definitely send someone to take revenge on the high car, otherwise once everyone follows suit, no one will help the royal court..."
He Mulan bowed his hands to several generals.
"The Gaoche tribe is in danger now, and I want to go to Jinshan tomorrow to support the Gaoche tribe. Fortunately, Lu Fang and Haruba have been captured, and there is no large army around. The generals guard the camp and protect these Gaoche tribesmen until Someone from the Black Mountain Camp, I wonder if they can?"
A general was happy to sell this favor, smiled and said, "Even if General Hua doesn't say it, it's our responsibility. We will guard the camp, and General Hua can rest assured."
They are guarding the camp, and those comrades who were eager to attack want to get rich military merit, but they can only wait in the rear. Who would have known that a letter from Mulan, even if they were sitting in the camp, they would have gained so many military exploits and prisoners in vain, plus the squishy war horses, armors, etc., even if they did not go to battle, this Northern Expedition would not be regarded as returning empty-handed. .
They knew that it was false that Hua Mulan might want to rescue Gaoche Ren, but it was true that she wanted to lead her troops to earn some military merit, and naturally she would not block Hu Benqi's way.
He Mulan heard that they didn't have any doubts or displeasure, and her heart was instantly settled. She immediately went out of the tent, ordered troops and horses, and only left the soldiers who were injured in today's battle, so they were prepared for urgent travel.
For urgent travel, war horses, replacement horses, pack horses, dry food, including luggage to be discarded, weapons and arrows to be brought must be estimated in advance, otherwise, even if they arrive at the place, they will not be able to start fighting.
After a busy night, until the early morning, He Mulan led the more than 4,000 Tiger Ben Army and the men of the Gaoche tribe who volunteered to lead the way for them, and set foot on the road north to Jinshan.
None of them knew that He Mulan went to Gaoche not for anything else, but to gather the young men of Gaoche to earn a big credit.
Back then, when the royal court of Datan was attacked by Tuoba Tao, he fled to the west in a hurry, and the only place he had to pass was Jinshan.
It was just that when the Gaoche tribe heard the news of the Northern Expedition of Wei State, they fled in a panic and fled. As for how the Gaoche belonged later, because Hua Mulan did not care about politics, there was no such content in their memory. .
The only thing she can be sure of is that the southern foot of Jinshan was an empty pasture at that time, so Da Tan fled there and repaired it, and then continued to flee west until Da Tan fell ill and died of anger on the way to the west. Wu Ti succeeded to the throne, and then returned to Rouran with his troops and horses, raised the king's flag again, and surrendered to Wei.
He Mulan just left. I heard that he was going to support the Gaoche tribe. The old and weak women and children of Gaoche naturally sent them off enthusiastically. Every girl could not wait to kiss the soldiers and soldiers of the Tiger Benqi.
He Mulan had the most things thrown on her body by the girls, so that Hu Benqi had to speed up and run for a while, otherwise she would be surrounded by onlookers in the morning and would not be able to leave the camp at all.
When He Mulan left, Princess Lelang was amazed, but she was now in the Wei people's place. Her status was very valuable. Wei Guo had already had an egret officer waiting for her in the camp, and she did not dare to send an envoy to find her son rashly. We can only obediently wait here for news from all parties.
It's just that she didn't wait for news from other channels, but she waited for an unexpected person.
"I'm relieved to see Mrs. well."
As soon as Yang Zhe entered the camp, seeing that Princess Lelang was still looking as usual, his heart suddenly settled down and saluted her.
When Princess Lelang's daughter saw Yang Zhe, she immediately jumped up, hugged his leg and shouted "Mr. Yang" and "Mr. Yang".
"How did you come?"
Princess Lelang was not happy but worried when she saw him.
"Hao'er deserves your help at this time, how can you come to me?"
Yang Zhe was a Han Chinese. He led a group of people to the south on the grassland. Naturally, he was quickly stopped by the patrolling Wei people. Fortunately, there was no conflict between the two sides because of his Han appearance. When he showed his token and explained the reason, the patrolling Wei people took them into the camp suspiciously, not allowing the cavalry to enter the camp, and only took Yang Zhe to find them. The "General Tiger Ben" went.
It's just that Hua Mulan had already left the camp at this time, and the general in charge of managing affairs in the camp heard the report of the patroller, and immediately did not dare to neglect, and sent Yang Zhe to "Mrs. Feng".
"Because the young master also thinks so..."
Yang Zhe sighed. "You mother and son think that with me by your side, the other party will be safe and sound. I, Yang Zhe, He De and He Neng, can get such trust from you..."
"But now you..."
"Madam, don't worry, there is the young master who is the sweetheart of the 'Aqihuo' on Gaoche's side, and it will definitely be more powerful. It is Madam, who is alone and helpless. If there is an emergency, won't the young master regret it later. ?"
…
sweetheart...
It's because she has that sweetheart, so she's worried, okay
"But ma'am, when I came, I saw a lot of tall people in the Weiren camp. This is..."
Princess Lelang rubbed her brows and said with a bitter face:
"Just to let you know that Hao'er's sweetheart probably has some problems..."
***
The southern foot of Jinshan.
"Aqihuo, the patriarch, it's not good! There is an army of Rouran in the distance, and the banner is Wu Ti's troops!"
In order to prevent Wu Ti from retaliation, Di Yefei had already ordered Gao Che's clansmen with the best eyesight to disperse to the north and east to guard against the army from Rouran.
Now that the army is indeed approaching, they can no longer hope for luck, so they have to look at Di Yefei.
Di Yefei had already made arrangements before, and asked the clan: "How many people and horses? When will they arrive?"
"I can't count how many people there are, there should be tens of thousands, right?" The clan did not dare to approach at all, they only said in fear: "At this speed, we will be near us in the evening!"
"Their army travels long distances and will not launch a night attack in this situation. We still have time."
Di Yefei looked at the patriarchs, bowed and said, "At this time, we can only follow the previous arrangement..."
"We get it."
The several patriarchs had discussed it beforehand, and when they heard the emergency, they immediately echoed: "Tell the clan to put up the tent..."
"Get ready to go up the mountain."
