42 Second Fire Companion (5)
No matter what beautiful thoughts she has, for someone like her, it will be cut off in the end.
When she decided to join the army for her father, her married sister warned her that in the barracks, even if there are many men, don't think about what you can find, and you can't reveal your identity as a woman, otherwise you will fall into a place of no return.
For Mulan, joining the army back then was in accordance with the mandate of heaven. As for men, that's something that didn't go into the plan at all.
When Mulan's family received the military sticker issued by the military government, the name of the veteran was in the twelve volumes of the military book. Emperor Tuoba Tao went to war everywhere, and the large battalions everywhere had to use soldiers, and there were twelve military camps that wanted warriors like Hua Arc who were familiar with the battlefield.
Such a call-up is an honor in all military families.
When Mulan is faced with this choice, she will of course be confused.
She hadn't experienced war, but from her grandfather's triumphant boasting of her past exploits, she heard something that would make her shudder.
Not cruelty, but a thirst and fanaticism for blood.
So Hua Mulan hesitated for a long time, and finally chose Black Mountain City on the border between Rouran and Great Wei as the location of her army. In her bones, she doesn't like to attack cities and kill people, and she is willing to go to the bitter cold land to start her dangerous and difficult journey.
Before the big war comes, she will watch the country from now on, maybe until she dies.
Father Hua is not unusual about this, if it is about his daughter's martial arts, it is possible to encounter misfortune in the siege, but against those timid Rouran people, only the other party is scared stupid.
The soldiers of Great Wei all looked down on the Rouran people in their hearts.
It's gold that always shines, and no matter how reluctant Mulan is, her terrifying talent and extraordinary archery skills will still attract the attention of many people.
Although Emperor Wei Tuoba Tao only ordered the whole army to be reorganized and fought a decisive battle against Rouran this year, in fact, since three or four years ago, he already had the intention of attacking Rouran.
When his father died, he ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, and was about to subdue the ministers, when this group of Rouran people went south to invade the border, and the whole army attacked, just to take advantage of the death of the ancestor of Wei to take advantage of it.
But they misjudged his rather than bend character.
Under the opposition of all the old ministers, he personally led the army to fight back at the age of fifteen, which not only thwarted the offensive of the Rouran people, but also laid down his national policy of "attacking instead of defending" in one fell swoop, and began his career of conquest in all directions.
Wei is a country with a bad territory, surrounded by strong enemies, there are Qin countries on the east and west, Liang and Xia are eyeing each other, there is a huge territory of the Rouran Khanate in the north, Liu Song in the south sits on a vast fertile land, and the Han people are able to govern the country, the people are comfortable and peaceful, not like the Great Wei, most of the country is barren to the uncultivable grassland and desert, and the border cities are even more every household has a white flag to summon spirits, and the pain is unbearable.
Great Wei did not have many fertile fields, not many lakes, no salt pans, and no minerals......
But he has hundreds of thousands of warriors who can control the strings when they get on their horses.
God didn't give them that, they went to win it on their own.
They have resisted centuries of aggression from all the surrounding countries, and instead of winning allies, they have attracted wolves. Since this is the case, he will kill the wolf and dominate the Central Plains!
I'm fighting the country myself!
With such an idea, Tuoba Tao decided the national policy of "establishing the country by force" almost at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, and the Great Wei military households were all glorified of following Tuoba Tao's expedition to the east and west, and the capture of each city determined that the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty could not only obtain military merits, but also obtain what they wanted.
Property, slaves, women, as long as they win the war, they have everything.
The men are eager for war, the women are praying for a son, and everyone in the six northern towns is practicing martial arts, and there is a steady stream of new troops to the barracks.
In all the armies, as long as there are outstanding talents, the corresponding barracks generals must report to Pingcheng, otherwise it will be dereliction of duty if they are delayed.
When the military report about Mulan was sent from Black Mountain City to Pingcheng, Tuoba Tao had just welcomed his fourth son in his life. None of his previous three sons survived, and this one is his only son now, and in a sense the eldest son.
His nanny, Empress Dowager Dou, thought that he had committed too many murders, so he was only in his twenties and had no sons, so she advised him to restrain himself. Therefore, Tuoba Tao was a vegetarian during the year that his concubine Mrs. He was pregnant, and he tried not to give orders like "slaughtering the city" when attacking the city.
Maybe it was his wish that had an effect, maybe it was the nanny who ate fasting and chanted Buddha every day really moved the heavens, this son born in Tianming was born crying loudly, when he was born, the sun had just risen, the first rays of sunlight shone into the room, so that Tuoba Tao, who had stayed up all night, placed great hopes on him, and personally named him "Huang", which means "bright light".
Then he couldn't help himself with excitement at noon that day, and the excerpt of Xia Hong, the general of the right army of the Black Mountain Battalion, came to him. In the army, I found a warrior with invincible strength, who can carry the tripod and has great archery skills, but his character is too charitable, although he is brave, he does not like to kill, and he has not been promoted greatly.
Tuoba Tao has seen too many people who have killed red-eyed people, and there are too many people who have talent and are eager to make contributions to climb up, but Tuoba Tao has not seen a few people who have proud talent but are unwilling to take it to the extreme.
This warrior named Mulan immediately aroused Tuobatao's curiosity, and he thought that it was a great sign of joy to have both a son and such a warrior in one day. [,! □□ egrets mixed into the barracks, and while letting Xia Hong take care of these egrets, he observed Mulan to see how he could stimulate his fighting spirit.
He loved money, so he gave him money; He loves women, and he tempts them with them; If he is a man of good heart, the death of his comrades in battle may inspire hatred for his enemies; If he is a good name, he might as well make him a rising star in the army.
As an emperor, he is not only good at war, but also understands human nature.
Su Hejun, who wanted Mulan to carry water before, was the egret who mixed into the right army, and he was also the son of the general next to Tuoba Tao, in order to get mixed with Mulan, he could be described as painstaking.
This Mulan doesn't mix well in the same fire, and she is wary of the people around her.
As for why she didn't mix well, you have to talk about what happened to Mulan before she was promoted to "General Huwei".
Not long ago, because of the battle in which Tugui suddenly killed a horse gun to save Vice General Wang, Hua Mulan, who fought a bloody way out of the chaotic army with only one person's strength, suddenly became a new topic in the army.
Tugui was also extremely glad that he listened to the persuasion of Vice General Wang at that time, and did not use this kid's head to kill chickens and monkeys, otherwise, it would be wishful thinking to find such a strong "chicken" again.
A warrior who can crush someone's head with his bare hands, he has never seen in his life.
But this kid is like the outbreak of that day was a pure accident, since that day to save Vice General Wang broke through and returned to the camp, and reported to relieve the siege of Rouran's strong attack, Mulan has never shown such martial arts bravery.
Tugui didn't clean himself later, because of the disgraceful death of a horn, Hua Mulan also followed a few other lieutenants in the army, these people were all for Mulan's retreat at the station Xiàn and the ability to wear Yang in a hundred steps and took him under the account, but these people love and hate Mulan, and many people have a feeling of "not taking advantage of it".
He doesn't look like a warrior. Throwing away his astonishing divine power and ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, this 'man' really has the ability to drive the robe crazy
"Why don't you kill them? You actually let them run! Mulan's new fire chief tugged at the collar of her uniform and tried to push him to the ground and beat him fatly, but after many pushes in a row that didn't work, he stopped this humiliating behavior and instead questioned him loudly by spitting on his face.
"You're not skilled!"
"I can't do it."
Mulan explained lightly and pushed away the fire partner's arm.
"You are a soldier of my right army of Great Wei, and you can't do anything with me? I don't want you to kill people and summon you to the barracks, what are you doing? Cooking and laundry? Why don't you just go home and take the kids! "
Do you think she doesn't want to go home with the kids?
Hua Mulan looked at the scene in front of her in disgust, and glared angrily at the angry fire chief: "Those are Wei people!" The man just said they were all taken away! Don't you understand Xianbei's words! Even if you can't understand Xianbei dialect, many of those people can always hear it if they speak Chinese! "
"From the moment he took up arms against us, he was no longer a Wei man!"
"You're all crazy!"
"Mulan, I think you're crazy! Someone like you who doesn't listen to orders, why does the general call you in! We Seventeen Fire won't want you to be such a rotten pus! "
The most famous of the Rouran Army is the "Death Camp".
Unlike the Great Wei Dynasty, which was always the most elite vanguard battalion charging ahead, Rouran liked to use the slaves and sinners plundered by various ethnic groups as substitutes for the dead ghosts who charged ahead, so as to disrupt the formation of the Great Wei cavalry.
Rouran is a khanate that has been strengthened by the combination of countless khanates in the north, and there are also conquests in the country from time to time, plus when plundering the borders of the Great Wei, as long as the time is allowed to fight with the Great Wei, it will also take away a lot of young and strong soldiers to send to death.
Today, they were ordered to raid the camp of the former army of the Rouran people, and killed a lot of the Rouran people, but there was still a group of Rouran people who ran away after pushing these ghosts out of the way.
The main cavalry of Rouran is all one man and three horses, and it is difficult to catch up after running, but those who stay are not.
In order to compete for military merits, these people were also killed. The Rouran people who ran away may not be chased back, and what is left is real military feats. They were all terrified people in ragged clothes with short guns and clubs in their hands, and they were much easier to slaughter than the Rouran soldiers who rode □□ Zhan, and after a while, the cannon fodder of the "dead camp" became the "military exploits" hanging on the horses of various armies.
At this time, everyone is forcibly seizing military merits, thousands of knights killing the sound of shaking the heavens and the earth, feather arrows in the air come and go, like flying locusts, a dry of infantry that was left behind fled in a hurry, the sky is full of red glow, the Wei army in the military tent is galloping, and the hideous face is faintly visible.
Hua Mulan is also the first time to face the legendary "death camp" of Rouran, seeing that these people are not so much warriors, but a group of refugees are more suitable, although they are also tall and brave, but they don't even have decent armor and weapons, no matter how brave they are, it is difficult to fight a way to live.
Her companions thought of intercepting a group of Rouran cannon fodder from the other robes, and then drove them to her side, hoping to annihilate them all with the force of encirclement. Unexpectedly, Hua Mulan immediately crossed the road, pointed to the south and let them flee in the direction of Wei Realm, and actually let them go.
Although the chance of escaping in the end was slim, these people escaped death, and they were all overjoyed and fled in all directions.
At this time, the partners who were still preparing to wait for the rabbit saw that the rabbit was let go by Mulan, and they were even more angry than the Rouran people who fled. [,! ] down.
As a result, not only did Mulan not feel guilty, but actually got off the horse and said that she would not pursue it anymore.
The most hateful thing about Mulan is that although she doesn't mess with others, others provoke her, whether she is justified or unreasonable, she will never let herself suffer.
It is forbidden to fight in the same room in the army, and her new fire companions can't beat her, so there is no other way than gritting her teeth and scolding her a few words and spitting a few times on her head and face.
But cold reception and white eyes are always inevitable, and no one likes Mulan who looks like a hysterical guy in their brain. The fire chief is often responsible for the cooking of the Huotou Society, and he deliberately makes it difficult, and it has become difficult for Mulan to even eat hot food. Even if it is a good porridge and rice, when it reaches her hands, there is often something like thick phlegm and dust floating in it, and she has exhausted her appetite
"I heard that you let go of the Rouran people a few days ago, and your military exploits have gone to seventy?" Hu Lihun, who was also assigned to the main army of the right army, learned of Mulan's embarrassment for a while, and secretly went to find Mulan with the remaining Hu cakes at night.
In Mulan's heart, these fire companions in the new barracks are the real "friends of life and death", and those guys who snore like thunder in the tent and take revenge for some bad deeds are at best stupid people who want to use her natural divine power to gain military merit.
"Where are the Rouran people, the Wei people who have been put into the death camp. You don't know, but many of the people I let go of were children, and they didn't even have fluff on their mouths."
Hua Mulan chewed the Hu cake sent by Hu Lihun, because there was no hot soup to boil, the Hu cake was very difficult to swallow, and she rolled her eyes when she choked.
"Say that people don't have hair on their mouths, and you don't have hair on your mouth!"
Hua Mulan was weak-hearted and covered up her position as a person.
Although they Xianbei people do not start growing beards when they reach the age of establishment like the Han people, it is really difficult to explain if they do not grow beards for such a long time. Fortunately, as she quickly lost weight, she actually had something vaguely like an Adam's apple, otherwise it would be really difficult to mix.
Hu Lihun sighed when he saw that Mulan still had the heart to continue eating.
"This can't be done, the fire commanders of each team are responsible for recording military merits and distributing military rations, and now you are messing with him so much that you can't even eat, or this kind of reason for losing money, you can only hold on. Did you find the centurion of your team?"
"Say what this does. If you don't have military merit, you can't have military merit." Hua Mulan knows that she is a woman, and she is all vain, and she doesn't attach much importance to military merits. Da Wei can't get a turn to reward meritorious deeds for a few years, and she doesn't take military merits to heart at all.
From the beginning of her military career, she has been ready to not marry, have no fiefdom, and not have children. Any possible use of the military registry could reveal the truth about her identity as a woman.
She doesn't have any water now, I'm afraid she doesn't have the life to give birth to a child, since she has nothing, why bother to fight for these things outside her body.
She can't wear a high crown, and she doesn't want to compete for honor. She grew up in Huaishuo and knew how the six towns in the north sent the men of their family to the battlefield one by one in order to protect the south. In the past, it was men who worked hard for women, but now she is also replaced by a man, and there is nothing sad about it.
Dedication to duty, life and death are is.
"Even if you don't fight for military merit, you always have to eat, right? I said that this general is also sick, and he intends to use you, and he has to throw you into this kind of fire where everyone is scum and give you a scum. What do the Han people say, what is that, if you want to work hard, you have to work hard for a good master......"
"Death to a man who is a confidant."
"Yes, yes, that's it, he hasn't been able to fight yet, what kind of big head is rushing!"
Mulan smiled and didn't speak.
She doesn't know anything about politics and power schemes, and she doesn't want to understand them.
She's here to be a soldier, and she's just going to march and fight. Under which general, it is nothing more than the difference between having food and not eating, and the difference between good food.
"Don't be smirking! Captain Adanhuo must know how sad it is that you can't even eat now! Hu Lihun saw that Hu Mulan was still touching his stomach after eating Hu Cake, so he knew that he was not full.
There is a lot of consumption in the army, and it is common for an adult man to eat three or four or five Hu Cakes in one meal, what can one Hu Cake top!
He remembered that the old fire chief always wanted to make thick cakes, and occasionally there were things in the camp that were not available in the category of minced meat, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
When Mulan heard Hu Lihun talk about Adan Zhiqi, a sadness rose in her heart, and for a while, Hu Lihun seemed to feel that she had said the wrong thing, and the two sank into silence.
"This fire can't stay anyway......" Hua Mulan knew that the fire companions in the past were worried about her, thought about it, put on a good idea and said to him: "I know how to leave this lieutenant's subordinates, wait for another half a month, I will do my best to change to a camp tent that can eat well."
"You want to participate in the contest of the right army?"
"Hmm. I have to go."
She is an "unusual" person who is envied by Shan Zhiqi, how can she be reduced to eating a bowl of rice with thick phlegm!
And this general, not only to use her, but also afraid that she would be a personal soldier and rob him of his military merits, it is simply despicable. This kind of person is virtuous, and if she wants her Mulan to work a hungry stomach, she will do it, and her father in the family will break her leg if he knows about it1
In that case, what else does she have to keep her hands on!
Half a month later, there was a big contest in the army of the right army.
This competition is divided into three games, the first round of the competition, the school field in the stone lock is divided into four classes, who can lift the first class for the longest time, who is the first "champion"
[,! ]
The second is riding shooting, divided into fixed shooting and transfer shooting, the best ten people in the fixed shooting, will shoot the pigeon tied with the red rope that is released in the sky, and who shoots more in the end, who is the "champion" of the second game.
The third game after the cavalry is a horse battle, with no restrictions on weapons, and no decision is made about life and death. As long as two of the three games are won, they are "champions", and they can ask the general of the right army for promotion and improve their salary.
The right army's big martial arts pioneer battalion "Tiger Ben" did not participate, but most of the warriors in the tiger game came from the "champions" of the big competition, so as long as they had the ability, everyone was waiting for this time to show their faces.
Mulan's purpose in the competition is very simple, but it is precisely because this purpose is very simple that she can't lose.
Although she doesn't care about military exploits, she doesn't want to look at other people's faces. Her grandfather told her not to go out of line, but in this army, if she doesn't go out of line, she won't be able to live at all! .
"Ho!" Hua Mulan and everyone else put down the stone lock, waited for a while, and threw the stone lock in their hands. It's just that although she also wants to make a panting, red face and red ears, but she has tanned her skin, and she can't hold back any breath when she lifts such a light thing, and it's useless to blush.
As for panting, there was no sweat on her head and face at all, that would be too contrived, she could only go with the flow.
Sometimes, hiding is also a skill.
It's a pity that this kind of ability, her grandfather hasn't taught her yet, she has already joined the army.
"That stone lock is like lifting goose feathers, is it Mulan from Huaishuo?" Su Hejun, who concealed his appearance and hid behind Xia Hong, the general of the town army, asked him softly.
"Yes. He's going to come to the big game, and General Ben is weird. He had never been involved before, and he was just living under Tugui. General Ben is reluctant to force him, such a person always has a bit of temperament, and I can't imagine that he has figured it out on his own."
"Anyway, that's a good thing. If Hua Mulan is really a warrior like no other in the world, and General Xia has made meritorious contributions to the country's discovery of generals, the lower officials will definitely tell His Majesty General Xià's high virtue."
"Don't dare, I just can't bear to let the pearl be dusty."
The second game, riding and shooting.
Hua Mulan looked at the legendary "Di Meiren" provocatively at herself, and shook her head helplessly.
Her strength lies in her long range and great force, but it is not a burst shot. Even if she had to shoot continuously, her bow wouldn't be able to withstand it. This Di Yefei didn't know where he learned the skill of "Lianzhu Arrow", and he took it in this second riding shooting, which is well deserved.
Such a powerful beauty, is it really a woman?
Hua Mulan curiously swept Di Yefei's chest, but didn't see any bulges.
I just looked at his lips and throat again, and I didn't see his beard or Adam's apple!
Forget it, you can't look at it anymore, the eyes of this "Di Meiren" have changed from provocative to angry.
If you look at it again, I'm afraid that the third scene will turn into a vicious fight.
Hua Mulan won the "championship" of the first game, and Di Yefei won the second game. Both of them have a "crown" in hand, so they naturally have to compete for the third "horse battle".
Di Yefei used the ancestral double halberd, and Hua Mulan held an ordinary spear picked up in the battlefield, which is more advantageous in terms of weapons, you can see at a glance.
It's just that Di Yefei has also heard of Mulan's name, but he will not underestimate the enemy.
He cheered up and went back and forth with Mulan, and after a few rounds. Di Yefei's double halberd flew up and down, and Mulan's spear stabbed sharply to stir up a gun shadow.
There were endless applause and high-of-the-beatings on the school field, and many of these officers and soldiers were born in military generals' families, and it is still clear whether there is any real ability.
Although Di Yefei looks like a woman, he is indeed an out-and-out man, whether it is his body or arm strength, he is an outstanding choice for a while, but unfortunately, he met Mulan, who looks like a male and female, and has a daughter, but is born with unparalleled divine power.
Hua Mulan was thundering in her belly for a day, she didn't eat in the morning, only drank some water, raised the lock and shot arrows, and now she has to fight, I can't wait to quickly divide the victory and find Hu Lihun and them to ask for something to eat.
Although she is a woman, she can't beat Di Yefei's face, so she can't help but dare not make a move, for fear that the beauty who will be beaten will have a blue nose and swollen face, and the rice will be eaten, and she will be dragged away and beaten by the people of the same army when she goes out in the future, but there are too few ways to win without hurting others, so she can only entangled in her hands while enduring the burning in her stomach and thinking about what to do.
In an instant, Di Yefei suddenly revealed a flaw, this flaw was originally intended to trick Mulan into raising a gun, he had two halberds, and the one in his left hand was a killing move, as long as she was fooled, he would hold her throat.
I don't know how many Rouran people died under his horse this trick, Di Yefei saw that Hua Mulan really hit the plan, and stabbed him in the face with a gun, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and was ready to sacrifice the kung fu of pressing the bottom of the box......
Mulan's body consciousness was extremely fast, and she made a reflex action to grasp the flaw faster than her thoughts, but she firmly remembered that she couldn't ruin Di Meiren's face, so she raised the gun out, screamed "It's broken" in her heart, turned the thorn into a horizontal one, and used five points of strength to slap it horizontally towards Di Yefei's chest!
Syllable!
Boom!
Hua Mulan has so much strength, she didn't stab Di Ye Fei's flaw, but went down to pat someone's chest, causing a group of soldiers next to her to scold "despicable", "shameless", "shameless" and so on. She also took it out before she thought that there were rumors in the army that this Di Meiren was a woman who served in the army for her father, and it was indeed a little obscene to shoot people on the chest with a gun, but she had already made a move, and it was difficult to take it back.
Di Yefei's halberd in his left hand had just been raised halfway through when it slammed into his weapon head-on. [,! The force spread across the left half of his body, and he flew straight off the horse, falling heavily under the horse, making a loud noise.
"You're really good...... I passed on the stunt, you actually saw through it......" He only felt that his left hand had been completely unconscious, and the left half of his body couldn't move.
This Mulan is really terrifying.
'Hey, what is he talking about?'
The second monk of Mulan was puzzled.
Anyway, it didn't hurt the sister's face, nor did it ruin his chest. It's just that the weapon flew away, and the face was a little disgraced, which is also a blessing.'
Thinking of this, Mulan happily got off the horse and leaned down □ to help the "goddess" in the army.
"Sorry......"
Mulan smiled apologetically.
"You lost this time, and there will be Dabi to participate in two months......"
"But my stomach really can't survive for two months."
