Mulan picked up the water in the basin and carefully rubbed her body up and down.

In Montenegro, water is a very valuable resource. Most of the water is transported from the river not far away by ox carts and horse-drawn carts, except for the water used for cooking stoves, unless you are a high-ranking general or a group of slaves and generals in the army, it is a luxury to want to bathe frequently.

At first, Mulan was very uncomfortable, there was a well in her yard, and fetching water was never difficult for a girl like her, so she was still a person who loved cleanliness.

But after arriving in the army, it became a luxury to carry water and take a bath when he was sweaty after the drill. The fire chief will allocate the limited water resources to cooking before doing other things.

When she and Shan Zhiqi and Mo Huaier were still in the black camp, there was a basin of water for everyone to wash together, first to wash their faces, and then to wash their feet, and when it was her turn to be here, they all became muddy water, and they could only endure the stickiness of their feet to sleep.

In this sense, after the increase in military merit, he was promoted to a miscellaneous general, and his life was indeed much more comfortable than before. At least there won't be a fire that will point at your nose and curse after you secretly wipe yourself with water.

While taking a bath, Mulan thought about something that she didn't have, and she sighed when she was comfortable.

Until the reckless boy crashed into the tent again.

Mulan casually pulled the big sweat towel placed on the edge of the basin, wrapped herself, and continued to soak in the basin.

Chen Jie knew his master's quirks, and he didn't dare to get too close, and his eyes narrowed when he only held a bunch of brochures and smiled.

"General Hua, we were praised by General Wang. It is said that our last half month is very good, and even General Xia praised it."

Aside from the number of kills, any general actually cares about the attrition figures. It is not a matter of a day or two for a new recruit to grow into a soldier who can fight in formation, there are battles everywhere, and it is not easy to replenish the troops on the front line.

Therefore, Xia Hong will pay attention to Mulan's team, and it is normal that no one dies.

Mulan wasn't surprised by this, so she didn't rejoice like Chen Jie.

"Got it, you go out, put the booklet in the outer account, and you go out too......" She looked at Chen Jie's somewhat hurt expression, and she had the urge to hold her forehead. Do you know that it's cold when you lift the tent? I'm going to get up, how can I blow the wind?"

Chen Jie let out a "oh" and hurriedly retreated.

It's just that before going out, he vaguely saw the curve wrapped in a cloth towel, which made him slightly stunned, and his face was full of pride.

Others say that General Hua's figure is thinner than other generals, and they should really be allowed to take a look!

Look at General Flower's sturdy muscles!

The pectoral muscles are almost catching up with the recognized strong men in the army, and the bald men are well developed!

Chen Jie touched his chest.

He was so small that no matter how much he practiced, he couldn't make his clothes protrude from the contours of his muscles.

Look at General Hua's can't even cover the cloth towel......

People are thin and have muscles!

Since His Majesty issued a military order to prepare for the whole army and prepare to go to Rouran for the beginning of the year, there have been more and more temptations from the Rouran people, and they are not as harassed as before, which makes Xia Hong begin to suspect that there are spies of the Rouran people in the army, or that the Rouran people are no longer as keen on cutting off people's heads to earn military merits as before, but have become the leaders who capture the centurion and above to spy on the military situation.

The Rouran people are contemptuously called "worms" by the Xianbei people, and they are recognized as a rabble with no tactics or stratagems. Xia Hong's conclusion is like someone saying that "cabbage worms also have human brains", which has been dismissed as nonsense by many people.

The general of the Chinese army was vaguely convinced, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he did not make any substantial support. So Xia Hong can only turn to the idea of proving this conclusion by himself.

Xia Hong was born in Jiangmen, and later returned to the Great Wei because he had guarded the north for generations. He is one of the few high-ranking generals in the army who has both Xianbei and Han blood, and he is very popular in the Montenegrin camp.

But sometimes, it's useless to just have a good relationship.

He was not born into the Xianbei Thirty-Six Nobles, which made him unable to find allies many times. The Han forces were in charge of logistics and internal affairs most of the time in the army, which could only make his subordinates more timely in terms of supplies, and in terms of the battle situation, the number of Han generals was negligible.

So he ordered Mulan and a few other generals to enter the account and asked them to pay attention to the movements of the Rouran people.

"Recently, the worms have been attacking more and more often, and most of them are only besieging and not attacking, waiting for our rescue, I am afraid that they have another purpose. You are all the most capable commanders of the right army, and if you encounter such a situation, you must be very cautious."

Xia Hong was a little worried about this.

"Recently, there have been more and more newspapers from Beijing, I know that you are all literate, and you must burn these things after reading them in the future, and don't carry them with you. Evacuate immediately if something is wrong, in case you are captured......"

He glanced around his men.

Most of them showed disapproving expressions, they looked down on the Rouran people from the bottom of their hearts, and they didn't think that they would be captured.

Only Mulan and Su Hejun are listening carefully.

Xia Hong's worries were even greater.

"In case you get captured, just give me some fake news. As for the number of the three armies, you might as well exaggerate the numbers. It's better for you to confirm the statement in private, don't say you have 50,000, he says there are 70,000......"

"My lord, do you think we might be captured?"

Su He. [,！ Jun has always been known for his quick mind and careful observation, otherwise he would not have been sent to the army by Tuoba Tao, he nominally selects talents for superior use, but in fact also assumes the role of monitoring the generals in the army.

"The last general doesn't understand, if you think we're going to be captured, you're not allowed to fight for a while."

"It's not that easy. His Majesty has been from Pingcheng for several days, and I want to come to Black Mountain City for at least half a month, and at most a month at most, before that, we must make sure that there will not be a creeping army near Black Mountain, and it is necessary to go out to patrol frequently."

Xia Hong frowned.

"It's just that several centurions in the White Battalion have disappeared before, and some of the recruits in the White Battalion say that they were torn apart by the worms, and some say that they were trampled into flesh by the horses of the worms......"

This kind of thing is very common in the military, and there are too many reasons why the body cannot be found.

"I'm worried about some conspiracy on the Creep's side, but even if it is, there's no way we're going to suspend the camp. That's probably what the worms are thinking about, so they attack so often."

"I want you to pay attention to each other's soldiers and horses when you go to war, especially Mulan......"

When Mulan heard her name being called, she immediately said solemnly: "The last general!"

"You are the general of the right army, and when you attack in the front, you must be careful not to let them go deep alone. If you really can't stop it, give up the rescue immediately and come back to move the rescuers."

Xia Hong rubbed his palms, which was his usual action when thinking.

"I don't want to see any generals above the centurion captured, so you have to be vigilant yourselves, understand!"

"Yes!"

"The last general understands!"

A group of miscellaneous generals came out of the camp, and they were a little confused by the commander's orders. For Mulan, she will do whatever the master says, and as for the art of war, she rarely considers it.

The real lords will not go into battle without permission, they are all elites, and they themselves are not short of these small military exploits. The army is also a hierarchical world, and if a miscellaneous general wants to have a big promotion, he must either really stage a big drama to turn the tide, or he has served a senior general in the army.

Neither path is easy.

"Now there is a great military merit in front of us, do you want it?"

So when Su Hejun said this to a group of generals with a confused face with such a confident smile, most of them showed interested expressions.

"I know you have a lot of ideas! What, you want to make a big deal?"

"We don't have 3,000 people together, what great military feats can we have......"

"You speak first."

Hua Mulan scratched her face, feeling that it should have nothing to do with herself, so she wanted to go back and "implement" the spirit of General Xia's mission with her soldiers first.

"Mulan, don't leave yet!" Su Hejun hurriedly shouted.

"Huh? But military merit or something, isn't it that the fewer people the more ......"

"I need you so much!" Su Hejun was eager, "We need you very much for our strategy!" "

"……"

Mulan was silent for a while, and finally stopped.

"Thank you, brother!" Su Hejun smiled heartily

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, in a military tent.

"…… Therefore, the point of this strategy is that it must be very similar to that......" After Su Hejun finished his thoughts, he looked at Mulan with a smile.

"Mulan, your archery skills have become the key to us. If you can shoot a ...... from 150 paces."

"One hundred and eighty steps."

Mulan thought about it and suddenly opened her mouth.

"Huh? What do you say?"

"If Uli is willing to lend me his iron-tired bow, I can shoot at a target a hundred and eighty paces away." Hua Mulan also felt that Su Hejun's plan was very bold. But I think it's a bit reckless to put all such an important key on my side."

"That is, Mulan is indeed an unstoppable warrior......" It was a miscellaneous general of the Right Army who spoke, and the general who once made Mulan hungry.

But the people under her are so bad. I want them to hold out until we are ...... together."

"Begging for power!" Su Hejun shouted unhappily: "What are you talking about!" If everyone doesn't work together, there's no need to do this trap anymore. If you don't believe in your own people, how can you cooperate when the time comes? I can't afford to pit my own people! "

"I'm just telling the truth......" Qi Yili obediently closed his mouth in Su Hejun's eyes. Forget it, when my mouth stinks, what I just said was a fart! "

Su Hejun eased his face at this time.

Qi Yili is not afraid of Mulan, but afraid of this young man who often smiles.

It is rumored in the army that this young general has a very good background in the court, and it is very likely that the children of a noble family are hiding in the barracks because of family struggles.

Especially the speed of his promotion, which is already more eye-catching than Mulan.

He is the one who proposed this plan today, and if it were replaced by someone else, I am afraid that many people would turn around and leave.

"So, if I find something wrong, I'll send my own soldiers to contact you. Every time we go out in the future, we must ensure that at least three of us are close to the left, and even if we pursue, the other teams must follow, and the other teams will be on standby at any time......"

Su Hejun smiled.

"Whether you can catch a big fish or not depends on your cooperation." ——

Seven days later

[,！ A meadow north of Montenegro.

Mulan's team watched the movement in the distance behind the mound, and the horses were all muzzled to make sure they didn't make a sound.

"How many?"

Mulan asks the scout who just sneaked back.

"About a thousand."

The scouts replied with a pale face.

There is a pursuing vanguard army in the right army that has encountered an ambush, and a thousand Rouran people are not terrible, but if only three hundred people meet a thousand Rouran, it will be a disaster.

"Get ready to get on the horse."

"General Hua, we only have five hundred people, do you want to send some people back to the army to move the rescue soldiers first?" Chen Jie clenched the horse lance in his hand, "There is something wrong with this situation, what are those Rouran people waiting for?"

Wouldn't it be just waiting to come to the rescue and catch them all?

If they rush forward, they may fall into the trap of the enemy.

"Someone has gone to find help." Hua Mulan dropped a sentence that made Chen Jie confused, turned over on the horse, put the quiver behind her back, and reached out to stroke the horse's side.

The iron-tired bow hung within her reach.

Seeing that Mulan was the first to make a move, everyone immediately got on their horses, carried arrows behind them, and hung their bows in their hands.

All of them can ride and shoot, and their ability to ride and shoot is very skilled under Mulan's harsh training, at least not under most soldiers.

Mulan didn't talk to anyone about Su Hejun's schemes. If it was her subordinates who were captured, it was likely that they would have revealed the news to Rouran's side, and they would have been the ones who caught the turtle in the urn.

"Our goal is to try to make that group of creeps as chaotic as possible." She raised her voice slightly. No matter what happens, don't return! Hold them off until there are more and more Rouran people coming over! "

"General, how can we hold on to such a small number of people!"

A centurion cried out in panic.

"Besides, shouldn't we evacuate if we save people?"

That's what they've always done before!

Mulan sighed in her heart.

Although her "absolutely can't die" made her subordinates cherish their lives more than other soldiers, but as Di Yefei ridiculed, maybe she was too merciful and too obedient, and even made them forget what they came here for.

"I'm the commander!"

Mulan stirred up murderous anger and glared at the centurion who had spoken.

"When you need to dictate what to do!"

The centurion shut up and bowed his head in sympathetic eyes from the others.

Chen Jie is accustomed to using a horse lance, and it is not easy to quickly switch between long weapons and bows and arrows, so he and many knights who use spears and spears are always in charge of guarding when shooting arrows in robes.

Mulan is a general who doesn't like to charge, preferring to suppress opponents from a distance unless necessary. Chen Jie had been longing for his long lance to drink blood for a long time, and now that he saw that there was a possibility of a big battle, he immediately showed an excited expression.

War!

"Attack with me!"

Mulan let out a long shout, and the knights grabbed the horse's belly and ran.

The five hundred cavalry was a strange army, which came straight from the flank, and caught the Rouran people who were surrounding the lone army by surprise.

In the smoke and dust, Mulan's subordinates either armed with longbows or spears and horses, rushed to kill on horseback. The bow and arrow sneered and fired, and the one was invincible.

The Rouran soldiers in the outermost periphery were defenseless, and they didn't expect that the ten bajiu of this army were all men who controlled the strings immediately, and for a while, more than 100 people did not retreat into the formation in time, and they were all shot to death on the spot by the Hua army.

"……—)……！"

The sound of shouting in the Xiongnu language came from the Rouran army.

Got it!

Mulan is waiting for this talker!

Her ultra-long-range shooting is her killer weapon, and Mulan pulled the iron tire bow like a full moon, and shot out the Ming Di arrow that had been prepared between her fingers.

The Hammer Arrow is a favorite type of arrow used by a good general, and its sound will direct other shooters to shoot in the same direction.

Mulan's arrow was so fast that everyone could hear a short sound, and the person who gave the order from afar immediately fell off his horse.

Along with Mulan's arrows, there were also the sharp arrows of the hundreds of string-controlling knights under his command.

After the enemy generals fell off their horses, it did cause a commotion, and the hundreds of shooters on Mulan's side also caught the Rouran people off guard.

But the power of mounted archery cannot last long, and the two-wheeled cavalry will eventually close the distance.

Most of the Rouran people had shaved their hair and wore a braid on the back of their heads, or they were □□ on their upper bodies, or they were dressed in animal skins and leather armor, and they took advantage of the Wei army's arrows to draw arrows, and immediately quickly separated a group of men and horses to quickly approach.

Mulan's goal has been achieved, and the elite army led by Su Hejun is also struggling to kill in her direction. All that's left is to wait for the opportunity.

"After a round, change your weapons and prepare to charge. Chen Jie, take the second team of A and B to step forward! "

"Yes!"

Most of the Wei army were neatly armored government soldiers, because they fought against the Rouran people a lot, and they were accustomed to all kinds of strange dresses, and it was difficult to be afraid unless the recruits were eggs.

Chen Jie was finally able to let go and kill, and suddenly like a tiger out of the gate, he roared away with the forward team under the cover of the arrows of his teammates behind him.

I saw that these two teams of more than 100 people had hideous faces, and after shooting the enemy in the rear, they were random and fast. [,！ After crossing the horse, he waved his weapon to cut off the head, and threw it into the cloth bag next to the horse, and some of them directly wrapped the hair of the head around the belt, and after a while, they were dyed into a bloody person, and some of them were so heavy around their waists that they hung more than ten heads.

There are many fierce generals that the Rouran people have seen, but such a fierce team is rarely seen. I'm afraid that I have been underestimating Mulan and her subordinates when they see it, and they will be shocked.

Hua Mulan and the others bought time for their teammates in the rear, and immediately changed into the weapons they had in hand, leading the rest of the people to charge.

Team B is mostly spearmen, holding spears and spears and rushing to the front, followed by soldiers of the Flower Army with various weapons. There was a loud noise in the army, and the sound of long horns continued one after another, and it was obvious that there was a new backbone in the army.

At this time, Hua Mulan was already charging forward with a long knife, under her hands, cutting off her head was no different from cutting a watermelon, and there were Chen Jie and other pro-soldiers and lieutenants with long weapons guarding her side, just go forward and fight hard.

After a while, Mulan got closer again, and when she saw the new person who gave the order, she immediately threw away the long knife in her hand and drew her bow, bent her bow and took an arrow, and shot it with a sharp arrow, hitting the face of the person who spoke, and fell off the horse.

Before Mulan's battle, the arrows were smeared with poison, and the middle one's face was blue, and he was killed immediately.

In a rush to kill, hundreds of people were killed in an instant, and the people were piled up into a small hill, and the rest of the Rouran people saw that they had lost two generals in a row, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to open their mouths and shout anymore.

"General Hua came so fast!" Su Hejun's men and horses rushed out of the formation, and only half of the more than 200 people were left when they came, even so, he still smiled and shouted loudly in Chinese:

"Drag on for another half an hour, I understand the Huns, and the leader has already sent someone to find his leader!"

This is bullying Rouran, and few people can understand Chinese.

Of course, there were only a few in the Northern Wei army who could understand it.

Chen Jie is one of those few.

He turned back in disbelief, and looked at his general and shouted in Chinese:

"When are our people coming?"

"General Xia will be here in an instant!"

Su and Jun rode out and shook hands with Mulan.

Seeing the results here, he said happily: "I didn't expect you to kill hundreds of people with just one of your men, and even two enemy generals in the company. Now the situation is more in our side, and the creep side will definitely send more powerful characters! "

Mulan shook her head.

"Before, it was fast and slow, and strange wins. Now that they are on guard, they can't say if they can delay it for half an hour."

She looked behind Su Hejun.

He brought the elite of the right army, and the elite soldiers allocated to him by General Xia were used as bait in this scene, and more than 100 people died.

Mulan was a little unbearable.

She looked at the generals behind her again, almost all of them were bloody, after a round of killing, no matter how enthusiastic they were, they calmed down, and some people were afraid that they were already thinking about how to retreat.

After all, many times she is not the kind of general who is hard-hitting.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves and war drums came from a distance, and the veterans in the army knew whether it was a friendly army or an enemy army as soon as they heard the sound of horses' hooves.

At least three thousand people.

Or the cavalry in the Rouran army.

"General Hua, please let the last general break the queen!"

Chen Jie held the lance and asked for his life.

He felt that he had finally found the value of saving zài.

It's not about rubbing smelly socks, it's not washing clothes, it's not about wiping your back......

That's what he yearns for - the fate of being able to deliver his back to someone or to be delivered to someone's back.

"No one needs to break the queen."

Mulan smiled.

"This time, we're pioneers."
