Chapter 257: Mulan

White Horse City is undergoing the most severe test since its founding!

On the night of the robbery of the camp, Temujin's army did not dare to move. After daybreak, the news that the herdsmen had fled, that the 3,000 defenders had been wiped out, and that the fate of Γ–gedei was unknown made Temujin furious.

Temujin sent an army of 50,000 men to pursue the fleeing herdsmen, and at the same time ordered the siege on all sides to prevent the city from giving White Horse any respite.

Most of the herders who escaped that night have been recaptured. Temujin ordered a strict interrogation of what had happened and where Ogedei had gone.

Temujin was relieved to learn from the herdsmen that Γ–gedei was still alive, and the news made him even more excited.

Wan Yankang, the city lord of White Horse City, actually left White Horse City!

Temujin laughed loudly, the commander of the first army actually chose to leave the city at this time, why worry that this city will not be broken!

Early the next morning, Temujin sent another method of filling the city with negative soil, and drove the remaining herdsmen to die. This time, he made up his mind, even if these tens of thousands of herdsmen died cleanly, he would fill the soil bag to the level of the head of White Horse City.

When the herdsmen were sent to death, Temujin also asked the army to shout in unison: "If the commander has fled, why don't you surrender early, so as to avoid death!"

When these words were just released, all the soldiers in the city scoffed, Wan Yankang, the boss, was so brave and powerful, how could he abandon the city and abscond.

But an hour later, the manager still hasn't been seen. Many people think that Wan Yankang has not seen him for a day yesterday.

The morale of the army began to be a little scattered.

Rumors are rife in the city!

Xu Daosheng had a headache, and after Huang Yaoshi returned to the city that night, he brought the news that Wan Yankang led a group of herdsmen to the west, and he strongly opposed it.

But the wood is already in the boat, so what can I do!

Compared with the two armies, the Qiyan Department is strong, and the White Horse City is weak.

White Horse City has Wan Yankang, an invincible coach, who instinctively boosts morale to a great extent.

As a result, the enemy shouted, your boss has run away!

Xu Daosheng convened the important generals in the city to discuss how to break the situation, but everyone thought about it and was always very difficult. Although Wan Yankang led the people to the west to dig out Temujin's lair, and strategically shared the pressure for White Horse City, it was inevitable that the morale of the soldiers in the city would be low.

Huang Rong was dressed in military uniform, took Tian Xiaowan and Li Mochou, and stepped into the conference hall.

Xu Daosheng frowned slightly: "Rong'er, we will discuss important matters......

Although Huang Rong once followed Xu Daosheng to govern, she had no right to participate in such a major military meeting.

Huang Rong arched her hand, bowed to everyone, and then said: "Military advisors, generals, my father-in-law is not here, and the wife should stand up and go into battle to kill the enemy!" ”

Xu Daosheng was shocked when he heard this: "Rong'er, how can you go into battle to kill the enemy?" ”

Huang Rong smiled slightly: "Sir, why don't we make two moves." ”

Xu Daosheng was stunned when he heard this, he was just a scholar, and in his early years, he learned a few qi training methods from Qiu Chuji to strengthen his body, but when it came to martial arts, he was afraid that he couldn't even beat a big soldier.

Huang Rong turned to the other important generals: "Generals, which one thinks that his martial arts skills are higher than the three of us?" ”

Everyone shook their heads in unison. Just kidding, who doesn't know that you are Aunt Mei's younger sister, Li Mochou's name, and now you can stop crying in White Horse City, Tian Xiaowan is said to be the sister of Tian Dali's wild boar, and she has been practicing martial arts on Zhongnan Mountain for ten years.

Huang Rong saw that no one objected anymore, so he said: "The news that the marshal is not in the city, since the enemy has released it, we might as well admit it generously." The three of us sisters, go into battle to kill the enemy, will we be weak and he will not be able to do it alone! ”

Xu Daosheng pondered for a moment, and suddenly stroked his palms and laughed: "Okay!" Good! Good! Since ancient times, Mulan has served in the army for her father, and now I have a good wife in White Horse City to kill the enemy for my husband, why worry about low morale! ”

White Horse City has four city walls, but there are only three city gates in the west, east and south, and Huang Rong's three daughters each stepped on one city gate to make the news of Yan Kang's departure from the city public.

As soon as the news came out, everyone felt that their courage was weak, and the strength of the arrow was reduced by three points.

But as Huang Rong explained the reason, and at the same time put the Wokuotai on a wooden stake and put it at the head of the West Gate, everyone rekindled their confidence.

Yes, how could the brave and invincible commander abandon the city and flee!

Temujin, do you want your son's life?

The barbarians of the beggar department, wait for my handsome man to copy your lair!

The army of the Qiyan tribe attacking the west gate was at a loss for a moment when they saw that Wokotai was hanging at the head of the city.

The congregation will ask what to do.

Temujin's face turned pale, but after a moment he returned to normal, and he flicked his whip in the air and shouted: "Continue the siege, don't pay attention!" ”

With the sound of the trumpet, the army of the beggar army continued to attack the city. It's just that when the arrows were released, the soldiers of the beggar department always deliberately avoided the side of Wokotai for a few feet.

Under the Iron Will's order, the remaining herdsmen were like moths to a fire, leaving their bags of dirt and their corpses under the city of White Horse.

Although the height of the negative soil is not equal to the city wall, the lives of these tens of thousands of herdsmen have already paved up several passages, which are enough for the army of the Qiyan to directly attack the head of the city.

The cavalry rode up on horseback, and although they could not jump directly to the top of the city, they could already swing their swords at the head of the city on their horses, or jump on the walls of the city with their strength on horseback.

Siege warfare, once it enters the stage of hand-to-hand combat, the advantage of the defending side is narrowed to a negligible level.

Huang Rong stood silently at the front of the city, pulling out the two scimitars at her waist.

At the same time, Li Mochou and Tian Xiaowan also pulled out their long swords and began to fight hard.

Although the coach is not there, the three main mothers are in danger, do not avoid arrows and stones, and fight on the front line.

Three delicate women can fight bravely to kill the enemy.

The men of White Horse City, what reason is there not to do their best!

Li Mochou and Tian Xiaowan both use their usual long swords to fight the enemy, and the martial arts of the two women, although they are not as good as the world's first-class masters such as Qiu Chuji, can be used to dominate ordinary soldiers for a while.

Huang Rong's kung fu on weapons was originally only able to handle the Luoyin Divine Sword, but this swordsmanship, which pays attention to the change of virtual and real, and the power on the battlefield is inevitably greatly reduced. A day ago, Huang Rong discussed with Huang Yaoshi that she would go to the battlefield in person.

Huang Yaoshi thought about it again and again, and created a double-knife method on the same day, which made Huang Rong practice overnight.

At this moment, she is invincible with both knives.

Originally, the soldiers of White Horse City were very mentally ill-prepared in the face of such a swift hand-to-hand encounter.

But seeing the heroic posture of the three master mothers bravely killing the enemy, whether it was the original elite soldiers of White Horse City, or the young herdsmen who had newly entered the city, they all abandoned all cowardice and hesitation, and began to sacrifice their lives and forget about death.

The screams and the clashing of swords kept ringing out.

The corpses of the people and horses who fell in battle at the head of the city and under the city continued to accumulate.

Inside and outside the city walls, the original white expanse was gradually stained red by blood, and then turned black and brown.

Temujin immediately gave orders a mile outside the city, encouraging his soldiers to fight the enemy bravely.

"Those who climb to the head of the city for the first time will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and the official will be promoted to three levels!"

Under the double fierceness of heavy money and heavy rewards, the soldiers of the beggar tribe rushed to the city one by one with a roar.

Within a day, the beggar tribe climbed the city dozens of times, but without exception, the first people to climb all threw their lives at the head of White Horse City.

Seeing that the city was about to be broken, a snowstorm came near night, which extinguished Temujin's thoughts of fighting at night, and he had to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops first.

After the enemy retreated, Huang Rong and the three girls sat back tiredly, but before they landed, they were all supported by the people behind them.

The three women went into battle to kill the enemy, and they did not stop for half a day. Although they are strong in martial arts, after all, they are in battle for the first time, and women's physical strength is not as good as that of men, if it weren't for Huang Yaoshi, Zhou Botong and Lin Nianying guarding behind them, every time they come to the rescue in times of crisis, I am afraid that someone would have died long ago.

Huang Yaoshi hugged Huang Rong and said fiercely: "That stinky boy, I want him to look good when I come back!" ”

Huang Rong said softly: "Daddy, Brother Kang is only afraid that it will be more difficult!" ”

Huang Yaoshi paused slightly, he felt sorry for his daughter, and he was a little angry with Wan Yan Kang, but when he thought that Wan Yan Kang was alone and led a group of herdsmen to the west, he was afraid that the situation would be even more difficult.

After a while, he said slowly: "Rong'er, don't go into battle again tomorrow!" ”

"Daddy, how can this work? The situation is like this, if my daughter doesn't come, I'm afraid that ......" Huang Rong frowned.

Since ancient times, the way of attack and defense, before the city was broken, the attacker suffered a loss, and the defender took advantage.

Because the walls of White Horse City were not high, and Temujin was taking advantage of the land, the defenders had almost no geographical advantage at this time.

If it was a pure competition of manpower, Temujin had 300,000 elites, and White Horse City only had 50,000 elite soldiers.

The 100,000 herdsmen who have newly entered the city are young and strong, and under the incentive system, it is natural to fight a good war. But in the face of the crisis, how long it can last is unknown.

"In the cold winter, I don't know where Temujin dug up so much soil?" Huang Rong regained a little strength, walked to the head of the city, and looked at the earthen bags and the corpses of people and horses that were almost level with the head of the city.

Huang Yaoshi's eyes suddenly lit up, snatched a spear from a soldier beside him, jumped out of the city, and stabbed him around a few times. When he returned to the city, he threw away his spear and laughed out loud.

Early the next morning, the army of the Beggars continued to assemble, and with Temujin's order, a trumpet sounded, and the army began to attack the city.

Temujin talked and laughed with the generals, asserting that the destruction of the city was today.

The first wave of warriors was still dozens of steps away from the city, and suddenly felt something strange under their feet.

Last night's blizzard was supposed to cover the earth bags and corpses under the city, but at this time, under their feet, it was not a white expanse, but a black sticky thing.

Seeing that the soldiers at the forefront were about to arrive at the head of White Horse City, they saw countless torches thrown down in the city, and the firelight spread rapidly along these black sticky things, and the startled horses neighed one after another, and involuntarily turned around and retreated.

But in just such a short period of time, there are already many people in the beggar department, and they are stained with sparks. The warriors, who were on fire, ran backwards in terror, and when they reached the snow, they jumped off their horses and extinguished the flames on them.

The fire set in White Horse City did not cause much damage to the beggar department. But as time passed, Temujin's face gradually turned blue.

Under the White Horse City, as the flames burned, the corpses of the people and horses that were originally piled up under the city were also constantly burning.

The "earth mountain", which is almost flush with the head of the castle, is also gradually sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It turned out that the negative earth used by Temujin to fill the city was not really earth. He did the same thing by simply asking the herders to wrap the snow in cloth wraps.

And under the fire, the cloth bag began to burn, and the snow began to melt.

The fire burned for two hours, and after two hours, all the "dirt mountains" that were originally as high as a zhang xu melted, leaving only a patch of ice nearly a hundred steps below the city.

Huang Yaoshi stood at the head of the city, brushing his beard with his hands, his abundance and handsomeness, which made people heartbreaking.
