The frightened Yanpu fled for more than ten miles with the remnants of the defeated army, and found that there were no pursuers in the rear before stopping, and found that Xiao rode more than 10,000 people and horses through the inventory, and only more than 7,000 people were left at this time, and this battle was directly reduced by more than 3,000 horsemen, this is all elite, how to explain to the emperor?

Yanpu, who suffered a defeat, was worried that he would be calculated by Princess Tuzhen again, so he didn't dare to pursue it easily, and after discussing with his staff, he led his troops back to the Jinling camp.

At this time, Hua Mulan, Zhao Junsheng and the others in Nantian Fort had no idea about Yanpu's defeat, and it was dusk after they withstood the two waves of attacks of Rouran's army again in the afternoon.

After a full dinner, the defenders of Nantianbao began to prepare for the night attack under the organization of Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan and others, and three flags had been hung on the city during the day, which was a signal to Lu Xuanbo, who was mixed in with the slaves, telling him to raid the camp of the Rouran Army in the early hours of the morning, and let him instigate the slaves to cooperate.

Hua Mulan decided to gather all the less than 300 cavalry in Nantian Fort and let them be the first wave of attack force in the raid, rushing into the camp at the high speed of cavalry, so that the Rouran army had no chance to organize troops to counterattack.

The second wave is the more than 2,000 heavy battalions under Zhao Junsheng's command, which will be used as the main force to attack the camp of the Rouran army.

"It's better to send someone else to clear the patrol rangers and secret posts on the periphery of the Rouran Army camp, the two thousand men and horses of the baggage battalion are the main force of the attack, if you are not there, in case the others can't command, won't you give up your efforts?" Hua Mulan said to Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng smiled and said, "You can rest assured about this, I have already ordered Gao Xiu, Gao Xu and Xue Andu to obey your orders when the time comes!" Besides, you went with you last night, and who knows the location of those sentry posts except the two of us? In addition, those patrolling rangers, it is not easy to kill them quietly, it is not difficult to kill them, but if the war horse is frightened and neighed when killing them, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the Rouran people, this is not an ordinary job, ordinary people can't do it well, let others go I don't worry! ”

Imagine that in the dark of night, there is no animal that is not frightened, and the frightened horse will inevitably neigh, and it is difficult to kill the knight quietly without frightening the horse.

Mulan also knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she had to whisper: "Then you must be careful!" ”

In the middle of the night, when the soldiers in the battalion were still asleep, the men began to make a fire to cook, and the big steamed cakes were steamed fragrantly, and the pot was still boiling with beef bones and wild vegetable soup.

When it was ugly, the food was all cooked, and the soldiers were woken up one by one, if it was a weekday, it would definitely be blowing the horn of assembly, but because it was going to be a night attack, it must be kept secret, and it could not make too much noise, so as not to be heard by the Rouran people outside the Nantian Fort.

"Eat more, this is for you!" Hua Mulan put a large piece of beef bone in Zhao Junsheng's bowl.

There is a lot of meat on the beef bones, Zhao Junsheng cut off a piece of meat and put the rest in the Mulan bowl, "I have to work later, I can't eat too much, people will become lazy when they eat too much, and they want to sleep, and they must have a little bit of hunger to have energy!" ”

"Why are you so crooked? If you want to eat, you will eat, and if you eat more, you will have enough strength to withstand hunger! Hua Mulan put the meat and bones in Zhao Junsheng's bowl again.

Zhao Junsheng was helpless, so he had to nibble on a steamed cake and then bite on the meat and bones.

While eating, he asked: "I have explained everything to the baggage battalion and are ready, but how are the three hundred cavalry on your side prepared?" They're going to take the lead, don't do anything wrong! ”

Mulan replied, "Wrap the horse's hooves in cloth, put a clamp on the horse's mouth, and according to what you said, it's all ready!" ”

"And one more thing you forgot, give each soldier a stick, put it in his mouth when marching, and forbid them to speak! By the way, the baggage camp is still not used up, I'll go find Gao Xiu later! Zhao Junsheng reminded.

"Good!" Mulan agreed, remembering something and asking, "How do I know that you've got it?" ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "I was about to tell you, there is a lookout on the edge of the Rouran army camp facing the direction of Nantianbao, you can see a big fire not far below the lookout when you stand on the city wall, and the patrol will add some wood to it every time it passes, so it will not go out easily all night, when it goes out, it means that I have succeeded, you can lead the team out of the customs and touch it, the cavalry should not ride when approaching the Rouran army camp, they will lead the horses away, and then get on the horses and raid after meeting with me!" ”

Hua Mulan nodded: "Got it, I'll lead the team to attack when the time comes!" ”

After eating, Zhao Junsheng began to prepare, he changed into a light cowhide armor, a leather helmet tied to his chin with a tie, a bow and a quiver on his back, there were thirty arrows in the quiver, a waist knife hung on the left waist, a crossbow and two arrow boxes hung on the right waist, each arrow box was equipped with ten crossbow arrows, and a sheathed dagger was tied to the right calf.

The soldiers were also beginning to prepare, the cavalry were at the front, their horses were clamped and wrapped in their hooves, and even the knights had a stick tied around their necks, which they had to hold in their mouths when they were ready to move.

In addition to weapons and bows and arrows, each cavalry prepared a torch, which was not used for lighting, but for arson, the main responsibility of the three hundred cavalry was to first rush into the camp and set fire, burn the grain and grass hoarding points, let go of the stables, let go of the war horses, and then attack the Rouran army that wanted to assemble, as long as the Rouran army tried to assemble in formation, they had to rush over to disperse the Rouran army, which Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan had already discussed.

These three hundred cavalry are the only cavalry left in Nantian Fort that can fight, and there are not only Mulan's subordinates in them, but also the soldiers and horses under the command of Mona Loujin and Ulolanqi, but they all have to follow Mulan to carry out night attacks now.

The leather leopard originally wanted to participate, after all, he is a young man, and it is difficult to use the tactic of night attack without conditions, but now that he has the conditions to use it, he naturally does not want to miss this rare experience, but several subordinates have strongly persuaded him to stay in the town, with him sitting in the South Heavenly Fort, the generals who participated in the night attack can also rest assured, the generals say so, what else can he say? Zi Neng suppressed the impatience in his heart, and left the remaining two or three thousand people in Nantian Castle.

Zhao Junsheng grabbed the rope and slipped down the city wall, and the corpses of a large number of slaves and Rouran soldiers who died in the siege during the day were still lying under the city wall and on the hillside without cleaning up, and it was also thanks to Zhao Junsheng that since he had cultivated his internal strength and true qi, his eyesight was different from that of ordinary people, and he stepped on the gap between the corpses and quietly went down the mountain.

When he came to the foot of the mountain, he did not directly touch the Rouran military camp three miles away on the opposite side, but touched the high platform of the mound next to it, and there were still people on duty on the high platform that the Rouran people had piled up with 20,000 slaves for two days, if they were not cleared, the more than 2,000 soldiers and horses who were on standby in the Nantian Fort would not be able to quietly get out of the pass.

The mound platform is compacted and solid, the slopes are hammered, and there are ladders to reach the top.

Zhao Junsheng bypassed the fire under the high platform, and quickly and lightly climbed to the top platform of the high platform from the side.

On the platform, two Rouran soldiers were walking back and forth, one armed with a spear and the other with a bow and arrow.

Zhao Junsheng waited under the platform for a few minutes, observing the patrol patterns of the two guards, and after figuring out their mobile patrol patterns, he pulled out the dagger tied to his calf, flew up and flew behind the guards holding bows and arrows on the top platform of the high platform.

Without the other party noticing, Zhao Junsheng covered the opponent's mouth with one hand, and the dagger on his left hand instantly stabbed from the leather armor tie between the opponent's left ribs, and the soft bow and arrow guard convulsed twice and collapsed in Zhao Junsheng's arms.

Zhao Junsheng quickly put down the corpse, and a dodge appeared behind another Rouran spear guard, the other party just turned around but was covered by Zhao Junsheng and pressed against the guardrail, the cold light of the dagger flashed, and the Rouran spear guard stared at him with wide eyes and did not move, the dagger had been inserted into his neck, cutting off the carotid artery blood supply to the brain.

In addition to these two guards, there were a dozen or so Rouran soldiers on the high platform, who were either leaning against the guardrail or lying on the ground, but they were all asleep.

Zhao Junsheng sent them one by one with a dagger to report to Lord Yama.

After solving the guards of the Rouran Army on the high platform, Zhao Junsheng quickly walked down the ladder and touched in the direction of the Rouran Army camp.

The Rouran army, which did not set up a camp to guard it, put a lot of effort into patrolling and vigilance, and the Rouran Rangers patrolled the perimeter of the camp frequently.

In the staggered gap area of the patrol, there is definitely a hidden sentinel, and once it is discovered by the dark sentinel, it will immediately warn.

Zhao Junsheng's task is not easy, he not only has to clear the dark post, but also has to clear the patrol post, the dark post is good to say, generally only one person, at most two people together, hiding in a fixed position, but the patrol post is not easy to deal with, generally there are four to six cavalry, both spear cavalry, scimitar cavalry, and archery cavalry.

With the memory of sneaking in last night, Zhao Junsheng easily killed a secret post in the outermost area, but he left, but continued to hide in the position of this secret whistle, the two patrols from the left and right must connect with the secret post here, and only turn around and continue patrolling after confirming the safety, Zhao Junsheng plans to wait here and wait for the rabbit.

Soon after, the patrol on the left came, in a line, in a straight line, and they did not go fast on horseback, until they reached the ground, and the leading Rouran cavalry drew his scimitar and struck the scabbard twice.

Zhao Junsheng had already detected in advance that this was the joint code to confirm safety, and he also responded by striking the scabbard twice with a secret whistle knife.

Safe!

The leading cavalry put his sword into the sheath, pulled the reins, beat his horse, turned around and returned to continue patrolling, and the other Rouran soldiers followed behind him.

When this patrol team went a little farther, Zhao Junsheng immediately got up and followed, lightly, and when he chased behind them, he immediately launched the ghost dance method, a black shadow flashed like a phantom in the dark, and every time he flashed, a patrol cavalry lay on the back of the horse and died, but after only two or three breaths, this team of Rouran patrol rangers was all killed, but their horses were still lining up and carrying the corpses to continue to advance.
