Zhao Junsheng originally thought that today was another cloudy day, but he didn't expect that soon after the hour, the clouds in the sky were gone, the sun was shining, and he was bathed in the long-lost and rare sunshine, and the whole person was lazy.

The big boar was hung from a big tree by two soldiers, and the Oiran carried a bucket of steaming boiling water, scooped the boiling water with a water scoop and kept pouring boiling water on the big boar.

After pouring two buckets of boiling water, Oiran took a sharp knife and began to shave the hair of the big wild boar, and the pig's hair and a layer of skin were scraped off, revealing the white and chubby body.

The two watched for a while, then turned around and walked towards the hill, and Hua Mulan asked as she walked, "Brother Junsheng, when will you return to the Jinling camp?" ”

"I can't stay here for a long time after lunch, the soldiers of the baggage battalion must strengthen their drills, the carriages and sleds must be repaired, and we must find a way to get more food and meat for the soldiers, in short, a lot of things!"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at Mulan and said, "I'm not here, you have to take care of yourself!" Now your soldiers have only been training for two months, and their combat power is still far behind, especially in cavalry combat, you have not been trained in tactical tactics, and you are not the opponent of the Rouran reconnaissance cavalry, once the Rouran cavalry is coming, you must not risk going out of the fort to meet the attack, as long as you hold the fortress, a small number of Rouran reconnaissance cavalry is not able to take you! ”

Mulan nodded: "Well, I see!" ”

"Also, I've brought you a big wooden tub in a carriage so you can take a bath!"

Mulan's face turned red again, and she turned around and walked quickly towards the hill.

The two of them looked up on the hill and watched the soldiers busy on the fort wall, a scene in full swing.

In the mountains and forests three miles north of the hill, a Rouran detective rode a horse and stood on a bare rock on the top of the mountain and watched the busy scene here.

The distance was still a little too far, and the Rouran scout couldn't see how many people there were in this group of Northern Wei troops, and could only vaguely see that they seemed to be building houses.

After a long time, the Rouran scout jumped off his horse, tied the reins to the rock, and walked lightly down the hill with a light movement in his grip on the hilt, and he decided to get as close as possible to the hill to find out the number of these Northern Wei soldiers and the purpose of their visit.

The snow in the mountains and forests was very thick, and when the sun came out, the snow and ice began to melt, and the temperature was lower than the snow.

Worried about the steep slope of the mountain and slipping, Rouran Detective tried his best to be careful, and when he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, he relaxed his vigilance slightly, and as he walked, he saw human footprints in front of him, and he suddenly became nervous again.

With a nervous look, Rouran Detective pulled out his scimitar and bent his knees to make a defensive attack posture.

He slowly moved forward with his scimitar in his hand, observing his surroundings while looking at the footprints on the ground from time to time, and he followed the direction of the footprints' eyes.

After walking for more than ten meters, he didn't find anything abnormal, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his feet and continued to walk forward, but his feet suddenly stepped on the air, and the whole person fell involuntarily.

"Ahh

With a "poof", the whole person was pierced by the spikes of the wooden stake at the bottom of the pit.

On the hill, Zhao Junsheng's ears suddenly moved, he turned his head to look at the mountains and forests in the distance, just now there was an exclamation, although the sound was not loud, but he could hear it clearly, since cultivating internal force, his hearing has become more and more acute, and this voice has not hidden his ears.

Hua Mulan frowned, looked at Zhao Junsheng and said, "Brother Junsheng, how do I feel that I heard someone screaming, did you hear it?" ”

Zhao Junsheng tilted his head: "Follow me!" ”

The three of them rode horses and quickly ran towards the side of the mountain forest, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, the three of them tied their horses to the trees, Zhao Junsheng and Lu Xuanbo pulled out their long knives and swords, and signaled Mulan to take off the longbow and set up arrows, ready to shoot the enemy who appeared at any time.

Carrying the weapon and cautiously touching the mountain, Hua Mulan saw Zhao Junsheng taking him and Lu Xuanbo in the direction of setting the trap, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Junsheng, what are you bringing us here?" ”

"I suspect someone has fallen into the trap we have set, otherwise why would they scream?" Zhao Junsheng said and continued to walk towards the location of the trap.

Passing by three traps in a row, the traps were intact, Zhao Junsheng and the others finally walked towards the big trap that the big boar fell into, more than ten meters away, Zhao Junsheng and the three of them saw that the trap had indeed been destroyed, and the three of them immediately became nervous, Zhao Junsheng made a gesture to Lu Xuanbo and Hua Mulan, and asked the two of them to guard the surroundings, and he made a defensive gesture with a long knife and approached the trap step by step.

Coming to the edge of the trap, Zhao Junsheng stretched his neck to see that there was a Rouran Sentinel lying under the pit whose chest had been penetrated by several wooden stake spikes, and the exposed spikes had been stained red with blood, and the dead Rouran Sentinel was still wide-eyed, and his death was terrifying!

"Brother Junsheng, how is it?" Mulan pointed her bow and arrow around, and the arrow kept moving its position.

"Come and see for yourselves!"

When the two of them came to the edge of the trap and saw the corpse of the Rou Ran Sentinel lying below, Mulan's face became more solemn than ever, and she knew that the battle was not far from her and her men.

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look around, and found that there was a trail of footprints extending towards the top of the mountain, and at this time, Lu Xuanbo had already carried a sword and searched the way to the top of the mountain along the footprints.

"Come, let's get the corpse of this Rouran first!" Zhao Junsheng said as he stuck his long knife in the snow.

Mulan took his hand and slowly lowered him into the trap.

This Rouran detective didn't look big, but his weight was not light, Zhao Junsheng took some effort to pull him out of the spike of the stake, and then threw the body to the ground.

Some blood stains were sprinkled on the snow, and Zhao Junsheng cleaned the blood stains, camouflaged the trap, and restored it to its original state.

At this time, Lu Xuanbo led a horse and walked down from the top of the mountain, "Young master, this horse is tied to a big rock on the top of the mountain, it should be this Rouran spy!" Apart from the footprints of the horse and a man, nothing else suspicious was found! ”

Zhao Junsheng looked at Mulan: "Mulan, people died here and didn't go back, there will definitely be a Rouran detective to find you, I think you must prepare for defense as soon as possible!" ”

Hua Mulan thought for a while with a solemn expression, "Bring the corpse back first!" ”

Lu Xuanbo threw the body on the horse, led the horse and followed the two down the mountain.

Back at the Nantiangang camp, the corpses they brought back alarmed everyone, and even Zhao Junsheng's baggage soldiers also ran over to see the excitement, and it was the first time they saw the Rouran cavalry.

Another person in the crowd whispered: "It turns out that Rouran people look like this, so vicious!" ”

Someone next to him was disdainful: "It's a bird that looks vicious, it's not dead!" ”

Hua Mulan swept her eyes at the crowd and shouted: "All the soldiers are discussing with Benya!" Then he turned and walked into the tent.

The three soldiers looked at each other and walked into the tent in turn, and Zhao Junsheng also walked in.

Mulan's face was unprecedentedly serious: "You have all seen it, the Rouran cavalry has touched our noses, and our fort has not yet been built, you all tell me how to deal with it now?" ”

Hua Mulan originally wanted to let a few of her subordinates use their brains to think of a way, brainstorm maybe they can think of some ways, and then choose the best way to deal with it, but she usually looks serious and unsmiling in front of the soldiers, and the three soldiers don't dare to be presumptuous in front of her, so they all clasp their fists and say: "Subordinates and others obey the orders of the tooth master!" ”

Hua Mulan was helpless, she couldn't help but look at Zhao Junsheng: "Brother Junsheng, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Junsheng played with a dagger and a wood carving, thought for a while, and said, "Maybe this evening, maybe tomorrow, the other Rouran scouts will find the mountain forest in front, we have to build the fort as soon as possible!" Well, my baggage camp brothers and I will stay here for a day and help you build the fort!" ”

"In addition, we must also set up an early warning mechanism!"

Hua Mulan couldn't help but ask: "How to set up an early warning mechanism?" ”

Zhao Junsheng pointed to the mountains and forests a few miles away in the north and said: "Set up a secret post there, and once a Rouran detective appears, immediately report to this side through special methods!" If you don't care about being discovered by the Rouran people and we learned the news of their arrival, you can pile up a pile of dry firewood in the mountain forest, dig a pit nearby, just like making a trap, hide a person in it as a secret sentry, if you find that a Rouran detective appears, immediately shoot a rocket to ignite the pyre, as soon as the pyre is ignited, smoke and fire will rise, and you can find it at the first time! ”

Mulan nodded, "This is indeed a good way, but the dark whistle is easy to expose, and there is not much chance of survival!" What should we do if we don't want to be discovered by the enemy? ”

"Then use a more subtle method! From here, pull a string, hang a bell, the string is led to a few miles away in the mountains and forests of the hidden sentry side, if the sentry finds the Rouran cavalry, immediately pull the string, the string is pulled, the bell here will ring, so that we can know that there is an enemy! We can also make an agreement with the dark sentry that the enemy will only ring the bell once if there are less than ten people; More than ten people and less than twenty people, pull twice, and so on! If there are more than 100 people, the bell will be ringed quickly! ”

Hua Mulan listened to it with great vigour, relish, and couldn't help but praise: "Brother Junsheng's method is wonderful!" That's it! ”

Under the command of Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan, the soldiers on both sides immediately began to act, and the speed of building the fortress increased sharply, and several other soldiers went to dig traps and bury strings under the leadership of Zhao Junsheng.

The next morning, the sun rises and the snow melts further.

A few Rouran cavalry appeared on the top of the hill a few miles north of Nantiangang, these people were wrapped in fur inside, wearing cowhide armor outside, wearing fur helmets, with horsetails hanging behind the helmets, long furry ears hanging from both sides of the helmet, a leading ten-division commander waved his hand, and several Rouran cavalry around jumped off their horses and quickly dispersed around.

Not long after, a Rouran spy returned to the top of the mountain and reported to the ten-master: "Ten-master, the footprints of Terrich have disappeared halfway up the mountain, and I have found a man-made trap there, and there is a lot of blood in the trap!" ”
