Chapter 359: Conditions

Da Xi Guangliang listened to Hua Mulan's words and frowned and asked, "Let's send troops from the middle road, it was ordered by the Duke of Hedong?" ”

"No, it's an errand that the last general asks to advance from the middle lane!" Mulan said.

Da Xi complained with a bright face: "Oh, General Hua, you have made me miserable now!" ”

Hua Mulan was puzzled: "Why did the general say that?" ”

"General Hua, you think, they are advancing to the west from the north and south roads, and the Rouran people in the north and south directions must flee to the middle in order to escape for their lives, so our army will be under tremendous pressure!"

Hua Mulan shook her head with a smile when she heard this, and said: "The general is too worried, the south of Woye Town is my Northern Wei sphere of influence, and the Rouran people must be more defensive against the south, and the Duke of Hedong only has 3,000 troops in the hands of the Zongzi Army, and the Rouran people will not flee without a fight; Our army is advancing in three directions, and if Rouran wants to escape, he will not flee to us on the middle road, but will only flee to the north, and they can cross the desert into Mobei, so wouldn't it be safer? The King of Yicheng, who is in charge of the advancement of the North Road, is definitely under a lot of pressure! And my middle route army is precisely the most relaxed, because we are from Huaishuo Town, Huaishuo Town was previously occupied by the Rouran people, where will the people of Woye Town guard against this direction? ”

When Da Xi Guangliang heard this, he slapped his palms, a smile appeared on his face, and he laughed: "Hahaha, listening to General Hua say this, we are afraid that this trip is really the most relaxed!" But don't worry, I won't tell the Duke of Hedong and the King of Yicheng about this, why are we also grasshoppers on the same rope now? ”

The corners of Mulan's mouth twitched, "I know that the general is not a bad person!" ”

"Uh······ Of course, I'll never betray my friends, hahaha······"

Sure enough, as Mulan analyzed, under their rapid advance along the way, the Rouran tribes along the way were completely defenseless, and the resistance they encountered was very small, and they were simply overwhelming along the way.

Watching Da Xi Guangliang and the soldiers of the Shuzi Army rush into the residence of the Rouran people and kill and slash indiscriminately, even the old and weak women and children did not let go, Hua Mulan frowned, slaughtering the powerless old and weak has happened several times along the way, and she has been enduring it as if she didn't see it, so as not to have a dislike with Da Xi Guangliang.

But this time it was different, this time there were a large number of women and children in the Rouran camp, she couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately rode her horse to Xi Guangliang's side and hugged her fists and said: "General, let the soldiers stop, the soldiers have killed all their adult men, these old and weak women and children are no longer a threat to us, there is no need to kill in vain!" ”

Da Xi Guangliang waved his hand, and said with a disapproving expression: "General Hua, I found that you are very kind of a woman!" If you have such a weak mentality, I advise you not to join the army, and ask Your Majesty to let you be a magistrate! Treat the worms, whether they are men, women, young or old, and never be merciful! If you do what you say, what will you do if you don't kill them? Could it be that someone will send them to the capital? Or send troops to watch over them? We have to rush to Bigan City to join His Majesty's main army!" ”

Hua Mulan bit her lip and didn't give up, "General, these old and weak women and children have no power to resist, they are actually already prisoners, and it is ominous to kill prisoners since ancient times, please think twice!" ”

Da Xi Guangliang was very displeased, "General Hua, when did I go out to the army not to kill, rob, or burn all?" Which breach of the city was not a massacre? Why didn't you see anything ominous? You're worried! ”

"Butchers, beasts, pigs and dogs are not as good!" Hua Mulan scolded in her heart, and ran away with a cold face, out of sight.

In the afternoon of the next day, Da Xi Guangliang and Hua Mulan led their troops to ten miles east of Woye City, and their men and horses suffered almost no losses.

After the three groups of men and horses converged, they set up camp in the same place, stayed here for one night, and decided to attack the Fertile City where the Rouran people were entrenched tomorrow.

At night, Hedong Gonghe Duoluo sent people to find Hua Mulan, Qiu Mu Lingshou, and Da Xi Guangliang to discuss matters.

"Three, the general has sent scouts to investigate the situation in Woye City, and all the surrounding Rouran people have already hid in Woye City, we don't know how many Rouran people there are in Fertile City for the time being, if we send people to sneak in, it may not be easy, and it will take a long time, and we don't have much time to waste!"

"Therefore!" Hatoro glanced at the three of them at this point, and continued: "No matter how many Rouran people there are in the city, our army will attack the city early tomorrow morning, and it must be breached within two days at most, otherwise we will not have enough time to rush to Bigan City to join His Majesty's main army!" ”

Da Xiguang nodded and agreed: "Yes, in my opinion, it is still up to the protectors of King Yidu to undertake tomorrow's siege battle, after all, Huaishuo City was also fought by you!" ”

Qiu Mu Lingshou's eyes widened: "What?" Do my Protectors deserve to die? Huaishuo City was defeated by our army, and the next Fertile City should also be attacked by your two troops and horses! ”

Hedong Gonghe Duoluo smiled and said to Qiu Mu Lingshou: "King Yidu, I have just said, we don't have much time, your guards already have experience in attacking the city, don't bother the two masters!" If we let our men and horses attack the city, we will have to run in for a few more days, delaying the time to join Your Majesty, you will be responsible? ”

"You······ You are clearly going to trap my guards and generals! I don't do it! Qiu Mu Lingshou angrily played the scoundrel.

He Duoluo immediately scolded: "Qiu Mu Lingshou, Your Majesty's will is to order me to be the main general, you and Hua Mulan are the deputy generals, this general is not discussing with you now, but ordering, do you dare to obey?" ”

Qiu Mulingshou was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he was helpless, he didn't dare to disobey the military order, so he could only swallow the bitter fruit, and his expression was still indignant, and he clenched his fists and agreed: "Yes!" ”

He Doro was satisfied, and Da Xi Guangliang was also satisfied.

He Duoluo looked at Hua Mulan with a smile, "General Hua, tomorrow's siege will be handed over to you to command, or will the guards be handed over to you, the original team is also easy to command, what do you say?" ”

Hua Mulan was tired of seeing the ugly faces of these people, she clenched her fists and said: "General, it is really unwise to attack the city without knowing the enemy's situation, please forgive the general for not obeying his fate!" ”

Hodoro's face changed.

Seeing this, Da Xi Guangliang immediately said, "General Hua, do you know what you're talking about?" Are you going to disobey military orders? ”

Hua Mulan sneered in her heart and refuted: "General, don't give someone a hat to be indiscriminately buttoned, someone can't afford to disobey the military order!" We rush to attack without knowing anything about the enemy's situation, this is not a war, and death is for the soldiers to die! Even in front of His Majesty, someone would dare to say that! ”

When Mulan moved the emperor out, Hedoro didn't dare to act rashly, and he wanted to use the power of the commander to force Mulan to commit it, but he could only give up, although he was so angry that he wanted to cut Mulan immediately.

He Doro asked with an ugly face: "So you have to wait until you find out the enemy situation in Woye City before you are willing to take over the command of the siege?" But don't you know that we don't have enough time? ”

At this time, Qiu Mu Lingshou sneered and said: "Hedong Gong, you said that you don't have enough time, why not send some people to sneak into the city overnight to investigate?" Or why not disguise yourself as a fleeing Rouran and sneak into the city tomorrow? ”

"The walls are so high and the guards are so tight, you say you can sneak in? Why don't you give it a try? Hedoro retorted loudly.

Da Xi Guangliang looked at this posture, he was afraid that there would be no result if he continued to quarrel until dawn, he spoke out to stop a few people from continuing to make noise, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I want to remind you that we are now grasshoppers on a rope, if we can't recover Woye Town, we can't rush to Bigan City to join Your Majesty within the specified time, if Your Majesty blames it, none of us will have a hard time, don't quarrel, let's all think of a way!" ”

The remaining three people also died down when they heard this, Da Xi Guangliang didn't do what he said, everyone is a person on the same boat, if they can't complete the combat mission and can't rush to Bigan City at the specified time, no one can give an account to the emperor.

He Doro suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Mulan: "It is impossible to send people to infiltrate Woye City in a short period of time, since the Rouran people already know that we are coming, they will not strengthen the garrison, if the city wall can easily let the fine work infiltrate, what is the role of the city wall?" Therefore, sending people to infiltrate the city to find out the news will not work in a short time, I wonder if General Hua has any other way, how can you be sure of commanding the siege battle? ”

Mulan's eyes flickered, but she was thinking, and after a cup of tea, she looked at Hedoro and said, "If Grandpa really wants to command the end of the future, Grandpa must agree to a condition for the last general!" ”

Hedora thought for a moment and asked, "What are the conditions?" ”

"After the city is broken, no prisoners are allowed to be killed, no slaughter is allowed to be carried out!"

He Doro groaned for a moment and promised, "Okay, my father promises you!" Come, send an order, if the city is broken, allow the Rouran people in the city to surrender, and the soldiers are not allowed to kill the prisoners, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled! ”

"Yes, Grandpa!"

He Duoluo looked at Mulan: "General Hua is satisfied now?" ”

Hua Mulan nodded, and said to Da Xi Guangliang: "General, early tomorrow morning, you will take the concubine army to the city to scold, let the Rouran defenders open the city gate and surrender, the more ruthless the scolding, the better, if they don't accept the surrender, but open the city gate and rush out, you are not allowed to fight, just turn around and retreat!" ”

Da Xi Guangliang was puzzled: "It's that simple? But this can't break the city! ”

Hua Mulan made a straight face: "General, now it is the commander of Hua, please obey the military order, don't ask why, what should be let you know will naturally let you know, and not letting you know is worried that you will mess things up!" ”

Da Xi Guangliang had no choice but to agree: "Okay, okay, isn't it just to take people to the city and scold them fiercely, my guys like to do this the most!" ”
