The shouts and screams were endless, Hua Mulan carried the sword and slashed one by one, continuously slashing and stabbing straight until the sword curled and there was a gap before throwing away the sword, picking up a war knife and continuing to slash.

In this battle, there was no military formation, no command, and in such an environment and snow-covered conditions, it was useless for the military formation to be laid out, and the thick snow seriously hindered the movement of the generals and made it impossible for the military formation to exert its power.

As the infantry of the Youzhou Army, who had undergone rigorous and hard training, they could still form an attack group of three or five or eight or nine people to cover each other and attack each other even if they could not be arranged into a large military formation.

And the warriors of Kumoxi's Mukun tribe can only fight on their own, in such a situation, the Kumoxi people naturally can't defeat the Youzhou army, and one by one Kumoxi's soldiers are besieged and killed.

The battle lasted until Mulan slashed her sword and two picked up knives.

At this time, it was already past noon, and Mulan looked at the battle that had collapsed five gaps, and threw it on the pile of corpses.

Li Bao looked left and right with the blood-dripping axe, and saw that the battle had ended, and the Kumo Xi people had all been resolved, so he put down the big axe and said to Mulan: "General, in such an environment, there is no way to set up the military formation, and there is no time to put down the military formation, even if the military formation is placed, it is tied because the snow is too deep, fortunately, the soldiers have trained a group of three or five people on weekdays to cooperate with tactics and individual combat tactics, otherwise the casualties in this battle will definitely increase greatly!" ”

Hua Mulan said: "Compared with previous years, the training of the officers and soldiers in group cooperation and individual combat strength has increased a lot in the past two years, and it is precisely because of this that our soldiers can gain an advantage and gain the upper hand in this battle!" Needless to say, the herald left a number of troops to clean up the battlefield, and the others followed me to quickly join up with the scouts and pathfinders! ”

"Yes!"

Li Bao arranged for one to stay behind to clean up the battlefield, and took the rest of the men and horses to follow Mulan around the avalanche buried valley, and continued along the slopes on both sides of the valley.

In a few moments, Mulan led a large group of people to join the building responsible for exploring the way, and the scout team was also not far away.

The scout team officer walked over and clasped his fist at Mulan: "General, we have found the hiding place of the Kumo Xi people before the avalanche, it was too late to report to the general, now that the avalanche is over, the battle has taken a lot of time, and the subordinates are worried that the remaining Kumo Xi people will withdraw in time when they receive the news of their defeat, and it is recommended to speed up and move forward now to catch them before they evacuate!" ”

Mulan was overjoyed when she heard this, and said, "You think very thoughtfully, lead the way ahead!" ”

"Yes!"

Hua Mulan turned around and waved to the generals behind her: "Keep moving, the people behind you follow, don't fall behind!" ”

Although the scout captain said that the hiding place of the Kumo Xi people Mu Kunbu was not very far away, the army still walked for half an hour because the snow was too thick.

"General, look!" Li Bao said as he advanced the double axe.

Hua Mulan looked at the opposite side of a leeward valley, there were many camp tents in the valley, and there were many caves under the cliffs on both sides, and nearly 2,000 men, women, old and weak had gathered in front of the valley camp.

There were also more than 300 adult men of the Mukunbu tribe, who stood in front of the old and weak women and children with weapons and resolute expressions, and those who were also carrying sticks, shovels, clay pots, and stones.

"General, it looks like they're planning to fight us to the death!" Guo Da, who was standing on the side, said to Mulan.

Hua Mulan can't see it, these people are in ragged clothes, all of them are hungry and yellow-skinned, they originally grabbed a lot of grain and grass materials from Fancheng and Pinggang, but they only had time to enjoy it for less than ten days before they were killed by the Youzhou army, and the stolen grain and grass baggage was too late to take away, these days they are hiding here with little food and pitiful, everyone has been hungry for several days, and adult men are so hungry that they have no strength, not to mention those old and weak women and children.

"Send the order, let the brethren be vigilant, be ready for battle, and obey our military orders!" Mulan gave the order.

The military orders were passed down one level at a time, and soon spread throughout the entire army.

The air seemed to freeze, the sky was even colder, and everyone in the valley opposite was expressionless and indifferent to life and death.

Hua Mulan watched this scene and kept telling herself in her heart that Ci is not in charge of the army, and she must not be soft-hearted, and once she is soft-hearted, she is joking with the lives of the soldiers. Although these old and weak women and children of the Kumoxi people are innocent, are the people of Fancheng and Pinggang not innocent? Aren't the old and weak women and children killed by the Kumoxi people innocent?

Heavy snow fell from the sky, countless livestock froze to death, and the heavy snow sealed the reward, so that the Kumoxi people could not find food, they stretched out their butcher knives to the people of Fancheng and Heping City in order to survive, and the people of Fancheng and Heping City were slaughtered, who can blame this? Is it to blame God? Or do you blame the Kumo Xi people for being too cruel?

Mulan was a little dazed and very hesitant in her heart.

"Kill-" The warriors of the Mukun tribe who stood at the front raised their maces and rushed towards the Youzhou army, and the three hundred warriors of the Mukun tribe behind him also roared with all kinds of weapons and rushed over, they believed that the battle has always been a narrow road to meet the brave to win, and only the brave and fearless and fearless can win the battle.

The beast-like roar from the opposite side woke up Mulan, and she had no choice, and ordered Li Bao: "Order the whole army to prepare bows and arrows!" ”

Li Bao immediately turned around and shouted: "General's order, bow-"

Boom, everyone took off their longbows.

"Control-" Li Bao yelled again.

All the soldiers of the Youzhou Army took the arrows and wound them and drew their bows.

"Shoot-"

"Whoosh ······" A large number of arrows flew out, and the arrows were swept one after another.

One by one, the Mukun tribe fell on the way to charge, and after the last three hundred Mukun strong men charged, more than a thousand old and weak women and children behind them also rushed up with their rudimentary weapons screaming.

The soldiers of the Youzhou army continued to shoot arrows, and when they rushed nearly fifty meters away, Hua Mulan gave the order, and the ten rows of Youzhou troops in front discarded their bows and crossbows and arrows, picked up their shields, knives and spears and lined up closely and steadily advanced.

All the Mukun tribe who rushed over were killed by the knives of the Youzhou army, or they were cut to the ground, or they were stabbed through the body with spears, or they were shot to death by arrows.

Hua Mulan has always warned herself that since she is leading the army to fight, she must harden her heart, but when she really saw those old and weak women and children of the Mukun tribe rushing up with weapons but being ruthlessly slaughtered, she still couldn't help but close her eyes.

The last old man Kumoxi fell in a pool of blood, and the battle was over, since in such cold weather, the blood that had just flowed out was instantly frozen into ice, and the air still exuded a strong bloody gas.

Hua Mulan opened her eyes, and there were corpses of Mukun people lying everywhere on the battlefield, and none of them were alive.

"Clean up the battlefield!" Mulan waved her hand, her spirit was a little weak, she knew that her mentality was wrong, and she needed to adjust.

Li Bao hugged his fists, he noticed Mulan's abnormal appearance, looking at the corpses of old people, women and children all over the ground, he knew the reason for Mulan's abnormal state, he didn't make a sound, hugged his fists, and turned around to arrange for the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Guo Da is obviously very experienced in this area, and he also saw that something was wrong with Mulan, and persuaded: "The last general knows that the general may not be able to bear the death of those old and weak women and children, and the last general is not qualified to preach to the general, the last general just has a sentence to tell the general, no matter who anyone, as long as he goes to the battlefield with a weapon, there is no innocent!" Since these people are constantly being men or women, old men or children, as long as he is armed with weapons, he is the enemy, and if the soldiers do not kill them, they will kill the soldiers! ”

Just a few simple words, Mulan's eyes gradually cleared up after listening to it, Guo Da was right, these people are not unarmed, not unconfrontational.

Mulan's heart was gone, she recovered her spirits, and ordered: "Come on, send someone back to report to General Guo!" ”

Under Mulan's arrangement, some of the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield and buried the corpses, and the other part of the soldiers began to camp and build stoves to live in rebellion.

Previously, in order to march and search for the enemy, the soldiers were gnawed dry food every meal, and even after drinking, they could only stuff snow water into their mouths, but now that the men and horses of the Mukun Department have all been solved, there are no other enemies around, and the soldiers can finally take a good rest and eat a hot meal.

Early the next morning, Hua Mulan ordered to burn down all the camps left by the Mukun tribe, and returned to the camp with the generals to join the main force.

Guo Sheng, Cui Hao and others greeted them outside the camp with officials and the generals who stayed behind.

"Congratulations to the general on his victory!" Officials and generals clasped their fists and bowed.

Hua Mulan clenched her fists and said: "Let you worry, this battle still depends on the desperate service of the soldiers to win!" By the way, Guo Da Guo Shi Brother has made a great contribution this time, if he hadn't reminded General Ben that he couldn't speak loudly in the snow-covered valley, this time General Ben and these two thousand soldiers might have been buried deep in the mountains and old forests! ”

Someone hurriedly asked: "General, what's going on?" ”

"Let's go into the camp and talk, go in and talk!"

Someone immediately chimed in: "Yes, yes, yes, the generals and soldiers are tired, let's talk about it after entering the camp!" ”

After entering the camp, Guo Sheng reported to Mulan: "General, Wei Chi Yandong and General Fu Zhan jointly sent a messenger to report the battle with the Ahui clan, they used the same method as the general, the Ahui clan wrestled with them in the mountains for several days, and finally was forced to engage them, the two sides fought a bloody battle, our side won a miserable victory, more than 1,600 people were killed, and the Ahui clan was wiped out, the leader Yu Chukuzhen and dozens of people were captured by our side, and the other Ahui clan people were all wiped out!" ”
