"Ben General, as the general of the garrison, how can he sit in the camp and let you go to defend against the enemy? Let's go, General Ben will also go up to the city wall to have a look! With that, the leopard took the hilt of his sword and walked out of the tent.

Mulan and the others looked at each other, and as long as they let them go up the city wall, they followed behind one by one.

When they came to the city wall, they found that the Rouran soldiers were climbing the hillside with a large number of slaves, and the high platform at the foot of the mountain was erected again, this time very firmly, and dozens of Rouran archers stood on the high platform, and these people were constantly firing arrows on the wall.

The guards on the city wall were suppressed, the sword and shield men blocked the front with their shields, the spearmen hid behind the sword and shield soldiers, the archers hid behind the female wall battlements, and the others could not stand on the city wall at all, and their bodies were exposed to the range of the opponent's bow and arrows and they were easily shot.

As soon as the leopard had climbed the city wall, an arrow was being fired at the door in front of him, and he immediately drew his sword and knocked the arrow, and took a few steps forward, and there were no more arrows shooting at the wall, and he knocked three arrows in a row, and only then did the soldiers run and block him with their shields.

The leather leopard hid behind the shield and shouted: "Mulan, let the Rouran people shoot like this, the soldiers don't dare to show their heads at all, how can they defend?" ”

Hua Mulan waved her long sword to keep blocking the arrows that were fired, and said loudly: "Don't worry, General, we already have a way to deal with their arrows, and the craftsmen are currently building defensive tools!" ”

After speaking, Mulan shouted to Zhao Junsheng next to her: "Zhao Dutong, how did the craftsman build the door panel?" ”

"I'll ask them to carry the finished door panel first!" Zhao Junsheng replied, and while retreating towards the stairs, he swung his knife and slashed the arrows that were fired, retreated to the stairs and shouted under the city wall: "Pei Jin, let the handymen go to the craftsman team first to lift the built door panel!" ”

"Yes, Totong!" Pei Jin under the city wall agreed, and immediately ran to the station of the craftsman team with some handymen.

It didn't take long for the door panels to be carried on the wall by the handymen, who turned their backs to the north and leaned against the female wall.

"Knock ······" Arrows were fired at the door.

A piece of door panels were erected on the edge of the female wall, and the arrows shot were blocked by the door panels, and the door panels that were one foot high were enough to block the field of vision of the Rouran archers on the high platform outside, and as the door panels were erected under the female wall, the high door panels blocked the body of the defenders, and the Rouran archers on the high platform outside could not see the defenders behind the door panels at all, and all the arrows were blocked.

There is some space between the two door panels, so that the defenders can stick their heads out to check the enemy troops under the city wall, and when the enemy army erects the siege ladder on the city wall, the defending spearmen immediately use their spears to pry the siege ladder and push the siege ladder down, and the slaves and slaves on the siege ladder are so frightened that they scream and fall down, and the soldiers and slaves below are either stoned to death or injured.

Even if slaves and soldiers climbed the city wall, they were blocked by the door panels, and they tried to get through the gaps in the door panels, but they were attacked by spears and knives, and they were either stabbed to death by spears or hacked to death by long knives.

As the soldiers continued to send up the built door panels, the entire section of the city wall and fortress was blocked with door panels, and the Rouran archers on the high platform could not shoot the defenders at all, and the narrow gap between the door panels was not so easy to shoot into, a large number of arrows were shot on the door panels, and dense arrows were inserted into the door panels.

In front of the army formation of Rouran at the foot of the mountain, the commander Dana sat on horseback and watched this scene, and couldn't help scolding: "Who the hell came up with such a ghost idea, and actually used the door panel to block my son's attacks and arrows?" ”

A handsome man rode over and reported to Da Na with a bitter face: "Da Shuai, the sons and slaves can't attack it." You see, they used a one-foot high door panel behind the women's wall, and even if they climbed the battlements of the city wall, they could still be blocked by the door panels, but they could shoot arrows at us, and they could attack us with swords and spears, and the sons suffered heavy casualties! ”

Da Na's face was gloomy, his eyes rolled, and he ordered: "Come on, equip the archers on the high platform with rockets, shoot those door panels, burn them, I see what else they can do!" ”

"Yes, Dashuai!"

Bundles of rockets were hoisted on the platform, and the archers set fire to the arrows, which were tied with strips of oilcloth, and fired their bows at the door, which burned and burned and extinguished itself.

At first, the defenders were quite worried that the door panels would be burned, but when they found that the rockets had not burned the door panels, they were relieved, because the wood used for these door panels was freshly cut down trees, and the wood was wet, how could it be burned?

The attacking Rouran soldiers and slaves under the city walls could not be supported by long-range archers, and the siege ladders were always pushed down, even if they had just climbed the wall at a great price, and several spears were stabbed in succession from the gaps in the door panels, and there was no way to dodge.

A Rouran soldier climbed up the battlement of the city wall, a spear stabbed, he immediately hid behind the door panel, but the hand that grabbed the side of the door panel was exposed to the attack range, a long knife slashed, the hand of the Rouran soldier was cut off, and the whole person also fell down the city wall, smashing down a slave who was climbing the siege ladder, and the two smashed several people.

This scene was staged all over the city wall, and the Rouran soldiers could not climb the city wall at all, but suffered heavy casualties.

When the leopard saw this scene, he suddenly felt relieved, turned to Hua Mulan and said, "With you in charge, Ben will rest assured!" Ben will go to the castle tower to rest for a while, and come to report something! ”

"Yes, General!"

Rouran Xiaoshuai, who was in charge of the on-site command, saw that the rocket did not work, so he had to return to the military formation and report to Da Na: "Da Shuai, the rocket does not work, it failed to burn their door panel, our bow and arrow can't hit them, but they can hide behind the door panel and shoot arrows at the sons and daughters on the high platform, the casualties are too great!" The Admiral asked to withdraw the besiegers first, and then attack when he thought of a way to break their defenses! ”

Dana was also very annoyed, he thought he had thought of a good solution, but he didn't expect this method to work, so he had to agree: "Okay, the order is to withdraw the troops for the time being!" ”

With the sound of a trumpet, the Rouran soldiers and slaves retreated.

Today's defense of the city is relatively easy, and the soldiers did not have much effort, but the Rouran people suffered a lot of losses.

Hua Mulan immediately ordered: "Come on, take down all the arrows on the door panel, and the Rouran people will send us arrows, we can't help but appreciate it, and accept it all!" ”

The guards laughed, and together they lowered the door panel to collect the arrows nailed to it.

Zhao Junsheng muttered in his heart, remembering that there seems to be a story in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms about Zhuge Kongming's grass boat borrowing arrows, and today Hua Mulan actually used the door panel to borrow arrows, not only borrowed arrows, but also successfully prevented the long-range suppression of the Rouran people.

In the official history of the "Three Kingdoms" Pei Songzhi's citation "Wei Luo" recorded that once Sun Quan provoked Cao Cao, Cao Cao could not hold out, Sun Quan took a boat with a large number of naval warships to Cao Jun Shuizhai to check the virtual reality, Cao Cao saw that Sun Quan's fleet had arrived, so he ordered to release arrows, ten thousand arrows were fired at once, all the arrows were shot on the ship, the weight of a large number of arrows made the ship begin to tilt, so Sun Quan ordered to turn around, and the other side of the boat after the U-turn was shot a large number of arrows, so the ship was balanced, not only to figure out the reality of Cao Jun, but also to bring back a large number of arrows.

Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but ask Mulan: "Mulan, how did you come up with the idea of letting the craftsman build a door panel so that it can not only defend against the opponent's long-range bow and arrow suppression, but also get a large number of arrows?" ”

Hua Mulan smiled and said, "Didn't you recommend and give me some history books that day?" I read the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, and only then did I remember the part in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms that recorded that Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, led a fleet to provoke Cao Cao, so I had an idea to think of this method! ”

Zhao Junsheng had to admire, Hua Mulan This is a real living and learning, the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms only recorded such a thing, and Sun Quan did not really rush to the idea of borrowing arrows from Cao Cao, it was purely a coincidence, but Hua Mulan was able to find and learn from such a record to defend the city.

Books are still extremely precious in this era, and ordinary people have no chance to come into contact with them at all, and in later generations, a series of books on the art of war and strategy, such as "The Art of War", "Six Tao", "Sun Bin Art of War", "Thirty-six Strategies", etc., can be bought anywhere, and countless people have read them, but how many people can really learn and apply them?

In reality, there are very few opportunities to be able to copy the knowledge and knowledge learned, and the difference between people is that some people can improve the knowledge they have learned and use it, while others cannot. It's like there are many people who say that the knowledge you learn in school can't be used in society at all, but it's not that you can't use it, but that you haven't learned how to use it.

After some collection and inventory, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan found that they had collected more than 3,000 arrows.

When Mulan saw that the besieging Rouran soldiers and slaves had withdrawn, she sent someone to put down the hanging baskets and put some soldiers down the city wall to clean up the corpses, otherwise the corpses would be piled higher and higher, and the height difference between the city wall and the ground would be smoothed, and the enemy could step on the corpses and rush onto the city wall.

Although the Rouran people also saw this scene, they did not come to disturb them, and they knew that even if they sent people to attack them, the defenders on the city wall would soon pull people up, and it would be in vain to go.

Less than half an hour later, the Rouran attacked again, and the archers climbed up to the platform again, holding their shields in front of them in order to block the arrows of the defenders of the wall.

Suddenly, an arrow with a rope tied to it shot out and hit a door panel, which was immediately pulled tight, and the door panel was pulled up and fell off the city wall.

As soon as the Rouran archers on the high platform saw that this method worked, they immediately shot a large number of arrows with ropes, all of which were shot at the door panels, and the other end of the ropes was under the hillside outside the city wall, and many slaves pulled hard, and the door panels were pulled out of the city wall one after another.

Soon the door panels of the city wall were pulled away one by one, and the large number of defenders hiding behind them were exposed to the bows and arrows of the Rouran archers.

Casualties began to appear, and one by one the soldiers fell with arrows.

Mulan shouted: "The people behind are all squatting, the sword and shield soldiers are blocked with shields, and the archers are counterattacking!" ”
