Under the scorching sun, in the col eight miles northwest of Shimengou, Hua Mulan and more than 1,300 people of her right wing army hid under the shade and grass to enjoy the coolness.

"Hu Ying, pass on the general's order, while there is still time, let the soldiers tie their war horses to graze under the trees, and everyone hurry up to sleep and rest!" Hua Mulan instructed Hu Ying.

"Yes, General!" Hu Ying clenched his fists and turned to deliver the order.

The deputy general really came up, "General, do you say that Yao Zhao's army will definitely come?" ”

Hua Mulan said: "General Zhao sent people to track it before, Yao Zhao's army came from the direction of Shimengou by taking a small road, where else could they go except to attack Hedoro's men and horses?" ”

Fuzhen nodded: "This is also true!" ”

Hua Mulan turned her head to look at the soldiers who were sheltering in the shade of the mountain col behind her, and couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, three thousand elite cavalry, so far there are only 1,300 people left, most of them have been lost, and more than 1,000 of them were killed in the two-day mountain defense battle, I have to admit that the cavalry under her command is really only suitable for cavalry tactics, and treating them as infantry against real infantry, that really makes them die.

Seeing Mulan's expression, Fuzhen understood that she was grieving for the damaged generals, and comforted: "General, those soldiers who died in battle were killed in battle, and where they died, the general doesn't have to blame himself too much!" ”

Hua Mulan shook her head: "If I send a guard post in the direction of Yangwu in advance, I will know the news of the arrival of Yao Zhao's army in advance." I still didn't take precautions against the likes of Hedoro, I never thought that my own people would use the enemy's hand to deal with us, I am the commander of the army, and I am responsible for this! ”

Wu Dade, who joined the army, came over and squatted under a big tree next to him and said: "General, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, no general dares to guarantee that he has always been undefeated, all famous generals have grown up by learning and accumulating combat experience in battle!" ”

When Wu Dade and others enlightened Mulan, Zhao Junsheng and Youzhou Jun were already ambushed in a forest six miles southeast of Shimengou at this time, and everyone was lying in the woods and sleeping.

Zhao Junsheng took Li Bao and a few personal soldiers to check the sleeping state of the soldiers in the woods, and he had ordered that everyone must sleep, not to talk or discuss, and to accumulate mental and physical strength to prepare for the battle in the afternoon.

After inspecting and finding no problems, Zhao Junsheng walked under a tree and looked at his feet, and found that there were some black fruits on the ground, which seemed to be mulberries, and when he looked up again, he saw that the mulberry tree above his head was full of mulberries.

"Who's that, go get some tarpaulins!" Zhao Junsheng pointed to a pro-soldier and ordered.

The soldiers immediately went to get four tarpaulins and spread them under the mulberry tree under the command of Zhao Junsheng, Zhao Junsheng raised his legs and kicked on the trunk of the mulberry tree, and the mature mulberries fell on the tarpaulin like rain, and spread a full layer, black and swarthy, quite big, looking at it, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Wrap it up and go get some water to soak it!" Li Bao, you go to look for it again, see if there are still mulberry trees in the woods, and if so, get the ripe mulberries down for the soldiers to taste! ”

A few soldiers hurriedly went to dispose of it, and after a while, two soldiers came over with a piece of tarpaulin carrying a bag of cleaned mulberries, Zhao Junsheng grabbed a handful and threw one into his mouth, "Well, it tastes good, it's very sweet, with a little sour taste!" ”

Li Bao searched the whole forest, and really let him find a dozen or so mulberry trees that had borne fruit, and called some personal soldiers to shake off the ripe mulberries on these mulberry trees and wrap them in oilcloth to be cleaned.

Gathering all the cleaned mulberries together, Li Bao said to Zhao Junsheng: "It's almost more than two hundred catties!" ”

Zhao Junsheng grabbed another handful and said to Li Bao: "After an hour, no matter whether there is a warning on Hedoluo's side, wake everyone up, let everyone grab a handful and eat something!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng ate two handfuls of mulberries, fell asleep on a tarpaulin.

An hour later, he opened his eyes and woke up, and the soldiers were lining up to get the mulberries, and they ate them with relish, but each person could only get a handful, after all, there were three thousand people.

At this time, a Yan cavalry appeared on the side of the road leading to Baitan in the southwest direction of Shimengou, behind this person is a very hidden path, this path is sandwiched between two mountains, overgrown with weeds, if you don't walk in, you don't know that there is a road, this location is only five miles away from Shimengou.

"Go tell the General that we're at the exit of the path!" The leading scout captain commanded a cavalryman behind him.

The cavalry behind him immediately turned around and went back, and in the canyon between the two mountains about two miles away, Yao Zhao had just arrived here with his soldiers and horses.

The scout came to report: "General Qiyu, the exit is two miles ahead, and it is only five miles away from Shimengou!" ”

Yao Zhao immediately raised his hand, he took the horse and turned his head to look, and ordered the herald: "Go down with the order, and the whole army will rest on the spot!" ”

The shouts were passed on, and the soldiers tied their horses to rocks or tree trunks, and fell asleep in the grass.

Yao Zhao handed over the horse to his soldiers and instructed the scout: "Tell your captain, send a few people to disguise themselves as hunters to go to Shimengou to investigate, and see what the situation is in Shimengou now!" ”

"Yes!"

An hour later, the scout came back and reported: "General, it has been found out, Shimengou is still in the hands of our army, and the Wei army's Heduoluo Department is attacking!" ”

Yao Zhao couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "This Hedoro is really interesting, he thought I didn't know that he wanted to borrow my hand to get rid of Mulan and Zhao Junsheng, and he was still pretending to be here!" ”

At this time, more than a dozen generals under Yao Zhao gathered here, and one of them asked, "General, shall we attack Hedora now, or shall we wait for the brothers to rest?" ”

Yao Zhao fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he ordered his generals: "Gather all the cavalry and prepare to go!" ”

"Yes!"

Yao Zhao instructed a personal soldier: "Go and find Huangfu Yan!" ”

Huangfu Yan was soon brought to Yao Zhao by his own soldiers, and bowed down with his fists in his fists: "What does the general command?" ”

Yao Zhao affectionately beckoned Huangfu Yan to sit down and asked, "Does General Huangfu want to make meritorious contributions?" ”

Huangfu Yan smiled and said: "The general said that he was joking, who doesn't want to make meritorious contributions?" ”

"Well, General Ben will give you a fortune! Wait until late this night, you take the infantry of your headquarters to sneak to Shimengou, and when you get to the vicinity to quickly launch an attack, you must rush into the camp of the Wei army in one go, they are all cavalry, only more than 2,000 people, under your sudden attack, the Wei army will be defenseless, the soldiers will not find the generals, the soldiers will not be able to find the soldiers, everyone can not find the horses, you can defeat the Wei army without much effort, the rest is to capture the prisoners! ”

Huangfu Yan was overjoyed, and immediately got up and hugged his fists and said: "Yes, the last general will obey the order!" ”

Then Huang Fuyan felt that the troops were insufficient, "General, there are less than 800 soldiers left in our army, is this too few soldiers and horses?" ”

"It's a lot, you're a sneak attack, not a strong attack, eight hundred people are enough! Well, remember General Ben's words, and be sure to wait until after late at night before acting! After Yao Zhao finished speaking, he walked over to his horse.

When Huang Fuyan saw that all the cavalry had gathered, he chased after him with doubts and asked, "General, are you going to take away the large number of men and horses?" Where are you going? ”

"General Ben has other plans, you just have to do what General Ben orders!"

"That'······ What happened after the last general defeated the Wei army and the Hedora Division? ”

Yao Zhao said: "Naturally, I went to Yangwu City, and when I got to Yangwu City, I listened to Shangshu Jida's instructions and assisted in defending Yangwu City!" ”

"Yes, General!"

Yao Zhao left with 4,000 cavalry, and he was in a hurry, and no one knew what Yao Zhao was going to do with 4,000 soldiers and horses, and where he was going.

The sky gradually darkened, inside the leading camp outside Shimengou.

He Duoluo held back his anger, he walked around in the tent, scolding and scolding as he walked: "I think Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan are alarmist at all, if Yao Zhao had led the troops to kill, he would have already arrived, you see, now that it's dark, where can I see the shadow of Yan Jun?" Damn, I think this pair of dogs and men are playing Lao Tzu as a monkey! ”

Staff member Liu Zhubo frowned and said, "General, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan aren't so boring, right?" It's not good for them! Could it be that they come all the way in the scorching sun day and night just to tease you? That's not it! ”

"Don't believe it," exclaimed Hedora, "there are such people in this world who are eager to repay their eyes, and there are people who lack a tendon in their brains, and I think they are both!" ”

Master Liu couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to say: "It does take a lot of time to walk the path from Pinggang, maybe Yao Zhao's men haven't arrived yet, the general might as well wait patiently, since Zhao Junsheng and Huamu see that they want to play, why don't the general play with them?" Let's see what the hell they're up to! ”

He Duoluo thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, I like to hear what you say, they want to play, Lao Tzu will play with them, anyway, there is no loss!" All right, all of you, go back and let the soldiers rest! ”

Liu Zhubo hurriedly said: "General, let's guard against a little pulling, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!" In this way, half of the men and horses will be left on guard, and the rest of the soldiers will rest! ”

"Okay, that's it!"

In the middle of the night, Huang Fuyan quietly came over with eight hundred infantry, the advantage of infantry over cavalry is that it is much more concealed in action, if you want to sneak attack, it is not easy to be discovered, the sentry has been erased, and they can easily touch the vicinity of the Wei army's camp.

When it finally arrived, Huang Fuyan looked at the Wei army camp dozens of zhang away in front of him, pulled out his war knife and pointed forward and shouted: "Brothers, follow me into the Wei army camp and kill them all-"

"Kill—" The infantry of the Eight Hundred Yan Army came with the idea of being promoted and making a fortune, and they were full of energy and fierceness, and they quickly rushed to the camp with their weapons.

"Boom, boom······" Several traps were triggered in a row, and some infantry rushed into the traps and were nailed to death by spikes, and the advantage of the infantry was manifested, they were not fast and were able to stop or bypass the traps quickly.
