After a good night's sleep, Mulan was in good spirits, had a great appetite, and ate deliciously.

"Brother Junsheng, it will take two days to march from Fancheng to Pinggang even if you are fast and whip up the fastest pace, even if Lao Lu runs fast, how can you come here so quickly?" Mulan asked as she ate.

Zhao Junsheng said: "We captured a lot of horses in Fancheng, Lao Lu arrived the night before yesterday, we prepared with a night's things, set off early yesterday morning, marched at the fastest speed along the way, Marcel people did not stop, rushed to Pinggang City late last night, I didn't bring troops to kill first, on the one hand, I was worried that the Yan army would be alarmed and finally made a melee, then the gains outweighed the losses, on the other hand, I think I should give Hedoro some lessons, so I first led the troops to attack Pinggang City without defenders! ”

Hua Mulan was confused when she heard this, and she stopped eating, "Brother Junsheng, what the hell is going on, how did I hear it in a daze, and what does it have to do with Hedoro?" ”

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to explain to Mulan, "I sent someone to Yangwu to investigate, He Duoluo wanted to borrow the hand of the Yan army to get rid of you, so he deliberately slowed down the march during the march, leaving enough time for the Yangwu guard Yao Zhao to deploy, Yao Zhao on the one hand sent hundreds of soldiers to intercept He Duoluo in Shimengou, and on the other hand, he led troops to attack your right wing army!" With the strength of Hedora and the situation of the Yan army in Shimengou, he only needed one day to capture it, but he fought for three or four days, and he was still pretending until now. So I think we should teach him a lesson, and treat others in their own way! ”

Hearing this, Hua Mulan finally understood, "You captured Pinggang County first to scare Yao Zhao away, he will not dare to return to Yangwu by Pinggang, so he can only take the small road to Shimengou to attack Heduoluo!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded and said, "That's it!" ”

Hua Mulan really didn't know what to say, she knew that Zhao Junsheng was doing this to be angry for her, but she didn't approve of Zhao Junsheng's approach, the contradiction between her and Zhao Junsheng and He Duoluo was just a personal grudge, even if she wanted to play tricks against the other party, she shouldn't pull the Yan people in, it was like two brothers fighting, one of them borrowed the hands of outsiders to deal with the brothers, this kind of behavior will be despised.

"Brother Junsheng······" Hua Mulan hesitated for a moment, but finally plucked up the courage to say: "I know that you defend me and want to be angry for me, but doing so will kill and injure many leading soldiers, although they are led by Hedoro, they are not his private soldiers, they are innocent, and they should not be implicated in the grievances between us and Hedoro!" ”

"It is hateful that Hatoro wants to use the hand of the enemy to kill his comrades, but we must not be the same, otherwise what difference will we have from him? Brother Junsheng, do you say? ”

Zhao Junsheng was silent and didn't say anything for a long time.

Mulan looked at him quite nervously, worried that he would misunderstand her, she was not blaming her, but just persuading him not to use this method in the future.

After a long time, Zhao Junsheng came back to his senses, looked up and saw Mulan looking at him nervously, with a smile on his face: "Mulan, what are you nervous about?" Are you worried that I'm going to lose my temper and say that you don't know what to do? You're right, I did something wrong, I shouldn't have used the same bad means against Hedora, he deserves to die, but we can't kill him with this means, as you said, the soldiers who led the army will be innocent, they can't die under this conspiracy! ”

Hua Mulan felt delighted and threw herself into Zhao Junsheng's arms.

"It's a pity that Yao Zhao has already led his troops to attack Hedoro, and we can't save those leading generals!" Hua Mulan muttered to herself in Zhao Junsheng's arms.

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's not impossible, Yao Zhao and they are taking a small road, the road is difficult, they have to walk for five days to arrive in two days, we can send troops overnight to change horses and not change people at the fastest marching speed to rush to Yangwu, detour behind Shimengou to attack the Yan army stationed there, I hope it's still too late!" ”

Mulan immediately said, "What are you waiting for?" Brother Junsheng, give the order, now give the order to prepare, we will set off in the middle of the night! ”

Zhao Junsheng hesitated: "You and the officers and men of the Right Wing Army have been fighting for several days in a row, and you haven't rested well, can you do it?" ”

Hua Mulan immediately said: "Brother Junsheng, you are too worried, the soldiers are still young, and they all have a day off during the day today, no problem!" ”

"Well, that's the case, let's go and give the order now, and set off for Yangwu in the middle of the night!"

"Hmm!"

Late that night, the prepared Youzhou Army and the Right Wing Army set off for Yangwu under the command of Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan.

Two armies march in one army, and one out of every three men carries a torch, and when one of them is finished, the other soldier lights the torch to keep it from being extinguished.

Along the way, everyone quickly whipped their horses, so that the war horses were in a trotting state, and the war horses changed horses when they were tired of running, and the soldiers were tired and lay on the back of the horses to sleep, eating, drinking, and lazing all on the horseback.

At about midnight the next day, the army arrived outside Yangwu City, and the army stopped for a while, and the soldiers ate, urinated, and fed the war horses.

The arrival of this army frightened the soldiers and civilians in Yangwu City, and the remaining two hundred defenders were all sent to the city wall, even so, the city wall still looked sparse, and at a glance it seemed that there were only a few people at all.

Zhao Junsheng summoned Bai Jinguang to explain: "Bai Jinguang, according to the news obtained by our spies, now there are only two hundred defenders left in Yangwu City, and I will give you a thousand people, do you have confidence in staying and defeating Yangwu City?" ”

Bai Jinguang immediately straightened up and replied, "Yes!" Please rest assured, when the general captures Shimengou and solves Yao Zhao's department, the last general will send good news here! ”

"Then I'm going to be waiting for your good news!"

The army only stayed for half an hour, and Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan led the army to march again, and they turned around and headed west, and this road led to Shimengou.

Along the way, Zhao Junsheng rode a horse, while turning his head to check the state of the soldiers in the rear, the soldiers of the Youzhou Army under his command could still hold on, although they marched day and night for several days, they did not experience high-intensity combat, and Mulan's right wing generals were not good, they had experienced high-intensity combat, at this moment they were all sleeping on horseback, they were all too tired to work, even Mulan couldn't hold on, and slept from noon to evening.

When Mulan woke up, she found that the army was in an open field, many of the soldiers had dismounted and moved, and some were setting up tents.

"Brother Junsheng, where is this?" Hua Mulan asked in a daze, with Zhao Junsheng by her side, her vigilance was greatly reduced, and many things in the army were explained by Zhao Junsheng, and she didn't even know when she was picked up by Zhao Junsheng from the horse.

Zhao Junsheng was holding a rice bowl and drinking batter, when he heard the sound and turned his head to see that Hua Mulan in the camp had woken up, got up and said with a smile: "There is still half a day's journey from Shimengou here, I have ordered the army to rest here, wait until midnight and set off again, launch an attack before dawn, and strive to go down Shimengou to meet Hedoro's men and horses in a battle!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Junsheng threw a piece of beef jerky into his mouth and beckoned to a nearby soldier: "Go and get a bowl of batter for General Hua!" ”

"Yes, General!"

It takes too much time to make a fire on the way to make rice, the rations of the soldiers are fried noodles, that is, some grains such as wheat and millet are washed and dried and fried, and then ground into powder, packed in cloth bags before marching, and a cloth bag of fried noodles is issued to the soldiers for them to carry, and when they eat, they grab a handful and put it in a pottery bowl with boiling water, and then stir it into a batter to eat, but this kind of marching dry food tastes very bad, and the nutrition can not keep up, because the human body needs a variety of vitamins, and a single pasta can not be satisfied, And the shelf life is not long, in case of rainy and humid weather, it is easy to get damp and moldy.

But this is also something that cannot be helped, marches and battles have to eat this kind of thing, as for steamed cakes, pancakes, and other things can only be made during the rest period.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan each ate a bowl of batter and nibbled on some beef jerky, and the two hurriedly hurried to sleep, and when they got up when they slept to the sea, they ordered the herald to blow the trumpet to wake up the soldiers and generals to assemble and set off.

The soldiers carried torches and rode horses on the road again, and in order to reach Shimengou before dawn and attack, Zhao Junsheng had to order the soldiers again and again to speed up the march.

At the same time, in order to keep abreast of the situation in Shimengou, Zhao Junsheng sent a reconnaissance team to investigate the news first.

Halfway through the hour, the army finally arrived ten miles away from Shimenmen, and the reconnaissance cavalry team also sent someone to deliver the news that the Yan generals stationed in Shimengou were sleeping at the moment.

At dawn, when people are the most sleepy, and it is also the time when they are the least alert, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan led the men and horses to the grazing march speed, minimizing noise, and finally arrived at the foot of Shimengou at the beginning of the hour.

"Fan Guiting, the generals under your command are all infantry, more suitable for attacking the mountain than the cavalry, give you a task, take your people to attack the Yan army on the mountain on the left!" Zhao Junsheng called Fan Guiting and gave him an order.

"The last general obeys!"

Fan Guiting had 800 infantry under his command, while the Yan army stationed on the mountain on the left originally had 400 people, but in the past few days, they were attacked by Hedora and lost more than 100 people, leaving only more than 200 people.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was just dawning, Fan Guiting took his infantry to dismount and quietly touch the mountain with weapons.

Halfway up the mountain, the infantry led by Fan Guiting was finally discovered by the Yan army sentries stationed there, and a loud whistle sounded to indicate the enemy attack, which also marked the official start of the battle.

Fan Guiting's soldiers killed from behind, and the Yan army stationed there could be said to be defenseless, and in a panic, Fan Guiting took the men and horses to the top of the mountain in one go, and the battle ended in only half an hour.

On the other side of Shimengou, Hedora heard the sound of fighting and fighting, and ran out of the tent and wondered; "What the fuck is going on? Could it be that these Yan soldiers were stabbed by their own people? ”
