"Ha, hey, ha!" Hua Mulan cultivated the sword technique in the open space of the military camp under Nantiangang, and her one move and one style were powerful, and she let out a shouting sound from time to time.

Hua Hai rode a horse and galloped over, "Li-" He stopped his horse and shouted while dismounting: "Lord, something is wrong, just now our patrol found a large number of horseshoe prints and horse manure at the foot of the mountain twenty miles to the west, and there is a small road that seems to have just been opened up and crosses the mountain to the north of the mountain, and the direction of the horseshoe prints has been leading to the direction of Jinling Daying!" ”

Hua Mulan stopped at this time, and her face changed greatly when she heard this: "You mean that there is a Rouran cavalry that opened a small road from the north of the mountain to the south of the mountain and went straight to the camp of Jinling?" It's not good, the owner of the baggage battalion who sent the baggage back yesterday said that the thousands of cavalry of the King of Yongchang have been transferred to Da'e Mountain to garrison, and now there are only 3,000 baggage soldiers left in the Jinling battalion of Junsheng's brother! ”

Hua Hai's face suddenly turned pale: "Isn't it dangerous to say so, uncle?" How is this good? ”

Hua Mulan immediately decided: "I'll go to Mona Lou to borrow horses, and you go and send an order for the brothers to prepare horses, weapons, bows and arrows, and prepare to set off to rescue the Jinling camp!" ”

"Yes!"

Hua Mulan quickly came to Mona Loujin's camp tent, and when she saw that he was having breakfast, she immediately said: "Mona Loujin, just now the patrol team came with news, they found an unknown number of Rouran cavalry over the twenty mountains in the west and headed for the Jinling camp!" ”

"Bang", the knife in Mo Nalou's hand to cut meat hung on the plate and made a clear sound, he suddenly got up: "There is trouble now, the Jinling camp is empty, there are only 3,000 heavy soldiers of Brother Zhao, if the enemy cavalry is not much, they can block it, if the enemy army is numerous, they are afraid that they will not be able to hold the Jinling camp!" ”

Hua Mulan's face was solemn, and said: "Our patrol is a trip every two hours, this unknown number of Rouran cavalry should have come over the mountains when our patrol returned around ugly time, they must keep the war horses strong enough when they arrive at the Jinling camp, so their marching speed cannot be too fast, I guess they should have just arrived near the Jinling camp at this time, we must go to the rescue!" ”

Mona Loujin thought for a while and nodded: "Since we know the news, we should indeed go to the rescue, but how many soldiers and horses should be sent?" If there are too many factions, the garrison here will be insufficient, and if there are fewer factions, it will not make much difference! ”

Hua Mulan said: "In this way, I will take my second building to rescue the Jinling camp, in order to arrive as soon as possible, lend us your horses, and you two battalions will stay behind, even if the Rouran army storms this Nantian Fort, you can still hold on for a few days, what do you think?" ”

“······ I agree, but our task is to hold the Nantian Fort, if there is no order from the top to act without permission, if something happens to the Nantian Fort, if the above is investigated, no one can bear the responsibility! ”

Hua Mulan remembered that Zhao Junsheng was still in the Jinling camp, and she was anxious, although she had seen Zhao Junsheng set up the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation to confront the cavalry of the Right Guard, but after all, it was just a confrontational exercise, not a real sword and a real gun.

Thinking of this, Hua Mulan gritted her teeth and said: "I will send someone to report the military situation to General Pi, as long as there is no accident in Nantianbao, the above should not be investigated, if someone really wants to take responsibility, I will do my best to bear it, at this time it has nothing to do with the two of you owners!" ”

Mona Loujin felt deeply guilty when she heard Mulan's words, her blood rushed to the top of her head, and she blurted out: "What are you talking about?" If the above is pursued, I will bear it with you! Come, give me my command, and lend our horses to the second building. ”

"Thank you!" Mulan hugged her fists and turned to leave.

Outside the camp in Jinling.

The soldiers have been arranged in a gossip pattern in the open space two miles north of the camp, this is the improved Bamen Golden Lock Formation, the formation changes more, can deal with more emergencies, and strengthens the protective force of the central general as the eye of the formation, even if the enemy general is familiar with the formation and knows to enter from the Shengmen in the southeast direction, but if you want to go out through the large array from the west gate, you must also pass through the central commander.

The soldiers sat cross-legged on the grass and devoured their meals, and Zhao Junsheng, Gao Xiu, Gao Xu, Xue Andu and others were also eating with the soldiers.

The horsemen and coachmen parked their carriages on the periphery of the Great Array, one by one closely connected, leaving only the eight entrance portals of the Great Array empty.

The soldiers who had finished their meal were brought down from the wagons bundles of arrows, ropes, and shields under the command of the officers, and those who did not have shields were assigned a shield, and all the arrows were moved to the archers in the middle of the large array, and the archers of the three battalions together numbered more than a thousand men, which was rare to see such a large proportion in an army.

"Dutong, the Rouran people are here!" A sentry overhead shouted.

Although the temporary platform in the middle of the large array is simple, it is made of logs as support, paved with wooden boards, and there are watchtowers and arrow towers in the middle of the platform, which will serve as Zhao Junsheng's command platform and array eye.

Zhao Junsheng stood up when he heard the shout and looked north, and could see smoke and dust rising into the sky several miles away, and faintly saw the dark triangular banner with a pattern on the Rouran army.

"Someone, send an order for the grooms and coachmen to leave quickly, and for the soldiers to speed up and eat!"

With Zhao Junsheng's order, the horsemen and coachmen quickly withdrew to the camp, and the soldiers ate a lot faster.

On the wall of the camp, An Yuan, Gu Bi and some other officials and staff, as well as their own soldiers, all looked nervously at the smoke and dust rising from the sky in the distance.

When the Rouran cavalry got closer, someone next to him said: "Hey, the number of this Rouran cavalry is not very large, it seems that there are only more than 1,000 horsemen, now Zhao Dutong should be able to command his baggage battalion to block them!" ”

Zhizhong asked worriedly: "Marshal, can Zhao Junsheng's 3,000 people stop these Rouran cavalry?" ”

Yasuhara didn't say anything, frowning and looking ahead without saying a word.

The overseer of the army, Yu Shi Gubi, was also a person who knew the soldiers, and he was brave and resourceful when he was young. He answered this question for An Yuan: "The last time Zhao Junsheng's baggage battalion and the cavalry of the Right Guard Army fought against each other, after all, it was just a drill confrontation, not a real fight, this real fight is essentially different from a fake fight, and it's really hard to say whether Zhao Junsheng can stop these Rouran cavalry!" ”

An Yuan only then spoke: "No matter whether Zhao Junsheng can stop these Rouran cavalry or not, we must go all out, gather all the pro-soldiers and generals with war sabers, bows and spears to get ready, as long as the war changes, we will immediately go out of the camp with this commander to meet the Rouran people, we can't wait for death here, if we want to die, we have to pull a few Rouran people to cushion their backs!" ”

Gu Bi praised An Yuan's words, and also admired his courage and courage as a coach at this time, and immediately responded: "This official agrees, I have fifty personal soldiers, all of which will be handed over to the marshal!" ”

The other generals looked at each other, and they all handed over the command of the pro-soldier generals, and these pro-soldier generals gathered under Yasuhara's order, and counted the number of people, and there were nearly 200 horsemen.

Zhao Junsheng stood on the high platform and saw that the Rouran cavalry, which was only more than two miles away from the army, had stopped, and immediately raised his hand, and the herald horn immediately blew the horn: "Woo-woo-"

Even if there are still a very small number of soldiers who have not finished eating, they quickly stood up at this time and quickly stuffed their mouths with food, food cannot be wasted, even if they want to die, they must be a full ghost, not a starving ghost.

Rouran's general Morton touched his horse's mane while observing Zhao Junsheng's military formation, and the fierce light in his eyes flickered.

A handsome man next to him said: "Chief, the Xianbei people seem to be ready to fight us!" ”

Morton sneered: "Baolin Fengsui lit the beacon fire in time, and they found out at the first time, they have enough time to prepare, but so what?" They want to use these 3,000 foot soldiers to resist my 1,500 iron horsemen, but they are just doing a death throe! ”

The little marshal looked at Zhao Junsheng's military formation in front of him, and said suspiciously: "Why is their military formation so strange?" It looks like a carriage is in front of you, right? This is indeed an obstacle to our rush, which is not easy to do! ”

Morton laughed: "Hahaha······ Are some low, empty carriages trying to stop me from riding softly? They dream! Command all the ministries to get ready to attack! ”

"Yes, Chief!"

The Rouran cavalry quickly dispatched under the command of Morton, they formed a formation and began to move forward slowly, it takes a process for the war horse to accelerate, the acceleration of the Mobei horse is not fast, it takes time to accelerate, they have a strong ability to maintain speed, and the distance of more than two miles is just enough to make the war horse run at the highest speed.

"Sons, crush these stupid Southerners, kill—" Morton roared as he drew his scimitar.

The trumpeter next to him immediately sounded the horn of the charge attack, and under the leadership of the small marshals, a large number of Rouran cavalry rushed to the opposite side of the heavy battalion formation.

Morton has the talent of a general, he did not personally lead the team to charge, he sat on horseback at this time to observe the situation on the battlefield, and there were five hundred cavalry by his side as a reserve, and he could adjust his tactics at any time.

A large number of horses' hooves were transmitted in all directions, and the speed of the cavalry group as it charged reached a certain level, and the momentum caused was incomparably impressive, even though it was only a thousand horsemen, but it still caused a violent slight tremor on the ground.

In the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, Gao Xiu, Gao Xu and Xue An all saw that many of the soldiers in the formation were pale and frightened, after all, this was really facing life and death, not joking.

"Give me stability, steady, there is nothing to fear about Rouran people, they will die like a knife, as long as everyone obeys orders and cooperates closely, they will practice the same as on weekdays, and we will not be defeated! Whoever dares to run away will be slaughtered by Captain Pontus! ”
