Under the scorching sun, the trees and weeds on the mountains drooped their heads weakly, and the cries of the birds kept spreading in the mountains and forests.

At the end of the mountain road, there was the sound of horses' hooves and bells, and Mulan and a group of soldiers were sitting on horseback and walking down the mountain, they set out in the morning, and they did not pass through the Flying Fox until noon, and did not stop when they passed the Flying Fox Fort.

"It's too hot!" Mulan was dripping with sweat on her forehead, and she had to raise her arm to wipe the sweat beads with her sleeve.

In such a hot weather, the war horses couldn't stand it, and they were panting for a heavy breath when they walked on this mountain road, and there were beads of sweat under their hair.

"Miss, now that you're not in the army, you can take off your armor and scarf and wear regular clothes, how can you stand the heat?" The maidservant said quietly.

"Well, my brethren are all armoured and helmeted, and how can I wear regular clothes for the sake of comfort? Besides, in this wilderness, if you encounter a mountain bandit, you will have a protection from armor and helmet! Mulan waved her hand, stuck out her tongue and licked her chapped lips, picked up a water bag from the side of the horse's belly and took a sip.

Jingxin couldn't help but smile and said: "Miss is really good at laughing, look at the dozens of murderous big brothers behind you are all in armor, which mountain bandit dares to rob without opening his eyes?" Isn't this looking for death? ”

At this time, Mulan said: "That's not necessarily! ”

After saying that, Hua Mulan reined in her horse and raised her palm to signal the soldiers behind her to stop advancing.

"General, what's wrong?" Hua Haida immediately came to ask, he looked up at the mountains and forests on the left and above, "The general doesn't think that there are really mountain bandits in this mountain forest, right?" ”

Hua Mulan observed it for a moment and said, "I don't know if it's a mountain bandit or not, but there must be someone hiding in this mountain forest!" You see, there are birds chirping everywhere else, but not here! There are no birds above the mountains and forests anywhere else, but when there are flocks of birds circling above this mountain forest, what does this mean? It shows that someone is hiding in this mountain forest, they occupy the territory that originally belonged to the birds, and the birds are frightened and fly away but are reluctant to give up their home, so they can only hover and fly above the mountain forest! ”

At this moment, there were forty or fifty black-clothed people hiding among the bushes and barren grass in the mountains and forests, and their numbers were not much different from the personal soldiers under the command of Mulan.

"Boss Zhu, why didn't they leave, were they discovered?" A man in black asked the leader beside him.

The leader of the man in black said in a low voice: "I don't know, it stands to reason that we hid it so well and didn't make a sound, they couldn't have found out that we were!" ”

"Do you want to do it?"

The leader of the men in black thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, it's already past noon now, even if they turn around and go back, they won't be able to find a place to live before dark, the Flying Fox Fortress won't allow them to enter the fort for the night, they can only sleep in the wilderness, and it will be more convenient for us to sneak attack when the time comes!" ”

"If they don't turn around, they'll have to pass through here, and the stones and timber we've prepared will be handy!"

At this time, in the team on the mountain road, Hua Hai listened to Hua Mulan's analysis for him, and couldn't help but admire: "The general is really very human, and he can judge whether there is an ambush through this method."

Hua Mulan was a little embarrassed and said: "I always listen to him with your uncle, he always tells me some knowledge of marching and fighting, and I will remember it after listening to it a lot, and I will gain a lot if I think about it again!" ”

Hua Hai couldn't help nodding and said, "Uncle is a person with great ability!" By the way, General, what are we going to do now? If we turn around and go back, the Flying Fox Fort will definitely not let us stay, and we can't find a place to stay before dark, so we have to sleep in the wilderness! ”

Hua Mulan put her hand on the pergola and observed the mountains and forests in front of her left, she pondered for a moment and said: "There must not be many of them, otherwise there is no need to ambush at all, just drive the horse and start fighting." You take a few steps forward and shout, probing their reality and reality! ”

"Understood!"

Hua Hai agreed, took a few steps forward, let go of his throat and shouted: "My general is the Marquis of Wuchuan and the general of Huwei, Hua Mulan, who is the rat in ambush in the mountains and forests ahead?" ”

The men in black in the mountains and forests were a little commotion when they heard this, they were ambushed here, but they were discovered by the object of the ambush, what could be more embarrassing than this?

The deputy beside the leader of the man in black said in a low voice: "Boss Zhu, we have been discovered, the ambush no longer works, there is no advantage, I heard that although this Mulan is a woman, she is full of martial arts and is extremely brave, if you attack it, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses, not only will you not be able to kill Mulan, but you may also lose all our lives here!" Let's retreat, let's find a way, how about it? ”

The leader of the men in black shook his head: "No, if you go one hundred and ten miles, you will enter the territory of Fanyang County in Youzhou, and when the time comes, they can ask for help from the power of the government, and we have no chance." Don't forget, the Lord has given a strict order, and if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent! ”

The deputy was quite worried and hesitant, "We don't have much chance of winning by storming!" ”

The leader of the men in black thought about it, and soon had an idea, muttering a few words in the deputy's ear, and the deputy nodded in agreement.

The leader of the men in black turned around and made a few gestures to his subordinates who were squatting in the grass behind him, and half of them followed him out of the mountain forest and jumped down from a high place, and landed on the mountain road with a few ups and downs.

Hua Mulan watched more than twenty black-clothed people jump from a height, her athleticism was breathtaking, her eyes were fixed, she knew that these black-clothed people were by no means ordinary people, they must be dead soldiers or assassin killers who had undergone strict training, and the identity of the people behind this scene must be extraordinary.

"Sea of Flowers!"

"In!"

"You take the back half of the people to secretly climb up the mountain forest from the side to support us remotely, if they still have manpower in the mountain forest, kill them!" Mulan commanded.

"Obey!" Hua Hai agreed, jumped off the horse and made a few gestures to the soldiers behind, and half of the soldiers jumped off the horse with bows and arrows on their backs and followed Hua Hai to climb up the mountain from the side.

"Female soldiers, hide, don't be injured by your own arrows!" Mulan waved her hand at the female soldiers.

Jingxin and a few female soldiers also knew that the current situation was very dangerous, and they would only cause chaos for Mulan if they stayed where they were, so they turned around and ran away.

Hua Mulan didn't plan to do it immediately, she looked at the more than twenty black-clothed people blocking the mountain road in front of her, and asked loudly, "Who sent you?" ”

The leader of the men in black replied loudly: "General Hua asked a little redundant, do you think I will say it?" I heard that General Hua is a female streamer, but he is brave, but this road is now controlled by my brothers, if General Hua and his entourage want to go over, even if they let the horses come, they can let the general under the command make a high move! ”

Hua Mulan was a little puzzled, although this road is a mountain road, the right side is a cliff, but the two sides are dozens of feet apart, her side is cavalry, if you rush to kill the past, it must be an advantage, the other party should try to avoid this situation, choose to take the initiative to attack, shorten the distance of the cavalry to kill is the right way, but the other party does not move, want to provoke her to lead people to rush to kill, this is a problem!

"Did they prepare bows and arrows and a large number of stones on the mountain, and they would lead us through and shoot them with their bows and crossbows, and throw them at stones?"

Thinking of this, Mulan couldn't help but be a little afraid, this mountain road is less than two zhang wide, if you shoot arrows from the mountain and fall rocks, there is no place to hide!

She slowly drew her riding bow from her bow bag, pulled an arrow from the quiver, put it on the bowstring, and aimed it at the leader of the men in black.

"Boss Zhu be careful!" A man in black next to him reminded loudly.

The leader of the men in black quickly drew his knife and slashed, narrowly splitting the arrow, but the arrow deviated from the original path and hit a man in black behind the leader, and the arrow passed through his chest and came out from behind.

With a "poof", the man in black who was hit by the arrow slowly fell to the ground and kept twitching.

The leader of the men in black and the other men in black were shocked when they saw this, and they all held their knives on guard, and looked at Mulan's side with all their bodies.

At this moment, there was a shout of killing in the mountains and forests, and the birds hovering over the mountains and forests fled one after another, and the screams kept coming.

The leader of the men in black changed his face when he heard this, and his heart became flustered, he immediately realized that his arrangement could not play a role, once Hua Mulan led people to rush over on horseback, more than 20 of them would definitely not be able to stop him.

"Kill with me—" The leader of the men in black immediately rushed towards Mulan and her soldiers with a knife, and the other two dozen or so men in black also ran behind the leader with knives and rushed to the opposite side.

"The leader of the men in black reacted fast enough!" Mulan muttered in her heart, inserted the longbow back into the bow bag, took off the big knife from the victory hook and shouted: "Rush with me!" ”

After shouting, she slapped her horse and rushed towards the oncoming large group of black-clothed people, and more than two dozen personal guard cavalrymen followed closely behind Mulan in a row of three.

"Kill—"

Just as the black-clothed people were about to be bumped into by Mulan and her personal guard cavalry, they suddenly rose from the ground and swung their knives towards Mulan and the personal guard cavalry below.

"What's the use of bells and whistles? Give me death! Hua Mulan shouted, and the big knife in her hand slashed through the air, and the three black-clothed people were cut off by the waist.

A man in black used his athletic skills to run quickly on the hillside, trying to rush down from the side and slash and slash, but was stabbed to death with a spear by the cavalry on horseback.

Some of the men in black did not soar into the air like the men in front of them, but quickly shortened and swept with their knives.

Hua Mulan's eyes froze, and she quickly lifted the reins, and the war horse soared into the air and passed over the black-clothed man squatting on the ground, but the other guards cavalry was too late, and the horse was cut off by the horse's legs, and the war horse fell headlong on it, and the personal guard cavalry on the horse fell to the ground and did not know whether he was alive or dead.

When Hua Mulan stopped and turned around, she saw that only fifteen of the more than twenty guards under her command were still on horseback, and the man in black had also lost more than half of them in the process of charging and killing just now, and there were only twelve left with the leader.

Several guards quickly turned around and took out their bows and arrows and shot arrows at the men in black, three men in black were killed, and the others quickly dodged left and right, and the arrows quickly rushed towards this side.

Mulan shouted: "Dismount and form a formation!" After saying that, he beat his horse and rushed towards the black-clothed people who were rushing towards him.

"Give me death!" She shouted, and the big knife slashed through the air, and the leader of the man in black raised his knife to block with wide eyes, but the person with the knife was cut in two.
