Chapter 143: The Battle of Life and Death

The difference in strength between the Northern Wei and Rouran countries is really a bit big, 80,000 versus 200,000? How weak is this? Don't forget, the Northern Wei Kingdom recruited all the surrounding areas that could be used into the army. In this way, the national strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty was too weak. Could it be that the entire Northern Wei Empire is so weak that it can't even recruit the most basic army, this is a fart. But in any case, the Northern Wei Kingdom belonged to the cultivated empire, while the Rouran Kingdom belonged to the nomadic people. Even if the attack power of a single soldier is not good, the number is still much stronger than the opposite side.

But that's the case, why can't even the number be compared now, and it's still so beaten? With such strength, it is not an exaggeration to be said to be a sheep by Rouran Guoxin Shan Yu. Counting the emergence of a female god of war in the Northern Wei Dynasty, if she hadn't been born out of nowhere, maybe the land of China would have fallen into the world of these nomads again, and burning, killing, and plundering would definitely not be a problem. In fact, this is the case for the entire Chinese civilization, and every once in a while, the current situation will appear.

For the 200,000 troops owned by the Rouran Kingdom, some generals thought that they should avoid its edge and retreat to the pass, so as to wait for work. But Mulan doesn't think so, she thinks that it is a very irrational behavior to retreat now, after all, now that the two armies are fighting, they will start to withdraw before the war starts, which will cause morale to be low. If the whole army pursued by Menduku at this time, the Northern Wei army that was preparing to retreat was likely to suffer a devastating blow from the Rouran army.

In this way, it is certain that there will be no retreat in this situation. Since it can't be returned, another way is needed to make up for it, and that's when Mulan needs to come forward. So she replied to the general: "General, I would like to ask for my life and be the vanguard of the general." Then she began to explain how to lay out the direction of future wars. Those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory. In general, the army is used for head-to-head battles. The second army is a secret surprise attack. ”

But in the current situation, I'm going to do the opposite. Mulan's team is the main army, and the general's main force is the odd army. As long as Mulan wins the first battle, it will anger Menduku and let Menduku chase after Mulan. In this way, Mulan acted according to the plan, pretending to be trapped in the canyon. At this time, Mendu must have thought that Mulan had become his meal. At this time, the Rouran army must be slack, and at this time, the general suddenly ambushed the rear of the Rouran army from the rear, and when the Rouran army will definitely be in chaos, Hua Mulan will turn around and fight again, and it will win.

At this time, the general who has been forbearant finally saw the dawn of victory, since you yourself came up with such a brilliant plan, then don't blame me. However, he knows how to forbear, although he is very excited in his heart, but on the surface, he must pretend to be very reluctant, but for such a clever plan, he also has to express it, for which he specially approved Mulan to lead 20,000 troops. At this time, a big conspiracy of Mulan has surrounded her, will such a loyal celebrity be sacrificed in this conspiracy? Therefore, the main god issued another mission: "Protect Mulan's safety and achieve the final victory." ”

The final battle is about to begin, although Liang Xuchao, who has been promoted to the rank of general, leads his troops to follow Mulan as a vanguard to resist the attack of Rouran's army. Although his promotion speed is not as strong as Mulan's, he is already relatively good in the army. But in Mulan's army, he can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person. Considering these situations, Liang Xuchao doesn't care very much, he is now protecting Mulan wholeheartedly, especially the case of pretending to retreat, this is the most critical situation, you must be careful.

looked at the vast and boundless Rouran army, and it was still a neat army. Although I have seen a large number of them before, well, although they are just some zombie groups that are not in the climate, but in the face of this group of slaughtering soldiers, this is not comparable to those zombies. 200,000, even if it is 200,000 pigs, Liang Xuchao will kill them with cramps. 20,000 against 200,000, ten times the number, this is simply not something that people can do.

The two armies are fighting, and it seems that they need to negotiate, and Mulan rode alone to face Rouran Guodan Yu Mendu. After all, no matter what kind of war, people will die. It is better not to fight or not to fight. Although she knew that this war would inevitably break out, Mulan still did enough work, and the activity of negotiation must still be done enough. Since negotiations cannot be negotiated, there is only war. It is not clear who killed the deer? It's a pity that no matter what Mulan's plan was before, he met a general who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and was already jealous of her.

In any case, the combat effectiveness of this small team in the Northern Wei Dynasty is really strong. Well, yes, they who fight with Mulan, especially when they often defeat the strong with the weak, this is only an army of 20,000, even if they face an enemy ten times more than them, there is no fear. This is an elite army, and with such a strong team, it is the hope of any general. With them, they are really invincible.

Looking at this Hua Mulan who was already far away, Men Du didn't dare to take it lightly, after all, the distant Hua Mulan was already a big problem for the Rouran Country, if it weren't for the strong combat power, maybe he wouldn't dare to lead the troops here so strongly. In the face of Mulan's 20,000, Men Du sent 40,000 at once. However, even if it was an army of 40,000, he did not dare to say that he would definitely be able to defeat the other party. But now the morale can't be lowered, and Mendu must pretend not to care about his general.

The battle between the two armies is about to begin, and this time it is either you die or I die, and there is no way to stop. In the face of the cavalry of Rouran, the nomads are almost all cavalry. It's really red-eyed, this is what any farming empire is very desirable for, after all, only these nomads can afford to be cavalry. In the face of cavalry, especially archers, the infantry wanted to fight and could only rely on the defensive power of the shield.

Although the Northern Wei army did not have archers, it was not without archers. In the face of cavalry, the impact power of these cavalry is first consumed, and the archers are the first means of attack against the Rouran cavalry. But how much damage can this bow and arrow do to this cavalry? At most, it's just a little harassment. The best means of attack for cavalry are sword and shield soldiers and spearmen, and with guns protected by shields in rows, even the most fierce cavalry has only one way to die.

Although the spearmen restrained the cavalry, it also depended on the quantity. In the same number, the spearmen can be said to be completely cavalry. However, the spearmen were restrained by the sword and shield soldiers, so in the face of different troops, different classes needed to complement each other in order to achieve the final victory. The Northern Wei State lacked cavalry, so it could only defend passively. After all, the infantry's ability to march is simply too weak. The current situation can only be pitifully passive defense, so as to consume the opponent's strength as much as possible.

In the face of such a close cavalry charge, Liang Xuchao really encountered it for the first time, well, it should be said that it was really the first time for so many cavalry to charge. Hua Mulan led the cavalry, while Liang Xuchao led the infantry phalanx. In order to better protect Mulan, Liang Xuchao asked Han Xue and the three daughters to stay by Mulan's side as much as possible. After all, Mulan's life and death are related to their life and death, and Liang Xuchao feels very unhappy about such an ungraspable thing. After all, pinning one's life and death in the hands of others always makes people feel very uncomfortable.

For Rou Ran, Liang Xuchao is even more unhappy. Aren't you going to annihilate us all? Then come on. Is forty thousand a lot? Since you like to die, then kill all the 40,000, I see how many 40,000 you have. Liang Xu took the lead and rushed directly to the front with Captain Miller. Killing these soldiers will also give you a good number of bonus points, although the number of units is less, but the number is large. It's really not to kill for nothing.

But on the battlefield, no matter how strong you are, in front of the army, you are just a stronger soldier, and there is almost no advantage at all. After all, in front of the military formation, no matter how advanced your kung fu is, the side of death will definitely be you. You can't play like a game on the battlefield, because it's deadly. If you feel strong and take it lightly, the only way to wait is death.

If you want to survive on the battlefield, you can only rely on the protection of the military formation, and it is not suitable to go head-to-head here. On the battlefield, how many can you kill? Only by forming a battle formation with your teammates can you not only protect yourself, but also kill the enemy with the most powerful combat power. On the battlefield, human life is not valuable, whether you are a soldier or a general, as long as you go to the battlefield, all that awaits you is death. It's just that generals have a very low mortality rate on the battlefield, after all, they have power.

In the history of China, there are really not many generals who charge into battle, especially those whose official positions are getting higher and higher. After all, these generals don't need to charge all on the battlefield, after all, every decision he makes is related to the lives of all the soldiers in the entire army. If he still charges forward like before, then he is only a fierce general, not a qualified commander. Therefore, the sacrifice of these generals or commanders is very low.

As for why Hua Mulan is working so hard, not only does it drive the morale of the entire army, but her current official position is only General Pingbei. Speaking of which, he is just a low-level general, and it is natural to be a pioneer, so it is not strange for Mulan to charge on the battlefield. It's also good that Hua Mulan led the troops to charge in front, otherwise with such a weak national strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty, she wouldn't have fought with the Rouran Kingdom at all, and surrendered directly. Therefore, Mulan is also known as the heroine of women, the heroine of ancient China, and the goddess of war of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Chapter 144: A Strange Sandstorm

The two countries are mortal enemies, one is bent on annexing the other, and the other is weak, but does not want to be a slave. Besides, the death of both sides at the hands of the opposite side has reached a terrifying number, so it is difficult not to become mortal enemies. It can be said that the two sides belong to the enemy, and it is very red to see each other. It's reached the point where it's either you or I'm dead. In this small area, 60,000 people are huddled together like sardines and fighting fiercely.

It was really tragic, the residual value of the broken arm flew all over the sky, and the crimson blood had slowly converged into a pool of blood, and it felt extremely uncomfortable to step on it, and the heavy smell of blood made the eyes of all the soldiers red. As long as it was an enemy, they all rushed up like crazy. Up to now, there is no mercy to talk about, only to keep greeting each other with all your strength. The two sides have been completely killed.

That's 60,000 lives, all of which were made by the monarchs of both sides for their personal gain, letting his people put on military uniforms and keep fighting and looting. These 60,000 people are not the beginning, let alone the end. In particular, the two sides are already killing their fathers and brothers, and the plundering of their wives and children and sisters has put both sides in a complete mortal enmity. This has also led to the two countries being at war for generations, all of which have been caused by the monarchs of both countries for their own selfish interests.

really answered that sentence. Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer. All the bitter fruits of suffering were thoroughly borne by the simplest of people, regardless of the people of that country. They are the most painful people in this world, and they are the real vulnerable. The battle was fought in the dark, and neither side felt the passage of time, because they only knew that if they wanted to survive, they had to kill all the enemies they could see.

The Northern Wei Army, under the leadership of Hua Mulan, was a little overwhelmed by the combat effectiveness of the Rouran Army. In particular, there are fewer and fewer comrades-in-arms around them, which makes them have no intention of fighting again. When the first deserter appeared, the entire Rouran army was like dominoes, slowly appearing in part, and then the entire remaining army all fled. Even the commander-in-chief could not prevent the troops from fleeing now, and could only follow the troops to evacuate urgently.

It was really defeated, and the full 40,000 Rouran army finally collapsed in front of the 20,000 Northern Wei army led by Hua Mulan. No matter how powerful your personal ability is, in front of the military formation, your so-called personal ability is simply a scum. Although Hua Mulan was heroic, she didn't dare to guarantee 100% that she would not be injured when she broke into the military formation, and if it wasn't for Han Xue and her protection several times, there might be casualties. For this reason, Han Xue and others around Mulan are more or less hanging colors.

When the Rouran Army was finally repulsed, the soldiers of the entire battlefield gasped and looked at the Rouran Army that had run away. Hua Mulan knew that her first task had been achieved, and now she only had to wait for Mendu to lead the Rouran army to press all of them, so that her second task could be implemented. Sure enough, when these remnant forwards returned to the main force, Mendu couldn't sit still anymore, and decisively led the entire army to rush directly to the troops under Mulan's jurisdiction.

The enemy has been fooled and implements the second step of the battle plan. But just as Mulan and the others were about to evacuate to the canyon, for some reason, a large number of Rouran archers suddenly appeared on both sides of the valley. Just as the Northern Wei army was preparing to evacuate, this sudden attack of archers caused the Northern Wei army to suffer heavy casualties. It's really weird, why didn't you use these hidden archers before? Rather, it was at the moment when Mulan was preparing to evacuate. This is really a very strange situation, how did they know that Mulan was going to retreat? Well, the Rouran army strikes.

What's even weirder is why a rare sandstorm suddenly blew on the grassland, huh? I guess so. But I heard the soldiers shouting that the poisonous dragon was coming. Could this poisonous dragon be a sandstorm? This sudden sandstorm is really even weirder, could it be that the Rouran Army has a mage who can summon a sandstorm? This is really weird, no matter how great the power of man is, he cannot beat the power of nature. This strange sandstorm caused the Mulan army to suffer heavy losses and demoralize the whole army.

There is also why this sandstorm only has an impact on the Northern Wei army, but it does not seem to have any effect on the Rouran army. Such a strange and unnatural event really made Liang Xuchao unable to figure out what was going on? It's really weird, and it can only be said that this weird sandstorm was cast by a wizard in the Rouran Kingdom. But if the country of Rouran has such a powerful wizard, then why didn't it be used earlier? It's too fake.

In any case, this strange sandstorm caused heavy losses to the Northern Wei army, and what made the morale of the Northern Wei army even worse was that the grain and grass originally hidden in the canyon were also blown away by this sandstorm. As for the grain and grass in the canyon, was there before? I don't know. Why didn't Mulan check it at that time? In fact, this is also to blame Liang Xuchao himself, he knew that there was such a plot, but why didn't he take the extra heart to check it.

Forget it, it's too late to say anything now. Since the plot still goes as before, let's go with the flow. After all, this plot must lead Wentai, the seventh prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty, out, otherwise the later plot will not be able to continue. Bear with it, it's just a few days of suffering. However, before this, Liang Xuchao needed to rescue some wounded, and the deaths and injuries of these wounded really did not have any decisive situation for the whole plot, and there should be no modification of the plot to save them, after all, their deaths would at most turn the trapped Northern Wei army into mourning soldiers.

What about the mourners? It's not the same, and Wentai, the seventh prince, needs to go out to resolve it. After all, what combat effectiveness can an army with no food, no drink, and no medical treatment have. Therefore, these wounded are at most only a small advantage for Mulan's main force to retreat to the canyon, and there are no other advantages. Liang Xuchao now hopes to save these people, if it really can't work, it is also a very good situation to save Xiaohu, a general.

Although Liang Xuchao is not short of reward points now, uh, well, also lacking. For yourself, bonus points are of little use. But for Captain Miller, they were very practical. After all, Captain Miller, they can also use bonus points to improve their physical fitness. I just don't know if they can also break through the limitations of their bodies like Liang Xuchao? If it can break through, it will be really great. After all, as long as Miller and the others can break through the shackles of their bodies, the increase in combat power will be unimaginable. There is no precedent, so Liang Xuchao didn't dare to think about it.

Xiaohu is no match for Mulan, but since Liang Xuchao can enter a horror drama like Legion Wars, will there be such a situation in the future? Xiaohu is not only a sword and shield soldier, but also very good at kung fu. That's right, in that battle where Wentai was injured, didn't Xiaohu serve in the army in the form of cavalry. Since he can ride a horse and slash and kill, Xiaohu is still a good general, and it is worth cultivating.

I don't know how long it took, but the sandstorm finally stopped. However, the scorching sun in the sky was shrouded in a layer of sand mist, which looked very strange. Liang Xuchao knew that there was such a sandstorm, so he had already found a col to avoid this strange sandstorm. In any case, if you want to complete the task, you must first ensure your own small life, only the small life is still there, and everything else can be solved. Hua Mulan and Wentai, these two Liang Xuchao can't hide them in the col even if they want to, because these two are heroes and heroines, don't dare.

However, Xiaohu was secretly reminded by Liang Xuchao, as for whether there will be punishment in the future, it will be another story. After all, no matter what, since you want to rescue this general, it is necessary to be tested, and now I just hope that the test is not too severe. If, well, if the Lord God hadn't found out, then the test wouldn't even have been necessary. Hehe, fluke psychology, what's the matter? It is still necessary to be able to build a good relationship, and it is better to recruit this warrior into the account.

"Mulan..., Mulan, Mulan." A sentence is better than a tragic shout, Wentai's painful cry without tears, that kind of heart-rending cry, even a person with a heart like a rock will be moved. For some reason, he suddenly felt something, because not far behind him, Mulan, who was hit by several arrows, also looked at him stupidly. When the two looked at each other, the two looked at each other silently with tears in their eyes.

"I knew you weren't dead." Hua Mulan held her weak body and swayed, looking at Wentai with a faint wry smile, and Wentai hurriedly stepped forward to hug her. At this time, the surrounding soldiers also woke up one after another. And they all slowly gathered towards them. "Quick, find a military doctor." Wen Tai saw that his soldiers rushed over, and ordered directly. By the way, cut off the feather arrow inserted in Mulan's body, after all, such a long feather arrow inserted in the body is very affecting the action.

I don't know who shouted: "The Rouran soldiers are here." "Everyone looked into the distance, I'll take a look, these Rouran soldiers are really strong, and under the baptism of such a fierce sandstorm, they can still have such a fierce combat effectiveness. This is really weird, after all, this is a sandstorm, in front of nature, no one can withstand it. But the weak army in front of him doesn't seem to have been hurt in any way, which is really incomprehensible.

Does God also bully people? But even if you bully, you have to make those intruders suffer disasters, but in fact, there is no punishment at all. On the contrary, the oppressed have suffered unimaginable damage. This is really unfair, could it be that Mulan did something wrong before? Provoked God's punishment? It shouldn't be, it's not God, it's a wizard with boundless mana in the Rouran Kingdom, and he can only think like this.
