Ranger: Warrior Vanguard Chapter 12: Bunny Girl
Cheng Biting Jin saw Mulan's crisis, turned around and jumped back, magnified the iron pot in his left hand several times, and stopped in front of Mulan. An Lushan's strafing shot swept straight on the iron pot this time, but it also gave the surprise attack troops time to retreat, and when An Lushan attacked, they all withdrew from the narrow pass in one breath.
The red light sweep and the powerful red reflection caused by the iron pot's defense illuminate the entire canyon crossing. Li Guangbi and the others had just withdrawn, and suddenly saw many long-eared demon seeds planning to enter through the road entrance, and at a glance they were An Lushan's subordinates. Those demon seeds screamed in fear when they saw so many humans who had never seen them appear inexplicably. Li Guangbi didn't want them to make too much noise, so he immediately sent his generals to rush up and capture them all alive.
Cheng Yanjin and Li Guangbi checked a little and found that "they" were not demon seeds in the simple sense, but human beings with mixed blood of demon seeds, which were very similar to An Lushan.
Seeing that almost all of them were women, Mulan felt pity for them and asked, "Why do you want to serve An Lushan? This is a great crime of treason." โ
A woman said pitifully: "How can there be any traitor who is not treasonous? In this northern land, An Lushan is the emperor, how dare we not listen to him? I heard that he seems to have recently been defeated, and we have not had time to rejoice, so he forced us to go out and look for military rations for them." Otherwise, all of our kind in the city will die. The demon hybrids said as they took out the baskets they were carrying and showed them to the generals.
"So, you're still innocent. Li Guangbi crossed his arms and looked inquiring and disbelieving, and said, "You want us to let you go, I'm afraid it's not so easy, right? If you tell An Lushan about our situation, then what should we do?" When those demon seed hybrids heard this, they all denied it, and they all scolded An Lushan, threatening to never help him.
"Actually, you have the ability to help us destroy An Lushan. Mulan suddenly said calmly.
"Really?" asked a group of half-breeds curiously and excitedly, "but we can't hurt our relatives in the city." โ
"It's not difficult. Hua Mulan leaned over and sat down, and said lightly: "Is there any way for you to let our people sneak into the city? As long as we enter the city, we will be able to defeat An Lushan and protect your integrity." โ
Some half-blood demon species said eagerly: "Of course there is a way, the current demon king can't see anything, and can only rely on hearing and smell to identify it." As long as any of you are half-bloods, he won't be able to find out about you. โ
"Half-blood demon species?" Cheng Yanjin, Li Guangbi and the others shook their heads in unison and said, "We are all human beings, and we can't fit in." โ
"There is another way, you can pretend to be us, and mix in with us, and he will not find out. A slender half-blood demon seed said, as he spoke, he struggled to tear off the fur clothes on his body and said, "The blood level of the demon seed in our bodies is different, and people like me look like humans. But this demon king has to dress us all up like the same, and now it's time for him to ask for his own suffering!"
"It's so funny! I love cross-dressing!" Cheng Yanjin looked at it, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over to try it on. Li Guangbi was startled, and hurriedly rushed over, and it took all his strength to hold him down, and said: "Are you crazy? With your figure, it's strange if you don't wear it out! You let me go!" Cheng Yanjin felt that there was some reason, so he reluctantly handed the dress to Hua Mulan and said, "Oh, you are still the most suitable." โ
Mulan nodded, and put on the outfit, which was considered a good fit. Hua Mulan looked at the eyes of everyone looking at her, and said with some doubts: "Is it like?"
"It fits so well. Cheng Yanjin praised: "What kind of costume is this? I'll go get a set to try it out." Li Guangbi covered his face and said, "That's it, it's best to destroy this costume in the future." The dignified Tang border guards will be dressed like this, what do they look like?"
"Our bloodline is rabbit, so the clothing is a rabbit suit, and the women's clothes are rabbit girl clothes. A rabbit demon half-breed explained.
"Bunny Girl. Mulan nodded, flipped through the bamboo basket she had prepared for herself, took out one large, two small and three carrots, and said with satisfaction: "It's just right." So saying, he split the three carrots in half and hollowed them out to leave an empty shell, and then hid all three of his swords in them, and put all the carrots together.
"I'm coming!" Cheng Yanjin took out his sticky chef's base to help re-glue the carrots back to their original shape, and said with satisfaction: "Go ahead! Even if this An Lushan is not blind, he will never recognize it." โ
So Mulan followed the people of the rabbit clan out of the narrow aisle again. One side of the iron pot that Cheng Biting Jin threw was completely scorched, and it fell to the ground softly. Cheng Yanjin hugged it in his arms and kissed it incessantly with a very distressed look. Li Guangbi felt that he had to take action, otherwise An Lushan would be suspicious.
Hua Mulan and the rabbit people went all the way unimpeded and walked to An Lushan's side. An Lushan sniffed hard, and seemed to smell a hint of something wrong and said, "Rabbit clan cubs, no outsiders have mixed in, right?"
One of the young men in the lead let out a "hmm" and said, "No." An Lushan was puzzled, and Li Guangbi, who was following the back of the team, suddenly rolled on the spot, grabbed a carrot and threw it towards An Lushan. An Lushan stretched out his hand to block it and scolded: "What person!" spewed light towards Li Guangbi.
Hua Mulan and the rest of the rabbit tribesmen took advantage of An Lushan's attack and fled forward in a puff of smoke. Although An Lushan felt that something was wrong and wanted to stop them by drinking, he felt that he didn't smell anything wrong. At this time, Cheng Yanjin jumped out again, shouting "hahahaha" to make An Lushan compensate for his shovel. An Lushan was furious, scolded them for never getting by, and used a laser to sweep the entire orchard into a barren wasteland. Cheng Yanjin and Li Guangbi scolded pretending to scold, and retreated with a secret smile.
When Mulan finally entered the city, she thanked the Rabbit people and promised to keep the rest of them safe, and after receiving their guidance, she went on her own to find the besieged recruits.
It turned out that a group of recruit soldiers took advantage of the situation to run into Fanyang City, and knowing that the situation was not good, they killed themselves in a village and town. The space there was relatively small, and before the rebels could organize a decent strangulation attack, the siege of the Tang army had come, and An Lushan knew that the passage in the western mountains was a fatal crossing, so he went to defend it alone, and ordered Shi Siming to lead the main force to defend the other city gates. As for the task of encircling and suppressing the recruits and soldiers in the city, it was left to An Qingxu.
In this regard, An Qingxu also had a headache, the rebels lost more than half of them in the previous battle at Tongguan, and there were only four or five hundred men and horses given to him at this moment, and there were no demon warriors. He knew that with this gap in numbers, in the face of the desperate Tang army, he could not win easily, and he could only rely on meager materials to consume each other with them.
"I don't believe it! What can there be to eat in this shabby village!" An Qingxu said, taking a big bite of the apple in his hand, and said, "Don't come out if you have the ability!" The rebels next to him set up bows and crossbows and shouted together: "Don't come out if you have the ability!"
An Qingxu's two henchmen Yan Zhuang discussed with Li Zhu'er that their own food was not enough, and they mainly had to rely on the tribesmen of the rabbit clan to venture outside the city to collect. The rabbit people had no choice, and as soon as they stopped, they were driven out again. Mulan looked at their sad figures, secretly clenched her fists, and vowed to seek justice for them. She looked at Yan Zhuang and Li Zhu'er as if they were secretly speaking ill of An Lushan, and thought about it for a while.
She eavesdropped carefully, and it turned out that An Lushan was constantly demonized, and his eyesight was gradually impaired until he was completely lost, so his temper became worse and worse, and his subordinates became more and more cruel. Yan Zhuang and Li Zhu'er were both beaten by him for no reason, so they were angry. Mulan thought about it and seemed to have a new plan.
Late that night, the rebels' defenses were much looser, and after carefully observing their defenses, Mulan jumped over the wall and into the village.
There were only a few thatched huts in the village, and Hua Mulan casually pushed open a room and saw Jiao Zhongqing, Liu Lanzhi and dozens of other recruit soldiers sitting together covered in blood to keep each other warm. She was very happy that most of the people were safe, but she didn't expect that as soon as everyone saw her, they scolded her together, scolding her for treachery and abandoning everyone for her own safety.
Hua Mulan didn't know why, and said, "I'ยทยทยทยทยทยท I didn't do anything? It took a lot of effort for me to get in and contact you. As he spoke, he wanted to explain the origin of the costume on his body.
But the people did not listen to her explanation, and more than 200 surviving soldiers surrounded her, accusing her of deceiving everyone into battle, but leaving them to flee alone. Hua Mulan couldn't argue with this, she couldn't tell the situation at that time. Even Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi no longer believed her, and some even had weapons to kill her to avenge the dead recruits.
"Please trust me for once. Hua Mulan didn't have any choice, knelt on the ground pleadingly and said: "There are not many defenders outside, why don't we rush out now while they are unprepared, and then cooperate with the army outside, we will soon be able to break through Fan Yang." As soon as Fan Yang is broken, the war is over, and we can all go home. โ
"Don't lie to people!" A rich genius said: "What you said last time is even more high-sounding than now! Aren't you just sneaking away by yourself and letting us fight the battlefield? Tell you, this time I will starve to death here, and I will not sell my life indiscriminately! The Tang army will definitely attack and save us." โ
"Even if the Tang army attacked, it was the rebels who arrived first. Mulan burst into tears of pain, she really didn't want to watch a group of brothers who were born and died together sit here and wait to die. She looked at Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi in despair, and said, "Is there anyone who is willing to fight for themselves one last time?"
Jiao Zhongqing closed his eyes and shook his head, and Liu Lanzhi also glanced at her coldly, and then stopped looking at her. Hua Mulan looked at the two of them curled up in a corner alone, their faces were full of scars, their hair was scattered over their shoulders, they looked very embarrassed, their armor and clothes had been shredded, and they were leaning together without covering their bodies. This scene finally shattered her psychological defenses, and she lifted her heavy sword and walked out alone.
"Since you do not believe me, I will make a way for you myself. โ
"Never give up!"
