Hua Mulan took the drawings of the Tongguan area and looked at it again and again, and finally found that she could bypass Tongguan and lead some people to the back of Tongguan. She didn't think much about it, and immediately jumped to Wu Zetian's side with the drawings, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have found a way to quickly defeat the rebels and further reduce losses." ”

Wu Zetian's other guards saw her rushing towards Wu Zetian so frantically, and thought that she was going to assassinate, so they had already stopped her with knives, guns and shields.

Wu Zetian listened to her words, and quickly stopped the guards, she looked at Mulan, nodded and said, "I see that you are a little familiar, you are ······" Hua Mulan didn't dare to hide it, and quickly told her origin.

Wu Zetian said "um" and said, "Since you are the daughter of General Hua and recommended by Di Renjie, then I believe you." Say, what countermeasures do you have. Mulan immediately handed over the map and explained her thoughts.

"It's not impossible to get around. Wu Zetian frowned and hesitated: "But the area of Tongguan is very large, and if you want to go around, the distance is very far." Our main forces have already rushed to the front line of Tongguan to fight the enemy, and if we forcibly transfer some troops to the rear, the frontal battlefield may be a little unbearable. ”

Hua Mulan was puzzled: "Your Majesty, our military strength is far greater than that of the enemy soldiers, are you still afraid that we will not be able to hold on? ”

"You underestimate An Lushan's demon seed troops too much. Wu Zetian touched Mulan's head and said with a smile: "An Lushan has the bloodline of the demon seed, and his subordinates are mainly based on the demon seed army, if the nature of the demon seed is stimulated, the combat effectiveness is quite strong." More of the most powerful military strength of my Datang is placed on the Great Wall of the Western Regions, and the remaining main forces, facing An Lushan's demon army, are not so easy to get. ”

"I'm willing to lead our new army around the back of the place. Hua Mulan arched her hand at Wu Zetian and said, "Your Majesty, please believe us." ”

"New Army?" Wu Zetian was very surprised, and said: "Your new army is coming to the battlefield for the first time, I'm afraid you won't be able to play it." Don't say that I don't dare to promise you, even if it is your new army itself, you don't dare to carry out such an important and dangerous mission, right?"

"I ······ We ······" Hua Mulan swept the remaining soldiers around, and almost all of the more than 300 recruits remained, and only a few people such as Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi participated in the assault mission. She couldn't replace everyone, and she felt that she couldn't replace Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi, so she had to say, "Okay······ That······ If there are those soldiers involved in the post-circling mission, please bring me with you. ”

"You must not take yourself too lightly. Wu Zetian shook his head slightly and said: "Your new army is an important spark in the future of the Tang Dynasty, how can you be injured in this battle so easily? Mulan let out a "hmm" and shrank back, quietly thinking about her countermeasures.

Cheng Yanjin, Li Guangbi and others fought with Shi Siming, An Qingxu and others at the head of the city for a whole night, and the Tang army finally broke through the city tower behind Tongguan and rushed into the city tower in one go. At that time, the rebels also sent a large group of demon seeds, and the two sides engaged in fierce street battles in the narrow towers.

Qin Qiong and Li Jing's main army was delayed for a while by the rebel Dazhai outside, and they also quickly followed. The assault troops of Cheng Yanjin, Li Guangbi and others had already lost a lot, and when Qin Qiong and Li Jing's reinforcements arrived, they led their men to withdraw.

Wu Zetian looked at them covered in blood, all of them looked tired, knowing that the battle situation must be very difficult, and sighed: "Everyone has worked hard, let's go and rest first······

"Your Majesty. Cheng Yanjin washed off all the blood on his double axe, and said, "I'm not tired!

"You're tired like this, why are you still strong? Wu Zetian thought about the panting appearance when he just came back, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Everyone is human, and it is understandable that we are tired." ”

"No!" Cheng Yanjin insisted: "They killed Gao Xianzhi, I won't let them go if I say anything! Your Majesty, let me lead the support troops, and then go." ”

Wu Zetian looked at the battle report, frowned, and said in his heart: "An Lushan's preparation this time is really sufficient, and it will be very difficult to deal with those demon seed troops alone. Even if we can win this street battle, I am afraid that our losses will be very great. I couldn't help but hesitate.

Seeing that Wu Zetian didn't speak, Cheng Yanjin pulled Li Guangbi and said, "Are you going?" Li Guangbi ignored him, just looked at Wu Zetian, and wondered: "Your Majesty, do you have any ideas?"

Wu Zetian thought about it for a long time, and finally got up with determination, beckoned in one direction and said, "Mulan, come here." ”

Hua Mulan was thinking about whether the tactics were feasible, and she didn't even notice the return of Cheng Biting Jin, Li Guangbi and others. She suddenly heard Wu Zetian's greeting, was stunned, looked back, and ran over with an "ah".

Wu Zetian took the map from her hand and said, "This girl from the Hua family······ The female general had a point, and she suggested that they send an assault force around the back of the rebels, and attack the rebels with the troops on the front line, and they would win a complete victory. What do you think?"

Cheng Yanjin was a little surprised when he looked at Mulan, but when he heard this, he didn't think about it, and said directly: "Very good, let's go immediately." Li Guangbi grabbed him and said: "This plan is available, but most of the people have been fighting all day, and they want to bypass Tongguan at full speed non-stop, even if they can arrive tomorrow, they don't have the strength to fight again, right?"

"We can!" Seeing that Wu Zetian, Cheng Yanjin and Li Guangbi all agreed with her opinion, Hua Mulan was very excited, and raised her hand and said, "We didn't participate in the previous battle, and there is no problem with our physical strength." "Originally, Wu Zetian's 1,000 guards here didn't seem to be fighting around the back, but looking at Cheng Yanjin, most of the people behind them had already lost most of them, and the rest were all injured, and they couldn't bear it, and finally someone also waved their weapons and shouted: "I'm willing to go!" The other guards who stayed behind listened and all responded.

Most of those recruit soldiers did not participate in the front-line battles, and they were all squirming and reluctant to speak at the moment. Hua Mulan looked at it, walked quickly to the group of recruits and soldiers sitting together, drew her sword and said: "Brothers, why are you here for what is the purpose? It is to defend the family and the country, to repel the rebels, and to enable the people of the Tang Dynasty and our relatives to live a safer and better life." Why are we guarding here, not for ourselves, but more for our hometown. ”

She paused, then continued: "We are not fighting for the sake of killing, we want to keep more people away from war and killing." ”

Immediately, she remembered what her father often said, and blurted out: "Running away will not solve the war, it will only solve yourself." ”

"We won't run away!" Jiao Zhongqing listened to her passionate words, and also felt his blood boiling, and took the lead in drawing his sword and rushing out from the soldiers who had fought before, shouting: "I'll go!" Liu Lanzhi also followed closely, and many soldiers who had fought before also walked out.

The recruits and soldiers looked left and right, and many of them did not show fear and doubt in their eyes, they slowly got up, shouted and drew their weapons and roared under the gaze of more soldiers.

"Now I can be sure that she must be a child of the old flower family. Wu Zetian smiled and said to Cheng Yanjin and Li Guangbi: "I have to work hard for you again this time, they are all young people, and their physical strength is fine." But you two ······."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The two said in unison: "For the country and the people, never give up!"

At this point, the new battalion and Wu Zetian's escort battalion formed an assault force and began to bypass the Great Wall in order to attack the rear of the rebels. In order to commemorate the hometown they guarded, Mulan named this assault force: "Chang'an Commando." ”

The Chang'an commandos did not have any time to repair, so they quickly rushed to the west of Tongguan, and they had to rush to the rear of the rebels as quickly as possible, and flank the rebels with the troops of Qin Qiong and Li Jing. At the same time, after the counteroffensive against Tongguan, they would quickly evacuate Tongguan and go straight to Fanyang, the rebel's lair, which was the last stronghold of An Lushan. As soon as Fan Yang is broken, An Lushan and the rebels will have no way out, and there will be no way back except to continue to flee north and die in the polar regions of the ice field.

Cheng Yanjin didn't expect that the task assigned by Wu Zetian this time would be so difficult, in addition to fighting around the rear, he also had to go straight to Fan Yang, he knew that Hua Mulan's body had recovered a lot, and he really traveled a long way, I was afraid that he would have to worry about his life, and said worriedly: "Mulan, can your body work? Or go back and continue to protect Your Majesty?"

"How can this work?" Hua Mulan shook her head again and again: "I am the one who made this suggestion and persuaded everyone, if I don't go, how can everyone fight with all their might? Don't worry, I will keep my hands, the rebels will try to kill as little as possible, and only capture An Lushan." ”

"I'm not afraid that you will kill a lot, I am afraid that you will be killed by them. Cheng Yanjin was speechless for a while: "This girl is really confident." ”

"Be yourself. Hua Mulan didn't seem to hear Cheng Yanjin's words, but muttered to herself: "My father said: If you are too far away from home, you will forget your hometown, and if you kill too many people, you will forget yourself." ”
