She Lun hurriedly got up and stretched out his hand towards the city gate: "Please, King Youxian and Princess Tuzhen!"

Accompanied by She Lun, the father and daughter slowly entered the city with soldiers and horses. Although the city was not smoky, it was not clean and tidy. There were horse manure and sheep manure everywhere, and the smell of urine was permeating. The captured Northern Wei slaves were working, some feeding horses and some pulling carts.

Ta Wulu suddenly didn't think anything, but Princess Tuzhen was a clean person, she frowned and said, "Master Shelun, I heard that Shengle City used to be the old capital of Xianbei people, it should be very prosperous and peaceful. It's clean and tidy, look at the mess here, and the smell is everywhere, don't you plan to stay here permanently?"

She Lun didn't understand the meaning of Tuzhen's words, and asked in confusion: "What is the meaning of Princess Tuzhen's words? If Khan let me guard here forever, I will never leave half a step for the rest of my life. Are you here permanently?"

"If you plan to stay here permanently, why do you let the sons and daughters make this place a mess? When you enter the city, you can smell a foul smell. I really don't know how you live!"

She Lun couldn't help but look sideways at Princess Tuzhen's words, he didn't take it seriously, all the Rouran warriors in Shengle City are rough people, why pay so much attention to it?Not girls!I'm afraid only a thin-skinned and tender woman like you, Princess Tuzhen, would care about this?

Although She Lun was slandering her in her heart, she said very modestly: "What Princess Tuzhen said is that I will order that the sons under my command are not allowed to go to the toilet anywhere, and the livestock are not allowed to defecate and urinate anywhere!"

This time, Tawu Luhu and Princess Tuzhen came from Khan's royal court and traveled more than 3000 miles. After arriving here, they were quite tired, so Shelun arranged a palace for them to live and rest.

That night, Shelun hosted a banquet for Tawuluhu and Princess Tuzhen, accompanied by other generals. The father and daughter had just arrived, so it was not good for Shelun's face to show up at the banquet together.

There was nothing delicious in the banquet, and there were no good programs, it was nothing more than wine, meat, singing and dancing. Tuzhen was not very interested in these at all, and everyone was silent.

After a few glasses of wine, She Lun tried to test Ta Wu Lu Hu: "I don't know if King Youxian is here on behalf of Khan to inspect this time, or is there another business?"

Ta Wulu suddenly drank a few glasses and was a little drunk, but when asked by She Lun, he suddenly regained consciousness and said with a smile: "Today we don't talk about official business, we only talk about fine wine and women!"

She Lun was taken aback, and immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, only talk about wine and women, hahaha..."

All of a sudden, singing, singing, singing and dancing, and the melody of music resounded everywhere in the hall.

Early the next morning, Tawuluhu and Princess Tuzhen arrived at Shelun's residence under the escort of a group of Rouran warriors in armor and swords.

She Lun was hangover last night and hadn't woken up until this time. A soldier walked into the room and reported to him that Tawuluhu and Princess Tuzhen had come in aggressively. He lost all drunkenness and regained consciousness in an instant. After a quick wash, he came out immediately. meet.

"I don't know that King Youxian came so early, but Shelun has

Forgive me, forgive me! "

Ta Wulu suddenly held the handle of the knife, looked around, and said to She Lun seriously: "Marshal She Lun, Khan has a secret order!"

Shocked, She Lun immediately backed away from the left and right sides, and stroked his chest with his right hand: "There is no one else here, please King Youxian announce the Khan's secret order!"

"Khan ordered this king to command the soldiers and horses in the north and south of Yinshan Mountain, and be responsible for attacking Wei State. After a few days, the ice and snow will melt!"

She Lun bowed down and said: "She Lun obeys orders, and is willing to obey the orders of Youxian King!"

"Very good!" Ta Wulu suddenly walked to the simple map hanging on the left and looked at it, and saw hundreds of Northern Wei military garrisons marked on the map south of Yinshan Mountain.

"Marshal Shelun, where do you think that I, Rouran, will start going south to attack Wei?"

Faced with Ta Wu Lu Hu's inquiry, She Lun did not panic. He walked to the map and said, "Youxian King, we have the latest news. This year, the direction of Wei's attack is to the west, and the deployment of troops is also focused on the remnants of Hu Xia in the west. , After the ice and snow melt, it is the best time for us to attack the Northern Wei Dynasty! I think the Pingcheng of the Wei State should be empty, and there are not many troops stationed there, but if our army wants to attack Pingcheng, we must solve Jinling to the south of us Garrison, but in the past two months, they have built many forts, sentries, and beacons in the south of Shengle City and north of Jinling, and sent soldiers and horses to garrison them, ranging from five to hundreds of people. Get rid of these obstacles first!"

Ta Wulu suddenly touched the beard on his chin, "Then remove these obstacles first, which castle do you think should be attacked first?"

Chapter 192 The Battle of Da'e Mountain

She Lun pointed to the simple map: "Look, King Youxian, there are two most prominent points between our control area and Wei State control area, the first is Da'e Mountain; the second is Tunzuo Mountain! Now , the Xianbei people built two big forts at these two positions, each with a hundred troops, one to monitor the movement of our army; , Now they also built a fort there, named Nantian Fort! If we can pull out these three nails, then the defense belt set up by the Xianbei people in the south will be useless!"

"However, the two forts of Da'e Mountain and Tunzuo Mountain lead directly to the Jinling camp of the Xianbei people. If we pull out these two nails first, and finally solve the worries of Nantian Fort, we can drive south for a long time!"

Ta Wulu suddenly listened to She Lun's thoughts and thought for a while, then turned to ask Princess Tuzhen: "Tuzhen, what do you think of She Lun's thoughts?"

Tuzhen took a look at it and said: "Let's try to attack the two forts of Da'e Mountain and Tunzuo Mountain first. If you can take them down, it will not be too late to attack Nantian Fort!"

Ta Wulu suddenly walked back and forth in front of the simple map holding the handle of the knife, weighing and thinking about the chain reaction that would happen once the attack was carried out according to She Lun's idea.

After thinking for a while, Ta Wulu suddenly couldn't think of any clues. He was not the roundworm in the stomach of An Yuan, the coach of the Jinling Camp in the Northern Wei Dynasty. How could he figure out An Yuan's thoughts?

"In that case, let's make a tentative attack on Da'e Mountain first! She Lun, you are in charge of this battle. How many people do you think can take down Da'e Mountain without causing Wei's Jinling garrison to mobilize on a large scale?"

She Lun thought for a while and said: "Five buildings, too many are useless, too few are useless!"

Rouran’s military system is based on the Northern Wei Dynasty, but it is different. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, there are at least 300 people in a building, and there are as many as a thousand people, which is not fixed; while the Rouran Army has more than [-] people in a building, and an army of more than [-] people. .

"Okay, let's send five troops to attack Da'e Mountain, but I tell you that after launching the attack, you only have one day, and if you can't take down Da'e Mountain within one day, you have to retreat. I don't want to be here It's time to start a large-scale war with the Wei army, the ice and snow have not yet melted, and the temperature has not yet warmed up, so a large-scale war at this time is not good for our army, which is all cavalry!"

Ta Wu Lu Hu's words made She Lun feel that it would not be easy to attack a fortress guarded by less than a hundred people this time, so he clasped his fists solemnly and agreed: "She Lun understands!"

Three days later, two groups of Rouran cavalry arrived at Da'e Mountain. This time, only the general leading the team was commanding the battle. Tawuluhu, Shelun, and Princess Tuzhen were all just accompanying the army to watch the attack process and results. During this battle, we found out some of the situation of the Wei army.

Da'e Mountain is not too high and not steep, but it is one of the most critical arteries in and out of the Rouran-controlled area and the Wei Army-controlled area. The Wei Army built a fortress with [-] people here to guard against the Rouran cavalry.

There are many stones on Da'e Mountain, and this fort was built on the mountain. Based on the principle of using local materials, this fort was also built with stones as the main material.

Of course, when hundreds of Rouran cavalrymen appeared within the sight of the guarding Wei army, the alarm bells in the fort suddenly rang out, and all the defenders were alarmed for a while. The team leader immediately ordered all the defenders to prepare for battle, bundles of arrows, Pieces of stones and kerosene were moved to the top of the fort, and an iron pot was set up on the stove on the top of the fort to start boiling water. Some soldiers kept carrying wooden buckets filled with water from the outside and entered the fort. Enough drinking water needs to be stored in the fort. .

When the Rouran people were preparing to attack, the defense preparations in the fortress on Da'e Mountain were almost completed.

"Attack!" General Rouran, who led the team, drew out his scimitar and pointed at Da'e Mountain, shouted and beat his horse to climb up the mountain.

More than [-] cavalry scattered and climbed up the hillside to the fort on the top of the hill, followed by a dozen people carrying a thick log, which was a simple battering ram that the Rouran people were going to use to smash open the gate of the fort.

The snow hadn't completely melted yet, and the hillside was slippery. It was only half way from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain when the hooves of a dozen Rouran cavalrymen slipped. The two of them fell down with their horses and rolled down the mountain. Many Rouran cavalry were knocked down, losing more than 20 cavalry.

Princess Tuzhen on horseback in the distance at the foot of the mountain saw this

In one scene, he said to She Lun: "Marshal She Lun, I dare to conclude that this Da'e Mountain Fort will not be taken down today, do you believe it?"

She Lun was a little annoyed, how could it be said that the soldiers under his command were the ones who attacked, Tuzhen made it clear that he looked down on his men, "Princess, it's too early for you to say this now, isn't it?"

"Is it too early? I don't think it's too early at all. As soon as your people started attacking, I knew that today must be a waste of work! Why don't we make a bet, if you can't win Da'e Mountain Fort today, you will lose yours tomorrow." The warriors lend me 500 people, and I will lead the attack, how about it?" Tuzhen looked at Shelun seriously and expressed his thoughts.

She Lun said: "Didn't King Youxian only give me one day? If I can't win in one day, I have to retreat. The Wei army will definitely send reinforcements. It will be difficult to leave by then!"

Tuzhen shook his head: "I can guarantee that the Wei army will not send troops to reinforce it before I lead troops to capture Da'e Mountain Fort!"

She Lun didn’t know where Tuzhen’s self-confidence came from, so he swore that Wei Jun would not send troops to reinforce him tomorrow, but he felt uncomfortable, so he immediately agreed: “Okay, if you can’t win the Da’e Mountain Fort today, I will lend you 500 troops tomorrow. , you will lead the attack!"

Under the leadership of the leading general, the Rouran cavalry braved the arrows on the fortress on Da'e Mountain and slowly climbed up the mountain. While walking, some people were constantly shot down by the arrows shot from the fortress.

The Rouran cavalry shot back with their bows and arrows, but when they fired upwards, they were on the rugged hillside, and there were bunker walls and archery holes in the fortress. How could the arrows of the Rouran cavalry hit the fortress easily? Wei Bing?Only a few unlucky ghosts were hit by arrows from the archery holes.

Wei Bing hid in the fort and used bows and arrows to shoot at the Rouran cavalry who were riding and crawling on the hillside one by one, just like practicing shooting targets. When they reached the bottom of the fortress, hundreds of casualties had already been paid, which was a very terrifying number.

"Smashing stones!" The captain shouted loudly from the top of the castle.

A large number of stones fell from the fortress, and the Rouran cavalry on horseback were smashed and screamed and fell off their horses. The falling stones and arrows became a nightmare for the Rouran cavalry.

The Rouran soldiers who followed up carrying logs rushed to the gate of the fort after paying the price of several lives. They yelled and hit the gate of the fort with logs, trying to break the gate open, but the gate was blocked by the defenders. The inside was blocked by a few thick wooden pillars and a lot of stones. No matter how the Rouran people bumped into it, the fort gate was knocked loudly, but it still could not be smashed open.

After hitting the door to no avail, the Rouran people paid the price of more than a hundred people, unable to sustain such heavy casualties, and finally
