"Go and take back the flag of your family owner and hang it on the flagpole at the top of the city. The Rouran people have been fighting for a few days. We must let them know which general is guarding the pass when they attack the pass? Otherwise, people will laugh at it. We don't know the rules!"

Huahai immediately agreed: "Understood, I'll ask someone to hang up the banner!"

Before dinner was served, Zhao Junsheng called another tooth master and said, "Take your people to find buckets and wooden basins to fetch water, fill all the iron pots on the city wall with water, and find some dry wood to boil water on. !"

"Yes, Captain!"

Zhao Junsheng then arranged a lot of people to carry the defense equipment, such as arrows, wood, and stones, to prepare for the battle so that he would not panic when the enemy came to attack.

Zhao Junsheng sent someone to find Pei Jin and told him: "Pei Jin, you don't need to do anything else, I will give you a team, and you take them to deliver arrows, water, kerosene, wood and stones to the city wall at any time. Don’t transport too much up at one time, too much will take up space, wait until the consumption is almost gone before transporting up. Also, organize people to deliver drinking water and food to the defenders in time!”

Pei Jin agreed: "This subordinate understands! Please rest assured that this subordinate must make proper arrangements!"

Rouran army camp.

Da Na sat on the big tiger-skin chair, took a small knife, cut the mutton into his mouth, and ate it. After eating, he took another sip of kumiss.

A Rouran soldier quickly walked in and bowed down to report: "Commander, a banner with Chinese characters is hung on the top of Nantian Castle, and they sent people to clean up the corpses in front of the pass and on the hillside!"

"Oh?" Da Na was surprised after hearing this: "The Jinling camp sent reinforcements and generals to guard it? They didn't hang the general flag a few days ago, and he thought of cleaning up the corpses. I'm afraid this general surnamed Hua is not good. Come on, could it be that the deployment of the night attack against us last night was written by General Wei surnamed Hua?"

Chapter 314 The Fall of Da'e Mountain Fort

"Back to Commander, there seems to be a lot more defenders on the city wall!" Rou Ranbing who reported the message said again.

After hearing this, Dana put down the butcher knife, took a towel to wipe his hands, got up and walked out quickly.

Not long after, Da Naa galloped towards Nantian Fort with a large number of followers on horseback. He reined in his horse at the foot of the mountain and looked up towards Nantian Fort. Sure enough, he found that there were crowds of people on the city wall, and the number of troops was obviously much larger than yesterday's daytime. .

"It seems that reinforcements really came!" Da Na frowned and said.

A general next to him asked Da Na: "Commander, after the children have finished eating, will we attack Nantian Castle as usual?"

Da Na thought for a while, then raised his hand and said: "No! Immediately release the eagle to report the situation of Nantian Castle to Princess Tuzhen, whether to continue to attack Nantian Castle, and wait for the news from Tuzhen!"

"Yes, handsome!"

On the Nantian Castle side, Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and the defenders were fully prepared to meet the attack of the Rouran army, but they waited and waited, but they never saw the Rouran army attacking.

"Today is really strange, why don't Rouran people attack?" Hua Mulan raised her head to see that the sun had risen so high, she frowned and said, she felt that there was something wrong.

Zhao Junsheng smiled and said, "Isn't it good for us that Rouran doesn't attack? It can let the soldiers rest more. Don't you still want Rouran to attack?"

Hua Mulan said, "No, that's not what I mean. I'm worried about the tricks of the Rouran people. Wouldn't it be a disadvantage if we didn't notice it?"

"I asked you to hang your general flag, and the strength of the city has increased. General Rouran probably has discovered this. It is normal for them not to attack immediately!"

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the camp below the hillside. Many soldiers in his camp were lying on the grass basking in the sun. He said to Hua Mulan, "Since the Rouran people don't come to attack, we can't let the soldiers be idle. , Except for the wounded soldiers, cooks, and grooms, let all the idle soldiers go to cut wood and collect stones, and collect more supplies and equipment for defending the city!"

Hua Mulan actually had this idea before, but she was worried that the Rouran people would attack at any time. If there was an emergency on the city wall and the idle soldiers were not there, there would be no reinforcements in time.

Now that she had heard Zhao Junsheng's proposal, she no longer had any scruples about it, and immediately issued an order.

After receiving the order, the owners of each building had to gather all the idle soldiers to collect stones and cut wood.

An hour later, an eagle flew over a valley 200 miles north of Da'e Mountain, more than 500 miles west of Nantianbao. There were more than [-] white tents erected in the valley, and a soft man walked out of the tent in the middle. Ran Xiaoshuai.

The eagle circled in the sky and spread its wings and landed on Rouran Xiaoshuai's arm. The wind from the wings lifted up the dust on the ground.

Xiao Shuang raised her arms to support the weight of the eagle, took out a roll of paper from the small tube tied to the eagle's feet with her left hand, and walked into the tent.

"Princess, Commander Da Na has sent a message from a flying eagle!" Xiao Shuai walked into the tooth tent and reported to Princess Tuzhen who was sitting in the tent watching.

Princess Tuzhen was lying halfway on the soft couch. She was wearing a flower-colored round felt hat inlaid with gemstones and three colorful bird feathers on the top of the hat. She was wearing a beautifully patterned brocade robe and pointed boots.

Princess Tuzhen didn't speak, she just stretched out her bái nèn hand.

An attendant at the side took the scroll and put it in Princess Tuzhen's hand, Princess Tuzhen put it down and opened the small scroll.

After reading the contents on the small scroll, Princess Tuzhen slowly straightened up and sat up, her eyes lit up, and she opened her mouth to drink: "Order all ministries to assemble quickly and send troops to Da'e Mountain!"

An orderly ran out of the tent, took out a horn, put it on his mouth, puffed up his cheeks and blew violently: "Woo—————"

The Rouran soldiers in each camp hung their machetes on their waists, took off their bows and arrows and carried them on their backs, and ran towards the stables with their saddles, stirrups and quiver.

Some people began to dismantle the tents after they were empty, rolled up the tents, and brought in horses to carry them.

It didn't take long for the Rouran cavalry to gather in the open space on horseback one by one, and all 5000 horses and horses gathered soon.

Princess Tuzhen walked out of the tent wearing leather armor, a leather helmet, and a scimitar inlaid with gemstones on her waist. A servant led the horse and walked over. A slave immediately knelt down beside the horse and used his back to form a bench.

Princess Tuzhen stepped on the slave's back and stepped on the horse. Another servant handed over a long spear with both hands. She took the long spear, and galloped towards the front of the army with her legs wrapped around the horse's belly. The subordinates mounted their horses one after another. Followed by.

"Lü—" Princess Tuzhen reined in her horse and stopped in front of the army formation. The horse neighed, the horse stood upright, its front hooves raised high, and then fell down.

"My sons and daughters, break through Da'e Mountain, take down the Jinling camp, destroy the Xianbei's tomb of the first emperor, eat meat, drink and play with women, are you ready?"

All Rouran warriors raised their scimitars and spears and shouted: "Oh, oh, oh..."

"Break camp and set off!"

Following Princess Tuzhen's coquettish shout, groups of Rouran cavalry quickly left the valley, and those who fell behind were some Rouran soldiers who mounted siege ladders on carts, drove the horses, pulled the carts and hung them on the large group of cavalry. Behind them, some herdsmen were the last to go out of the valley. They drove large herds of cattle, sheep and horses unhurriedly along the hooves and dung left by the Rouran cavalry.

In less than an hour, Princess Tuzhen appeared at the northern foot of Da'e Mountain with five thousand Rouran cavalry.

Da'e Mountain was suddenly in chaos, and the soldiers on the fort wall panicked and ran around.

Xu Brai climbed up the city wall with a solemn face and looked down the mountain. The dense Rouran cavalry was gathering, and a large number of carts were coming behind them, pulling the siege ladder.

"Hurry up, send a fast horse to report to the Jinling camp that the Rouran army is coming again. There are about [-] people, and the leader is a female general!"

"As ordered!"

Subliel took a deep breath, turned his head and yelled at the guarding soldiers on the city wall: "Don't panic, bring up the wood, stones and arrows, set up an iron pot to boil water, and prepare for defense!"

The soldiers felt a little more at ease when they heard Subliel's clear order, but the strength gap between the two sides was too great. Subliel only had more than 200 soldiers in his hands, and there were more than 100 wounded soldiers. .

Seeing the defenders busy on the city wall, Princess Tuzhen sneered, "Is there still time to hug Buddha's feet temporarily?" After speaking, she beckoned.

A general beat his horse and came over to stroke his chest: "Princess!"

"Let's not give them time to prepare, let the boys attack, are you ready here?"

"Back to the princess, you can start anytime!"

"Then let's get started. When the sun reaches the middle of the day, my princess will overlook the beautiful rivers and mountains of Wei State from the fort wall of Da'e Mountain Fort!"

"Take orders!" General Rou Ran agreed, patted his chest, raised his hand and waved forward, and shouted: "The first and second buildings attack, the third and fourth buildings are ready!"
