my wife is mulan

After the departure of Pi Lixian's army, the whole morning was calm, neither the Wei army came to harass, nor did the large Wei army come to attack.

When it was around noon, Kuhehan followed Pi Lixian and said, "Chu Lifa, my subordinates speculate that the Wei army must not have many troops, otherwise they would have killed them long ago, and there is no need to play hide-and-seek with us!"

Pi Lixian nodded: "You're right, I thought about this question last night, so I asked you to send elite scouts to scout where their brigade is located, just to find their foothold and fight them head-on! Yes Is there any news from the scouts you sent out?"

"No news yet!"

Pi Li felt a little uneasy and asked, "Is there something wrong with the scouts we sent out? Why hasn't there been any news yet?"

"Should...not be?" Kuhehan replied with some uncertainty, "The subordinates sent out not one scout, but a dozen, and they dispersed their actions, even if one or two had a problem, It's impossible for everyone to have a problem, right?"

Little did they know that Zhao Junsheng had ordered to tell Bai Jinguang that their mission today was to clear up the scouts sent by the Rouran people.

"Report-report--"

Following the continuous shouts, a ranger came galloping from the south.

Pi Lixian stopped his horse and raised his hand to stop all the horses.

The ranger reined in his horse and stopped panting in front of Pi Lixian and reported: "Qi Lifa, our group of rangers was attacked by the Wei army, and by the time we realized it, we were surrounded by them, except for me who escaped. Everyone else..."

Pi Li Xian immediately asked: "How many people are there?"

"Hundred to ride!"

Pi Li was taken aback for a moment, "Only a hundred riders?"

"Yes!"

Pi Lixian immediately sent [-] cavalry to gallop to the place where the ranger sentry was attacked in the south.

After sending them out, Pi Li first realized what happened, and immediately ordered Kuhahan: "Send people to the other three directions to check if our ranger is still there!"

"understand!"

Not long after, the Rouran cavalry sent to investigate in three other directions returned one by one to report that all the rangers deployed by the army wài wéi were killed. They found their bodies, but the horses and arrows were gone.

None of the reconnaissance posts came back, and now it is discovered that all the guard posts of the army wài wéi have been killed. Doesn't this mean that they have lost their eyes?Pi Lixian felt a chill rising from his heart.

Hu Hehan reminded Pi Lixian with a solemn expression: "Tu Lifa, an hour has passed, and the [-] cavalry sent have not returned yet. The wài wéi guard post is only five or six miles away from us. There should be news, but we have not received any news, as if the three hundred cavalry disappeared out of thin air!"

Pi Lixian's expression has never been so tense and dignified, he shouted: "Bring the sheepskin map!"

A personal guard brought a large sheepskin map, and Pi Li first spread it out on the ground, squatting beside the map to find his own location.

"Kuhehan, where do you think their headquarters is most likely to be hidden?"

Huhehan squatted next to the map, checked it, reached out his hand and clicked on the map and said: "Qilifa, our location should be here, and the hiding place of the Wei army headquarters should not be far from us. If it is too far away, they will The soldiers and horses who come out to attack us will not be able to get supplies! You see, the south bank of the river, Hongyan Lake, Yeyang Ridge, Vulture Hill, and Huangniupo are all possible hiding places for them. Among them, Yeyang Ridge and Vulture Mountain can already be ruled out, because these two places are behind us! Huangniupo is a little far away from us, only Hongyan Lake and the riverside are the most likely hiding places for them!"

Pi Lixian nodded, thought for a while and said: "Hongyan Lake is the place we must pass through. They may be there, but we have to go there sooner or later. There is no rush! Huhehan, I order you to lead three thousand riders to the lakeside Find their camp and kill them all!"

Chapter 373 Pillisian's Counterattack

Before arriving at the shore of Hongyan Lake, Zhao Junsheng had been sleeping on his horse and did not wake up until he arrived at Hongyan Lake.

There are many swan geese and other water birds by the swan goose lake, most of which are swan geese. Now that the weather is getting warmer, flocks of swan geese have returned from the south to lay eggs and hatch here to raise their chicks.

There is no place to camp by the lake, and people who pass by here only fetch water from the lake.The men and horses of the supply camp set up camp on the edge of the woods two miles away from the lake.

Gao Xu, Cao Jiao, Pei Jin and others sat around Zhao Junsheng and discussed the next arrangement together.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Since the expedition, how has the infantry's training in cavalry and cavalry tactics gone?"

Gao Xu clasped his fists and replied: "The soldiers have made great progress, especially in riding skills. This prairie is the best place to train riding skills. The proficiency of various tactics and tactics has also been greatly improved. The improvement is the most obvious, the main reason is that the army has enough arrows to practice, and our baggage battalion is in charge of the transportation and storage of the baggage, so naturally there is no shortage of arrows!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Can infantry be transformed into cavalry to fight?"

Cao Jiao couldn't help looking at Gao Xu, Gao Xu pondered for a moment, clasped his fists and replied, "Dutong, I don't think it's enough, the brothers have made a lot of progress, but... the time is too short. It's only been more than two months, and the accumulation and precipitation are not enough. So far, the cavalry tactics trained by the three thousand cavalry teams, although the infantry soldiers have all practiced, but they are not familiar enough, the cooperation is not close enough, and the foundation has not yet been laid. Firm, tactical literacy is not yet in place, now pulling the battlefield is to deliver food to the Rouran people!"

Zhao Junsheng was just asking. He didn't expect to use the infantry who had only been trained for two months as cavalry. He ordered: "Then continue to practice, the foundation must be solid! In addition, the infantry and baggage will be withdrawn to Langtou next step." Shan, you will set off after the cavalry brothers have finished their supplies!"

Gao Xu, Cao Jiao and Pei Jin clasped their hands together: "Obey!"

At this time, Gao Xiu hurriedly rode his horse and ran over, reined in his horse and stopped to report: "Dutong, things are not going well. Pi Li first sent [-] cavalry to go straight to the camp by the river! Because the incident happened suddenly, Bai Jinguang had no time to organize troops to intercept it." , and worried that Pi Lixian's brigade would escape our army's sight, so we had to send someone over to report!"

Zhao Junsheng suddenly stood up and changed his face, and immediately ordered Gao Xiu: "Quickly, order the second and third thousand cavalry to assemble, and follow me to hurry to the riverside camp! I hope the guard post at the riverside camp wài wéi is clear." Lazy, I hope King Yongchang and the others can react in time and gather troops to meet them, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"As ordered!"

In less than a cup of tea, the second and third thousand cavalry teams with nearly 2000 horsemen assembled. Zhao Junsheng got on his horse, took the long spear from Li Bao's hand and waved forward: "Let's go to the riverside camp!"

Gao Xu, Cao Jiao, Pei Jin and others clasped their fists and shouted: "Take care all the way!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand and led the army to gallop faster and faster.

After running for a while, Gao Xiu gradually approached Zhao Junsheng and said loudly: "Dutong, the distance from the place where Pilixian's army is located to the camp by the river is about the same as the distance from us to the camp by the river, and when we got the news, it was already quite a distance." For a long time, it may be too late to rush over at this time, if King Yongchang and the others are completely unprepared, Rouran people only need two moments to crush them!"

Where did Zhao Junsheng not know?He said: "Do your best to obey the destiny!"

It's fine if he doesn't know about this matter, but if he knows, if he doesn't go to the rescue, he won't be able to explain it afterwards, and he still has to count on King Yongchang to help him block the persecution and pressure from all sides, so King Yongchang must have nothing to do.

Along the way, the horses rode fast, and the two spare horses rode once in rotation, and finally arrived at the army by the lake at Shen Shi, but they were still late.

The battle is over, the camp by the lake is in a mess, corpses are strewn all over the field, the wounded who are not yet dead are lying on the ground or showing painful shēn y, or howling incessantly, where are the scattered horses, cattle and sheep eating by the river Banners of various colors fell on the ground and were trampled to the ground.

Many tents in the camp were burning, and the thick smoke billowed into the sky, emitting an unpleasant stench. Many soldiers

The pawns are cleaning up the corpses of companions and horses in the camp.

Zhao Junsheng and Gao Xiu stopped their horses, and the army behind them also stopped.

"My God... all the armies may have suffered heavy losses!" Gao Xiu said with a serious face.

Zhao Junsheng sighed: "The troubles of the capital are coming! Gao Xiu, you take your troops back to our camp, don't contact with other soldiers and horses, so as not to be infected with the disease! Li Bao, take the soldiers with me See King Yongchang!"

"Obey!" The two agreed with clasped fists at the same time.

Zhao Junsheng and Li Bao stopped at the gate of the camp with their own soldiers, and slowly approached the camp on horseback. There were corpses and stumps lying on the ground everywhere, with swords, spears and arrows lying on the ground. Everywhere, burning tents were still extinguished.

Arriving outside the tent, Zhao Junsheng had just jumped down when Xiaoqi General Yanpu rushed up, shouting, "Zhao Junsheng, you bastard, I want to kill you!"

A sharp saber slashed towards the top of Zhao Junsheng's head, Li Bao jumped in front of Zhao Junsheng with two axes in his hands, swung the ax to block Yanpu's saber, and stared at Yanpu.

"Do you dare to stop this general? Die for me!" Yanpu was furious, swung his knife and slashed at Li Bao again like a storm.

"Dangdangdang..." A series of sounds of weapons clashing spread.

Yongchang Wang Tuobajian came out from the dental tent and shouted loudly: "Stop!"
