my wife is mulan

Zhao Junsheng said: "I understand your feelings, but the Qizhou army has suffered heavy losses in the half year of defending the city. The soldiers will be exhausted and need time to cultivate, so they will stay and cultivate while replenishing their troops. Comparing, how?"

"This······"

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "If you really want to make some effort, how about ordering Wang Huilong to bring 3000 people with the army?"

Sima Chuzhi agreed: "Yes!"

Chapter 628 Attack the enemy's weaknesses with one's own strengths

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Junsheng led an army from Licheng to Qingzhou. On the way to the barracks with his wife and children under the escort of cavalry, the people in the city saw him off along the street.

"Hey, why are there women and children in this army?" Someone in the crowd asked his companions suspiciously.

"You don't even know this? It is said that this is the wife and child of King Qian." Someone next to him explained.

Some of the people were surprised and said: "Going to war and bringing your wife and children? This dry king is really interesting!"

"What do you know? It's a harmonious family and a loving husband and wife!"

"Tch, I think this king's behavior is a bit absurd. Since ancient times, how can a general bring his wife and children to fight? Isn't this nonsense?"

"It's just that you are ignorant and have brought your wives and children to fight more! Besides, you are not only a general, but also a king!"

Zhao Junsheng took his wife and children and the accompanying officials and staff out of the city to the military camp outside the city under the escort of Qingqi. Sima Chuzhi and Licheng officials saw him off all the way.

The 3000 troops outside the city plus Wang Huilong's [-] troops are ready and ready to go.

Since the recovery of the counties and counties of Qizhou, Zhao Junsheng did not send troops to garrison, but directly used the surrendered state and county soldiers to guard these cities. In order to prevent these people from rebelling again, Zhao Junsheng ordered to replace all the generals and officers of the state and county soldiers. Well, use the two methods of appointment by superiors and soldiers to appoint officers of the state and county soldiers, and then send a small number of officers to be responsible for cleaning up military discipline. This method is used to firmly control the state and county soldiers. In order to maintain their own If you have a high position, you will definitely do your best and try your best to restrain the soldiers and officers below.

The advantage of this is that Zhao Junsheng does not need to deploy troops from the main force to garrison, and directly leaves all the task of defending the city to the state and county soldiers. The main force can be used for expeditions without wasting troops.

When they arrived at the barracks, Yuan He, who was appointed by Zhao Junsheng as the commander of the army, and the generals greeted him with clasped fists and reported: "Your Majesty, the whole army is ready and ready to go at any time!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and waved: "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers and horses of each army left the camp one by one and headed southeast.

Zhao Junsheng waved to Sima Chuzhi and other Qizhou officials and generals: "You don't have to send it away, you all go back!" After speaking, he took the lead to catch up with the brigade, and Hua Mulan hugged her son and other officials and staff to fight horses. go up.

Sima Chuzhi and the others clasped their fists together and shouted loudly: "I wish you a great victory and come back with a great victory!"

Not long after the army left the camp, the surrounding terrain was open and the view was unobstructed. Yuan He, as the commander of the army, ordered the cavalry to be on the two wings, the infantry to be in the middle, and the luggage to be the last. Infantry and rear supplies.

When the terrain changed, the army stretched into a long snake formation again.

After marching for three days, the army arrived at the camp outside Linzi City. This marching speed shocked the Southern Dynasty defenders stationed in Linzi City. It was at least 270 miles from Licheng to Linzi. About ten miles, ten miles a day is already very fast.

Even if the dry army travels ten miles a day, it is impossible to reach the city of Linzi within three days. What's more, in the current weather, the smell is slightly warmer, the snow on the ground has melted, and the road is full of mud. This has a great impact on the marching speed Yes, plus the burden of logistical equipment, being able to walk sixty miles a day is already a godsend.

On the tower of Linzi city, Xue Tong, a general of the Southern Dynasty, held his sword hilt and watched the cavalry outside the city galloping back and forth on the flat ground, showing off their might, feeling angry, anxious and horrified.

Xue Tong turned his head and looked at the soldiers beside him and behind him, feeling relieved. Tan Daoji gave him 1 horses to garrison here. This Linzi City has been the state government of Qingzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Three Kingdoms, and Western Jin Dynasty, and the city wall is still relatively tall. Thick, for more than a month, he has been stationed here and built a lot of defensive equipment. I believe that with these defensive equipment, his command and the heroic fighting of the soldiers, the Qianjun wants to capture the city in a short time. Linzi City is absolutely impossible.

Ten miles outside Linzi City, Zhao Junsheng ordered to set up camp under a forest with the back against it. The forest can block the camp from blowing wind from the north

Although the ice and snow are melting, the temperature seems to be colder. The north blows on the face and body, which feels uncomfortable.

into the night.

The commander's tent was brightly lit, and a fire was burning in the middle of the big tent to disperse the cold air. The army staff, officials and generals were separated on both sides. Zhao Junsheng sat on the head with the child and Hua Mulan in his arms.

Zhao Junsheng asked the supply and logistics officer, "How long will it take for the siege equipment to arrive?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the parts of the siege equipment are too heavy. They are all carried by horse-drawn carts. In addition, the ground is muddy. The speed is a little slower than that of the main army and the luggage team, and they can be delivered within two days!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Well, I will order the soldiers to rest for two days, but the ducks will be left alone. Morning exercises will continue as usual, with one hour each in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. It doesn't matter whether they are infantry or cavalry!"

Army Sima Yuanhe stood up and agreed: "Obey!"

Zhao Junsheng continued: "We have arrived in Linzi, but there are many cities around, we can't leave these cities alone, or even the scouts will be discovered as soon as they show up, so we must send troops to destroy the surrounding cities. Come down, take down the surrounding cities and spread your eyes and ears to monitor the movement of the army of the Southern Dynasty, so as to prevent Tan Daoji, an old fox, from sneaking up on our flanks! Who will lead the troops to attack the surrounding cities, and which general is willing to volunteer?"

The surrounding cities are all small counties. It is easy to fight, if you meet a soft guard, you can take down a city with a fright; if you say it is difficult to fight, it is also difficult to fight, and you meet a strong willed guard. , although there are not many defenders in the city, it is not so easy to take down without using siege equipment, it takes time and effort!There are still some cities with only a few hundred people garrisoned. It is difficult to fight without any sense of accomplishment. The generals in the tent don't want to go, and no one makes a sound.

Zhao Junsheng found that no one stood up to take up this task, and he was a little unhappy, knocking on the table: "What's the matter, you don't want to do it because you think the work is troublesome and the oil is too little?"

Hua Mulan looked left and right, and said to resolve the embarrassment: "Well, I haven't moved much these days, and I want to exercise my muscles and bones a long time ago. You give me 5000 troops, and I will command and attack the surrounding cities!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it, and finally agreed: "I will give you 1 horses, and take down the surrounding cities as soon as possible!"

After the military meeting was over, everyone dispersed, and Zhao Junsheng stayed behind for several main staff members.

"There are many cities around Linzi City. Although they are not fortified cities, they are still cities. There are so many cities. It is not so easy to take them down as soon as possible! Mulan, what do you think, how do you plan to take these cities down? Gentlemen, if you have any good ideas, please tell me!"

Hua Mulan said with a smile: "Husband, you forgot. Didn't you send someone to check last time? Most of the soldiers in the Southern Dynasty suffered from night blindness. I plan to use my brains in this regard. If I want to sneak attack at night when there are many garrisons and heavily guarded This method may not work; but if you want to take advantage of the shortcomings of the Southern Dynasty Army to attack county-level cities, you are still very sure!"

"Hey, why did I forget about this? Hearing what you said, it is indeed a good way to take advantage of the night blindness common in Southern Dynasties to launch night raids on surrounding cities!"

Cui Hao clapped his palms and said with a smile: "This is using your own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses! Wonderful, wonderful!"

The next day, Hua Mulan ordered [-] infantry soldiers in the army, and called the generals and commanders of them to the camp to discuss matters.

In the Northern Dynasties, there was no military position of commander-in-chief, and there was no establishment of commander-in-arms in the army. This was a position temporarily set up by Zhao Junsheng for the convenience of commanding an army general. It was between the general and the leader of the army. Basically, several prominent generals in the first army will serve concurrently, and they will be appointed by the military leader or town general at the next level.

Hua Mulan looked at the generals and asked, "You and your troops were all selected by this general from the army, do you know why this general called you here today?"

All the generals said in unison: "Attack the surrounding cities!"

"That's right!" Hua Mulan nodded and said, "These cities are basically counties. Even if there are counties, there are not many defenders. Our task is to pull out and capture these counties one by one!

There are not many Southern Dynasty troops guarding these cities, but if they use ordinary siege methods to attack the city, it will take a lot of effort and effort, and many brothers will definitely die. However, this general knows that the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty Army generally suffer from Have night blindness, what is night blindness?Does anyone know? "

A building general raised his hand and said, "I heard that this night blindness seems to cause the eyes to go black when the light is dim at night, and you can't see anything!"

"You're right!" Hua Mulan reaffirmed, "We want to take advantage of the weakness of the Southern Dynasty army to attack the city they are stationing. How do we do it? Launch a night attack!"

Immediately, some of the generals' eyes lit up, clapped their hands and said, "That's right, why didn't I think of that!"

Someone nearby mocked: "If you can think of that wooden fish head, a sow can climb a tree!"

"What did you say? Say it again!"

"Just say it..."

"I will kill you!"

Hua Mulan's face changed, and she slapped the table: "What do you want? Do you think the general's law enforcement team is just a display?"
