my wife is mulan

After Gao Jinzhi finished speaking, he got off his horse and took a few soldiers to reconnaissance. After an hour, he came back and said to Zhao Junsheng: "My lord, this pass was built to resist the cavalry, but it cannot stop the infantry attack. Within today, I can break through it!"

"Okay, organize soldiers to attack the city immediately!"

As expected, Gao Jinzhi didn't brag. He mobilized a lot of troops and carried a large number of ladders to rush to the wall. A large number of arrows and stones were shot down on the wall. At the beginning, many soldiers were lost, but after the siege The ladder was placed on the wall, and Gao Jinzhi sent a team of archers to cover under the wall.

After attacking three times in one day, the infantry of the dry army reached the pass wall, and the battle was over before dark.

The eyes of all the soldiers looking at Gao Jinzhi became different. Once it was a fluke, but twice it was not a fluke, but strength!

Chapter 699

"Your Majesty has an order, the whole army advances at full speed!" As the herald shouted, the order was relayed by the messengers one by one, and each army received the order one by one.

In order to solve the problem of the infantry marching quickly, some of the idle horses were used to carry the infantry. In order to open the passage to Wuchuan in the shortest time and reach Wuchuan to lift the siege, Zhao Junsheng had to order the army to march at the fastest speed.

Two days later, more than 6000 horses arrived in Jinling.

"Heading, the whole army is here to send a brief message!"

The soldiers were ordered to dismount one after another, and began to water and feed the horses, and took out dry food themselves.

Zhao Junsheng and some generals and school officials rode to the location where the Jinling camp was at the beginning. They were full of emotions for a while. It has been ten years since they passed by here when they went from Wuchuan to Pingcheng Miansheng, and then went to Youzhou to take up their posts.

The former Jinling Camp has become ruins. Since the Jinling Camp was abolished, even the wood used to build the camp here was removed by the nearby people for firewood.

"Go, go, go!" came a shout.

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look, and saw some cavalry cavalry driving a group of Wei troops over.

When these Wei army soldiers were driven not far in front of Zhao Junsheng, a general of the Qianjun Building rode over and reported: "My lord, these are the tomb guards of the Jinling of the Wei State. When our army arrived, they didn't run away. Guard the crossings on the mountain, worrying about our army on the mountain, a total of 120 or eight people, all of them were captured by the last general, please show me your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at the general and asked, "What's your name?"

"The last general Wei Quan!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "General Wei Quan, if someone wants to dig your ancestral grave, what will you do?"

Wei Quan instinctively stretched out his hand to hold the handle of the knife, and said viciously: "The end general will naturally go to fight him desperately... Uh, the end general knows his mistake!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand and said, "You're right, these tomb guards have weapons and there are quite a few of them, and they are indeed a threat to our army. You disarmed them to protect the safety of the army!

Wei Quan cupped his fists and bowed his head: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at the arrested guards and asked, "Who is the leader?"

A middle-aged man wearing worn-out armor and obviously malnourished clasped his fists and said, "Jinling Captain Duguyan has seen King Qian!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at the guards behind this person again, all of them seemed to be malnourished, and asked, "How long has Wei Ting not delivered supplies to you?"

Dugu Yan hesitated for a moment, and replied, "It's been a year!"

Zhao Junsheng calculated that a year ago happened to be the time when Tuoba Jun was forced to death by Bu Liuguli. I'm afraid that after Tuoba Jun's death, the Northern Wei court under Bu Liuguli would have forgotten the people like Jinling They don't send people to deliver supplies, no wonder these people are all sallow and emaciated.

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Untie them all!"

The soldiers stepped forward and cut the ropes that bound them with their swords, so that they were free again.

Zhao Junsheng pointed at Duguyan with a horsewhip and said: "From now on, your supplies will be borne by our country, and military pay will be paid every month! In addition, [-] mu of land around Jinling will be given to you to cultivate. All the food belongs to you, but you must start a family here and guard Jinling from generation to generation! Duguyan, I will seal you as the captain of Jinling, and order you to lead your group of people to guard Jinling. If someone tries to destroy or steal the mausoleum If the tomb is destroyed and the funerary objects are stolen, you will be dereliction of duty and you will be questioned, can you understand?"

Duguyan knew that at this time it was up to him whether he was willing or not, so he could only agree, so he led more than 100 people under his command to bow down and said: "Thank you, Duguyan!"

Zhao Junsheng remembered something and asked, "Do you know which direction Lai Daqian took his troops?"

Dugu Yan hesitated for a while, and replied: "The troops who came to Daqian were divided into two parts here. The large group went to Huaishuo Town, and the small group went to Nantianbao with a lot of siege equipment!"

What Zhao Junsheng was worried about happened. Lai Daqian indeed sent troops with siege equipment to help Rouran people attack Wuchuan City.

"Come here, give them a month's food first, and attribute their establishment to the garrison in the cloud!"

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he turned around and left, and the generals and school officials also left after him. The soldiers in custody returned the confiscated weapons to the guards of the imperial tomb, and other officials came forward to bring Dugu Yan Wait for someone to carry a month's worth of grain, allocate [-] mu of land nearby to the mausoleum guards, register and make a book, and tell them to go to the nearby garrison every month to collect supplies and military pay.

The army only rested for an hour in Jinling, and soon continued to advance to Nantianbao.

Although the marching speed was fast, the army still did not reach Nantian Fort before dark. Under Zhao Junsheng's order, the vanguard general Lan Yun led people to raid Nantian Fort overnight.

At that time, Nantian Fort was built by Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan. Zhao Junsheng was very clear about its defensive capabilities. Its defensive power mainly faced the north, and there were not many troops to garrison. If the defenders were unprepared, Attacking from behind is very likely to succeed.

Lan Yun was selected by Zhao Junsheng from a group of peasants to practice in the army under Nantian Fort back then. He was very familiar with the terrain around Nantian Fort and the structure of Nantian Fort.

In the middle of the night, Lan Yun sent someone from Nantianbao to send news that Nantianbao had been captured.

Zhao Junsheng thought about it after hearing the report, and ordered to the messenger: "Quickly send it back and tell Lan Yun to leave the necessary defenders in Nantian Castle, and then lead people to the north overnight, bypassing Shengle City to attack Baidao close!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng led the army to Nantian Fort, and it only took an hour. As soon as they arrived at Nantian Fort, Lan Yun sent someone back to report that the attack on Baidao Pass last night failed.

"Why did you fail?" Zhao Junsheng asked the messenger, but he was not surprised, nor did he doubt Lan Yun's ability, but since Lai Daqian sent someone to assist Rouran in attacking Wuchuan City, he would try every means to slow down the army. reinforce.

The messenger replied: "The original defenders stationed at Baidaoguan have surrendered to the troops from Daqian. When General Lan led us to attack, the soldiers stationed at Baidaoguan were the soldiers from Daqian. They were very vigilant. Our men just If you touch the wall, you will be discovered!"

Zhao Junsheng asked again: "Where's the defenders of Shengle City? They also surrendered the troops from Daqian?"

"That's not it!"

Dongfang Chen said next to him: "The people who came to Daqian probably want to rush to Wuchuan to join the Rouran people as soon as possible, and it is probably too late to take down Shengle City!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and gave an order to the herald: "Pass it down, the whole army will not stop at Nantian Fort, leave the customs and continue to move forward, and arrive at Shengle City before noon!"

"As ordered!"

After a morning of marching, before noon, the army arrived outside Shengle City. The gate of Shengle City was closed tightly. The defenders on the tower saw that there were more and more soldiers and horses coming from the south. Everyone panicked, if so many soldiers and horses attack the city, how can they hold it with more than a thousand people?

The city lord Tuoba He quickly ordered people to open the city gate and lead people out of the city to surrender.

Zhao Junsheng knew about this Tuobahe, he was an offshoot of the Tuoba clan in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he was ordered to guard the old capital Shengle.

"Tuobahe, let me ask you, when did the people who came to Daqian go north?"

Tuoba He replied cautiously: "It was two days ago!"

"They're pretty fast!" Zhao Junsheng muttered, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at Tuobahe and the more than a thousand people behind him, and asked, "Tuobahe, do you dare to go to Wuchuan City with Gu to kill Rou?" Ranren? If you are willing, Gu will treat you and other soldiers equally, but since you are with Gu, you can't be half-hearted!"

The Xianbei people and the Rouran people are old enemies, they have always regarded the Rouran people as stupid barbarians, every Xianbei person will be very excited about killing the Rouran people, and Tuobahe is the same, he clasped his fists and promised: "Why don't you dare? Since the subject surrenders, he will swear allegiance to the king to the death!"

"Very good, take your men and follow Gu!"

"As ordered!"
