"Back to the big handsome, there seem to be a lot more defenders on the city wall!" Rou Ranbing, who reported the news, said again.

Hearing this, Dana dropped the meat cutting knife, took a hand towel and wiped his hands, got up and walked out quickly.

It didn't take long for Da Na to gallop towards the Nantian Fort with a large number of horses, and he stopped at the bottom of the mountain to look up in the direction of the Nantian Fort, and sure enough, he found that the city wall was crowded with people, and the number of troops was obviously much more than during the day yesterday.

"Looks like reinforcements are coming!" Da Na said with a frown.

A senior general next to him asked Dana: "Dashuai, when the sons and daughters finish eating, will they attack Nantianbao as usual?" ”

Dana thought for a moment, raised his hand and said, "No! Immediately release the Flying Eagle to report the situation of Nantian Fort to Princess Tuzhen, whether to continue to attack Nantian Fort or not, everything is waiting for the news from Tuzhen's side! ”

"Yes, Dashuai!"

On the side of Nantian Fort, Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and the defenders had made sufficient preparations to meet the attack of the Rouran army, but they waited left and right, and never saw the Rouran army attacking.

"It's really strange today, why didn't the Rouran people attack?" Mulan looked up at the sun and said it with a frown, she felt that something was wrong.

Zhao Junsheng smiled and said, "Isn't it good for us to not attack?" It can allow the soldiers to rest more. Do you still want the Rouran people to attack? ”

Hua Mulan said: "No, I didn't mean that, I'm worried that the Rouran people have some conspiracy, if we don't notice it, wouldn't it be a loss?" ”

"I asked you to hang your general flag, the strength of the city has increased, and General Rouran is estimated to have discovered this, and it is normal that they did not attack immediately!"

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the camp under the hillside behind him, many soldiers in his camp were lying on the grass basking in the sun, and said to Mulan: "Since the Rouran people don't come to attack, we can't let the soldiers be idle, except for the wounded soldiers, men, and horsemen, let all the idle soldiers go to cut down trees and collect stones, and collect more materials and equipment to defend the city!" ”

Hua Mulan actually had this idea before, but she was worried that the Rouran people would attack at any time, and 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 listened to Zhao Junsheng's proposal, she no longer cared about these and immediately gave an order.

When the lords received the order, they had to gather all the idle soldiers to gather stone and cut wood.

An hour later, an eagle flew over a valley thirty miles north of Da'e Mountain, more than two hundred miles west of Nantianbao, and more than five hundred white tents were erected in the valley, and a soft little handsome man came out of the middle of the tent.

The eagle circled in the sky, spread its wings and descended, landing on Rou Ran Xiaoshuai's arm, and the wind from its wings lifted up the dust on the ground.

Xiaoshuang supported the weight of the eagle with his arms, and with his left hand, he took out a roll of paper from the small tube tied to the eagle's feet and walked into the tent.

"Princess, that big handsome man has a flying eagle to send a message!" Xiao Shuai walked into the tent and reported to Princess Tuzhen, who was sitting in the tent reading a book.

Princess Tuzhen was half-lying on a soft couch, wearing a round felt hat inlaid with precious stones, three colorful bird feathers on the top of the hat, a brocade robe with exquisite patterns, and small pointed boots on her feet.

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

A chamberlain next to him took the paper roll and put it in Princess Tuzhen's hand, and Princess Tuzhen put down the book and opened the small paper scroll.

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

A herald ran out of the tent, took out a horn and put it to his mouth, puffed out his cheeks, and blew violently: "Woo-woo-woo-"

The Rouran soldiers in the various tents hung their scimitars at their waists, took off their bows and arrows and carried them behind their backs, and ran in the direction of the stables with their saddles, stirrups and quivers.

Others began to dismantle the tents when they were empty, rolled them up, and brought them to the horses.

It didn't take long for the Rouran cavalry to gather in the open space on horseback, and all the 5,000 men and horses were soon gathered.

Princess Tuzhen walked out of the camp in leather armor and a leather helmet with a gem-studded scimitar around her waist, and a slave immediately knelt down beside the horse and built a bench with the back of her body.

Princess Tochin stepped on the back of the slave and stepped on the horse, and the other servant handed over a spear with both hands, she took the spear, and galloped away in front of the army with her legs between the belly of the horse, and the servants mounted their horses and followed.

"Ritsu-" Princess Tuzhen stopped in front of the army, and the horse neighed, and the horse stood upright, its front hooves raised high, and then fell.

"Sons, are you ready to break through Da'e Mountain, take the Jinling camp, destroy the mausoleum of the Xianbei people, eat meat, drink wine and play with women?"

All the Rouran warriors raised their scimitars and spears and shouted, "Oh, oh, oh······"

"Pull out the camp and go!"

With the coquettish shout of Princess Tuzhen, a group of Rouran cavalry quickly left the valley, and behind behind were some Rouran soldiers who mounted a siege ladder on a board cart to drive the horses to pull the cart and hang behind the large group of cavalry, and the last to go out of the valley were some herdsmen, who drove a large herd of cattle, sheep and horses to advance unhurriedly along the sound of horses' hooves and dung left by the Rouran cavalry.

In less than an hour, Princess Tuzhen appeared at the foot of the north side of Da'e Mountain with five thousand Rouran iron horses.

Da'e Mountain was suddenly in chaos, and the soldiers of the fortress walls panicked and scurried everywhere.

Su Buret climbed the city wall with a solemn face and looked down the mountain, the dense Rouran cavalry was gathering, and a large number of carts pulling siege ladders were coming from behind.

"Quick, send fast horses to report to the Jinling camp that the Rouran army is attacking again, the number is about 5,000, and the leader of the troops is a female general!"

"Yes!"

Subreel took a deep breath and turned to the defenders on the city wall and shouted, "Don't panic, bring up the wood, stones, and arrows, set up an iron pot to boil water, and prepare for defense!" ”

When the soldiers heard Su Burye's clear order, their hearts were a little calmer, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and Su Burlie only had more than 200 people in his hands, and there were more than 100 wounded soldiers, and they didn't know how long they could hold out.

Princess Tuzhen saw the defenders busy on the city wall, and she sneered: "Is it too late to hold Buddha's feet temporarily?" After saying that, he beckoned.

A general came over to stroke his chest: "Princess! ”

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

"Back to the princess, you can start at any time!"

"Then let's start, when the sun is in the middle of the day, this princess will overlook the beautiful rivers and mountains of Wei on the fortress wall of Da'e Mountain Fort!"

"Command!" General Rouran stroked his chest and agreed, raised his hand and waved forward, and roared: "The first building, the second building will attack, and the third and fourth buildings will be prepared!" ”

The two phalanxes of Rouran soldiers had already been prepared, and the equipment of these Rouran soldiers was slightly different from that of the other Rouran soldiers, who were all wearing iron armor and helmets, holding leather shields in one hand and scimitars in the other.

"Kill—"

The Rouran soldiers roared and rushed forward, especially some of the Rouran soldiers carrying wooden ladders, they carried the wooden ladder on their shoulders, holding on to it with one hand, blocking them with leather shields in the other, and the other Rouran soldiers followed behind them.

These Rouran soldiers used for siege were obviously specially trained, and the iron armor and iron helmets on their bodies were also specially prepared.

"Shoot the arrows—" Subret yelled.

The sparse array of arrows from the walls shot down the hillside, and only a few of the Rouran soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, most of them missing or hitting their shields and iron armor.

At a very small cost, the Rouran people rushed up the hill and under the city walls.

A siege ladder was erected on the city wall, and some people were pushed down as soon as they climbed up, killing and injuring many people, but the people behind immediately lifted the siege ladder and erected it on the city wall, and several people held it down.

There were no arrows on the city wall, and Su Bulie relaxed his carelessness, and at this time, there were no weapons on the city wall except for arrows, and the defenders could only shoot the Rouran soldiers with arrows.

But these Rouran soldiers are well prepared, their iron armor will not be easily shot through, they still have shields, and they are numerous.

The siege ladder is not easy to stabilize, and it can be easily knocked down, which makes the Rouran people suffer a lot of losses.

Princess Tuzhen saw it clearly at the bottom of the mountain, and she waved her hand: "Send a hundred people with excellent archery skills to follow and shoot the other party's spearmen!" ”

"Yes, princess!"

With the addition of the Rouran archers, the spearmen on the city wall did not pay attention to protecting themselves, they were hit by arrows one after another, the casualties became larger and larger, and the manpower used to knock down the siege ladder became less and less, and finally the Rouran soldiers climbed the city wall.

The defenders panicked, and as more and more Rouran soldiers climbed the walls, the fierce battle for the city began.

An hour later, the sun was just in the middle of the day, and the city was already occupied by the Rouran soldiers, and the smoke was billowing from all over the city wall, and the guard general Su Bulie was killed by more than a dozen stabs in his body.

Princess Tuzhen held a silk handkerchief and covered her nose to cover the bloody breath and walked up to the head of Da'e Mountain, and a group of Rouran soldiers were riding horses through the gate of the pass and entering the fortress.

Standing on the city wall and looking at the beautiful landscapes and countryside in the south, Princess Tuzhen looked extremely intoxicated, and her face showed a look of yearning.

At this time, a general came over and bent down to caress his chest and reported: "Princess, do you want the sons and daughters to rest in the castle?" ”

Tuzhen's face gradually turned cold: "Feed the horses, set off in two moments, and let the sons and daughters eat on horseback!" Either we don't fight, or if we do, we will be as fast as lightning, so that the Wei people will be caught off guard! ”

The general hesitated, "Are you heading for the Jinling camp?" ”

A playful smile suddenly appeared on Princess Tuzhen's face: "General Wei of the Jinling camp must have thought that this princess would kill her, but this princess didn't!" The order went down, and the whole army advanced at full speed towards Tunqi Mountain! ”
