Zhao Junsheng guessed wrong, Princess Tuzhen did not get the news that Dana was defeated, but she led the army to Dana's camp, she led the army to meet Dana, after all, Dana only had 5,000 people in his hands, and to control nearly 20,000 slaves to attack Nantian Fort, the pressure was relatively great, she led the army to converge to reduce the pressure on Dana, if she could break through Nantian Fort, it would be the best, and if she couldn't attack it, she could only temporarily retreat to Shengle City.

But what Princess Tuzhen didn't expect was that the messenger sent to report to Dana rushed back, saying that Dana's camp had been breached by the defenders of Nantianbao, and Dana's whereabouts were unknown, and his soldiers and horses suffered heavy casualties, most of them were captured, countless people were killed, and many people were missing.

On the way to the camp of Dana, Princess Tuzhen was shocked to hear the news, and she immediately left 3,000 men and horses to escort the baggage to continue on the road, and she first led more than 6,000 men and horses to the direction of the camp of the Rouran army as fast as possible.

Zhao Junsheng didn't expect Princess Tuzhen's men to come so quickly, he and Hua Mulan were organizing slaves and soldiers to transport the captured baggage to Nantian Fort, and only half of it was transported, and Princess Tuzhen led the cavalry to arrive.

"Quickly withdraw, quickly withdraw, all withdraw to Nantian Fort!" Zhao Junsheng saw that the sky was dusty in the distance in the west, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came, he knew that things were not good, and at this time, he didn't care about carrying the captured baggage, and immediately asked everyone to withdraw to Nantian Fort.

When the soldiers heard the order, they immediately carried it out and ran to the Nantian Fort, but the slaves were not very obedient, they had not eaten for many days, and they were reluctant to throw away the grain and jerky on their shoulders, as well as a large number of gathered livestock, cattle and horses.

"Rouran people are here, run, run, don't want it, don't want it, it's important to save your life!" Mulan shouted anxiously.

Zhao Junsheng saw the Rouran cavalry rushing over quickly, getting closer and closer, he grabbed Hua Mulan and went back, grabbed a war horse and threw Hua Mulan on it, and then flew on the horse and sat behind her, slamming it on the horse's buttocks, the war horse was in pain, and after a long neigh, he galloped in the direction of Nantianbao.

At this time, most of the soldiers had entered the city, and almost all of them were still evacuating, and the leather leopard on the city wall saw the Rouran cavalry rushing over, worried that the Rouran people would rush into the Nantian Fort, and immediately ordered: "Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly!" ”

But the guards at the city gate below didn't listen to him, and the leopard was very annoyed, and rushed to Gao Xu and shouted: "General Ben asked you to order the city gate to be closed, didn't you hear?" Want to disobey military orders but can't do it? ”

Gao Xu said coldly: "I'm sorry general, Zhao Dutong and General Hua have not returned yet, so they won't close the city gate!" ”

"Who knows where they went, what if they didn't close the city gates at this time, what if they let the Rouran cavalry rush in?" The leather leopard grabbed Gao Xu's armor and yelled.

Gao Xu hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, general, the Rouran cavalry is still far from here!" ”

The leopard was very angry and annoyed, and said angrily: "You actually disobeyed the military order, believe it or not, Ben will behead you? ”

"General, Gao is not a subordinate of the general, according to the regulations, you cannot directly order the lowly position, and the lowly position does not need to obey the general's orders!"

The leopard was so angry that he couldn't speak, and pointed at Gao Xu: "Okay, it's very good!" ”

At this time, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan had already ridden their horses and galloped towards the hillside, and the slaves who were blocking in front were knocked out of the way, Zhao Junsheng had already taken a lot of care, even if he killed people, the Rouran cavalry was closely behind, if he did not enter Nantian Fort in time, he and Hua Mulan were likely to be caught by Tuzhen.

He clearly knew that this woman was very vicious, and once she caught her, it would definitely be worse than death.

Before rushing into Nantian Castle, Zhao Junsheng didn't know how many slaves he had knocked away, in short, he forcibly knocked a passage into Nantian Fort from among the black-pressed slaves.

"Close the door!" Gao Xu saw Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan riding into the city and immediately ordered the city gate to be closed.

The bolt that stuck the hinges was pulled out, and the jack gate fell with a bang, regardless of whether anyone was stoned to death in the city gate, this jack gate kept tens of thousands of slaves out of the city wall.

The Rouran cavalry rushed directly to the foot of the mountain under the leadership of Princess Tuzhen, and a large number of slaves scattered and fled, but the Rouran cavalry kept shooting with arrows, slashing with scimitars, and some were stabbed to death with spears.

Zhao Junsheng rushed up the city wall and saw that the Rouran cavalry was slaughtering at the foot of the mountain, only the slaves on the hillside and under the city gate were safe for the time being, so he immediately ordered: "Those who have bows and arrows, all of them will shoot the Rouran people!" ”

A group of Rouran cavalry who tried to rush up the hillside to attack the slaves were hit by an overwhelming array of arrows on the city walls and fortresses, and after being shot and killed dozens of people, they quickly withdrew, and the slaves who hid on the hillside and under the city gate saved their lives, but the slaves who were still at the foot of the mountain were not so lucky, they were brutally slaughtered by the Rouran people.

Some slaves knew that death was inevitable, so they gave up escaping, turned around and rushed towards the Rouran cavalry, some were killed in the resistance, and some threw the Rouran cavalry to the ground and tore them, holding the idea of pulling a cushion to die with the Rouran people.

The slaves who remained in the camp knew that they could not run, so they picked up the weapons on the ground and fought with the Rouran, but this move angered the Rouran even more, and they used the mobility of the cavalry to shoot and shoot arrows, or rush up and use the speed of the war horse to slash and sprint.

For a whole morning, the fierce cavalry under the command of Princess Tuzhen slaughtered all the slaves under the mountain, and there was not a single slave left, and the slaves who hid under the city gate and on the hillside survived, and when the city gate was opened, they rushed to the city gate, and soon passed through the city gate to find a safe place to live.

As soon as the city gate was closed, Princess Tuzhen rushed to the foot of the mountain with the Rouran cavalry, who had just slaughtered a large number of slaves, but was repelled by a rain of arrows from the city walls.

The Rouran cavalry retreated beyond the range of bows and arrows, and Princess Tuzhen looked up at the mound at the foot of the mountain, and said in her heart that Da Na still used her heart, seeing that this high platform was built both tall and strong, in order to break through the Nantian Fort, Da Na was also racking her brains.

She groaned slightly, and galloped towards the mound with her spear in hand, and several of her attendants immediately followed closely behind him.

Princess Tuzhen rode her horse to the top of the high platform and shouted loudly: "Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan come out to answer!" ”

The leather leopard said in a loud voice: "This general is the highest-ranking military general in Nantianbao, who is your Excellency?" I have something to say to Ben! ”

"Who is the Leather Leopard? Princess Ben hasn't heard of it, let Zhao Junsheng and Mulan come out! ”

Princess Tuzhen's words made the leopard's face turn blue and red.

Zhao Junsheng removed Mulan's robe and whispered, "You tell Princess Tuzhen that you women are easy to talk to!" ”

"Is it okay for people to dress up as men now?" Hua Mulan muttered in her heart, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhao Junsheng, she took a deep breath and responded loudly: "I am Mulan, the guard of Nantian Fort, appointed by the Jinling Battalion, the princess killed so many innocent people just now, aren't you afraid that the heavens will wrath and bring disaster?" ”

Princess Tuzhen said loudly: "No one in this world is innocent, and the warriors of the steppe are destined to go south to plunder and kill!" This princess thought that she was going to gnaw a piece of meat on Wei Guo this time, but she didn't expect to be pulled back by you in the end! Today, this princess is here, Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, the grievances between us are not over, and sooner or later this princess will have to get back the humiliation you gave to this princess last time! I hope that the next time we meet again, you will already be a general of the town, otherwise your official status is too low, and you are not qualified to be the opponent of this princess, even if you have the heart to oppose this princess, you will not be able to be the master! Isn't this confrontation too boring? ”

With that, Princess Tuzhen turned around and galloped downward, and when she rushed to the top platform, she waved to all the Rouran cavalry: "Withdraw the army!" ”

Princess Tuzhen left with the Rouran cavalry, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan.

Hua Mulan was not convinced, she really wanted to compete with Princess Tuzhen, but as Princess Tuzhen said, her and Zhao Junsheng's status and official positions were too low, in terms of official positions, those who were qualified to be Princess Tuzhen's opponents must at least be generals of one side, and only generals could make their own decisions and fight with Princess Tuzhen without asking the emperor and the court for instructions.

In the afternoon of the same day, Pi Leopard returned to the Jinling camp with a few of his own soldiers and his subordinate general Sugan Moyun, accompanied by more than 200 wounded soldiers, and Zhao Junsheng also sent 1,000 people to escort the Rouran captives to Jinling together.

More than 3,000 troops and horses in Huaishuo Town suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the establishment was basically abolished, and there were less than 500 wounded soldiers, and more than 200 people who could fight were in Nantianbao.

The leopard must immediately rush back to the Jinling camp to report to the superintendent Gu Bi about the actual situation of the Huaishuo army and the victory of the defenders of Nantianbao against the Rouran Marshal Dana, and also apply to the imperial court to rebuild the Huaishuo town garrison with the existing men.

Two days later, Gao Xiu, who was escorted to captivity, was brought back to Nantianbao from the Jinling camp.

Zhao Junsheng was organizing soldiers to maintain order in the slave camp at this time, of course, these slaves were no longer slaves, but free people, but it was also a big trouble for these people to stay here in Nantian Fort and not leave, Zhao Junsheng also waited for Princess Tuzhen to take people away, and then sent people out of the customs to collect the grain and grass left by the Rouran people to barely feed these people, but it was not a long-term solution to go on like this.

More than 10,000 people, plus nearly 5,000 defenders of Nantian Fort, so many people need to be solved by Zhao Junsheng to eat, he has really been sad in the past two days, always thinking about where to pick out some food.

"Dutong, Lord Jinling's latest military order has arrived!" Gao Xiu walked quickly to Zhao Junsheng's side and hugged his fist to report.

"Oh?" Zhao Junsheng turned around, "Shouldn't you show it to Mulan first?" How did you get it to Pontus? ”

Gao Xiu looked left and right, worried that there would be too many people, so he stepped forward and whispered a few words in Zhao Junsheng's ear.

"What?" Zhao Junsheng's face changed, he snatched the official document from Gao Xiu's hand and quickly opened it and looked at it, after he finished reading it, he turned around and walked to his tooth tent with a gloomy face.

After entering the tooth tent, Zhao Junsheng couldn't hold back any longer, and jumped to his feet and scolded: "The villain who has no promise, the villain!" If you want to throw this mess at me, no way! I want Lao Tzu to give them my life, and I don't give them money or food, so they can figure it out! ”

At this time, Mulan's voice came from outside the door: "Brother Junsheng, what's wrong with you?" Why do you have such a big temper? ”
