There were a total of eight people in ambush, four on each side of the left and right, and Mulan was flanked on the left and right.

The situation was extremely unfavorable to Mulan, it could be said that she was attacked on her back and back, so she had to turn passive and immediately raise her sword and rush towards the four masked people on the left.

The two sides fought each other in short quarters, and Mulan knew that this was a life-and-death situation, and the other party's ambush here would inevitably kill her, so she was ruthless.

As soon as she made contact, Mulan took the lead and killed one of them with a knife, and all the masked people saw that she was fierce and formed a formation to fight against her.

Hua Mulan was shocked to see it, these masked people actually knew the method of military formation, this is undoubtedly a person in the army, the chill in her heart was great, and the killing intent was even stronger, and she immediately rushed forward with a sword, relying on her vigorous and flexible skills to constantly move and insert needles, and soon rushed into the other party to destroy the formation.

The masked people who lost their position were able to fight on their own, Hua Mulan raised her sword to hold the two scimitars that were cut and fought hard, swung her sword and slashed horizontally, killing three people with three swords in succession, and a puff of blood sprayed on her face, she didn't care about the smell of blood at this time, and quickly dodged to dodge the scimitars cut by the other masked people.

With a turn, Mulan opened the distance between herself and these masked people, raised her leg and kicked out, and a large puddle of thin mud on the ground flew towards the masked heads, these people instinctively raised their hands to block their faces, but they were bullied by Mulan, swinging a knife and killing three people one after another in a breath.

Only the last masked man remained, and this man looked at Mulan in horror, holding a scimitar and kept retreating, and Mulan shouted and pounced on it and slashed with his sword.

The masked man was shocked and hurriedly raised his knife to block, but was slashed on the scimitar by Mulan with great force, and the whole person was crushed to his knees and let out a miserable howl.

At this time, Mulan's long sword slashed at the opponent's collarbone, Mulan raised her leg and kicked the opponent's chest, the opponent's body was kicked out, and Mulan rushed forward with a brisk step, and the sword wiped out the opponent's carotid artery.

Hua Mulan held the sword and gasped violently, her eyes kept looking at the corpses on the ground, and she swept around the book trees on both sides, but she didn't find a horse to walk.

Without horses, there is no means of transportation, and this is a big trouble!

She walked to the woods and squatted down next to a piece of snow that had not yet melted, picked up the snow in her hand and rubbed it on her face to wash away the blood splashed on her face, and after washing it off, she got up and was about to turn around and return to the side of the road, but her eyes were attracted by the corpses of two people and four horses a few meters away.

When she got closer, she saw that the two bodies were the two messengers she had sent to contact Zhao Junsheng, and it turned out that they had not returned to the camp in time to report the news because they had been killed here a long time ago.

There was no time to bury the corpses of these two men, so Mulan could only pick up some dead branches and cover the corpses and turn back to the side of the road.

Looking at the two horses lying on the ground whose legs had been cut off but were still screaming, Mulan sighed, these two horses were no longer usable, in order to reduce their pain, Mulan had to give them a happy one to send them on the road.

Inserting the long sword that was still dripping blood into the scabbard, Hua Mulan took off the woolen blanket tied to the horse's back and the mink cloak wrapped in cloth and carried it on her back.

She picked up the longbow and a pot of arrows on her back, sharpened a branch with her sword to make a wooden staff, held it in her hand, and walked in the direction of Shanna County.

At some point, snowflakes suddenly fell in the sky again.

Zhao Junsheng looked up at the snowflakes that kept drifting in the sky, and his mood began to become heavy again, the road itself was muddy, which seriously slowed down the marching speed of the baggage team, and now it began to snow again, how can this be good?

Seeing that it was already dusk, they would soon set up camp for the night, and the soldiers and strong men were tired and exhausted, but the baggage team had only walked sixty miles that day, and if they wanted to reach Jinling successfully, they were afraid that it would take two more days.

His heart was like pressing a big stone, and Zhao Junsheng's face had not changed for a day today.

Pei Jin walked over and saluted Zhao Junsheng: "Captain, seeing that it is about to get dark, if you don't set up camp in time, it will be troublesome after dark, you see that the soldiers and strong men are too tired to walk, and it is snowing in the sky again, if you don't prepare for the cold, all the brothers will have to freeze to death tonight!" ”

What to do? In the end, we have to do this to transport the grain and grass to the Jinling camp in time?

At this time, a soldier not far away was indignant: "Damn, those rabbit cubs who stayed in the camp are just afraid that they are all eating hot dishes and hot meals at this time, but we are doing bitterness here haha!" ”

When Zhao Junsheng heard this, not only did he not get angry, but his eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered to shout: "Order all battalions to camp on the spot, and let the camp leaders send people to pick up some branches nearby to make a fire for the gangsters!" Guo Yi, go and call Gao Xiu! ”

The baggage team stopped, and the soldiers began to work under the assignment of the battalion leader.

Gao Xiu came over and hugged his fists and said, "Captain, are you looking for a subordinate?" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded and said: "Gao Xiu, we are only afraid that we will not be able to rush back to the Jinling camp within the specified time, if there is no grain and grass in the camp, we are afraid that something will happen, I have an extremely important task to you, you must go all out!" ”

"Captain, please!"

"That's right, there is still some food in the warehouse of our baggage camp, although it is not much, it should be able to make the soldiers of the garrison army eat twice, I want you to wait for dinner, and then ride a fast horse and rush back to the Jinling camp overnight to report our situation here to General Wan, and ask him to send someone to the baggage camp to get grain and grass for the soldiers to eat!" And tell General Wan that please rest assured that I will lead the team back to the Jinling camp within two days! It's dark and the road is far away, you must be cautious on the road, come to someone! ”

A personal soldier came over with a cloth bag and presented it with both hands, Zhao Junsheng took the cloth bag and handed it to Gao Xiu: "It's cold at night, ride a horse and put on this cloak!" ”

Gao Xiu took the cloth bag and opened a corner to look at it, and saw that it was a precious cloak, so he knew that this must be Zhao Junsheng's thing, and his heart was moved, so he put away the cloth bag and hugged his fists and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates will live up to the trust of the captain!" ”

After dinner, Gao Xiu was ready to go on the road, Zhao Junsheng asked his soldiers to lead two horses, and he patted Gao Xiu's shoulder: "Be careful!" ”

Gao Xiu hugged his fists, turned over his horse, whipped the horse and galloped away.

I don't know when, Wan Yutong, who was dressed as a man, walked to Zhao Junsheng's side, "It's freezing overnight and I sent someone back to report the news, is the shortage of food in Jinling very serious?" ”

Zhao Junsheng rubbed his face that was tingled by the cold wind, exhaled white breath and said, "You may not have experienced the days of freezing and starvation, and the taste is not pleasant." People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry! The lack of food in the army is the most serious incident, and if it is not good, there will be a mutiny. Before I led the team to set off, your grandfather said that the grain and grass in the army were less than ten days, and today is the eighth day, if I guessed correctly, the remaining grain and grass in the camp can only be used for one day at most, and we need two days to return to the Jinling camp at today's marching speed! ”

Wan Yutong didn't speak for a long time, she reached out to catch a falling snowflake, "If the snow doesn't stop tonight, we will only arrive in Jinling for more than two days!" ”

When Wan Yutong said this, Zhao Junsheng's mood became even heavier.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but look in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came from, and it didn't take long for him to see Gao Xiu walking quickly, "······ Gao Xiu, why are you back again? ”

"Captain, who do you think is behind his subordinates?" Gao Xiu stepped aside after speaking.

A person appeared behind Gao Xiu, Zhao Junsheng looked at it and exclaimed, "Mulan, why are you here?" Lao Lu, go get some hot water! ”
