Chapter 355: Wait for the killer

Aunt City, city tower.

Mulan held the city wall and looked ahead, and behind her was a general who was reporting respectfully: "I just received a report from the scout, and there was bad news. The troops we were preparing to intercept the Chu army were attacked by a night attack by the Vietnamese army, and now it seems that the entire army has been wiped out..."

Mulan frowned and said, "I have already asked them to pay attention to the enemy's attack. Why are they so lazy?"

The general sighed: "It was late at night when they arrived at the camping site, and there was heavy rain at that time. Who would have thought that the other party had already calculated that they would camp there and ambush in advance?"

Mulan sighed: "This Prince Yue is boundless, it is indeed not simple."

The general said: "We have been hit so hard before we open yet. What should we do next?"

Mulan said lightly: "Since our plan to block the Chu army has failed, the Vietnamese army naturally does not need to continue to meet the Chu army. Then they will definitely come to our uncle and want to take advantage of our troops to take advantage of the situation. If their Zhuji..."

Before Mulan finished speaking, she saw a messenger coming quickly and half-kneeled and said, "Report to General Hua, our whistleblower has discovered the traces of the cavalry, a total of about 4,000 cavalry are coming to Gushu City. Please ask General Hua to decide!"

Mulan frowned slightly and said, "Something is wrong."

The general said, "The cavalry is not conducive to attacking the city. Do they have any other tricks?"

Mulan nodded and said, "Wujiang doesn't understand the art of military affairs. He must have his intention to do this, but he must have obtained the fact that our army has another unit attacked Zhuji. Since he has not returned to the rescue, the Chu army must have solved the problem. Wujiang no longer has other troops available. What kind of killer weapons does he have?"

The general sighed, "The last general is still confused."

Mulan pondered for a moment and said, "I asked you to carefully check the passers-by these days. Can you make sure that you never sneak into the city?"

The general hurriedly said, "I am willing to guarantee my life!"

Mulan sighed: "If this is the case, I really can't think of any other means of Luoqi, but since he dares to attack the city, he must have some support. If he cannot find out what kind of killer he has, we will definitely be passive in this battle!"

The general said, "Maybe he is already exhausted, just pretending to be mysterious?"

Mulan shook her head slightly: "Whether it was his first encounter with Xue Andu or the diplomatic strategy he adopted to anger me later, they were all feminine and ruthless. He was definitely not a person who would play such a rough trick."

The general sighed, "Then how should we deal with it?"

Mulan said: "There is only one thing we can do now, that is, wait quietly."

The general was stunned and said, "Wait?"

Mulan nodded and said, "Wait until he uses his trump card."

The general sighed slightly and stopped talking.

Although Mulan did not say it explicitly, he already realized the problem. Since the battle with Yue Kingdom began, they have been in a passive stage of being beaten. They clearly have an absolute advantage in military strength, but they are always played with and applauded by the other party in terms of strategy.

The Prince Yue, named Wujiang, is simply a poisonous snake.

Mulan stood at the top of the city with her swordsels, still looking ahead, and then she saw a scattered smoke and dust spreading from afar, obviously the enemy cavalry was about to arrive.

Mulan stretched out her right hand and held the spear tightly.

At this moment, a messenger suddenly rushed up to the city tower and half-kneeled on the ground and panted: "Report to General Hua, there is a riot in Ximen!"

Mulan raised her eyebrows and said, "How many people are there?"

The messenger said, "We have no time to count, but at least two thousand!"

Mulan turned around and looked at the general, her eyes full of anger: "Didn't you just promised that there was absolutely no one who entered the city?"

The general couldn't help but say: "I..."

Mulan stared at him and said coldly: "Where did these two thousand people come from? Did they fall from the sky?"

The general fell to his knees and said dejectedly: "...I will be aware of the crime."

Mulan bit her cherry lips and was about to continue to scold her, but suddenly frowned and said, "No, this matter is not right at all."

The general was stunned and looked up and said, "What does the general mean..."

Hua Mulan said: "Even if the Yue army is added to the Chu army, its strength is far inferior to our army. Now we have divided our troops to attack us at night and then attacked Gushu City. The Chu army wants to return to Zhuji, which is their defense. At the same time, Zhuji itself should have a pre-emptive defense. Their strength should be more difficult than us. Where did these two thousand troops come from?"

The general thought about it and nodded, "And the general really couldn't understand how these two thousand men and horses were involved in the city!"

Mulan sighed: "I'm afraid that only Wujiang knows the clues of this matter, but we have no time to consider the whole story at this moment. The most urgent task now is to guard the city gate and definitely not let them let the enemy enter the city. Once the four thousand cavalry break into the city, we will definitely lose if we meet those two thousand horses!"

The general said, "But our troops are almost all sent out, and the city has only a shortage of 5,000 troops. If we want to resist the riot at the North Gate, we may still..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mulan and said, "There are no need to leave any other city gates, just use the flags to pretend. Since they have already agreed to break through from the North Gate, they will definitely have no time to worry about other city gates. As long as we block the North Gate, we will have a chance."

The general clasped his fists and said, "The last general will take the order!"

On the road outside the city gate, the cavalry led by Roche was still galloping.

Huang Yueying rode a horse and followed Roqi. She frowned slightly and said in confusion: "Why did you conclude that the North Gate would definitely open?"

Roqi smiled and said, "Because there are still two thousand of my men in the city."

Huang Yueying was slightly stunned and said, "Our troops are so short, where did your two thousand men come from?"

Luo Qi smiled and said, "I was not idle during the period when Mulan was recuperating. You should know that the Wu Kingdom had just been annexed by the Northern Wei Dynasty. The people in the territory must have had the desire to resist, but they were just afraid of their military power..."

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "So you are trying to provoke it?"

Luo Qi nodded and said, "There is a very huge tin mine in the xi mountain of Wuguo. Have you heard of this?"

Huang Yueying said: "I hope to hear the details."

Luo Qi smiled and said, "Tin is the most important material for mixed bronze, so the Northern Wei Dynasty attached great importance to mining. There were thousands of death row prisoners and slaves in the tin mountain. Because the Northern Wei Dynasty was worried that they would rebel, they not only did not let them eat enough, but also often abused them..."

Huang Yueying smiled and said, "So as long as they instigate, they will listen to you?"

Outside Gushu City, in the cavalry formation.

Luo Qi nodded and said, "What you do is the hardest and most tiring job on Xishan. Those who can survive must be strong and strong men. As long as they have a weapon in their hands, they will definitely be able to exert their outstanding combat power."
