Chapter 6 Mulan
On the third day, the junior blacksmith shop and junior clinic were successfully completed, and the blacksmiths and doctors in the village had a place to work. Some villagers were already seeing a doctor in the clinic.
Zhang Hua announced that the reclaimed farmland belongs to Xia Village, and the land is allocated by households. The more laborers the farmers have more farmland, and land transactions are strictly prohibited.
The soldiers of the Song Dynasty who settled in Xia Village became professional soldiers and had no land, but Zhang Hua paid military salaries every month and were exempt from taxes.
"Mr. Village Chief, the woman you saved has woken up."
A female doctor from the clinic found Zhang Hua.
The one who held Zhang Hua hostage last night was not a Green Forest hero, but a female general.
Zhang Hua returned to the village chief's wooden house, and a woman who had changed into a coarse cloth looked around the threshold, a little confused.
A trace of blood was still oozing out of the common man, which showed the serious injury.
Even though she was wearing a cloth clothes, she still couldn't stop the woman's appearance. Three thousand black hairs were scattered behind her, and she used a white strip of cloth to wrap her slender waist, making her skin as white as snow.
However, there was a faint sense of murderous aura.
"I am the village chief of this village. I was the one you held hostage last night. What's your name?"
Zhang Hua was quietly held hostage by the other party last night, knowing that the other party was not an ordinary refugee.
Before Zhang Hua changed into a coarse cloth, the woman was wearing damaged armor, so she was at least a high-level army.
The refugees entering Xia Village may have come from any dynasty.
The woman hesitated for a while, and saw that Zhang Hua saved her life, she arranged for the doctor to heal her wounds and answered seriously: "Mulan, a soldier in Wuchuan Town."
Wuchuan Town? Mulan?
Zhang Hua thought hard and was shocked.
During the Northern Wei Dynasty, six military towns, Woye, Huaishuo, Wuchuan, Fuming, Rouxuan and Huaihuang were set up on the northern border to resist the Rouran cavalry that rose on the Mongolian Plateau.
In the Northern Wei Dynasty, Mulan was also a female soldier, so Mulan was the only one who dressed as a woman and joined the army for her father.
"Then why were you injured?"
"The Rourans attacked Wuchuan Town, and I and the soldiers resisted the Rourans. They came here for no reason and were chased by the Rouran cavalry again."
"You mean there are Rouran people near the valley? How many people are there?"
"There are about 170 people, 40 of them were killed by me, and there are about 130 people left. I never expected that after I came here, my strength seemed to have increased a lot. I would never be able to kill 40 Rouran cavalry. Rouran grew up on horseback since childhood, and was proficient in bows and cavalry, and was the enemy of our Wuchuan Town."
Mulan clenched her fists and found that her strength had increased significantly after traveling to this world.
If it was in normal ancient times, if one person killed 40 Rouran cavalry and could escape, this kind of record was simply terrifying.
“130 Rouran Cavalry…”
Zhang Hua's scalp was numb.
When the Rouran cavalry crossed over, their strength would definitely increase.
At present, Xia Village may not be able to block 130 Rouran cavalry.
The number of Rouran cavalry is 10 times that of the Song army in Xiacun.
The village heroes in Xia Village were like flocks of sheep in front of the fierce Rouran cavalry.
The only advantage of Xia Village is Liao Hua, the general who settled in Xia Village, and Mulan.
Both of these people were injured at this time and could not exert their full strength.
Mulan's eyes were firm and she bit her thin lips: "Don't worry, I won't implicate you. I will ride a horse to lead the Rouran cavalry away."
"Wait a moment, our Xia Village will not be saved by death. You are a Han girl, and the other party is a nomadic cavalry, so you must be saved. Although the number of people in our Xia Village is small, there are not just a hundred Rouran cavalry that can be bullied!"
Zhang Hua weighed the gains and losses in his heart, and finally decided to take Mulan in.
Liao Hua could fight dozens of Eight Banners cavalry alone, and Mulan also killed dozens of Rouran cavalry.
There are also Song army teams and Township Warrior teams in Xia Village. If you build some traps or resist horses, you may not be afraid of this Rouran cavalry.
Mulan looked surprised: "Are you sure you want to take the risk?"
"As long as you recover from your injury, you can stay in Xia Village. I am not threatening you with kindness, but you don't have a better place to go."
"I promise you."
Mulan was also considering it, but in the end she stayed because of kindness.
This place is no longer the Northern Wei Dynasty, nor does it have a Wuchuan Town, so Mulan has no other place to go.
"You will recover from your injuries for the time being. I will ask someone to build a wooden fence around the village."
Zhang Hua and a group of villagers began to build wooden fences to fence the main part of the village, especially protecting the warehouse and granary.
Mulan was moved when she saw Zhang Hua and the villagers sweating profusely, just to protect the country and the people in troubled times.
When Mulan settles in Xia Village, Zhang Hua can see the attributes of the heroes who settled in.
【Hero】: Mulan
[Commander]: 72 [Military power]: 77 [Intellect]: 75 [Politics]: 12
【Health volume】: 31/165
【Attack】: 25~32
【Defense】: 5
【Agility】: 10
[Awakening Talent]: Learning (having strong learning ability, improving basic attributes through continuous battles)
[Can be recruited]: Northern Wei Iron Eagle Scout (In order to deal with the special light cavalry built by the Rouran cavalry, the six towns of the Northern Wei can use eagles for reconnaissance)
[Source]: A folk legendary figure who joined the army for his father during the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Mulan’s awakening talent is definitely one of the god’s talents.
Although Mulan has low basic abilities, as long as she has this divine talent to "learn", Mulan can continue to grow.
Liao Hua's talent is "becoming stronger when he is old", which is somewhat similar to Mulan's "learning", and the mechanism is that the older he is, the stronger he is.
As long as the generals in front are killed, Liao Hua is one of the strongest generals.
When Mulan goes through the war, then Mulan's various attributes will rise.
It seems quite cost-effective to take in Mulan at the risk of Rouran's cavalry destroying the village.
The wooden fence is the simplest fortification that can prevent light cavalry from pushing the village flat.
Hunters in Xia Village set up dozens of hunting traps at the entrance of the village, that is, digging deep pits and laying sharpened branches on the bottom of the pit.
Above the hunting traps, lay weeds or dirt for camouflage.
Once the cavalry step on the hunting trap, they will be pierced by sharp wooden stakes at the bottom of the pit.
To be on the safe side, Zhang Hua buried a tripping rope at the entrance of the village.
"There is a Rouran cavalry outside the village. All villagers must be careful. Once they hear the sound of gongs, they must hide in the village immediately."
Zhang Hua summoned the villagers of Xia Village to remind them to beware of the Rouran cavalry that could appear at any time.
The villagers heard that there were nomadic cavalry outside the village, and they were in a panic.
Currently, the villagers of Xia Village mainly came from the Ming and Song dynasties. They were deeply harmed by the Eight Banners Cavalry and Jurchen cavalry, and were quite afraid of the cavalry outside the pass.
Even the Song army squad that settled in Xia Village was afraid of the Rouran Cavalry.
There were only Zhang Hua, Liao Hua and Mulan present, not afraid at all.
"Brothers, we will fight with the nomadic cavalry again. Xiacun is the place where we live. This time, we cannot lose face as the Song people!"
Wang Er, the captain of the Song army, inspired twelve other Song Dynasty soldiers.
The Song Dynasty was attacked by the Khitan, Jurchen and Mongolia one after another, and the land was constantly lost. Compared with the unified dynasty, it was too cowardly.
