Despite the unit being outnumbered, Mulan can defeat the Huns by starting an avalanche and burying them by way of the last rocket in the army. Through the machinations of Mushu, the soldiers are called to the war front.Īfter finding that the Chinese Army, led by Shang's father General Li, has been completely destroyed by the Huns, Shang leads Mulan and the other soldiers to stop them. She also befriends Yao, Ling and Chien Po, three fellow soldiers, though she is forced to hide her gender.
Afterwards, she rapidly progresses to become one of the best soldiers in the unit. Though Mulan fails the army training at first, she uses her intelligence and becomes the first soldier to solve a puzzle set by Li Shang, her unit's commanding officer. On her way to the army camp, Mulan meets Mushu, a small red dragon who claims to be a guardian sent by her ancestors. Mulan decides to go in his place posing as a man, cutting her long hair with a sword, stealing her father's armor and riding away on her horse, Khan, so she will keep him from risking his life. Despite her protests, her father says that he will go in spite of his old age and old war wounds. Shortly after, the Chinese Emperor's counsellor, Chi-Fu, arrives in her village to announce that the deadly Huns, led by Shan Yu, have invaded China and that one man in every family must serve in the war. Mulan is forced to go to the town Matchmaker to find her a husband, which ends in humiliating failure. Mulan is the only child of Fa Zhou, a former war veteran, and Fa Li. She later lured Shan Yu into Mushu's firing range and when she pulled out her fan, she acted as though she was in shock from having nothing left to fight with, when all along she planned to disarm him with it. Knowing her unit was vastly outnumbered, she was able to quickly think of using the last cannon to cause an avalanche to wipe out the entire Hun army, quite literally stopping them cold. This is seen when she was first to climb a pole and retrieve an arrow embedded in the top successfully during her training.
