Chapter 98: Clues

It's going to dusk.

Night creatures that had been hiding underground for a whole day have emerged from their nests and started preparations before night hunting.

At the entrance of the northern foot of Qingniu Mountain, a loud neighing sound suddenly sounded from the lonely valley, and then a horse galloped out of the mountain pass. The next moment, the rumbling sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the world, and a large group of cavalry surged out like a tide.

Of course, this cavalry is the barbarian cavalry under Meng Hu.

After a sudden whim made the barbarians become cavalry and archers, Meng Hu left Qi Diaozi in the mountains to preside over the training of the strong men, and asked Dunzi, Leopard and Tiger Regiment to stay to assist Qi Diaozi, and he led more than 3,600 barbarians down the mountain to find the bad luck of the Mingyue Empire Army.

The southern foothill pass was blocked by the Second Division of Yan Changkong and could not get out, so Meng Hu could only go to the northern foothill pass.

Of course, Meng Hu would not be stupid enough to directly attack Mingyue Camp outside Xiling City. He just wanted to cause some trouble for Situ Rui.

Meng Hu was looking for grain transport teams scattered in Sanjiang, Xiling and Hedong prefectures. In fact, from the beginning, Meng Hu's target was the grain transport teams of the Mingyue Empire Army. Unfortunately, it was not good to go out. The first move fell into Situ Rui's plan. More than 10,000 cavalrymen were lost, and the remaining defeated generals hid in Qingniu Mountain and licked the wounds. They did not recover until today.

Meng Hu went down the mountain this time, one wanted to try the power of the barbarian riding and shooting, and the other was to seek revenge on Situ Rui.

Meng Hu has never been a person who is willing to suffer losses. When someone punches him, he must give him a kick. When someone gives him a foot, he must respect him one foot. This guy has this personality! Last time he suffered a defeat, he gave Situ Rui a ruthless move that night, but Meng Hu thought this was not enough, and he still remembered this hatred.

This time, Meng Hu was so excited that he wanted to give Situ Rui some color, but the result disappointed him.

From the day of going down the mountain to the darkness of the fourth day, Meng Hu took more than 3,600 barbarians and rode on the plain outside Xiling City for nearly three days and nights, wandering from the northern foot of Qingniu Mountain to fifty miles east of Xiling City, with a journey of more than 300 miles. He did not encounter a grain transport team from the Mingyue Empire Army in the middle.

Seeing that it was getting dark again, I was afraid that I would have gained nothing on this day. At this time, Meng Hu's depression could no longer be described in words. The situation was like a punch and hit it out, but it hit the cotton. The feeling of being unsuccessful can really make people crazy.

Xiong Batian rode his horse close to Meng Hu and said in a muffled voice: "Big leader, there is a small river in front of him. Why don't you camp by the river tonight?"

Meng Hu nodded indefinitely and let the dark clouds under his crotch go forward by himself.

Dark Yun Gaixue ran all day and was already thirsty. He smelled the fragrance of the river from afar and ran to the riverside. Unfortunately, the river had frozen. Dark Yun Gaixue's horse's head was sniffed on the river for a long time but couldn't drink water. He couldn't help but raise his horse's head and neighed, asking Meng Hu on the horse's back for help.

Meng Hu was awakened by the loud neighing sound of the dark clouds and snow. He quickly turned over and got off the horse and kicked the thick ice layer.

The dark clouds covered the snow and poked the huge horse's head into the ice cave and drank happily. Meng Hu turned around in boredom, but suddenly stunned for a moment, and then his face soon became solemn. With the faint twilight mist, Meng Hu clearly saw that the river beach not far away was covered with dense horse hoof prints!

It was cold this day, and the river beach was as cold as iron, leaving hoof prints?

Meng Hu looked back at the direction where Dark Yun Gaixue was walking. Sure enough, there was a line of shallow hoof prints, but it was much shallower than the dense horseshoe prints on the river beach in front. How did these horseshoe prints come from? Meng Hu thought about it more suspicious, so he threw the reins to a barbarian next to him and strode towards the river beach full of horseshoe prints.

Seeing Meng Hu like this, Xiong Batian, Langhao and Langya thought he had discovered something, so they followed him instinctively.

Not long after walking forward, Meng Hu stood on the river beach full of hoof prints. Xiong Batian, wolf hair, wolf teeth and the others also saw these horses' hoof prints. Xiong Batian lay on the ground exaggeratedly, stuck out his tongue and licked and sniffed several horses' hoof prints, then straightened his waist and said to Meng Hu: "Big leader, these hoof prints were left three days ago!"

Meng Hu's heart was stern and asked in a deep voice: "Can you be sure?"

Xiong Batian replied with great confidence: "It's definitely not wrong."

"Hmph, this is very interesting. This is definitely not our cavalry!"

Meng Hu hummed twice, squatted down and compared the dense horse hoof prints with his hands, and said in a deep voice: "The weather three days ago was similar to today. It was cold and the river beach was as cold as iron. Our war horses just now left only a shallow mark, but these horse hoof prints were much deeper!"

Why are these horse hoof prints deeper? There is no need to say more, it must be because the load on war horses is heavier!

Xiong Batian nodded and added: "And judging from the size of this hoof print, the cavalry's war horses are generally taller than ours!"

"Heavy Armored Iron Cavalry! This must be the Heavy Armored Iron Cavalry of the Mingyue Empire Army!"

After Xiong Batian said this, Meng Hu had become more and more sure of his guess.

But what puzzled Meng Hu was why Situ Rui suddenly dispatched his heavy armored iron cavalry?

And seeing that the horse's hooves were clearly heading towards the east, could it be that the enemy was found in the east? The enemy's enemy was his own people? Thinking of this, Meng Hu's heart suddenly moved. Could it be that the reinforcements of the Guanghui Empire have arrived? So Situ Rui decided to temporarily put down Xiling and gather superior forces to deal with this reinforcements first?

Moreover, it seems that the reinforcements sent by the Glorious Empire this time are quite large, and Situ Rui even dispatched his ace.

Suddenly, the fierce battle when breaking through the Hexi Fortress appeared in front of Meng Hu again. Seeing that he had already broken through the siege, a large group of heavily armored cavalry crushed over in the swaying mountains and swaying mountains. Nianzi and the others were so heroic. Meng Hu was not dead, so he luckily hid in the pit and saved his life and returned.

Meng Hu's heart began to churn violently.

Heavy armored iron cavalry are known for their invincibility in the Middle Earth world. They have noble noble blood, the most exquisite equipment, and the best war horses, and ultimately create invincible terrifying destructive power. Even heavy infantrymen carrying heavy armor cannot stop the cluster charge of the heavy armored iron cavalry!

Meng Hu could completely imagine what kind of blow it would have to deal with the morale of the Mingyue Empire after he defeated the well-equipped heavy-armored cavalry of the Mingyue Empire with a team of poorly equipped light cavalry. It would have been a completely devastating blow, and it might even directly destroy the fighting spirit of the Mingyue Empire Army!

So, can the poorly prepared barbarian cavalry really defeat the well-equipped heavy armored cavalry of the Mingyue Empire?

Meng Hu believed that there must be opportunities, otherwise in the original world, Mongolian cavalry would not have been able to overcome the same well-equipped and well-trained Teutonic Knights!

Thinking of this, Meng Hu did not hesitate anymore and looked up and shouted: "Xiong Batian, immediately feed the war horses essence. After a little rest, I chased me with these horse hoof prints. Humph, this time I will use the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Mingyue Empire Army to commemorate the heroic spirit of Zai Tian who fell in the last ambush!"

The car is shaking, and the horse is roaring.

On the large rush road from Yanmen Pass to Xiling, more than 100,000 troops of the Guards were advancing at full speed.

After the founding of the Kingdom of Guanghui Emperor, he spent millions of manpower and huge financial resources to build two great projects in thirty years. One of them was to build Luojing City, and the other was to build a large cyclo road leading to the eight provinces. These eight cyclo roads were more than ten feet wide. They first covered a three-foot thick layer of grass mixed loess on the cyclo road, and repeatedly rammed it with the people. After compacting and leveling it with the roadbed on both sides, the second layer of grass mixed loess was covered, and then repeatedly rammed it, leveling it with the roadbed and then covered the third layer of grass mixed loess. This was repeated nine times, and it took twenty-seven years. Finally, the surface was covered with bluestone with three feet square, one foot and five inches thick, and the surface was flat. The cyclo road was finally completed.

These two projects cost immeasurable, but they brought boundless blessings to the descendants of the Guanghui Empire.

For example, today, Mengyan’s Guards Corps was able to make more than 900 miles westward within eight days thanks to the large road built by his ancestors. The once out of reach of Xiling is already in front of you!

However, Meng Yan, who was anxious, still felt that the marching speed was slow. He summoned Shi Miyuan and Pu Sanzhi to his luxurious chariot, frowned and asked, "Where has this been?"

Park Sanzhi hurriedly said: "Report to Your Highness, my daughter is crying not far ahead."

"Daughter tears?" Meng Yan's sword eyebrows suddenly frowned, and his handsome face was covered with a layer of haze. He whispered, "Is it Daughter River, who changed its name three years ago?"

Three years ago, the Fourth Division of the Western Legion was burned to ashes by Situ Rui in the Valley of Despair. That was a major event that shocked the whole country. The story of the daughter river being later renamed to daughter tears spread throughout the empire. Meng Yan, as the second prince of the empire, certainly knew about these widely circulated things.

Park Sanzhi responded respectfully: "It is this daughter river."

Meng Yan gently tapped the guardrail of the chariot with his right hand, frowned and asked, "I remember, this daughter river should not be wide, right?"

Pu Sanzhi said hurriedly: "It's not wide, it's only a dozen feet wide, and the river water is not deep. It's the cold winter month again, and the river water has long frozen. Just spread a layer of hay on the river surface, and the army can pass safely, and it will never affect the army's crossing the river."
