Two hundred miles north of Lieliu City, wild boar forest.

Meng Hu's northern wing army was camping here to repair it, heading south from the banks of the Poison River to the Wild Boar Forest, and walked about 400 miles in five days. Because he didn't want to expose the snowboard as a marching weapon too early, this time he went south, Meng Hu ordered the partial divisions in the north wing not to use snowboards, but to march on the snow with his legs.

This exhausted the soldiers of the North Wing's partial division. Ma Sifeng's light cavalry and Xiong Batian's barbarian cavalry were fine, but the infantrymen of the Western Legion were very tired. It would be difficult for them to continue the high-intensity march without resting for two days.

In the central army's tent, Qi Diaozi and Jia Wudao gathered again in front of Meng Hu's case.

Jia Wudao has completely entered the role of the intelligence manager and said with a finger map: "General, the barbarian cavalry just sent back the news and found a large group of Mingyue Empire Army in Lieliu City. Judging from the banner, it should be the guards of the Mingyue Empire, but it is impossible to sneak into the city to spy on it, so I don't know the exact configuration of the troops."

Qi Diaozi said with great certainty: "No need to explore, the entire Guards must have come."

Meng Hu also nodded gently and said, "Old Qi is right. The Guards Army cannot just draw one or two divisions to come north to intercept our retreat route south. Qiu Yutang sets down the bait at the Black Wind Quarter for fishing. It makes no sense to set up the bait in Lieliu City. She would not do such a stupid thing."

Jia Wudao said: "With the Guards Army stationed in Lieliu City, it will be difficult for us to get around. If we are entangled, it will be a big trouble. In the end, we will definitely be surrounded by Qiu Yutang's army!"

Qi Diaozi said: "Who said we are going to bypass Lieliu City?"

"Huh?" Jia Wudao exclaimed in surprise and said, "Isn't this time going south to detour the eastern foot of Dahu Mountain and then heading north?"

"Of course not." Qi Diaozi said with a smile, "This time we went south not to detour the eastern foot of Dahu Mountain and then head north, but to mobilize the Mingyue army. Once Qiu Yutang discovered that our army was heading south, her several large armies would definitely be mobilized. At that time, our army suddenly returned to the army north and could take advantage of the situation and kill the tiger's mouth."

Jia Wudao asked: "What if Qiu Yutang's army doesn't move?"

Qi Diaozi said: "Then we will go around in Heifengkou, Killing Hukou and Lieliu City. Anyway, Qin Lie's Dingzhou Light Cavalry has been completely destroyed. It is impossible for Qiu Yutang's Mingyue Army to catch up with us with two legs. After all, the enemy is more anxious than us. Although we are eager to return to Xiling, why don't Qiu Yutang go south in a hurry?"

Meng Hu smiled and said grimly: "If Qiu Yutang is a little widow, then don't mess with me. She'd better let go of the Killhukou and Tianlang Mountain Road and let our Western Legion go over. In this way, she can concentrate all her efforts against Mengyan's middle army, and the Mingyue Empire will not be destroyed."

Qi Diaozi said: "Based on the job of humbleness, Qiu Yutang will definitely try to stop him, but he will not try his best."

Jia Wudao said: "What if Qiu Yutang is determined to solve us first? You must be careful!"

Meng Hu said coldly: "Old Qi is right. Qiu Yutang will definitely not let us go easily, but she should not try her best to deal with us. She cannot be worried about the war at Hu Xiao Pass. If Meng Yan's middle army breaks Hu Xiao Pass, then Mingyue Empire will be ready to destroy the country!"

Qi Diaozi smiled and explained to Jia Wudao: "This is our opportunity. We deliberately went south and took the initiative to mobilize Mingyue's pursuit of troops in order to show Qiu Yutang our determination and intention. If she doesn't know the truth, we will continue to deal with her until Meng Yan breaks through the Tiger Flash Pass. If she knows the truth, she will inevitably transfer the army from the Tiger Killing Mouth. Of course, Qiu Yutang will definitely leave a small number of troops to make things difficult for us, but that is not enough to stop us from returning to China."

Tiger Roar Pass.

The fierce offensive and defensive battle has lasted for nearly half a month.

Although the Glorious Imperial Army was a siege, they had an overwhelming advantage in long-range killing weapons. Two hundred large catapults caused serious damage to the city defense fortifications of Hu Xiao Pass, and even the solid walls had been severely damaged and could collapse at any time.

But what is even more deadly is the sulphur bombs fired by medium-sized catapults. Each time they launch, it will always burn the entire Hu Xiao Pass into a sea of ​​fire. The Mingyue Guards in the Pass have nowhere to hide. After nearly half a month of fierce fighting, the Guanghui Empire Army certainly suffered heavy casualties, but the Mingyue Empire Army was definitely no less casualties than the Guanghui Empire Army.

Although the Mingyue Empire Army occupied the strong Guancheng, the casualties of the two armies were almost equal.

The setting sun sets westward, and the extremely long day finally passed again. A low horn sounded in the Guangqiu camp outside the pass. The Guangqiu Empire Army, which was crowded just now, turned around and retreated with its siege equipment. In the short time, it retreated from the wall without a meal.

From a distance, there were corpses under the towering walls of the gates, and countless incomplete corpses almost filled the open space in front of the gates with a large portion of the dead. These dead bodies were Mingyue Army and Guanghui Army. They were enemies who fought to the death during their lifetime, but now they lay together without any consciousness.

Before the Mingyue Empire on the wall was taking a breath, countless huge rocks as big as millstones and huge fireballs dragging long tail flames rose from the sky from afar, and then drew dazzling trajectories in the air, and finally fell from the sky with the momentum of destroying the world, just like a meteorite rain from outside the sky fell into the Tiger Roar Pass.

In an instant, a ball of dazzling fire bloomed violently inside and outside the pass, and accompanied by violent impact, the wall that was originally damaged began to tremble violently. A large number of blue bricks and loess fell from a high place, and the soldiers of the Mingyue Empire who were guarding the wall could not help but feel scared.

Half an hour later, the long-range strike of the Guanghui Empire Army finally ended, officially announcing that the day of fierce fighting had ended. At this time, the entire Hu Xiaoguan City had completely become a sea of ​​fire. It was not until it was confirmed that there were no fireballs and huge rocks falling from the sky. The Mingyue Empire soldiers hiding in the hidden cave dared to emerge tremblingly. When the Guanghui Empire Army outside the Pass had already begun to enjoy dinner beautifully, the Mingyue Empire Army inside the Pass was still busy extinguishing the fire, and then seized the time to repair the seriously damaged wall.

Amid the flashing fire, Situ Rui slowly walked out of the Tibetan soldiers cave surrounded by more than a dozen clans.

Situ Rui's face looked very serious. Just like his mood at this moment, it was only less than half a month before, but the city defense fortifications of Hu Xiao Pass had been severely damaged. If this continues, at least two gaps will be blasted out of the solid wall in about ten days.

For two months, I need to keep Hu Xiao Pass for at least two months, which means that after a gap appears in the wall, I have to continue to hold on for at least forty days. At that time, I can only rely on the flesh and blood of Qingzhou soldiers and Yingzhou soldiers to block the gap. Even if Situ Rui has experienced many battles, he would never dare to imagine how tragic the fierce battle would be?

The tiger roars outside the pass, and the glorious camp.

A strange black shadow flashed into Shi Miyuan's tent like a ghost, and the light that was originally lit in the tent suddenly went out.

In the darkness where he could not see his fingers, a gloomy and low voice suddenly sounded: "What is the will of the Chief?"

Another voice that was also low responded: "The chief has mobilized 800,000 elite troops. Just wait for the imperial guards stationed outside Luojing, which is stationed outside Luojing, and can march straight into the capture of Luojing!"

"I know." The gloomy voice said, "Our plan is going very smoothly. It won't take long for the entire Western Expedition Army of the Glorious Empire to be destroyed. At that time, rebellions will break out in the western provinces. In order to suppress the rebellion, Meng Ke will definitely transfer the Imperial Guards to the western provinces. At this time, our opportunity will come."

"I understand." The low voice replied, "I will send a letter to Chief Bingda by Fei Ge."

Then, the tent returned to silence, and then a faint black shadow flashed out from it, and then it disappeared into the thick night in the distance. Not long after, the lights lit up in the tent again. Then, the curtain was lifted, Shi Miyuan, with a cold expression, bent over and crawled out, and quickly walked towards Meng Yan's central army tent.

While the fierce battle at Hu Xiao Pass was in full swing, the northern province of the Glorious Empire seemed extremely calm.

However, on the calm surface, there was already a surging desert surging on the borders of the northern provinces, but this dark tide has not yet spread to the small orphan city on the southern foot of the Great Wilderness Mountain.

Little Lonely City, garrison camp.

Yue Meng squatted on the ground and hugged a wooden stake with both hands. A strong and powerful captain of the Semitic clan stood by the side, waving a huge wooden hammer and smashed it down heavily. With a sound of a puff, the hammer was broken. Although it did not hit Yue Meng, it also tilted the wooden stake to the side. Yue Meng's thin body was knocked to the ground. When he got up, his face was covered with plaster, which made him look extremely embarrassed.

"Sir, are you okay?"

The captain of the Semitic tribe who was swinging the hammer asked hypocritically, but he had no intention of coming forward to support him.

Yue Meng shrugged, continued to hold the wooden stake with his thin hands that had been ground out of blood blisters, and then smiled at the captain of the Semitic clan and said, "It's okay, I'm okay, let's continue!"

The captain of the Flash Clan spit out a mouthful of phlegm in his palm, rubbed it disgustingly and grabbed the huge wooden hammer. When he was about to make trouble again, he kicked the Flash Clan captain in the air and kicked the Flash Clan captain out directly. Then a stronger bearded Flash Clan captain appeared in front of Yue Meng.

The captain of the Semitic clan who was kicked over rolled over and got up, then stared at the captain of the big bearded Semitic clan and shouted: "Shi Tianzhu, what do you mean?"

The bearded man named Shi Tianzhu frowned and said, "Sha Polang, don't be too much!"

As Shi Tianzhu finished speaking, two more Semitic captains came together and said to Yue Meng: "Sir, you can do this kind of thing yourself. Just leave it to us. We Semitic sons have the strength."

"Haha, it's okay." Yue Meng said with a smile, "If you can't even bear this little suffering, how can I share the joys and sorrows with everyone? I don't want to be the useless commander who is spoiled in the eyes of my brothers. Come on, Brother Polang, let's continue, nail these ten wooden stakes first before eating."

"Why!"

The captain of the Semitic clan named Sha Polang agreed and walked up again with a big wooden hammer.

However, Sha Polang did not secretly do anything, but honestly cooperated with Yue Meng to complete the task with ten wooden stakes. The other three Shinto captains stood beside him, and a strange look flashed through his eyes. The commander in front of him seemed to have all the imperial chiefs they had contacted before.
