Chapter 171: Going straight to Xijing

Meng Hu ordered two hours to take the tiger's mouth to kill him, but only half an hour passed, Meng Hu had already climbed the mountain pass surrounded by Qi Diaozi and Jia Wudao.

Jia Wudao looked up at the Mingyue Empire Army, which was retreating rapidly on the east side of the mountain pass, and said with emotion: "Old Qi, I, Jia Wudao, have you forgotten you, I really got the information. Qiu Yutang, the little widow, really didn't plan to kill Hukou and have been entangled with us too much. Now, we just started to set off and they retreated without fighting."

"Haha, Lao Jia, you have been awarded."

Qi Diaozi smiled slightly, and suddenly pointed the ground under the horse's hooves with the horse's whip in his hand and said, "General, Lao Jia, have you seen that the Mingyue Empire Army still built fortifications on the mountain pass, but only built low and difficult-to-destruct foundations. Moreover, the direction of the defense is not the west side, but the east side of the mountain pass. What does this mean?"

"Yes." Jia Wudao asked with a frown, "It makes no sense for the enemy to do this."

Meng Hu smiled and said, "Is it really unreasonable?"

Qi Diaozi answered the question: "Qiu Yutang is very careful."

Meng Hu sneered: "Can she be careless?"

After saying that, Meng Hu and Qi Diaozi looked at each other, and a tacit smile flashed across their faces. Only Jia Wudao was confused by the two of them. This guy's scheming was quite deep, and he was a top-notch expert in making conspiracies. But when it comes to the overall situation, he was far from Meng Hu and Qi Diaozi.

Amid the rapid sound of horse hooves, Ma Sifeng from the Northern Legion suddenly rushed up and clasped his fists to Meng Hu and said, "God of General, can you allow Bei Zhi to lead the cavalry division to chase the enemy?"

Meng Hu waved his hand and said calmly: "There is no need to chase and kill."

Qi Diaozi on the side also smiled and said, "General Ma, you are understanding in your desire to kill the enemy and serve the country, but the enemy army ahead will soon retreat into the mountains, so no matter how many cavalry they send to chase after him, it will be useless."

As Qi Diaozi finished speaking, the Mingyue Empire Army, who was retreating along the canyon in front, turned into the valley on the right, and then retreated along the valley into the depths of Dahu Mountain. In less than a moment, the sparks of light completely disappeared into the dark night.

Qiu Yutang's Imperial Guard Corps and Xiao Lang's Guard Corps have joined forces and are heading south along the official road of Lieliu City to Huxiao Pass.

In the wide carriage.

Qiuye asked Qiu Yutang with a finger map: "My aunt, since you have sent General Wukuishan to guard the Hukou, why should you order to abandon the guard as soon as possible when you are attacked by the enemy?"

Although this prince is smart, he is only thirteen years old after all. He can understand simple military issues, but once political issues are involved, he seems a little unclear.

Qiu Yutang sighed softly and said softly: "Because we cannot let Meng Hu's army stay west of the tiger's mouth."

Akino said again: "Then why did you order General Wukuishan to occupy the tiger's mouth again after Menghu's army crossed? Auntie, didn't you say that Menghu already had the intention of being unjust, so you were eager to return to the country? In this way, isn't it unnecessary for General Wukuishan to occupy the tiger's mouth again?"

Qiu Yutang reached out and gently stroked Qiu Ye's little head, and said earnestly: "Ye'er, in the future, you must remember that there is no absolute thing in this world, including your judgment. No matter how confident you are in your judgment, you must make the worst plan, and as much as possible, remedial measures as possible after the situation is out of control."

Qiuye blinked his big black eyes and suddenly said, "Is this the emperor's move to prevent Meng Hu from killing him back?"

"Yes." Qiu Yutang nodded gently, "Bad care often leads to big mistakes, but be careful but it takes ten thousand years of ships!"

"Ye'er understands it." Qiuye said again, "In addition to General Wukuishan, the emperor's aunt also sent General Wukuifeng to guard Heifengkou, and then sent General Wukuiling to guard Daojian Gorge. This arrangement is to prevent Meng Hu's northern wing troops from taking advantage of the situation and stabbing the empire's heart, right?"

"Yes." Qiu Yutang said softly, "The wild man is so smart."

Qiuye turned his eyes to the map again, stared at the narrow Tianlang Mountain Road on the map for a moment, and suddenly asked again: "But Ye'er still has a question that can't figure out why the emperor's aunt did not let General Wukuihe's four corps try to get close to the Tianlang Fortress as close as possible, and then wait until Meng Hu's army completely penetrated Tianlang Mountain Road, and then send General Wukuishan to cut off the western entrance of Tianlang Mountain Road? In this way, Meng Hu's army can only force Qingyun Mountain, and there is no possibility of killing a shot back."

Qiu Yutang shook his head lightly and said softly: "Ye'er, there is another thing you should remember that the enemy on the battlefield is not a chess piece on the board, but a cunning opponent. It is not a placing whatever you want. You want to wait until Meng Hu's army completely penetrates the Tianlang Mountain Road before letting General Wukuishan cut off his way back. The idea is good, but it will be difficult to achieve it really. Don't forget how many people and how many cavalry are under Meng Hu's men? I'm afraid that before the Wukuishan's regiment approaches the mountain pass, Meng Hu's cavalry and infantry army will face it."

"Also, if you force Meng Hu's army to Qingyun Mountain near the Tianlang Fortress, it will be relatively easier for the enemy to cross Qingyun Mountain. But if you force them to Qingyun Mountain not far from the entrance of Tianlang Mountain Road, the price that Meng Hu's northern wing partial division will have to pay is much heavier. If my aunt is probably good, it would be good that Meng Hu's northern wing partial division could cross Qingyun Mountain alive!"

"So that's how it is."

Qiuye nodded and suddenly said, "Auntie, what if Meng Hu doesn't climb Qingyun Mountain but doesn't walk on the dangerous road of Heifengkou, instead go north to Heifeng Ridge and then head south to Daojian Gorge? Can a unit of General Wukuiling stop Meng Hu's northern wing army?"

"It will definitely not be able to stop Wukuiling alone."

Qiu Yutang sighed lightly, "But when Meng Hu's northern wing division bypasses Motianling and reaches Daojian Gorge, the Shuozhou Legion of Old General Yan should have arrived."

"Yes." Qiuye gently tapped, "How come Ye'er forgot about the Shuozhou Legion of Old General Yan."

Unlike Qiuye's relaxed face, Qiu Yutang's pretty face did not look much relaxed. Speaking of the nine states of the Mingyue Empire, the farthest from the imperial capital was Shuozhou, which was farthest from the north of the desert. What Qiu Yutang worried about the most was Shuozhou, because fifty years ago, this Shuozhou was still an independent kingdom, with the name of Dayan!

Later, although the Mingyue Empire annexed the Da Yan Kingdom and killed all the royal bloodlines of the Da Yan Kingdom, it had to support another side force to stabilize the situation in Shuozhou. This is the origin of the current Yan family in Shuozhou. Although Yan Shisan, the current head of the Yan family in Shuozhou, is over 70 years old, his five sons are all outstanding, and are known as the Five Tigers of Shuozhou!

The eldest son Yan Shisi, the second son Yan Chongtian, the third son Yan Beifei, and the fourth son Yan Lingyun firmly controlled the military power and managed the entire Shuozhou army like an iron barrel. The foreign forces could not pour water into the needle, especially the fifth son Yan Changkong, who had already grown into a famous general under Situ Rui's command!

Qiu Yutang must not help but worry that with the strength of the Yan family, he will not dream of restoring his country one day!

But now, Qiu Yutang has to rely on the power of the Yan family in Chongshuozhou. Compared with the Guanghui Imperial Army that launched a large-scale invasion, the Yan family in Shuozhou is still a potential danger.

Less than three hundred miles east of the Tiger's mouth is the west entrance of Tianlang Mountain Road.

The 50,000 infantry of the Western Legion marched with the help of snowboards and snowboards. In just less than two days, they walked more than 200 miles. At the same time, along with Ma Sifeng's cavalry division and Xiong Batian's barbarian cavalry, they arrived outside the west entrance of Tianlang Mountain Road. However, what appeared in front of the partial division in the north wing was not a smooth road, but a layer of blocking.

A camp that looked very solid had firmly occupied the narrow Tianlang Mountain Road.

What’s even more terrible is that you can see the shadow of another camp after about five miles deep into the mountain road!

Seeing this scene, Meng Hu's face became gloomy. Then he took Qi Diaozi and Jia Wudao to a lonely peak on the right side of the mountain road. Standing on the lonely peak and looking forward, he actually found the shadows of two other camps. In total, four solid camps were seen, each camp was stationed with a considerable Mingyue Empire Army.

Jia Wudao's eyes were cold and said in a voice: "There are four camps that can be seen in the field of view. If you go deeper into the mountain road, there might be more camps. Conservatively, the remaining troops in each camp have more than one corps. In other words, Qiu Yutang, the little widow, actually left a division in Tianlang Mountain Road!"

"Awesome!"

Meng Hu took a deep breath of air conditioning and said coldly, "Qiu Yutang, this little widow, is not a false reputation. Using favorable terrain, a division is divided into five corpses to distribute troops to resist and resist step by step. The deterrence generated is much stronger than gathering a division together! If the enemy defends desperately, it will take at least one month to take down all of these at least four camps. By then, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold!"

"yes."

Qi Diaozi said with a serious face, "In addition to the actual refusal effect, such arrangements will also cause a great blow to the psychology of our soldiers. There is another enemy camp, and then another one is found. It seems that it will never be finished, which will cause great slackness to morale."

Meng Hu hummed twice and said coldly: "It seems that Qiu Yutang, this little widow, is going to force us to Qingyun Mountain!"

"Going Qingyun Mountain?" Qi Diaozi and Jia Wudao changed their qualities at the same time, "General, it's not easy to climb Qingyun Mountain!"

"Don't worry, Lao Qi, Lao Jia, I'm not stupid enough to cross Qingyun Mountain!" Meng Hu's eyes suddenly flashed with a tyrannical light and said with a grim voice, "But looking at the posture of Qiu Yutang, the little widow, clearly, it is about to force us to climb Qingyun Mountain. Since this little widow is so ignorant and determined to force us to the dead end, I can't tell her a lesson!"

Qi Diaozi's eyebrows couldn't help but tighten. The thing he was most worried about finally happened. Meng Hu was indeed angry.

Jia Wudao also faintly heard Meng Hu's implication and asked in a narrow voice: "What does the general mean... is to kill someone to shoot back?"
