Chapter 177: Go to Xijing, move forward!

"What!?"

Pu Sanzhi was furious when he heard this, "Shi Miyuan, are you crazy? How can you take risks with your nobleman with a huge gold body?"

"Do you take risks in a light?" Shi Miyuan said hungrily, "Pu Sanzhi, don't you know that Your Highness has the courage to be unworthy of thousands of men?"

Park Sanzhi said urgently: "Your Highness has the courage of thousands of men, but there is no sight on the battlefield. Who can guarantee that your Highness will not be injured? Your Highness is the highest commander of the Western Expedition Army. If there is an accident, the second commander Chongshan and the third commander Meng Hu are not in the army. Who should bear this responsibility? Who should be the 200,000 army commander?"

"Pu Sanzhi!" Shi Miyuan said in a dark voice, "Do you dare to curse Your Highness?"

"You!" Park Sanzhi was anxious when he heard this, and said, "You are slandering!"

"Okay!" Meng Yan frowned and finally said, "Don't fight."

After saying that, Meng Yan turned around and said to Han Feng: "Han Feng, I will give you two more days. If I still can't take the Tiger Roar Pass within two days, I will lead the troops to fight in person!"

"yes!"

Han Feng agreed and took the order.

Sword Gorge.

A solid camp firmly stuck the entire canyon. Wukuifeng, one of the four masters of Yuewang, was stationed here, but his troops were only one corps of five thousand.

At this moment, Wukuifeng is having a meal in the big tent.

As one of the four masters of the Yuewang, Wukuifeng not only has outstanding martial arts skills, but also has outstanding abilities. In his early years, he also made great achievements in defeating the Eight Kings Rebellion.

Wukuifeng admired Qiu Yutang from the bottom of his heart. Although he never thought that Meng Hu had the courage to return to the army to attack Zhongzhou, since it was the will of King Yue, Wukuifeng did it meticulously, and managed the military camp like an iron barrel, almost catching up with the fortress.

The lunch at Wukuifeng is half a piece of thick cake and a bowl of hot water, which is the same as the food ration standard for the soldiers under his command. Since the outbreak of the Patriotic War, due to the emptiness of the national treasury, the soldiers of the Mingyue Imperial Army were only given very limited food ration every day. Wukuifeng has always loved soldiers like his sons, and he ate whatever he ate and slept.

At the curtain lifted, a gang leader walked in with a bowl of hot mutton soup and smiled and said, "General, there is a bowl of mutton soup, have you drunk it while it's hot?"

Wukuifeng sniffed the mutton soup, then returned it to the head army, and said, "Send this bowl of soup to the wounded barracks to warm the stomachs of the frostbite."

"Why."

The head-in-arms responded, and took the mutton soup and left the tent with a sad expression.

As soon as the head of the team left, another Mingyue officer stepped inside quickly and said loudly: "General, the enemy attack!"

Wukuifeng stood up suddenly, and a trace of murderous aura immediately rose on his face, which seemed a little bleak, and asked, "Is it Meng Hu's partial master in the north wing?"

Officer Mingyue said solemnly: "Yes!"

"It's true that's not what Your Highness expected!"

Wukuifeng tightened the hilt of the battle knife and said in a narrow voice, "Meng Hu, a madman who doesn't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is, actually brought his side troops to attack Zhongzhou, hum!"

Officer Mingyue said: "General, will you send a message to the imperial capital and the prince immediately?"

"Well!" Wukuifeng pointed his head loudly and shouted loudly, "Come here!"

The guard captain had already entered the tent and clasped his fists and replied, "What are the instructions of the general?"

Wukuifeng said: "Immediately send a fast horse to the imperial capital to inquire, and at the same time ignited the beacon fire, warning the beacon tower on the Jitian Mountains, and then send a letter to the Yue King with a flying pigeon. It was said that Meng Hu's northern wing partial master was indeed not as expected by the prince. He planned to attack the imperial capital by circles. Now our troops have been rejected from the sword and sword gorge. Please make arrangements as soon as possible."

"yes!"

The captain of the guard agreed and took the order.

Wukuifeng turned around and reported to the officer who had just entered the tent, saying, "Summon the army immediately and prepare to face the enemy!"

North of Daojian Gorge, snow field.

Meng Hu's northern wing division has already launched its entire army on the snow field.

The four divisions of the Western Legion formed four square formations of different sizes. Ma Sifeng's cavalry division and Xiong Batian's barbarian cavalry protected the left and right wings respectively. Meng Hu looked back on the horse's back and saw that behind him were crowded with people's heads, countless spears pointed straight at the sky, standing like a forest, and the cold and cold light reflected the entire sky.

Looking back, a solid camp stuck in the sword gorge.

If the army wants to go south, they have only two choices. They either forcefully knock on the solid camp in front of them, or climb over the Jitian Mountain or Nucang Mountain on both sides of Daojian Gorge. Of course, if Meng Hu wants to, his northern wing army can continue to go west for more than 800 miles, first bypass Nucang Mountain and then go south to Zhongzhou.

Qi Diaozi, who stood on the left side of Meng Hu, suddenly sighed and shook his head and said, "It's really Qiu Yutang. As expected, our army would detour Zhongzhou and attack Xijing in surprise, and also left a elite soldier in Daojian Gorge! It seems that without a fierce battle, our army will not be able to pass this Daojian Gorge smoothly."

Jia Wudao also sighed and said, "What is even more worrying is that once the Mingyue defenders in front of him cannot be wiped out, once the news of our army's surprise attack on Xijing is leaked, and once the Mingyue Empire army in Xijing is alert and prepared in advance, it will be difficult for us to succeed in Xijing!"

Qi Diaozi sighed again and said, "What's worse is that once the news is leaked, Qiu Yutang will inevitably make corresponding arrangements. At that time, I will go deep into the hinterland of Zhongzhou alone and be surrounded by strong enemies, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

Meng Hu smiled and said, "Where are so many concerns? Marines and wars always have advances and no retreats. If you are worried about this or that, you can just stay at home and carry your children. Why should you lead your troops out to conquer the world? Lao Qi, Lao Jia, are you too worried? Hahaha."

Qi Diaozi and Jia Wudao looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but a strange look flashed through their eyes at the same time. They thought that in the face of such an unfavorable situation, only a hero like Meng Hu could still talk and laugh, and they didn't take it seriously. But then again, only such a hero could create miracles in desperate situations.

Meng Hu reached out and pointed to the solid camp in front of him and said loudly: "No matter how strong the camp in front of him is, in my eyes, it is just a pile of tofu!"

Zhan Ying crawled forward and said, "General, give this task to our First Division. Before dark today, Bei Zhi promises to take down the sword gorge!"

"Okay!" Meng Hu said with a heavy emphasis, "that's your first division!"

"yes!"

The War Eagle responded violently, then rode his horse to the phalanx of the First Division, and called out a gun and shouted, "The warriors of the First Division, attack..."

South of Daojianxia, ​​snow field.

The weather in the Mingyue Empire this year is really abnormal. It is already April. In previous years, it was already the season of spring blooming. But at this time this year, the entire central and northern parts of the empire were still covered with ice and snow, especially two consecutive blizzards two days ago. Except for the three southern states, the rest of the vast areas, including Zhongzhou, were covered with thick snow.

On the gentle slope on the left side of the snow field, a broken wooden stake suddenly rolled down from the slope. After rolling onto the snow field, the broken wooden stake suddenly stood up without warning, and then shook off the snow covered outside, slowly revealing its human form. It turned out to be a seven-foot-high man!

"puff!"

Zhang Xingba opened his mouth and spat out the snow in his mouth. He turned around and the warriors of the Guard were rolling down from the gentle slopes with his footsteps. In less than a meal, more than 4,000 warriors of the Guard had gathered behind him. Except for the mountain stream, who fell to death and fell to death, no one of the rest fell behind!

"Get together, all gather!"

With Zhang Xingba's order, the warriors of the Guards quickly began to assemble.

Now the guard has gone around the southern foot of Daojian Gorge. Calculate the time, the general's northern wing army is almost time to arrive at Daojian Gorge and launch an attack. The next task of the guard is to intercept the Mingyue defeated soldiers who fled south from Daojian Gorge and the fast horses sent by the Mingyue defenders in Daojian Gorge.

Of course, when necessary, Zhang Xingba would also launch an attack from the southern foot of Daojianxia to assist the attack of the army on the northern foot of the army.

The guards had just finished assembled, and a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly pointed to the canyon in front of him and shouted: "Sir, look, wolf smoke!"

"Um?"

Zhang Xingba turned around when he heard the sound, and indeed saw a thick stream of blue smoke rising from the Mingyue Camp in the Daojian Gorge. Although the wind in the middle of the canyon was very strong, the thick smoke still stubbornly soared upwards, extending to dozens of feet high before slowly dissipating. In this situation, it was clearly visible within a radius of more than ten miles, and the mountains on both sides of the canyon could be seen more clearly.

However, Zhang Xingba showed a hint of ferociousness on his face and said with a grim smile: "Haha, the general has indeed received the information. These bright moon dogs plan to use the technique of beacon to warn. Unfortunately, the dozen beacon towers on the mountain have been demolished by the brothers. Do you still want to send a message to beacon? What a big deal!"

"Hahaha……"

The warriors of the guard behind Zhang Xingba burst into laughter when they heard this.

Zhang Xingba suddenly raised his hand, and the laughter of the soldiers behind him stopped abruptly. Zhang Xingba then turned around and shouted: "The enemy's method of transmission is likely to be more than one form. In addition to the wolf smoke and beacon, it is likely that they will also send fast horses and even release pigeons. Now our mission is to hunt any living creatures passing by nearby areas, and the archers are specifically responsible for shooting and killing any birds flying from the sky. The general said that he would rather kill the wrong one than let it go!"

"yes!"

"I would rather kill the wrong one than let it go!"

"I would rather kill the wrong one than let it go!"

"I would rather kill the wrong one than let it go!"

The warriors of the Guards agreed and began to prepare one after another.

Sword Gorge, Bright Moon Camp.

Wukui Peak was wearing heavy armor and stood solemnly behind the gate. While frowning at the eyebrow, an officer hurried behind him and said anxiously: "General, something happened, something big happened!"

"What's going on?" Wukuifeng turned around and shouted, "What's going on? What's wrong?"

The officer took a deep breath of air conditioning and said in a voice: "General, an enemy army has actually crossed the Jitian Mountains and walked behind our army. Although the troops are not large, there are at least four or five thousand people!"

"There is still this?"

Wukuifeng's face changed slightly, and he immediately sneered, "So what? Our military camp is as strong as an iron barrel. Even if the enemy attacks on both sides, there is no need to worry!"

"General, it's not just that."

The officer took a breath and continued, "After our army ignited wolf smoke in the camp, the beacon towers scattered on the Jitian Mountains did not ignite the wolf smoke to respond. The several fast horses sent out from the camp were all hunted by the enemy troops on the southern foot of the canyon. What is even more unbelievable is that the archers and the pigeons of our army were also shot and killed!"

"What did you say!?" Wukuifeng's face finally changed drastically when he heard this. He grabbed the officer's breastplate and said sternly, "Even the carrier pigeon was shot and killed? How did you know?"

The officer said sadly: "There are three fast horses that were sent out of the camp. Two of them were hunted by the enemy on the southern foot of the canyon. Only one of them escaped. The news that the pigeon was shot was brought back, because the pigeon that was released this time was black feathered, which was very eye-catching against the snow scene. When the pigeon was shot from the sky, he happened to see it."

"Damn it." Wukuifeng said furiously, "Why did you release a black feathered pigeon?"

The officer said anxiously: "There are two carrier pigeons in the camp, one with gray feathers and the other with white feathers. Now let's go and release the white feathers."

"Come back!" Wukuifeng frowned and shouted, "What if the carrier pigeon is released at this time, what if it is shot down by the enemy archer again?"

"This..." the officer said in a calm voice, "The white-feathered pigeon is the same color as the snow scene, and it is not so easy to distinguish. It should be difficult to be shot down, right?"

Wukuifeng said coldly: "What if even the white-feathered pigeon was shot down by the enemy's archers? Then, the news of Meng Hu's northern wing army detoured Zhongzhou and attacking Xijing will no longer be transmitted. At that time, the imperial capital was caught off guard. If Meng Hu really succeeded in the sneak attack, can you and I bear this responsibility?"

The officer shivered excitedly when he heard this and whispered: "Then, what should I do?"

Wukuifeng's eyes turned and he said coldly: "Now there is only one way to send the message out!"

After saying that, Wukuifeng called the officer in front of him and gave a few instructions. The officer nodded repeatedly and took the order.

In this kung fu, a square formation had already been divided among the four enemy formations in front of him. He stepped on his neat steps and shouted neatly horns and slowly crushed towards Mingyue Camp. Wukuifeng turned around and saw the enemy lineup that was crushing forward. As he marched, he was full of murderous aura and wildness. Wukuifeng couldn't help but twitched. Based on his years of experience in fighting on the battlefield, we can see that the enemy in front of him is definitely a strong enemy that cannot be underestimated!
