Although they have not entered the city yet, you can tell that it is the Mingyue Palace just by looking at the direction of the fire. The Guanghui Empire Army actually set fire to destroy the Mingyue Empire's palace. They are not worthy of the title of military personnel. They are simply a group of robbers, bandits, and inhumane jackals!

At this moment, Yan Shisan felt awe-inspiring and his expression was horrified.

At this moment, Gongsun Xiang’s heart was cut like a knife, with a ferocious expression.

The imperial capital of the Mingyue Empire is really conquered!

This is an imperial capital with a population of 80 million, more than one million regular troops, and a vast territory of tens of thousands of miles. It has really caused a mere partial army to capture it. This is not only a heavy blow to the national prestige of the Mingyue Empire, but also a serious blow to the military prestige of the Mingyue Empire!

"Report... According to the people's oral statements, His Majesty the Emperor has been captured."

"Report... the palace has been looted and countless rare treasures have been robbed."

"Report... the nine halls, including the Daming Gate, the Mingyue Hall, and all the eighteen palaces were burned."

"Report... His Highness the Queen was hidden in a dry well by the people of the imperial capital. He luckily escaped this disaster and has been found now."

"Report... On the day when the enemy attacked the city, the Prime Minister supervised the construction of a refugee camp outside the city. His whereabouts are still unknown. All the other officials except the nine-sect admiral were killed in battle."

"Your Majesty, where is your Majesty!"

Listening to the quick horses all the way, Gongsun Xiang's chest began to rise and fall sharply, the blue veins on his neck were bulging, and his old face was already red. Finally, he started to scream, "The old minister came to save his master, the old minister, the former emperor, the empire, the old minister was guilty of death, the death penalty..."

"Father!"

"Sir Father!"

"Father's Day!"

"Don't blame yourself for now. The most urgent thing is to find a way to save Your Majesty."

Gongsun Xiang's thirteen sons rode forward one after another, comforting his father and offering suggestions. This scene made Yan Shisan beside him envious. Looking back, his sons were all famous, especially the fifth son Yan Changkong, who was not around, was even more heroic, but the number of people was far inferior to that of his husband and son.

Three hundred miles west of Hu Xiao Pass, Meng Hu was leading the Tiger Legion to advance eastward along the official road.

Since conquering Xijing, the weather has been continuously refreshed and the temperature has risen sharply. Almost all the snow covering the Zhongzhou Plain has melted. Once the snow has melted, not only does the skis fail, but even the horses and sleds cannot walk. The food, grass and supplies of the accompanying army and the rare treasures snatched from the Mingyue Palace have all become burdens. Now the Tiger Legion is facing a big problem.

What's even more, the heavy snow melted the entire plain and became muddy all over the ground. In addition to the official road being covered with gravel or bluestone slabs, which did not affect the marching, the entire muddy Zhongzhou Plain was completely unable to march. Even Ma Sifeng's cavalry division could only change to the official road because it was impossible to march in the wilderness.

Maybe if Xue Rong waits for another two days, the situation will improve after she gets dry, but Meng Hu can't wait, and the Tiger Legion can't wait, they have to race against time.

“Well…”

Meng Hu looked up at the clear sky, and gently yelled at the dark clouds under his crotch.

Qi Diaozi followed up, while using his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his forehead. The weather was indeed very strange. It was cold a few days ago and the water dripped into ice. But within a few days, the temperature rose sharply. After a few hours of marching under the sun, it was so hot that it was sweating.

"General, this will not work."

Qi Diaozi looked back at the soldiers of the Tiger Legion who were marching with "heavy" and said worriedly, "The army carried a lot of food and supplies. Now, coupled with the large number of rare treasures captured from the Mingyue Palace, it has seriously affected the speed of our army's marching. This morning, I have been running less than thirty miles!"

"yes."

Meng Hushen agreed, "This speed is indeed not good. Not only can we not be able to get rid of the pursuers behind us, but we may also be able to catch up with them. If we really want the Mingyue reinforcements from both north and south to catch up, we will be in great trouble! Don't be surrounded by others in the end under Hu Xiao Pass, that will become a huge joke!"

Qi Diaozi said sternly: "General, according to the meaning of the humble official, all the rare treasures and excess food, grass and supplies were thrown away. All the soldiers only carried rations for ten days to move forward lightly and seize the Tiger Furious Pass! As long as they seize the Tiger Furious Pass, they can respond to Mengyan's middle army to the east, and to the south, they can respond to the South wing army of Chongshan, and we will take the strategic initiative!"

Meng Hu frowned and said, "But these rare treasures are priceless. If they can be transported back to Xiling and sold, they will be enough to recruit and arm the two legions. It would be a pity to throw them away like this!"

Qi Diaozi said anxiously: "General, you can still rob the rare treasures after you throw them away, but if the army is gone, then nothing will be gone."

"I know this." Meng Hu nodded and said solemnly, "If you have treasures, you will lose all treasures. If you have treasures, you will lose all treasures. If you have treasures, you will have treasures. Don't worry, Lao Qi, I will not make such a low-level mistake!"

Qi Diaozi breathed a sigh of relief and said with great confidence: "General's clarity."

Meng Hu turned his head accidentally and suddenly found two majestic mountains on the right side of the official road. There was a canyon in the mountains. The valley was lush with trees and fog. He subconsciously asked: "What kind of mountain is that right? The valley among the two mountains is a good place for ambush soldiers. I am afraid that it will be difficult for people to discover the ambush soldiers by ambushing 100,000 soldiers."

Jia Wudao, who was on the other side, quickly took out the map from his arms, looked at the map for a long time before finding the place, and replied: "It should be Shuanglong Mountain, and the canyon in the middle is Panlong Valley."

"Panlong Valley?" Meng Hu thought for a moment, turned around and shouted, "Zhang Xingba!"

Zhang Xingba rushed forward and replied with a fist, "What are the general's instructions?"

Meng Hu said: "Immediately bring people to transport the treasures that have been captured to the valley in front to bury them. The location should be hidden and must not be discovered by others, but you must also have a good mark so that we can find them when we come back to pick them up in the future."
