Chapter 222: Excellent Military Commander

On the southern foot of Dahuang Mountain, a deep valley.

The more than 2,000 barbarians and more than 500 military craftsmen led by Xiong Batian lurked in the deep dense forest. After leaving Maoshan that day, Jia Wudao led the more than 2,000 people to the north day and night. After three days of rushing marches, he finally entered the depths of the Great Wilderness Mountain from Hulukou and lurked in this hidden valley.

Now, Jia Wudao and the others have been hiding in the valley for two days, and it has been five days since they left Maoshan.

In the past two days, Jia Wudao sent a large number of secret sentries to closely observe the movement within a radius of dozens of miles, while patiently waiting for Meng Hu to meet. In Jia Wudao's estimate, at most three days, Meng Hu would definitely come to meet, then climb over the Great Wilderness Mountain and enter the southern desert grassland, and then turn east to the Great Wilderness.

However, beyond Jia Wudao's expectations, the first thing he waited for was not Meng Hu, but Yue Meng's army!

At noon that day, Jia Wudao was gnawing dry food in the mountain stream. Because he was worried that he would not dare to make fire to make rice because he was worried that he would not dare to make fire to make rice. So these days, Jia Wudao and all the barbarians and military craftsmen could only eat dry food in cold water. As soon as Jia Wudao swallowed the fried noodles, he saw Xiong Batian’s figure coming to the front in a hurry.

Xiong Batian strode to Jia Wudao and said in a hunch: "Military advisor, just received a report from a secret whistle, and a large number of Middle-Turkish troops were found outside the mountain pass!"

"A large number of Middle-Turkish troops?" Jia Wudao's face changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "How many troops are there?"

Xiong Batian responded in a deep voice: "There are at least 20,000 people."

"Cabin or infantry?"

"Most of them are infantry, only a small number of cavalry."

"Oops!"

Jia Wudao's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed, and he said in a narrow voice, "Most of Ma Sifeng's Northern Army are cavalry, but most of this army is infantry. It can be seen that either Yue Meng's army or Li Yu's army. Now there is a big trouble. If it is Ma Sifeng's Northern Army, there may be room for recovery, but now..."

"whispering sound."

Xiong Batian sneered disapprovingly, "No matter whether it is Yue Meng or Li Yu, just because of these more than 20,000 local chickens and dogs, I want to stop the general? It's simply a delusion!"

Jia Wudao frowned and said, "With the general's martial arts and ability, it's no problem to climb over a steep cliff. Of course, these 20,000 troops cannot stop him, but the 500 Guards of the Guards will find it difficult to cross the blockade of the 20,000 troops. But you also know the general's temper. He will never leave the soldiers of the Guards to break through the encirclement alone."

Xiong Batian suddenly changed his face and said suddenly: "What should I do?"

Jia Wudao looked at the towering mountains and steep mountains around him, and suddenly a ferocious murderous intent appeared on his face, and said in a deep voice: "The mountains are deep and dense. If these 20,000 pursuers dare to chase them into the mountains, we will set fire to the fire and burn the 20,000 pursuers to clear the road for the general."

Xiong Batian asked back, "Why don't the pursuers enter the mountain?"

Jia Wudao said in a deep voice: "Then let's keep our troops still and wait until the general arrives before making a decision."

Hulugu Pass.

“Well…”

Yue Meng gently pulled the reins and raised his right arm high, and the mount under his crotch immediately began to slow down.

Seeing Yue Meng's right arm raised, the generals at all levels accompanied him ordered the soldiers behind him to stop moving forward. In less than a meal, more than 20,000 troops set up a rigorous field formation outside the mountain pass.

Yue Meng raised his head slightly and looked at the layers of mountains and steep in front of him and was speechless.

A strange emotion echoed in Yue Meng's heart. Could it be that Yue Meng was destined to have an incomprehensible relationship with Hulu Valley? Half a year ago, it was in this Hulu Valley that Yue Meng burned the 100,000 wolf cavalry of the Galaxy Empire, and since then it became famous and famous all over the world. Today, half a year later, Yue Meng stood at the entrance of Hulu Valley again.

However, this time, what Yue Meng is going to face is not the stupid Xinghe people, but the notorious Meng Hu!

Amid the chaotic sound of horse hooves, Lei Chi, Wen Hu, Shan Qiu, Sha Polang, and Shi Tianzhu had already rode their horses behind Yue Meng. Yue Meng breathed a long sigh and put away the inexplicable emotions in his heart. Although Meng Hu was notorious, Yue Meng was definitely not an ordinary person. It would not be so easy for Meng Hu to move into the southern desert grassland.

Sha Polang, who was walking in the front, said in a muffled voice: "General, no rebels were found outside the mountain pass. It seems that they must have entered the depths of the Great Wilderness Mountain. Let's hurry up and chase. If the pursuit is too late, let these rebels slip into the southern desert grassland, it will be difficult to deal with."

Yue Meng smiled faintly and said, "The rebels can't escape, they hide in the mountains."

"Hey, the rebels are hiding in the mountains?" Sha Polang exclaimed in surprise and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Yue Meng said calmly: "Because they are waiting for others."

"Waiting for someone? Who are you waiting for?"

"Meng Hu!" Yue Meng replied confidently, "Before Meng Hu arrives, the rebels will not leave the Great Wilderness Mountain."

Shan Qiu nodded and said with concern: "This great barren mountain is deep and dense, stretching for hundreds of miles, and it is difficult to find millions of troops. It is not easy to find these few thousand rebels."

"We don't need to look for it."

A contemptuous smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Yue Meng's mouth, and he said calmly, "They will come to find us on their own initiative."

After saying this, Yue Meng turned around and ordered: "Send the order, the entire army will camp next to the mountain pass, set up five large villages in front, back, left and right, and form a supportive force to block the mountain pass. Even if it is a rat, it must not be allowed to enter the mountain."

Deep in the Great Wilderness Mountains, in the valley.

Xiong Batian came to Jia Wudao again and said in an inverted voice: "Military advisor, the Middle-Turkish army has not entered the mountain. It seems that they are planning to camp outside the mountain pass."

"Oh, is that?"

Jia Wudao's face suddenly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Let's go, take a look."

At that moment, Jia Wudao led Xiong Batian and dozens of barbarians to a towering lonely peak near the left. Standing on the top of the lonely peak and looking out the mountain, he saw dense flags floating outside the mountain pass, and thousands of soldiers were nervously cutting down trees to build camps. From a distance, he looked like countless busy ants.

Jia Wudao put on a tent and watched for a while, his face became more and more embarrassing.

Seeing that Jia Wudao's expression was different, Xiong Batian couldn't help but ask, "Military advisor, is there anything wrong with it?"

Jia Wudao said with concern: "The commander who pursues the soldiers in this road is not an ordinary person. The camp he has set up is divided into five large villages, front, back, left and right. They are both a supportive force and are stuck on the necessary path to enter the mountain. If the general wants to enter the mountain, he will break through three large villages in a row. If there is a slight stagnation in the middle, the troops of the left and right camps will crush them and fall into a siege."

"What's there?"

Xiong Batian disagreed, "In the battle of Tianlang Pass, the general forcibly defeated the Qingzhou elite soldiers of Situ Biao's entire division with the strength of a squadron. Even Situ Biao himself was cut off by the general. Can these 20,000 local chickens and tiles outside the mountain be stronger than Situ Biao's bright moon elite?"

“That’s different.”

Jia Wudao shook his head and said, "During the Battle of Tianlang Pass, the general still borrowed the nameless person. Situ Biao and Mingyue Empire Army were defeated by underestimating the enemy. Now the general's reputation has already spread throughout the Middle Earth world. The opponent's commander will never underestimate the enemy anymore. Moreover, during the Battle of Tianlang Pass, the general was backed by more than 20,000 troops of the Western Legion. But now, the general only has 500 brothers from the Guards by his side. It is really dangerous..."

"That's nothing. Then we will come out from behind the pursuers and catch him off guard, hehe."

Xiong Batian grinned and opened his mouth twice, revealing two rows of white teeth, which looked like a beast that was about to choose a person to eat.

"Oh." Jia Wudao sighed and said worriedly, "It's all that can be done now."

Seeing that Jia Wudao still looked worried, Xiong Batian was a little unhappy and said with a dark face: "Military advisor, the general is the leader of our Black Bear Tribe. If you don't believe in the general, you just don't believe in the warriors of our Black Bear Tribe, or you don't believe in the warriors of our Great Wilderness."

As he said that, Xiong Batian showed a cold murderous intent on his face, and he was very stunning to kill Jia Wudao with a disagreement.

Jia Wudao uh and said awkwardly: "General Batian, what are you doing? I am loyal to the general. When did you doubt the general's ability?"

"Then why are you talking so much?"

Xiong Batian's expression quickly calmed down and he said in a deep voice, "Just start killing me when the time comes."

Jia Wudao could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and there was no reason to say about a barbarian like Xiong Batian.

In a blink of an eye, another two days passed. The five hundred guards retreated north from the eastern foot of Wumeng Mountain, barely advanced to the southern foot of Dahuang Mountain, less than a hundred miles away from the Hulugu Pass.

In the past seven days, the five hundred guards were hiding out at night, and their whereabouts were vague, causing the horses behind them to be swept, and Li Yu's two pursuits were so dizzy that they were dizzy. After passing Maocheng, Meng Hu's strategic intentions were fully exposed, so he no longer hid his whereabouts and rushed to the mouth of Hulu Valley day and night.

At this time, Li Yu and Ma Sifeng's two pursuit soldiers were left far behind by Meng Hu.

Yue Meng was not unwilling to inform Li Yu. Ma Sifeng knew, but the two did not easily believe Yue Meng. After all, it was a big deal. Although the blame was not small, the Meng Hu rebels rushed into the capital and burned, killing and looting were even more serious. Out of caution, neither Li Yu nor Ma Sifeng acted rashly until they discovered the exact whereabouts of the guards led by Meng Hu did not dare to go north to pursue them with confidence.

But in this way, Li Yu and Ma Sifeng's two pursuit soldiers completely lost the opportunity.

At this moment, the five hundred guards led by Meng Hu were hiding on the reed beach of Xiaogu River, making the final preparations before entering the mountain.

On the way north, Meng Hu only found two pursuers, Li Yu and Ma Sifeng, but did not find Yue Meng's pursuit. The experienced Meng Hu realized that the big thing was wonderful. Although there was no exact source of information, his experience in fighting on the battlefield for many years and fighting for the rest of his life told him that whenever he faced such a situation, he had to make the worst plan!

Meng Hu must make the least plan, which is to fight a tough battle with Yue Meng's pursuers outside the entrance of Hulu Valley!

At this point, Meng Hu had no other choice. It was too late to change his strategy and go on another path, because judging from time to time, Jia Wudao, Xiong Batian and the others had already hidden in the depths of the Great Wilderness Mountain through the mouth of Hulu Valley. Meng Hu had to go into the mountain to meet them.

Otherwise, what would happen if Meng Hu successfully escaped into the Great Wilderness with the 500 Guards? Without the support of Xiong Batian and more than 2,000 barbarians, how could Meng Hu integrate the barbarians on the Great Wilderness?

Since we have to fight a tough battle, Meng Hu must not fail to make sufficient and careful arrangements.

If Yue Meng's army was really waiting outside the Hulu Valley, it also means that Yue Meng has seen through Meng Hu's strategic intentions. Therefore, no matter what arrangements Meng Hu makes, it will lose its strategic suddenness. However, losing its strategic suddenness does not mean losing its tactical suddenness.

Although Yue Meng knew that Meng Hu would go to the entrance of Hulu Valley, he didn't know when Meng Hu would appear, and it was even more impossible to predict what kind of assault method Meng Hu would take, whether it was a surprise attack? a strong attack? or a trick? In other words, when to fight and how to fight, the initiative is completely in Meng Hu's hands.

And this is Meng Hu's only remaining advantage, and he must make good use of it.

An excellent commander is often good at using all factors that are beneficial to him and bringing the effects of these factors to the extreme. Meng Hu is undoubtedly a very excellent military commander, and of course he is more proficient in this. At this moment, he already has a careful combat plan in his mind.

Hulugukou, Zhongjun Dazhai.

In the open space that accommodates thousands of people, thousands of Semitic soldiers had already lined up in a long queue and walked past the kitchen on the right. The chefs in the kitchen were busy distributing the steamed buns of jade flour to the soldiers lined up. Each soldier could also get a large bowl of steaming wild vegetable porridge.

Yue Meng, wearing gorgeous general armor, suddenly became involved in it.

Like all the Semitic soldiers, Yue Meng also held a big bowl of sea. When he passed by the kitchen, the chef stuffed three corn flour buns into his hand as usual and served him a large bowl of hot porridge. The treatment was no different from that of the Semitic soldiers. Whether it was the chef in the kitchen or the Semitic soldiers who lined up to receive the meals together, they ignored all this because they had long been used to it.

It is obvious that Yue Meng has remembered what Meng Hu said at the Royal Military Academy and regards this sentence as a classic of military governance. Yue Meng has truly shared joys and sorrows with ordinary soldiers and depended on each other in life and death. Meng Hu never expected that an inadvertent sentence at the time actually created an extremely terrible opponent.
