Chapter 223: Getting killed after dismounted

Little Lone River Beach.

Zhang Xingba strode to Meng Hu, saluted first, and then shouted: "General, are you looking for me?"

Meng Hu muttered and replied, "You are here, I have two things to hand over to you."

As he said that, Meng Hu took out a letter from his arms, then took off the sword on his waist and handed it to Zhang Xingba. Zhang Xingba hesitated for a moment, and did not immediately reach out to pick it up, but asked in a hurry: "General, are you?"

Meng Huyangyang said in his hand: "This is my handwritten letter to Lao Jia, you must hand it over to him with your own hands."

Although Zhang Xingba was a rough man, he was not stupid. He vaguely heard Meng Hu's strings outside, and his face changed at that time. However, Meng Hu was too majestic and did not dare to ask questions.

Meng Hu clearly saw Zhang Xingba’s concerns, so he had to explain patiently: “Xingba, don’t think too much, I’m just in case.”

Zhang Xingba said oh, and had to take the letter.

Meng Hu stuffed the sword into Zhang Xingba's hand again, and then said, "If I and the brigade of troops are separated during the turn, the entire army will obey the order of the military advisor. Tell the military advisor that this sword means me. If anyone dares not obey his order, use this sword to chop off his head."

Zhang Xingba hesitated: "This...this..."

"What this is the military order." Meng Hu said in a deep voice, "Implement the military order!"

"yes!"

Zhang Xingba agreed with a loud bang and reached out to take Meng Hu's sword.

Meng Hu took a breath and whispered: "Send the order and let the brothers hurry up and rest, and set off in half an hour."

Hulugukou, Yuemeng Military Camp.

Sha Polang, who was left behind in the Central Army camp, walked to Yue Meng with a large bowl of hot porridge and squatted down. He asked in a low voice: "General, it's been two days, but there's still no news. Do you think the rebels have already rushed through the Hulu Valley in front of us? Otherwise, there should be news."

"impossible."

Yue Meng shook his head and said with great certainty, "The rebels cannot reach the gourd mouth from Wumeng Mountain in such a short time unless they can fly."

Sha Polang said: "Then why is there still no news?"

"Don't worry." Yue Meng said, "I guess it's only been two days, and Meng Hu's rebels will definitely appear."

Sha Polang thought for a while and said, "General, are you so sure that the rebels in Wumengshan were suspected to be led by Meng Hu himself?"

"This is without doubt." Yue Meng said solemnly, "Polang, have you heard of Meng Hu's military governance philosophy?"

Sha Polang nodded and said, "I have heard that it seems to be as solid as a rock. I will never give up. I will share life and death with each other, and I will never give up."

"Yes, as solid as a rock, never give up; share life and death, never give up!" Yue Meng said solemnly, "This is not just an empty slogan. Meng Hu said solemnly, and did so. Therefore, he would never hand over the suspicious soldiers going south to other generals to command, but he could only command himself!"

"Understood."

Sha Polang nodded and said solemnly, "General is saying that Meng Hu has truly shared life and death with the soldiers of the army. He will go wherever the hardest, and do whatever is the most dangerous. It is precisely because of this that his soldiers will sell their lives to him, without any ambiguity in water, fire, and oil pans under the knife mountain."

Yue Meng nodded and said, "That's the reason."

Sha Polang took a breath and looked at Yue Meng with an inexplicable look. After a long time, he suddenly said, "General, you actually did this too."

The night is dark and the stars are dim.

The Yuemeng Army camp outside the gourd was brightly lit, and hundreds of burning fat torches illuminated the five camps as bright as day. In the bright flames, teams of fully armed Shishima soldiers were patrolling back and forth. On the towering arrow towers, the guards were searching the dark wilderness around with vigilant eyes.

The night sky is silent and the cool breeze is like water.

Only the chirping sounds of summer insects and the coughing sounds of wind blowing over the grass can be heard faintly.

A team of cavalry holding torches suddenly passed by the wilderness outside the camp like a whirlwind. Amid the rapid sound of horse hooves, rolling smoke and dust gradually rose, and soon swept into the distance like a wind. Kuangye quickly returned to silence, and the rising smoke and dust gradually disappeared. Just as everything had recovered as before, a large group of black shadows flashed out of the darkness like ghosts.

With the faint moonlight, you can clearly see that it was a large group of fully armed cavalry.

Unfortunately, the patrolling cavalry had gone far away and did not notice the appearance of this large group of cavalry. The whistlemen in the camp in the distance could not be seen so far. The camp was silent, and most of the soldiers had entered a deep dream, not knowing that a large group of tigers and wolves were already eyeing them not far away.

This large group of cavalry is of course the 500 Guards led by Meng Hu.

When the sky was completely dark, Meng Hu led his army to leave Xiaogu River Beach. The entire army had more than 500 cavalry, all of them were covered with horses and covered with horse hooves. After two hours of marching, he finally arrived at the gourd mouth. Meng Hu's worries finally became a fact. Yue Meng's army indeed defended the necessary path.

Zhang Xingba took a breath and cursed with hatred: "Oh grandma, this little brat Yue Meng has such a real nose."

Meng Hu was also very grateful that he had already explained everything to Zhang Xingba before he set off. Otherwise, if he suddenly encountered the obstruction of Yue Mengjun, it would be really troublesome. Thinking of this, Meng Hu turned his head to Zhang Xingba: "Xingba, have I remember everything I said?"

Zhang Xingba said solemnly: "I have recorded it all."

"Okay." Meng Hu nodded and shouted, "Start the attack."

Hulukou’s army was in Dazhai, Yue Meng was in the tent.

Yue Meng was sitting and reading a military book. The Semitic general Sha Polang was pacing back and forth in the tent with a knife. Five other Semitic officers in heavy armor stood on both sides. The hungry wolf-like eyes were moving back and forth between Sha Polang and Yue Meng. The tent was terrifyingly quiet, and only the heavy footsteps of Sha Polang were clearly heard.

The five military camps outside the gourd mouth were already silent, as if the soldiers in the camp had fallen asleep. In fact, it was not the case at all. From the second day after the army set up camp, Yue Meng's work and schedule had completely reversed. During the day, the entire army hid in the tent and slept soundly. At night, they were fully armed and hid in the tent on standby.

Although Yue Meng has never fought with Meng Hu, he has heard of many classic examples of Meng Hu.

Yue Meng knew that Meng Hu was a god of war and was ruthless. He was not only good at fighting tough battles, but especially at night attacks. He expected that Meng Hu would choose to attack nightly this time. The reason was very simple, because the night attack was too beneficial to the sneak attackers, but it was a lot of disadvantages for the defensive parties.

Of course, Xu said again that not all troops have the ability to launch a night attack.

Night attacks have high requirements for the training, coordination, command, etc. If it were not for the elite troops who were well-trained and experienced in many battles, whether the entire team could be completed is a question, let alone the raid at night. However, the rebels under Meng Hu were a real tiger and wolf army, and they were fully capable of launching night attacks.

"Bang!"

The mutton fat torch in the big tent suddenly made a crisp sound. Yue Meng, who was concentrating on reading military books, looked up when he heard the sound. Sha Polang, who was paced back and forth, suddenly stopped. At this moment, a low and rapid horn sound suddenly sounded outside the tent, whimpering, whimpering, whimpering...

"Here I come, it must be Meng Hu's rebels!"

Sha Polang's eyes suddenly showed a violent beast-like sharp light, and he roared viciously.

The five Semitic officers on both sides immediately became excited, and they all tightened the swords on their hips. The knots of their hands and arms were already bulging with blue veins, like squirming green earthworms, which were hideous and terrifying.

"Go and see."

Yue Meng looked calm, his sleeves were gently brushed, and he stood up with a cool look. He went to the outsider of the tent first. Behind Yue Meng, Sha Polang and five Semitic generals followed closely.

Outside the big tent, the fierce battle has just begun.

On the arrow tower, the whistleman in charge of the alert puffed up his cheeks and was blowing the horn in his hand desperately. Not far away from him, two companions had fallen into a pool of blood. A carved feather arrow as thick as a thumb pierced through the throats of their two people. It was a magical skill.

"call out……"

Another harsh sound of breaking through the air pierced the night sky. When the cold light recognized it, there were already branches of carved feathers on the throat of the whistleman. The carved feathers at the tail of the arrow were still trembling gently in the night wind. The low horn sound stopped abruptly. The strong body of the whistleman twitched twice and fell from the high arrow tower.

"Boom boom!"

After two deafening loud noises, the fence on the right side of the arrow tower had fallen outwards.

The next moment, dozens or hundreds of cavalry had already swarmed in on the fallen fence. Not far away, more cavalry were rushing in like a tide, stepping on the fallen fence and rushing into the open camp. In less than a moment, three or four hundred cavalry had already rushed into the junction between the front camp and the right camp of Yuemeng Army.

Almost at the same time, there were bursts of shouts in the five major villages of Yue Meng's army. The next moment, countless fully armed Shishima soldiers rushed out of the tents, and then quickly formed small infantry defensive formations under the command of officers at all levels. In less than a moment, the five barracks were completely submerged by the vast ocean of Semitic elite soldiers.

The elite Semitic soldiers were prepared for a long time, but they were still not enough to block the assault of the cavalry.

If the defense of the Semitic elite soldiers is like a thick turtle shell, then the cavalry is like a sharp giant axe, which splits the thick turtle shell wildly and mercilessly penetrates the turtle's bones and blood. In an instant, the turtle's limbs were broken and blood was splattered...

The wilderness outside the camp.

Meng Hu held a heavy black iron spear and rode on the back of the horse covered with snow, quietly staring at the military camp ahead. Behind Meng Hu, there were more than a hundred elite cavalry guards standing quietly. Suddenly, a trace of inexplicable sneer quietly burst out from the corner of his mouth.

This little thing Yue Meng has made great progress. He actually calculated that he would launch a sneak attack at night and prepared in advance! It's not simple, it's not simple. In time, this kid will definitely grow into an excellent military commander and will also become his biggest concern for Meng Hu.

I can't say that I will solve this little guy on the battlefield today!

Yue Meng's army's central army in Dazhai, surrounded by Shapolang and five Semitic generals, Yue Meng climbed the towering watchtower. Standing on the high watchtower, all five large villages were in sight, and the movements of the cavalry that broke into Dazhai were also under the surveillance of Yue Meng and others.

"It's worthy of being Meng Hu."

Yue Meng could see Meng Hu's skill in using troops at a glance, pointing to the noisy battlefield not far away and said to Sha Polang and others, "Look, the part where the rebels broke into was exactly the junction between the Dazhai of the Front Army and the Dazhai of the Right Army, and it was also the weakest point of our army's defense. Meng Hu could find out the weakness of our army in such a dark sky and in such a short time. It was so amazing, how powerful."

Sha Polang said with a heavy emphasis: "Meng Hu's army was indeed not blown out. After only less than a cup of tea, the enemy broke through half of the barracks! Hey, if our army had not been prepared, the consequences would be unimaginable. Not to mention stopping others, maybe the whole army would be defeated."

Yue Meng suddenly sighed softly and said, "What a pity, what a pity."

Sha Polang was confused when he heard this, scratched his head and asked again: "General, what a pity?"

Yue Meng sighed again and said with some melancholy: "I was thinking that if I could learn how to use troops, train troops, and govern the army under Meng Hu's sect, I would definitely benefit a lot. Unfortunately, Meng Hu has become a rebellion of the empire. He and I are already in power and fire. It is impossible for such an opportunity."

Sha Polang smashed his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to persuade Yue Meng.

At this time, a powerful general of the Semitic clan behind Sha Polang suddenly said: "General, the rebels' offensive is very fierce. They are about to pass through the junction between the Dazhai of the Front Army and the Dazhai of the Right Army. Should we mobilize the troops of the Dazhai of the Central Army and the Dazhai of the Left Army to intercept and encircle?"

"No hurry." Yue Meng shook his head and said, "This is just the outpost of the rebels. The central and left armies must not act rashly."

"The outpost of the rebels?"

Sha Polang said in surprise, "Didn't the general say that the suspicious soldiers going south will not exceed 500 cavalry at most? But now there are at least three or four hundred cavalry rebels who break into the camp. They are clearly the main force of the rebels, so how could they be the outpost of the rebels?"

Yue Meng smiled faintly and said, "We must not judge Meng Hu by common sense. Others often use few sentries and many main soldiers. However, Meng Hu always uses troops unexpectedly. This is the reason for others, but it may not be like this. In short, I am sure that Meng Hu will never be in this rebel army."

Sha Polang said, "Then where will he be?"

Yue Meng suddenly looked up, looked at the dark wilderness in the distance, and said in an inexplicable tone: "It should be hiding nearby."

Sha Polang thought for a while and said, "Then call Wenhu's rear army to intercept it, otherwise this group of rebels might really break through our army's interception and escape into the gourd entrance."

"The rear army cannot move."

Yue Meng shook his head and said, "Don't forget that the main force of the rebels is hidden in the Great Wilderness Mountains, and it may suddenly come out at any time. If the rear army moves, our army may fall into a desperate situation of being attacked from both sides, and the situation will be lingering."
