Chapter 15 Kill a Carbine
Hexi canyon, wilderness.
After breaking through the Mingyue Camp, Meng Hu immediately ran forward with two thousand light soldiers.
There was no moonlight, no starlight, and the four fields were pitch black, but the light soldiers of the Fifth Regiment were still running like flying. They were so familiar with the terrain here. For more than a month, they had been running back and forth in this wilderness, knowing everything about the grass, trees, ditch and valleys here.
There was a dead silence under the night sky, and only the rustling sounds of countless feet stepping on the ground can be clearly heard.
"Sir, look!" Dunzi's voice suddenly sounded from the darkness, "Enemy soldiers! The enemy soldiers are catching up!"
"Um!?"
In the darkness, Meng Hu suddenly turned around.
Thousands of burning torches have illuminated the wilderness outside the Mingyue camp as bright as day. Under the flames, the black Mingyue soldiers were surging out of the gate, like a rolling iron stream, chasing towards the direction of the Fifth Regiment. There are light infantry, archers, and even many heavy infantry in the Mingyue army!
Meng Hu roughly estimated that the army chased out had at least one and a half registrars!
The Mingyue General on the opposite side really respects the Fifth Regiment. In order to chase these two thousand light soldiers, he actually used a whole wing of light soldiers, plus at least two brigades of heavy infantry and at least one squadron of archers! What kind of damn lineup is this? If you really want to be caught up, just because of the two thousand light soldiers under Meng Hu, you will be beaten to pieces without a single squadron of squadron!
But then again, it would be a ghost to be able to catch up with Mingyue's pursuit. The 5th Regiment's 100-mile long-distance race in the past month was not in vain. Meng Hu dared not boast about anything else, but if you want to compare physical fitness, looking at the entire Middle Earth world, I am afraid that no army can be better than the 5th Regiment!
But is it really necessary to run away?
Before he knew it, Meng Hu changed from running all the way to trotting, and finally stopped.
Looking at the Mingyue Military Camp that had not yet subsided in the distance, Meng Hu's eyes narrowed slightly again, and suddenly, a thought flew across his mind like lightning!
Back at the horse!
Yes, kill him and shoot him back!
The Mingyue Empire Army dispatched nearly half of its troops to pursue the troops, and the troops left behind in the camp became relatively empty, which created conditions for the Fifth Regiment's raid again!
More importantly, less than half an hour ago, the Fifth Regiment had just broken out of Mingyue Camp. No matter how wise the opponent's main general was, he might not have thought that the Fifth Regiment could get rid of the pursuers so quickly and dared to launch a second raid in such a short time!
What is unexpected?
This is unexpected!
What is to attack him or her inadequately?
This is to attack him without any precaution!
Suddenly, a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of Meng Hu's mouth. He raised his right arm high and shouted sternly: "Stop moving forward!"
Meng Hu's military orders quickly spread throughout the army. The army that was still moving forward quickly stopped. Seeing that the team stopped leaving, the new recruit Danzidunzi couldn't help but approach Meng Hu and asked in confusion: "Sir, you're about to catch up with the enemy, why don't you run away?"
"Run?" Meng Hu smiled coldly and said with a grim voice, "Hehe, why do you want to run?"
After saying that, Meng Hu turned around and shouted: "Millet!"
The millet quickly stepped forward and replied: "Here!"
Meng Hu said: "You bring a squadron to continue walking forward and lead Mingyue's pursuers to Qingyun Mountain! Remember, don't let Mingyue's pursuers get too close, and don't pull people too far. From time to time, you have to make some noise, making it look like thousands of people marching. Do you understand?"
The millet responded with a loud bang: "I understand!"
Meng Hu waved his hand and said, "Go."
"Yes!" Ninzi agreed, turned around and shouted at the team leader behind him, "Take your people with you and follow me!"
Meng Hu ordered Dunzi again: "Immediately send an order for the entire army to disperse in a small team. When the pursuers are chasing far away, they will come back here to gather. Tell everyone that it is strictly forbidden to make loud noises when dispersing. It is best not to make any sounds, and do not have any contact with the pursuers. However, if there are disobediences, they will be killed immediately!"
"yes!"
Dunzi agreed and hurriedly sent an order.
Meng Hu then turned around and looked at Zhao Qinghan, and said in a cold tone: "You follow me, remember not to speak!"
After saying that, before Zhao Qinghan could make any statement, Meng Hu turned around and left.
Zhao Qinghan couldn't help but feel a little angry, thinking that if you are angry with Wu Junyi, you don't have to scatter on me? He turned around and waved to the Qingyi Guard behind him, and whispered: "Everyone holds hands and follows closely, don't fall behind, don't make loud noises, it's best not to make any sound."

Shortly after Meng Hu's two thousand men dispersed, Mingyue pursued troops arrived.
Tuoba Tao was anxious when he suddenly found that the army in front had stopped. He immediately rushed forward and asked, "What's going on? Why did you stop?"
The sweaty captain of the scout hurriedly came forward and whispered: "General, the enemy will be gone when they chased here."
"What did you say!" Tuoba Tao said with a fierce look when he heard this, and he said sternly, "Is the enemy missing?"
The scout officer did not dare to look at Tuoba Tao's swearing eyes and explained in a low voice: "The enemy did not use a torch at all, but marched in the dark. He could have relied on the footsteps of the enemy marching to judge their marching direction, but after arriving here, the footsteps of the enemy suddenly disappeared out of thin air, so..."
"Damn it, these local dogs actually marched in the dark. Could it be that they all had cat eyes?"
Tuoba Tao cursed fiercely. Looking around, he saw that the four fields were pitch black. Apart from the direction of the Mingyue Camp in the distance, you could see a little vague fire. There was no trace of fire in other directions. It was so dark that I knew where the enemy troops who broke through were escaping?
"Look! Even if you dig three times, you have to find these local dogs!"
Tuoba Tao roared angrily, and the general's intuition told him that he could not chase after him anymore, and something might happen if he pursued him any more!
But the cruel reality forced him not to give up. If Meng Hu was really in the enemy who broke through, if he was letting him run away, could Situ Rui spare him? Moreover, within a radius of 300 miles, except for the light infantry in the Hexi Fortress, there were no other troops from the Guanghui Empire. Tuoba Tao was not worried about ambushing him.
A scout rushed from the front and shouted with excitement: "Captain, the northeast direction heard the footsteps of the army marching, at least a thousand people!"
The captain of the scout was overjoyed and said to Tuoba Tao urgently: "General, the whereabouts of the enemy were found in the northeast direction!"
"What are you waiting for? Chase!" Tuoba Tao waved his hand and shouted sternly, "Choose quickly!"
With Tuoba Tao's order, Mingyue pursued the troops in the northeast, like wind storming the remaining clouds.
Until Mingyue pursued his troops left, he could no longer see any figures. Dozens of squads scattered in the wilderness emerged one after another. When Meng Hu led the Qingyiwei to the assembly site, the entire army had already gathered. In addition to the more than a hundred brothers who died in the battle during the breakout, and the two squadrons taken by Mianzi, none of them were missing!
Although I couldn't see the faces of the soldiers clearly, Meng Hu could hear their breathing.
Taking a deep breath of air conditioning, Meng Hu asked loudly: "Do you remember what you did when you left the city this time?"
"Remember! Saving people is here!"
The soldiers responded loudly.
"Yes, we are here to save people this time!" Meng Hu nodded and continued, "But just now, because of the situation, we did not rescue people. The people in the transportation team are still locked in Mingyue Military Camp. Do you think we can leave them alone?"
"cannot!"
The soldiers responded again.
This place is far enough from Mingyue Camp, and Meng Hu is not worried that Mingyue soldiers in the camp will hear it.
"What are you waiting for?" Meng Hu raised his big gun and said sternly, "Let's kill me and save people!"
"Yes, kill back!"
"Save people!"
"Our fifth wing will never leave any brother behind!"
The soldiers responded with a loud bang, followed Meng Hu, and rushed towards Mingyue Camp again.
Ng Junyi quietly approached Zhao Qinghan and asked in a low voice: "Sister Qinghan, is he crazy? He finally broke through the siege of Mingyue's army, and now he is going to take people back. Isn't this a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?"
"No, he's not crazy."
Zhao Qinghan shook her head and said in a narrow voice, "Although the Mingyue Empire Army has the advantage in this battle at Hexi Fortress, the final result is probably difficult to predict..."

Mingyue camp, central army tent.
The chief of staff said to the two aides standing beside him: "Are the fires in the right camp extinguished?"
One of the staff responded: "Sir, it has been extinguished."
"Are the bodies of the fallen soldiers also disposed of?"
"All have been cremated."
"Ha..." The chief of staff suddenly stretched and said with a tired face, "It's still a long time before dawn. Everyone should go back and make up for the night. Tomorrow, tomorrow dawn will have to continue to attack the city. Alas, I can't even sleep well. It's true..."
A staff member asked carefully: "Sir, do you want to strengthen your vigilance?"
The chief of staff said coldly: "Do you think it is necessary to strengthen the vigilance?"
"This..." said the staff member, "If this enemy attacks again..."
"Go." The chief of staff sneered, "Do you have some military knowledge? Have you heard of anyone being attacked twice in one night? Have you seen anyone being attacked twice in one night? What could not happen at all! Why mobilize the crowd and make everyone unable to sleep well?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes," another aide quickly flattered and said flatteringly, "The enemy thought we had just been attacked and would definitely strengthen the alertness, so they would never dare to come again. At least they would not dare to come tonight. Or yes, yes, yes, yes, yes..."
"Okay." The chief of staff said with a smile on his face, "You all go down, it's time for me to go back to the account and go to bed."
