Chapter 256: Defeat each

In Yexiongtan, the central army's tent, Meng Huzheng and Jia Wudao secretly discussed.

The 60,000 coalition forces of all races in the Great Wilderness have been assembled, and they can go to the battlefield immediately after Meng Hu's order. Although these 60,000 cavalry have been reorganized by Meng Hu, only 40,000 cavalry are equipped with new weapons and new armor. The remaining 20,000 cavalry are still using the original simple short bow scimitar, and their combat power is relatively limited.

The enemy's forces are powerful and the strategic policies for each defeat have been determined long ago. Meng Hu is not stupid, so he cannot make a foolish decision to divide his troops into two groups and resist the enemy outside the country. After all, the Great Wilderness is too big, and it is a desolate Gobi Desert, which has no value in defending the death.

There is no objection to choosing the Galaxy Imperial Army as the first target to start.

After all, the Galaxy Empire Army has relatively few troops, and Meng Hu also knew that Feng Qingyang, who was ordered to go to the Great Wilderness this time, was promoted to the prince of the southern part of the Galaxy Empire not long ago. Most of the 100,000 elite cavalry in the Monan King's Court were burned by Yue Meng in Hulu Valley, so the combat effectiveness of the cavalry that was formed this time is questionable.

Although the Galaxy Empire is based on nomadicism, even if the herdsmen have been able to hunt cavalry since childhood, it still takes a long time to train a herdsman to become a qualified soldier. There is still a big difference between herdsmen and soldiers in essence, especially in terms of the strength of the executive commander's military order, which is more obvious.

However, how to attack the Galaxy Imperial Army has become a difficult problem.

Jia Wudao looked at the map for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "General, this matter is very difficult to deal with. The 100,000 Galaxy Imperial Army was firmly embraced by a group of people, like a curled hedgehog, making people unable to get down. What's more serious is that there are desolate Gobi Deserts along the way. We just want to ambush and can't find a place."

"That's not necessarily." Meng Hu reached out and took a heavy shot on the map, saying, "I see that we can ambush the 100,000 troops here!"

"Wushaoyuan?" Jia Wudao said in surprise, "How is this possible?"

Meng Hu asked back: "Why is it impossible?"

Jia Wudao shook his head and said, "Wushaoyuan is an endless plateau terrain. There are neither dense forests nor clusters of artemisia. Not to mention the army of 100,000, even if more than a dozen cavalrymen appear there, they can be seen clearly dozens of miles away."

"That's right." Meng Hu said with a grim smile, "Precisely because Wushao seems impossible to ambush, the chief general of the Galaxy Imperial Army never expected that we would ambush there. Then this battle was very sudden. The Galaxy Imperial Army was destined to suffer a great loss when it was caught off guard."

"Uh..." Jia Wudao said in surprise, "The general is really going to roar the original ambush? But how can it be achieved?"

Meng Hu stomped the ground under his feet and said grimly: "There is no forest or Haoyuan on the Wushayuan, is there no earth? We can completely hide the army under the ground! After the Galaxy Empire Army enters the ambush circle, we will suddenly come out and catch them off guard."

Jia Wudao suddenly looked excited, and then shook his head and said, "But if you want to accommodate 100,000 cavalry, how many holes do you have to dig? Is it time to go? After all, the Galaxy Empire Army and the Glorious Empire Army are almost at the edge of the Great Wilderness. At fast as half a month, or a month later, you will definitely reach Yexiong Beach. Moreover, how can the general ensure that the Galaxy Empire Army will definitely pass through the Wushayuan?"

Meng Hu asked back without answering: "Old Jia, do you still remember that there is a natural earthen platform to the east of Wushayuan?"

"Of course I remember, hiss..." Jia Wudao said with a hint of it, "General, do you want to use this earthen platform..."

…………

In a blink of an eye, another half month passed, and the two armies of the Glorious Empire and the Galaxy Empire finally arrived at the Great Wilderness and were attacking north and south to crush the Wild Bear Beach in a fierce manner.

Although the Galaxy Imperial Army on the north road was repeatedly resisted by barbarians along the way, these resistances seemed soft and powerless, and they did not delay the speed of the Galaxy Imperial Army's advancement at all. The Galaxy Imperial Army was progressing smoothly. Judging from the map, it would take at least half a month to reach Wild Bear Beach.

However, Feng Qingyang, the prince of the Southern Army, faintly felt a little uneasy. He said that the barbarians are now under Meng Hu's leadership. With Meng Hu's overwhelming power, it seems that they should not be so easy to deal with. Could it be that there is still a trap hidden here?

Feng Qingyang rode his horse to the imperial princess Qin Xian, and said with his fists: "Your Highness, I always feel that things are abnormal."

Qin Xian is the eldest daughter of Qin Lan, the emperor of the Galaxy Empire, and the legitimate sister of the late Crown Prince Qin Changwei, and his status is naturally extremely noble. His princess inherited his mother's excellent genes well. His delicate body is slender and provoked, and his icy skin and beautiful face are as delicate as flowers. He is full of beauty.

It is said that Qiu Yutang, the auxiliary prince of the Moon Empire, has sent envoys to marry Princess Qinxian as the empress of the young Emperor of the Mingyue Empire, His Majesty Qiuye. Emperor Xinghe Empire Qin Lan is said to have some intentions. He just waited for the expedition to the Great Wilderness to be over, and the two families would officially marry.

After hearing Feng Qingyang's words, Qin Xian asked with a smile: "I wonder what suspicious Uncle Feng has found?"

Feng Qingyang frowned and pondered: "The barbarians' resistance is too weak. I think it is a bit abnormal. And did your Highness discover that the barbarians and our army are about to leave along the way, and they will never be in love with the battle. They look like they are leading us forward."

Qin Xian nodded gently and said, "Xian'er also feels this way."

Feng Qingyang followed the trend and said, "The army will stop in the future, please make a decision."

Qin Xian shook his head gently and said, "Uncle Feng, you are the chief general of the Imperial Expeditionary Force. Xian'er is just a side general who is led by a member of your command. Therefore, you can make your own decisions on all the marching matters. The only thing is that if the generals of the two royal legions do not obey the orders, you just give orders to Xian'er."

Feng Qingyang was immediately moved after hearing this. He had heard that this princess was quite elegant. In terms of demeanor and temperament, he was even far above the late Prince. It was a pity that he was a daughter. Otherwise, if the empire had this crown prince, it would be difficult for the Galaxy Empire to not be strong in the next fifty years.

Feng Qingyang said at the moment: "Your Highness, I want to change the route of the marching and change to the Wushayuan in the south. There are two benefits to doing this. First, it is closer to the Guanghui Empire Army on the South Road, which is convenient for coordinated combat. Second, Yehuyuan is an endless plateau terrain, and it is impossible to ambush the troops, so it is more worry-free to walk from here."

Qin Xian smiled and said, "Uncle Feng ordered, all Xian'er obeyed."

"Okay." Feng Qingyang smiled at the sky for three long laughs, then rode his horse away. In less than a moment, the military orders of changing the route southward to Wuxiaoyuan spread throughout the entire army.

…………

The Galaxy Imperial Army on the North Road was progressing smoothly, but the Guanghui Imperial Army on the South Road was very unsuccessful, and it was simply difficult to move forward.

Under the instruction of the Imperial Marshal Yue Meng, three cavalry divisions and one Glorious Knights took the banner of six divisions and two Knights, and then widened the distance between the teams and set up their feet to advance towards the Great Wilderness. Yue Meng's intention was not uncommon. He wanted to deliberately create the illusion of the power of the Glorious Imperial Army and lead the barbarians or Meng Hu, the disaster to the Galaxy Imperial Army.

It has to be said that Yue Meng's bluff still worked.

Due to the lack of information sources, Meng Hu and Jia Wudao eventually fell into the trap. According to Yue Meng's expectations, they chose the Galaxy Imperial Army as the target to be defeated first.

However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Although Yue Meng's bluff successfully led the disaster to the Galaxy Imperial Army, it also brought endless harassment to the Guanghui Imperial Army, and this was not ordinary harassment.

Almost immediately the moment the Glorious Empire Army entered the Great Wilderness, a erratic barbarian cavalry appeared on the flank of the Glorious Empire Army. The whereabouts of this barbarian cavalry were very erratic and had very barbaric and weird fighting methods. They never had direct contact with the Glorious Empire Army, but every time they appeared, they could cause great damage to the Glorious Empire Army!

At first, the cavalry team sent out to patrol and investigate suffered misfortune. Yue Meng sent a squad of cavalry to sweep the surroundings several times. In the end, not only did not wipe out the barbarian cavalry, but the barbarian cavalry in turn annihilated several squadrons of cavalry. Yue Meng was shocked and set up traps to try to lure the barbarian cavalry into the ambush circle, but he was repeatedly disappointed. The barbarian cavalry seemed to have become a spirit and did not jump into the trap at all.

Then, the barbarian cavalry began to attack the Guanghui Empire in the darkness.

Often when the horn sounds, hundreds of barbarian cavalry will emerge from the endless darkness like ghosts. Many soldiers of the Guanghui Empire Army have died tragically under the enemy's sabre before they even got up. This has been repeated several times, making the soldiers of the Guanghui Empire Army nervous. When camping at night, the soldiers on the outer side dare not sleep.

So the army's marching speed inevitably slowed down, and Yue Meng was helpless. He had tried all the ways he could think of, but he still had no choice but to use this barbarian cavalry. In a vague sense, Yue Meng also felt that the leading general of this barbarian cavalry must be Meng Hu, otherwise it would not be so difficult.

Yue Meng really guessed it right. The leading general of this barbarian partial division was indeed Meng Hu.

In order to ensure the victory of the Wusha Ambush Battle and the safety of the old camp of Yexiongtan, Meng Hu decided to personally lead 2,000 cavalry to restrain the Guanghui Empire Army. The purpose of this trip was to delay the speed of the Guanghui Empire Army as much as possible. Before the Wusha Ambush Battle was victorious, the Guanghui Empire Army must not be allowed to approach Yexiongtan.
