The foothills of Qingyun Mountain, valleys.

At noon, Mianzi also brought his people to meet.

At this time, all the soldiers who broke through were sitting around the fire eating dry food. The air was filled with the fragrance of roasted corn flour, rice and steamed buns. People were iron rice and steel. No matter how strong an army was, they could not fight against the enemy hungry. Meng Hu was good at using troops and was even better at leading troops. Of course, he would not let his soldiers go to the battlefield hungry.

Zhao Qinghan and her Qingyiwei were finally driven away, and this burden was removed.

Meng Hu was not worried about their safety. After all, this place was the border of the Glorious Empire. As long as they were not idiots, they would never be captured by the Mingyue army.

The injured soldiers have also been placed in a secret place, with Qingyun Mountains high and dense forests stretching for hundreds of miles, and it is absolutely safe there, but Meng Hu still left a small team of troops to protect them.

Just after lunch, a sharp whistle gathered the soldiers again.

Meng Hu stood in front of the formation with a cold expression, his eyes swept across the soldiers' faces like a knife, and a trace of undetectable cold flashed through his eyes. Although the two sneak attacks last night severely damaged the Mingyue Empire Army and seized thousands of longbows, the price paid by the Fifth Regiment was really not small.

During the second raid, more than 400 soldiers who followed Meng Hu to attack the Central Army camp were injured and half of them were injured. What made Meng Hu feel particularly distressed was that there were dozens of veterans who followed the Tiger Squadron. These veterans crawled out of the dead, and each of them was good. Death could make Meng Hu heartbroken for a long time.

The morale of the soldiers was very good, and the eyes of Meng Hu were still so fanatic and so intense.

The soldiers' fanaticism is justified. A light soldier with less than 2,000 people can rush around in the camp guarded by the enemy's heavy troops, come and go freely, and kill two in and two out, causing major damage to the enemy. Not everyone can defeat such a record! At least in the western provinces, I have never heard of anyone doing it.

Meeting the fanatical eyes of the soldiers of the entire army, Meng Hu asked, "Are you tired?"

“Not tired!”

The soldiers of the entire army responded with a loud bang.

Meng Hu nodded with satisfaction. His spirit was a little bit like that. It seemed that after three consecutive fierce battles, these new recruits had grown vigorously. From now on, they have grown into true veterans. However, they are still far from the standard of elite soldiers in a hundred battles.

"Last night, we couldn't save the transport team."

When saying this, Meng Hu's tone was a little solemn, and the soldiers also looked ashamed.

But soon, Meng Hu's tone changed and became excited, and he shouted loudly: "But we have tried our best! Moreover, if we cannot save last night, it does not mean that we can't save it tonight. Even if we still cannot save it tonight, there is still tomorrow night. As long as the people in our Fifth United are not dead, we will never give up saving people, and we will never give up!!!"

"Never give up!"

"Never give up!"

"Never give up!"

The soldiers responded with a loud bang, and the sound shook the sky.

Meng Hu waved his hand, and the soldiers' roars stopped abruptly.

Taking a deep breath, Meng Hu said loudly: "It seems that there is only one way to rescue the people in the transportation team, that is, to defeat the army of the Mingyue Empire! But the Mingyue army has 20,000 people, but we now have only more than 1,500 people, and the troops vary greatly. How do you think we should fight this battle?"

The vast majority of soldiers looked confused, and it was obvious that they had not learned to think.

Dunzi, who was standing in the front row, suddenly waved his fists and roared: "Fight with his mother, fight each one!"

"Yes, let's fight!"

"Fight one to make money, fight two to make money!"

"A person dies and his eggs are facing the sky, I'm afraid he's not going to be so bad!"

Many soldiers immediately echoed loudly.

"You stupid sheep!" Meng Hu sniffed his face and scolded sternly, "Shut up to me!"

The noise of the soldiers stopped abruptly.

Meng Hu glared at Dunzi fiercely and said sternly: "You can't do recklessly in saving people, and you can't fight randomly in wars. Even if you want to fight with the enemy, you have to pay attention to the method! This officer tells you that from ancient times to the present, there is always only one truth that cannot be broken on the battlefield, that is... kill the enemy and protect yourself!"

The opportunity was rare, Meng Hu decided to teach these big-headed soldiers a tactical theory lesson.

As an excellent commander, you should not only know how to use troops, but also know how to train generals!

The so-called training of generals means training small soldiers and pawns step by step into excellent generals!

In the eyes of the powerful people in the Middle Earth, the big-headed soldiers who came from poor origins could not read a few words, were rude and vulgar, and were by no means a general. Therefore, the military academies of major empires almost never recruited civilian students from poor origins, and there were few senior generals from poor origins in the armies of major empires.

But in Meng Hu's opinion, these soldiers from poor backgrounds are the best candidates for generals, far more qualified to become excellent generals than those noble children who have been frugal since childhood and have grown up in the pile of makeup.

Compared with the noble children who are surrounded by and protected by heavy troops, these big-headed soldiers from poor backgrounds have more advantages, because these soldiers are always fighting in bloody storms and struggling on the brink of death at all times. The truly outstanding generals are all fought from actual combat, not from reading!

"There are more enemies than us and stronger than us. How can we kill them and protect ourselves?"

Meng Hu said and pointed to his head, then said, "You have to think of ways and use your brain!"

"Sir, I have a way!"

As Meng Hu finished speaking, a slightly thin soldier suddenly raised his hand and shouted.

"Very good." Meng Hu nodded and shouted: "Tell me, what are your mistakes?"

The soldier said, "We can dig a big trap in Qingyun Mountain, and then lead the enemy troops over, and wait until they fall into the trap before slowly cleaning them up!"

Meng Hu nodded and asked, "What's your name?"

The soldier said, "Leopard."

Meng Hu looked at Leopard's thin body and asked, "Leopard, how old are you?"

The leopard replied embarrassedly: "Sixteen."

"sixteen!?"

A trace of splendor flashed through Meng Hu's eyes. This little guy is only sixteen years old and is so thin, but he can gain a foothold in the fifth team where tigers and wolves make a nest. This is very difficult. What's even more rare is that he can use his brain and is easier to go on the road than other soldiers. If he trains it well, it will not be difficult to become an excellent general in time.

"Very good, the leopard is thinking very well!"

Meng Hu threw an encouraging glance at the leopard and continued, "However, it is too late to dig a trap now, and we can't dig such a big trap. We have to put all the 20,000 Mingyue army in. How big is this trap?"

The leopard scratched his head and lowered his head a little embarrassedly.

Back to the topic, Meng Hu said loudly: "Some people say that light infantry can't defeat heavy infantry at all, and light infantry in front of heavy infantry is a scumbag. I'm wrong! Some people say that the advantage of military strength determines everything. Those with fewer military strength will definitely not defeat those with more military strength. I say this is simply fart!"

"Who stipulates that light infantry cannot defeat heavy infantry? Who stipulates that few soldiers cannot win battles?"

"The heavy infantry is powerful, the enemy has a lot of troops. We can't fight against them when we fight hard, but they also have weaknesses! As long as we fight according to their weaknesses, we can still beat them down!"

"What are the weaknesses of heavy infantry?"

"There are too many! They are clumsy, move slowly, rely too much on formation, and need light infantry to protect their wings..."

"So many weaknesses, just catch them, will be enough to kill them!"

"What are the weaknesses of the Mingyue Empire Army?"

"Although their light soldiers are numerous, they can't beat us!"

"Although their heavy troops are powerful, they can't escape us!"

"Their archers are terrible, but they have already been killed by us!"

"We must wander around them like wolves. When they are tired and tired, relax their vigilance, they will pounce on him and bite him hard. When they set up their formation to fight back, we will leave quickly, and then continue to wander around them, waiting for the next opportunity..."

"In the end, drag them to death, get exhausted, and then bite them to death!"

Mingyue camp, central army tent.

Tuoba Tao was closing his eyes to rest, and the chief of staff asked carefully: "General, is it time to attack the city in the afternoon?"

"No hurry." Tuoba Tao suddenly opened his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Don't hurry to attack the city, let the soldiers take full advantage of their strength."

There is indeed no hurry to do this. Situ Rui originally gave Tuoba Tao a five-day deadline.

More importantly, Meng Hu has led his army to break out. If he now captures the Hexi Fortress and Meng Hu loses his bond, he leads his army to retreat in a large-scale manner? How can Tuoba Tao explain to Situ Rui if he can't get Meng Hu's head? What else can Situ Rui use to pay tribute to Situ Biao's undead?

After pondering for a while, Tuoba Tao suddenly asked, "What did you say that Meng Hu broke through with two thousand people?"

The chief of staff smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "This matter is too contrary to common sense and is difficult to understand. However, Meng Hu's unreasonable breakthrough suddenly made you passive. The Governor only gave a five-day deadline. Within five days, our army must take down the Hexi Fortress. But once the Hexi Fortress is captured, Meng Hu will definitely run away. This is really a dilemma."

"It's not difficult for this matter." Tuoba Tao shook his head and said, "Hexi Fortress is a small matter, and catching Meng Hu is the most important thing!"

The chief of staff smiled bitterly and said, "What if Meng Hu had already run away?"

"No." Tuoba Tao shook his head and said, "He didn't run away, he just hid in the nearby Qingyun Mountain!"

The chief of staff said again: "If he keeps hiding and refuses to show up, how can we catch him?"

"Then force him out." Tuoba Tao said, "If Meng Hu has not appeared yet after tonight, then attack the city. I don't believe he can hide forever!"

“Woo woo woo woo…”

As Tuoba Tao finished speaking, a long and distant horn sounded suddenly outside the tent.

The chief of staff changed his face and said in a deep voice: "The sound of the horn comes from the northeast, not from the Hexi Fortress."

"General, the enemy attack!" As soon as the chief of staff finished speaking, Tuoba Tao's guard captain had already hurriedly entered the tent and clasped his fists and said, "A team of Glorious Imperial Army is approaching our army's camp!"
