Hexi Canyon, on the desolate river beach.

More than 4,000 heavy infantrymen of the Mingyue Imperial Army were lined up into a thick circular defensive array, protecting all the food, supplies and siege equipment in the array, like a heavy turtle shell slowly squirming westward. Heavy infantry is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of maneuver power than light infantry. There are only two ways to avoid being attacked by light infantry.

Or abandon all the food and supplies, take off the heavy armor on your body, and run away with light clothes.

Or, it is to set up the turtle shell array and retreat slowly.

Of course, the Mingyue Empire Army was unwilling to abandon food, grass, equipment and baggage armor. No matter what, the enemy was facing less than 2,000 light infantry. If it was a head-on decisive battle, the enemy would be vulnerable at all! Nearly 5,000 heavy infantry were forced to escape with light clothes by less than 2,000 light infantry, which would definitely become the laughing stock of the entire Middle Earth world and even shame the entire empire!

Not far behind the Mingyue Army, more than a thousand soldiers from the Tiger Regiment were following the west side without any speed. The two armies were very close to each other and almost got together. Those who didn't know thought they were cutting off the rear of the Mingyue Empire Army.

Of course, the Tigers were not cutting off the rear for Mingyue’s army. They were wolves and came to eat sheep!

Without warning, a small group of archers flashed out of the Tigers. With the sound of shaking bowstrings, a wave of arrows had fallen from the sky. A scream suddenly sounded from the Mingyue Empire Army. Dozens of soldiers were already injured. Although Mingyue heavy soldiers had strong armor protection, they were inevitably injured when they were shot at the close range of the longbow.

After all, this is not the crude short bow used by the barbarians on the Great Northern Wilderness, but an infantry longbow made of yew and beef tendon! Such an infantry longbow is enough to shoot through the strongest breastplate within fifty steps, and even at the limit range of three hundred steps, it still has considerable lethality.

The only thing that is thankful is that the Tigers are not well-trained archers, but just a group of light infantry who have just picked up their longbows. Their archery skills are really bad. If they are all sharpshooters like Meng Hu, then these more than 4,000 bright moon heavy soldiers will not be able to return to Qingzhou alive.

The center of the turtle shell formation of the bright moon army.

Hearing the screams from the back formation, the chief of staff's face twitched violently. The despicable behavior of the Tiger United fully demonstrated how annoying flies are!

The Mingyue Empire Army has not driven away these flies. When the Tiger Regiment just followed, the Mingyue Empire Army divided its troops to drive them away three times, but the result was very miserable. The first two times returned without success, and the third time it was because it chased far away, the heavy infantry of a squadron escaped alive.

After that, the Mingyue Empire Army no longer dared to divide its troops to drive away.

Although a fly is annoying, it won't be killed by being bitten by it, but if you attack rashly, you may be gnawed to the point where your bones are left.

The sun was empty. Half a day passed, and the Mingyue Empire Army had only walked less than twenty miles west, and was exhausted. It was undoubtedly a great energy and energy marching under high tension and high alert.

The chief of staff had to order the marching to stop and bury the pot and cook rice on the spot.

Seeing that the Mingyue Empire Army stopped moving forward, the Tigers that were originally following closely also stopped moving forward. They seemed to be hungry, so they picked up firewood and set up a bonfire, and seemed to be ready for lunch.

But soon, the chief of staff discovered that he was wrong.

After only less than a cup of tea, the sharp whistle suddenly sounded, and the "flies" who had just scattered on the river beach quickly began to gather, and then the endless sound of horns also sounded, and the air was soon filled with the smell of killing and blood.

The enemy's large-scale attack was imminent, and the chief of staff did not dare to neglect it. He urgently ordered the stop making food, and the entire army immediately gathered to prepare to face the enemy.

Amid the endless sound of horns, the Mingyue Empire Army, which had no armor, quickly completed the assembly and was ready for battle.

A stick of incense has passed...

A cup of tea passed...

The time of a meal has passed...

Time passed quietly in hunger, but the group of annoying flies had no movement, just kept blowing the horn. Just as all the soldiers of the Mingyue Empire could not help but curse, the horn suddenly stopped, and the group of annoying flies scattered again, lying or sitting on the river beach, and basking in the sun lazily.

A false alarm, the chief of staff breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the entire army to rest and prepare for meals.

With a command, the Mingyue army, which was waiting for battle, dispersed one after another, and sat around the stove in groups.

However, as soon as the water in the pot boiled, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the distance. The flies scattered on the river beach began to gather again. The chief of staff still did not dare to be careless, so he had to order the entire army to gather again and prepare to face the enemy.

Then it was still like that just now. These annoying flies just blew trumpets, gathered, bluffed for a long time and then stopped.

The chief of staff was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but had no choice but to order a rest again.

The rice was just finished, and when the Mingyue Empire Army was about to eat, the whistle and horn sounded for the third time. This time the chief of staff ignored it, but this time the flies came to the real world. With the sound of footsteps like the shaking of the mountains, more than 1,500 light soldiers from the Tiger Regiment swept across with the momentum of crushing everything!

In broad daylight, under the bright world, the Mingyue Empire Army was caught off guard!

In a hurry to fight, the Mingyue Empire Army suffered a small loss, with few casualties, and the accompanying army's supplies and equipment were burned by a lot of torches thrown in. The chief of staff was both ashamed and angry, and almost vomited blood on the spot. He was attacked openly in broad daylight, saying that no one would believe it, this person was greatly lost!

After extinguishing the fire, when the Mingyue Empire Army was preparing to eat again, the sound of whistles and horns in the distance sounded for the fourth time.

This time, the chief of staff finally learned his lesson. Although he had never encountered an opponent like Meng Hu in previous wars, nor had he encountered such despicable and shameless tactics, he still summarized a response in time. More than 4,000 Mingyue heavy troops were divided into two groups, one group of alerts, one group of rest and one group of rest and meals, and then rotated.

In the distance, in front of the Tigers United.

Seeing the Mingyue Imperial Army responding in this way, Meng Hu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and sneered: "It seems that the guy on the other side is not a fool. He thought of a solution so quickly."

Dunzi came up and asked, "Sir, will you attack this time?"

Meng Hu shook his head and said, "The enemy is already prepared, and if you attack again, you won't get any advantage."

Dunzi scratched his head and asked, "Then let it go?"

"Forget it?" Meng Hu said with a grim smile, "It's not that easy! It's during the day, wait until the night to deal with them!"

▲▲▲

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

Mingyue Army was staying in the camp, and the chief of staff was taking his subordinates and several brigade leaders to inspect the camp.

When passing an arrow tower, the chief of staff looked up at the whistleman and reminded: "You must be vigilant at night and never take it lightly!"

The whistleman raised his chest and replied, "Please let it go...uh!"

"call out!"

Before the whistleman finished speaking, a shrill roar swept into the air. A cold light flashed, and a feather arrow shot through his head and shot through his cheeks. A red blood bead quietly slid down the cold cluster of arrows. The whistleman's originally bright eyes suddenly became dull, and his strong body shook twice, and fell from the arrow tower.

“Woo woo woo woo…”

The next moment, the endless sound of horns sounded from outside the camp, and even the sound of footsteps swept towards the camp.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy troops attack the camp!"

"The whole army gathers!"

"Prepare to face the enemy!"

The chief of staff screamed in a sarcastic voice, and a clamor sounded in the camp. The heavy infantrymen who had not yet unloaded their armor quickly turned over and got up again, picked up their swords, shields or spears rushed out of the camp, and then gathered together, and entered the back of the simple fence as quickly as possible to start arraying.

The Mingyue army was barely in place, but the sound of footsteps and horns outside the camp suddenly stopped without warning.

The night sky was silent, only the sound of trumpets in the Mingyue Camp and the breathing of the Mingyue soldiers were clearly audible. The enemy troops that should have appeared did not even see a shadow.

"Swish!"

Two more shrill sounds of breaking through the air passed by. Two soldiers holding torches fell to the ground. The Mingyue Empire soldiers next to them looked back suddenly and saw that there was a ferocious feather arrow in their throats. Red blood slowly moistened out from their throats. Their limbs were still twitching gently, but they were not alive.

"call out!"

Another sound of breaking through the air, and another soldier holding a torch fell to the ground.

All the soldiers of the Mingyue Empire were shocked. Dozens of soldiers who also held torches immediately squatted down. The shield soldiers who were originally guarding the fence quickly approached and built a solid shield wall with huge shields. The soldiers holding the torches were protected, but the light inside and outside the camp immediately dimmed.

The tide-like footsteps sounded again, sweeping towards the camp.

At some point, the tide-like footsteps suddenly stopped, followed by a harsh roar, as if countless sharp weapons were tearing the air and flying at an extremely fast speed!

"Pilot!"

"It's a gun!"

"The oar and shield soldiers, where did the oar and shield soldiers go..."

He is worthy of being a veteran of Mingyue who has experienced many battles. He can tell by just his voice that he was throwing a gun and began to shout shrillly.

The shot was indeed a gun shot! Hundreds of gun shots were piled up from the air with a sharp scream. At this time, the Lu Shield soldiers retreated to protect the torch. The Mingyue Empire Army guarding the front row lost the protection of the Lu Shield and was immediately shot. The tragic wailing sounded in an instant, and more than a hundred soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

"Back, back!"

The chief of staff, wearing heavy armor, looked panicked and hid under the protection of the oar shield and said loudly, "Put the torch on the fence, stay away from the fence, don't get close!"

All the soldiers of the Mingyue Empire retreated, and a large open space suddenly appeared behind the simple fence.

Only dozens of pine-rein torches inserted diagonally on the fence were still burning, and a faint light illuminated the inside and outside the fence. The soldiers of the Mingyue Empire stared at the outside of the fence, breathing heavily, and their eyes were filled with fear. These veterans who had been through many battles actually felt inexplicable fear!

"instigate!"

With a sound of breaking through the air, a faintly burning torch was suddenly shot to the ground and was quickly extinguished.

"So!"

Two more sounds of breaking through the air, and two more torches were shot to the ground.

"So soo soo..."
