Hexi Fortress.

The moon is in the sky, and Meng Hu stands solemnly like a cold statue on the top of the city.

The north wind was like a knife, swaying the thin battle robe on Meng Hu's body, and the sound of the cold and lonely figure made people unable to help but think of the lonely wolf wandering alone in the desolate desert under the bright moon...

The sound of light footsteps suddenly sounded from behind.

Meng Hu turned around suddenly. Zhao Qinghan's graceful figure had already walked out of the shadow of the city. He stopped when he was two steps away from Meng Hu. A faint fragrance was sent into Meng Hu's nose with the wind. A faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Meng Hu's mouth. He was now a little impressed at Zhao Qinghan.

"Meng...hu, don't you mind if I call your name?"

Under the quiet night sky, Zhao Qinghan's voice sounded like the sound of nature.

"Of course I don't mind." Meng Hu smiled faintly and continued, "I'm just calling me a name."

"Meng Hu, what were you thinking by yourself just now?"

When Zhao Qinghan called Meng Hu again, it seemed much more natural.

A hint of loneliness suddenly appeared on Meng Hu's face, and he said sadly: "I'm thinking about my hometown."

"I think... your hometown must be beautiful."

Zhao Qinghan tilted her head slightly, and her golden hair fell down her cheeks like waves. The side outline of her delicate face showed a thrilling beauty under the moonlight.

“Yes, my hometown is indeed beautiful.”

Meng Hu suddenly sighed and said in an extremely lonely tone, "It's a pity that I can never go back."

"Why do you say that?" Zhao Qinghan looked at Meng Hu in confusion and asked, "When you defeat the Mingyue Empire Army, can you take leave and return home?"

"Oh, you won't understand even if you tell you."

Meng Hu sighed again, and a faint loneliness flashed through his black eyes, and an inexplicable desolation frozen at the corner of his mouth.

For no reason, Zhao Qinghan suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart. At this time, Meng Hu showed a completely different side in front of her. In addition to being cold, passionate and ferocious, this man actually had a tender side.

“Woo…”

Just as Zhao Qinghan was about to comfort her softly, a distant and low horn sound suddenly sounded under the dark sky in the east.

As soon as the trumpet sounded, the soldiers lying on the city tower immediately turned over and got up, grabbed the weapons placed beside them as fast as possible, and then rushed to the back of the pile like a swarm. The cruel war is always the most training man. After these days of continuous fierce battles, these new recruits have long grown into real veterans.

A loud thunder sounded not far away: "Huzi, the sound of the horn came from the east!"

"Yes." Meng Hu focused his head and said in a low voice, "What is coming should not be the army of the Mingyue Empire!"

A hint of joy suddenly surged in Zhao Qinghan's beautiful eyes and said, "It must be the reinforcements sent by his father to arrive!"

“Woo…”

“Woo woo…”

“Woo woo woo woo…”

As Zhao Qinghan finished speaking, the continuous sound of horns sounded from the eastern sky. Although it was still far away, the soldiers guarding the city still clearly felt the cold and murderous aura from the continuous sound of horns. There was absolutely no mistake. This was indeed the reinforcements of the Guanghui Empire!

Outside the fortress, the originally quiet wilderness suddenly began to stir up.

One after another, torches ignited like ghosts in the night sky, and soon illuminated the wilderness outside the pass as bright as day. The bright moon cavalry, who had been hidden in the dark, immediately appeared under the bright fire light. In the endless sound of horse neighing, the slashing sabers were unsheathed, and a dazzling cold light was reflected under the light of the fire.

Lei Ming heard the information he wanted from the endless sound of the horns and said to Meng Hu excitedly: "Huzi, here, all are here! The other four regiments of our Fourth Division, including three heavy infantry regiments, have all come up! Hahaha, all are here, and the system of our Fourth Division is finally intact!"

Lei Ming had no reason not to be excited. Zhao Yue finally did not give up and sent the other four regiments that should belong to the Fourth Division. Until now, Lei Ming is a real division commander!

But Meng Hu couldn't get excited at all. The reason why Zhao Yue did not give up on Hexi Fortress and the Tigers United was entirely because Zhao Qinghan was here. Zhao Yue really cared about the only one of him, the precious daughter! Meng Hu couldn't help but look back at Zhao Qinghan, and Zhao Qinghan also looked at him. The two of them were in the air. Zhao Qinghan smiled and was born with charm.

"Huzi, start the team right away!"

Lei Ming was already overwhelmed with excitement, "Prepare to come out of seclusion to pick them up!"

Although the cavalry of the Mingyue Empire outside the pass has a large number of troops, and conservatively estimated that it is more than 50,000 cavalry in two divisions, it is impossible for them to prevent the four infantry registrars from entering the pass, because there are three heavy infantry registrars in the four infantry registrars to aid, and the spearmen among the heavy infantry are the natural nemesis of the light cavalry!

Light cavalry can stagnate and harass the marching of heavy infantry, but cannot stop the advance of heavy infantry.

After all, light cavalry is just light cavalry. In addition to being a little stronger than light infantry, its attack power and defense power are not much better than light infantry. Therefore, in the Middle Earth world, the status of light cavalry is actually more awkward than that of light infantry, because the logistics pressure of light cavalry is much greater than that of light infantry.

Bingzhou of the Mingyue Empire, as well as the northern provinces of the Guanghui Empire, and the northeastern provinces have established light cavalry, but this is not because of how strong the light cavalry is, but to fight against the galaxy empire in the north and the barbarians on the Great Wilderness, because the galaxy empire is a famous country of cavalry, while the barbarians are completely nomads living on horseback.

Amid the endless sound of horns, a flash of light and flickering fire appeared ghostly from the endless darkness in the distance. Then, soon, more firelight appeared from the darkness, and quickly expanded and extended toward the two wings like ghost fire, and finally formed a long dragon dancing with fire.

In the fire, thousands of heavy infantrymen of the Glorious Empire lined up in neat rows and slowly crushed towards the Hexi Fortress in neat steps.

Countless iron armors collided with each other, loud and loud, countless pairs of combat boots trampled ruthlessly on the ground, and countless cherry-red tassels swaying in the flames in the wind, and the cold and solemn aura spread endlessly between the sky and the earth. Even if it is more than ten miles away, you can clearly feel it.

This is the heavy infantry. If the heavy armored iron cavalry is the sharpest heavy spear in the world, then the heavy armored infantry is the strongest shield in the world!

Unless the light cavalry of the Mingyue Empire adopts endless harassment battles like the Menghu United, they will never want to tear open the turtle shell formation of the heavy infantry of the Guanghui Empire!

But now, whether it is time or space, the light cavalry of the Mingyue Empire does not have the conditions to carry out harassment wars, so they cannot stop the advance of the heavy infantry of the Guanghui Empire. The light cavalry of the Mingyue Empire only launched several tentative harassments. After being frustrated, they decisively gave up the blocking and opened their way to allow reinforcements of the Guanghui Empire to enter the pass calmly.

Half an hour later, when the first white fish was revealed in the eastern sky, the last team of Glorious Imperial Army who came to reinforce the army also entered the pass calmly. Under the threat of more than a thousand "archers" in the closed, the light cavalry of the Mingyue Imperial Army did not dare to get close to harassment, and could only watch the heavy closing door slowly close.

More than two hours later, the army of more than 200,000 Mingyue led by Situ Rui also arrived.

Yao Mingyuan and Qin Qi rode to Situ Rui's chariot, turned over and dismounted, clasped their fists to Situ Rui and said, "I am in charge of the Governor."

"Forget it." Situ Rui waved his hand and asked calmly, "What's the situation in Hexi Fortress? Didn't the defenders retreat, right?"

"There is no withdrawal."

Yao Mingyuan responded with shame, "But when dawn was approaching, about 20,000 Guangxi Imperial Army arrived to reinforce, at least half of the heavy infantry were incompetent, and they were unable to stop them and let them enter the gates."

“Huh?”

Situ Rui couldn't help but turn around and exchanged a shocked look with Chief of Staff Du Yu.

Du Yu said in disbelief: "What happened? Could it be that Zhao Yue changed his temperament? With his mind, it seems that he shouldn't have done such abnormal behavior. It's not in line with common sense, too unreasonable!"

Situ Rui's right hand gently tapped the guardrail of the chariot one after another, and fell into a brief meditation.

Du Yu immediately closed his mouth. He knew that he would never disturb Situ Rui's thinking at this time. Yao Mingyuan and Qin Qi were temporarily transferred from the Bingzhou Legion. They didn't know Situ Rui's habits. When they were about to speak again, they were stopped by Du Yu's wink.

After a full incense stick, Situ Rui breathed a long sigh and said in a calm voice: "There must be articles in it!"

Du Yu asked softly: "Sir, should you attack the Hexi Fortress immediately?"

"Don't worry."

Situ Rui waved his hand and said thoughtfully, "If there were less than 5,000 light troops in Hexi Fortress, our army could conquer it with just one fierce attack. But now there are 20,000 reinforcements, including at least 10,000 heavy infantry. It is impossible to conquer it in a short period of time, so we won't fight for this moment."

Du Yu suddenly said, "That adult means..."

"Yes." Situ Rui said with a heavy emphasis, "First find out why Zhao Yue changed his style!"

With decades of experience in fighting on the battlefield and the intuition of an excellent commander, Situ Rui has keenly smelled the breath of opportunity from the strange air around him. The rest depends on whether he can capture this fleeting fighter opportunity.
