Hexi Fortress, on the watchtower.

"Hu Zi, look!" The thunder that had been looking at the east sky suddenly cried out, "Firelight!"

Meng Hu suddenly turned around and looked towards the east sky in the direction of Lei Ming's fingers. Sure enough, he saw a faint red light rising from behind the endless Qingyun Mountains in the distance. However, because they were too far apart, the red light seemed very weak and could not be seen without careful observation.

With a light sigh, Meng Hu sighed: "It seems that the Mingyue Empire Army has taken action!"

Lei Ming suddenly clenched his iron fist and said in a narrow voice: "Huzi, it's our turn to launch an attack now!"

"Yes." Meng Hu said with a heavy head, "Let's take action separately."

After saying that, Meng Hu turned around and left.

Watching Meng Hu's figure sink into the shadow, Lei Ming's face suddenly became particularly solemn. His big hand, like a palm fan, had already clenched into two iron fists as big as a bowl, and waved viciously towards the Mingyue Camp, which was still pitch black outside the pass. Lei Ming roared from the depths of his throat: Situ Rui, you are dead!

Mingyue camp, central army tent.

Situ Rui opened his hands and said to the guard captain who was standing on the side: "Come on, remove my armor for me!"

"yes."

The captain of the guard responded and quickly came over to remove Situ Rui's armor.

Du Yu next to him took two steps forward and asked in a low voice while helping to remove his armor: "Governor, do you really want to go on stage to beat the drum?"

"Haha." Situ Rui smiled and said, "Do you think I am old and can't even beat the war drum?"

"Of course not." Du Yu said hurriedly, "I am just worried about the cold weather. If adults get cold..."

"Don't worry," Situ Rui said, "I am not old enough to that extent."

As he was speaking, Situ Rui's armor had been removed, and the guard captain went to the side to get the battle robe that Situ Rui usually wore to put on him. This was a set of Mingyue battle robe that was so ordinary that it was bright moon, with black linen cloth and pudding on it. You could tell at a glance that it was a bit old.

Du Yu's eyes couldn't help but feel wet. Although Situ Rui was the governor of Qingzhou, he clearly lived the life of ordinary soldiers. Regardless of clothing, food, and housing, Situ Rui was no different from ordinary soldiers in the Qingzhou Legion. A saying that Situ Rui often said was: I don't know the food and clothing of ordinary soldiers, how do I know their physical strength? I don't know the suffering of ordinary soldiers, how do I know their morale?

Situ Rui wrapped his battle robe tightly and smiled at Du Yu, "Where is Du Yu? Does this governor look like a veteran?"

Du Yu turned around quietly, then raised his head slightly. If he didn't do this, he was afraid that he would be unable to control himself from crying.

"Walk!"

Situ Rui rolled up his sleeves, waved his hand and said loudly, "The decisive battle over there has begun. When this governor beats the war drums and cheers for the soldiers of the empire!"

Hexi Fortress.

Seeing thunder, Bai Xi, who was leading his troops to dig the wall, quickly trotted up to him, clasped his fists and bowed, "I'm not here to see the general."

"Um."

Lei Ming waved his hand and asked in a deep voice, "How is the wall dug up?"

A hint of shame flashed across Bai Xi's face and replied, "I am ashamed of humbleness, because time is too tight, I have only opened the wall less than two hundred steps wide."

After saying that, Bai Xi pointed behind him.

Behind Bai Xi, the originally solid wall had been completely hollowed out from the bottom, forming a large hole about two meters high, with a depth of almost penetrating the entire wall and a width of about two hundred steps. If it weren't for the support of thousands of wood of all sizes underneath, the entire wall would have definitely fallen inward.

"Um."

Lei Ming nodded and said in a deep voice, "No need to dig anymore, let the brothers gather immediately!"

"yes!"

Bai Xi agreed and took the order to gather the army.

Almost Bai Xi's light army regiment had just been assembled, and three heavy infantry regiments of Huang Ren, He Qing and Zhou Jin also drove to the wall to close the wall, gathered and stood on standby in the open space dozens of steps away from the wall. Immediately afterwards, Zhao Qinghan's Qingyi Guard and the cavalry regiment of Zhanying also arrived.

However, at this moment, half of the cavalry corps of War Eagle had become infantry, because half of the war horses had been picked up by Meng Hu and formed his heavy armored cavalry.

"General Thunder."

Zhao Qinghan rushed to Lei Ming, pointed to the wall that was almost dug down with his hand, and asked in confusion, "Why has this wall been digged? Didn't the Mingyue Empire army collapse with a catapult? And now the Mingyue Empire army has not launched an attack, so why do we have to gather troops instead? Are we going to break through?"

Lei Ming remained silent.

Zhao Qinghan didn't know that Zhao Yue had led the army, nor did she know that Zhao Yue's army was besieged by the Mingyue Empire not far away, nor did she know that the Fourth Division was about to take advantage of the situation to break through. From the beginning, Zhao Qinghan was Lei Ming, a chess piece used by Meng Hu to force Zhao Yue, and she was kept in the dark about almost everything.

After a while, Lei Ming smiled bitterly to Zhao Qinghan and said with apologetically: "I'm sorry Miss Qinghan, I can't tell you anything now."

“Huh?”

Zhao Qinghan's beautiful eyes instantly condensed, and for no reason, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

A strange sound suddenly came from behind. Zhao Qinghan seemed to feel something. When he looked back quickly, he saw a group of cavalry wrapped in thick armor, including his men and horses, slowly coming out of the shadow. The iron hooves of the cavalry were obviously wrapped in cotton cloth, knocking on the ground of the blue sky stone slab, and making only a very light sound.

"This is……"

Zhao Qinghan opened her mouth wide in surprise and ate, "Heavy Armored Iron Cavalry!"

Not only was Zhao Qinghan surprised, but almost everyone was shocked by the scene he saw. The heavy armored iron cavalry is the most sharp army on this continent, and there is almost nothing to stop their crazy collision!

But it is obvious that the cavalry in front of you is definitely a inferior heavy armored iron cavalry!

The armor on the cavalry is used for infantry, not the entire breastplate used for knights. The war horses under their crotch are only covered with armor on the neck of the horse that is most vulnerable to attack and impact. And at a glance, you can tell that this armor was removed from the infantry armor and connected randomly.

Looking at this extremely strange army, a hint of mockery appeared on the corner of Zhanying's mouth.

Is a group of local buns who have never ridden a horse, wearing armor and standing on the back of a horse, a knight?

This idea is too naive! Although the horses of the cavalry corps are all strictly trained military horses, even those who have never ridden a horse can easily ride them and will not be frightened when they go to the battlefield, but the absence of a problem with the horse does not mean that the cavalry on the horse will not have any problems. When the horses charge forward, these local buns will be thrown to the ground like clowns...

"Does... really want to break through?"

Zhao Qinghan couldn't help but murmur. She recognized Meng Hu at a glance, and was the figure as majestic as a mountain when she rode her horse in front of the cavalry.

With more than 20,000 eyes, Meng Hu slowly came to Lei Ming's side. His left hand, which was originally controlling the reins, suddenly raised it in the air. The cavalry slowly following behind him stopped one after another. However, after all, it was not a well-trained cavalry, and he was far from able to move neatly. There was even a small riot in the middle.

Seeing this scene, Zhan Ying wanted to laugh, but found that he couldn't laugh no matter how hard he did!

War Eagle was frightened to find that these crazy guys clearly tied themselves to the horse's back. Not only did each cavalry's legs have been tied to the front and back bridges of the saddle at each waist! Even if these crazy guys died in battle, the war horses under their crotch would still continue to rush forward with their bodies!

Zhan Ying couldn't help but give Meng Hu a terrifying glance. He didn't expect Meng Hu to come up with such a desperate plan!

This method is cruel and vicious. Doing so will almost tie the fate of the cavalry and the war horses together. The chance of death will be greatly increased, but at the same time it is also very effective. As long as these guys do not fall off the horse's back, the well-trained war horses do not even need to be controlled, they will instinctively carry them towards the enemy formation!

Amid the sound of the metal friction of the clear Yue Yue, Meng Hu and the more than 2,000 "heavy armored iron cavalry" behind him reached out and slowly lifted up the armor, revealing their cold and almost distorted faces.

Meng Hu slowly turned around and the eyes of more than two thousand "heavy armored iron cavalry" were instantly focused on him.

Meeting those young faces and those pairs of scorching eyes, Meng Hu said in a low tone: "Brothers, I don't want to, and I can't lie to you. There will be an extremely fierce battle tonight! Many of us, perhaps even all, will die in this cold land!"

The night sky was silent and silent, and almost all the soldiers who heard Meng Hu's speech held their breath.

Zhao Qinghan, who was listening, felt her nose sore and quickly turned her face.

Zhao Qinghan seemed to see the tragic scene of these "cavalry soldiers" fighting against the enemy on the battlefield. They fell one after another, but the remaining soldiers still rushed forward fearlessly. Although they were just the most ordinary imperial soldiers, they were the most respectable warriors and real warriors!

"I, your sir, cannot give you the promise of survival now!"

Meng Hu's cold and almost cruel voice rolled and stirred under the night sky, and it was clearly heard even though it was a hundred steps away. "But I can guarantee you with my life that the Tigers will never easily abandon the hope of survival. I will also swear to the sky in the name of the Goddess of Light and never give up any brother or any comrade-in-arms!"

"Never abandon it!"

"Never give up!"
