Qingyun Mountain, a deep valley.

Meng Hu sat cross-legged in the burning bonfire, then stripped off the broken armor and battle robe on his body. Three wounds on his chest that were deep enough to reach bones were exposed. The flesh of the wound rolled up to both sides, and dark red bloodshots were still oozing out in the middle, and the situation was extremely hideous and terrifying.

Silently carrying a piece of dead branches into his mouth, Meng Hu pulled out a piece of burning firewood from the fire, and poked it on the wound on his chest without hesitation. A sizzling sound suddenly sounded under the night sky. Meng Hu's brows frowned, and a stinking smell of flesh and blood was clearly smelled in his nose.

After a while, Meng Hu threw the extinguished firewood into the fire and then pulled out another firewood from it.

After a full meal, three hideous wounds were completely scorched by firewood. Meng Hu's dead branches in his mouth finally fell to the ground with a loud bang, and he lay back weakly and fell to the ground.

“Hululu…”

A low horse neigh suddenly came into my ears, Meng Hu couldn't help but turn his head, and Junmei's figure appeared in Meng Hu's sight.

A faint smile suddenly rose from Meng Hu's mouth. This "dark cloud covers snow" is really a BMW. Not only is it extremely fast, it can jump through ordinary gullies and valleys. What's even more rare is that this horse is extremely spiritual. It only needs to lift the reins or gently squeeze the horse's belly, and it can understand the intention of the knight, so it is very labor-saving to control it.

Then Meng Hu remembered the original owner of "Dark Clouds Covering Snow", the general Mingyue who died at his hands!

Speaking of which, the general Mingyue died unjustly. His martial arts were definitely not inferior to Meng Hu. His mental strength might even be superior to Meng Hu, but his luck was really bad. He ran into Meng Hu, who had extremely rich experience in close physical gain. Moreover, Meng Hu was in a desperate situation at that time, but he was trapped by Meng Hu and was still fighting and killed by dangerous gains.

Meng Hu's eyes fell on the spear that was snatched from the enemy general again. The black spear was quietly poking on the ground not far from Meng Yuan. Suddenly, Meng Hu's heart moved. The form of this spear is very similar to Situ Biao's two spears. Could it be that there is any connection with Situ Biao?

▲▲▲

Meng Hu was not wrong. The enemy general Mingyue who was lucky enough to kill by him did have a lot of connection with Situ Biao. Even his martial arts were taught by Situ Biao, because the general Mingyue was Situ Biao's nephew, Situ Rui's only son, and the fiancé of Qiu Yutang, the third princess of the Mingyue Empire - Situ Hao!

At this moment, in the wilderness in front of the bright moon camp.

The bodies of Situ Hao and Du Yu were placed side by side in front of Situ Rui. Not far from the two corpses, countless firewood had been piled into a large pile of firewood more than ten feet in the square. The piles were filled with the bodies of fallen soldiers, including the Mingyue Empire Army and the Guanghui Empire Army. They fought to the death during their lifetime, but after their death they lay quietly together.

A team of monks with the army were gathering together, singing a sorrowful elegy in a low voice to comfort the dead, letting them forget their hatred, letting them go to heaven with their lives, and holy souls. Tens of thousands of bright moon troops were lying piously behind Situ Rui, singing in a low voice. The sorrowful singing came far and far under the night sky, as if the heavenly sounds from heaven.

When the first dawn rose in the eastern sky, the funeral was finally completed, and an elderly monk walked to Situ Rui in a staggering manner with a torch in his hand.

Situ Rui slowly stood up and took the torch from the monk.

Four guards walked up with a solemn expression and tried to carry Situ Hao and Du Yu's bodies away, Situ Rui suddenly raised his hand to stop him and said, "Please wait a moment..."

The guards carried the body and turned around and looked at Situ Rui with a little bit of silence.

Situ Rui took two steps forward, stood gently beside Situ Hao's corpse, then stretched out his trembling left hand and gently stroked Situ Hao's young face. Situ Hao smiled, as if he was just asleep. Unstoppable, two drops of turbid tears had already slid down Situ Rui's old cheeks.

Seeing this, the older monk thought Situ Rui had changed his mind and stepped forward again to persuade: "Governor General, the prince consort is the princess' fiancé after all, and his status is special. Will it be cremated separately..."

"No."

Situ Rui shook his head and said in an old voice, "Although Situ Hao is the fiancé of His Royal Highness the Princess, he is also the man of our Situ family. The man of our Situ family should abide by the Situ family's ancestral teachings. Since he was killed in the battlefield, he should be cremated with the fallen soldiers and his soul will return to heaven..."

Situ Rui waved his hand, and the guards carried Situ Hao and Du Yu's bodies forward several steps and placed them on the pile of firewood. Situ Rui shook his hand and threw the torch in his hand on the pile of firewood. The pile of firewood that had been poured over the tinder oil burned up. The rolled flames quickly swallowed the corpse stacked on the pile of firewood.

When he turned around again, Situ Rui had completely recovered from his coldness and shouted in a deep voice: "Send the order, the soldiers will be sent to the Soul-Broken Valley!"

▲▲▲

Soul-breaking valley.

The three main divisions of the Western Legion were completely in desperate situations. There were steep cliffs on both sides and in front of them, and it was difficult to cross the people. The only entrance had been completely blocked by more than 200,000 Mingyue Imperial Army. Zhao Yue organized several breakthroughs, but they were all ruthlessly blocked by Mingyue Imperial Army.

The only thing that is thankful is that no grass grows in the Soul-Breaking Valley, so the Mingyue Empire Army cannot carry out fire attacks. The tragedy of the Desperate Valley will not happen again. The followers' baggage and food are also there. Although they cannot break out, it seems that it will not be a problem to stay for a while, but soon, a very serious problem arises, and there is no water in the Soul-Breaking Valley!

I can still be cooked for seven days without food, but if I don’t drink it, I will definitely not last for three days!

Looking at the scorching sun rising from the east sky, Zhao Yue felt miserable. He knew very well that the Western Legion was doomed this time, but he did not regret it. If things could be done again, he would still bring the army to save Hexi Fortress without hesitation. His only regret was that he failed to rescue his precious daughter Zhao Qinghan.

Zhao Yue, who was trapped in the Soul-Breaking Valley, did not know that Zhao Qinghan had already broken through with the 4th Division's troops, but Zhao Qinghan's current situation was not good. There were less than fifty cavalry left by the Qingyiwei beside her, and not far behind, there were at least four or five hundred Mingyue Light Cavalry chasing them.

Last night, Meng Hu temporarily pieced together the "heavy armored cavalry" caught the Mingyue Empire Army off guard. Lei Ming led a large group of troops from the Fourth Division to break through. Zhao Qinghan's Qingyi Guard and Zhanying's cavalry gang also successfully broke through. After breaking through, Lei Ming led four or five hundred cavalry including Duzi to rescue Meng Hu. The team was temporarily led by Huang Ren, the captain of the First Heavy Infantry Regiment, and turned towards Sanjiang City.

Shortly after the division of the troops, the brigade of Mingyue Cavalry chased after. After Yao Mingyuan and Qin Qi's two light cavalry divisions completed the coordinated combat mission, they followed the order of Situ Rui's army to chase and kill the main force of the breaking Fourth Division. Situ Rui was skillful in using troops, so of course they would not easily let go of the main force of the fourth division that broke through.

Huang Ren made a quick decision and decided to retreat separately while the night was shining.

Although the separate operation will cause the Fourth Division to collapse, now, one can only escape and count.

Huang Ren's decision was undoubtedly correct. On the vast Sanjiang Plain, the two legs of a human being could not outperform the four legs of a war horse. He set up a dense defense formation and slowly retreated, or squeezed together to escape, and he would die. Only by breaking through the night can he escape the pursuit of Mingyue Light Cavalry by chance.
