Chapter 193: Never abandon, seven battles and seven victories (Part 1)

"The evil thief looks at the knife!"

Luo Yurou even got angry and urged her horse to rush towards Zhang Xingba.

Not far away, Luo Ningyan looked back and said to the two sisters: "No, the little sister was hit by the enemy's aggressive plan. Now she is in a mess. She may suffer a loss later. Second sister and third sister, you are ready to go out to support us at any time."

Luo Ningyu and Luo Yumei pulled the armor down at the same time, nodded gently and said, "Yes."

In front of the two armies, Zhang Xingba urged the horse to advance quickly and immediately met Luo Yurou in person.

"Ha ha!"

"snort!"

Two loud laughs and one soft hum.

The two iron halberds in Zhang Xingba's hand had already slashed and attacked with the two swords in Luo Yurou's hand. With two clear explosions, the two interlaced by each other again. Zhang Xingba's iron tower-like body rode steadily on the back of the horse, and remained motionless, while Luo Yurou's slim body suddenly tilted and almost fell off the horse.

Obviously, in the first round of confrontation, Zhang Xingba steadily gained the upper hand with the man's brute force.

Meng Hu immediately took the opportunity to laugh and said, "Luo Yurou, put down your weapons and surrender quickly. Don't look at our Xingba who is big and thick, but he is careful. If you really want to become his woman, he will definitely make you the happiest and happiest little woman in the world, hahahaha..."

"Oh hahaha."

The soldiers of the Tiger Legion also burst into laughter.

Zhang Xingba, who had just turned around, couldn't help but giggle. He was really moved by the graceful enemy girl in front of him. Thinking of Meng Hu's promise, Zhang Xingba's heart became more and more eager. He thought that if the old lady who stayed in Qingniu Tun saw him bringing such a delicate and beautiful lady home to her as her daughter-in-law, I wonder what she would be happy about, hehe.

In front of the Zhuozhou army formation, Luo Ningyan frowned and pointed at Meng Hu in front of the formation with a slender finger, shouting: "Second sister, let this guy see your five arrows, it's best to shoot his tongue down to see how he can disturb the little sister's will."

"Um."

Luo Ningyu swallowed lightly and took out the Baodiao bow from behind the saddle, and then took out five heavy arrows from the quiver pot, and then buckled one of them on the bowstring. With a harsh creaking sound, the bowstring of the Baodiao bow was already full, and the heavy arrow clamped on the string had already locked Meng Hu's face from a distance.

"Go!"

Luo Ningyu shouted softly, and the heavy arrows pressed on the string had already roared out. Then Luo Ningyu pulled the string and shot arrows continuously. In a very short time, five heavy arrows had already shot out in a straight line. The entire archery process was completed in one go, with almost no pause in the middle. Obviously, the second lady of the Luo family had a deep attainment in archery.

"call out……"

The subtle sound of breaking through the air came with the cold murderous intent.

Meng Hu, who was laughing to the sky, suddenly lowered his head and saw a cold star shooting towards him like lightning.

Not far behind Meng Hu, Xiong Batian, who was focusing on Zhang Xingba and Luo Yurou's fighting, suddenly turned his head. When he saw the five arrows shot at Meng Hu in a straight line, his face changed slightly, and he thought to himself, "Five arrows are in a row! Are there such sharpshooters in the Mingyue Empire army?"

At that time, Xiong Batian raised his bow and arrow at an extremely fast speed. With a sound of a whistle, a heavy wolf-tooth arrow had already shot out. When the five heavy arrows shot by Luo Ningyu were still dozens of steps away from Meng Hu's face, the heavy arrow of wolf-tooth shot by Xiong Batian had already shot in a flash. Only five sounds of "Griffin" sounds were heard. The five consecutive beads shot by Luo Ningyu had been shot down by Xiong Batian's wolf-tooth arrows.

“Huh?”

"ah?"

"This guy has such a handsome archery technique!"

Seeing Xiong Batian's magical archery, Luo Ningyan and Luo Yumei's three sisters couldn't help but exclaim. Luo Ningyu, who was skilled in archery, exclaimed even more. It was so difficult to shoot a moving target with an arrow. It was even more amazing to shoot a moving target like an arrow. Luo Ningyu has been practicing arrows for more than ten years and has never seen such a terrible archery technique!

Xiong Batian shot Luo Ningyu's five arrows with an arrow, and he couldn't help but feel the desire to hunt for beauty. He licked his thick lips, stepped forward, and said to Meng Hu with a thick face: "Bi Zhi is attracted to the girl who shot the arrow just now. Can the general reward her to Bei Zhi? Hehe, hehe..."

"Hahaha, OK." Meng Hu laughed loudly when he heard this, "I'll say the same thing. As long as you can capture that girl alive, she's yours."

"Very good."

Xiong Batian cheered, carrying a heavy thick-backed machete, out of the formation and fighting, "Hey, the little lady who just fired the cold arrow, listen, I have taken a fancy to you, come out and let me see, see if your breasts are strong enough, your butt is big enough, round enough, or curly enough, if it's okay, I want you, hahaha..."

To be honest, Xiong Batian's words did not mean to insult people at all, because such a custom is popular in the Great Wilderness.

In the Great Wilderness, women have no status. Women are just men's private property and are just reproductive tools for reproduction. If a man falls in love with a woman, he can open the woman's clothes to see if her breasts are strong enough and her butt is big, round and curly enough, because this is a very serious and sacred identification. In the traditional concept of barbarians, women with big butts will give birth to sons, and women with big breasts will have enough milk to prevent the birth of baby boys from starving to death.

However, in the Middle Earth world of civilization, Xiong Batian's words were naked teasing. Luo Ningyu was already so angry that she was so angry that she wanted to tear Xiong Batian's mouth into seventy or eighty or ninety petals, then cut it into pieces and chop it up and feed it to the dog. He shouted and waved his silver spear to kill Xiong Batian.

Soon, Luo Ningyu and Luo Yurou sisters fought with Zhang Xingba and Xiong Batian in front of the two armies like a lantern. Although Zhang Xingba and Xiong Batian brothers were tall and powerful, they had great advantages and disadvantages, and their body skills were not as light and agile as those of the Luo sisters. This battle was really half a pound, at least within Lily, there was no chance of winning or losing.

In front of the Tiger Legion.

Jia Wudao, who stood behind Meng Hu, said with emotion: "General, the Mingyue Empire has many talents. The four heroes of the Qin family in Dingzhou, the five tigers of the Yan family in Shuozhou, and the Thirteen Lang of the Gongsun family in Youzhou. Even the female generals of the Luomen in Zhuozhou are so beautiful and good at art. Zhang Xingba and Xiong Batian are already the most brave and good at fighting among my Tiger Army. But judging from the situation in front of you, I am afraid that they will not fall into battle with them. I am really dissatisfied."

"hey-hey."

Meng Hu just smiled twice when he heard this, and said nothing.

Qi Diaozi couldn't help but look up at Meng Hu's back, and there was more admiration in her eyes. As Meng Hu's chief military advisor, Qi Diaozi certainly knew what Meng Hu was thinking at this moment. Meng Hu indulged Zhang Xingba, and Xiong Batian fought with the female general of the Luomen, just to gain more time and let the soldiers of the Tiger Legion recover their strength.

Of course, Meng Hu also wanted to "teach" the Luomen girl in the future to achieve the unspeakable purpose of hitting the morale of the enemy and inspiring the morale of the Tiger Legion. Just imagine, if Luo Ningyu and Luo Yurou were really captured by Zhang Xingba and Xiong Batian, the entire Tiger Legion's soldiers would definitely have a great morale and great fighting spirit.

Qingzhou, Qianqigang.

When the Tiger Legion faced the encirclement and blockade of the six main legions of the Mingyue Empire, Meng Yan's remnants saw a glimmer of escape from the desperate situation. The flood that had flooded on the Qingzhou Plain for more than half a month finally gradually retreated. As the flood receded, the Mingyue Navy, who had trapped Qianqigang, had to retreat back to the Tongtian River again.

Meng Yan's injuries also improved greatly. At noon that day, accompanied by Shi Miyuan, Pu Sanzhi, Lu Chengwu and other staff members, he climbed to the camp to observe the situation. He stood on the watchtower and looked out. He saw that the north and west of Qianqigang had been surrounded by the Mingyue Empire Army, and there was no possibility of breaking through.

Fortunately, the flood that trapped Qianqigang finally faded away. The Qingzhou Plain, which was originally flooded by the flood, once again revealed its "lovely" face. Although the Qingzhou Plain seemed messy at this time, there were broken walls everywhere, and dead bodies soaked in water everywhere, and the air was filled with stinking corpses, but Meng Yan and the soldiers of the Guanghui Empire Army were still inexplicably excited.

Pu Sanzhi pointed at the muddy plain under Qianqigang and said excitedly: "Your Highness, the flood has receded, and the navy of the Mingyue Empire will no longer trap us. In a few days, the ground will dry up. Then we can return to the River Empire by land."

"Yes, you can return to the empire right away."

Meng Yan murmured, and suddenly felt the urge to cry. After this Western Expedition defeat, his ambitions had been almost wiped out. Meng Yan suddenly realized that he was not suitable to lead troops to fight. Meng Yan felt regretful. He shouldn't have changed the established strategy of the emperor. It's a pity that it's too late to regret now.

The Western Expedition failed and everything was over.

Meng Yan knew very well what fate would be waiting for him when he returned to the imperial capital? The old emperor would definitely be furious and lost the support of the emperor. The crown that had already fallen on him would also be worn on others. Meng Yan would become the prince of Anle of the empire from then on, and spend his life without worries...

Pu Sanzhi did not notice the loneliness in Meng Yan's eyes, and was still chattering endlessly to exude the joy in his heart.

Only Shi Miyuan discovered Meng Yan's strange expression. Shi Miyuan knew what Meng Yan was thinking at this moment. Although Shi Miyuan had already made arrangements, now he did not intend to tell Meng Yan about his plan, because Shi Miyuan was not very sure about his plan.

More than two hundred miles east of Sad Heart Ridge.

Qiu Yutang was leading the two armies of Bingzhou and Youzhou to advance westward. There were constant express delivery of fast horses along the way, and they always reported to Qiu Yutang about the locations of the Imperial Guards, Guards, and Shuozhou Legion. It is no exaggeration to say that any movements in the areas of Sad Heart Ridge to Fenglin Port are now under Qiu Yutang's close monitoring.

This time when he returned to Zhongzhou, Qiu Yutang planned to confront Meng Hu seriously.

Strictly speaking, Qiu Yutang and Meng Hu have not had a real fight so far. Last time in Beidi County, Meng Hu and Qiu Yutang had not really fought each other, because when Qiu Yutang's main army arrived, Meng Hu fled, and then Qiu Yutang rushed south again, so he didn't even bother to continue chasing Meng Hu.

However, this time, the head-on battle between Qiu Yutang and Meng Hu seems to be impossible to avoid.

As the supreme commander of the Mingyue Imperial Army and the excellent military commander, Qiu Yutang always maintains the necessary calmness. She despises Meng Hu at all, but she has no intention of being afraid of Meng Hu. In Qiu Yutang's eyes, Meng Hu is her enemy, a cunning and cruel mortal enemy!

Amid the rapid sound of horse hooves, Tuoba Shou and Gongsun Xiang came to Qiu Yutang's carriage together.

Qiu Yutang's confidant maid gently lifted the curtain of the carriage. Gongsun Xiang and Tuoba Shou hurriedly bowed to Qiu Yutang and the prince who were sitting in the carriage. Qiu Yutang relaxed his slender hands and asked in a clear voice: "Her old general Tuoba and old general Gongsun, is there any news coming back from the front?"

Tuoba Shou turned around and looked at Gongsun Xiang, but he didn't dare to respond for a while.

Seeing the two of them wanting to speak but stop, Qiu Yutang couldn't help but feel heart sank. He had already guessed a little in his heart and asked in a low voice: "Is the ambush of the Zhuozhou Legion not successful?"

Gongsun Xiang sighed and said sadly: "Yes, the ambush failed."

Tuoba Shou said again: "But the Tiger Legion was still blocked by the Zhuozhou Legion north of the Sad Ridge."

Qiu Yutang pondered for a moment and said softly: "Immediately condemn the fast horses and strictly order the three major corpses of Shuozhou, the imperial guards and the guards to step up to help the sad mountain. Then, he ordered the entire army to advance overnight. Be sure to arrive at the sad mountain before dark tomorrow and encircle and annihilate the tiger army under the sad mountain in one fell swoop!"

"yes!"

Tuoba Shou agreed to leave.

Gongsun Xiang turned around before leaving and whispered: "Your Highness, there is something else."

Qiu Yutang said softly: "Please say the old general."

Gongsun Xiang said: "Just received an urgent delivery from Guandong, the flood in Qingzhou has retreated. General Xiao Chengdong's naval army has been forced to withdraw back to Tongtian Henoi. The siege of Meng Yan's remaining soldiers can no longer continue. Yao Chang asked His Highness whether it is necessary to block Meng Yan's remaining soldiers at all costs and wait for His Highness to lead the army to encircle and annihilate it?"

Qiu Yutang suddenly sighed and said, "Let them go."

"Ah?" Gongsun Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly said, "Oh, the old minister understands."

Watching Gongsun Xiang go away, Qiuye, who was sitting under the head of Qiuyutang, suddenly asked in a low voice: "Auntie, has the imperial military and financial resources reached its limit?"

"yes."

Qiu Yutang gently stroked Qiu Ye's little head and sighed, "The empire is now at the end of its strength. After annihilation of the Tiger Legion, it can no longer support hundreds of thousands of troops to launch a large-scale battle, so Meng Yan's remaining soldiers just don't want to let them go. What's more, letting Meng Yan's remaining soldiers escape may not be a bad thing for the empire."

"Ye'er understand." Qiuye nodded gently and whispered, "For defeated generals like Meng Yan, letting them go back is much more useful than killing them, because Meng Yan and these defeated generals have been afraid of our army. Their existence will deepen the fear of the Emperor's aunt and the Imperial Army."

Qiu Yutang looked lonely and didn't say anything more.

In fact, Akino only knows one thing but not the other.

In addition to the effect that Akino mentioned, he also had political considerations when he let Meng Yan return home. If Meng Yan could really become the emperor of the Glorious Empire, then this experience of escaping from death would have a profound impact on his national policy. From now on, when the Glorious Empire formulates major policies against the Mingyue Empire, Meng Yan will become more cautious.

Of course, if Meng Yan was a promising emperor who knew shame and then bravely, then this disgraceful experience would become a factor that encouraged him to work hard, which would not be a good thing for the Mingyue Empire. However, Qiu Yutang believed that this possibility was not great. All signs indicate that Meng Yan was just a mediocre person with great ambitions and lack of talent.

However, these are all things that will happen in the future. Qiu Yutang urgently needs to consider now how to deal with Meng Hu's Tiger Legion.

How to annihilate the Tiger Legion at the lowest cost in the shortest time is an extremely difficult problem, because the national strength of the Mingyue Empire is almost exhausted, and the military rations of hundreds of thousands of troops are almost unable to be provided. Once the military rations are exhausted, Qiu Yutang can imagine what terrible consequences will be?

Under the sad ridge.

The dreams of Zhang Xingba and Xiong Batian were not realized in the end. Luo Ningyu and Luo Yurou looked weak, but their martial arts were extremely good. The four of them fought each other for more than 200 rounds, and they had not decided the winner from the morning to the sun setting. Of course, this also has something to do with Zhang Xingba and Xiong Batian's desire to be pity and cherish the jade and did not dare to kill. Otherwise, the winner would have been decided long ago.

Meng Hu saw that the physical strength of the entire Tiger Legion had almost recovered, so he immediately launched an attack!

With a command, the 50,000 tiger and wolf army of the Tiger Legion took neat steps and shouted loud trumpets slowly forward, like a rolling iron stream, crushing forward with an unstoppable momentum. After three waves of arrow rain, the two armies met, the sound of weapons colliding, the anger, howling, and loud trumpets of the soldiers of the two armies resounded through the sky, and were clearly heard dozens of miles away!
