Chapter 2 Take the Chinese Army Directly
"attack!"
"attack!"
"attack!"
More than two hundred soldiers responded with a loud bang, following Meng Hu closely, like a group of hungry wolves who discovered their prey, catching up towards the Mingyue Empire Army opposite.
Lei Ming, who was pressing the situation in front of the formation, was shocked when he saw this and shouted loudly: "Huzi, what are you going to do? Come back quickly!"
Meng Hu, who was raising his sword, turned around and smiled at Lei Mingming, and then rushed into the Mingyue Empire army.
A team leader of the Mingyue Empire Army came forward and raised his sword to slash Meng Hu's neck. A cold smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Meng Hu's mouth. The light of fireflies was also matched with Haoyue? In the light of lightning, the sword in Meng Hu's hand had been swung out like lightning. The captain of the Mingyue Empire felt a chill on his neck, and the hot blood had splashed out like a fountain...
He killed himself with one knife, and Meng Hu never stopped at his feet, just like a tiger heading forward from the mountain.
Two soldiers from the Mingyue Empire raised their swords and tried to stop Meng Hu's advance. Before they could slash out the sword in their hands, Meng Hu's strong body had already hit them with a violent rush.
After two muffled sounds, the two Mingyue Empire soldiers had already shrunk to the ground. The expressions on their faces were dull, and red blood was gushing out from the corners of their mouths, eyes, nostrils and ears. The extremely violent collision just now had already broken their internal organs.
"Ao..."
Meng Hu roared to the sky, like a tiger roaring in the mountains, shocking thousands of troops.
Behind Meng Hu, two hundred light soldiers followed him like shadows, and they swore to death. More than two hundred soldiers from the entire Tiger Squadron formed an assault cone formation, like a sharp bone-clearing knife, which fiercely wedged into the light infantry formation on the left wing of the Mingyue Imperial Army. Meng Hu was the sharpest cone tip.
Seeing the tiger squadron entering the Mingyue Empire Army like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, Lei Ming's blood began to burn, and all his concerns were thrown behind him. Suddenly, Lei Ming raised the sword in his hand, and the roar like thunder echoed in the sky: "Thunder United... the whole army attacked! Kill!"

Tianlang Fortress, on the towering watchtower.
The accidental attack of the right-wing light infantry of the Guanghui Empire Army quickly caused chaos in the entire battlefield. Zhao Yue, who was watching the battle on the watchtower, couldn't help but frowned, turned around and glared at the chief of staff behind Ye Wentian, and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? Why did the right-wing light infantry attack? Isn't this a random mess?"
Zhao Yue, the governor of the western provinces of the Guanghui Empire, is also the commander of the Western Legion.
Chief of staff, Ip Mantian, did not dare to look Zhao Yue in front of his eyes and whispered: "This, Dingxi should not issue such a ridiculous military order. Maybe it was the right-wing light infantry attacking without authorization, right?"
"Attack without authorization?"
Zhao Yue groaned, not knowing whether he believed Ye Wentian’s explanation or did not believe it at all.
"Or..." Ip Mantian asked tentatively, "Let Dingxi withdraw his army back to the fortress first?"
"Retreat?" Zhao Yue said coldly, "Now the light infantry on the right wing has been mixed with the left wing of the Mingyue Imperial Army. Can the army retreat back?"
Ip Man-Tian was silent.
Generally speaking, light infantry on the battlefield has two functions, mainly to protect the flank safety of heavy infantry. In addition, after the heavy infantry wins, they will pursue the enemy and expand the results of the battle. However, sometimes, light infantry has to assume the third function, which is to act as cannon fodder when necessary.
For example, when the commander of one side finds that the situation is unfavorable and decides to withdraw his troops, he will first withdraw the heavy infantry in the middle of the battlefield, and then let the light infantry on both wings move closer to the middle to resist the enemy's pursuit. In other words, the light infantry on both wings sacrifices to protect the heavy infantry.
That's why Zhao Yue said this, because the light infantry on the right wing has been mixed with the Mingyue Imperial Army and can no longer move closer to the middle. Once the three heavy infantry regiments of the Guanghui Imperial Army retreat, the light infantry on the left wing alone is not enough to block the pursuit of the Mingyue Imperial Army. If the troops are forcibly withdrawn, the consequences will be unimaginable.
When Ip Man-Tianzheng didn't know what to say, suddenly a general shouted in surprise: "The light infantry on the right wing seems to be very fierce."
"Um?"
Zhao Yue and Ye Wentian turned around at the same time when they heard the sound, and their eyes fell on the right-wing battlefield again. As expected, a squadron-scale light infantry had already deeply wedged into the Mingyue Empire Army. Although they were in the midst of thousands of troops, their momentum was not diminished at all. At this speed, at most one cup of tea could penetrate the left wing of the Mingyue Empire Army.
Zhao Yue's eyes lit up in an instant. If the light infantry on the right wing could really defeat the light infantry on the left wing of the Mingyue Imperial Army, wouldn't the flank weakness of the heavy infantry on the middle road of the Mingyue Imperial Army be exposed? Moreover, once the light infantry on the left wing of the Mingyue Imperial Army collapsed, it would not be so easy for the heavy infantry on the middle road to withdraw their troops...
"Interesting." Zhao Yue held his chin and whispered to himself, "This battle is a bit interesting."

The main formation of the central army of the Guanghui Empire.
Ye Dingxi's face turned pale. He was the acting commander of the division who fought in the division. The chief of staff of the Western Legion, Ye Wentian, was his uncle, and Ye Haotian, the minister of the Ministry of War of the Guanghui Empire, was his father.
Now, Ye Dingxi's division commander is only an agent. Only by winning this battle can he truly become the division commander of the Third Division of the Western Legion. Now, the unexpected attack of the right-wing light infantry has disrupted his tactical concept and is likely to destroy his good things. How could he not be angry?
Turning back and staring at the chief of staff viciously, Ye Dingxi shouted sternly: "What's the light infantry on the right wing? Who ordered them to attack?"
The chief of staff responded in panic: "Sir, no one has ordered."
"No one gave the order?" Ye Dingxi's face suddenly had a cloud of darkness, and he said in a deep voice, "Lei Ming is so brave, he dares to attack without authorization!"
The chief of staff asked in a low voice: "Sir, what should I do now?"
"What should I do?" Ye Dingxi said viciously, "What else can I do now? The right-wing light infantry corps has been mixed with the Mingyue Imperial Army. Our army can now move forward and not retreat. We pass our orders to let the left-wing light infantry corps launch an attack immediately, and the entire army attacks, defeat the enemy in one go!"
After all, Ye Dingxi was born into a family of generals and could climb to a high position at a young age. He relied on not only his family background, but also had some ability, so he could see the current situation clearly at a glance. Due to the attack of the right-wing light infantry, the Guanghui Empire Army had no way out and could only fight against the enemy.
"Ah?" the chief of staff said in a lost voice, "The whole army attacked?"
"Why are you still standing there? Your ears are deaf?" Ye Dingxi roared, "Go, hurry up and send the order!"
"yes."
The chief of staff suddenly woke up and took the order.

Right-wing battlefield.
Meng Hu kicked away the last Mingyue Empire soldier who was blocking his face. His eyes suddenly became clear. The left wing formation of the Mingyue Empire Army had been broken through! Looking back quickly, more than a hundred soldiers who had fought for the rest of their lives in the Tiger Squadron were fighting for the first place and following them. It is worthy of being the soldiers that Meng Hu had trained for nearly half a year, and actually fought out a bloody path from the thousands of troops!
Not far behind him, Lei Ming had already launched an attack with the entire regiment. Under the attack of the Tiger Squadron and the Thunder Regiment, the left wing formation of the Mingyue Imperial Army was on the verge of collapse. If the Tiger Squadron returned to attack, the left wing formation of the Mingyue Imperial Army would inevitably collapse.
A cold smile appeared on Meng Hu's lips again, all of this was long as he expected.
The decisive attack of the Tiger Squadron completely violates the classic tactical theory pursued by Middle-earth world. No one could have thought that the Tiger Squadron would attack at this time. The Mingyue Imperial Army was caught off guard. In addition, there were many new recruits in the army. If the well-trained Tiger Squadron could not break through, it would be a ghost!
However, Meng Hu's target is not the left-wing light soldiers of the Mingyue Empire. If a strike is turned back at this time, it can certainly defeat the left-wing infantry formation of the Mingyue Empire, and the Guanghui Empire Army will also win, but in this way, this battle will be a defeat at most. Even if the Mingyue Empire Army is defeated, it will not suffer much loss.
Of course, Meng Hu's ambition is more than that. His goal is the entire Mingyue Empire Army!
Only the invading Mingyue Empire Army was enough to promote Meng Hu's savior Lei Ming to become a general.
Lei Ming is just a light infantry corps leader of the Third Division. It may seem absurd to be promoted to the division commander directly, but Meng Hu knew that this was not a fool. As long as he could cut off the head of the commander of the Mingyue Empire and help the Guanghui Empire Army defeat the Mingyue Empire Army, although Ye Dingxi's division commander could not escape, Lei Ming would probably take the opportunity to be promoted to general.
As for the reason, it is actually very simple to put it bluntly, that is, the product of compromise in internal struggles.
"howl……"
Meng Hu suddenly raised his sword to the sky and raised his sword that had been rolled up again. The blade pointed directly at the bright moon flag in front of the left. The screams of tsunami sounded from behind Meng Hu. More than a hundred soldiers who had fought to the death for the rest of their lives in the Tiger Squadron raised the sword in their hands, and all the blades pointed at the bright moon flag without exception.
At this moment, the two sides of the war had completely become a group, and almost all the troops had been put into battle. Only about two squadrons of the Guards were still standing under the Mingyue flag. As long as they broke through the interception of this Guards, Meng Hu could rush to the enemy commander.
As long as you rush to the enemy commander, the battle will be over.

Tianlang Fortress, on the watchtower.
"Okay!" Zhao Yue couldn't help but praise, "The left wing of the Mingyue Empire Army is about to collapse!"
"Huh?" Before Zhao Yue finished speaking, Ye Wentian next to him suddenly exclaimed in surprise and whispered, "What is that light infantry going to do? At this time, as long as they return to the sword, the left wing of the Mingyue Empire Army will completely collapse. Why are they going to the central army of the Mingyue Empire?"
"At this critical moment..." Zhao Yue's brows, which had just stretched, soon frowned again, and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to take the central army of the Mingyue Empire? Just because of the Bailai light soldiers, you are overestimating your abilities, right?"
"Take the Central Army straight?"
When Ye Wentian took a breath and turned to look at the light soldier, a strange look appeared in his eyes. If this light soldier could really destroy the central army of the Mingyue Empire, it would undoubtedly directly determine the outcome of the war. Perhaps the invading Mingyue Empire army would be destroyed.
But the question is, can those light steps of a hundred numbers really destroy the central army of the Mingyue Empire?
The Mingyue Empire Army, which invaded the Tianlang Fortress this time, had a divisional force. The division commander Situ Biao was even a famous general in the Middle Earth world. In his early years, Situ Biao rode alone to challenge eight powerful generals of the Star River Empire on the battlefield. As a result, eight powerful generals of the Star River Empire were killed and five injured, but Situ Biao was unscathed. After that battle, the children of the Star River Empire did not dare to cry at night when they heard Situ Biao's name!
Just because of those hundred light soldiers, I’m afraid it’s not enough for Situ Biao to cut it alone!
No wonder Zhao Yue said that they were overestimating their abilities. In Ye Wentian's opinion, this light army attacking the central army of the Mingyue Empire is no different from dying!

The main formation of the central army of the Guanghui Empire.
This time, Ye Dingxi was already furious: "Bastard, idiot, pig, stupid pig!"
In Ye Dingxi's view, since the light soldier has broken through the left wing of the Mingyue Empire Army, he should have a fight back and cooperate with the Leiming Brigade to defeat the light soldier formation on the left wing of the Mingyue Empire as soon as possible, and then cooperate with the heavy infantry in the middle to defeat the heavy soldiers of the Mingyue Empire's middle to defeat the heavy soldiers of the Mingyue Empire. This is undoubtedly the safest tactic.
However, now, the light soldier is actually heading for the central army of the Mingyue Empire!
What are they trying to do? Do they want to destroy the central army of the Mingyue Empire in one fell swoop? This is simply a joke!
It's okay to die. Ye Dingxi didn't care about the life and death of this light soldier. What made Ye Dingxi angry was that the unauthorized actions of this light soldier had affected the progress of the war. If the light soldier could return a timely attack just now, the left-wing formation of the Mingyue Imperial Army would have collapsed. In this way, the Guanghui Imperial Army would also have a sure victory.
But now, the light soldier has been determined to leave the right-wing battlefield. The left wing of the Mingyue Empire, which is about to collapse, has slowly stabilized the situation again. The dawn of victory that just appeared seems to have left Ye Dingxi again. No wonder he was so angry that he was furious and cursed.
