Chapter 255 Digging a Big Grave
Chapter 255: Digging a big grave
Jia Wudao said sternly: "I didn't think it was already there, but when the general said this, Beizhi felt it was brilliant. The two empires of Galaxy should not sit idly by and watch us grow stronger, especially after the Battle of the Modong Grassland, the two empires would only feel that the thorns were on their backs. It seems that we have to make some preparations in advance."
"Just making some preparations is not enough." Meng Hu subconsciously stroked his chin with his hand, and a ferocity suddenly flashed through his bright eyes. "We have to dig a large grave for the two empires and bury all the troops sent to the Great Wilderness. Only by hurting them will they give up the idea of taking the initiative."
"Dig a big grave?" Jia Wudao said sternly, "I'm afraid this is not easy, right? After all, the terrain of this great wasteland is obvious, with endless Gobi Deserts everywhere. Even if there are occasionally canyons and river beaches, it is difficult to ambush the ambush troops, and it is impossible to guarantee that the armies of the two empires will definitely enter our ambush circle, right?"
"It's up to man. As long as you use your brain and think about it more, there will be a solution." Meng Hu said with a grim voice, "Immediately call Xiong Batian. He has been the leader of the Black Bear Tribe for decades. He is the most familiar with the terrain in this area. Let's see if there is any terrain that can be used..."
…………
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the imperial capital of the Galaxy Empire - the City of Ice and Snow.
The imperial prime minister Murong Ao just walked into the palace hall, and Qin Lan handed him a secret letter and said, "Murong Aiqing, this is a secret letter that Meng Yan, the emperor of the Guanghui Empire, just sent by a flying pigeon. Everything is indeed not as expected. The Guanghui Empire is going to attack with our coalition forces and sank the great wasteland."
Murong Ao smiled and said, "This is also expected. They fear Meng Huyuan better than us. Strictly speaking, this time Modong defeated us was just a disaster. Once the barbarians on the Great Wilderness become stronger, the first thing they have to deal with is the Glorious Empire, not our Galaxy Empire."
"Yeah." Qin Lan nodded, "But the barbarians dared to go deep into Modong and severely damaged the Modong King's Court. This is something I can't tolerate, so I have to give them a harsh lesson this time. Murong Aiqing, now we should talk about the Eastern Expedition. Who do you think should be the leader of the army and how many soldiers should be sent?"
Murong Ao pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to lead the army, I think the Southern Prince Feng Qingyang is the most suitable candidate, but the military strength of the Monan Prince Court is probably not enough. After all, the Monan Prince Court had suffered a severe blow last year, and nearly 100,000 troops were burned by the Guanghui Empire in Hulu Valley."
"Hey." Qin Lan said, "This is another old account, and one day I will have to ask for a return from the Guanghui Empire."
"Of course, but it's not the time yet." Murong Ao said, "At present, we have to use the power of the Glory Empire to jointly deal with the tiger on the Great Wilderness. We must kill it before it sharpens its minions."
Qin Lan thought for a moment and said, "Murong Aiqing, do you think this is OK? The Monan Prince Court mobilized all the strong men over 18 years old and under 40 years old all wore armor. In this way, how could they dispatch cavalry of 70,000 to 80,000 cavalry, right? I will draw two more royal legions to go south and cooperate with the wind to sing the east to fight the Great Wilderness."
Murong Ao suddenly became nervous and asked, "I wonder who His Majesty plans to send to lead these two royal legions?"
"Qin Xian." Qin Lan replied without hesitation, "I plan to let Qin Xian lead his troops to the expedition."
When Murong Ao heard this, he immediately put his heart back in his stomach and said respectfully: "If the eldest princess leads the army, the old minister will be relieved. With the eldest princess assisting Feng Qingyang, this battle will definitely be won."
"Okay." Qin Lan waved her hand and said loudly, "I will issue an order to the Royal Storm Legion, and the Storm Legion will gather immediately."
...
In a blink of an eye, nearly three months passed.
The thing that Meng Hu worried the most finally happened. The Glorious Empire and the Galaxy Empire really dispatched coalition forces to launch a fierce attack on the Great Wilderness.
Wild bear beach, Menghu’s big tent.
A military topographic map has been hung on the wide screen, but the map is relatively thick and is limited to some areas adjacent to Middle-earth in the western part of the Great Wilderness. This area covers some territories of the three major tribes, black bears, tigers, and wild wolves, as well as some areas of the northeastern province of the Glorious Empire and the eastern desert grassland of the Galaxy Empire.
At this moment, the great leaders of the tribes of the Great Wilderness had almost gathered, and even Niu Ju, the great leader of the Giant Rhino tribe, was present.
More than a month ago, Meng Hu personally visited the territory of the Juxi Tribe.
It was a coincidence that Meng Hu actually saved Niu Ju's life halfway. At that time, Niu Ju was hunting a giant ape, but was injured by the giant ape. When the giant ape was about to die, Meng Hu appeared in time to save his life. With this section, Meng Hu and Niu Ju quickly became good brothers who could talk about everything. Hearing that Meng Hu was going to fight against the Middle-earth people, Niu Ju led twenty giant rhinoceros cavalry to Wild Bear Beach without saying a word.
Jia Wudao stood in front of the screen, pointed the wooden stick in his hand at the map on the screen and explained: "Based on the detailed work and the news sent back by horse exploration, we can basically determine the forces of the two empires and the general marching direction. The Guanghui Empire dispatched about six cavalry divisions and two heavy cavalry regiments, and the Galaxy Empire's troops were about 100,000 cavalry."
As soon as Jia Wudao finished speaking, several tribal leaders in the tent changed their faces. Hu Roar, the big leader of the Tiger Tribe, was even more shocked and said: "The Guanghui Empire dispatched six cavalry divisions and two heavy cavalry regiments? Isn't this saying that the army they went to fight this time was as high as 160,000 cavalry? In addition, the 100,000 cavalry of the Galaxy Empire, the total force was as high as 260,000 cavalry!"
It’s not a matter of being surprised by the tiger roar. In fact, the two heroes of the two great wildernesses, the wolf howls and Eagle Fly, aren’t they surprised? You should know that the army of these two tribes never exceeded 100,000 cavalry at the peak of their lives. But now, the two empires of Guangqiu and Galaxy have dispatched 260,000 cavalry at one time, including 10,000 heavy-armed cavalry, how can you fight this battle?
To be honest, Meng Hu didn't expect that the Guanghui Empire would actually dispatch so many cavalry.
But after thinking about it carefully, Meng Hu felt relieved. It seemed that Meng Yan and Shi Miyuan had made up their minds to wipe out themselves this time. Six cavalry divisions and two heavy cavalry regiments were really a big deal. I was afraid that all the light cavalry and heavy cavalry of the Guanghui Empire were gathered together? This determination was really great, but it is hard to say whether Meng Yan and Shi Miyuan could do what they wanted.
Because the Great Wilderness and Middle-earth World are too far apart, and the blockade of the two empires of Glory and the news is not smooth. Meng Hu still doesn't know that Shi Miyuan has long lost Meng Yan's trust. Now the person in charge of military power in the Glory Empire is Yue Meng, the rising star who he once scored at the Royal Military Academy.
As soon as Hu roared, Meng Hu stood up and said, "Yes, the two empires did dispatch 260,000 cavalry this time, but the head of state thought it was no big deal. First of all, these 260,000 cavalry were composed of the armies of the two countries. Since it was a coalition, there would inevitably be a division between masters and subordinates, and there would inevitably be a battle for command. In this way, its real combat power would be equivalent to more than 100,000 cavalry."
"And..." Meng Hu strode to the screen and pointed to the map and said, "From the map, the assembly area of the Galaxy Empire Army is closer to our great wilderness, while the distance between the Glorious Empire Army is relatively far. The distance between these two armies is at least thousands of miles, which gives us the opportunity to defeat each one. In other words, at a certain period of time, we only need to face the 100,000 cavalry of the Galaxy Empire, or the 160,000 army of the Glorious Empire."
The big wolf in the Wild Wolf Tribe said, "But even if it is an army, we are no match."
"Yes, we can't win." Hu Yao also echoed loudly, "In the past, the two empires only sent thousands of troops to invade the Great Wilderness, which could defeat tens of thousands of troops of our tribes. Now the two empires have dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, so where can we win?"
"It used to be the past, now is now." Meng Hu sneered, "You couldn't beat thousands of Middle-Turkish troops in the past because you didn't understand them and didn't understand their tactics. In addition, your weapons and equipment were too poor. But now, our weapons and equipment are only stronger than the Middle-Turkish troops. Moreover... This head of state was once the western governor of the Glorious Empire, and knew their tactics well. In addition, in this battle we fought at our doorstep, while the two empires were attacking far away. In short, this time, except for the disadvantage in terms of military strength, we all had the upper hand in all aspects. How could we not win?"
Ying Fei and Wolf Howling made Meng Hu's words excited and eager to try. He asked in unison: "Big Head, just say it, how should you fight this battle?"
Meng Hu asked without answering, "Before deciding how to fight this war, I must first know how many troops we can mobilize to join the war this time?"
Xiong Batian was the first to express his opinion: "Our Black Bear Tribe vowed to follow the great head of state to the death, and all eight thousand iron cavalry in the clan participated in the war."
Ying Fei also said: "This battle is related to the life and death of the tribes in the Great Wilderness. Our Eagle Tribe will never retreat. We decided to mobilize 20,000 cavalry to join the war."
Wolf Howl then said loudly: "Our Tianlang tribe also produced 20,000 cavalry."
Then there was the charming voice of the Jade Fox King: "Our Eight Thousand Female Knights of the Jade Fox Clan are waiting for the summons of the Great Head of State."
Little Wild Leopard Flower Jieyu also said in a sweet voice: "We three thousand leopard warriors are completely obeying the order of the great head of state."
Niu Ju, the leader of the Giant Rhinoceros tribe, said a little embarrassedly: "I came in a hurry this time and failed to bring the warriors in the tribe. However, the twenty cavalry of the Giant Rhinoceros cavalry accompanied by the entire crowd were completely convinced by the heads of state."
Tiger Roar and Wolf Howl looked at each other, and finally said helplessly: "Our tiger and wild wolf tribes are not as much as the other tribes. They suffered too much in the previous conflict with the Tianlang tribe, so this time they can only produce two thousand cavalry each."
