Chapter 42 Breaking out
"Sir, it's not good!"
"Governor, it's not good!"
"Heavy Armored Iron Cavalry, how can the enemy have a Heavy Armored Iron Cavalry?"
Officers and staff from several corps including Yunzhou, Yingzhou and other corpses came to Situ Rui and Du Yu in a hurry, crying and snatching the earth, as if the end of the world had arrived.
"What's the panic!"
Du Yu was already so angry that his face turned pale and shouted angrily, "Aren't it just two or three thousand heavy armored cavalry? What's there to worry about if there is no light cavalry that cooperates with it and the infantry that does not follow and protect it? Don't forget that there are nearly two divisions in our camp with more than 40,000 troops, even if you bite them with your teeth, it's enough to bite them to death!"
The staff were silent, and no one dared to cry and snatch the earth.
Du Yu looked back at Situ Rui with a solemn expression, and then ordered: "The two heavy infantry corpses of the Third Division of Yunzhou refused to defend the front. The two heavy infantry corpses of the Second Division of Yingzhou went around the two wings of the enemy's heavy armored iron cavalry and continued to block the city gate. The enemy infantry inside the pass must not be allowed to come out! The other regiments guard their base camps and must not make any mistakes!"
"yes!"
The officers and staff who were crowded in front of the drum rack left one after another.

Hexi Fortress.
Thousands of ropes have been connected to the long and short wood supporting the wall. More than 5,000 soldiers from the Baixi Regiment held tightly at the other end of the rope. Due to excessive tension, the joints of their right fingers holding the rope were slightly white, and blue veins were raised on the back of their hands.
The mixed cavalry and infantry regiment of the War Eagle, Zhao Qinghan's two hundred Qingyi Guards, and three heavy infantry regiments were already on the verge of battle, waiting nervously for the arrival of that moment, with inexplicable solemnity everywhere, and even the air around seemed to have begun to become stagnant, making it hard to breathe!
Taking a deep breath, Lei Ming's right hand was swayed fiercely.
Bai Xi, who was nervously waiting for Lei Ming's order, immediately waved the war horse in his hand and started to whip up: "Take it..."
More than 5,000 soldiers whispered lightly at the same time. Four or five people pulled the rope in their hands and pulled it back hard. Thousands of pieces of wood supporting the wall fell to the ground in a bang. The towering wall fell down slightly, and then slowly poured down backwards...
More than 5,000 soldiers from the Baixi Regiment quickly retreated to a safe distance. The heavy infantry in the front row had already raised huge shields and built a solid shield wall in front of them, ready to welcome the flying gravel bricks.

Bright Moon Camp.
Situ Rui held the drumstick in his hand and stood solemnly in front of the marching drum with a serious face. At this time, Situ Rui had no intention of continuing to beat the drum. All his thoughts had been concentrated on the heavy enemy cavalry that was rushing around outside the camp!
After rushing down the two heavy infantry regiments that were about to block the city gate, the enemy heavy cavalry did not stop at all and immediately launched a fierce attack on the Mingyue Camp. After a short sprint, the heavy armored iron cavalry in the front row actually collided with the people and the cavalry and opened a bloody path forward with the flesh and blood of the people!
The subsequent heavy cavalry stepped on the body of his companion and rushed over, hitting the Mingyue heavy soldiers who were waiting for the camp. In an instant, the sword and gun were broken, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Situ Rui and Du Yuyuan were hundreds of steps away, as if they could hear the terrifying sound of the heavy cavalry falling from the ground and the shattering of the bones of the soldiers of the two armies...
Taking a deep breath, Situ Rui sighed and said, "It is worthy of being a tiger. He has built a heavy armored iron cavalry with the armor of heavy infantry and the war horses of light cavalry. Although the lethality is far from comparable to regular heavy cavalry like the Scythe Knights, it is more than enough to destroy the defense of heavy infantry!"
At this moment, Situ Rui already knew how this "heavy armored iron cavalry" came from. He couldn't help but sigh at Meng Hu's creative actions, thinking that Meng Hu is really a rare talent. He dares to break his old thinking habits and be able to think what others cannot think and what others cannot do!
"Yes, Meng Hu's idea is really incredible!"
Du Yu echoed and said with a serious expression, "The heavy infantry on the front of the camp may not be able to withstand it for too long. Fortunately, the heavy infantry on both wings have already detoured. As long as the closing door is sealed and the enemy infantry inside the pass is not difficult, it is not difficult to encircle and annihilate these more than 2,000 heavy cavalry, and our army will not suffer much loss."
Situ Rui nodded slightly when he heard this.
Although the heavy-armored iron cavalry has an almost terrifying impact, it is difficult for war horses to continue charging due to the heavy load being too heavy. If there are no light cavalry or infantry fighting together, these heavy cavalry will inevitably be surrounded by the heavy siege of the bright moon light soldiers. When the war horses are exhausted, they will be at the end of their destruction!
"Now……"
Du Yu took a breath and said in a voice, "It depends on whether the heavy infantry that deviated from both wings can block the door!"
"Crazy..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening sound suddenly sounded between the sky and the earth, and then a swaying mountain was shaken. Du Yu was surprised and almost fell from the drum stand!
"What's going on?"
Du Yu finally lost his original calm on his face and asked in panic, "Governor, what's the voice?"
Situ Rui did not respond. Du Yu only heard a hissing sound. When he looked closely, he saw Situ Rui staring at the front. His eyes, which were originally full of confidence, calm and calm, clearly showed inexplicable shock, and unbelievable from the depths of his soul...
"This is……"
Du Yu turned his head mechanically, and then he was frightened to find that the towering walls of Hexi Fortress had collapsed in the middle. Under the dark night sky, rolling smoke and dust were surging under the flames. Countless gravels and bricks were splashing everywhere. Although they were far away, they seemed to hear hissing and screaming sounds.
Before the rolling smoke and dust could dissipate, the tsunami-like shouts had already soared into the sky from the gate.
In less than a moment, countless soldiers of the Glorious Empire had already swarmed out of the smoke and dust. The two Mingyue Heavy Infantry Regiments, who were about to block the door, had not yet come back to their senses from the earth-shaking loud noise just now. More than two thousand Glorious Light Cavalry had already broken through the gate and rushed over with their sabers...
"call!"
Situ Rui breathed a long sigh, finally came back from the huge shock, and said sternly, "What a crazy and terrible guy, he dared to destroy the gate!"
Du Yu finally recovered from the great shock and grabbed Situ Rui and persuaded: "Governor, it's no longer safe here, so you should hurry back to the big tent."
"No, I won't go anywhere!"
Situ Rui pushed Du Yu away and shouted loudly, "Tell the entire army that I am here to cheer for them!"
After saying that, Situ Rui raised his drum hammer and smashed it hard on the marching drums of the two people, making a loud "bang" sound.
Du Yu knew Situ Rui's temper and did not dare to persuade him anymore. He could only instruct the guards to be careful and ordered people to return to the central tent to get Situ Rui's armor. Situ Rui was the pillar of the Mingyue Empire's army. If he was injured by the enemy's lame arrow in the melee between the two armies, it would be too unfair.

"Crazy..."
Meng Hu, who was rushing around in the chaos, was also alarmed by the loud noise coming from behind. When he looked back quickly, the originally towering walls had disappeared into the tumbling smoke and dust. A large group of soldiers of the Glorious Imperial Army had climbed over the broken walls and swept out like a tide of tides of smoke and dust.
"Sir!"
The millet urged the horse to approach Meng Hu and shouted excitedly, "Our large group of people are coming out!"
Meng Hu shot a soldier from the Mingyue Empire who was blocking his face with a shot and said, "Brothers, it's time to fight for life. Follow me... and take the Mingyue Middle Army straight and kill Situ Rui!"
After saying that, Meng Hu immediately jumped into the army with his gun and jumped straight to the Mingyuezhong Army.
"Kill Situ Rui!"
"Kill Situ Rui!"
"Kill Situ Rui!"
Amid the roars like mountains and seas, the remaining more than a thousand heavy cavalry followed Meng Hu closely and drove straight into the depths of the Mingyue Camp. A team of Mingyue Empire soldiers rushed out of the diagonal sect, trying to stop the advance of the tigers and wolves. However, in less than a moment, they were crushed to pieces and collapsed!
"Dong!"
"Dongdong!"
"Dong!"
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
A series of extremely rhythmic drum beats suddenly came from not far ahead.
War drum!?
Meng Hu's pupils suddenly shrank, the war drums of the Mingyue Empire Army were in front, and Situ Rui's central army tent must be nearby!
Meng Hu held the reins hard, and the war horse under his crotch neighed and took a few steps back without warning. Without warning, Meng Hu suddenly loosened the tight reins, and then held his legs hard. The war horse under his crotch immediately raised his horse's head and sprinted forward and reached an astonishing high speed in a very short time!
In a flash, a fence that was as high as two people could barely blocked the way!
Seeing that the man and the rider were about to hit the fence, Meng Hu struggled to revolve, and the war horse under his crotch immediately raised his head and neighed, soaring into the air. His heavy body whizzed past the top of the fence with a strong wind, and slid forward dozens of steps before falling heavily. Meng Hu's mount was stolen from the War Eagle. It is worthy of being a strong horse from a thousand miles away. He fell from the air with such weight, but he just slid forward for a few steps and barely stabilized his body.
The low and powerful drum beats suddenly stopped, and the noise around seemed to suddenly go away.
Chapter completed!
