Chapter 10 The Beacon Fire on Qingyun Mountain
When the vanguard of the Mingyue Army was still a stone's throw away, Meng Hu stopped.
The sound of trumpets and war drums had stopped at some point, and the entire battlefield was silent. Suddenly, Meng Hu raised the black gun in his hand high and started to whip up to the sky. The north wind blew up Meng Hu's head and hair was scattered behind his head, floating like the wind and waves. Endless wildness and passion quietly spread and stirred in the world.
On the wall, several female soldiers in the blue-clothed guard suddenly turned red and their eyes were filled with tenderness like water.

Central Army of Mingyue Empire.
Tuoba Tao's pupils suddenly shrank, staring at the wild man who was whispering to the sky in front of the formation like a wolf. Is this the tiger that killed Situ Biao in front of the formation?
Sure enough, I was a little brave enough to fight against the troops alone!
In a flash, a burning fighting spirit had already ignited in Tuoba Tao's eyes. If Situ Rui had not ordered repeatedly, Tuoba Tao would have already stepped forward to fight!
Although Situ Biao was known as the number one general of the Mingyue Empire, Tuoba Tao never thought that his martial arts skills were inferior to his.

"Xilulu..."
In front of the two armies, Meng Hu held back his horse and the horse under his crotch suddenly raised his head and neighed with a sad voice. He kicked the iron hooves in the air twice. After landing, he galloped towards the left. The smoke and dust suddenly rose in the wilderness. The red sun rose eastward, dyeing Meng Hu and his people and their horses into a bright red color, like a layer of droplets of blood, which was so ferocious that it made people tremble!
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
Meng Hu galloped on his horse while constantly waving the big gun in his hand, doing his best to provoke. On the wall, the veterans who followed him from the Tiger Squadron began to cheer.
Meng Hu rode back and forth, but no one in the Mingyue army dared to fight, and the cheers from the closed gradually rose.
At first, it was the veterans who followed the Tiger Squadron, and then the new recruits from the Fifth Regiment. In the end, even Zhao Qinghan and the female soldiers of the Qingyi Guard couldn't help but start shouting. The messy shouts gradually gathered into a neat rhythm, one wave higher than another, and finally gathered into a cheer like a tsunami collapse...
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
Amid the cheers of the Fourth Division's soldiers like a tsunami, Meng Hu stopped again, then raised his big gun high towards the central army of the Mingyue Empire, and the tip of the gun swayed left and right. This action has a special meaning, representing contempt, mockery, disdain and other meanings. In the Middle Earth world, few people can tolerate such insults!
Provocation, this is a naked provocation to the Mingyue army!
The cheers of the soldiers of the Fourth Division became even more intense, and almost even their voices broke. The tension just now disappeared. However, the soldiers of the Mingyue Empire Army lowered their high heads and showed humiliation on their faces. Such insults were definitely a heavy blow to the soldiers of the Mingyue Empire.

Hexi Fortress, high on the wall.
Seeing the recruits who were trembling with nervousness just now, they became more morale and more confident in the blink of an eye. A trace of inexplicable meaning flashed through Zhao Qinghan's beautiful eyes. All this was just because of that man, that man, that man, made these recruits no longer nervous and despair...
This is a man who can turn the overall situation around on his own!
Uncontrollably, Zhao Qinghan gave Meng Hu this definition in his heart.

In front of the fortress, the middle of the army was bright moon.
A violent twitch appeared on the corner of Tuoba Tao's mouth, and his heart was already in a state of uproar. He really wanted to rush forward desperately and knock the arrogant man down. However, he could not do this because he was the commander of the Third Division of the Qingzhou Legion. He was in the safety of tens of thousands of soldiers, and he could not take risks!
"Don't pay attention to that lunatic!"
Tuoba Tao's cold voice almost collapsed from his teeth, "The whole army advances forward in an attacking formation!"
With the order from Tuoba Tao, the Mingyue army, which was waiting for battle, began to slowly advance forward, just like a rolling iron stream carrying an unstoppable momentum, slowly crushing towards Meng Hu and Hexi Fortress. Meng Hu had no choice but to ride a horse and speed into the pass. The goal of boosting the morale of the army has been achieved, and there is no need to continue fighting.
Meng Hu never thought that he could defeat the entire Mingyue army by his own strength.
After all, a person is a flesh and blood body, and a person's physical strength is limited after all.
If he is shot by an archer or stabbed by a gun, Meng Hu will die. He can kill the enemy general in front of the formation, but he cannot kill all the enemy's troops.

Xiling, Governor's Office.
When Zhao Yue woke up early in the morning, he always felt a little restless. When he was about to go to the backyard to practice swords, his confidant Zheng Ke suddenly walked in with a hurried look and said anxiously: "Sir, something happened!"
Zhao Yue's heart was thrilled when he heard this, and he tried to calm down and said, "Speak slowly, what happened?"
Zheng Ke took a deep breath of air conditioning and said, "The beacon fire on Qingyun Mountain is lit!"
"The beacon fire on Qingyun Mountain?" Zhao Yue's eyes suddenly contracted and he said sternly, "Are you telling the Yue army is invading?"
Zheng Ke focused his attention and replied: "If it weren't for the Mingyue army's attack, how could thunder dare to ignite the beacon?"
"Oh no!" Zhao Yue suddenly remembered something, and his face changed drastically, "Girl Qinghan is hunting in Qingyun Mountain. She won't run into the Mingyue army, right?"
Zhao Yue has always regarded Zhao Qinghan as the pearl in his palm. He really held it in his palm and was afraid of falling, and he was afraid of melting it in his mouth. Because he was worried that Zhao Qinghan would be wronged, Zhao Yue never reopened the strings after his original wife died. With his dignified governor and one of the four major dukes of the empire, it is hard to imagine. Look at other powerful people, who are not wives and concubines and children?
Because of this, Zhao Yue immediately panicked when he heard that Zhao Qinghan might be in danger.
Zhao Yue’s concern was also Zheng Ke’s concern. Zheng Ke wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered: “Sir, you must send reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late.”
"What are you waiting for!" Zhao Yue was so anxious that he was about to jump. His usual calmness and calmness had long known where he flew to. At this time, Zhao Yue was just an ordinary father who was worried about his daughter's safety. He shouted, "Hurry up and let Zhan Ying lead the cavalry corps to set out first, and then let Li Mingfeng and Wu Qida lead the army to the Hexi Fortress immediately!"
"Yes, I will go and pass the order now."
Zheng Ke agreed, turned around and left.

Hexi Canyon.
When the fortress was only about two hundred steps away, the Mingyue army finally stopped advancing, and the baggage soldiers began to nervously form siege ladders and city-hit cars. This distance was just outside the range of bows and arrows. Although the large catapult could drive shells four or five hundred steps away, Tuoba Tao had already obtained information. There was no catapult in the Hexi Fortress, so he seemed fearless.
There is indeed no catapult in the Hexi Fortress, and there is not even an archer.
In Zhao Yue's eyes, the Hexi Fortress is just a large "beacon tower". Its function is to ignite the beacon fire when the Mingyue Empire launches a large-scale invasion. That's all, otherwise Zhao Yue would not have handed over the fortress to a newly formed light army regiment!
You should know that before the Fifth Regiment settled in Hexi Fortress, only one brigade of the Second Division was stationed here.
The only thing that is thankful is that the Hexi Fortress is built along the mountain, so the stones are inexhaustible. Since entering the fortress, Meng Hu has begun to prepare stones to guard against the Mingyue army at any time. As the saying goes, there is no danger if you are prepared. Today, these stones are finally coming in handy.
"Dunzi, what are you doing with a rough stroke? Take someone to carry the two big perforated stones here!"
"Minzi, don't just chat with the girl. Take someone to check the winch three times. If something goes wrong when defending the city, I will squeeze your eggs!"
"Dog, you are lazy, are you bullying the recruits?"
"Duzi, where is your knife? When the enemy comes to the city later, do you want to find a knife? Do you plan to bite it with your teeth or poke it with your egg?"
Meng Hu was patrolling back and forth on the wall, while patrolling and scolding people. No matter whether the unlucky new recruits were wrong or not, they would inevitably be scolded as long as they hit them. However, the new recruits who were scolded were not concerned and were all happy. They looked so mean, they seemed to like being scolded.
Not far away, Ng Junyi curled her lips and whispered: "Sister Qinghan, who are these people? They are so vulgar."
Zhao Qinghan ignored Ng Junyi. She had already seen the trick. Meng Hu's words sounded vulgar at first glance, but they were very popular with the soldiers below. The atmosphere, which seemed a bit solemn, became relaxed immediately after being disturbed by Meng Hu's few words. The newly recruits even had a smile on their faces!
Obviously, Meng Hu is cheering these recruits in his unique way, and this method is very effective.
If other generals were here, this would never be possible, and it would be impossible for these recruits to get rid of the tense atmosphere before the war.
This is really a very, very special man. He can not only turn the situation around with his own strength, but also affect everyone around him, making others unable to help but get angry, laugh, and his blood boiling. Before he knew it, Zhao Qinghan added a new comment to Meng Hu.
"Dong!"
"roar!"
"Dongdong!!"
"Roar!!"
"Dongdongdongdongdong!!!"
"Ho huh huh!!!"
The sound of war drums that shocked the world suddenly rang out of the pass without warning. Amid the intense and high-pitched war drums, the dark and bright moon army lined up in neat formations, shouting neat horns, and began to slowly advance. Meng Hu suddenly turned around, and a scorching murderous intent appeared in his eyes. Are you finally going to start an attack?
