It's a pity that many soldiers of the Wuhun Empire could not adapt to the irregular shaking of the ship, vomiting again and again, and had no combat effectiveness.

This made Qian Nawei wonder if she wanted to learn Cao Cao, connecting the boat for dozens of miles with iron locks, and laying the pedals to be a bridge?

But fortunately, after a long period of training, Qian Nawei finally trained a group of sailors who could adapt to warships, and a batch of large ships were also manufactured, so after thinking twice, she gave the order to let Meng De go around again.

To the southwest of the Star Luo Empire, a field road that is not an official road.

A large number of war horses rumbled forward and continued to move forward steadily, and on top of the horses, one by one the soldiers of the Wuhun Empire were wearing standard military uniforms, carrying a recurve compound bow behind their backs, looking forward, full of energy, full of confidence!

The horses were connected in patches, scattered and relatively spread, occupying a large area, galloping on the undulating rice fields of the Star Luo Empire without any scruples.

Because it was the winter of the Star Luo Empire at this time, the rice fields had dried up, and the rice in the field was only a straw nearly a foot long, and the rice ears had been cut off in advance by the Star Luo Empire military a long time ago.

Under the easterly north wind, a large area of straw leaned back slightly, like a person greeting the soldiers of the Wuhun Empire.

Today's weather also happens to be very good, the orange-yellow sun is sprinkled, putting on a layer of golden armor for many soldiers of the Wuhun Empire, and also bringing some warmth to everyone.

Meng De rode at the forefront of the three armies, and unlike Qian Nawei, he was a soul master with high combat effectiveness, and he was not afraid of sneak attacks or anything, so he was always at the forefront of the team.

The orange-yellow sunlight shone on Mengde's face from the side, like an angel gently touching his face.

In such an atmosphere, Meng De's face was even more confident, he laughed wildly and heroically, and rode his horse to gallop......

A few days later, Meng De finally led an army of 50,000 to the north of Gengxin City, and from Gengxin City, there was only one valley called "Desperate Valley".

Although this valley is a valley, the mountains next to it are not tall and steep, only one or twenty meters high and only a dozen degrees of inclination on the sides, so that no defense line can be organized.

This is also the reason why Qian Nawei let Meng De attack the Yellow Dragon from here to attack Gengxin City.

In front of the Valley of Despair, there is also an unknown town.

Southwest of the Star Luo Empire, a small town in the northern part of the Valley of Despair, noon.

Outside the town, Meng Dehao's mighty army of 50,000 finally entered from the north, and many soldiers gathered their ranks and entered the town in a straight line.

Mende still rode at the front of the group.

The weather was not good today, and there were many heavy dark blue clouds floating in the sky, blocking the sun and darkening the earth.

The cold wind from the northeast howled and blew from the north, bringing coldness to everyone.

The weeds on the side of the road are quite dry and yellow, and they have lost their vitality and vitality.

In such an environment, many soldiers of the Wuhun Empire, including Meng De, had the seraphim pattern embroidered on the left chest unable to shine, as if it was covered by dark clouds.

Meng De rode a horse, "clicking" step by step on the paved bluestone road of the town, walking forward, while watching the pedestrians and scenery on the left and right.

This is a seemingly very peaceful town, although the town has been bombed by Wuhun Empire planes, and there are many ruins everywhere, there are still some people on both sides of the main street.

Many people retreated in horror when they saw Meng De and his troops, and no one was not afraid of the army, especially the army of a hostile country, although Meng De did not order a mass killing.

As he walked, Meng De searched for the entrances to those underground bomb shelters, where he needed supplies today, or perhaps now.

The flour rationed by the Wuhun Empire for Meng De has been eaten up, and some of the extra war horses led by some soldiers have also been eaten, although there are still a lot left, but for the sake of insurance, Meng De still has to purchase some grain from the Star Luo Empire.

Of course, Qian Nawei also gave Meng De an order to allow the forcible borrowing of food from the residents, the so-called forcible borrowing is actually similar to plundering, the difference is that the forcible borrowing must leave enough rations for the residents before the first wave of grain is harvested next summer.

In addition, an IOU must be written for borrowing, and it must be returned to the residents after the war, and in addition, it is not possible to rob people, and it is not possible to forcibly take people to the Wuhun Empire.

Recalling Qian Nawei's order, Meng De was about to dismount, and actually saw an old lady in front of him.

It was an elderly woman with gray hair, cooking a pot of meat, with a number of black and white feathers next to it.

Is it a bird?

Meng De raised an eyebrow.

Because of the relationship between the soul bones of the head of the three-headed dog of hell, Meng De could clearly smell it, and a rich fragrance wafted into his nose.

It smells so good!

Meng De sniffed deeply, but suddenly frowned.

Strange, how can it be mixed with a hint of a strange smell that is a little different? What exactly?

Not far ahead, the old lady was cooking and shouting to the side of the road.

"Guinea fowl, delicious guinea fowl, Xingluo specialty, don't miss it when you pass by, a bowl of silver coins ......"

Guinea fowl?

Meng De had a hint of curiosity on his face, he really hadn't eaten guinea fowl.

Although the hint of other smells made Meng De's heart a little uneasy, it was just noon, his stomach was already "gurgling", and saliva was already secreted from the wall of his mouth.

Swallowing his saliva, Mundetti pulled the reins of his horse.

"Drive!"

The war horse received the order, and the tail of the horse behind it flicked from side to side, and walked forward, step by step, in front of the old woman.

The old woman hurriedly and enthusiastically served a bowl of chicken and chicken soup with some jet-black color.

"Young man, you're from the Martial Spirit Empire, right? This is our special guinea fowl of the Star Luo Empire, delicious and nourishing, mellow and fragrant, come, drink to warm up. ”

As she spoke, the old woman walked out of her stall, carrying a small black-brown bowl with a diameter of about ten centimeters, and walked towards Meng De.

Meng De was about to reach out to pick it up, but suddenly, two breaths erupted from the nostrils of the war horse under his crotch, and his footsteps moved to the side, carrying Meng De to the other side!

It's like an old woman!

The smile on the old woman's face did not decrease, and she smiled kindly at the top eight teeth, and stepped forward again.

Meng De also smiled, bent down, stretched out his right hand, and prepared to pick up the small bowl in the old woman's hand.

But the next moment, suddenly, the war horse neighed, turned around, raised its upper body and two front hooves high, and actually wanted to crush the old woman!

The old woman looked at the enlarged iron hooves in front of her, screamed in fright, and held a bowl of chicken with soup in her hand. fell to the ground, and he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.

The old woman put one hand in front of her head in horror.

"Don't, don't come, don't kill me!"

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang, and by the time the old woman took her hand away again, the stout pony in front of her was already lying on the side of the road, panting for breath.

Meng De stood on the ground, clapped his hands, and smiled at the old woman.

"I'm sorry, I didn't discipline well, I scared the old man."

After thinking about it, for no reason, Meng De didn't want to eat the meat cooked and sold by the old woman, so he looked at the soldiers behind him and ordered: "Come on, bring another horse, this war horse will be killed if it is injured." ”

The old woman hurriedly said two "thank you" in succession, then turned around, took a small black and brown bowl from the stall, filled a bowl of chicken soup and chicken, and turned to Meng De with a kind smile on her face.

"Young man, you were so good just now, how did you bring down that tall horse?"

Meng De was about to ride a new war horse, and when he heard the old woman's question, he smiled, "It's okay, it's just brute force." ”

As he spoke, Meng De stepped on the newly pulled war horse with one foot.

The old woman stepped forward at this time and came to Meng De with a bowl in both hands.

"This general, come, eat a bowl of chicken and go, it's noon......"

The old woman glanced at the many soldiers behind Meng De, "How can anyone not eat?" ”

Meng De thought about it, felt right, stepped on the feet of the horse's shoes and walked down, his hands forward, ready to take the small black and brown bowl in the old woman's hand.

But at this moment, I don't know what happened, a northeasterly wind blew, carrying a trace of sand and dust, which blinded Meng De's eyes.

Meng De's eyes stinged, and while his eyes were closed, his hands involuntarily raised up, trying to wipe his eyes.

With this lift, he knocked into the small black-brown bowl in the old woman's hand, and a bowl of fragrant chicken and chicken soup was about to fall to the ground.

The old woman's eyes were quick, and her hands brought up an afterimage, and almost in an instant, she stabilized the small black and brown bowl and leveled it again!

It's just that I didn't see all this because Meng De was wiping his eyes.

After wiping for a moment, Meng De narrowed his eyes, and was greeted by the old woman's kind smile that bloomed like a chrysanthemum, and the rich salty smell of chicken.

Smelling this smell, Meng De's stomach couldn't help but scream even more, he was not embarrassed, the corners of his mouth hooked, stretched out a hand, and was about to take the small black and brown bowl in the old woman's hand again.

Meng De's fingers touched the edge of the small bowl, but at this moment, suddenly, the edge of the bowl slipped, and the bowl full of hot and fragrant chicken turned out to be down, about to fall!

The old woman hurriedly caught it with both hands, and this time, there was no dazzling afterimage.

Meng De scoffed.

"Madame, you shouldn't have poisoned this chicken, right? I have 10,000 thoughts in my heart telling me not to eat your bowl of chicken. ”

Meng De's words are true, from the beginning of the initial movement of the war horse, there was a voice in Meng De's heart that kept ringing: don't eat this bowl of chicken, don't eat this bowl of chicken, don't eat this bowl of chicken......

Hearing this, the old lady was startled and hurriedly defended.

"Oh, General, how dare I poison it! There are so many of you, am I not going to die? I really didn't poison it, don't believe it......"

The old lady looked at the group of Martial Spirit Empire soldiers who followed behind.

"If you don't believe me, try it with a silver needle to see if I've poisoned it!"

Meng De waved his hand, "No need, I know you didn't poison it." ”
