Xiao Zhixing received a message from Xiong Chumo on the way, saying that the other party did not go to Jianan Pass at all, and the army came directly to Aba Pass.

It is said that there are 200,000 troops, but it is estimated that there should be 150,000 troops.

Knowing that she was in Huzhou, they indeed came for her.

At Muchun Pass opposite Aba Pass, Xiahou Zhenglin glanced at all the generals, "The South is not the North. Xiao Zhixing doesn't have that many soldiers. We only need to focus on dealing with Xiong Chumo's 100,000 troops."

The Feng family has secretly agreed not to move, as Huo Baijun's army of 100,000 is involved with the Nanfan.

It happened that Huzhou was hit by a severe flood, and all the manpower and resources of Dasheng were concentrated there.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It is also the best opportunity to strike a blow to Xiao Zhixing.

"Even if we can't inflict heavy damage on the Xiao family army, we must at least recapture five cities."

The three forces in the Southern Yi all agreed on this point.

Not only because the loss of land affected their reputation, but also because Xiao Zhixing's strategy of liberating slaves had made the slave group in the Nanyi headquarters restless.

They yearned for the life in those five cities, and for this purpose they secretly accumulated strength, waiting to retaliate against the royal family of Nanyi.

Xiahou Zhenglin and others must suppress this trend, otherwise their rule will be in danger.

In this war, Xiahou Zhenglin led his troops to fight, and he wanted to meet Xiao Zhixing in person.

The experiences of Luo Wei and others gave him some guesses, so he wanted to contact Xiao Zhixing in person to determine her depth.

As for Xiao Zhixing, she gave several orders on the way.

"Tell Huo Baijun to defend Nanfan well and wait for an opportunity to strike."

"Tell Guan Dahai that it's time to take action."

Do you really think she'll wait for them to make the first move?

In the middle of the great flood in Huzhou, she estimated that the Nanyi and Nanfan would take advantage of the situation to rob, so she made some arrangements early.

Xiong Chumo secretly accumulated strength to prepare for war, and Guan Dahai's actions.

And Feng Mo.

She asked Hei Hu to inform him.

"We can take advantage of the situation to make a move." As for whether to seize military power or kill his brothers and Feng Lizhen, it depends on how he does it.

These arrangements were made behind the scenes, but she still looked anxious and rushed to Abaguan overnight.

"My Lord, the battle has already begun."

When they were still two days away from Aba Pass, the latest news was that the Nanyi people began to cross the river and attack Aba Pass.

In Xiong Chumo's lens, he was neither hasty nor slow, and arranged the army to stop the enemy from crossing the river.

This is just a tentative attack, the real bloody battle is yet to come.

The Southern Yi have many inland rivers, so there are also many sailboats.

The wooden boats they used to cross the river were covered with iron sheets and were converted from merchant ships.

The quality is not important, but the quantity is.

There have been heavy rains in the south recently, and the Jianan River has risen in water. The width of the river has increased to more than 4,000 feet. It is not a good time for the Southern Yi to attack now.

But they didn't want to miss the opportunity, so they called in more ships.

The densely packed wooden and iron boats on the other side of the river are quite intimidating.

Xiong Chumo looked calm and waved his hand, "Move."

A short dark-skinned young man beside him said, "Okay, General, just wait and see how hard I'll wait."

Soon, hundreds of young men dived into the river from a remote area on the side of the city like fish into water.

Xiahou Zhenglin soon received news that more than ninety ships had their bottoms pierced and were scrapped due to water leaking into them.

"It doesn't matter."

That was a ship whose bottom had not been covered with iron sheets in time, so the loss would not be too great.

They also have to guard against swimming enemies.

Xiong Chumo was not surprised. He ordered his men to set up a crossbow array on the shore and wait for the enemy.

Xiahou Zhenglin stood on a high tower on the river bank and looked out. "Probe the front and attack from the left!"

In the front, a row of wooden boats were moving forward, with human figures flashing on them.

Luo Zhengnan frowned, "Are they all phantoms?"

"Yes, the role of these ships is to consume our crossbow arrows. You go to the left side."

Luo Zhengnan ran away quickly without questioning his decision.

The Nanyi wooden boat was getting closer and closer, and Xiong Chumo signaled to wave the flag.

rustling.

bang bang bang-

The heavy crossbow arrows broke through the space and pierced through the wooden boats, knocking down the white sails.

More and more wooden boats sank and stopped in the river. When hundreds of wooden boats sank, they formed a wooden boat island in the river.

Xiong Chumo frowned, "No!"

Heihe's eyes flickered, "He not only wants to consume our crossbows, but also use this to build a bridgehead in the river."

The boats behind them continued to move forward, connecting the pile of abandoned ships in the river with the banks of the Nanyi River, and thus advancing the battle line.

Unless there is a flood that washes away the pile of wrecked ships, or destroys all their warships in one fell swoop.

Xiong Chumo frowned and thought.

Xiao Zhixing was also paying attention to the battle situation, and seeing this reminded him of a famous battle.

Just then, Xiong Chumo also said a word, "Fire."

The Black River chief responded quickly, "But how do we start a big fire?"

A small fire won't burn many ships.

Only a fire that cannot be extinguished can achieve the desired effect.

Didn't the Nanyi think of that? They certainly thought they would be attacked by fire.

But they knew that a small fire would not burn many ships, so they were fearless and not afraid of fire attacks.

The power of fire can be increased with the help of oil or wind, but where can we get so much oil in such a short time?

The wind is even more unpredictable. There is no one in this world who can call the wind and rain.

Sure enough, the Nanyi stopped advancing and instead arranged their ships in an orderly manner, spreading them out until they finally connected with the pile of wrecked ships in the river.

At this distance, the heavy crossbow arrows have the longest range and cannot hurt them.

The Southern Barbarians sounded the retreat.

Xiahou Zhenglin said to his subordinates: "Xiong Chumo is indeed a general that Xiao Zhixing values. He is young but very experienced and calm."

The attack on the left side did not produce any effect, but fortunately the first goal was achieved.

"Regent, the Southern Barbarians really want to learn from the Northern Barbarians. Their army is divided into two groups, one heading to the Yangzhou border, and the other heading to our Southern Barbarians' western frontier."

A scribe walked into the room and said quickly.

Xiahou Zhenglin was not surprised. "I have handed this matter over to Xiahou Gong. He can handle it."

Although the two have their disputes, they still trust each other. When it comes to national justice, they will not joke around.

The scholar nodded and sneered, "Wei Zhang is arrogant, I am waiting for him to fall."

Do you really think Huo Baijun from Yangzhou is a soft persimmon?

He divided his troops and placed the main force on the western front of Nanyi because he looked down on the young general Huo Baijun.

I thought I could just deal with it casually over there.

Xiahou Zhenglin said: "He has always been arrogant. He lost five cities but still failed to see the strength of his opponent. He deserves to fall."

They didn't dare to look down on Xiong Chumo.

These young people in Dasheng, led by Xiao Zhixing, should not be underestimated. Anyone who underestimates them will be in trouble.

At Abaguan, Xiong Chumo was racking his brains to think whether the fire attack method was feasible and how to implement it successfully?

"General, there's a letter from the prince!" The communications officer of the Condor Army sent a message.

Xiong Chumo took it and found a secret code inside, and he understood its meaning.

He then ordered, "Gather all the fuel and start the counterattack once the prince arrives."

"Yes!"

The two sides were close to each other and had spies buried on each side.

Xiong Chumo collected the fuel in a big way, and Xiahou Zhenglin soon got the news.

He was not worried, but the scholar reminded him, "Xiao Zhixing has arrived at Aba Pass, and I am worried that they have other tricks."

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Even if they do not admit that Xiao Zhixing is invincible, they have to put her in the position of the highest opponent.

Another general said disdainfully: "This is the South, not the North. Even if Xiao Zhixing comes here, she will have to kneel before this general."
