The vast river through the sky, rushing endlessly, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, I don't know how to feed hundreds of millions of Kyushu creatures, but also make the four southern and central states become the most prosperous place in southern Xinjiang, the population of any state is hundreds of millions, Qinzhou is only a few million people of the state and county is incomparable.

The reason why the river has the name of the sky, in addition to its incomparably wide and deep, is also because its source comes from the high Nanhua Mountain.

Nanhua Mountain is one of the most famous fairy mountains in Kyushu, and legend has it that Nanhua Lao Xian has been cultivating in Nanhua Mountain, and finally ascended to the Tao.

Therefore, Nanhua Mountain is also known as the closest place to the heavenly realm, hiding the gateway passage to the heavenly realm. The big river that comes from Nanhua Mountain naturally has the name of Tongtian.

Of course, legends are legends after all, and even whether Nanhua Laoxian really exists, few people are clear.

Today's Tongtian River, for Dashu, has become the biggest obstacle to sweeping away the rebels.

If it weren't for the existence of the Tongtian River, the southern frontier of Dashu would not be able to escape from the rule of Dashu, and Yonghong and other major clans in the south would never have the courage to raise the banner of anti-Shu.

Half of the territory of the four states in the south and central states, the three states against Shu, and Wang Yanyongzhou's territory fell into the hands of the three-state coalition army, and half was divided by the Southern Barbarian Army and the Yellow Turban Army.

Now the entire Tianzhou and a quarter of Yongzhou's territory are under the control of the Southern Barbarian Army, and millions of Shu troops have launched an offensive against Yongzhou, which can only be resisted by the Southern Barbarian Army alone.

It's not that the Sanzhou Coalition Army and the Yellow Turban Army don't want to help the Southern Barbarian Army, after all, everyone is a glory and a loss, but this time the offensive launched by the Shu Army is too fierce, and the direct use of more than three million troops, in addition to nearly two million troops ready to participate in the war at any time, the pressure on the Sanzhou Coalition Army and the Yellow Turban Army is also extremely great.

Once they divide their forces to help the Southern Barbarian Army, I am afraid that the reserve forces of the Shu Army will immediately press up with all their strength and completely destroy the defense line of the Sanzhou Coalition Army and the Yellow Turban Army.

With three million Shu troops, more than one million attacking the Southern Barbarian Army, plus Ma Zhong's 300,000 troops, the Shu Army can be regarded as putting half of its troops into the battlefields of Tianzhou and Nanhua Mountain.

Not to mention that the Shu army dispatched the most elite troops, even Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong and Chen Zhi, the two gods of war, as well as the Bai Yu army under their command, all appeared on the battlefield of Nanhua Mountain.

Meng Shu had already scolded his mother in his heart, he knew that Shu valued him so much, and he should have hidden his edge before.

Don't look at his previous limelight, he occupied a lot of benefits, and benefited the most from the division of interests of the anti-Shu army, but now that the Shu army really treats him as the head of the anti-Shu forces, Meng Shu knows that the advantage is not so easy to take advantage of, and the heritage of Shu is too terrifying.

Compared with the alliance forces of the four counties and three states in Nanzhong adjacent to the Tongtian River, as well as Zhang Jiao, who was a man of two lifetimes, Meng Huo, the overlord of the soil who was born in the land of the Southern Barbarians, did not attach too much importance to naval warfare.

After the anti-Shu coalition army captured Wangzhou Baozhou, Zhang Jiao and others did not hesitate to give up other benefits, and they had to get the shipyard and shipwright, so that the number of water soldiers and ships in the hands of the Southern Barbarian Army was not large.

Originally, in Meng Shu's plan, as long as the Southern Barbarian Army had the advantage of steel armor and steel bows, plus the advantages of soldiers and mounts, even if the Shu army came by warship, the Southern Barbarian Army only needed to defend the fortress on the riverbank, and could destroy the Shu warships with bows, arrows, beds, crossbows, etc.

Now that the Shu army has come to attack with all its might, using hundreds of huge ships and countless warships, Meng Shu realized that his previous ideas were too naïve.

In just ten days, the naval fleet of the Southern Barbarian Army was sunk by the Shu army, nearly 100,000 casualties, and the remaining warships and boats could only hide in the tributary bays of the south bank, and did not dare to enter the Tongtian River at all.

From the high altitude, the entire Tianzhou and Yongzhou river sections are full of warships and ships flying the flag of the Great Shu Army.

Huge ships four or five stories high, lined up, constantly bombarded the array of the Southern Barbarian Army on the bank of the river, and the catapults and stone carts also continued to smash the boulders and stones into the Southern Barbarian Army array.

In particular, the largest dragon roar giant ship of the Shu army, which is six stories high and two hundred meters long, the dragon roar cannon at the bow of the ship can bombard the giant stone more than ten miles away, and each giant stone is equivalent to the magic power of the five-grade scholar, I don't know how many soldiers of the Southern Barbarian Army were killed by the dragon roar cannon without any resistance!

Although most of the Shu giant ships did not have an advantage in range, the problem was that they were flexible in their transfers, and they often attacked suddenly, bombarded fiercely, poured out crossbow arrows and stones, and even attacked the river bank with surprise troops and killed them on a large scale, and then drove the boat back.

The Southern Barbarian Army finally mobilized ordnance to fight against the Shu giant ship, and the Shu giant ship went in another direction, and the Southern Barbarian Army could only run for its life.

How can the transfer of large ordnance on land be compared to the ordnance that was originally on top of the battleship, and if the ordnance cannot be mobilized in time, how can it deal with the bombardment of the giant ship?

For a time, the Southern Barbarian Army completely fell into a situation of passive beating, being harassed and attacked by dozens of fleets of the Shu Army in turn, countless ordnance destroyed by giant ships, and tens of thousands of soldiers died under the attack.

The most terrible thing is that the Shu army harassed tactics so much that the morale of the Southern Barbarian army was completely lost, and now seeing the Shu army fleet attacking, many troops did not mobilize ordnance to resist it at the first time, but immediately led the army to withdraw from the attack range of the Shu army fleet.

If the Shu army really took the opportunity to land and fight, it would be able to easily attack the south bank.

Meng Huo's hair didn't know how much white, obviously he had unified all the barbarian tribes in southern Xinjiang, and was promoted to the eight-rank Hao Heavenly God General, with two million soldiers and horses under his command, the territory was incomparably vast, and the situation looked extremely good, but in the face of the tactics of the Shu army, it was impossible to do anything, and finally had to be cheeky and ask Chu He for help.

In the face of Meng Shu's request for help, Chu He really couldn't turn a blind eye, so I won't say why, anyway, now the Changding Army and the Southern Barbarian Army are in a cold relationship.

Chu He groaned for a while, and sent a message to Meng Shu that the Changding Army could send a thousand scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry to help the Southern Barbarian Army deal with the Shu warships, but Meng Shu also had to send 20,000 elite soldiers to help him protect the base camp, and at the same time inform Meng Shu of the situation that Chen Zhi was promoted to the god of war, and Zhao Yun and Bai Yu's army appeared at the foot of Nanhua Mountain.

Chu He didn't plan to go back to deal with Zhao Zilong, after all, in this Nanhua Mountain, it was very likely that there was a more terrifying Zhuge Wolong Haotian Sword hidden than Zhao Zilong!

With Meng Shu and Long staring at Zhao Yun and Chen Dao, it is estimated that the safety of the rear is not a problem.

After all, the number of Shu troops who infiltrated the territory of the anti-Shu army was small, and they could only carry out special combat missions, as long as the grain and grass were protected, even Zhao Yun and the powerful Bai Yu army could not make any waves.

Meng Huo's side reacted extremely quickly.

The navy of the Shu army has become the heart of the Southern Barbarian Army, even if the Southern Barbarian Army has sent flight troops to deal with the fleet many times, but the flight troops of the Shu Army are not vegetarian, and the gap between the two sides is not large, the Shu Army Air Force has the bed crossbow of the battleship to help, and the Southern Barbarian Army will definitely suffer a big loss.

If the Scorpion-Tailed Tiger Air Cavalry joins, it will be different.

Meng Huo is deeply aware of the strength of this formed air force, and if it weren't for the help of the Scorpion Tail Tiger Air Cavalry, they probably wouldn't have been able to take the Golden Lingjiao.

This air force, armed to the teeth, is all four-grade or even five-grade demon beast mounts, which itself is extremely powerful in combat, and can give great deterrent to the enemy's mounts, and the poisonous tail of the scorpion-tailed winged tiger can easily poison the enemy, not to mention that the cavalry steel bow on his back can sweep everything and destroy the enemy two or three miles away.

In order to show the importance he attached to the Changding Army, Meng Xu personally ordered the wooden elephant, who had been promoted to the seventh-rank god of war, to lead five hundred giant elephant riders, two thousand Qingyun wolf riders and more than 10,000 elite barbarians to help the dragon and help him.

The dragon plus the wood elephant, and the wood elephant that was recently subdued, the seven-rank divine beast golden-eyed giant ape, which was used to replace the white dragon elephant, was not much inferior to Zhao Yun and Chen in terms of high-end combat power.

If Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi still dare to attack Chang Dingjun, they are likely to be entangled and unable to get out, and once Meng Shu and Chu He arrive, they will definitely be able to leave the two war gods of Shu Kingdom.

After learning about the situation in the rear, Chu He breathed a sigh of relief, and this time he could finally deal with Ma Zhong's army of more than 200,000 with peace of mind.

Although there are less than 1,000 scorpion tail tiger air cavalry, the combat power on the side of Chu River has not decreased much, Panshi Wei and Xuan Tie Wei have a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses, and thousands of Qianyuan Guard, which is enough to deal with Ma Zhong's army of more than 200,000 people, and after killing the sword army, Chu He also got a lot of bed crossbows, fire dragon cannons and other ordnance.

A considerable number of these weapons are in good condition, and many of them can be repaired and put into battle, greatly improving the long-range attack power of the Standing Army.

But it had taken four days to transfer troops back and forth, waiting for news, and Ma Zhong's large army had arrived less than two hundred miles away from Xianren Ridge.

Just as Chu He was about to lead the army to attack Ma Zhong's army head-on, a piece of news stunned him, and the generals of the Changding army couldn't understand that Ma Zhong's vanguard army turned in the direction of Hulu Valley, and the army that stretched for more than ten miles behind also showed signs of changing the marching route.

"What's going on, how did Ma Zhong go to Gourd Valley?"

Chu He frowned, the performance of the Shu army was too strange, since entering Nanhua Mountain, it has not been normal, can it still fight with the Changding army?

How enjoyable it was to fight with Lu Kai at the beginning, everyone had a face-to-face battle in the array, and what kind of conspiracy and intrigue couldn't be more annoying.

Huang Zhong and the veterans of Gong Yiche couldn't understand Ma Zhong's intentions, Hulu Valley was definitely a Jedi for soldiers, as long as the generals had a little brain, it was impossible to introduce troops into Hulu Valley.

Once the enemy seals the entrance to the canyon, there are not too many means to destroy the enemy, fire attack, earth and stone smashing, etc., not to mention that the Changding army has tens of thousands of elites here, even if there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, and set up a large array of ballistas, I am afraid that Ma Zhong's army will be trapped to death!

Everyone discussed to no avail, and finally Chu He quickly issued an order, the army was ready to fight at any time, and the scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry scouted and immediately rushed to the gourd valley to detect the situation in the gourd valley.

Originally, Chu He could still march quickly and stop the Shu army before it entered the Hulu Valley, but since the Shu army was going to die, Chu He certainly had no reason to refuse.

The efficiency of dozens of Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry scouts was very high, and in less than half an hour, the terrain of the gourd valley was presented on the sand table.

The Gourd Valley is a Jedi good, with steep and steep mountain walls, and even the Sanpin Martial Sect can't climb it.

There is no shortage of water in the valley, the mountain water goes down from the main peak of Nanhua Mountain, and several tributaries are separated at the top of the cliff outside the gourd valley, and there are waterfalls pouring down, forming a number of pools of different sizes in the valley.

There is also a river that flows out of the gourd valley, down the canyon, and then winds through the mountains until it enters a tributary of the Tongtian River.

There are many wild beasts and fierce birds living in the valley, and in the process of reconnaissance by the Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry, they found a six-rank demon beast and two five-grade silver-scaled pangolins, but these monsters had no impact on the battle of the army.

The generals carefully studied all the situations, and couldn't find the problem at all, the biggest possibility is that Ma Zhong relied on the terrain of the Hulu Valley to defend it, and then Zhuge Liang didn't know what means to use to force the Changding army to withdraw, and then Ma Zhong could kill from the Hulu Valley, and the inside and outside should be combined to attack the Changding army.

The problem is that Chu He can't think of any means for Zhuge Liang to have to retreat, even if the Bai Yu army really burns the grain and grass in the base camp of the Changding army, the rice and grain materials carried by Chu He, plus the capture of the sword army, can also consume Ma Zhong's army of more than 200,000 people.

Soon after, the spies continued to report that Ma Zhong's vanguard was marching rapidly and had approached the Hulu Valley.

After it was officially confirmed that Ma Zhong's troops had entered the Hulu Valley, Chu He did not hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered the Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry to help the crossbow operation to deliver the Eight Niu Armor-Breaking Crossbows and the captured bed crossbows, etc., and quickly rushed to the high ground on both sides of the Hulu Valley to set up a large array of ballistas.

Subsequently, more than 40,000 troops divided into two routes, one led by Huang Zhong and Jiang Wei, to monitor Ma Zhong's rear army, and all the way to the Chu River in person, and quickly rushed to Hulu Valley.

There have been no clashes between the parties.

Ma Zhong naturally also detected the movement of the Changding army, but he was bent on stationing in the Hulu Valley, allowing Chu He to arrange troops near the Hulu Valley, and Chu He also watched Ma Zhong's army enter the Hulu Valley one after another.

Ma Zhong really had the idea of holding on to the death, and when the vanguard army entered the gourd valley, he immediately dug up the mountain rocks and piled up the stone walls, laid down the horses and so on, and thousands of bed crossbowmen and 20,000 crossbowmen and 10,000 sword and shield men, pikemen, etc. were waiting in the outer valley.

With such terrain, it is not easy for the Shu army to kill out, and it is also difficult for the Changding army to attack it.

The gourd valley is huge, with a radius of more than ten miles, and the outer valley and the inner valley add up to hundreds of square miles, and it is not a problem to accommodate more than 200,000 troops.

Chu He has been frowning and watching the movements of the Shu army on the nearby hills, and now that more than 20,000 Changding troops have been stubbornly guarding the canyon, and another 20,000 Changding troops are distributed in various highlands, it is impossible for Ma Zhong to have a chance to break out of the encirclement!

But Chu He always felt as if he had neglected something, his brows never stretched, and finally decided to go around to see the situation in person, what was something he didn't expect.

Chu He rode the scorpion tail winged tiger air cavalry and rose into the air, with his current cultivation, as long as he did not fall into the battle formation of the army, or encountered Zhuge Wolong and other strong people to jointly besiege him, there was no danger at all, but there were still dozens of scorpion tail tiger air cavalry guards following him.

The group didn't fly far, Chu He suddenly narrowed his eyes, and suddenly saw hundreds of people walking carefully between the mountains and forests below.
