Just when Qi Yu was feeling guilty, Mu Qingyun slowly walked over and stopped in front of them.
He glanced at Qi Yu standing beside him, and seeing that he looked guilty, he sighed, "General Qi, what happened tonight was not entirely your fault."
Mu Qingyun knew very well that the enemy was cunning this time, and even though Qi Yu was a veteran, he would inevitably be careless sometimes.
Now that it has happened, there is no point in scolding him. It is far less practical than proposing a solution.
These words made Qi Yu feel even more guilty. If Mu Qingyun scolded him, he might feel better.
Instead of scolding him, he comforted him and told him not to take it to heart.
Thinking of the great revenge that had not been taken, his eyes became resolute: "Your Highness, please trust me again. I will definitely not let you down."
"Okay, then Your Highness will wait and see." A dark light flashed in Mu Qingyun's eyes.
Looking at Qi Yu's serious face, Mu Fan nodded with satisfaction. This kid has finally grown up.
The once arrogant and conceited young general has grown a lot after experiencing many setbacks.
Before coming here, Mu Qingyun had just received information that Yougujiang was intercepted by people from Cang'ao Kingdom with iron chains.
They wanted to go straight to Lin'an City, and Yougu River was the only way to go, but the iron chains stopped them from moving forward.
When he was worried about how to break the iron lock, Yan'er told him the method.
Thinking of the purpose of his coming here, Mu Qingyun decided to speak out his thoughts.
"Uncle Fan, the people of Cang'ao Country are so vicious that they actually put up iron chains on the river." Qi Yu was furious when he heard this information.
Unlike Qi Yu who was indignant, Mu Fan thought more.
The Cang'ao Kingdom wants to exhaust them to death, and he can't let them succeed.
While Mu Fan was thinking, he saw that Mu Qingyun seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and he became interested.
"Your Highness, if you have anything to say, please speak directly."
Mu Qingyun paused and said, "Regarding the matter of Yougu Jiang Tiesuo, I already have a solution."
Speaking of this, Qi Yu's eyes suddenly lit up. He asked anxiously: "Your Highness, what do you want me to prepare?"
He wished he could beat down the people from Cang'ao Country to vent his hatred.
Mu Qingyun told her thoughts in detail. After listening, Qi Yu couldn't help but admire: "Your Highness still has a solution."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun just smiled.
The next day, the sky was gray and not as hot as before.
Mu Qingyun got up early to make arrangements. He divided the ship into three parts.
The first part was Qi Yu leading fifty ships, which were arranged one by one in the front.
There were stoves on the boat, and on each stove was a large pot filled with oil, and the boat was piled with prepared firewood.
The soldiers at the bow were holding axes and tongs, preparing to burn and cut the iron chains, while at the stern there were dozens of archers, ready to defend against enemy attacks at any time.
The second part of the ships was commanded by Mu Qingyun. They were responsible for protecting the ships in front that were burning and cutting the iron chains. For this purpose, they prepared soybeans.
The last group of ships, commanded by Mu Fan, were loaded with torches in preparation for a subsequent attack.
Qi Yu led his men in a surprise attack last night. Although they suffered heavy losses, the soldiers of Cang Ao Kingdom were greatly affected.
Until this morning, Zhou Guoxiong was still worried. After breakfast, he came to the boat where Lin Feng was.
When he came, he saw from afar that on the opposite side of the river, there were densely packed ships of the Nanzhao Kingdom, like dark clouds, ready to approach at any time.
"Lin Feng, the people from Nanzhao Kingdom are about to attack. Are you all ready?" Zhou Guoxiong suppressed his worry and said slowly.
Lin Feng was unaware of Zhou Guoxiong's worries, and he was very confident in the iron chain he had prepared.
"Don't worry, General Zhou, they don't dare to come over."
Just as he finished speaking, they heard the sound of war drums. The sound of the drums was like thunder, striking everyone's heart.
The two men hurried out of the cabin and saw the opposite ship approaching at a very fast speed.
Zhou Guoxiong ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle and strike first before the enemy gets close.
Before the ship commanded by Qi Yu got close to the iron lock, they saw countless arrows shot from the opposite side.
His face darkened, and he directed the soldiers on the ship, shouting, "Brothers, get ready to charge."
The soldiers at the bow picked up the shields they had prepared in advance, gathered in the front, and blocked the flying arrows.
The ship commanded by Mu Qingyun followed closely behind. The soldiers threw the torches in their hands at the opposite ship, and the torches instantly set the ship on fire.
Then, Mu Qingyun asked the soldiers to throw the prepared soybeans onto the opposite boat.
As soon as the soybeans fell to the ground, the unprepared soldiers of the Cang'ao country stepped on them, slipped and fell flat on their backs.
The Nanzhao soldiers who saw this scene finally understood at this moment that this was the use of these soybeans.
Unlike the Nanzhao Kingdom which was secretly happy, Zhou Guoxiong was so angry that his face turned red. He waved the long sword in his hand and knocked the flying torch into the water.
Suddenly, raging flames rose on the water surface, and the anger was directed at the soldiers.
During the fight, some soldiers were accidentally pushed into the water, causing heat waves to roll in the water. Countless soldiers were killed and wounded on the surface of the river, and the river was dyed red with blood.
Regardless of his own safety, Qi Yu rowed the boat to the iron lock and ordered the soldiers to burn the iron lock with fire.
After burning for a while, the iron lock did not move at all.
The soldiers were sweating profusely and looked in a miserable state due to the smoke from the fire.
"General Qi, the iron chain won't burn. What should we do?" the soldier shouted anxiously.
"Calm down and keep burning." Qi Yu gritted his teeth.
Mu Nanyan was in the cabin, watching all this silently.
When she saw that the fire could not burn through the iron lock, she summoned Xuan Feng out.
"Xuan Feng, the fire you spit out can burn the iron lock, right?"
Xuan Feng was a little drowsy, but when he heard Mu Nanyan calling him, he woke up.
"Master, the fire I spit out is not ordinary fire." Xuan Feng said proudly.
Its fire can burn many things in this world.
Mu Nanyan knew its strength and didn't care about its arrogance. "Then you should burn those iron chains quickly. They can't hold on any longer."
As she spoke, she gave Xuan Feng a magical fruit that it had never seen before.
"Okay, master." Xuan Feng responded happily.
It flew into the air and its body suddenly grew larger.
Originally, Lin Feng was secretly happy that the enemy was helpless against his iron chains.
Just when I was happy for a while, I heard a "bang" and the sound of the iron lock breaking.
When he saw it, he was a little bit unbelievable. How could the iron lock...
He saw an unfamiliar giant bird in the sky opposite him, spitting fire from its mouth, which burned his iron chains.
The soldiers of Nanzhao Kingdom watched all this with wide eyes.
"Look, it's a divine bird." a soldier shouted.
Qi Yu was the one who reacted the fastest. He asked someone to throw the broken iron lock into the oil pan.
"The iron chain is broken, brothers, let's charge."
Zhou Guoxiong was filled with anger when he saw this. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be afraid, everyone. Let's do our best."
For a moment, the two hostile parties fought and killed each other.
