The powerhouse of the Condensation Gang Realm has already reached the realm of condensing qi into the Gang, not to mention the ability to fight individually, the killing efficiency on the battlefield alone is more than that of the Yun Jin Realm.

Just like if you want to kill a hundred people, the Yun Jin Realm needs to kill them one by one, but the Ning Gang Realm only needs to release the Gang Qi, that is, it can wipe out all the hundred people with one blow. It is precisely because of this killing efficiency that the powerhouse of the Condensation Realm is a very terrifying existence on the battlefield, and allowing a powerhouse of the Condensation Realm to kill wantonly regardless of that is a huge blow to morale.

Chen Zhong and Xun Yan thought for a long time, and finally Chen Zhong said: "Lord, although the strength of this Dian Jie and Dian Wei is strong, but our army is not weak, although now Xu Dingjun Sima is seriously injured and in a coma, but Xu Chu and Ji are both the strength of the Ning Gang Realm, compared to Dian Jie and Dian Wei, and our army except for Xu Xiaowei and Ji Xiaowei, Yu Xiaowei and Chen Jun Sima are also strong in the Yunjin Realm, although I only have the cultivation of the peak of spiritual consciousness now, However, Xiaoxian and Xiu Ruo both have the cultivation of the early stage of the Void Soul Realm, and our army will surpass Zhang Miao in terms of the number of top powerhouses, even if Zhang Miao receives the assistance of Cao Cao and Bao Xin, the number of top powerhouses is at most equal to our army. And once the top combat power is equal, only in terms of the combat power of the soldiers, Zhang Miao, Cao Cao, and Bao Xin will not be able to compare with us. ”

After listening to Chen Zhong's words, Yuan Shu's complexion recovered.

It was indeed that he was a little stunned just now, just because he was a little too concerned when he heard that Dian Wei could fight with Xu Chu, but now that he was awakened by Chen Zhong so little, Yuan Shu found that if he really wanted to talk about the number of top combat power, his side was not false at all, even if Zhang Miao, Cao Cao, and Bao Xin worked together, even if their own side could not win in terms of top combat power, they could remain undefeated.

And if the top combat power can remain undefeated, it is the middle-level combat power and the competition of soldiers that will determine the victory, and Yuan Shu is even more confident in this regard. The 50,000 troops he brought with Chen Liu this time were either the old soldiers of Nanyang who followed him to participate in the princes' discussion of Dong, or the young and strong Yellow Turbans of Runan, all of whom were young and middle-aged, and because Yuan Shu treated his subordinates very well, these soldiers were in excellent physical condition and were willing to die for Yuan Shu. This is something that no other prince can match.

Therefore, if the battle is really to compete with the elite level of the soldiers in the end, Yuan Shu's side actually has a great advantage.

After thinking about this, Yuan Shu's heart settled down, looked at Chen Zhong and Xun Yan and asked again: "Xiaoxian, Xiu Ruo, according to the three of you, how many days does it take for this Yongqiu to settle down, when will we send troops to Chenliu County to ensure that Yongqiu does not have problems?" ”

Chen Zhong continued at this time: "Lord, if you want to send troops to Chenliu County, your subordinates suggest that the sooner the better, now that Zhang Miao is newly defeated, Cao Cao and Bao Xin have not yet come to Chenliu County, at this time, you may be able to take advantage of the situation to capture Chenliu County and drive Zhang Miao to the north of Chenliu County." As for Yongqiu, if the lord is not at ease, he can leave thousands of soldiers and horses and a general to guard the town to ensure the rear of our army. ”

After listening to Chen Zhong's words, Yuan Shu nodded in agreement, and then ordered: "Someone, pass on my order, order Qiao Rui to lead 3,000 troops to stay in Yongqiu, be sure to keep Yongqiu from losing, Xu Ding and all the wounded soldiers will stay in Yongqiu, and the others will follow me to lead the remaining 40,000 people north into Chenliu County." ”

"We obey!"

Ji Ling, Chen Zhong, and Xun Yan all got up and gave orders to Yuan Shu. The next day, Qiao Rui, together with 3,000 soldiers and horses, and many wounded soldiers stayed in Yongqiu, and Yuan Shu led the rest of the men north to march north to Chenliu County.

The distance between Yongqiu and Chen Liucheng was not far, and Yuan Shu led the army to march all the way, so when the 40,000 Yuan Shu army appeared under Chen Liucheng, Zhang Miao, who returned to Chen Liucheng and thought that he could have a few days of comfortable life, was shocked, and hurriedly led thousands of soldiers and horses in Chen Liucheng to defend the city.

After Yuan Shu led his troops to Chen Liucheng, he only rested for an hour, that is, he ordered a fierce attack on Chen Liucheng, and did not give Zhang Miao any time to react at all, under the situation that 40,000 Yuan Shu soldiers and soldiers were divided into three groups to take turns to attack Chen Liucheng, even if Chen Liucheng was guarded by Dian Jie and Dian Wei, but it was still captured by Yuan Shu's army on the morning of the second day.

However, in order to capture this Chen Liucheng, Yuan Shujun paid a lot of casualties, at least more than 1,000 people died under Chen Liucheng, and they could never open their eyes. Moreover, in addition to the soldiers who died in battle, there were not a few others who were seriously injured and lightly wounded. At present, Yuan Shu's army still maintains an intact combat strength, and there are only about 35,000 people. However, if Yongqiu and the slightly injured people in Chen Liucheng are gathered, Yuan Shu's current available troops will be close to 40,000.

Before Chen Liucheng was breached, Zhang Miao left Chen Liucheng under the escort of the two brothers Dian Jie and Dian Wei, and headed towards Xiaohuang County in the north of Chen Liucheng. And Yuan Shu did not send anyone to pursue Zhang Miao this time because of Xu Chu's previous experience, but first stabilized the situation in Chenliu County before making the next step.

Chenliu County is the political center of Chenliu County, and it is also the most powerful county of Zhang Miao, and it is not a simple matter to eliminate Zhang Miao's influence. However, fortunately, Chen Zhong and Xun Yan are responsible for this matter, and with the ability of Chen Zhong and Xun Yan, there is no big problem in stabilizing a Chenliu county.

However, it was precisely because Yuan Shu did not lead the army to pursue Zhang Miao at the first time, but stabilized the land of Chenliu counties that he had now occupied, so that Cao Cao and Bao Xin's two armies arrived in Xiaohuang County to join Zhang Miao.

On the third day after Zhang Miao fled to Xiaohuang County under the escort of the two brothers Dian Jie and Dian Wei, the two armies appeared in the north of Xiaohuang County, which attracted Zhang Miao's attention.

He has already received the news that Yuan Shu has let Chen Zhong and Xun Yan stabilize the situation in Chenliu County, and it is possible to go north to Xiaohuang County at any time, and Zhang Miao will not have the confidence to be able to hold Xiaohuang County at that time, once Xiaohuang County is occupied by Yuan Shu, two-thirds of the entire Chenliu County will be occupied by Yuan Shu, which can be regarded as very bad news for Zhang Miao.

However, now Cao Cao and Bao Xin are leading two armies to help, which can be regarded as solving Zhang Miao's urgent need. This time, Cao Cao and Bao Xin each brought only 15,000 soldiers and horses, plus the soldiers and horses that Zhang Miao can mobilize now, at least in terms of numbers, Zhang Miao, Cao Cao, and Bao Xin's three-way coalition army is not much different from Yuan Shu.
