Liu Yan held the military and political power, and he was a person who knew the soldiers, and he could see at a glance the unusualness of the Changding Township army of Chu He.

In just three hours, the rapid march of two hundred miles, the team did not scatter, the queue was neat, like a black dragon quickly marching on the mountain road, this alone is not something that ordinary troops can do.

Moreover, the bright steel armor and steel soldiers, reflecting a cold light in the moonlight, showed that the news of the spies was not exaggerated, and this was really a terrible army armed with a lot of steel.

Liu Yan didn't know that if it weren't for the lack of manpower to build armor, the current steel output of the steelmaking yard could even allow Chu He to wrap all the 6,000 soldiers in steel.

Ordinary soldiers can't see the horror of this army, but Liu Yan, Su Ke, and Chen Hua, the three-grade Confucian students, can feel the killing aura that shrouds the army in Changding Township, which is as strong as a blood cloud, enough to suffocate people.

In Liu Yan's eyes, this strong blood qi seemed to turn into a creeping tiger, and as the army moved forward, it was silently approaching the prey, and it could launch an incomparably fierce offensive at any time!

Based on Liu Yan's three-grade realm, he can only judge that this army is very strong, far stronger than he expected, as for how strong it is, Liu Yan can't judge it.

For generals and Confucian generals who are good at military warfare, the most intuitive way to judge the combat strength of the army is the military strength and blood condensed by the army.

The stronger the blood, the stronger the army, the more terrifying the army, the same army level, the powerful 10,000 soldiers and horses, can easily defeat twice the number of enemy troops.

This kind of blood and military strength does not mean that many people can be generated together, this requires the unity of the army, it requires a strong fighting spirit, it needs incomparable courage, and it needs to be tempered by the fire of war to be condensed.

Only by strengthening the army in a hundred battles can the military strength and blood be condensed, and can it have a suppressive effect on the literati and warriors!

Liu Yan had seen many strong armies in Dashu, such as the Shuangyue Iron Cavalry in Qinzhou City.

The Shuangyue Iron Cavalry is also a strong army with a large army and the blood of the army, but Liu Yan secretly compared it and was shocked to find that it seems that the military momentum and blood exuded by this army in Changding Township are stronger than the Shuangyue Iron Cavalry?

Liu Yan didn't understand, how could the 6,000 soldiers in Changding Township condense the blood of the army, obviously they had just been combined and had not been tempered by much war?

Liu Yan couldn't help but look at Su Ke and Chen Hua, and found that their faces were pale, and their eyes were also full of horror.

A morning breeze blew, Liu Yan only felt that his back was cold, and at some point, the satin underwear and clothes on his back were already soaked with cold sweat.

A few black Puma cavalry roared past the city, and Liu Yan and the others knew at a glance that this was the scout vanguard of the Changding Township army.

The officers and soldiers of Datong County saw more clearly the differences between these scouts and the scout troops in Datong County.

The cavalry that kept speeding past from under the city wall and on the edge of the moat, the steel armor on their bodies was thick and hard, and the battle helmets, face armor, shoulder pads, arm pads, knee pads and foot pads were all complete, all of which were painted with black paint, like the death cavalry running out of hell, only a cold gaze shot out of the gaps in the face armor.

Even the horses under the seat are also covered with thick felt, protected by steel armor, with a steel bow hanging on one side, a war knife on the other, and a four-meter-long steel spear in the knight's hand, which is extremely luxurious.

Such an iron warrior would never be able to be armed without 20,000 taels of silver.

If in peacetime, the soldiers of Datong County would encounter such a cavalry, they would definitely kill him at all costs and seize all his armor and weapons, but now let alone do it, even the atmosphere does not dare to take a breath.

Liu Yan and the others hurriedly issued an order to go down, strictly prohibiting the generals from acting rashly.

In the blink of an eye, the 6,000 soldiers of Changding Township have approached the county seat of Datong.

The march of the army was as one, except for the mountain wind, the sound of the rumbling pace.

I don't know if it's an illusion, as the army of Changding Township approached the city, the soldiers and horses of Datong County even felt that even the city walls trembled slightly.

A few miles away, Liu Yan found that the soldiers of Changding Township contained amazing military strength and blood, and now that the army was outside the city, this feeling was even more intense, and it was even difficult to breathe.

The blood qi emitted by the army was like a substantial pressure on his chest, and the Wen Qi in his body became as muddy as water, and the scribes of the Sanpin Hidden Essence Realm, under the military strength of this army, were not even as good as ordinary people!

Liu Yan certainly understood what the reason was.

The most terrifying thing about the military is that it can suppress the power of the warriors and literati.

In a simple sentence, the role of military strength is that its own strength is inferior to the opponent, and it can forcibly suppress the opponent's strength to the same level as itself, and then defeat the opponent with rich experience and sharp equipment.

Once the army becomes a trend, the literary spirit of the seventh or eighth grade national scholar can be suppressed, not to mention him, a third-grade Confucian like an ant!

The only thing Liu Yan didn't understand was why the army of Changding Township could have military strength.

The reason is actually simple, Chu He is the commander of this Qianyuan Guard, and the overlord talent he has is plus four!

Moreover, Jiang Wei, the deputy general, has a hundred battles and courage, and the upper limit of the army's combat power is increased by three, which also greatly improves the morale of the army.

However, even Chu He himself now doesn't know the real horror of the military strength plus four.

The armies of the three kingdoms are divided into nine grades, and only the army that condenses the military strength can be called an army.

Chu He's Qianyuanwei, after rigorous training, went out to clear the mountain bandits, but in fact, it barely condensed a first-class army, it was just a first-class army, but the quality of the Qianyuanwei was amazing, and the potential for improvement was great.

This military situation has nothing to do with what equipment it is, and it doesn't even have much to do with the strength of the soldiers themselves, but is mainly determined by battle spirit, morale, and murderous spirit.

It does not mean that a high-grade army will be able to defeat a low-grade army, there are many factors for victory and defeat, such as the quality of the soldiers, the strength of the generals, the right time and place, the use of military formations, the role of strategy, as well as formations, traps, and so on.

But military strength is definitely a crucial factor, and it is also the only factor that can suppress military generals and literati!

Under the influence of the martial courage of the overlord of the Chu River, the Qianyuanwei of Changding Township, the terrifying five-grade level of military strength has been enough to suppress half of the strength of the scribes, that is, the military generals, all of whom will be greatly weakened under the suppression of the military situation!

A low-grade Confucian student like Liu Yan, under the suppression of the five-grade military force, is only equivalent to a soul-attracting realm student, which makes a Confucian student who is accustomed to the strength of the third-grade feel inferior to even ordinary people!

The army was approaching, Liu Yan not only had his back soaked, but his whole body was as if he had been fished out of the water, he twisted his neck with difficulty, and when he saw Su Ke and Chen Hua's appearance, he suddenly sighed in his heart.

I saw that the county secretary and the master of Datong County were even more unbearable, his face was pale, cold sweat was dripping, and his body was trembling slightly, if it weren't for the guards next to him, I am afraid that his feet would have been limp on top of the city!

The soldiers and generals in the city, the situation is not much better, their faces are blue, their hands and feet are trembling, their swords and guns are unstable, and they don't even dare to look directly at this army that is stepping under the city.

The suppression of a five-grade army, these ordinary generals are also difficult to bear, the two armies have not fought, their own strength has been suppressed by two or three percent, and the armor is far less sharp than the other party, how can this battle be fought?

Chu He led the army to pull in from under the city, his eyes were actually always paying attention to the situation on the city wall, and it was strange to see that the soldiers of Datong County were so unbearable.

Could it be that his army is so powerful, making these Datong soldiers and horses so afraid, not only their faces are blue, but their bodies are trembling, how can such an army be used to defend the city?

Six thousand soldiers, in fact, is not a lot, because the queue is neat, that is, it extends five or six hundred meters in length, and the march speed is extremely fast, and it does not take long for it to pass through this section of the city quickly.

"Not to attack us!"

At this time, Liu Yan felt that the condensed air was circulating again, and his breathing was much smoother, his eyes looked at the distant Changding Township army in disbelief, and he exhaled a long breath, and it took a long time before he spit out such a sentence with relief.

Liu Yan was sure that Chu He did not want to attack Datong County, because Chu He, who had such military strength, did not need to use any strategy at all, directly put out a military formation, and launched an offensive against Datong County, which could easily destroy the will of the Datong generals and easily capture Datong County.

The dozen or so carts in the army, although covered with sackcloth, did not need to think about it to know that they were loaded with siege equipment.

Since Chu He did not set up a position, the target was naturally not Datong County.

It wasn't until the figure of the Changding Township army completely disappeared that Su Ke and Chen Hua regained their composure, and looked at each other with Liu Yan, and then Su Ke remembered something, and he didn't care about any manners and humility, and said urgently: "Lord Liu...... Let's go back to the county government quickly, don't let those officials harm the Zhao family!"

Liu Yan was also a little out of shape at this time, and the shock to the literati when he really saw such a strong army was extremely amazing, especially the sense of powerlessness in the face of the army, which could even shake Liu Yan's literary heart!

Hearing Su Ke's reminder, he also hurriedly said: "Yes!

His confidants and staff hurriedly went back to the county government without mentioning it.

Even if Chu He didn't come to attack Datong County, but deliberately passed through Datong County, it is needless to say what it means, if something happened to Zhao Yiyi and others, I really don't know what Chu He would do.

Liu Yan is not afraid of death, on the contrary, it is precisely because he is afraid of death that he does not dare to leave Datong County and escape, and it is precisely because he is afraid of death that he has no lower limit of intention to threaten Chu He with Zhao Yiyi and others.

Now that I really saw the strength of Chu He, the 6,000 luxurious army was simply outrageous, and it easily destroyed the dignity of Liu Yan's county order at once.

He could even imagine that the soldiers of Datong County would land those weak bows and arrows, as well as those rusty iron knives and wooden sticks, on the stainless steel armor, afraid that even the opponent's skin would not be broken.

Just those three hundred steel warriors with full body armor could easily slaughter the seven thousand soldiers of Datong County!

Chen Hua, who calmed down, then thought of a question: "The soldiers and horses of Datong County are not attacking our Datong County, who are they attacking?"

Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, remembered the direction in which Qianyuanwei left, and said with some uncertainty: "Could it be ...... Is it Fenglai County?"

Su Ke took a breath of cold air: "Fenglai County is now the territory of the remnants of the Yellow Turban. This Chu River is crazy, the Yellow Turban Army will not come to attack us, but he will attack Fenglai County?"

Chen Hua's cheeks twitched, and then he sighed: "He has such a strong army, he really doesn't have to be afraid of the remnants of the Yellow Turban!"

"No wonder the Yellow Turban Army has not sent troops to attack our Datong County, I am afraid it is because I already knew the power of this Chu River. ”

His eyes fell on the faces of Liu Yan and Su Ke, and he sighed and said, "Xiaguan just came to Datong County not long ago, and he didn't expect that there was such a terrifying strong army hidden in Datong County. ”

"Lord Liu, Lord Su, don't blame the officials for being rude, if you want to keep Datong County from the rebels, I'm afraid you have to rely on this Chu River!"

Liu Yan and Su Ke were speechless, they were both old men in Datong County, and they had been officials in Datong County for many years, but they didn't know how this Qianyuanwei appeared, as if as soon as they woke up, Qianyuanwei appeared under their noses.

Knowing the horror of Changding Township, the calculation of Changding Township has to be changed.

I hope that Deng Qing's side has not gone to Changding Township to collect grain taxes before he gets dizzy.

The army of 6,000 Changding Township soon left the border of Datong County and entered the territory of Fenglai County.

In the mountainous and hilly area, there are not many roads for the army to march, although it is impossible for the Yellow Turban Army to block the entire territory of Fenglai County, but near such a spacious and flat avenue, there are soldiers and horses guarding against it.

It's just that although the Yellow Turban Army sent soldiers here, no one would believe that Datong County dared to send soldiers and horses into the territory of Fenglai County, and the 100-person bandit army was very loose.

Not to mention sending people to monitor the direction of Datong County in the highlands, it was that centurion, who was sleeping soundly at this time.

More than a dozen soldiers on duty gathered around to raise a bonfire to expel the chill of the early morning, and on the bonfire there were two hares that had been brought from the mountains before, dripping grease outside, and no one paid attention to the movement in the direction of Datong County.

The elite of the Yellow Turban Army was sent to Qinzhou City a long time ago, and those who stayed here were all recruits, and they were farmers working in the fields half a year ago, so how could they have any military quality at all.

If it weren't for the sake of food, these yellow jin recruits would have fled a long time ago, anyway, they were all from the villagers, and no one looked at them.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the Yellow Turban Army around the bonfire did not know what was happening, they used to farm with oxen and donkeys, but they had never seen many horses.

It wasn't until the sound of horses' hooves became more and more obvious that one of the soldiers who had been in the Yellow Turban Army for a relatively long time looked in the direction of the horse's hooves, frowned, and said, "What is this sound? Why does it sound like the sound of horses' hooves?"

The other soldiers also turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound of horses' hooves, and saw that in the early morning mist, several extremely tall black cavalry were rushing out of the mist.
