"Hehe......"

Ma Chao chuckled lightly and said to Huang Xu beside him, "This Yuan Shao, think we are muddy?" ”

"He wants to break our formation defense, it's a bit too much."

"Our newly formed Gluttonous Legion and Qiqi Legion, each with 1.5 million soldiers, are all carefully selected elites after annexing the two armies of Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, together with the previous Ma Jiajun."

"Although it is slightly inferior to the other major battle legions now, it will not be much worse."

"My father and I are confident that we will lead the Gluttonous Legion and the Poor Strange Legion respectively, and strive to catch up as soon as possible."

Ma Chao and Ma Teng, father and son, after taking refuge in Wang Qiang's side, immediately incorporated the two million army under Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, and then reorganized after disrupting with the original Ma Jiajun.

After eliminating millions of soldiers, it was reduced to two main battle legions.

However, the two newly formed legions each have 1.5 million soldiers.

This is because the various legions in Wang Qiang's forces have once again ushered in a round of expansion, including the newly formed Navy Town Naval Regiment, which has expanded to 1.5 million people.

For Ma Jiajun, who has just surrendered, it is just right.

Otherwise, even if it is streamlined and formed into the Gluttonous Legion and the Poor Qi Legion, it will not be able to accommodate all the original elite soldiers.

It is undeniable that after annexing the army of Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, even after several rounds of screening, the total number of remaining elite soldiers has reached three million.

Today's Wang Qiang forces, after a new round of army expansion, plus the two legions reorganized from the original Ma Jiajun, already have ten main battle corps.

Except for Wang Qiang's personal guards, which only expanded from 200,000 to 500,000, the remaining nine legions were all 1.5 million.

The total number of the main battle legions combined amounted to a terrifying 14 million.

Wang Qiang ordered to expand the army again, mainly because his territory and population had skyrocketed after he took the three northern states of Dahan, and the beast tide was about to attack, so there were too many places that needed to be defended.

If you don't do that, you really can't take care of it, and you can't do a perfect defense.

"Well, after streamlining and reorganizing, the Gluttonous Legion and the Poor Qi Legion have been fully dressed and trained, which is still very good."

Huang Xu nodded, and said very approvingly, "At least, compared to any of Yuan Shao's main battle legions, it won't be worse." ”

He and Ma Chao didn't know each other, and the two quickly became good brothers, and this time he came to personally check the combat effectiveness of Yuan Shao's side.

Huang Xu has been in the north of Gunzhou for half a month, and even personally participated in several battles with Yuan Shao's side, and has a full understanding of the strength of Yuan Shao's elite legions, and has a lot to say.

Against the gluttonous army led by Ma Chao was an army of five million led by Gao Lan, a general under Yuan Shao.

If the two sides face each other head-on, the gluttonous army will be much worse in strength because the number is far inferior to that of the other party.

But now that it is a defensive operation, with the assistance of several sets of four-star best magic weapon array flags given by Wang Qiang, there is no problem.

In the past half a month, Yuan Shao's side has launched a round of strong attacks almost every day, but the results have been in vain, but the losses have been serious.

Now the gluttonous army led by Ma Chao is insufficient in attack and more than enough in defense.

Under the order of the military department, it was not yet time for a big battle with Yuan Shao.

In order to hide clumsiness, so as not to trigger a series of consequences, at present, the defense is the mainstay.

Everything will have to wait until the once-in-a-century beast tide has passed, and the plan for the army to go south will be started.

"This Yuan Shao, why did you withdraw your troops so quickly today?"

Ma Chao felt a little strange.

This is not like Yuan Shao's style.

In the past half a month, Yuan Shao's army has been attacking very fiercely, and it is endless, and the momentum is very huge.

It's a little strange today, they only attacked for half a day, and then Mingjin withdrew his troops.

"Huang Xu, will this Yuan Shao have any bad ideas?"

Ma Chao asked Huang Xu in confusion, "He won't be withdrawing his troops, right?" ”

He stood on the huge city wall about 100 zhang high, looking at the enemy troops who had retreated into the camp, and he really couldn't understand Yuan Shao's operation.

"Brother Meng Qi, don't say it, it's not impossible for Yuan Shao to withdraw from the army."

Huang Xu is now a person who has experienced a hundred battles, and with a wide range of books, he has long been incomparable, and he can be regarded as a Tianjiao who is both civil and military.

The current Huang Xu is not bad in terms of strategy, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "Our defense work is so good now, even if Yuan Shao's head is iron, he will retreat after a long time of fruitless attack." ”

"Their current situation is not too good. Not only do they want to open up the passage to the south and solve the dilemma, but they also have to vigorously prepare to deal with the attack of the beast tide in the near future. ”

"It's been less than a year since the beast tide hit. If he is not fully prepared, he will be able to bear it when the time comes. ”

"I estimate that nine times out of ten, he wants to withdraw from the army, and concentrating his military strength to destroy Gongsun Chan is the top priority."

Huang Xu is not speculating, but has real evidence.

According to the intelligence officers who are lurking in Jizhou and Qingzhou, the news that has come back in the past few days says: Although Gongsun Zhan's army has very good combat effectiveness, it has natural shortcomings.

This shortcoming is in Gongsun Zhan's hands, and there is no four-star top-grade magic weapon array flag, and even four-star high-grade magic weapon array flag is very rare.

In this way, without enough formation assistance, it is impossible to stop the strong army of Yuan Shao.

Under the vigorous attack of the Eastern Route Army led by Zhang He, Gongsun Zhan is now losing the city and losing his land, and he is in a hurry.

If the Western Route army led by Yuan Shao joined the battle against Taishan County, Gongsun Zhan would most likely be defeated and cleaned up by Yuan Shao.

"Yuan Shao wants to withdraw his troops?"

Ma Chao's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Huang Xu, why don't we go out of the city, drag them down, make trouble for them, and don't let Yuan Shao withdraw smoothly?" ”

was attacked by Yuan Shao's army for half a month, Ma Chao was already angry in his heart, saying that he didn't want to fight back, it was impossible.

"Forget it."

Huang Xu shook his head when he heard this, "The lord just asked us to hold the territory of these three counties in the northern part of Gunzhou, and strictly ordered us not to attack without authorization, so as not to mess up the plan we have set." ”

"Anyway, that Gongsun Chan is not a good bird, he is an enemy like us, and it is up to him to fight to the death with Yuan Shao, so that both sides will be defeated."

"Gongsun Zhan's side, although it is not as large as Yuan Shao's soldiers, it is not a soft persimmon, and it is not so easy to be defeated."

"Yuan Shao wants to eat Gongsun Zan and win Taishan County and Lu County, it is not so easy, he has to pay a big price."

He said confidently, "I don't dare to say anything else, but even if Yuan Shao comes out with a large army, it is basically impossible to defeat Gongsun Zan within a year or two." ”

"Uncle Ma Teng, he is leading the Qiqi Legion, together with the Guards Legion led by Dian Wei and Zhang Fei, to prepare to destroy the two white-eyed wolves, Zhang Yang and Wang Dao, and capture the Dongjun and Shanyang Counties they occupy."

"As long as we seize Dongjun, we can open up the passage between us and the state, and connect the northern counties of the state with the Shangdang county of the state."

"When the time comes, we can take the initiative, whether it is to attack Liu Zhang in Yizhou, Dong Zhuo in Sili, Cao Cao in Gunzhou, or Yuan Shao in Jizhou, it is very convenient, and there is no need to make a detour."

He knows the plan of the military department, and although it is not appropriate for his family to make a big move now, since Wang Dao and Zhang Yang have already made a move, they will not be passively beaten and not fight back.

At least within a year and a half, it will not be a problem to destroy the two chess pieces of the Yuan family, Wang Dao and Zhang Yang.

To deal with these two guys, you don't need to send much formation, with the Poor Qi Legion and the Guards Legion, it is enough to take them down.

Especially the royal road, which is ordered by the lord to kill.

Now the entire state is occupied by their own family, and the four major families in the state have of course all been wiped out.

Wang Dao and his million-strong army are the last fish to slip through the net of the Wang family in Bingzhou, and they are the first objects that must be eliminated.

Moreover, Wang Dao's subordinates also have a person that Wang Qiang will kill: Wei Xu.

This guy, after being taken back by Lu Bu and driven out of Yanmen Pass, defected to the original Bingzhou Assassin Mansion.

It turned out that he defected to Ding Yuan, and by betraying some secret information about Lu Bu and his good cultivation, he was able to become a military commander.

Later, Ding Yuan and the Ding family were sacrificed by the Yuan family as a substitute for the dead ghost, and after Wang Dao took over the history of the Bingzhou Assassin, Wei Xu, this guy, turned into a subordinate of Wang Dao.

This guy, so well hidden, was only recently discovered by the MIA.

Lu Bu was furious on the spot, for this brother in the house of his own wife, it was not just as simple as being completely disappointed, he couldn't wait to immediately lead his troops south and clean up the portal with his own hands.

Six years ago, Wang Qiang said that Lu Bu's treatment of Wei Xu would cause some troubles, and he was still skeptical.

The current facts have beaten his old face to the point of "popping", how can Lu Bu stand it?

However, the Blue Dragon Legion led by Lu Bu is currently fighting against Donghu and the remnants of the Gongsun family in the northeast, and it has come to an end, and it is temporarily inseparable.

Therefore, Wang Qiang, who was also furious, ordered the personal guard army to go south to help the poor Qi army led by Ma Teng.

He specially explained to Dian Wei and Zhang Fei, this time he must kill Wei Xu, who eats inside and outside and does not change his life.

Now, with the addition of the Guards Legion, which can be called the strongest legion in the Han Kyushu, Ma Teng has the absolute upper hand when fighting against the alliance of Wang Dao and Zhang Yang.

It won't be long before Sanyang County and Dong County can be fully captured.

As for that Wei Xu, he has been firmly targeted by the two elite squads of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, and it is basically impossible to escape.

"That's just as well."

As soon as Huang Xu's words fell, Ma Chao nodded and said, "In this case, if Yuan Shao's army retreats, we will not have nothing to do." ”

"There is a four-star superb array here, as long as there is a general at the peak of the God Refining Realm guarding it, safety is not a problem."

"Huang Xu, I plan to leave my younger brother Ma Tie in charge of guarding, he is also a peak master of the God Refining Realm, so don't worry about the defense here."

"As for the two of us, we simply took the gluttonous army westward and joined the war of encirclement and suppression of Zhang Yang and the royal road."

"Presumably, with the addition of the gluttonous army, in less than half a year, Wang Dao and Zhang Yang, the two lackeys of the Yuan family, can be wiped out."

He is not stupid, where will it be unclear that the benefits of stabbing his own royal road and publicity against the water back?

After destroying these two princes, the passage between the state and the state was opened, and the gluttonous army and the poor qi army would no longer have to worry about anything in the future.

At that time, even if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao jointly attacked, with their own base camp as the backing, they were not afraid of them.

"This plan works!"

"If Yuan Shao really retreats, we will immediately move westward as a whole, the sooner the better!"

Huang Xu immediately agreed.

Next, if Yuan Shao really retreats, and they are not allowed to take the initiative to fight here, the gluttonous army will have nothing to do.

This would result in a huge waste of troops.

For the sake of the overall situation, his family can't go to war with Yuan Shao head-on for the time being, so he just goes to clean up the two guys Wang Dao and Zhang Yang.

These two guys, without the luck of the hidden dragon, are embarrassed to be called princes?

What's even more annoying is that they have already taken refuge in Yuan Shao, and now they are backstabbing against the water, and the trouble they have brought to their own family is not a little bit.

However, we have to make sure whether Yuan Shao really withdrew his troops.

If he is bent on fighting to the end, Ma Chao will have no choice but to lead the soldiers of the Gluttonous Legion to stalemate with him here.

Obviously, as Huang Xu said, Yuan Shao's current situation is not good, and he doesn't have much time to waste.

About three hours later, the observation sentry came to report that Yuan Shao's army outside Linyi City began to pull out the camp.

"Huang Xu, then Yuan Shao really withdrew his troops!"

When Ma Chao heard the news, he smiled at Huang Xu, who was drinking and talking with him, "That's good, I have long wanted to clean up the two treacherous white-eyed wolves, Wang Dao and Zhang Yang, lest they make trouble behind their backs in the future." ”

Indeed, this time, the front and back attacks faced by his own family really made Ma Chao angry.

A year ago, when the Quadripartite Alliance was formed, everyone still vowed to be in the same boat, and when one side was in trouble, many parties would support it.

never thought that now that Yuan Shaocai had raised troops to attack Dongping County, the two guys Wang Dao and Zhang Yang would immediately turn back.

If from time to time, the external functions of the teleportation array in the jurisdiction were immediately adjusted after the brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao were incorporated, and the corresponding precautions were also done, maybe they would succeed.

Fortunately, the combat effectiveness of the two sides of the royal road and Zhang Yang is really not very good, and they are definitely the bottom characters among the princes of all walks of life, and they can't pose much of a threat to their own family.

In addition, after taking refuge in the lord, he was given a four-star magic weapon array flag that was enough for the gluttonous army and the poor qi army to use, and had an absolute advantage in attack and defense.

Therefore, in the counterattack, the Qiqi Army led by Ma Teng alone defeated the allied forces of Wang Dao and Zhang Yang.

Soon after, the arrival of the Guards Legion led by Dian Wei and Zhang Fei was even more devastating, and in just a month or so, they captured nearly half of the territory of Shanyang County and Dong County, where Wang Dao and Zhang Yang were entrenched.

There is no need to think about it, after the gluttonous army led by Ma Chao joined the encirclement and suppression of the two white-eyed wolves, Wang Dao and Zhang Yang, they were destroyed, and it became inevitable, and it didn't take long.

Ma Chao, who had already made a decision, immediately contacted Dian Wei of the Guards Legion after arranging the garrison work in various places, and Huang Xubu laid down a corresponding four-star superb teleportation array, leading the soldiers to start teleportation.

He can't wait to eliminate the two villains, Wang Dao and Zhang Yang.
