The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 854
The northern beaches of Cheongju and Dongnae County.

At this time, on the grass outside the beach, there was a piece of broken swords and halberds, and the corpses of a large number of generals were piled up on top of each other. It looked like a scene in purgatory, and the sight was full of scarlet. .

The original smell in the sea breeze is also mixed with the extremely unpleasant smell of blood, which makes people want to vomit involuntarily.

The flag was broken, and the blood seeped into the sand on the beach, condensing the gravel into one piece after another.

Everything indicates that a war broke out here not long ago.

On the beach, a ochre-yellow flag fluttered in the wind.

Lu Bu was wearing a red robe and heavy armor, holding a painting halberd, leading his steed to walk slowly on the battlefield full of corpses.

Just before the neck of his war horse, there was a hideous-looking head.

Cheng Lian and Wei Yue followed closely behind, and a group of cavalry in black armor patrolled the surrounding battlefield.

The surprise that Xu An prepared for Bao Xin was precisely Lu Bu and his Xiaoqi Battalion.

Most of the more than [-] people who landed this time were Liaozhou soldiers, but there were also many soldiers.

Of course, the most important thing is naturally the two hundred soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion who are fully armed, as well as Lv Bu, Cheng Lian, and Wei Yue.

The reason for this arrangement is to give Bao Xin a huge surprise.

And Bao Xin did receive the surprise that Xu An prepared for him.

When the navy of the Han army went to pursue the fleet led by Xu An.

Because of the early warning from the beacon tower, Bao Xin also summoned soldiers from around Huang County, about [-] people, and rushed directly to the beach where the Ming army landed.

With twice the strength, Bao Xin ordered the attack full of confidence, but even so he remained quite cautious. After all, the Ming army was notoriously powerful, and he didn't want to capsize in the gutter.

The fight at the beginning was normal and tepid.

Relying on temporary defenses and bed crossbows and other weapons to hold on to the camp, the Ming army repelled the attacks several times.

After Bao Xin tried out the strength of the Ming army, he ordered a general offensive.

I have to say that there is nothing wrong with Bao Xin's command, but his opponent is not a normal person.

Just after Bao Xin sent the reserve team under his command to the battlefield, Lu Bu suddenly appeared leading the Xiaoqi Battalion. The Qingzhou Army, which lacked cavalry, could not delay at all, and the infantry phalanx collapsed one after another under the impact of the Xiaoqi Battalion.

Lu Bu led the Xiaoqi Battalion all the way unstoppable, but at this time Bao Xin's position was unprecedentedly empty because he transferred most of the reserve team to the front line.

Lu Bu was just waiting for the opportunity for Bao Xin to play his cards, and suddenly launched an attack.

Lu Bu broke through the army one after another, and when Bao Xin realized that something was wrong and wanted to escape, Lu Bu had already led the Xiaoqi Battalion to the front.

Bao Xin was caught off guard and did not beheaded by Lu Bu.

Now the head hanging in front of the neck of Lu Bu's war horse is Bao Xin's head.

Bao Xin's death triggered a chain reaction, which directly led to the defeat of the Qingzhou Army.

But in the end, some Qingzhou soldiers fled the battlefield.

After Bao Xin's general found out that the situation was wrong and Bao Xin died, he led his generals to evacuate towards Huang County.

Lu Bu wanted to pursue him, but the generals under Yu Jin's command were fairly elite and equipped with quite a few bows and crossbows.

Lu Bu had only a hundred or so cavalry under his command, and he didn't dare to easily attack the infantry phalanx waiting in formation, so in the end, he let Yu Jin successfully lead his troops to evacuate from the beach.

However, the task Xu An entrusted to him has been completed, and now he has led his troops to gain a firm foothold here.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and Lu Bu was walking on the battlefield leading the horse.

The smell of blood in the air made others feel sick, but Lu Bu didn't care about it. He smelled the smell of blood but became more motivated to fight.

Just as Lu Bu was scanning the battlefield, suddenly loud cheers came from the battlefield again.

Lu Bule stopped his horse and followed the prestige.

The setting sun was setting, dyeing the sunset glow in the sky red.

Densely packed warships reappeared on the surface of the sea, and countless ochre-yellow banners fluttered and fluttered under the sea wind.

One after another transport ships are heading towards their location.

Lu Bu's pupils narrowed, and he saw a transport ship that was completely different from other transports. On that transport ship was a big ocher flag waving in the wind.

Immediately afterwards, cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami sounded from the beach.

Xu An's big banner was extremely eye-catching, how could everyone not notice it.

The transport ships stopped on the beach one after another.

Then one after another, neatly lined up in military uniforms and yellow scarves, soldiers of the Ming army stepped off the transport ship.

The soldiers of the Ming army who landed this time were the soldiers of the military camp who followed Xu An to board the warship at Anhailing Port.

After a period of rest and adaptation, their condition is much better now, and they have recovered a lot from seasickness.

The appearance of the military pawn battalion silenced all the Liaozhou soldiers who were cheering.

In just an instant, they understood the gap between each other.

These pawns didn't hold weapons or wear armor, but they still put a lot of pressure on them.

Just as the military pawn camp started to land, Lu Bu also arrived at the beach in time, and he quickly started to organize the team to stabilize the order.

Although the Liaozhou soldiers stayed in Liaozhou for a long time and could not be regarded as the orthodox Ming army, they still received training from military instructors sent by the Ming court.

Lu Bu's order was quickly carried out by him, and in just a moment, the slightly chaotic Liaozhou soldiers on the beach had already restored order.

Xu An also had a panoramic view of all this.

Xu An handed the binoculars to Xu Hong who was beside him.

"What Liaozhou soldiers lack is the core after all."

Although the Liaozhou soldiers in front of them looked powerful, they were actually superficial.

Although he has rich combat experience and good combat power, at least it is more than enough to fight Yanzhou soldiers and Qingzhou soldiers.

But there is still a big distance from the regular army of the Ming army.

Excessive casualties will quickly lose morale.

At this time, Xu An remembered the Liaozhou soldiers who collapsed because of Sun Ce's charge.

But now the Ming army is slowly changing due to the improvement of literacy rate and the deepening of Taipingdao thought, and its morale can maintain a fairly high level for a long time.

Fighting to the death without retreating is no longer the monopoly of Teng Xiangwei and Huang Angel.

Some soldiers of the Ming army even reached this level, and the morale of ordinary soldiers was extremely high.

The Qingzhou soldiers under Qu Yi's command were also in the same situation. Although they looked powerful, they were actually ordinary feudal troops at their core.

They didn't know why they were fighting, they just lived in a daze, obeying the orders of their superiors.

Even if such an army adopts new training methods, the upper limit is still very low.

It's like the new army compiled and trained in the late Qing Dynasty, with excellent weapons and equipment. On paper, it looks like an elite army, but when it goes to the battlefield, its true colors will be revealed in an instant.

This situation will definitely be rectified in the future.

The ship docked slowly, and the generals headed by Lu Bu had been waiting on the beach for a long time.

"Welcome Daoist Lord!"

All the generals on the beach raised their heads and clenched their fists in salute.

Xu An returned the salute with the same courtesy, and walked off the transport ship slowly.

"The enemy general Bao Xin has been beheaded by me, and all of them have been defeated, but there are still some remnants fleeing to the direction of Huang County. I also ask the Taoist Lord to make amends."

Lu Bu lowered his head slightly, and reported to Xu An in a low voice.

He raised his eyes slightly to look at Xu An's side, and he found two strange faces beside Xu An, and those two seemed not simple.

"Beheading Bao Xin in the first formation, this is a great achievement, what crime is there?"

Xu An stepped forward a little, stepped on the horse that Lu Bu had prepared, took the whip from a guard, and scanned the beach.

"Today, set up a military camp on the grassland in the north. Since it has been exposed, we will go to the Ming camp directly. Tomorrow, we will make food at the fourth watch, raise troops at the fifth watch, and take Huang County in the west."
