The World of Yellow Sky

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 only had more than 100 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.

Lv Bu Tongkong shrunk, he saw a transport ship that was completely different from other transports, and on that transport ship a large ochre-yellow banner was 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 soldiers did not hold weapons or wear armored stomachs, but they still brought a lot of pressure to 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.

However, the current Ming army is slowly changing due to the improvement of literacy rate and the deepening of Taiping Dao 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."

8 Chapter Fifty: The World Is Happy! ! !

In the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty (197), on September [-]th, it was autumn.

Outside the city of Pingyuan, there was a chill.

At this time, Qingzhou Plain City has completely turned into a military town after three full months.

A large amount of grain was piled up in Pingyuan City, all ministries had completed their training, the generals were quite familiar with each other, and the strategy for the southern expedition was formally finalized.

The news of the Bohai War has come, the entire Han army navy has been wiped out, and the news that the Liaozhou army has successfully landed in the east has become known to everyone.

Huang County in Donglai County has been liberated, and more than [-] soldiers from Liaozhou and Haidong, as well as more than [-] heavily armed Ming soldiers, entered Donglai County one after another.

Bao Xin's death caused the entire defense line of Donglai County to collapse directly.

The entire Hanting navy was wiped out, Bao Xin was also beheaded by Lu Bu, and the land and water lines collapsed.

Yu Jin retreated to Huang County with thousands of remnants of the defeated generals, and then faced the onslaught of the Ming army. Huang County was unable to hold on, so he had to flee to Xiami City in Beihai County with only more than 3000 remnants. and go.

Lu Bu led the troops under his command to march eastward, and the Liaozhou fleet followed the coastline of Qingzhou to cooperate with Lu Bu's eastward march.

The main force of the Han army's navy was exhausted, and the Liaozhou fleet alone could run wild in the sea without any opponents at all.

There is no need to keep the Haidong Fleet and waste military resources.

The role left by the Haidong Fleet is not great. The Haidong Fleet is fully equipped with soft-sail warships and reduced its establishment, and is developing in the direction of ocean-going warships.

Therefore, the carrying capacity of the Haidong Fleet's ships is not large. Because of the cumbersome operations, there are a large number of sailors who need to operate the sails and ships, and the number of people that can be carried is correspondingly reduced, so Xu An ordered the Haidong Fleet to return to Haidong. .

Of course, apart from the whole reason, what is more important is the matter of Yamatai.

The reason why thirty warships were sent back to Yamatai with Nansheng rice was naturally not to go on a trip at public expense, but to show off their military power. The important task of Silver and Copper Mountain.

The approximate location of these three gold, silver and copper mountains is relatively clear to Xu An. In the game of the later generations, this is an important strategic resource location, and it is marked, but after all, Xu An has never been there in person.

With the end of the war, the consumption will increase dramatically.

The army is deployed, and gold and silver pave the way.

I don't know how long this battle will last.

If the three gold, silver and copper mountains on Dongyi Island can be excavated in time, and the gold and silver can be transported to the country, it will bring great help.

It won't be long before Donglai County will be liberated.

The military port built by the Hanting navy is now in the hands of the Ming army.

Without the navy at sea, Lu Bu led the army to cooperate with the Liaozhou fleet, and easily occupied the entire military port.

This is the military port and was renamed Weihai Navy Port by Xu An.

With this good port, we also have calm and safe sea transportation.

Materials from the three provinces of Liaozhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou can be continuously transported to Donglai County in Qingzhou. The transportation road has been opened, and the cost is not high.

The pressure has now come to Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao was completely cornered.

It can be said that Han Ting's hopes were all placed on his shoulders alone.

The entire territory of Donglai County has been almost occupied by the Ming army, and the main force of the Ming army is gathering around Pingyuan City, eyeing it like a tiger, and preparing to march south.

Now the Ming army has been surrounded on both sides, and they can attack Qingzhou from the east and west at the same time, but their current position will be surrounded by enemies, and they are in danger of being encircled.

Now that autumn is here, the water of the Yellow River is gradually decreasing.

Although the Yellow River is a river, known as a big river, in the imagination of those who have never seen it, it must be a natural moat, a natural danger.

But actually it's not...

When the Yellow River is not worthy of being called a natural moat at all, people have always said that the Yangtze River is a natural barrier since ancient times, but no one has said that the Yellow River is a natural barrier.

The danger of the Yangtze River, first of all, is the danger of the Three Gorges, because there are mountains and mountains on both sides of the river bank, and the only way to go upstream from the downstream to Sichuan is by water.

However, the waterways are tortuous and there are many beaches and rushing water. It is not an exaggeration to say that "yellow cranes cannot fly, and apes want to escape their worries and climb for help", so it is dangerous.

On the Yellow River, there is only the danger of the mainstay of the Longmen, but the danger of the mainstay of the Longmen is more of an impact on ordinary ships.

To capture both sides of the Yellow River, there is no need to avoid this waterway. There are many plains on the north and south sides of the Yellow River that can be walked, and there is no danger of the Yangtze River terrain.

Moreover, the flooding of the Yellow River is unstable, it freezes in winter, and the water is shallow in autumn, so it is impossible to build water fortresses and sail boats for defense.

During the dry season, the cavalry could even cross the Yellow River directly, and the river could not even submerge the belly of a horse, and there were even cases where the river stopped flowing.

After many rivers freeze in winter, the river surface is hard, and the army can even pass through directly.

The second is due to sediment deposition, as an aboveground river.

Sometimes the Yellow River not only cannot become a barrier for the defenders, but can even be a boost for the attackers.
