Chapter 870 Killing Qu Yi

"Very good, the army under the general's command is different from the Bingzhou army under my command in the past. They are hard-trained, brave in battle, and close to the people. They are the strongest army in the world."

Although Wang Yan did not look back at all, Lu Bu, who was standing a little behind, clasped his hands and said nice things.

Of course, what he said was the truth. The army here was indeed like that. After all, he was the dignified Wenhou, and he followed a group of soldiers, bare-chested, pulling plows for the people to plow the land. He worked for more than a month and only rested for two days. In the past, he dared not even think about it, but now he did it. When he complained secretly, every time he thought of the smiling faces of the people, he was actually a little happy, and he himself couldn't believe it.

"Do you understand the military regulations and systems clearly?"

"Clear."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile and ordered: "Han Sheng, arrange for Fengxian to be promoted to a hundred generals."

Wang Yan has always been very clear about Lu Bu's performance. He has been promoted to a team leader before, and he did a good job. The soldiers under Lu Bu's command have good reviews. How awesome Lu Bu was before, the soldiers below didn't know that much. No matter how awesome he is, can he be more awesome than General Wang? There is no such thing as saying something against one's will. If the officials do not do their job well, they dare to scold them. After all, soldiers are supposed to fight. If the leaders above are not good, they will die.

Wang Yan did not think of letting Lu Bu stay under him all the time, which was a waste of talent. After all, Lu Bu is not young anymore. He will be forty in a little over a year. He should be used while he can fight...

Huang Zhong bowed his hands and accepted the order. He was quite satisfied with Lu Bu. The two had sparred before and it was a draw.

He asked, "General, do you want to attack Yuan Shao?"

"No, now our two sides are at peace, and Yuan Shao has no war, which is really inappropriate. So you must press the border with a large army, force him to rush, and expand southward." Wang Yan smiled and said, "Reorganize the army tonight, and tomorrow morning, eat up these 10,000 enemy troops and march into Gaoyang County."

"Yes, General, I must go to Gaoyang."

"Go and arrange it."

Wang Yan waved his hand, and Huang Zhong and Lu Bu saluted and rode back to the barracks.

Yuan Shao had 30,000 troops on the border, and Wang Yan had 20,000 troops on this side, so there was still room for this battle. However, this time only Huang Zhong led the Xuanwu Guard to advance, and Zhou Cang and Taishi Ci were on the flanks. In addition, another 3,000 soldiers were added as Huang Zhong's reinforcements.

He did not want to start a war and destroy Yuan Shao directly. He just wanted to increase the intensity of Yuan Shao and put some pressure on Yuan Shao, so that he would not be heartless all day. Once Yuan Shao takes action, Cao Cao will not be able to rest. If Cao Cao cannot rest, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, and Liu Biao will not be able to rest.

The world is like a chessboard, starting from the Northeast Plain to the Yangtze River Basin. If one link changes, all places will not be spared.

Only Chang'an and Luoyang are different. They play their own games. That is another circle, which is different from the situation here. Geographically speaking, the third ladder is a circle, and the second ladder is a circle. And the top of these two circles is Wang Da, the traitor.

If Yuan Shao can't think of it, and all the troops want to fight Wang Yan to death, it's no big deal, just kill him. The reason why Wang Yan went to the front line in person was to respond in time according to the battlefield situation, so as to save two days of communication back and forth, which was not conducive to quick response.

This is also why Lao Cao fought in the north and south, and always led the army to fight outside, that is, the timeliness of information and making decisions on the spot. If he was not at the front, many things could not be decided directly by the commanders and counselors outside, which could easily delay the battle opportunity, and this was fatal...

After receiving Wang Yan's order, the loyal Huang Zhong, who swore to die for his country, issued an order after returning to the barracks, and the signal soldiers scattered to deliver military orders to the places where the various units under Xuanwuwei were stationed.

In fact, there was nothing to prepare. They were all mixed troops, stationed in a city with more than 500 people, 100 cavalry, 100 archers, and more than 300 sword, shield and spear soldiers. After the archers had run out of feather arrows, they were also sword, shield and spear soldiers.

Their preparations were nothing more than taking care of the horses, letting them have a good meal, and then killing all the pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. they raised themselves, and eating a good meal for the people. The rest was to wipe the weapons, boil water and pour it into the kettle, prepare the things to bring for the march, and prepare a meal of dry food to fill up when hungry.

The main reason is that this time it is not a long-distance march to fight. It is less than 20 miles away, and the logistics of the army can be fully supplemented. The main thing is to have a good meal before the battle.

This is why Wang Yan is very resistant to fighting a big battle. He really can't afford it.

The next day, before dawn, the various departments of Xuanwuwei lit the fire early and made breakfast. The heads of various teams scolded and called their soldiers to get up, fetch water to wash their faces, and after breakfast, they made the final preparations, pooped, urinated, drank water, and helped each other put on armor.

Then, under the leadership of the military marquises of each department, they trotted forward.

The battle plan was arranged yesterday. There was no large-scale assembly, and each department marched independently.

Lu Bu rode on the Red Hare, carrying his Fang Tian Huaji, and trotted the horse. He was promoted to a hundred generals, naturally a hundred generals of cavalry, otherwise his "flying down" would be wasted.

The task of this part of them is very simple and direct, that is, to fight fiercely from the front.

Sitting on horseback, Lu Bu said: "When attacking, I will be the vanguard. Don't lose your composure."

"Don't worry, General Bai. We brothers have served in the Cavalry Battalion for three years. We have been in many battles and know the importance of the battles." The man next to Lu Bu responded with a grin.

The basic combat qualities of the Cavalry Battalion are accurate crossbow shooting, good spear control, and the ability to withstand hundreds of miles of rolling and bumping, as well as the harsh winter climate. For them, this is just a small scene now.

Lu Bu nodded silently. He also knew this, but he still wanted to give a warning.

The whereabouts of the crowd could not be concealed. The other side was not a waste. They also had reconnaissance guards. As the sky became clear, the Xuanwu Guards saw rows of black shadows approaching. The night watchman blew the whistle without saying a word, followed by the sound of a rapid golden gong. The barracks began to be noisy, and the officers shouted loudly to assemble the army.

When they were halfway assembled, the Xuanwu Guards also successfully killed them.

The Red Hare was very fast. Lu Bu, who had not experienced a battle for a long time, was very excited. The wind blew on his face, making him intoxicated, awakening the fighting gene engraved in his bones that had been silent for a long time.

Since he became a soldier and was defeated by Wang Yan and lost his desire to dominate the world, Lu Bu felt that he was stronger...

Estimating that the distance was about the same, Lu Bu took out the standard crossbow arrows he was assigned. This was a crossbow arrow called a composite crossbow that he had never seen before, and it could fire three arrows in a row. The cavalry scattered behind him also held crossbows and shot three arrows at the enemy.

The speed of the horses was fast, and the distance of more than 100 meters was only enough for them to shoot one round, and they had to hurry up. But they were all veterans with rich battle formations, and they calmly put away the crossbows and clamped the horse spears. And slightly reduced the speed of the horses, and the formation that had just been dispersed and shot arrows was tightened, with Lu Bu as the front, forming a ∧-shaped front arrow formation, which maximized the contact with the enemy, while ensuring that the formation did not disperse, and that the rear personnel would fill in after the front personnel were damaged in the battle.

Because of the Red Hare, Lu Bu was even a little out of touch with the formation behind.

Looking at the enemy soldiers in front with shields and long spears, Lu Bu's face under the ghost face grinned. As soon as he pulled the reins, the Red Hare actually jumped high.

In the air, Lu Bu held the painted halberd and swept it, easily breaking the enemy's battle formation and rushing into the enemy. He swung the painted halberd and tapped, swept, and slashed, as if he was in an empty space.

Behind Lu Bu, the cavalry, who were a little slower, did not give the enemy a chance to react, and rushed in along the gap in the battle formation, and the sharp arrow formation naturally widened the gap.

After a while, it was the infantry who ran over desperately. The first row was the sword and shield soldiers, who fiercely knocked the enemies in front of them away and rushed in. Three or four steps behind, the sword soldiers followed closely, swinging their swords and slashing, closely following the shield soldiers, and buried their heads in to kill.

In just two minutes, they had already killed through the first line of defense, which could almost be said to be collapsed at the touch of a button. The Xuanwuwei soldiers did not stop at all and went straight to kill further inside.

Although Lü Bu was beaten half to death by General Wang, no one denied that he was indeed a very brave and fierce general. Among the thousands of troops, no one could match him. Even if someone was lucky enough not to be killed by Lü Bu, there were still cavalrymen behind him stabbing with spears.

Looking at the entire battlefield situation, there were more than ten gaps around the enemy's camp, and only two gaps were the deepest. One of these two gaps was Lü Bu, and the other was the troops of the school lieutenant led by Huang Zhong.

And the two attackers had the same target, that is, the big flag in the formation, which was where the commander was.

But in the end, Lü Bu broke through faster, because the resistance they faced was not at the same level. After all, Huang Zhong was the commander and also had the commander's flag, so the enemy would naturally lean on him and naturally ignore Lü Bu.

Since he ignored it, with Lü Bu's strength, it would be too late to take it seriously.

Lv Bu saw from afar a general wearing silver armor and a cloak under the banner, holding a sword in hand and shouting loudly. There were hundreds of armored cavalry guards in front and behind him, and he was the commander at first glance.

Those people also found Lv Bu, killed several fleeing soldiers who blocked the way, and actually rushed over to kill.

Lv Bu laughed loudly, swung his painted halberd fiercely, and swept two people off their horses with just one blow. Then he was stepped on the face by the horseshoe. Lv Bu weighed more than 200 pounds, and the Red Hare weighed more than 2,000 pounds. He died quickly and without suffering.

Killed two people, killed a few more, and killed a few more. The opponent finally knew how powerful he was. However, the main general on the opposite side was very strong. Seeing that Lv Bu was so fierce, he didn't run away at all, but followed the left and right to kill.

As I said, before the fight, Lv Bu was also a younger brother. No matter how big Lv Bu's name was, others would think he was bragging. What's more, the people here didn't know that the person coming was Lv Bu.

Seeing that the enemy had sent him to the door, Lu Bu was even happier. He vigorously pushed away the attacking spear, and before the enemy general could react, he had already held the man under his armpit and captured him alive. Then he cut off the big flag with a halberd, and let his cavalry continue to charge, while he stopped.

Because the battle was over, after the big flag was cut off, the enemy army was defeated. At this time, the battle depends on the flag. If the commander's flag fell, the commander would probably be gone, so naturally, those who run away will run away, and those who surrender will surrender. These days, soldiers serve to eat.

In fact, in the next 1,900 years, soldiers serve to eat.

Only Wang Yan shouted that soldiers serve to defend their country and protect the people, but even so, they eat and drink better than ordinary people, and of course they are really tired.

Lu Bu sat on the horse, holding the enemy general, and waited for the infantry behind to come, then he threw the enemy general down and chased his cavalry.

The enemy general was also miserable. The infantry knew that he was an enemy general, so they beat him up without saying anything. This was to prevent the enemy general from resisting again and hurting innocent brothers. It was just right to beat him half to death.

They were not afraid that if he was recruited, they would be punished later. The general had said long ago that they would do whatever was safe and easy on the battlefield. If there was really a recruit, and they dared to cause trouble later, the labor team would welcome you.

In fact, the army has not been idle in the past two years. The Youzhou soldiers in the past were used to causing trouble. There were always some people who were not honest and were dealt with too much. There is always a shortage of people in the labor team, and there are always people to supplement them.

This surprise attack ended like this, ending with a great victory for Xuanwuwei. In fact, it was also possible to attack at night, but Wang Yan denied it, because the casualties of the night attack were not much different from those of the current surprise attack. And the military strength was not very different, only a few thousand people.

The situation here has been well investigated. Where is the commander, where is the deputy commander, how to place them, supplies, etc., all these situations are clear, and we know ourselves and the enemy completely.

And because of the difference in strength, the enemy army is not like Xuanwuwei, where 500 people are scattered and stationed. They are 2,000 people in one part and two parts in the central army. It is because they know that Wang Yan's side is well-equipped and has strong combat effectiveness that they arranged it like this.

Huang Zhong and Lu Bu fought against the main force of the central army, which has more than 4,000 people. This side was scattered, and the other two sides could not communicate, so they would naturally be defeated, so this victory was very easy.

According to statistics after the war, only more than 200 people died and more than 500 people were injured. More than 2,000 people were killed, more than 4,000 were captured, and more than 2,000 escaped. It was an undisputed victory.

In the Baxian military camp, General Wang always wore a luxurious blue shirt so loosely. Today, he inserted a sexy red jade hairpin, which was from Hotan, an authentic Western Region product. When he came, he had a large piece of raw stone cut into pieces, and made a large seal. The remaining material was used to make a few hairpins.

At this moment, he was walking with his hands behind his back on the trampled land where no grass grew, watching three thousand soldiers desperately wearing thirty kilograms of iron armor and running a 400-meter obstacle course. This was the most basic physical fitness. The Cavalry Battalion, the Black Armor Battalion, and his personal guards all had to run an 800-meter obstacle course.

Just at this moment, a group of cavalrymen ran in. The leader jumped off his horse and ran to Wang Yan. He stood straight, pounded his chest, and saluted: "Report to the general, Xuanwuwei has defeated the enemy army, 800 casualties, 4,500 prisoners, more than 1,800 war horses seized, and countless weapons and bows and arrows. The hundred generals, Lu Bu, captured the enemy general alive, that person is it."

Wang Yan smiled and patted the leader's shoulder: "Wang Wei, right? How is your military exploits?"

The leader named Wang Wei heard the general call out his name and laughed: "A group of brothers killed 28 enemies."

"Very good, after this battle, I will promote you."

"Yes!" Wang Wei replied loudly.

"Bring the enemy general over here." Wang Yan ordered the sergeant behind him.

The sergeant over there responded and brought the tied-up enemy general forward. Wang Yan could see clearly that the man was tied to a horse and had come over for twenty miles. He didn't look very good at the moment.

Two soldiers brought the man over, but as soon as they let go, the enemy general collapsed to the ground, his face bruised and swollen, and he looked very embarrassed.

Wang Yan looked down from above and said lightly: "Tell me your name."

"I am Qu Yi, and I am willing to surrender."

This is Qu Yi, Wang Yan was happy. The player who became famous in the battle of Jie Bridge and was the first to be named a dead soldier and left his name for two thousand years appeared in front of Wang Yan in this way.

He really didn't know who was on the other side before, which was due to his strong self-confidence.

But now Qu Yi's words are not very good, and he surrendered as soon as he opened his mouth, which is not good.

Of course, the main reason is that Qu Yi is not qualified. According to his standards, Qu Yi is doomed to die. Originally, he belonged to Han Fu first, and then to Yuan Shao. In the end, he was arrogant and unruly, and was killed by Yuan Shao.

This is an ambitious man, and he is also "arrogant". This word represents to a certain extent that he does not regard the people as human beings. After all, even if he is arrogant two thousand years later, he does not look down on the common people at all. People who abuse people are mostly the same, but they use different methods.

Wang Yan did not want to talk to this kind of contestant, so he waved his hand: "Send it to medical experiments."

The soldier kicked Qu Yi in the mouth to stop him from speaking, glanced at him with pity, and then dragged the struggling Qu Yi away.

After dispersing this group of soldiers, Wang Yan called the guards: "Order the soldiers to stop training, rest for half an hour, and reorganize the army to escort the prisoners of war. After that, reinforce Huang Zhong. Order to gather 10,000 militiamen to meet the prisoners of war, kill the officers, and the rest of the prisoners of war will be forced to serve for three years."

"Yes, general."

The guards took the order and went to pass the order.

Wang Yan watched the soldiers' actions silently...

Huang Zhong must not have left yet, because there are prisoners of war. After dealing with the prisoners of war, they will continue to march into Gaoyang County. Ba County is nearly 200 miles away from Gaoyang County. When Huang Zhong led his army there, Yuan Shao knew the news.

Now it depends on whether Yuan Shao is sensible. If Yuan Shao is sensible, then this battle will not be a big fight. If he is not sensible, Yuan Shao may die this time.

To be fair, Wang Yan certainly does not want Yuan Shao to die now, because Yuan Shao still needs to stir up the situation, which is beneficial to him. But if he really wants to die, there is no way, he can only be forced to annex Jizhou.

Wang Yan looked to the south, Yuan Shao, you have to understand something, this is self-rescue, don't force me to kill you...
