Chapter 374

"Where are the Vanguard Death Soldiers? Where are the Vanguard Death Soldiers?"

"Quick, let Qu Yi lead them to meet the enemy!"

Tian Feng and Guo Tu ordered the personal guards behind them.

The personal guards ran over quickly to pass the order, but the news they got was that Qu Yi refused to fight.

Saying that Yan Liang must apologize to him first...

Getting this reply, Yuan Tan, Tian Feng, and Guo Tu felt their chests heaving with anger.

Yan Liang, who was on the side, said in a deep voice upon seeing this:

"Since Qu Yi insists on this, then I will apologize to him."

"But I hope that the Vanguard Death Soldiers can truly create a miracle and block the spearhead of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry."

As a veteran general under Yuan Shao, Yan Liang participated in the two coalition wars against Dong Zhuo.

He deeply knew just how fierce the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was!

Back then, during the first coalition against Dong Zhuo.

Hua Xiong was led by Gu Yi.

And led twenty thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry to raid the coalition camp, starting a battle that made him famous!

And after that, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry appeared on the battlefield many times.

Vaguely, it had long been called "one of the three most elite cavalry units"!

And the other two most elite cavalry units were the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the White Horse Followers.

It's just that the White Horse Followers had already disappeared into the long river of history under the shooting of the Vanguard Death Soldiers.

The only three hundred people remaining were the three hundred people Gu Yi had tricked from Gongsun Zan back then.

And these three hundred people had also been incorporated into the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, becoming the personal guards beside Zhao Yun.

Now.

Facing the charge of twenty thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Yan Liang knew deeply that if anyone in the Yuan army could defeat the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it must be Qu Yi and the Vanguard Death Soldiers.

Therefore.

In order to prioritize the big picture.

Yan Liang chose to go and apologize to Qu Yi.

Seeing this action of Yan Liang.

Yuan Tan, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, and Chunyu Qiong all sighed endlessly.

Is Qu Yi arrogant?

He is simply arrogant to the heavens!

But for such an arrogant and domineering person, why did Yuan Shao keep him all along?

Because in this era, only the Vanguard Death Soldiers could be called the "nemesis of cavalry."

It was exactly the same in history.

Before defeating Gongsun Zan, in order to win over Qu Yi, Yuan Shao kept promoting him and giving him raises.

Even when facing Qu Yi's repeated public retorts, Yuan Shao always greeted him with a smiling face.

(PS: The matter of Qu Yi repeatedly retorting to Yuan Shao in public is recorded in the "Weilue," and is not a fabrication by the little author.)

However.

After Yuan Shao completely defeated Gongsun Zan.

In less than a month, Yuan Shao executed Qu Yi on a bunch of charges!

A person who could make their own lord so unbearable.

Looking at the entire late Han and Three Kingdoms period, only Qu Yi had this treatment.

And now.

Yan Liang walked quickly toward Qu Yi's location.

Apologized to him in public.

And in a tone that was almost begging, pleaded with Qu Yi to lead the Vanguard Death Soldiers into battle to meet the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

"Humph! Yan Liang, you have today too?"

"Wait until this general and the Vanguard Death Soldiers wipe out the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, then I will settle the account of you hitting me earlier!"

Qu Yi snorted coldly.

He was not a broad-minded person.

Qu Yi kept in mind the matter of Yan Liang knocking him out, and swore to make Yan Liang pay the price.

But now.

Seeing the Xiliang Iron Cavalry about to charge over.

It was obviously not the time to settle accounts with Yan Liang.

The Vanguard Death Soldiers, expanded from the original eight hundred to two thousand, quickly assembled under Qu Yi's call.

Looking at the Xiliang Iron Cavalry charging toward them from not far away, the Vanguard Death Soldiers showed cruel smiles on their faces.

The last time they heartily shot down cavalry with their powerful crossbows was during the Battle of Jieqiao.

The White Horse Followers under Gongsun Zan's command were running toward death one after another in exactly this manner!

And today.

In the eyes of the Vanguard Death Soldiers.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, this cavalry unit famous throughout the world.

Was also about to follow in the footsteps of the former White Horse Followers!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

The Vanguard Death Soldiers set up large shields in front of them.

This move could effectively prevent the Xiliang Iron Cavalry from shooting from a distance.

After setting up the shield formation.

Next, they only needed to wait for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to approach the shield formation.

And the Vanguard Death Soldiers could take out their powerful crossbows and slaughter them!

However.

The sound of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's hooves suddenly stopped.

They saw them suddenly rush toward different directions from their original positions.

This move made Qu Yi feel very confused.

However, he was not without countermeasures.

The Vanguard Death Soldiers' shield formation could also change as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's movement direction changed.

But, just as the Vanguard Death Soldiers were preparing to move.

They saw not far away, a team of armored soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding heavy halberds suddenly appeared behind the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

After the Xiliang Iron Cavalry dispersed.

This team of armored soldiers raided toward the direction of the Vanguard Death Soldiers!

"This..."

"What is this situation?"

Qu Yi fell into a daze.

Although this team of armored soldiers was only infantry, the feeling they gave him was quite bad.

Seeing this team of armored soldiers quickly approaching this place.

The unease in Qu Yi's heart deepened continuously.

Gradually, Qu Yi could already see the face of the leader of this team of armored soldiers.

The face of that martial general revealed calmness and composure; it was Zhang He!

And the name of this team of armored soldiers was "Great Halberd Warriors"!

Great Halberd Warriors, as the name suggests, are strong men wearing heavy armor and holding long halberds.

The heavy armor on their bodies could by no means be pierced by ordinary crossbow arrows.

Moreover, the physical fitness of every Great Halberd Warrior could be called one in a hundred.

The only drawback was that their mobility was too poor.
