Qi Rongxun knew very well that with the numerical advantage of the demon thieves, no matter how complete the formation of him and his soldiers was, no matter how tacit the cooperation was, they would sooner or later be overwhelmed by the demon thieves. Without the support of the large army behind, Qi Rongxun could only wait for the morale of the demon thieves to collapse.

But the demon thieves who rushed forward from the back row swore to everyone the firm morale of the demon thieves. After this round of short but ferocious firefights, the corpses of demon thieves were already piled up in front of the official and military formations, but the demon thieves still rushed forward desperately, and in a trance, Qi Rongxun felt that he had returned to the front of the Shouchun array.

Although the firearms of the Shenji battalion are strong, they can only be fired single-shot, and even if they rely on the cooperation between the rear row and the front row, it is impossible to keep the musket firing all the time with the tactics of dividing charge shooting, and the preparation time of the Furlong machine is even longer. The demon thieves desperately rushed to the front of the formation in the gap between the firearms parking, and used the weapons in their hands and even their own flesh and blood to push the long lance in the hands of the officers and soldiers in the front row.

Seeing that the lance array was about to be chaotic and the firearms could not stop the demon thieves from approaching, Qi Rongxun issued a new order after the last round of artillery bombardment by the Fran machine. After Qi Rongxun's order, all the shotgunners and fur machines of the Shenji Battalion were withdrawn from the front row, and behind them, the long sword soldiers of the Royal Forest Army, led by Qi Rongxun himself, who had been on standby, were substituted behind the lancers with long blades.

After the soldiers stood in their positions, they shouted this slogan and raised their long knives, these long swordsmen of the Royal Forest Army held the knife in their left hand, held the knife in their right hand, and raised the knife above their heads with the blade upward.

The demon thieves suffered huge losses, and the blood flowed like a river for now, and it was finally found that the empty demon thieves rushed in from the mouth like ants that smelled sweetness, and the swarming demon thieves squeezed the long lance away at the same time, and it was even more difficult for the soldiers to keep the formation intact.

If the demon thieves with short arms were allowed to rush in front of the lancers, the outer defense line of the official army would collapse. But Qi Rongxun and his Imperial Forest Army Captain Swordsmen would not tolerate this kind of thing happening, they were preparing for this moment.

The swordsmen raised their knives above the top, and the one-man tall knives were no less than ordinary spears. Qi Rongxun held his long knife high and looked at him like a torch, he held his breath and stared intently at the thieves running in front of him. Qi Rongxun returned to the vestibule where he practiced martial arts with his father and the military master when he was a teenager at this moment, and now there are only approaching demon thieves in his eyes, and the surrounding environment has turned into nothingness. Qi Rongxun watched the demon thief run to his eyes, watched the demon thief raise his waist knife, he saw the crazy and helpless look on the demon thief's face, and then Qi Rongxun moved.

It only takes a moment to attack, and the short stabbing blow that is completely conditioned reflex is like an iron needle piercing the blister, and it only once pierces the virtual realm wrapped around Qi Rongxun, Qi Rongxun returned to reality without blinking, and in front of him, the demon thief across an official army has been pierced through the chest with a long knife, and at this time, he is clutching the blade with his hand to save his life.

Qi Rongxun used both hands to slash the long knife upwards into the air, and after opening half of the demon thief's shoulder, Qi Rongxun withdrew the long knife.

The long lance hand standing in front of Qi Rongxun lowered his face slightly, and shouted to Qi Rongxun who was standing behind him:

"Master Hou, I thought you wouldn't make a move."

Qi Rongxun heard the words and said:

"Put your heart back in your belly, I won't let the thief come near you, I'm just waiting for the opportunity to attack.

Pay attention to the front, and stand up for me! “

The long knife men who were standing side by side with Qi Rongxun also stretched out their long knives from the shoulders of the soldiers in the front row to attack the demon thieves at the same time as Qi Rongxun attacked. Taizheng's Imperial Forest Army long knife was the first to be used by the Dongzhen Army, and now most of these long knife men standing beside Qi Rongxun are masters selected from Dongzhen, they are Qi Zhun's old subordinates, Qi Rongxun's robe, they are all skilled in swordsmanship, and more importantly, they are one with Qi Rongxun.

The fierce sword skills of these sergeants were the demon thieves who rushed into the commander's formation of the officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and none of the demon thieves could cut the officers and soldiers in front of them.

The demon thieves finally attacked the lance array, but they were cut down by the long swordsmen of the Royal Forest Army, and the lancers took this opportunity to readjust the weapons in their hands, and the lance array was able to reorganize again.

Qi Rongxun carefully observed the surrounding situation in between the killings. The attack of the demon thieves had been cut down by the long knife hand, and Qi Rongxun could see that the surrounding demon thieves were beginning to retreat. The thief's offensive in this round was finally contained.

When Qi Rongxun just felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a new change in the demon thief array. Although the demon thieves who came to fight for their lives just now retreated, the demon thieves on the periphery had no intention of retreating at all. When the demon thief vanguard who had just retreated gave way to the attack route, one after another sharpened long logs appeared in the demon thief array, and these logs were held in the arms of two or even three demon thieves. The demon thieves shouted and rushed forward with these logs, and the length of these logs had already caught up with the long lances in the hands of the officers and soldiers.

Qi Rongxun looked at the group of demon thieves who rushed up with the wood and their teeth were about to be crushed, he remembered the first time he fought with the demon thieves in Dangyang, and after defeating the demon thieves, he found many logs on the ground, and later Lan Ziyi and the soldiers of the Dongji Tiger Battalion had described to him the appearance of the demon thieves holding the wood to attack. Qi Rongxun turned around and ordered the shotgunners to shoot forward, but the firearms couldn't even stop the demon thieves just now, how could they stop these demon thieves who were charging with long soldiers now?

Another round of muskets rang out, and the thieves who rushed to the front were killed on the ground, but there was a steady stream of thieves holding logs behind them. The shotgun was temporarily suspended, and the long knife hand could not cut the demon thief, and at this time, the long lance men standing in the front row could only be forced to suffer the impact of the demon thief this time.

The lance hand and the attacking demon thief shouted at the same time, and weapons of similar length stabbed each other at the moment of the confrontation, but the demon thief was two or three people holding a piece of wood, and the officers and soldiers did hold a lance by themselves. The heavy log and the accelerated impact of the demon thief poked the soldiers in front of him, the armor was bent, and the huge impact force broke the leather strip that pierced the armor of the soldiers, and the armor that protected the soldiers from injury lost its defensive ability under the attack of the log, and the few armors that were not pierced by the log could not resist the transmitted force, and the soldiers who were hit by the attack fell to the ground injured in pieces.

The long lance standing in front of Qi Rongxun shouted and killed a demon thief, but the log of the demon thief also pierced the sergeant's armor and pierced his stomach.

Qi Rongxun threw the soldier behind after the soldier was hit, and then Qi Rongxun's shoulder hit the log from the side, knocking the thief holding the wood to the ground. Then Qi Rongxun picked up the lance that fell to the ground and took the position of the warrior.

Qi Rongxun just stepped on the opposite side of the position when another group of demon thieves holding logs rushed over, Qi Rongxun held the lance tightly at the waist, and saw the moment the log of the demon thief pierced in front of him, Qi Rongxun moved sideways to avoid the log attack, and then Qi Rongxun stepped forward and killed the demon thief on the opposite side with a stab, and after the lance came out, he raised the lance and smashed it downward, smashing the demon thief holding the wood on the other side.

After cleaning up the group of demon thieves in front of him, Qi Rongxun glanced back at the sergeant who was pulled back to the back by him just now, the soldier was lying on the ground, groaning and stuffing the outgoing internal organs back into his stomach, it seemed that he couldn't last long.

At this time, the horn sounded again in the demon thief array, and no new logs were brought by the demon thieves, but more demon thieves attacked with long and short weapons. Qi Rongxun opened the side again, the originally tight long lance array was rushed by this round of attacks by the demon thieves, and the long knife men and shotgunners in the back were also forced to mix together because of the attack just now, the complete front was no longer there, and the shotgunners were now fighting separately, and they could only reload their own ammunition after a shot, and the attack rate of the firearms was much lower than just now.

A bloodied general walked behind Qi Rongxun, grabbed Qi Rongxun's shoulder and shouted:

"Qi Hou! You retreat to the back! ”

Qi Rongxun took off the general's hand with all his strength, and he ordered the general:

"Captain let me die here today, where the can I go? Let the brethren all come up and try to let the shotgunners shoot with peace of mind. Also, send a signal to the army behind that we need support! ”

Lan Ziyi and Zhang Yanwu stood beside their horses and watched the soldiers of the two armies fighting fiercely not far in front. Suddenly, Zhang Yanwu said:

"Look! Qi Rongxun asked for help! ”

Lan Ziyi looked along Zhang Yanwu's point, and indeed saw that someone in the back half of Qi Rongxun's round formation was waving colorful flags to the army behind.

Lan Ziyi didn't react much when he saw the colored flag, he didn't plan to lead Tiefutu to support Qi Rongxun, nor did he think that Zhang Wang would lead his troops to support at this time.

Zhang Yanwu turned his head to look at the Zhang Wangben array behind Qi Rongxun, shook his head and said:

"Grandpa, he hasn't wanted to move yet."

Then Zhang Yanwu asked again:

"This demon thief is also strange, why are so many people only attacking half of the circle array, why don't they directly surround the circle array and push over to attack us?"

The number of demon thieves is more than ten times that of the official army, although it is restricted by the terrain, but it is very simple for the demon thieves to drown the small Qi Rongxun circle array in front of them with their numbers.

However, after the demon thieves came into contact with Qi Rongxun, they only let a small number of people in the formation besiege half of the circle, and the remaining many people were on the same level as the left and right, maintaining a line of immobility.

Lan Ziyi looked at the crooked front of those thieves who were not fighting, our chaotic pace, and the confused eyes and said:

"I guess Lei Youde is afraid that these recruits in front of him will not be able to attack while encircling the elite, do you look at the demon thieves like that, if they fight, can they still maintain the integrity of the front line?"
