Chapter 432: The Horse Stumbles

More than a dozen Dongzhen elites stood shoulder to shoulder, elbow to elbow tightly together, forming an impermeable iron wall. The weapons in the hands of these warriors were all more than six feet long, and they were so densely arranged that they should have interfered with the people next to them, but these soldiers seemed to have a connection in their hearts, and avoided the arms of their companions while swinging their swords widely, and their movements not only did not interfere with each other, but instead covered each other's defensive corners.

Each soldier in this circle is a single individual, they face the enemy in front of them, move according to the situation, and fight separately, but they do not lose their strength from this collective, seemingly independent slashes can be joined into a unified whole, the entire circle array has become an iron hedgehog under the protection of their long knives, and the demon thief can't get close to him at all.

The circle has the strength of the circle, Zhang Wang knows this very well, so he will discharge the circle formation when fighting with the thief to defend against the enemy; However, the formation of a circle requires delicate coordination, and it is impossible to talk about it without long-term training and cooperation, and King De does not know this, so under his command, the Dongzhen soldiers were defeated today.

Qi Rongxun stood in the middle of the formation, drew a circle with his left hand, and slurred with his right hand, driving his knife to slash obliquely in the limited space, cutting off three incoming spears, and a Dongzhen soldier standing beside him also slashed a row of spears with a single blow at the same time.

The weapons of the demon thieves are all wooden poles, and when they encounter the long knife of the Royal Forest Army, they naturally can't even block a single blow. But the demon thieves didn't plan to fight with Qi Rongxun with the weapons in their hands, these demon thieves experienced the initial chaos after the encounter, and now they have been reorganized.

The soldier on Qi Rongxun's side shouted to Qi Rongxun after putting away his sword:

"Major General! The thieves are all spearmen now, and we can't reach them! ”

Qi Rongxun looked at the demon thieves who had been cut off by himself and calmly retreated, his heart was as anxious as a cat scratching, this group of demon thieves was obviously in front of him, as long as he took a step to Qi Rongxun, he could kill them all. But the other spearmen who made up behind the demon thief still suppressed Qi Rongxun's impulse. After hearing the shouts of the sergeant next to him, Qi Rongxun replied hatefully:

"The demon thieves have made it clear that they want to rely on the long soldiers to exhaust us, you see that these thieves are now coming up from one wave to another, and they don't love war at all."

Another sergeant in the formation slashed a row of attacking spears with a wave of his sword, and when he heard this, he said:

"Major General, I have the ability to cut spears, but sooner or later we will not move if this is consumed. I only saw me wait for the queen of the palace again, young general, you should flee quickly! ”

The other sergeants echoed when they heard this, Qi Rongxun did not respond to the soldiers at the first time, in fact, he regretted it after being surrounded, just now he was impulsive, he just wanted to die, and desperately killed into the crowd of demon thieves, but he was surrounded by demon thieves, he couldn't survive, he couldn't die, if he was exhausted and captured alive by the demon thieves, it would really be a shame that could not be washed away by self-determination.

Qi Rongxun didn't think about the soldiers' proposals, but how could he give his soldiers their lives for a living? Obviously, it was his impulse to put his soldiers in danger, isn't the tragedy outside Shouchun City a profound lesson?

Qi Rongxun categorically would not leave his robes, but he didn't want to die here, so he had to find another way. So he asked:

"Who among you can see the main force? Is our army still fleeing now? ”

Behind Qi Rongxun, a sergeant heard the words and replied while waving his sword to defend against the demon thief's spear:

"Major General, it seems that our army is not retreating."

When Qi Rongxun heard this, a spark lit up in his heart, and he immediately asked:

"How do I not return? Is it to reorganize against thieves? “

The sergeant replied:

"No, Major General, our army is not fighting against thieves, those wastes are still fighting hand-to-hand with demon thieves, and the shotgunners are actually poking at each other with the barrel of a gun and a spearman, and there is no rule at all!"

When Qi Rongxun heard this, his heart sank again, and he asked:

"In that case, why didn't they retreat?"

After Qi Rongxun asked this, the soldiers behind him did not answer for a long time, and after a long while, the soldiers should have replied after observing clearly:

"Back to Major General, our people...... It seems to be surrounded! “

Qi Rongxun frowned involuntarily when he heard this, the collapse of the whole army before was because the demon thieves came from the two wings, and now the whole army is definitely not a good thing, but Qi Rongxun doesn't think that the current demon thief has the ability to eat his Eastern Army soldiers. When the general beside Qi Rongxun heard this, he said:

"I saw that the spear poked by the demon thief was weak, and then I saw that the demon thief's face was full of vegetables, and many of the thieves who came from behind were still swollen. Today's battle of the demon thief is obviously the end of the crossbow, if it weren't for the chaotic array of King De's platoon, we would definitely be able to eat the demon thief today.

Major General, it's a good thing for the demon thieves to be our main force, so that at least our people won't run away. “

Qi Rongxun nodded lightly when he heard this, and then the soldier behind him said:

"Major General, I saw that the crown cover of the Yu Gonggong over there in this formation stopped!"

When Qi Rongxun heard this, he only felt a pride gushing out of his chest, and the haze in his heart before was blown away by this breath. Qi Rongxun smiled:

"Good! That's great! “

Then he asked:

"Are there many demon thieves who stand in our way and the army?"

The soldier behind Qi Rongxun replied:

"Not much, just a few rows of people!"

Qi Rongxun was secretly happy when he heard this, fortunately, they were rotten by the demon thieves just now if they went too far. Then Qi Rongxun asked again:

"Can you be with me?"

When all the soldiers heard this, they replied in unison:

"I am willing to saddle up with the young general!"

Qi Rongxun smiled when he heard this:

"That's good! None of us need to be sent to death today, listen to my orders, and we will use this round formation to kill back into the army step by step! The back row stepped forward and I was in the back. Remember, we must be shoulder to shoulder, crotch to crotch, and never let the thief take advantage of our time! “

The generals happily agreed when they heard the order, and then followed Qi Rongxun's number, opened the way with a long knife, and leaned forward to the main force step by step.

The cooperation between these elites of the Eastern Army and Qi Rongxun is certainly exquisite, and the demon thieves can't get close to each other when they form a circle, but even so, they have never practiced forming a circle to move in one direction, and once they take a step, there will inevitably be a gap between these soldiers.

These gaps are not fatal, and the sword skills that the soldiers have practiced for half their lives can completely make up for this flaw. But how could a thief watch the piece of meat in his mouth fly away? As early as when Qi Rongxun was in danger alone, his loud shouting made his name spread all over the battlefield.

The demon thieves may have been forced into a desperate situation by the official army, but they have not lost their minds, the demon thieves know who Qi Rongxun is, so after surrounding Qi Rongxun, the demon thieves began to act, after Qi Rongxun shouted the slogan of retreat, the demon thieves quickly responded, and the spearmen in the front row no longer attacked Qi Rongxun and them, but stabilized their positions to cover the reinforcements coming behind them, and these demon thief reinforcements who hurriedly stepped forward were all holding shuttle darts in their hands.

Qi Rongxun had just taken a step back when he saw the reinforcements rushing up behind the demon thief, but he didn't care about it, because even if the demon thief's shuttle dart could cause trouble to Qi Rongxun and his dozens of heavily armored warriors, throwing the shuttle dart also needed space, how could there be a place for their people to throw the shuttle dart with such a dense crowd? What's more, in the direction of Qi Rongxun's retreat, there are only a few thin rows of soldiers blocking them, and the demon thief throws a round of shuttle darts, but I don't know how many of his own people will be killed, but he is clearing the way for Qi Rongxun to retreat.

But Qi Rongxun obviously underestimated the demon thief, and at the same time as the group of shuttle darts rushed up, the first two rows of spearmen who surrounded Qi Rongxun came out, and the other demon thieves evacuated backwards at the same time very magically, making enough room for the group of shuttle darts, and the group of shuttle darts also caught the actual start to accelerate, force, and throw the shuttle darts.

Qi Rongxun saw that the demon thief's posture obviously did not intend to take his own life seriously, and he was shocked at the moment, and he immediately ordered:

"Stop moving forward and watch out for enemy pikes!"

But Qi Rongxun was too late to give the order at this time, and the soldiers behind him had already swung their knives into the group of demon thieves, and at this time they were using the long knives in their hands to set off a bloody storm, and they had no time to care about what was behind them.

The shuttle darts who came from the three directions of the demon thieves threw the shuttle darts at Qi Rongxun and them at the same time, those demon thieves in front directly aimed at the Dongzhen soldiers and threw the shuttle darts in their hands horizontally, and those demon thieves who were back in the back estimated the landing point and threw their javelins high.

At the same time, the shuttle darts that flew at the same time filled all the space in front of Qi Rongxun in an instant, and the sharp spear tips flying in the sky were like swarms of bees, directly taking Qi Rongxun at the moment.

There was no time to react, Qi Rongxun could only rely on the instinct cultivated by years of martial arts and conquest to fight against the threat in front of him, the long knife was rotating and flying in Qi Rongxun's hand, but the sunlight that originally shone on the blade had long been submerged by the sea of shuttles, and the dull blade could only struggle to survive in this vast sea.

The sound of iron blades clinking in the air, each sound means that one or more bardarts have been cut off by a long knife. Qi Rongxun had already used the strength of the milk to dance the knife, his muscles were burning, and his tendons were about to be torn off, but even so, his knife was not a wall, there were still shuttle darts flying through the cracks of the knife, and there were many falling from the top of his head, so he didn't give Qi Rongxun a chance to block it at all.

Fortunately, Qi Rongxun and the others were each wearing heavy armor, and the strength of the shuttle dart thrown by the hungry demon thief for a long time was not enough to penetrate the armor, and the shuttle dart that was not shot down by the long knife could only leave a "dong dong" sound on the soldiers, which could not hurt the soldiers inside.

Qi Rongxun was banging all over his body, although the sound would not make Qi Rongxun's blood fly, but the shuttle dart that caused the sound could transmit the force to Qi Rongxun, Qi Rongxun was knocked all over his body, especially his head, and the shuttle dart hit the helmet and shook his head dizzy.
