When the two armies marched in the opposite direction, they did not run wildly all the way, but stepped on neat steps, moving forward calmly and powerfully, their steps were not big, the distance of each step was as if it had been measured, and the distance of several miles in a straight line was completed, and it had taken more than half an hour, but the formation of the team was not chaotic at all, whether it was between the phalanx and the phalanx, or inside the phalanx, the horizontal and vertical queues were as when they were just lined up.

This is the elite soldier.

It was not until they were only a hundred paces apart that the two armies began to accelerate.

A command of 500 people is a phalanx of 500 people, and several phalanxes are arranged on a line, and they collide together. As soon as they touched, they were swords and soldiers, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the sergeants in the first row who suddenly came into contact were all tiger soldiers in the army, their armor was neat and thick, and their shields collided fiercely when they looked up, expecting to knock each other over. However, in the case of having colleagues to help you behind, it is extremely difficult to knock over, or to take two steps back. After the sudden battle, it was time to compete for speed, and the sergeants of both sides drew their swords almost simultaneously, from the top of their heads, under their feet, and from every other place where they could shoot, trying to kill their opponents.

There was the one who made the first move, as soon as the arm stretched out the shield, it was stuck by the other party, cut off like lightning, and the lifeless hand fell to the ground, twitched twice in the blood water, and then there was no movement, but the soldier who went to the arm howled miserably under the severe pain, and the formation was chaotic, and was immediately taken advantage of by the other party to enter and kill it.

The shield players on both sides were on par for a while, and the knife and axe hands behind followed, lifted a giant axe weighing dozens of catties, and slashed down at the opponent's shield. These knife and axe men are all warriors in the army, and under the full force of slashing, coupled with the potential energy of the tomahawk itself, the power can be imagined, and it is not a problem to open the shield to kill. The shield hand who was cut off the shield, after the shield broke, just opened his eyes with fear, and before he could react, his head and body were split in half by the battle axe, and there was no time to react, only a bloody and bloody body remained, trampled into shape, and gradually turned into flesh.

At the same time as the sword and axe hand was in hand, in the opposite military formation, in the gap between the shields, countless spears suddenly stabbed out, and the spears with a length of more than eight zhang could effectively stab and kill the opponent's sword and axe hands while ensuring that the sergeant was not cut by the battle axe. When the pikemen succeeded, the sergeant with the horizontal knife rushed out of the formation, and the cat leaned over, and the speed was incredibly fast, and he slashed and stabbed the opposing sergeant, tearing open a large gap, bringing out a large piece of flesh and blood, and some even brought out the intestines and internal organs, and sprinkled them all over the ground, which made people feel chilling.

The battle formations are connected, pay attention to breaking through the opponent's defense in the shortest possible time, and also pay attention to the coordination of the troops, the shield is in front, the knife and axe hand is behind, the spear saves the knife and axe hand, and the horizontal knife trap soldier saves the spear, and in the process of taking care of each other, break into the opponent's formation and kill the enemy on the opposite side. In this way, on the front of the two armies, every step is the remains of broken limbs, and every step is a blur of flesh and blood.

When it comes to the battle formation, the main general's function is often in two aspects, either taking the lead in tearing up the enemy formation in order to quickly break the enemy, or sitting in the center and commanding the entire battle formation, in order to grasp the overall situation of the battlefield. In past battles, Li Congjing has always played the latter role, but Qin Shide is different.

In this kind of frontal hard battle battle, usually the method of battle does not change much, that is, to see who kills the enemy formation first. At this time, many generals know that there will not be much change, and they have no other strange time, so they will often rush to the front, relying on their own martial arts, to lead the soldiers to break through the enemy formation.

This is the case with Qin Shide.

He often told people that the way to lead the soldiers was to share weal and woe with the soldiers on weekdays, and to train them strictly, so that once they fought with the enemy, they would advance and retreat to a certain extent, and when they arrived on the battlefield, they would take the lead in the soldiers, so that the soldiers would use their lives.

His way of warfare is simple, but practical.

At this time, Qin Shide rushed to the front line of the battle array, he can be called the Jiedu envoy, it is impossible for him not to be brave, although he is now older, but the fighting skills are more skilled, he took hundreds of guards to form a phalanx, quickly tore apart the first display of the Khitan army formation, and broke into the Khitan army array. This method of warfare is to take the path of breaking the enemy with force, and the enemy army will either send a more brave general than him to kill him, or send more elite foot soldiers to block their pace, and there is no other choice.

Qin Shide made the weapon a big chopping knife, which was not much different from the Mo knife in the army, and the blade was more than three feet. Such a heavy big chopping knife was as light as nothing in his hands, and the actions of chopping, chopping, stabbing, and picking were carried out in his hands at an extremely fast speed, often before the Khitan soldiers could react, they had already been dismantled.

Behind Qin Shide, there was a corpse left, almost not intact, and the blood sprinkled was like a carpet, mixed with the stumps of flesh, like fallen leaves covering the earth, and it was extremely terrifying.

Seeing that Qin Shi was so brave, many of the Khitan soldiers on the opposite side were terrified, mentally unstable, and at risk of not being able to support it. Qin Shi had to fight so boldly, and the guards around him were all of the same style, and few people used light weapons such as horizontal knives, all of which were heavy soldiers such as knives and axes. This phalanx is scary enough to look at.

With a bold move, Qin Shide and his guard phalanx marched forward proudly.

After the Khitan army was formed, Yelu Pheasant, who commanded the whole army, saw this scene and frowned.

In the battle of several thousand people, when the situation did not change drastically and caused a shock to the whole army, the officers and men of the various units could not know the battle situation of other units, and their battles were to a large extent carried out "in the dark", but under the command of the generals of their own units, they moved forward and backward. This is true for the soldiers, but there is communication between the commanders of the various ministries and between the commanders and the commanders, and they can generally know the situation of the other ministries.

The young man who had previously vowed to take Qin Shide's head and ranked eighth among the Yelu Pheasant brothers, at this time, heard that Qin Shide's leadership was advancing vigorously, and his own defeat not only did not make him worry, on the contrary, his face showed excitement, "I thought it would be difficult to find this old man among the thousands of Tang troops, but I never thought that he would show his head so well, but now it is better than me to find him!" Go and ask the eldest brother to fight, I'm going to kill Qin Shide! ”

The war was going on, and all the departments had tasks, and the commander was not allowed to leave his post without permission, so he asked the heralds to ask for war. When the herald got his military order, he couldn't help but get excited, and immediately rushed to Shuaitai.

At the same time, the fifth child, who had mocked the young man before, also learned the news at this time, different from the eighth child's excitement, his gloomy eyes flashed a few times, and the gloomy color on his face became a little thicker, as if he was calculating something all the time. In the end, he did not make any immediate move, but only asked the herald who came to report to continue to pay attention to the situation, and then buried his head in the battle in front of him.

Yelu Pheasant did not immediately approve after receiving the eighth child's invitation to fight, but looked at Qin Shide's unstoppable figure in silence and fell silent.

The eighth waited for a long time, didn't wait for Yelu Pheasant to reply, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, he secretly thought to himself: Big brother didn't agree to my request for war, but why, if this credit was robbed by others, then wouldn't I miss the great opportunity in vain?

Thinking of this, he sent a second liaison soldier to ask for the pheasant's life.

Until the third liaison soldier still did not bring back Yelu Pheasant's military order, he felt that the time seemed to have passed a year, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and a thick anger appeared on his face, and he angrily left the soldiers under his command who were fighting, and went to Yelu Pheasant in person.

"Big brother, Qin Shide's old man is right in front of him, and he is breaking my army formation, why don't you allow me to kill him?!" The angry old eight, after seeing Yelu Pheasant, even saved the courtesy, and asked in a questioning tone, looking extremely dissatisfied.

Yelu Pheasant glanced at Lao Ba expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Without the commander's order, you left your post without permission and abandoned the soldiers of your headquarters, which is really bold!" ”

Yelu Pheasant's appearance made the eighth man even more angry, he has always been arrogant, looking down on other brothers, calling Yelu Pheasant "big brother", but because he is the head of the eight, many things have to rely on him. Now seeing that Yelu Pheasant actually had the intention of not allowing him to make meritorious contributions, he immediately couldn't hold back his temper, in his opinion, he was his own credit, and if others didn't give it to him, it was robbing him of something.

He said angrily: "Yelu Pheasant, are you jealous of your ability and are afraid that I will make meritorious contributions?!" ”

Before the pheasant could speak, he rode again, but it was the fifth man who came. He glanced at Lao Ba, saluted Yelu Pheasant, put away his gloomy aura, and said in a proper manner: "Big brother, Qin Shide is quite powerful, the military formation in front of him can no longer resist, I am afraid that there will be changes if I don't deal with it." I know that my eldest brother must already be confident, but I just hope that my eldest brother will send me to fight and let me make meritorious contributions to the army! ”

Yelu Pheasant glanced at Lao Wu, his expression softened slightly, before he could speak, Lao Ba had already glared at Lao Wu angrily, and shouted first: "Qin Shide's head is mine, and it is me to kill him, why are you fighting with me?!" After that, he looked at Yelu Pheasant again, "Big brother, you promised me to let me go and get Qin Shide's head!" He glanced at Lao Wu, and snorted coldly with disdain: "Moreover, in the whole army, I have the best martial arts, and when the others come to Qin Shide, don't take off Qin Shide's head, but the other party will take the head, and when the time comes, it will cause panic in the army, then it will be counterproductive!" ”

The fifth child naturally heard that the eighth child was pointing at Sang and scolding Kui, a look of annoyance and anger appeared on his face, and he glared at the eighth child for a long time, and then he said angrily, "Good, good, good!" Eighth, if you want to go, I won't stop you! He said to Yelu Pheasant: "Big brother, since the eighth is ambitious, I won't rob him, but it is a big matter to kill Qin Shi, and there is no room for loss, I am willing to plunder the battle for the eighth child!" ”

Yelu Pheasant glanced at Lao Wu deeply, nodded and said, "If you can have such a mind, my father will be happy." After that, he said to the old eight: "Since you are eager to fight, what if I will fulfill you?" ”

The eighth was overjoyed and excited, "Thank you, big brother!" ”

In the military formation, Qin Shide was covered in blood, waved the big chopping knife in his hand, rushed the slap horse to his eyes, and shouted that a Khitan general who killed him was split in half, wiped a handful of blood on his face, he spat and laughed, and pointed at the terrifying Khitan sergeant in front of him, and said arrogantly: "You wait for thieves, don't stay in the grassland honestly, you want to invade my border, today I will let you know that in front of the Tang army, you are nothing!" Dare to come and rob Lao Tzu's money and food, that is looking for death! ”

With that, he raised his knife and stepped forward again. The two centurions in front of him looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and killed him at the same time. Qin Shide let out a low snort, swung his big slash horizontally, and cut off the heads of the two centurions together before they could get close. In the gushing fountain of blood, the heads of people flying high above the heads of the crowd did not know where they fell.

Qin Shide shouted happily, and his footsteps did not stop.

The battle has come to this, Qin Shide's physical exertion has long been not small, although he is old and strong, but after all, the years have left traces on him, and the injuries and illnesses of most of his life have made his body no longer strong, although the Khitan army is now frightened, there is hope of breaking the formation, but from his gradually worsening breathing, it is not difficult to glimpse the decline of his physical strength.

A group of Khitan sergeants, suddenly going crazy, rushed towards Qin Shide, sealing his way of advance and retreat to death, and the room for turning around was reduced by more than half in an instant.

At this moment, a very jujube red war horse suddenly rushed out of the Khitan army, and immediately the young general crouched down with a gun, and before and after rushing into Qin Shide's body, there was still a little immature voice and shouted: "Qin Shide, Nai Weng came to take your life, and he will not die!" ”

But it was the old eight who killed.

Behind him, followed by the equally skilled Lao Wu.

Qin Shide didn't recognize the eighth child, and he didn't know that the other party had been intent on killing him for a long time, and he was not in the mood to ask who was coming. In front of him, the Khitan sergeants who cooperated with Lao Ba were all red-eyed. At the same time as they struck, the iron spear in the hands of the old eight - stabbed.

Qin Shide's feet sank steadily on the ground.

In the shadow of the impenetrable sword, the big slash in his hand slid from the bottom to the top, sliding through a flashing arc.

The spear of the old eight is close at hand.

Qin Shide's arms were raised, and the big chopping knife was swung up and fell.

There was a tragic neighing of the horse, the jujube red war horse was cut in half from the horse's head, the old eight on the horse froze, and in his disbelief, a blood line emerged from the midline of his body. The spear in his hand fell to the ground before it touched Qin Shide, and immediately, his lifeless body fell to the ground like a stone.

The body cracked, and the internal organs gushed out and shattered to the ground.

From beginning to end, Qin Shide didn't look at Lao Ba much, and swung the big slasher in his hand towards the next enemy.
