Chapter 173: The Steel Wall

All around, swords and swords, crowds of people, blood and light filled the sky, there were shouts of killing and fighting everywhere, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

In general, the regular army of the imperial court had the advantage, because the phalanx was never breached, and all the soldiers were wearing iron armor and had strong defense, which greatly reduced casualties.

And the Red Turban Army is miserable, most of them have no iron armor, only leather armor, and some of them don't even have leather armor, wearing ordinary linen clothes, slashing past, not dead or injured.

Qin Nan jumped high, and the Thunder Hell Demon Knife violently burst out, bursting out with a red blood ray, instantly shaking over seven or eight red turban troops.

Immediately, Qin Nan quickly flashed to Lu You's side, solved the enemies besieged around her, and rescued her.

The situation just now is too critical, this is not better than fighting, the other party is a red turban army, it is a rebellion, the sword and gun are not long-eyed, and if you don't die with a knife, you will be seriously injured, but it is not like a fight.

Qin Nan pulled Lu You and found Li Hongzhang, and the three of them leaned close together, forming a small three-talent formation and cooperating with each other.

The two armies fought for more than ten minutes, and finally, the Red Turban Army began to retreat.

Seeing this, the people were greatly boosted, and quickly solved the red turban army that was surrounded in the middle of the phalanx, and killed indiscriminately.

General Lao Shan stood on the mountain bag, looking at the whole battle situation, and he also saw the phenomenon of the Red Turban Army beginning to retreat, and immediately ordered to pursue the victory without giving the enemy any respite.

Flag: Pursue victory.

"Kill"

Li Hongzhang jumped out and roared, and the regular army of the imperial court immediately followed the command of Qiyu and began to chase and kill the Red Turban Army.

The battlefield was littered with dead bodies and severed limbs, swords, guns, swords, and halberds scattered all over the place, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Later soldiers were all stained with blood, either the enemy or their own.

The Red Turbans began to retreat up the hill.

Although they are now defeated, they still do not forget to put up a stubborn resistance when they retreat. And at this time, they stood on a high place, looked down on the low place, and occupied a geographical advantage.

As soon as the regular army of the imperial court rushed over, they immediately fell into a strong battle, and the pace of pursuit was forced to stop, and there were even signs of sliding down the mountain.

Some of the centurions turned around and ran, and the ordinary soldiers behind them were also timid, not knowing whether to move forward or retreat?

"Stay in formation. ”

Seeing this, Li Hongzhang roared again and ordered his hundred-man brigade to resist the Red Turban Army that rushed down.

If there is chaos at this time, the result will be a reversal of victory and defeat, and a big loss of the Red Turban Army will be suffered.

Li Hongzhang was even powerful, and immediately, Qin Nan and Lu You's 100-man brigade immediately followed, and Li Hongzhang's 100-man brigade turned around, standing on the slope to resist the Red Turban Army.

The Red Turban Army relied on its geographical advantage, established a defensive line, and turned back to resist.

The regular army of the imperial court could not go up, nor could they break through the defensive line, let alone retreat.

For a while, the battle was stalemate, and there was a heart-wrenching scene.

"Kill, don't retreat, give me the shield soldier. ”

Li Hongzhang commanded skillfully, and then, the advantage of the three hundred people who had been trained was taken out, and the team skillfully dodged, crossed, and switched.

Fifty shield-bearers with thick shields charged to the front and smashed their shields to the ground.

Bang bang bang

In an instant, fifty iron shields rose from the ground like a wall of steel, forming another impregnable line of defense

On the mountain bag on this side of the battlefield, the general Lao Shan and a cadre of staff were nervously watching the battle.

When the battle on both sides was stalemate on the mountainside, some of them even burst out with roars, and their expressions were extremely solemn.

This situation is very embarrassing, because no one knows whether it is a conspiracy of the Red Turban Army. In this way, their geographical advantage can easily turn the situation around.

For the imperial court, it is a great shame to turn victory into defeat.

However, at this moment, a steel wall with white light rose from the ground, resisting the pace of the Red Turban Army as it rushed down the mountain.

Seeing this scene, Lao Shan and his staff were shocked.

"Who's that guy?"

Lao Shan squinted his eyes and asked.

"It's Li Hongzhang, and his psychological element is very tenacious. A staff member next to him wiped his sweat and said calmly.

"He is not alone, there are two other centurions, including the daughter of Qin Nan and Lu Feng, the governor of Qingyang Province, that is, the three of them. ”

Another aide added that it was true that if no one cooperated, it would be impossible for Li Hongzhang to accomplish this kind of thing alone.

"Qin Nan?"

Lao Shan muttered a sentence in his mouth, his eyes sparkled, and he heard this hateful name again, which made him extremely unhappy in his heart.

But as soon as he turned his head slightly, he saw Luo Soul next to him, who was sitting on the Taishi chair, and he looked like he had nothing to do with himself.

Seeing Luo Soul, Lao Shan was immediately speechless, and originally wanted to impeach Qin Nan. But in front of Luo Soul, the words he held back in his heart were no longer able to speak

"Spearmen. ”

Li Hongzhang continued to order.

Immediately, a hundred spearmen held iron spears three or four meters long, stretched out in front of their shields, and aimed straight at the Red Turban Army who were swooping down.

The iron spear reflected the cold light of this word in the reflection of the sun's rays. This iron spear was thick and heavy, and was originally used against charging cavalry, but now it was used against the diving Red Turban army.

But the effect was good, seeing a few meters long iron spear sticking out from the shield, the cold light flashed, like a huge steel cactus.

In this situation, even a horse can pierce through it, let alone an ordinary person.

Seeing this, the pace of the Red Turban Army immediately stopped, they were all stupid, they didn't expect the imperial army to come back, and they actually prepared a big spear to deal with the cavalry.

The Red Turban Army, who was at the forefront, was a little dumbfounded, swallowed his saliva, and was actually stumped at the moment, not knowing whether to move forward or retreat?

"Broadsword, kill me. ”

Just when they were stunned, Li Hongzhang behind the shield gave an order.

Immediately, the steel shield gave way, and a hundred big sword soldiers held a chopping knife more than a meter long, holding the handle with both hands, and killed from behind the shield.

In an instant, the battle broke out again, on the mountainside below, this situation was not high or low, and the big sword soldiers suddenly killed, the weapons were not long or short, just to give full play to their advantages.

Qin Nan bore the brunt of the attack, wielding the Thunder Hell Demon Knife and smashing into the Red Turban Army.

A knife, a vertical split.

Qin Nan led the broadsword soldiers into the enemy group and started a bloody battle with the Red Turban Army, which was more than ten times his own.

"Thunder and wind. ”

"Thunder arc light slash. ”

"Divine Thunder Prison Slash. ”

Qin Nan continuously used the moves of the Thunder Hell Demon Knife, without reservation, jumping high from time to time, exerting the power of ninety out of nine.
