Originally, Lao Shan was counting on Qin Yi to rely on nepotism to be able to pull out a jackpot or something here, and make a military exploit, and he Lao Shan also had face on his face. is to know that this is the result, and the losses are heavy, but the old mountain is angry.

Lao Shan gave Qin Yi a rough order, and before he was 100% sure, he must not act rashly.

The army then continued its march forward.

Three days later, the army had advanced about one hundred and fifty miles. However, at this time, the general Lao Shan received information from the scouts that a hundred miles ahead, a large number of people wearing red turbans were gathering, and the number was around seven or eight thousand.

They are very organized and disciplined, and it seems that they are a systematic army.

Lao Shan immediately found someone to come to the meeting, and after some discussion and identification, it was determined that the brigade assembled in front belonged to the enemy's main force.

As the remnants of the previous dynasty, they are known as bandits, and it is not common for such a large-scale bandit to gather to resist.

And now that such a situation has appeared, the only thing that can be explained is that they have recovered their vitality and have the capital to fight with the regular army of the imperial court, and it seems that this is a tough battle.

Lao Shan immediately formulated a war plan, and fought head-on with the same number of regular troops and enemy troops, and the prestige of the imperial court must not be weakened.

This time it is still voluntary, and if there is not enough people, it will be decided by lottery.

At the voting meeting, Qin Nan and the other three took the initiative to stand up and took the lead in expressing their willingness to act as pioneers. The eyes of others looking at them are very strange, even Qin Yi and them have failed, not to mention that this time it is a large enemy army, which belongs to the main force, and now they are not looking for death?

It was precisely because of this realization that most of the centurions were silent, and it seemed that they were reluctant to go out.

This can make Lao Shan angry again, although the soldiers recruited by the martial arts list are strong, but the power differentiation is very strict, because they are not conscious at all, purely to make military merits, where is there any sense of serving the country?

Fortunately, there are a few people such as Qin Nan as representatives, otherwise there would really be no one who wants to go to the battlefield, this is the regular army of the imperial court, can the regular army be like this?

Lao Shan had no choice but to use the method of drawing lots, except for the twenty centurions who participated in the raid three days ago, the rest of the people all participated in the lottery.

After drawing lots, eighty centurions, plus eight thousand regular troops, were finally selected to form a vanguard army to meet the main force of the locality.

Among them, Qin Nan, Li Hongzhang and Lu You are included.

That night, the army was stationed in the same place and rested.

Early the next morning, after eating, the 8,000-strong army went into battle lightly and headed for the enemy's main army.

Among the eighty centurions this time, there were not many familiar faces, all of them were some young men and girls with good skills, all of them were arrogant and arrogant.

To tell the truth, they came to the Wind Blind Islands for military merit, and as for what to serve the country and the like, it has nothing to do with them, and they are not interested.

After marching for more than half a day and advancing seventy or eighty miles, the 8,000-strong vanguard army finally met the enemy's main force, and the two sides formally met on a huge plain.

In terms of equipment, it is obvious that the precious army of the imperial court is much more advanced, although the shape of the standard armor is not uniform, but it is always armor, armed all over, and the weapons are polished brightly, and the cold light is shining.

On the other side of the plain, there were rebels wearing red silk scarves, dressed in inconsistent clothes, looking dirty and not very formal. But their morale is calm, like veterans of the battlefield.

On the other hand, on the side of the regular army of the imperial court, because most of them are newcomers, they have lost a lot in terms of momentum. Seeing so many enemy troops at once, he suddenly became a little breathless, and even some centurions changed their faces drastically, and they had never seen so many people at one time.

"Don't panic. ”

Li Hongzhang roared, put his spear on the ground, and plunged deep into the dirt.

There are so many people here, it seems that he is the only one who has been on the battlefield, and he has fought hard with the enemy with real knives and guns, and the others are all newcomers compared to him.

"We are the regular army of the imperial court, do the regular army have a situation like you? Those who disturb the hearts of our army will be beheaded on the spot."

Li Hongzhang roared again and again, exuding a brave aura all over his body, like a god of war.

"Give me the drums. ”

Li Hongzhang gave an order, and immediately, more than a dozen cowhide drums next to him broke out with a loud sound of "dong dong dong", which echoed on the plain and immediately shocked people's hearts.

"Don't mess up the formation, charge"

Immediately, 8,000 people roared in unison and ran forward. No matter how timid he was, he was also coerced by a large group of people and horses to rush forward.

The Red Turban Army on the opposite side also moved, and they rolled out their war drums and struck violently on the mountain bag. The seven or eight thousand red turban troops below began to charge over, and their momentum was a bit fierce.

In less than a minute, the armies of the two sides, five hundred meters apart, collided together and began to clash fiercely.

Flag: Spread out.

On the side of the regular army, the flag soldiers stood on the high ground and waved the flag according to the meaning of the commander.

Immediately, the large phalanx of the regular army of the imperial court began to disperse, and every hundred people were a column, which was neatly separated, expanding the distance between the columns and the columns.

At first, the flag language was not used, because the enemy army was killed, which made many people frightened and panicked.

Fortunately, the frightened people quickly reacted, and immediately followed the footsteps of the large phalanx, split vertically and horizontally, opened their mouths, and let in all the enemy troops who were swarming over.

The regular army of the imperial court was indeed still strong, and after the column separated, it quickly swallowed up part of the enemy army, and then besieged it.

In an instant, the killing shouts became more violent, and the sound of weapons colliding and the "hissing" sound of weapons cutting through flesh and blood were mixed together, and the scene became chaotic.

Generally speaking, the footsteps of the regular army have not been in a big mess, and they can still hold on.

Qin Nan and Li Hongzhang were at the forefront, both of them were killing, and every time they shot, several Red Turban soldiers fell.

Qin Nan's Thunder Hell Demon Knife was even more domineering, slashing the enemy several times in a row, which was very terrifying.

Looking at Lu You next to her, at this time, she actually felt a little uncomfortable sending and receiving, probably because she was frightened just now, and her current situation is very passive.

Several Red Turban soldiers besieged her together and slashed her repeatedly, if it weren't for Lu You's skills, she was afraid that she would be killed on the spot.

Although Lu You only has the cultivation of the fourth stage of the martial arts, compared to those Red Turban Army who have no martial arts cultivation, it is still quite powerful, and twenty or thirty of them can't help her, but she didn't play at a normal level for a while.
