    The Skeleton Battalion of the Southern Army is all selected elite soldiers. They were formed by Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan himself, and their combat effectiveness is also first-class.

    In the battle with Yang Hao's rebels, the Skeleton Camp also turned the tide several times, so the Skeleton Camp also gained fame.

    When Yuan Jie, the head of the Qinghe Army's Second Corps, was preparing to take down the southern army's central army led by Luo Jing, he collected information on the southern army's army from various aspects.

    So Yuan Jie also knew how powerful the Southern Army's Skeleton Battalion was, so the cavalry troops on his two wings were never used, and were used to deal with the Skeleton Battalion.

    The most powerful infantry flag regiment under Yuan Jie's command is Han Feng's 12th Banner Regiment. They have experienced countless bloody battles.  Against the Skeleton Battalion, the combat effectiveness should be comparable.

    However, the Twelfth Banner Regiment suffered serious losses in a series of battles, especially in the early stage of the confrontation with the Southern Army. They had to face nearly 200,000 Southern Army alone.

    Although they relied on the towns and cities to stop them, the casualties of the Twelfth Banner Regiment were not small.

    Now some new recruits have been recruited to the 12th Banner Regiment, which has also weakened the combat effectiveness of the 12th Banner Regiment to a certain extent.

    So Yuan Jie did not dare to take the Twelfth Banner Regiment against the Southern Army's Skeleton Battalion, because he was not sure of victory.

    However, although the Southern Army's Skeleton Battalion was elite, they were all light infantry. Yuan Jie finally decided to let the cavalry deal with them.

    Because the cavalry has a natural advantage in dealing with infantry soldiers, and the 13th Banner Regiment of the cavalry is not weak, it is best used to deal with the skeleton battalion.

    "There is an order from the head of the regiment, the cavalry is ready to attack!"

    A messenger rode his horse and galloped up to Lei Ming, the head of the 13th Banner Cavalry, and loudly conveyed the order.

    Lei Ming and their cavalry troops have been watching the battle from the flanks. Seeing the darkness of the battlefield, they have long been impatient.

    However, the military orders of the Qinghe Army were like a mountain. They saw the infantry brothers fighting bloody battles. Although they wanted to go up to help, there was no order, so they could only wait patiently.

    Now that they heard the military order for them to prepare to attack, the densely packed cavalry ranks were agitated slightly. Amidst the clanging sound of gold and iron, a snow-like knife light lit up above the cavalry ranks, shining brightly in the sun.

    The soldiers of the Southern Army's Skeleton Battalion wore skull masks, and their cold eyes were full of bloodthirsty killing intent.

    They were also impatient to wait. Seeing that the regular troops were unable to break through the Qinghe army's line for a long time, they were also anxious behind.

    However, they are Luo Jing's hole cards. They are responsible for chasing when they are victorious, and they are responsible for holding the formation when the situation is unfavorable. They cannot be easily used.

    Now the 5,000 soldiers of the Skeleton Battalion, who were full of murderous looks, have received military orders, and they strode towards the battlefield in great strides.

    The center of the battlefield was still fighting bloody battles, and the soldiers of the Skeleton Battalion were full of fighting spirit, and did not take the Qinghe Army seriously.

    These soldiers of the Skeleton Battalion are well-equipped, and they are now an elite force, paid well, and think highly of themselves.

    They carried individual round shields and heavy sabers in one hand, and with an indomitable momentum, they made a mistake and turned a few Southern Army soldiers on their backs.

    "Damn it!"

    An officer of the Southern Army was shouting and urging his troops to charge upwards.

    He was suddenly knocked over by the people behind him, and couldn't help but yell at him.

    "Puff!"

    A soldier of the Skeleton Battalion who passed by him raised his knife and dropped the head of the Confederate officer.

    The soldiers of the Skeleton Battalion stomped past the Confederate officer and poured into the battlefield.

    Seeing the soldiers of the Skeleton Battalion enter the battlefield, the hard-fought Southern Army couldn't help cheering loudly, and their morale was greatly boosted.

    The Southern Army, which was attacking the Qinghe Army, separated to both sides like a wave, making way for the Skeleton Battalion to reach the front.

    The soldiers of the Skeleton Battalion stepped on blood and corpses, and soon reached the frontier of the most intense battle.

    Seeing the black soldiers wearing skull masks striding forward, Dong Hao, the trainee banner battalion commander who was fighting, also shivered. After forcing a Southern Army soldier back, he subconsciously moved closer to his comrades who formed a formation behind.

    "Stand firm!"

    The troops led by Tian Changjie, head of the 20th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army, have taken over from the 12th Banner Regiment, which had resisted for a whole morning, and are on the front line.

    see that??The soldiers of the Skeleton Battalion came up, and their faces were also dignified. Amid his roar, the soldiers who broke out of the queue all retreated one after another, forming a strict front.

    "kill!"

    Looking at the blood-stained Qinghe Army, a member of the Skeleton Battalion let out a low growl in his throat, and pressed his sword forward.

    Five thousand elite skeleton soldiers rushed towards the 20th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army like a flood out of the gate.

    "ha!"

    Seeing these ferocious-looking soldiers of the Skeleton Battalion, the densely packed sharp spears stabbed out.

    "Puff puff! Puff puff!"

    The sound of sharp knives piercing flesh suddenly rang out, and the soldiers of the Skeleton Battalion rushing to the front line were stabbed in half.

    However, before the Qinghe Army brothers took back their spears, the soldiers of the Skeleton Battalion, who were still breathing, had already smashed the shields and swords in their hands towards the Qinghe Army brothers who were close at hand.

    The heavy shield brought a strong wind and knocked over many Qinghe Army brothers who were caught off guard. Many battles even ruthlessly plunged into the bodies of Qinghe Army brothers, and they fell on their backs.

    The soldiers on the front line of the Qinghe Army suddenly became a little restless, and many brothers were injured and fell to the ground.

    But before they got up, the soldiers of the second row of skeleton battalion with sabers had rushed forward.

    "Puff!"

    "ah!"

    The soldiers of the Skeleton Battalion raised their knives and fell, and those Qinghe soldiers who were injured by shields and swords fell to the ground.

    The Qinghe Saber and Shield soldiers in the back row also quickly stepped forward, colliding with the soldiers of the Skeleton Battalion who rushed forward.

    Amidst the clanging and dull impact, the brothers of the Qinghe army were knocked to one side by the brutal force, and then the sharp sabers fell down.

    The soldiers of the Skeleton Battalion were extremely brave. They jumped into the ranks of the Qinghe Army with swords and shields in their hands, and broke down the front lines of the Qinghe Army in the blink of an eye.

    A considerable part of the 20th Banner Regiment was reorganized by security soldiers from the Public Security Department. They didn't expect the other party to be so tyrannical, and they suffered a big loss immediately.

    "Steady!"

    "Steady!"

    The voices of the officers sounded one after another, but row after row of fronts were smashed to pieces, the momentum of the skeleton battalion was fierce, Dong Hao's banner battalion fell apart in the blink of an eye.

    The red-eyed Dong Hao slashed a soldier of the Skeleton Battalion with a knife, and immediately three sharp knives greeted him.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, he had to retreat hastily. Looking left and right, he saw fierce soldiers from the Skeleton Battalion and blood mist filling the air. His brothers fell in pieces, with heavy casualties.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
