By the time he reached the mountain ridge, the soldiers ahead had already charged onto the road and engaged the enemy in hand-to-hand combat. Without a second thought, he whipped out a heavy broadsword and charged down.
In close-quarters combat like this, a broadsword was far more effective than a bayonet. Qin Shuli was incredibly fast; although he was the last to start the charge, he was the first to reach the trucks. The Nationalist soldiers were baffled by his youthful, innocent face. In this day and age, a child carrying a heavy sword dared to charge into a transport convoy?
Before they could react, Qin Shuli gripped the sword with one hand, twisted his waist, and brought the blade around from behind, executing a powerful overhead strike. A Nationalist soldier instinctively raised his rifle to parry. *Snap!* The rifle was severed in two, and the blade continued its downward arc into the soldier’s neck. Qin Shuli wrenched the sword free, parried a bayonet thrust from another soldier, spun around, and cut another man down.
