Chapter 2862: Euphorbia Knights VS Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Kong Xuanzhi’s chaos begins

[Ding dong, 'Four Court Pillars' are superimposed on 'First Climb', the Qin army's military force +1;

Current: Bai Qi’s force increases to 100;

Yinghua’s force increased to 108;

Qu Yi's force increased to 109;

High view of force increased to 102;

Han Meng...

...]

The Four Court Pillars brought real help to Bai Qi. It was not just that the strength of the four generals was +3, but that it increased the strength of the entire Qin army by 1 point. It also allowed the Qin army to move back a lot when facing Cao's army, which had an increase of 3 points in the entire army. Disadvantages;

Qin's army has a group increase of 1 point, while Cao's army has 3 points. Although it is still at a disadvantage, the influence of 'Open Sky' continues to ferment.

[Ding dong, because 'Zhou' was destroyed by 'Kaitian', the morale increase effect was invalidated, so the total force of the Wei army was -1 again;

Current: Yin Shou's force has dropped to 127;

Tantai Yu's force dropped to 124;

Xiahouyuan's force dropped to 111;

Cao's pure force dropped to 107;

Cao Xiu...]

Previously, when the 'tyranny' was eliminated, Cao's entire army was reduced in force, but only Yin Shou did not. That was because the increase brought by the 'tyranny' was not added to Yin Shou himself.

But this time it was different. 'Zhou Shu' was destroyed by 'Kaitian', and all group amplification effects were invalidated. The 1 point increase brought by Zhou Shu superimposed on Wei Wu naturally disappeared.

At this point, under Kaitian's suppression, Cao Jun, who originally had 3 points of group increase and 4 points of generals' group increase, now has 1 point of group increase and 2 points of generals' group increase. The advantage is no longer as great as before.

Bai Qi naturally didn't know that Ying Hao had given him off-field support. At this time, he was concentrating on commanding the Longmen formation and not giving Yin Shou any chance to take advantage of the loopholes.

Facing the long-distance projectiles from the first camp, the archers led by Yin Shou did not have enough shooting range, so they could only adopt a dispersed formation to reduce the hit rate.

However, as the active attacker, he failed to attack his opponent. Instead, he suffered two rounds of arrows from the opponent. This naturally made Yin Shou feel aggrieved, but he did not expect that he would be even more aggrieved later.

Because Yin Shou reacted in time and avoided most of the Qin army's arrows, the two rounds of arrow rain attacks from the first camp only took the lives of two to three hundred horse archers.

When the Qin army also entered the firing range of Cao's army, Yin Shou immediately ordered a counterattack and planned to use mounted archery to carry out guerrilla attacks. However, the Qin army's response greatly exceeded his expectations.

"Raise your shield."

Bai Qi shouted and waved the flag. The next moment, all the sword and shield soldiers in the outer formation raised their shields at the same time.

The outermost sword and shield soldiers of the Qin army needed to guard against the impact of cavalry and focused more on defense than attack. Therefore, the shields they held were special rectangular shields, which were larger than round shields in terms of weight and area.

As for the sword and shield soldiers in the middle, due to the need for close combat, they focus more on attack, so they hold relatively small but more convenient to use round shields.

Except for the soldiers in the first row who raised their special shields at 90 degrees, the soldiers behind them all raised their shields above their heads, forming a steel fortress in an instant, so that they could withstand direct fire or projectiles from the enemy.

As for the crossbow array and catapult array at the rear of the Qin army, because the distance was too far, Cao Jun's crossbows could not shoot at all, so they naturally did not need shields for defense.

"Nail, nail, nail..."

The thousands of arrows fired by Cao Jun were all blocked by Qin Jun's shields, causing almost no damage to Qin Jun. On the contrary, the crossbow array within Qin Jun's formation continued to shoot down Cao Jun's archers outside the formation.

If this trend continues, even if all the three thousand archers and cavalry led by Yin Shou are defeated, it will be impossible to shake Bai Qi's dragon gate, let alone break the formation.

After Cao Cao and Fan Li saw this scene in Cao Jun's main formation, they couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, they only sent out three thousand cavalry to test, otherwise the casualties would have been huge.

The Qin army's crossbowmen mastered the projectile and could attack Cao's army's archers. However, the cavalry fire of Cao's army's archers would be blocked by the Qin army's shield soldiers and could not cause effective damage to the Qin army. Casualties will increase.

"Military advisor, what should we do now?"

Cao Cao subconsciously asked Fan Li, but even Fan Li, who was full of strategies, was obviously troubled by the situation in front of him.

[Ding dong, Fan Li's skill 'Shang Sheng' is activated with effect 1. When he gets the trust and support of his own monarch, he can increase his intelligence by 1 to 3 points depending on the level of trust and support.

范蠡：统帅85，武力74（+1），智力101（+1），政治95（+1），魅力92（-1）；

Fan Li's current intelligence has increased to 104;]

"My lord, we can only concentrate our best troops and powerful generals, break into the outer perimeter of the Dragon Gate Formation, and try our best to kill them, so as to achieve a point-breaking attack."

After hearing Fan Li's words, Cao Cao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

This is indeed the last resort. After all, the Longmen Formation restrains the cavalry. If you enter the formation, you are seeking death. But even if you don't enter the formation, you will be attacked by the crossbow array once you get close.

Therefore, concentrating the elite troops of the entire army and launching a surprise attack with a small group of elites can maximize the strengths and avoid weaknesses. If we can really achieve a point of breaking through, it will not be too late for the army to press forward.

Cao Cao immediately ordered the recall of Yin Shou and the 3,000 archers and cavalry who were used for testing. When they returned, they counted and found that nearly 400 people had been killed or injured. In just a few rounds of shooting, more than one-tenth of the cavalry were lost. .

Cao Cao did not care about his heartache, and quickly ordered eight generals including Yin Shou, Tantai Yu, and Cao Chun to lead the elite of 300 tiger and leopard cavalry to launch another surprise attack on the Longmen Formation.

[Ding dong, Cao Chun's skill 'Tiger and Leopard' effect 3 is activated. When Cao Cao is present, it can increase Cao Cao's command by 1 point. If Cao Cao personally participates in the battle, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's strength will be +1;

The current commander-in-chief of Cao Cao has increased to 105;]

With the increase of Cao Chun's "Tiger Leopard", Cao Cao once again increased his command by 1 point, and his command reached 105. Although it was still not as good as Tu's basic command of 107, the gap between the two sides was once again shortened.

However, Cao Cao only asked Yin Shou and others to go to battle instead of leading the army himself. Otherwise, Cao Cao's army would have gained another 1 point of increase in the entire army.

[Ding dong, Cao Chun's skill 'Tiger and Leopard' effect 1 is activated. When leading the army in battle, the commander +1, the force +2, and the morale, combat power, and speed of the entire army are improved;

Effect 2 is activated. When leading the exclusive unit "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" to fight, the commander will gain +2, the force will +2, and the strength of all Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will +1. When the number of troops is reduced by 1%, the strength of all Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will increase by +;

曹纯：统帅95（+3），武力100（+5），智力83（+1），政治74（+2），魅力82，装备+2；

Currently, Cao Chun's commander has increased to 98, his force has increased to 111, and the force of all the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is +1;] [Ding dong, Cao Chun's skill 'Hubao' is superimposed on Cao Cao's skill 'Wei Wu', and the force of Cao's entire army is +1. ;

Current: Yin Shou's force has dropped to 128;

Tantai Yu's force increased to 125;

Xia Houyuan's force increased to 112;

Cao Chun’s force increased to 112;

Cao Xiu...

...]

As soon as the morale-boosting effect of 'Tiger and Leopard' came out, it replaced 'Zhou Shu' and 'Wei Wu' and was superimposed again, adding an extra point of increase in force to Cao Jun.

At this time, the group increase of Cao Jun's entire army reached 2 points, while the increase of all generals reached 3 points, and the group increase of Hubao Cavalry reached 4 points.

The three hundred Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, headed by Yin Shou, Tantai Yu, and Cao Chun, were already the elite among the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Their combat power was no weaker than the elites of the Qin Army. Now they received another 4 points of group increase.

To put it bluntly, even among the powerful Qin army, the Cao Wei Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were the most elite.

Unfortunately, the number of tiger and leopard riders is still too small, only three thousand in total.

If it were ten thousand, no, even eight thousand, Bai Qi might be really in danger this time.

"Tiger and Leopard Rider, raise your shield."

Following Cao Chun's order, all the tiger and leopard riders clung to their horses, raised their shields to protect themselves and their horses' heads, and charged against the Qin army's arrow rain.

With the strong shield and the vest, even the powerful crossbows of the Qin army returned in vain, and could not hurt the tiger and leopard cavalry at all.

In just a few dozen breaths, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had already rushed through the arrow net, and only a dozen people fell off their horses, and then directly hit the Qin army's shield array.

Although the Qin army's shield formation was strong, it could not block the impact of arrows headed by Yin Shou, Tantai Yu, Cao Chun and others. A large hole was torn open in the defense in an instant, and dozens of soldiers in the front row were all injured. He was knocked straight away and died tragically on the spot.

After forcibly breaking the shield formation, Yin Shou and other generals, as well as three hundred tiger and leopard cavalry, entered the formation and started killing at the outermost edge of the Longmen formation. As they entered the formation, the Qin army's crossbows also stopped attacking. After all, if you shoot again, you will hit one of your own.

The three hundred cavalry led by Yin Shou did not go deep and started killing wildly outside the formation, because even if they went even a little bit deeper, they might be restrained and strangled by the Dragon Gate Formation.

Generals such as Yin Shou are naturally not afraid, but the three hundred tiger and leopard cavalry are not immune. Without the cooperation of these three hundred cavalry, their killing efficiency will be greatly reduced.

Although the Qin soldiers at the outermost edge of the Longmen Formation are three arms of guns, swords and shields fighting together and have strong restraint on cavalry, they are limited to ordinary cavalry.

Facing the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which has been increased by 4 points of force, only the elite heavy infantry in the Qin army can fight against it. These ordinary infantry are naturally impossible to match, let alone the leader is Yin Shoutingtai. Yu and other fierce generals.

Under the attack of Yin Shou and three hundred tiger and leopard cavalry, one of the ten sides of Longmen Formation was in chaos and suffered casualties in the battle. Even the leader of the formation, Xiao Baoyin, died on the spot.

Xiao Baoyin was not very lucky. The side he was running happened to be targeted by Cao Jun, and after the defense was breached, he was targeted by Yin Shou. Although he was scared to death, for the sake of family honor, he still gritted his teeth and brought a group of soldiers with him. All the soldiers and two brothers fought against Yin Shou.

As descendants of the Xiao family in Hebei, Xiao Baoyin, Xiao Baoxuan and Xiao Baoyuan are actually not weak, but this time they encountered Yin Shou, the super general of Jiwu 106.

Even if the three brothers turned on the "Sibling Branch", they could not last three rounds under Yin Shou. In the end, all three brothers died under Yin Shou's sword.

After Yin Shou killed three generals in a row, he became more and more courageous as he fought. However, relying on the advantage of cavalry, they quickly killed nearly a thousand Qin soldiers, almost wiping out an entire area, just like tigers pouncing on prey. The casualties were minimal.

But just like that, they were immediately hit by the Qin Army's catapults and long-range strikes from the crossbow array. Under this round of strikes, the casualties of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry exceeded the total of the previous two thousand people killed.

Naturally, Yin Shou would not sit still and wait for death. He immediately prepared to fight in the next direction, but still did not go deep and only fought on the outside. However, he was stopped by a group of heavy armored infantry holding halberds and wearing heavy armor.

"Is this the Euphorbia?"

Tantaiyu couldn't help but muttered to himself. Before he could react, the rear was blocked by a Qin army's Mo Dao army.

As early as when the shield formation was broken, Bai Qi anticipated the consequences. The outer formation could not stop Yin Shou and other generals, so while stabilizing the formation, he mobilized the Euphorbia Soldiers and Modao Camp to attack the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

The Qin army had no strong generals and could only rely on the sheer numbers of soldiers. In order to surround and kill the three hundred tiger and leopard cavalry, Bai Qi did not hesitate to mobilize four thousand heavy infantry. With a strength gap of twenty to one, he was bound to overwhelm these two troops. More than a hundred tiger and leopard cavalry were left behind, and at the same time Yin Shou, Tantai Yu and other generals were trapped.

Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had a 4-point increase in force, under the attack of the Euphorbia Warriors and Mo Dao Army that were thirty times more than their own, even if Yin Shou and other fierce generals participated in the battle, they still inevitably fell into a hard battle. The number of casualties Keep increasing.

Of course, the number of casualties among the soldiers of the Qin Army was actually higher, and most of them died at the hands of generals such as Yin Shou. However, they blocked the offensive of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and prevented it from continuing to disrupt the Longmen Formation. Moreover, with the strength of the Qin Army, it was fully capable of Affordable.

Soon the two sides fought fiercely for nearly an hour, and generals such as Yin Shou and Tantai Yu killed through the Qin army's formation many times. However, under Bai Qi's command, the Qin army dispersed but did not collapse.

Although the Qin army's heavy infantry suffered heavy casualties, reaching nearly 500 people, there were only a dozen tiger and leopard cavalry left, and Fan Li's calculation of breaking the surface completely failed.

Yin Shou, Cao Chun's only 300 elite cavalry, defeated nearly 2,000 Qin troops, including 500 heavy infantry elites. Normally, Cao Cao would be very happy, but now he is not laughing at all. He couldn't come out because the Dragon Gate Formation wasn't chaotic at all, let alone the Arrancar.

Naturally, Cao Cao could have sent more troops to Yin Shou, but he did not do so. It was not because he felt sorry for the casualties, but because it was meaningless to continue fighting like this. If he had broken the formation, the implementation had already proved that elite troops could not break through the Longmen Formation in a surprise attack, and continuing to increase the number of troops was just a waste. It’s just time.

Cao Cao also saw that Bai Qi was stalling for time. He didn't know what Bai Qi had to do, but he knew that if he continued to stall, it would definitely be detrimental to him, so he decisively ordered to recall Yin Shou and other generals to prepare for another way to break the formation. .

But at this moment, Kong Xuan also arrived on the battlefield and single-handedly penetrated Cao Cao's position.

"Cao Cao, have you heard of my name Kong Xuan?"

Kong Xuan had appeared and made a sound to announce his presence. Although his voice was not loud, everyone present could hear it.

Bai Qi was naturally overjoyed when he heard this. He had been waiting for so long and had been passively beaten, and finally got the trump card of Kong Xuan.

After Cao Cao heard Kong Xuan's name, his face suddenly became extremely ugly. After all, although Kong Xuan was not on the list of powerful generals, his record of single-handedly challenging the generals of Qi State was quite impressive, so there were many People think that Kong Xuan's strength is no worse than that of Li Cunxiao, and he is also at the same level as Jiang Song, Yang Jian, and Niu Mowang.

Now that Kong Xuan suddenly appeared on the battlefield, this was obviously extremely detrimental to him.

Cao Cao suppressed the panic in his heart and quickly yelled: "Mr. Kong Xuan, are the Confucians going to blatantly violate the Hundred Schools Agreement?"
