Chapter 2862: Euphorbia Knights VS Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Kong Xuanzhi’s chaos begins
【Ding dong, the ‘Four Court Pillars’ are superimposed on ‘First Climb’, the Qin army’s total force +1;
Current: Bai Qi’s force increases to 100;
Yinghua’s force increased to 108;
Quyi’s force increased to 109;
Gaolan’s 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;
The Qin army has a group increase of 1 point, while the Cao army has 3 points. Although it is still at a disadvantage, the influence of 'Open Sky' continues to ferment.
【Ding dong, because 'Zhou' was defeated by 'Kaitian', the morale increase effect was invalidated, so the total force of the Wei army was -1 again;
Current: Yin’s force has dropped to 127;
Tantai Yu's force decreased to 124;
Xia Houyuan’s force dropped to 111;
Cao’s pure force dropped to 107;
Cao Xiu…]
Previously, the "Suppression of Zhou" was eliminated, and the strength of Cao's entire army was reduced, but only Yin Shou did not. That was because the increase brought by "Suppression of Zhou" was not added to Yin Shou himself.
But this time it is different. The ‘Suppressant’ was destroyed by ‘Open Heaven’, and all the group amplification effects were invalidated. The 1 point increase brought by the superimposed Suppressive and 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 general group increase, now has 1 point of group increase and 2 points of general group increase. The advantage is no longer as great as before.
Bai Qi naturally didn't know that Ying Hao gave him off-site 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.
But as the active attacker, he failed to attack his opponent, and instead suffered two rounds of arrows from the opponent. This naturally made Yin Shou feel aggrieved, but he did not expect that the more aggrieved person would be behind him.
Because Yin Shou responded promptly and avoided most of the Qin army's arrows, the two rounds of arrow rain attacks from the first camp only killed 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 command 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 held their special shields upright 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, Cao Jun's crossbows couldn't shoot at all because they were too far away, so they naturally didn't need shields for defense.
“Nail, nail, nail…”
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 Longmen, let alone break the formation.
When 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 own intelligence by 1 to 3 points depending on the level of trust and support.
Fan Li: Commander 85, Force 74 (+1), Intelligence 101 (+1), Politics 95 (+1), Charisma 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 Longmen Formation, and try our best to kill them, so as to achieve a point-breaking attack.”
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, by concentrating the best troops of the entire army and launching a surprise attack with a small group of elites, we can maximize our strengths and avoid weaknesses. If we can really achieve a point of destruction, it will not be too late for the larger army to press forward.
Cao Cao immediately ordered the recall of Yin Shou and the 3,000 archers 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 could not care less 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 force +1;
Cao Cao’s current commander 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 the basic command of 107, the gap between the two sides was once again shortened.
But Cao Cao only asked Yin Shou and others to go to battle instead of leading the army himself. Otherwise, Cao Cao's army could get another 1 point 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 whole 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 increase by +2, and the strength of all Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will increase by +1. When the number of troops is reduced by 50%, the strength of all Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will increase by +1;
Cao Chun: Commander 95 (+3), Force 100 (+5), Intelligence 83 (+1), Politics 74 (+2), Charm 82, Equipment +2; currently Cao Chun’s Commander has increased to 98, and Force has increased to 111 , and the strength of all Tiger and Leopard Cavalry members is +1;]
【Ding dong, Cao Chun’s skill ‘Tiger Leopard’ is superimposed on Cao Cao’s skill ‘Wei Wu’, and Cao Cao’s entire army’s strength is +1;
Current: Yin’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 ‘Hu Bao’ 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, Cao Jun's entire army's group increase 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, are already the elites among the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Their combat power is no weaker than that of the Qin army’s elites. Now they have gained another 4 points of group increase.
To put it bluntly, even among the powerful Qin army, Cao Wei's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were the most elite.
It is a pity that the number of tiger and leopard riders is still too small, only three thousand in total.
If there were ten thousand, no, even eight thousand, Bai Qi might be really in danger this time.
"Tiger and leopard riding, raising 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 a strong shield and a vest, even the powerful crossbows of the Qin army were 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 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, etc. 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.
Yin Shou and other generals 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.
Even though the Qin soldiers at the outermost edge of the Longmen Formation had three arms, swords, swords and shields working together, they had strong restraint on cavalry, but that was 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 impact 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, a super general with a base strength of 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 attacked by the Qin army's catapults and long-range crossbow formations. In this round of attacks, the casualties of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry exceeded the total of the previous two thousand people killed.
Yin Shou naturally did not sit still and waited 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 blocked by a group of heavy armored infantry holding a halberd and wearing heavy armor.
“Is this the Euphorbia?”
Tantaiyu couldn't help but mutter 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 Hubao 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's battle formation 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 was a complete failure.
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 the elite assault could not break the Longmen Formation, 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 ever heard of my name Kong Xuan?”
Hong Xuan has appeared and made a sound to announce his presence. Although his voice is not loud, everyone present can 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 he 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 appears on the battlefield, this is obviously extremely detrimental to himself.
Cao Cao suppressed the panic in his heart and quickly yelled: "Mr. Kong Xuan, are the Confucians going to blatantly violate the agreement of the hundreds of schools?"
