Just when the Qin army was holding on, the Cao army also quickly pressed up, although the number was far less than the Qin army, but in terms of momentum alone, it did not lose a cent.

The reason is that although Xiahoudun is almost old, he can still take the lead in wearing heavy armor and holding a horse lance, and that kind of evil spirit is definitely not comparable to ordinary generals.

The Qin army also admired Xiahoudun for his ease of restricting his own breath, but now after all, it was in front of the two armies, and Qin Zheng had to stabilize the defense line if he wanted to hold on to the reinforcements.

The Iron Eagle swordsmen in the first row are samurai in the palace, and like the martial knights, they are the sons of the landlords and nobles, and their skills, physique, courage, and sense of honor are very good, the only problem is that the number is too small and the stamina is insufficient.

Therefore, even though there was already a simple trench and a horse pit, Qin Zheng still felt that he was not sure to resist the repeated onslaught of the tiger and leopard riders.

Moreover, when Cao Jun approached Qin Zheng, he found that they not only had heavily armored tiger and leopard cavalry, but also a lot of lightly armed archers, even if they were limited by horse pedaling skills and could not shoot while moving, a simple static shot to harass the flanks was enough for the Qin army.

And Xiahoudun not only has courage, his head is also very bright, he saw that it was difficult for the merchant army to quickly organize a large number of troops, so he simply gave the prince the idea to let the merchants drive out the slaves and low-level infantry as cannon fodder.

This was not an unacceptable choice for the Shang prince, who was both a monarch and a priest and a slave owner, especially because he was afraid that the Shang army would perform too poorly and it would be difficult to negotiate terms with Cao Jun even after the victory.

Therefore, under the order of the prince of Zhou, Ying Evil had no choice but to lead the fastest group of people to join the Cao army first, and then reluctantly rushed to the front line.

When Zhao Gao saw that the merchant wanted to use his flesh and blood to consume the physical strength of the Qin army and create an opportunity for the tiger and leopard to ride, he couldn't help frowning and said to Qin Zheng:

"Your Majesty, we must not let the merchant's plan succeed, the Iron Eagle Swordsmen are small in number and their physical strength is precious, and it is the only feasible plan for our army to deal with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and we must not lose it!"

Qin Zheng also nodded in approval, and then sent the Tong Ge troops behind the chariot array to move forward, preparing to cooperate with the Iron Eagle Swordsmen to exterminate the merchants at a certain distance.

However, in this way, the car formation without the defense of long-handled weapons will become an ornament, and if the first row is defeated, the Qin army will have no more effective way to defend, so it can only retreat in advance.

In fact, at this time, if the Qin army can let the chariot dispatch, it will have absolute and good lethality, but in the face of the superior cavalry chariot on the opposite side, it can only come and go.

The trade of exchanging chariots for cannon fodder is not cost-effective, so Qin Zheng and the others have no plans for the time being, but if the situation does not improve, the chariot that cannot be made into a fence is still the life of an abandoned child......

By this time, the merchant cannon fodder troops had reached the front of the trench, and this shallow unfinished trench might be of average effect against heavy cavalry, but it was very easy to deal with these light infantry.

But the merchants were brave but not fools, and they stopped their pace in the face of the iron-eagle swordsmen and the long spears sticking out from behind them.

In the final analysis, the merchant army is just a classical citizen soldier, and it is okay to fight for the lord, but I am afraid that it will have to be weighed and weighed to death, so there is the current scene.

And their commander is Ying Evillai, the prince of Xuan did not come forward, Evil did not like Cao Jun in the first place, and now he wants him to bring people as cannon fodder, he has long been angry, and the soldiers stopped but followed his wishes, so Ying Evillai did not intend to let people continue to charge at all.

Xiahoudun saw the meaning of evil at a glance, but he knew that after all, he had few people, and he was on the territory of a merchant, so if he turned his face now, he was afraid that there would be more accidents.

Therefore, Xiahoudun chose to endure it for the time being, and instead sent his light cavalry to attack the Qin army on both flanks, disrupting the formation of the Qin army with their superb riding skills.

The Qin army had to focus on the frontal battlefield, and could not draw suitable troops to resist for a while, so they could only shoot passively, and use bows and crossbows to fight back during the interval, and the casualties on both sides were not large due to the range of the fire.

At this time, Xiahoudun felt that he could not consume any longer, and no matter how far Jia Xu and them went, he decided that he must severely defeat the Qin army as soon as possible.

So he hurriedly asked someone to send a message to Ying Evil, asking him to retreat with cannon fodder, while Cao Jun's heavily armed tiger and leopard cavalry began to enter the preparation formation.

Ying Evil was naturally happy to accept this order, and directly withdrew from the right side with the merchant army, and went to find Prince Su to meet up.

In front of the tiger and leopard riders in such an acceleration stage, it has once again become an iron wall of the Qin army, and it seems that their two armies are destined to have a "close contact".

Xiahoudun also stepped forward, just in time to pass by Yingxi, but the two did not communicate, but Xiahoudun caught the corner of his eye. A trace of contempt that can be traced in detail. In his eyes, if the previous merchant army was only technologically backward, it was useless now.

Ying Evil, who felt a little hostile, frowned and didn't say much, but in his heart he stood more firmly on the opposite side of Liancao's resistance to Qin.

And after Xiahoudun personally took the lead on the battlefield, the morale was even higher, and the reloaded tiger and leopard cavalry was finally enough to "wander" and could charge!

I saw Xiahoudun waving his arms and shouting: "Rush!" Rescue Your Majesty! Catch the thief and reward a thousand taels of silver! ”

After speaking, he took the lead towards the position of the Qin army, and behind him was the tank-like heavy tiger and leopard cavalry, and the entire Cao army was like a big hammer at this time, and it was bound to smash on the Qin army!

"Crash - Click"

"Ahh

The tiger and leopard cavalry was worthy of being the first heavy cavalry at that time, and under the short-term accelerated impact, the Qin army's defensive net was also taken down with one blow.

But those tiger and leopard riders had no intention of fighting, and they temporarily chiseled through the defense line of the Qin army, and directly turned their horses' heads and retreated, while the rest of Cao's army hurriedly attacked the gap.

While saving the Qin people who were attacked and educated by the heavy cavalry for the first time, the Qin army had to hurry up to restore the formation before they could keep the defensive line.

But how could Xiahoudun let such a result dissipate, so he immediately stepped forward and specially picked those stunned Qin soldiers to kill, and for a while, many Qin troops were killed before they could react.

Xiahoudun's behavior really frightened many Qin troops who were about to rebuild their defense lines, and they felt that they couldn't afford to provoke and couldn't hide? They all stayed away from Xiahoudun, an old man who was "in his last years".

Xiahoudun saw it but still didn't want to let go, only to see him slashing and killing and shooting arrows on the horse, and for a while he repelled many Qin troops and defended the gap well.

At this time, even Qin Zheng, who commanded in the army of Great Qin, saw Xiahoudun's brilliant performance, and knew what the real "no man's land" was.

Xiahoudun immediately joked at the gap: "Hahaha, even I can't beat an old blind man, you surrender as soon as possible!" ”
