After a while, the Qin army, which had reorganized the array, changed direction as Gao Yuan expected, and attacked from the direction of the Qi army's defensive line.

It turned out that Wang Zhang finally believed that among the armies of the Three Kingdoms, the combat effectiveness of the Qi army was the weakest, so attacking the defense line of the Qi army might be the easiest to open a gap, although the Han army and the Chu army could attack from both sides of the Qin army, but the Qin army had 15,000 men and horses, as long as 5,000 men and horses were set aside, it would be enough to deal with the Han and Chu armies. And if the Han and Chu armies leave their own defense lines and attack the Qin army, it is not necessarily a bad thing, if the two sides open a formation to fight, they can just give full play to the advantages of the cavalry.

The attack on the defense line of the Qi army was still based on the cavalry army, and the cavalry of the 3,000 Qin army urged the horses to rush towards the defense line of the Qi army, and then followed the Qin army of 5,000 dismounted to fight.

Although the attacking Qin army had reduced its strength, the Qi army used ordinary chariots to arrange the defensive line, lacking the long-range strike capability of the Han army, and at medium and long distances, it could only use bows and arrows to attack the Qin army's cavalry.

But first, there are not many archers in the Qi army, and the Qin cavalry can also use bows and arrows to fight back, so the damage to the Qin army is not great, and with the experience of an attack, the Qin army has also learned some lessons, and when the array of the attack is arranged, the distance between the columns has also been widened, and the probability of being tripped by the fallen people and horses in the front row has been reduced. In a short time, the Qin army rushed to the front of the Qi army's defense line, and its own casualties were less than 100 people, and it also caused dozens of casualties among the Qi army.

Although the Qi army still used the traditional four-horse chariot, it was not a war horse that could jump over, so after approaching the Qi army's defense line, the Qin army's cavalry either stopped or crashed into the chariot. The Qi soldiers stationed behind the chariot waved their spears one after another, stabbing at the Qin army regardless of men and horses, causing a large number of casualties to the Qin army.

Although a small number of Qin cavalry desperately crashed into the chariot and opened a gap for the companions behind, there were not many gaps, and they were immediately blocked by the shield players in the Qi army, even if a small number of Qin cavalry rushed into the array, but the number was too small, and it was difficult to scream, and they were quickly killed by the Qi army. On the whole, the cavalry of the Qin army was blocked by chariots, and it was difficult to advance further.

However, compared with the last attack, the effect this time was obviously much better, at least the Qin army rushed to the front of the Qi army's defense line very lightly, and a small number of Qin troops entered the Qi army's defense line, and then the Qin army's infantry army also killed the battlefield and entered the battle.

Faced with this kind of chariot-based defensive line, the infantry was obviously much more effective than the cavalry, and they climbed into the chariots, smashed into the array of the Qi army, and engaged the Qi soldiers in a melee. And at this time, the Qin soldiers' personal courage and good fighting Su zhì were also able to give full play, and the number was also larger, so the Qi army was not an opponent at all, and could only fight and retreat, some soldiers had retreated to the edge of the altar, and some had retreated to the first floor of the altar, relying on the condescending advantage, so as to resist the attack of the Qin army.

And Wang Zhang breathed a sigh of relief at this time, this time it was finally good, sure enough, it was still soft persimmons that were easy to pinch, the Qi army was indeed much easier to fight than the Han army, he looked left and right again, the armies of Han and Chu did not seem to move, which also made Wang Zhang feel a little strange, is there any other trickery on the plateau?

In fact, at this time, on the highest layer of the altar, the monarchs and ministers of Qi and Chu became nervous again, just now the Han army blocked the attack of the Qin army, so that the monarchs and ministers of Qi and Chu had a feeling that the strength of the Qin army was nothing more than this, and the defense line of the Qi army was under the impact of the Qin army, and it didn't take long for it to be completely defeated, only to know that the battle just now was not that the combat effectiveness of the Qin army was not strong, but that the Han army was stronger, and the armies of Qi and Chu were not at the same level at all.

At this time, the battle almost took place under the noses of everyone, the sword light and arrow shadows, blood splashes, stumps and broken arms, all of them were clearly presented in front of everyone's eyes, and from time to time there were several feathered arrows flying up the third layer of the altar, although they were blocked by the archers on the edge of the altar, but it was enough to frighten people's hearts.

Qi Wangjian said in a trembling voice: "King Han, what now?" The Qin army is about to be killed, so let's flee quickly. ”

Gao Yuan smiled faintly and said, "King Qi, don't worry, the Qin army can't attack the high platform. "Gao Yuan is a person who has been in battle for a long time, of course, it can be seen that although the Qi army has retreated to the first floor of the altar, it does not mean that the Qi army has been defeated, because this Qi army is trained by the instructors of the Han army, in fact, the basic life zhì is not bad, but it lacks actual combat experience, and occupies a geographical advantage on the high platform, so it can at least resist for a while.

But Qi Wangjian didn't understand these truths, he only saw that the Qin army had been killed under his nose, as if he would kill Gao He at any time, and the flesh and blood were flying, and his face was hideous, Qi Wangjian had lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he had seen such a scene there, so he didn't believe in the words of the plateau at all.

However, Qi Wangjian also knew that he couldn't move the plateau, so he had to turn to Tian Kezang and said, "An Pingjun, what do you think?" I still thought in my heart that as long as Tian Kezhang also felt uneasy, he would immediately escape from the high platform and hide away from this dangerous place first.

Tian Kezang looked at the battle that took place under the high platform, gritted his teeth, and said: "The king, the minister thinks that the king of Han must have a strategy to break the enemy, please don't worry, watch the battle with peace of mind." In fact, Tian Kezang's heart was also very nervous at this time, but he still had full trust in Gao Yuan, and he also knew that he couldn't escape far from the high platform, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on at this time.

When Qi Wangjian heard this, he almost cried, and then turned his head to the king of Chu and said, "King Chu, look ......"

The courage of the king of Chu is much stronger than that of Qi Wangjian, so although he is nervous, he is quite calm on the surface, after listening to Qi Wangjian's words, the king of Chu is responsible for this and said: "King Han, now that the Qin army has come to the stage, relying only on the Qi army, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist for a long time, the Han army has just fought a battle with the Qin army, and the troops of our Chu State have not yet been dispatched, do you want to transfer some Chu troops to assist in defense, or order the Chu army to attack the Qin army from the stage?" ”

Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "King Chu, although the Qin army has been killed under the stage now, I see that the Qi army can resist again, and there is no need for the Chu army to help fight for the time being, and you see that in the Qin army array, there is still a part of the army, just waiting for our Han and Chu armies to leave the defense line, and take advantage of the weakness, so we must not be fooled." ”

At this time, Xiang Dong said: "King, the words of the King of Han are very true, and the King of Han is proficient in the art of war, and he must have a strategy to break the enemy, please listen to the policy of the King of Han, and do not transfer the Chu army lightly." ”

The king of Chu nodded and was not talking, and the king of Qi saw that no one could make sense, although he was so anxious that he was sweating, but there was no way.

And just between everyone talking, the Qin army has launched several attacks on the high platform in a row, but the first layer of the altar is as high as two zhang and eight feet, a total of nearly six meters, and only a stone step about one zhang wide came to the stage, and the Qin army did not have a weapon to attack the fortification, except for the steps, it could only rely on the erection of people to attack upward, leaving the defense of the Qi army much easier, as long as the edge of the altar and the entrance of the steps, you can firmly resist the attack of the Qin army, so although the Qin army is brave and good at fighting, there are many people, but it is not easy to attack the high platform.

The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the Qin army suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, but it still failed to attack the first layer of the altar, and the monarchs and ministers of Qi and Chu who watched the battle at the top of the altar saw this, and gradually stabilized their feelings, and they were no longer so nervous.

And Wang Zhang was a little anxious at this time, seeing that he had already attacked the stage, and seeing that the victory was looking at it again, but he couldn't attack it, so that Wang Zhang was helpless, and he couldn't help but secretly regret it, he knew that this would happen, he should have brought a dozen wooden ladders, if there were more than a dozen wooden ladders now, I am afraid that he would have taken the high platform a long time ago.

However, Wang Zhang also knew that this was just thinking about himself, and it was impossible for him to bring a wooden ladder when he traveled more than 200 miles this time. But now that the situation is like this, how should I deal with it? Withdraw the Qin army and think of another way? Wang Zhang is reluctant to the current good situation, but if he does not withdraw his army, he will not be able to attack the altar, so he can only be frozen like this, of course, the Qin army still has enough troops now, and he can attack again from the other side of the altar and avoid the battlefield, but can he succeed in other directions? Didn't the first attack of the Qin army hit the head in front of the Han army's defense line! It will also cause the Qin army's forces to be scattered, which seems to be not a good way, so Wang Zhang didn't know what to do for a while.

At this time, the plateau can also be seen on the altar that the Qin army has been unable to attack for a long time, and the morale has dropped greatly, and the estimated time is not far from the arrival of reinforcements, so it is also time for him to counterattack.

So Gao Yuan immediately ordered the five hundred cavalry troops hidden nearby to attack, from behind the Qin army, to attack the Qin army, and at the same time transferred one hundred beast soldiers from the second layer of the altar to the side of the Qi army's defense line, and at the same time ordered the Han and Chu armies to prepare to launch a counterattack against the Qin army.

When Wang Zhang was anxious, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that the dust was blowing, and a cavalry army rushed from behind the Qin army, but he couldn't see how many people there were for a while.

Wang Zhang couldn't help but be taken aback, although he knew that there were garrisons of the Three Kingdoms of Han and Chuqi nearby, but it was estimated that it would take at least three hours to send a letter from here and come to the rescue from the garrisons of the Three Kingdoms, and now there has been no more than an hour in the past, so where are the people and horses coming from?

However, since there were people and horses killed, naturally they couldn't ignore it, but fortunately, Wang Zhang had always kept a reserve of men and horses, so he immediately sent 3,000 cavalry to attack to meet the incoming army.
