Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Sima Shang's hesitation did not need to last long, because the encounter only lasted for a moment. As the Qin Army's forward heavy cavalry collided with the Zhao Army's infantry formation, it was like a metal giant that instantly knocked away the Zhao Army in front of the formation. , the spear does not even need to be waved, just holding it under the arm is enough to destroy all the enemies in front of it.

At this time, Zhao Jun's established cavalry and infantry coordination tactics had no time to take effect. Qin Jun's heavy cavalry had already torn a hole in Zhao Jun's infantry formation, causing a huge scar to suddenly appear on this vast battlefield. , in the charge of the Qin Army's heavy cavalry, any resistance was powerless. In just a moment, the Qin Army's heavy cavalry penetrated the Zhao Army's three-layer formation. As long as it was about to penetrate the Zhao Army's fifth When forming a large formation, Sima Shangcai completed the challenge and split the dense formation of soldiers to avoid the sharp edge of the Qin army's forward and middle cavalry, thereby reducing the Qin army's lethality.

However, at this time, the Zhao Army's infantry formation had been penetrated through four levels, and was directly divided into two by the Qin Army and killed through it. In the first battle, the Zhao Army's left army was completely defeated.

Moreover, the casualties in the first battle were not the most serious. What was more serious was that under the Qin army's almost invincible offensive, it destroyed not only lives, but also Zhao Jun's fighting spirit.

Moreover, after the Qin army's heavy cavalry, there was a swarm of light cavalry, rushing into the formation along the gap created by the forward heavy cavalry. Then a bigger gap followed, and the Zhao army's left army formation was no longer Return to the previous strictness.

What the inability to achieve a strict infantry formation means to Zhao Jun's left army, the answer is self-evident.

Fortunately, Sima Shang seemed to be able to hold his own, and actually controlled the side knight in his hand tightly. Before he figured out the real tactics of the Qin army, he could not release the side knight in his hand, because that was the last and final step. The only bargaining chip that can make a comeback must be used in crucial places.

When Zhao Jun's left army was in a bitter battle, Zhao Jun's central army gathered a large number of elite side cavalry troops, and under the command of Li Mu, they also launched an attack on the Qin army.

Between the intertwined battle formations are intertwined beasts of war. At this moment, can anyone completely control the battlefield?

No, at least Li Mu thinks it can't. At this moment, all Li Mu can do is to calmly observe every battle formation on the huge battlefield, and carefully distinguish which position has the advantage and which position is at a disadvantage. , and then mobilize the troops and horses that can be mobilized most effectively to either support the weak points to make the army undefeated, or to strengthen the superior military formations to help them exaggerate their advantages and achieve partial victory, and then continue to build on this partial victory. Expand your advantages.

The complexity is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. On a huge battlefield, how to judge one's own military strength keenly and timely, how to detect the enemy's weaknesses in the shortest possible time, how to deal with the situation in the middle of a big war, and how to be close to the enemy. Under impossible circumstances, the most effective way to mobilize troops and horses at a speed that surpasses the enemy, to attack their weaknesses, and to grasp the ever-changing fighter opportunities is a must-have for a general, but it is also the most difficult ability to possess.

Because the battlefield is a life-and-death relationship, it's not just about being strong. On the battlefield, there is only this simple rule. It doesn't matter whether one's side is strong or weak. You can only win by being stronger than the opponent.

Li Mu is known as the God of Military Formation. His commanding ability on the battlefield and his ability to grasp the ever-changing battle situation are naturally beyond doubt. However, this war is based on strong attack, and Li Muqiang could not have won it. victorious.

As time went by, as soldiers from Qin and Zhao fell into a pool of blood one after another, Li Mu discovered that the Qin army mobilized quickly and cooperated with each other even better than the Zhao army. The weakness lies in the number of troops and the strength of the individual soldiers, but the speed of mobilization and the coordination between military formations depend on the ability of the commanders on both sides.

"Is Yang Ming's ability to control battle formations better than mine?" Li Mu, who realized that Zhao Jun was at a disadvantage in every aspect, subconsciously thought that it was only Yang Ming's age and how many wars he had fought that made him unable to control the battle formations. Is his ability really so strong that it exceeds imagination?

Yang Ming's ability to control the battle formation is of course better than that of Li Mu. With Yang Ming's Grandmaster's strength, even if he does not lead troops into the formation, his role is beyond ordinary people's imagination, especially since Yang Ming himself is also proficient in the Emperor's Vision. Qi art, under the realm of Grand Master Yang Ming, the Emperor's Qi Technique he mastered can not only grasp the changes in a person's qi, predict the enemy ahead of others, but also detect subtle changes in military forces on a huge battlefield. , gain insight into the overall situation on the battlefield.

In terms of understanding the battlefield situation, in this world, even Li Mu, who has mastered the art of general formation to the pinnacle, cannot be compared with Yang Ming, because no matter how powerful Li Mu is, he is still a human being, but Yang Ming But it's different. He has transcended the human category.

On the battlefield, Li Mu can only grasp the basic general situation of the army. As for the more detailed things, they are beyond the observation of his eyes. But Yang Ming is different. Not only can he rely on his own experience to Li Mu was able to grasp the overall changes in the military situation of the two armies in a fierce battle, and he was also able to grasp the changes between specific military formations.

It can be said that in this battle, Li Mu grasped the changes in the military situation based on the soldiers and horses he had learned and the experience accumulated in the war, while Yang Ming directly opened a plan that can be called a comprehensive attack. From the perspective of heaven and earth, it is impossible for Li Mu to compete with Yang Ming at this point.

Li Mu had already lost to Yang Ming based on his specific grasp of the military formation's momentum.

And the two armies are fighting fiercely, especially a battle in which both sides have more than 100,000 troops. On such a huge battlefield, and commanding such a huge army, it is difficult for the general's dispatching ability to fully deploy the army's combat power. decisive factor.

If an army is a person, then the soldiers are the body and limbs, and the general is the head. Only when the head matches the body can the body's strength be exerted as much as possible and defeat the opponent in the confrontation between the two armies.

Generals, some people can be invincible when commanding ten thousand people, that is because their mobilization ability can fully utilize the combat power of these ten thousand people. The same general, if he is allowed to command one hundred thousand people, he will It may be that he will be defeated, because an army of 100,000 people has exceeded the limit of his dispatch ability. Although there are 100,000 people, it cannot effectively exert its combat power. Because of its light head and huge body, it is difficult to support him from left to right. The real power it can exert may not be as powerful as when it only commands 10,000 people.

If a general can unite the combat power of a hundred thousand troops and exert 60% of his strength, then he can be called a good general. If he can exert 70% of his strength, he can be called a veteran. If he can exert 70% of his strength, he can be called a veteran. Eighty percent, that is a truly famous general. If he can exert 90% of his power, he will be the god of military formations. He is a being who can be called a god in the way of military formations. And Li Mu is the one who can control an army of 100,000 people. Existence is achieved when the power is exerted.

As for exerting 100% of the power of an army of 100,000, that is no longer something that humans can do in this world. Only gods who are truly transcendent of this world can do it, and Yang Ming's own ability is enough to rival him. Li Mu, coupled with the ultimate power of this world and the existence of the Emperor's Qi-seeing Technique passed down from the era of gods and demons, he is a being who can rival the gods.

Although Li Mu was strong in the way of military formation, Yang Ming was stronger than him.

This advantage is getting bigger and bigger with the passage of time. The small disadvantages caused by the lack of command ability in each war will eventually come together and reach a certain critical point. Suddenly, it blooms and determines the success or failure of a war.

In the bloody battle between the Qin Army and the Zhao Army, Li Mu became more and more aware of the Qin Army's ever-expanding advantages in its absolute control of the battlefield. Realizing this, Li Mu cheered up. If Yang Ming was a real war If he is the God of God, then he will become a person who surpasses God. In this battle, he has no reason to fail. Behind him is the State of Zhao. If he loses this battle, there will no longer be the name of the State of Zhao in the world.

However, just when Li Mu was struggling to hold on, an ominous premonition suddenly spread in his heart. When he subconsciously looked at the distant left army formation, he could not see Zhao Zhao on the chaotic battlefield. The left army is in complete formation.

Can the Zuo Army not last even one morning? Or is it my fault in the arrangement? The Qin Army placed the most elite Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army among the Zuo Army? The vague defeat of the left army made Li Mu feel even more chilled, but the time did not leave him much time to think.

A group of cavalry came quickly from the Zuo Army. The leader came to Li Mu. As Li Mu felt increasingly ominous, the visitor whispered: "General, the Zuo Army and General Sima can't hold on for much longer. The Qin Army The heavy armored cavalry of the left army is so weird and powerful that we can't stop it at all. Ten of the 30,000 troops and 20 formations have been destroyed. General Sima ordered Mo to tell the general that this time The war can no longer continue."

Sima Shang? Hearing the visitor's story, Li Mu was not angry, because he knew that Sima Shang had tried his best, and Sima Shang was the most skilled general in the Zhao army besides himself. Even Sima Shang could not stop the Qin army's offensive. If it had been someone else, It's the same, but is it really going to be such a defeat?

Li Mu, who knew what it would bring to the battlefield of the Chinese army if the left army collapsed, was caught in a dilemma. Whether to stop losses in time or to fight with all his strength was a choice Li Mu had to face.

Retreating only delays death. If you give it your all, there may still be a glimmer of hope. Especially in this war, Zhao State cannot fight a protracted war anyway, because Zhao State has another enemy besides the Qin army. , that is this year’s severe drought.
