Chapter 2448 Seven-Star Flying Bear Formation
Chapter 2445: Seven-Star Flying Bear Formation
The Bukit Ministry is facing a desperate situation, which cannot be resolved by itself alone, and external forces must be intervened.
But Baling is still far away. Once the Qin army really chases us, even if Li leads his army to support him, it will not be able to relieve his near thirst.
In order to avoid this situation, Jiang Shang could only buy time as much as possible. He ordered a captain to lead 500 soldiers to pretend to be the main army and retreat in the direction of Chang''an as bait.
He himself and Wu Ji led the remaining troops to stop, eliminated the traces of marching as much as possible, and retreated in the direction of Baling.
In order to avoid revealing flaws, the Qin army chased discovered that Jiang Shang even personally guided the army to eliminate traces and left them for inspection to ensure that it was not easy to be seen before following them with the dragon beard and tiger.
It is naturally impossible to completely erase the traces of thousands of armies.
However, Jiang Shang''s disguise method was very clever. Gongsun Xuanyuan did not see it, so he chased Chang''an, but found a flaw on the way.
Although the marching traces left by the Tang army were indeed traces of thousands of troops, the footprints left were too heavy and too deliberate.
An army that is eager to retreat is too late to save energy and marching, so how could it be so heavy?
Therefore, the Tang army he was chasing must be Wu Ji''s bait.
The main force of Bukit''s troops did not flee to Chang''an, but fled to other directions.
Although Gongsun Xuanyuan saw through Wu Ji''s tricks, he still did not let go of the bait in front of him, because he was not far away. If he let go and did not catch up with Wu Ji, wouldn''t he have a waste of time?
And Gongsun Xuanyuan also wanted to test the attitude of the Tang army in Chang''an City and to see if the defenders in Chang''an City would save this bait.
The thousand iron cavalry led by Gongsun Xuanyuan have already entered the territory of Jingzhao Yin alone, and Li Shimin from Chang''an cannot receive the news.
If Chang''an sends troops to rescue this bait, then Xuanyuan will directly withdraw his troops after swallowing the bait and will not continue to chase Wu Ji.
If he did not save him, then Xuanyuan would continue to pursue Wuji after he swallowed the bait until he completely swallowed the troops of the battalion.
The final result was that the 1,000 Iron Cavalry of Gongsun Xuanyuan''s troops defeated the five hundred Tang troops who were bait as bait with just one round of charge, and then easily destroyed them, but there was no movement in Chang''an.
Gongsun Xuanyuan saw that Chang''an had not sent troops to rescue him, so he basically knew it. He decisively changed direction and went to continue pursuing Bukit, but it was difficult to pursue him in which direction. After all, he didn''t know where the troops were divided from.
After some thought, Gongsun Xuanyuan judged that Wu Ji was most likely to escape to Baling.
Li Mu killed the county magistrate and the commander who were preparing to surrender, seized Baling City, and resisted the Qin army independently of Chang''an, which also made him famous among the Qin army.
If Wu Ji did not escape to Chang''an, he would have to escape to Baling in one direction, after all, all other directions were dead.
As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xuanyuan did not hesitate at all. He took a thousand iron cavalry and chased Baling at full speed. He judged that with the speed of the infantry, even if he chased him now, he should still be able to catch up.
I have to say that Gongsun Xuanyuan is worthy of being the top commander, and his judgment ability is so accurate. He guessed everything correctly, but he guessed the opponent he was facing this time wrong.
Gongsun Xuanyuan thought that his opponent this time was Wu Ji, but he didn''t know that his opponent this time was Jiang Shang, the founder of the military genius, and Li Mu, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period. No matter who these two people are, even if they are placed in the whole history, they are the top presence.
Gongsun Xuanyuan can play against them at the same time, and I don’t know if he should be lucky or not.
Jiang Shang did not want to fight with the pursued Qin army, because regardless of the outcome, it would definitely weaken the combat power of the Bukit army, and his purpose was to bring this army into Baling to enhance the strength of Li Mu''s troops.
As he was about to arrive at Baling, Jiang Shang thought the Qin army could not catch up, but he didn''t expect that he would still be caught up, and the peerless general Gongsun Xuanyuan came.
There are talented people in the country and have been leading the way for hundreds of years.
Even Jiang Shang has to admit that there are too many talents in today''s era.
First there was Gongsun Yan, and then there was Gongsun Xuanyuan. No matter which one, he had to deal with it seriously, otherwise there would be a risk of failure.
Gongsun Xuanyuan''s thousand iron cavalry have already caught up, but Li Mu''s army is still unknown, and Wu Ji''s troops have nowhere to escape and have no danger to defend.
Even if Jiang Shang is the founder of the military strategist, he has no choice but to command the army to set up a large formation and let the soldiers form a formation to fight against each other, and drag it until Li Mu arrives as much as possible.
If other Qin generals were the ones, they would not recognize the formation set up by Jiang Shang. However, Gongsun Xuanyuan is the head of the Gongsun family, and the Gongsun family has been passed down for a long time, and this formation is recorded in the classics of this clan.
After some thought, Gongsun Xuanyuan finally recognized the formation of Jiang Shang''s troops. It was an extremely old ancient formation. Because its layout and position were in conjunction with the Big Dipper, it was named the Seven-Star Flying Bear Formation.
It is said that this formation existed before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and its existence was no longer verified. After hundreds of years of evolution, it has become almost perfect.
But the requirements for the commander''s command ability in this formation are too high. Even if a mediocre person comprehended it for a lifetime, it will gradually be lost.
It was not until more than twenty years ago that the Xianbei army went south to build Caogu that this formation appeared in the hands of Jiang Shang, one of the northern and southern war gods of the Han Dynasty.
With this formation, Jiang Shang defeated 15,000 Xianbei cavalry head-on with 50,000 infantrymen, and became famous in one battle, rising to the top and becoming the General of the Cavalry.
Success is the formation, failure is the formation.
Later, Jiang Shang was imprisoned for not wanting to hand over this formation. Emperor Huan of Han, Liu Zhi, even commented on him as narrow-minded and disregarding national interests, which directly ruined Jiang Shang''s reputation and completely died of society. It was not until Liu Hong succeeded to the throne that he was Ping''an for Jiang Shang.
In fact, Jiang Shang not only handed over the Seven-Star Flying Bear Formation, but also personally guided Liu Zhi’s three most trusted generals, namely Duan Bing, Zhang Huan, and Huangfu Gui.
Duan Yi''s name is Ji Ming, Zhang Huan''s name is Ranming, and Huangfu Gui''s name is Weiming. These three people are generals of the same generation as Jiang Shangwenzhong, but they are all suppressed by their dazzling achievements.
It was not until Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong were forced out of the court one after another that the names of the three began to gradually become louder. Because the characters "Ming" are all in the surface, they are collectively called "Liangzhou Sanming".
