Chapter 2141 Long Qie fights against Jin Wushu (Part 1)

Chapter 2139: Long Qie fights against Jin Wushu (Part 1)

On the side of the Qing army, Jin Wushu was commanding the army to build a formation. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Your Majesty chose the right time this time.

Nurhachi let Jin Wushu lead the army and cut off the Qin cavalry's retreat. It must be said that it is still very good.

  If the connection between the two Qin armies is cut off, it must be re-opened, otherwise it will be easy to be defeated one by one.

If the Qin cavalry in the front divides their forces and attacks the Qing army in the rear, the strength of the Qin cavalry will be weakened. This is something Nurhachi wants to see.

Although there are more Qing troops in the eight formations at the rear, they are restricted by the formation and cannot move easily. Even dismantling the formation will take time, and they will not be able to threaten Jin Wushu in the short term.

So, in Jin Wushu's view, his cavalry was a stroke of genius from Nurhachi. If the strength gap between Qin and Qing had not been too huge, they might have been able to turn defeat into victory.

“Presumably Qin will fight back when he mounts his horse.” Jin Wushu whispered to himself.

Dismantling the formation is risky, not to mention that it is such a complex formation as the Eight Formation Diagram. It will be even more dangerous if the formation is messed up.

Therefore, neither Jin Wushu nor Nurhachi believed that the Qin army would abandon the eight formations and attack, but believed that the cavalry would be more likely to divide their troops and fight back.

There are only 70,000 Qin cavalry in the attack, and there is a mix of new recruits and veterans. Their overall quality is not as good as that of the Eight Banners. If the troops are divided, the combat power will be further weakened, and the Eight Banners Army will naturally be more certain of victory.

At this thought, Jin Wushu couldn't help but show a hint of admiration on his face, and he had to admit in his heart that Nurhachi was indeed better than his father.

Both Jin Wushu and Nurhachi were confident that the 170,000 Qin troops in the Eight Formations would not move, but the 70,000 Qin cavalry who attacked would divide their forces to fight back. However, the development of the situation this time far exceeded their expectations. .

Seeing that Qin Qi continued to chase away without showing any signs of dividing his troops, Jin Wushu couldn't help but frown.

“Strange, Huo Qubing didn’t divide his forces to fight back? Isn’t he afraid of being attacked from both front and rear?”

In response to this, not only Jin Wushu, but also Wanyan Honglie looked puzzled and didn't understand why Huo Qubing didn't respond.

You should know that although Huo Qubing, the commander of the Qin army’s cavalry, was young, he had already led his cavalry to conquer most of the grasslands.

Jin Wushu also fought against Huo Qubing, but was crushed in the field of cavalry where he was best.

It’s impossible for such famous generals not to understand such simple principles, right?

“Huo Qubing, what are you thinking about?”

Jin Wushu frowned and muttered to himself, but the next moment his expression changed drastically, because the Qin army on the other side of the Eight Formation Diagram moved and slowly came towards him.

“Zong Bi, look quickly, the Qin army’s formation has moved.”

Wanyan Honglie said with a shocked face, but his heart was full of uneasiness.

With such a complicated formation as the Eight Formations, the risk of moving is huge. It is impossible for Qin Hao not to know that, but he still dared to move during the decisive battle. What does this mean?

Wanyan Honglie did not think that this was Qin Hao's impulsiveness. The only possibility was that Qin Hao was really sure that the eight formations could move without causing chaos.

 But is this kind of thing really possible with human power? After all, this is an eight-formation diagram at the level of 170,000.

Jin Wushu and Wanyan Honglie didn't say much, but stared at the eight formations with concentration, and both shouted in their hearts: chaos, chaos, chaos, chaos.

 But what disappointed the two of them was that there was no chaos in the Eight Formation Diagram, and the speed of advancement was getting faster and faster.

"Ruined."

Jin Wushu and Wanyan Honglie looked at each other, and both saw horror and despair in each other's eyes.

The Qin army actually did something that went against common sense, even moving the formation. With eight formations at the level of 170,000, and the ability to run, the Qing army really had no hope at all.

 “We can’t just sit back and wait for death like this.”

Jin Wushu gritted his teeth, looked at the Qin army pressing down like a mountain, and shouted: "Send the order, the whole army shrinks, and forms a black dragon formation for defense."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.

 After Jin Wushu's order was conveyed, the originally dispersed formation of 35,000 Qing troops began to shrink, apparently fearing the Qin army's offensive.

It is normal for Jin Wushu to be afraid. After all, the Qin army directly opposite has 170,000 troops, and they are still in the formation state of eight formations, and he only has 35,000 troops in hand. If he does not form a formation for defense, If so, if the Qin army charges, there will probably be no one on his side.

 Bai Qi was not surprised at all by Jin Wushu's reaction, and looked at Zhuge Liang on the side inquiringly.

After Zhuge Liang understood, he did not understand the response, but wiped the thin man's forehead. Obviously, calculating the operation of the eight-array diagram was not an easy task for him.

After Zhuge Liang pinched his fingers and calculated some more, he replied: "You can use an eight-sided ambush formation. Let Gen's Chuyun Formation and Qian Qinglong Formation slow down their advance, while Qian's Heavenly Formation, Kun's Earth Formation, and Zuo Qinglong's Formation, White Tiger Formation on the right, these four formations are speeding up the march."

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang pointed at the map with his feather fan, drew two arcs, and said: "In this way, the ambush from all sides is complete, and the 35,000 soldiers of the Jin Wushu Department can be wiped out with a snap of their fingers."

Bai Qi frowned and asked, "In this case, the changes in the Eighth Formation Diagram will be huge. Can you, the military advisor, do it alone?"

It's not that Bai Qi doubts Zhuge Liang's ability, but with such an arrangement, the amount of calculation is indeed too huge, and it is twice as difficult to ensure that the eight formations are not chaotic.

 Zhuge Liang laughed and did not answer, but Zhang Liang and Liu Bowen came over.

“Grand Governor, have you forgotten that there are two of us?” Zhang Liang said with a smile.

“Grand Governor, just do it to your heart’s content. I and Mr. Zhang will assist Kong Ming to ensure that you won’t miscalculate any step.” Liu Bowen said calmly.

Bai Qi couldn't help but be startled, but he was also relieved. After all, the abilities of these two military advisors were not inferior to Zhuge Liang's.

“Send the order, the Izumo Formation and the Qinglong Formation of Gen are slowing down their advance...”

 Continuous orders were issued one by one by Bai Qi, and the eight formation diagram also changed greatly. The speed of the front part slowed down, and it gradually changed from an octagonal Bagua to a concave shape.

Jin Wushu's stunned Qin army was like a roc spreading its wings. The front was slowing down and frightening him, and he did not dare to move, but he was surrounded by two wings.

 “What should I do? What can I do?”

 “Quickly retreat, otherwise it will be too late.”

"How to withdraw? The Qin Army's three thousand cavalry are staring at them from the front. Isn't it just a matter of death to withdraw at this time?"

The arguments among his subordinates kept making Jin Wushu upset, but he couldn't admit that what they said was true. Now he was really at a loss to move forward or retreat.

Just when Jin Wushu was hesitating, the Qin army was about to complete the closing phase, and the three thousand Qin cavalry in the front also launched an attack, and the leading general was Long Qie.

 “Crush them, kill them.”

Long Qie waved his great halberd and led three thousand fine cavalry to charge, firing the first shot of the decisive battle between Qin and Qing Dynasty.
