Chapter 818: Coming to the World with the Star, Ambition to Be a Champion
Zhuge Liang didn't realize that Jiang Wan had the capital to compete with him on the same stage. At least in terms of strategy, it was impossible for the other party to surpass him.
He is a very well-behaved person, so well-behaved that if someone pleases the rules, it is quite disgusting in Zhuge Liang's eyes.
But no matter what, Jiang Wan's arrival at the front of the battlefield has become an established fact.
Zhuge Liang spent half a stick of incense calming down. When he turned around, he found that the opponent had defeated the encirclement formed by Huang Zhong and Huo Jun.
The point is not here yet. The point is that when Zhuge Liang came to his senses and wanted to order Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to reorganize a wave of attacks in order to cut off Cao's army's retreat and make the other side pay a heavy price no matter what, he was surprised.
Suddenly, they discovered that the other party had changed their formation again.
He is not afraid of the Bagua array.
It's ridiculous to say that Zhuge Liang was a farmer, but he studied the Five Classics and Six Armors all day long, including the Bagua.
And... as one of Pang Degong's disciples, if Zhuge Liang can't even understand the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes, Zhuge Liang will really have learned in vain.
But... apart from the initial discovery that the opponent was using the Bagua array to provoke, after Zhuge Liang observed carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that there were various differences between Cao Jun's formation and the Bagua array.
It was as if this formation was initially regarded as a square formation by everyone, leading Zhuge Liang to confront him with the crane-wing formation——
"Kong Ming, the situation is getting worse and worse. Why are the opponent's formations so changeable? Guan Yide and the others clearly do not want to fight with the enemy, but they just..."
Although it is hard to believe, Liu Bei's intuition is right now.
Being so unintentional by Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang calmed down, once again stared at the risk of possible failure, and observed carefully——
"No way? This...is it possible that something like this could happen?"
"This formation...I have read all the books about this formation but I have never found any real records. Even Mr. Pang De is not aware of this formation...Why can Jiang Wan..."
"Kong Ming? What did you find?"
Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little frightened as he saw Zhuge Liang's increasingly uncomfortable expression.
Zhuge Liang rarely loses his composure, but in the past two days, he has shown moodiness one after another. This alone is enough to make Liu Bei worried about Zhuge Liang's state.
Sure enough, suddenly... Zhuge Liang seemed to realize something. He stood up tremblingly, with a look of disbelief in his eyes and trembling lips, and slowly said to Liu Bei next to him:
"The Che Xuan Formation... is... the lost one - the Champion Hou's Che Xuan Formation!"
——
Just when Zhuge Liang was still struggling and trying to see the essence of Cao's army's formation, with Jiang Wan, Cao's army was already united and launched a final counterattack against Liu Bei's encirclement.
Under Xiahou Dun's brave performance and under the cover of Zhang He and Ma Chao, the army's retreat was finally opened.
The rear army led by Cao Zhen finally joined the main army.
After all this turbulence, Cao Jun's fighting spirit reached its peak.
Not only that - Jiang Wan's call made Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu and other generals, who were originally headless flies, work together and get into a ball - they unconditionally believed in the command of Jiang Wan, the "battlefield recruit". At this moment, they seemed to
Integrated into one, under Ruju's command, the military formation, which already had a rudimentary foundation, began to rotate slowly.
Che Xuan Formation - This is one of Jiang Wan's trump cards.
But just as Zhuge Liang showed, anyone with a little knowledge of the art of war can clearly understand how appalling the Che Xuan formation that Jiang Wan pulled out is.
——
The Chexuan Formation was often listed as one of the top ten formations in ancient warfare in later generations, and was often juxtaposed with the Fangyuan Formation... After all, the arrays between the two are mostly the same.
But the essential difference between the two is also obvious.
The Square Formation is about defense, while the Chexuan Formation is a complete offensive formation.
The first time Chexuan Formation shined in history was naturally when the champion Hou Huo Qubing conquered the Huns in the north. Relying on this formation and relying on the cavalry, he attacked the Huns three thousand miles north, across the desert, from Daijun to Ural, and from Gansu to
It is obviously unreasonable to say that this person relied entirely on the national power of the Han Dynasty to achieve this feat by fighting all the way to the desert of the Western Regions.
At least in terms of mounted combat, no one can question Huo Qubing's accomplishments.
The most regrettable thing among them, apart from Huo Qubing's untimely death, is that his cavalry war chariot formation also disappeared in the long river of history with his fall.
Later in the dynasties, many people followed in Huo Qubing's footsteps. The champion of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Le Shi Yanran and Dou Bodu, was one of them.
This famous general, who was at least as good as Huo Qubing in terms of merit, never found any trace of Che Xuanzhen throughout his life.
It is no wonder that Zhuge Liang, who is well versed in ancient and modern times and has read many books, was shocked when Jiang Wan used the Che Xuan Formation.
Or else this is Jiang Wan's trump card - maybe Yi Xiaotian didn't realize that Jiang Wan could have such accomplishments in the military when he sent Jiang Wan to Hanzhong.
Jiang Gongyan, who came into the world to report the stars, grew up in Hewan when he was young. He was as simple and unpretentious as a boy in the mountains. He was not as smart as Zhuge Liang. If Jiang Wan, a serious and arrogant person, did not have the opportunity, it might be difficult for others to notice that he had entered the world.
career, but a night conversation by a stream with an old man in the mountains eventually became the reason why Jiang Wan went to the world.
Nowadays, the mysterious old man has disappeared. Only this set of Che Xuan Zhi is the treasure that Jiang Wan cherishes throughout his life.
Now, it's his time to shine——
"General...General! Are we trying to retreat?"
At the same time as Jiang Wan's voice sounded, Hubaoqi, who was confused as he realized that he and his colleagues were about to retreat to the rear, raised doubts. However, Xiahou Dun's presence prevented them from neglecting anything.
"Just do what Gong Yan said! This is a military order!"
Although he had doubts in his heart, Xiahou Dun, who chose to believe Jiang Wan, would not show any resistance.
The same thing happened repeatedly in the army, but the same thing was suppressed by Zhang He, Xu Chu and others.
That's exactly what it is.
At this moment when Zhuge Liang was calling anxiously, wanting to rescue the army, the Chexuan Zhi formation finally revealed his most terrifying side.
The battle continued - instead of a desperate offensive formation, the cavalry on the periphery attacked continuously like wheels. This touch-and-go style of play maximized the speed and flexibility of the cavalry to the limit.
wheel?
No...it is no longer appropriate to use wheels to refer to this method of propulsion.
The cavalry of Cao's army, which looked like a giant machine with jagged blades, ruthlessly and easily harvested the lives of Liu Bei's soldiers.
All this fell into Zhuge Liang's eyes.
It was inevitable that something called despair would arise in his heart.
