Chapter 277 - Breaking Through the Formation with Strange Moves

(PS: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, friends!!!)

Suddenly, a circle of vehicles became the key to the success or failure of the Battle of Changping.

Within ten days, the grain and grass from Hanoi County had been safely transported to Guanglang City, and the grain and grass crisis of the Qin army was initially alleviated. Fan Ju tried his best in Xianyang, and the people cut down on food and clothing to raise follow-up food and grass for the army.

It can be said that Qin State has put all the luck of the country in this battle.

Because Zhao Jun had plenty of food and grass, he was determined to spend it with Qin Jun.

After setting up the Checheng circle and stabilizing the situation in the south, the ambitious Zhao Kuo has turned his attention to the Yingbao army stationed north of the Great Wall at Bailishi. Therefore, there are 170,000 troops stationed in the pass, plus the 50,000 defenders at Huguan, Zhao Kuo has the confidence to eat the 100,000 troops of Yingbao.

Long-term confrontation is also a huge burden for Zhao Guo. After hearing Zhao Kuo's plan, Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng, who was in charge of overseeing the army, did not object again.

Although they successfully defeated the external reinforcements and then took down the Wangling camp, the situation was still unfavorable to the Qin army. As Bai Qi said, in order to defeat the Zhao army, you must first destroy the round formation of Checheng.

However, such a peerless formation, with Gu Guan Yi as the backup, it is not easy to break it.

Wu Anjun Bai Qi stood on the watchtower of Langshan every day, staring intently at the formation set up by Zhao Jun. Often a look, is a whole day. Only waiting for the sunset to sink in the west before returning to the shogunate cave in silence.

So many days, still can't do it.

Seeing that Zhao Kuo had already sharpened his sword, and couldn't think of a way, he had to withdraw the Yingbao army; and once the Yingbao army retreated, it was tantamount to declaring that Zhao Kuo had succeeded in sticking to his strategy.

If this continues, the Qin State will no longer be able to support such a large army for a long time and over a long distance. The best result is that the Qin army returned to the court in despair and handed over Shangdang County to Zhao Guo. Bai Qiguang shudders when he thinks about the series of political consequences that have been triggered.

Giving up Shangdang County is not just cutting off Qin's eastward advance. More importantly, Qin and Zhao's power will change, and the territory of the princes of the world will be rewritten again.

Therefore, Qin can't afford to lose, Qin Jun can't afford to lose, and Bai Qi can't afford to lose!

The battle of Changping has advanced to the present, and several battles have been fought back and forth. The alien legions of the two camps of Qin and Zhao seem to be playing supporting roles, but they are faintly visible, but in fact they have been affecting the direction of the battle.

Comparing the two, the Zhao Guo faction headed by the Yanhuang League has become more impressive. The Qin camp headed by the Shanhai League basically followed the trend, and did not put forward any constructive opinions to Bai Qi, which in turn affected the direction of the battle.

Compared with the dazzling performance of the Shanhai League in the Battle of Zhuolu and the Battle of Muye, this battle is somewhat eclipsed.

It was precisely because of this realization that Ouyang Shuo frequently called the members of the Shanhai League to discuss how to crack the Checheng Circle Formation. It's a pity that even a military genius like Bai Qi is helpless, what can they do.

Ouyang Shuo knew very well that in order to decipher the Checheng circle, he must not follow the ancient thinking of war. Because in this regard, neither the player lords nor historical figures such as Jushou can surpass Bai Qi.

On this day, Ouyang Shuo took two personal guards to the tower of Light Wolf City. In his mind, only the Checheng circle is in his mind now, and he doesn't think about anything else, and he can't think about it.

In the morning light, a flock of wild geese flew across the sky, leaving behind a silhouette.

Ouyang Shuo was taken aback, a flash of light flashed through his mind. He tried his best to calm down his excited mood, closed his eyes slightly, connected the geese with the Checheng circle, and captured the fleeting aura.

Seeing Junhou like this, the personal guards knew that they could not be disturbed, so they immediately dispersed around and took charge of guarding, so as not to disturb Junhou's meditation.

The circular formation of the car city is interlocking and connected, supporting each other, leaving the enemy at a loss. Normally speaking, if you want to break this formation, you must either ignore it, and the formation will break without attack; or gather a large army, use force to overwhelm the people, and launch an all-out attack, so that the soldiers in the formation will be restrained everywhere, and naturally there will be no way to respond.

Neither of these two methods will work.

The former requires enough patience. The Zhao army in the big formation has a steady stream of food and grass provided by the old fortress, and its battery life is amazing. Before the opponent is exhausted, the Qin army is finished.

The latter requires a large number of troops. After several tough battles, the Qin army lost nearly half of it, and was unable to organize a large army.

The geese flying across the sky opened up a new way of thinking for Ouyang Shuo.

Since traditional methods do not work, innovation is required. Ouyang Shuo was thinking, if the Qin Army could use paratroopers like the modern army, jump over the first few floors of the formation, and directly attack the core of the formation. As long as the core of the formation is in chaos, and the army launches an attack from the outside, the formation will be broken!

It has to be said that the cooperation with the [Rattlesnake Mercenary Corps] further stimulated Ouyang Shuo's nerves of change, and his combat thinking became more unconstrained, no longer sticking to the distinction between ancient and modern.

The difficulty of this method is, how to achieve airborne? There were no airplanes in ancient times, and fixed-point airdrops could be implemented.

Ouyang Shuo opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the Daliang Mountain in front of him, his eyes brightened.

Daliang Mountain lies between Xiaodongcang River and Dadongcang River, and its branches extend to the foot of Guguan. It is very close to the Checheng circle formed by Zhao Jun.

If it is possible to land from the top of Daliang Mountain, it is possible to dive down and land directly in the center of the car city circle without the aid of flying tools.

Now, before the idea becomes an actionable plan, the last piece of the puzzle is finding an alternative to the parachute.

Ouyang Shuo immediately thought that the marching tent brought by the army of Shanhai County, this kind of equipment beyond the level of ancient technology, is not the best substitute for the parachute.

After thinking it over, Ouyang Shuo stopped hesitating and said excitedly: "Let's go to Wolf Mountain and meet Lord Wu An!" He walked down the tower first.

The personal guard was also happy to see Junhou's happy expression, and followed him downstairs quickly.

When Ouyang Shuo arrived at the top of Wolf Mountain, Lord Wu An Bai Qi was still standing on the watchtower, staring at the Checheng Circle Formation in the distance, silent.

Bai Qi didn't react at all to Ouyang Shuo's arrival.

In desperation, Ouyang Shuo could only take the lead in saying: "I would like to report to Lord Wu An, I think of a way to break the formation, and I would like to ask Lord Wu An to refer to it and see if it can be implemented."

"What?" Bai Qi, who was motionless, immediately turned around, startling Ouyang Shuo. I saw Bai Qi staring at Ouyang Shuo with his triangular eyes unique to the old Qin people, and said excitedly: "There is no joke in the army, what method do you think of to break the formation, quickly tell me!"

As a veteran who has been on the battlefield all year round, Bai Qi is not angry and arrogant.

Ouyang Shuo's heart trembled, he stabilized his mind, and told all the thoughts he had just thought.

After listening to Ouyang Shuo's method of breaking the formation, Bai Qi was speechless for a while. After a long silence, he murmured: "There is such a method of breaking the formation in the world. This old man is really ignorant. I am ashamed."

"This is the method I came up with by chance, I don't know if it is feasible?"

Bai Qi is still Bai Qi after all, as long as Ouyang Shuo explains a little bit, he already understands the key point, and said confidently: "Although there are still some deficiencies, it is generally feasible, and we need to plan in detail. Not to mention anything else, just To accurately land in the center of the formation, without repeated training in advance, it will definitely not work."

"Besides, how many soldiers to send airborne is also a problem. Too many will not work, and it will easily expose the target. Too few will not work, and it will not disrupt the role of the Chinese army. It is also critical to choose when to airborne. When the army found out, it became a living target, and the soldiers had to be killed by arrows before they landed."

Ouyang Shuo knew very well that when it came to the details of this time, he was absolutely inferior to Bai Qi, so he said obediently: "But according to Lord Wu An's order, the Alien Legion is at his command."

Bai nodded, and said: "Wuyi, you are very good. I have known you for a short month, and you have already brought surprises to the old man, and now you have solved this ancient problem. If you win this battle, I will count your first contribution .”

Ouyang Shuo suppressed the excitement in his heart: "Don't dare to be praised by Lord Wu An, this is what I should do."

Bai Qi waved his hand, obviously not intending to delve into it: "You still have a few things to do."

"Please give orders, Mr. Wu An!"

"One, draw the parachute you mentioned into a blueprint, and teach the military craftsmen how to sew it. Second, collect all the marching tents."

"No!" Ouyang Shuo nodded in agreement, hesitant to speak.

Bai Qi's eyes were so sharp, he said, "What do you have to say? You might as well just say it."

"I have a small request. Among the cavalry I brought, there is a Guards Brigade. They are all soldiers who have received relatively advanced military training. I also ask Mr. Wu An for permission. In the Guards Brigade, Select some soldiers to participate in this airborne operation."

Bai nodded and said, "I've heard about your Guards Brigade. Huan He, Ying Bao and Wang He have all mentioned it to me on different occasions. , Invincible, it seems that what you say is true. It’s just that they are cavalry, can they fight on foot?”

Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed, the army of Shanhai County did not embarrass him, it left a deep impression on the generals of the Qin Army, even Bai Qi was registered.

"The Imperial Guard Brigade is selected from various departments in the army, and every soldier is good at infantry and cavalry."

"Okay, I promise you!" Bai Qi replied very simply.

In Bai Qi's plan, his personal soldiers, the three hundred iron eagle swordsmen, are naturally the best candidates for this airborne mission. However, 300 people was a bit too small, Ouyang Shuo took the initiative to ask for a job, and he would naturally not refuse.

"Thank you Lord Wu An for your trust!" Ouyang Shuo recommended the Imperial Guard Brigade to participate in the battle. In fact, he had no selfish intentions, it was purely to improve the success rate of the mission. Anyway, the Imperial Guard Brigade also received training in the new barracks, and their horizons were broadened. Coupled with their personal combat strength, they naturally did their part.

Otherwise, he would not be willing to dispatch the Guards Brigade for such a dangerous task.
