Chapter 563 The Power of the 7-Star Big Dipper Formation

"Seven Star Big Dipper Formation?"

Shang Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Xi Zhicai expectantly. After the system was updated, the power of formations was strengthened, but Shang Ji only knew basic formations such as front arrow formations and shield formations, and there were few generals in the army who mastered advanced formations. Gave a pleasant surprise.

"The seven-star Big Dipper formation is one of the ten ancient formations that have been passed down for a long time. It was deduced according to the arrangement and evolution of the Big Dipper. It can be as small as seven people, or as large as a million troops. The seven stars shine on each other and can be attacked. It can be defended, at least five times as many enemy troops can be resisted!"

Xi Zhicai introduced this large formation to Shang Ji at the right time.

"Would it be very difficult to set up such a strange array? Are there any other restrictions?" Hearing that the Big Dipper Array can withstand a siege by five times the force, Shang Ji's eyes lighted up immediately, and he looked at Xi Zhicai nervously.

"The general's eyes, all the strange formations, wonderful formations, and large formations seem mysterious, but they cannot escape the category of using factors such as the right time and place to strengthen one's own side and the latter to weaken the local area. The big dipper formation has particularly strict terrain requirements. The terrain is very rare, but this Dragonmaw Canyon is just the right environment!

In addition, relying heavily on geographical advantages, the army formation cannot be moved. This is also a major disadvantage of the Big Dipper formation, but this disadvantage has little effect on the current situation.

As for the deployment conditions, our army's soldiers are all well-disciplined and well-trained elites. With a little bit of training, it is not difficult to initially form an army formation! "

"Okay!" Shang Ji shouted excitedly: "Since the military adviser thinks it is feasible, then according to what the military adviser said, including this general, the whole army, including this general, is at the discretion of the military adviser, and must deploy the Big Dipper before the North Korean army counterattacks." !"

"I will live up to the general's entrustment!"

Xi Zhicai was also a little excited. He mobilized hundreds of thousands of elite troops and set up a seven-star Big Dipper formation to resist the invasion of foreign invaders. This is almost the pinnacle achievement for a strategist!

Under the authorization of Shang Ji, Xi Zhicai began to get busy frantically, teaching the captains, Sima and other officers the formation diagrams, arranging suitable formations, and mobilizing soldiers for adaptive training.

Time flies, and five days have passed. Liu Yi and others rushed to Longmao Canyon. At the same time, a large number of aliens from Huaxia secretly sneaked into North Korea through Dragonmaw Canyon to carry out tasks such as sabotage and investigation.

The arrival of Liu Yi and others hastened the arrangement of formations. With the assistance of senior generals, the efficiency of formation formations has been doubled.

On the other hand, Shang Ji led 20,000 elite black-armored black knights to the hinterland of North Korea. Relying on the super-high mobility and unparalleled combat effectiveness of the black-armored black knights, they harassed and slowed down the pace of the North Korean army's counterattack.

On the eighth day, Shang Ji received a summons, and the arrangement of the Seven Star Big Dipper Formation was completed. Directly leading the troops back, made the commander of the Sixth Army of the North Korean Army very angry!

The Seven-Star Big Dipper Formation, as the name implies, requires seven main formations. Depending on the size, there are twenty-eight, thirty-six, seventy-two, one hundred and eight, and three hundred and sixty-five auxiliary formations. Theoretically, the composition of the formation can be Unlimited expansion, but this is of little significance in actual combat.

This time, the Shangji army had only 400,000 troops, and only used seven main formations and twenty-eight auxiliary formations. , Su Huan is in charge, and the core main formation is jointly controlled by Shang Ji and Xi Zhicai.

Each main formation is assisted by four auxiliary formations, and each of the twenty-eight auxiliary formations is guarded by 5,000 elite soldiers, each commanded by 28 elite Sima to support the seven auxiliary formations.

In the end, the remaining tens of thousands of troops were led by Wang Shu as a strategic reserve, and they would support wherever the situation was critical.

Without Shang Ji's harassment, the marching speed of the North Korean army suddenly accelerated. One day later, the Sixth Army Corps of the North Korean Army finally arrived late to attack the Dragon Throat Canyon.

Looking at the peaceful Dragon Throat Grand Canyon, which was far different from what he had expected, Zheng Zhichang, chief of staff of the Sixth Army Corps, looked a little hesitant. There will be no conspiracy?"

"Conspiracy? Can there be any conspiracy? Pass the order down,

The whole army rested on the spot for three hours, and launched a tentative attack on Dragon Throat Canyon three hours later! "

Lin Zhengxian ordered with a blank face.

Pu Yin ordered him to retake Dragon's Throat Canyon in ten days, but due to constant harassment from Shang Ji, he did not reach Dragon's Throat Canyon until the ninth day.

Under such circumstances, breaking through the Dragon's Throat Canyon within a day has become an extravagant hope. As Pu Yin's trusted general, this small mistake will not lead to a fatal disaster.

But he had to make a gesture of doing whatever it takes for Comrade Park Yin to prove his loyalty to Park Yin! Loyalty to Pu Yin, this is the first creed of the North Korean army, everything must be compromised in front of this!

Although he clearly knew that something was wrong with the movement in Dragon's Throat Canyon, Lin Zhengxian gave the order to attack immediately without hesitation!

Soon, the rest time passed, and Lin Zhengxian dispatched 5,000 vanguard troops to launch a tentative attack.

And the target of the attack is not the main formation, but an auxiliary formation under the second main formation.

Sima guarding this auxiliary formation looked excited. As the first battle to guard the Dragon Throat Canyon, it must have been carried out under the direct attention of Shang Ji.

If the performance is effective and attracts the attention of Shang Ji, won't it be easy to make a fortune in the future? Su Huan and Liu Meng are role models for ordinary generals of the Pingzhou Army. Their legendary experience from banditry to general has inspired countless soldiers of the Pingzhou Army. Their achievement is closely related to Shang Ji's attention!

"The whole army obeys the order and is on alert!"

Seeing the enemy approaching step by step, Sima roared loudly to the soldiers under his command.

"Roar!"

Everyone roared in unison, a stream of cyan light appeared on everyone, and the power of the Seven Star Big Dipper Formation began to appear!

As the supreme commander of the army, Shang Ji can easily check the status of the army. This partial army with only 5,000 people has added a Big Dipper array buff at this time. The physical strength, internal strength, and injury recovery speed of the entire army have increased by 100%. Increased by 50%, comprehensive strength increased by 30%, with special skills to work together!

Between the main formation and the main formation, between the main formation and the auxiliary formations it belongs to, and between the four auxiliary formations under the same main formation, they can leverage each other. Through the dispatch of the generals of the main formation, the power can be transferred to the soldiers in need through the formation!

The amount of mobilization and the efficiency of power transfer are closely related to the intelligence of the host of the formation, and are also related to the force and commander of the generals guarding each formation. In addition, the more familiar the soldiers are with the formation and the higher the obedience of the army, it will also directly affect the efficiency of the formation.

In short, the array is a very systematic thing, and the comprehensive effect is related to various aspects.

Because the training time is too short, the Pingzhou Army's Seven-Star Big Dipper Formation is still in its infancy, and its effect is limited, but it is completely sufficient for the current situation.

Seeing the North Korean army coming to kill, the Pingzhou army defending the auxiliary formation was greatly encouraged, occupying a favorable location, two thousand crossbowmen took the lead, and the sharp arrows rained down. The enemy was pierced by sharp arrows.

"Raise the shield, and the crossbowman strikes back!"

The commander of the North Korean army immediately shouted orders.

"Shhhhhh!"

The sword and shield soldiers in the front row immediately raised their shields, while the crossbowmen in the rear began to counterattack. However, an embarrassing scene appeared. The combat power of the Pingzhou Army was already higher than that of the North Korean Army, and now it has the bonus of formation advantages. more than double.

The North Korean army's counterattack looked full of powerlessness and ridiculousness!

"Charge, charge forward!"

The commander of the North Korean army also realized the seriousness of the problem, and directly ordered the army to abandon the defense and charge at full speed.

The North Korean army suffered huge casualties, and when it really rushed into the battle range, there were about 4,000 left of the 5,000-strong army.

However, the expected fierce counterattack did not appear. The melee combat ability of the Pingzhou army is better than the long-range attack ability!

"Brothers, kill the enemy!"

The guardian Sima roared excitedly, and charged up with two thousand soldiers.

The power of the formation has an additional increase for the generals, especially the guarding generals. Originally, this Sima had only first-class peak strength, but after the addition of formations, Sima felt that he could now compete with super-first-class generals!

"kill!"

Raising the big knife in his hand, he rushed to the court army at the head of the horse.

The commander of the North Korean army who was in charge of leading the army's attack was unsurprisingly a stranger, but his strength was not very strong, only ordinary second-rate.

Glancing at the menacing Sima from a distance, the commander clearly realized that he was not an opponent at all. Simply hide in the army and become a full-time commander!

The Sixth Army, with the active North Korean army as the backbone, gave full play to its brave and fearless style. It knew that its strength was not as good as that of Pingzhou, but none of them retreated.

However, this kind of meaningless bravery did not bring any good results. Under the joint suppression of multiple arms, it took less than a quarter of an hour to attack the North Korean army with less than 2,000 people left, and the Pingzhou army was not killed or injured. five hundred!

Lin Zhengxian, who was watching the battle from a distance, became more and more gloomy. After a while, he raised his hand and said, "Send the order to let the troops withdraw!"

The order to withdraw the troops was issued, and the remaining thousand troops retreated like a wave. Sima led his men to chase for several hundred meters and killed two hundred enemy troops, but quickly withdrew and continued to stand firm! The disadvantage of the Big Dipper Formation is here. If you stay away from the eye of the formation that you guard, you will lose the auxiliary bonus of the formation.

And the optimal strategic goal of this battle is to defend the Dragon Throat Fortress, and killing the enemy is second, so there was an order before, don't be greedy for victory, and don't chase after the poor.

Shang Ji, who was also watching the battle, nodded in satisfaction. Under the same circumstances, without the Big Dipper formation, the Pingzhou Army would naturally be able to hold the position, but the casualties would definitely be much more severe than this!

After a while, Shang Ji received a detailed battle report: "Three thousand and four enemies were killed, zero enemies were captured, bows, crossbows, armor, knives and guns were confiscated, and five hundred and twenty people were killed or killed!"
