Chapter 269: Dragon Snake Heavenly Might Formation

Even Li Jing and others were shocked when they first saw the "Dragon Snake Heavenly Power Formation" set up by the Qizhou Army.

In their eyes, the cavalry in the dragon head section could rush towards them like lightning at any time.

The infantry and archers in the snake's body were on high alert, ready to attack at any time.

The entire formation's offense and defense are orderly and unpredictable, giving people a feeling of being unpredictable.

Therefore, in the eyes of Li Jing and others, the "Dragon Snake Heavenly Power Formation" of the Qizhou Army was like an insurmountable mountain, and its weaknesses could not be seen for the time being.

But as they are experienced, they know that no matter how sophisticated the formation is, there will always be flaws.

Li Jing, Xue Rengui, Qin Qiong and others stood in front of the formation, staring at the "Dragon Snake Heavenly Power Formation" opposite with serious expressions.

"This 'Dragon Snake Heavenly Might Formation' is indeed extraordinary."

"I've observed that the cavalry of the dragon head has a very strong impact force, while the infantry and archers of the snake body cooperate well. It may not be easy to break through directly."

Li Jing spoke first, his brows furrowed, obviously thinking about a countermeasure.

"That's right. We must find the key point of this formation."

"In my opinion, the snake's tail may be its weak spot, because it is relatively weak and is the support point of the entire formation."

Xue Rengui nodded, glanced at the formation on the opposite side, and added.

"Perhaps we can try to distract their attention and have some of our forces feint an attack on the dragon's head while the main force attacks the snake's waist."

"That may be the key connecting the dragon head and the snake tail. Once the snake waist is cut off, the entire formation may fall into chaos."

Qin Qiong listened for a while, joined the discussion and put forward another opinion.

"Both generals have a point."

"We might as well combine these two strategies. First, use a small part of our forces to contain the head of the snake, and then concentrate our superior forces to attack the waist of the snake. At the same time, we should pay attention to the movements of the tail of the snake. Once there is an opportunity, we will deliver a fatal blow."

After hearing this, Li Jing's eyes flashed.

After several in-depth discussions, the group finally reached a preliminary consensus.

"The key to this battle is coordination and timing."

"All units must maintain close coordination and strike without hesitation once a flaw is found."

Li Jing emphasized again and made the final decision.

As the discussion concluded, the generals returned to their respective armies.

Prepare to launch the first round of exploratory attacks.

As the war drums sounded in Cangzhou.

The "Dragon Snake Heavenly Power Formation" of the Qizhou Army on the opposite side also launched a fierce attack.

The cavalry of the dragon head rushed towards the enemy's position like a cannonball.

The sound of their horses' hooves was deafening, as if they were going to trample the entire battlefield under their feet.

The infantry and archers in the snake's body followed closely behind, providing support and cover for the cavalry.

Under the attack of the "Dragon Snake Heavenly Power Formation", Li Jing and others' first exploratory attack began to fall into a passive position.

They tried to find the flaws in the formation and counterattack.

But he found that this formation seemed to be an impeccable whole.

No matter how they attacked they could not break its defense.

The Qizhou cavalry, which was the leading part of the "Dragon Snake Heavenly Power Formation", was as sharp as a blade. They quickly met the Cangzhou cavalry that was in the front, and the two sides launched a fierce confrontation.

The infantry and archers in the snake's body worked closely together to form an indestructible line of defense, which repeatedly frustrated the attacks of Li Jing and others.

Although the soldiers of Cangzhou Army tried their best, they were still defeated by the "Dragon Snake Heavenly Power Formation".

Their attack was like a drop in the ocean, with no effect at all.

As time went on, the offensive of the Cangzhou coalition gradually weakened, and the Qizhou army took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, forcing back the first round of the Cangzhou army's attack.

The first round of exploratory attack ended in failure, and Li Jing and others were forced to retreat to their camp.

As night fell, the military camps of Qizhou and Cangzhou faced each other from afar, inside the brightly lit tents.

Li Jing, Xue Rengui, Qin Qiong and others sat in front of the map with serious expressions.

After a day of testing, the weaknesses of the Qizhou Army's "Dragon Snake Heavenly Power Formation" were nowhere to be found.

The attack and defense were well-organized and flawless, preventing them from making any progress.

At this time, Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of the Cangzhou army, frowned, knowing that the difficulty of this battle would probably be much greater than expected.

"After testing it today, I believe you have all seen that the Qizhou Army's 'Dragon Snake Heavenly Might Formation' is extraordinary."

"This formation has both offensive and defensive capabilities, and it has many variations. It is not easy to find a breakthrough point."

He looked around at the generals present and spoke slowly.

"What the commander said is absolutely right. Today, I led the army to charge several times, but was blocked by the silver-feathered cavalry of the dragon head."

"Their reaction speed and impact are truly astonishing."

Xue Rengui, dressed in a white robe, touched the sparse beard on his chin and spoke.

"Yes, the positions of the infantry and archers in the snake's body are also as solid as a rock."

"Our army tried to break through several times, but was met with dense rain of arrows and stubborn resistance from the infantry."

"If you want to break this formation, you still need to plan carefully."

Qin Qiong, who had been silent all this time, also added.

"This formation is indeed tricky, but I believe that any formation has its weaknesses."

"Tomorrow, we will explore the Qizhou Army camp again to see if we can find any new clues."

Li Jing nodded and said after thinking for a moment.

Upon hearing this, all the generals nodded in agreement.

Then, they began to discuss today's battle situation in detail, analyzing every detail of the "Dragon Snake Heavenly Power Formation" and trying to find a way to crack it.

It was late at night, but the lights in the big tent were still bright.

Li Jing and others sat in front of the map, some thinking, some discussing, and some recording.

The figure swayed on the map, as if engaged in a silent contest with the mysterious "Dragon Snake Heavenly Power Formation".

After a night of discussion, Li Jing and others decided to adopt the strategy of dividing the forces and attacking together.

They planned to take advantage of the Cangzhou Army's superior military strength and launch attacks from multiple directions simultaneously in order to find a breakthrough in the Qizhou Army's formation.

On the morning of the second day, as the drums of war sounded, the Cangzhou coalition forces once again challenged the "Dragon Snake Heavenly Might Formation" of the Qizhou army.
Jing was in charge of the central army, while Xue Rengui and Qin Qiong each led an elite force to launch attacks from the left and right sides respectively.

On the battlefield, dust was flying and the sound of killing was deafening.

The "Dragon Snake Heavenly Power Formation" of the Qizhou Army once again demonstrated its powerful force.

The elite cavalry moved flexibly at the dragon head position, while the infantry and archers defended tightly at the snake body part, causing the Cangzhou army's attacks to be repeatedly frustrated.

The battle lasted for a whole day and both sides suffered heavy losses.

However, relying on the advantages of the "Dragon Snake Heavenly Power Formation", the Qizhou Army always maintained a solid defensive posture.

Li Jing and others witnessed the power of this formation on the battlefield, and they understood more clearly that it was not easy to break this formation.

As night fell, the fighting paused temporarily.

Li Jing and others gathered in the big tent again, their faces filled with fatigue and helplessness.
