Chapter 509 - 23: Sword Madman Strikes, The Strategist Offers a Plan, The Martial World Meets The Temples!_2

A basic battle formation took shape.
Pang Shuiyun’s eyes sparkled slightly, his tone calm as he said, "Three thousand men, and Yuwen Tianxian is a steady and firm type of famous general, skilled in formation deployment and advancement. Whether it’s cavalry or infantry combat, he has considerable expertise. This battle formation is not large, but it’s also definitely not small."

In history, famous generals who stood out at this age, at the very least ranked within the top thirty on the Divine General List in the future."
"But if this continues, in the future, he will only become a Fierce General, a Fighting General."
"Skilled at slaying generals and capturing flags, but unable to become a Great General."
"He needs experience in leading troops."

Pang Shuiyun asked, "How does one become a qualified general?"
