Chapter 587 - 43: With This Battle, Shaking the World!
The Wind Queen grasped the marvel, the Eight Gates Golden Lock.
This ancient Great Formation rapidly began to change, with more than ten thousand armored soldiers pressing onto the battlefield, transforming into a battlefield fourteen hectares in size. These soldiers, all in heavy armor with gigantic shields, linked in breath, again transformed into an Eight-Part Formation, capable of dispersing the pressure they bore.
To protect themselves, they constructed battle formations.
Within it, their own troops morphed into at least eight major formations, swiftly transitioning and changing. Enemies who entered this formation saw only ambushing troops to the left, right, front, and back, blindly charging forward, solely focusing on the slaughter. However, a strategist outside the formation was controlling the changes to the military formation with flags.
Like a constantly changing millstone, not a fixed form.
But this formation was not primarily for attacking through slaughter, but for defense, guidance.
The eight formations, sixty-four maneuvers swiftly transitioning and guiding the troops of Ying Country and Chen Country’s armies who entered the battle formation to collide with each other. This was what Yuan Zhi called "borrowing troops," a tactic and strategy proposed from extreme confidence in his ability to control his own battle formation and battlefield.
Once successful, it would be renowned throughout the world.
But if it failed, it would mean facing an enemy several times the size of their own with more than ten thousand men.
If they did not achieve a great victory, it would be a great defeat.
