Chapter 1007: Losses

At this moment, the two armies were less than a hundred feet apart. Meng Duo thought that as long as the Di army maintained their defense and formed a confrontation with the You army, the You army would not dare to charge forward rashly.

However, he was wrong.

Yin Huaixi waved his flag and changed the formation. General Ning Yuan shouted, “All troops, listen up. Change to the Heaven and Earth Tripartite

Formation and charge.”

Before Mondo could figure out what kind of formation the Heaven and Earth Tripartite Formation was, he saw the You army, which had split into two teams, quickly complete the integration. They interspersed both inside and out, forming an “A” shape that pointed towards the north like a sharp cone.

At the front were heavy shields. Meng Duo hurriedly ordered the arrows to be shot, but they were blocked by the shields. The dense rain of arrows could not stop the You army’s sprint.

Meng Duo immediately understood that the Heaven and Earth Tripartite Formation was a combination of protection, attack, and defense. It was most suitable for charging at the last minute.

At this moment, Meng Duo already had the intention to retreat. However, he thought about how this was the first time he was leading the army as the commander-in-chief. In order to gain the right to speak for the main battle faction, he had even made a military order in front of the various branches. If he lost this battle, not only would he lose his status as the commander-in-chief, but even the troops in his hands would be divided among the other generals.

At the thought of this, Meng Duo recalled that the soldiers of the Northern Barbarians were warlike and brave, so he ordered, “They’re using the trick of making an uproar to gain favor. Men of the Northern Barbarians, follow me and rush over. Let’s teach the spineless people of the Great Zhou Dynasty a lesson…

As soon as he gave the order, the soldiers of the Northern Barbarians roared and began to rush forward. Harmon knew that he couldn’t stop them, so he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Seeing that the warhorses of the Northern Barbarians were about to charge over, Yin Huaixi raised his flag again.

General Ning Yuan shouted, “Withdraw the shields and attack!”

Right on the heels of that, the heavy-shield soldiers stopped on the spot. One by one, the MO Saber users stepped on the shoulders of the shieldbearers and jumped into the battlefield. They crawled and dodged the rain of arrows from the Di people. They quickly rushed to the front of the Di army’s horses and brandished their swords…

A bloody and cruel scene appeared.

With a slash of the blade by the MO Saber users, the Northern Barbarians cavalry charging in front of the formation were all cut to the ground, including their horses. After a strike, they quickly retreated without stopping.

As the first group of warhorses in the Northern Barbarians were slashed, the warhorses charging behind immediately fell into chaos.

Yin Huaixi waited for an opportunity. Then, he pointed two fingers at the sky before gently pressing down.

Immediately, the shieldbearers dispersed. The archers jumped onto the shoulders of the shieldbearers and shot arrows at the Northern Barbarians like rain. There were screams, exclamations, cries, and the neighing of horses

These voices rose and fell in chaos.

General Ning Yuan shouted, “Shieldbearers, pay attention to defense. Change your formation at any time and protect the safety of the archers.”

After a round of arrows, the front row of shieldbearers quickly retreated, and the back row of shieldbearers charged forward.

After five rounds, the formation of the Northern Barbarians was already in chaos.

Nieng Duo was a very experienced general who had been through hundreds of battles. Just now, the enemy had taken him by surprise, disrupting the Northern Barbarians’ formation. If this continued, Meng Duo would soon have to reorganize his formation and suffer a huge loss. The Northern Barbarians would definitely attack forcefully to boost the morale of the army and wash away the losses and humiliation. At that time, the You army would welcome them. With a fierce attack by the Di Army, the Heaven and Earth Tripartite

Formation would show its weakness.

Yin Huaixi quickly waved his flag to signal a change in formation.

General Ning Yuan shouted, “All troops, listen up. Change to the Four Gates Bottom Formation.”

Immediately, the “A” -shaped Heaven and Earth Tripartite Formation became a single square frame. Harmon’s expression became even more solemn. After thinking for a moment, he understood the mysteries of this formation.

“The two layers that form the four sides are filled with shieldbearers, forming a strong defensive wall. There are spearmen interspersed in the middle, followed by archers, then by the cavalry and infantry.”

Meng Duo also said, “It looks like a defensive formation, but its attack power can’t be underestimated. As the attacking party, we, the Northern Barbarians, should either stay away from the range of the archers in the formation and retreat without fighting, or we should be fearless and rush forward to face the arrow rain of the enemy archers. We should kill the shieldbearers and break through the enemy’s defensive wall. However, in this way, the Northern Barbarians’ warhorses will definitely be exposed to the enemy’s arrow rain.

It’s inevitable that there will be heavy casualties.”

This formation waited for the enemy to tire themselves out.

It was extremely sinister.

It made one helpless.

Harmon thought for a moment and shouted, “All troops, listen up. Immediately form up on the spot and regroup.”

Meng Duo had suffered a huge loss and subconsciously listened to Harmon’s orders. After all, he was a valiant general who had been on the battlefield for a long time. He quickly got into formation, but when he looked down, he saw corpses all over the ground and his heart immediately ached.

Harmon continued to give orders, “This formation is good for defense. However, it’s less mobile and flexible. You can focus on attacking a point and break their shield momentum. This formation can be broken.’

Meng Duo aimed to the east and ordered an attack.

As Harmon had expected, the You army’s shield momentum was broken. The Northern Barbarians couldn’t help but perk up and quickly intensified their charge. However, to Harmon’s surprise, Yin Huaixi didn’t panic and only waved his flag to change the formation.

General Ning Yuan shouted, “All troops, listen up. The shieldbearers in the front row, weave through each other and form the Five Tigers Surrounding

Sheep Formation.”

The Northern Barbarians soldiers who were the first to charge and break the array formation were immediately like sheep entering a pack of tigers. They were beaten into a mess by the You army’s overwhelming attack and fled in all directions. However, they were sheep who had entered a pack of tigers. How could they escape the hunting tigers?!

When Meng Duo saw that the situation was not good, he immediately understood that the formation of the Great Zhou Dynasty was unpredictable. The Four Gates Bottom Formation just now was to deal with a violent wave of attacks after the Northern Barbarians suffered a loss.

Once the Northern Barbarians fell for it, the other party would immediately change their formation. The Five Tigers Surrounding Sheep Formation was a psychological formation that could psychologically give the enemy the illusion that the enemy were tigers and wolves, while they were cows and sheep. It would defeat their morale psychologically, taking down the most elite and brave soldiers of the Northern Barbarians in one fell swoop.

Harmon shouted, “All troops, listen up and retreat.”

The soldiers of the Northern Barbarians quickly drove their horses, turned around, and retreated.

Yin Huaixi waved the flag again and changed the formation. General Ning Yuan shouted, “The Six Men and Six Armor Formation.’

The cavalry formed a straight line and got into the Six Men and Six Armor Formation. Then, they quickly rushed forward, starting to kill the soldiers who had scattered when the Di Army retreated.

Those at the rear of the Northern Barbarian army were severely attacked.

In this battle, the Northern Barbarians were almost unable to fight back, causing a huge pressure on Meng Duo’s heart. He couldn’t help but shout with all his might, “Retreat, retreat, retreat quickly…”

Yin Huaixi sneered and continued to wave the flag.

General Ning Yuan shouted, “All troops, listen up. Change to the Two Dragons out of the Water Formation and chase at full speed. Surround the enemy.”

Even an army as powerful as the Northern Barbarians were defeated by just six formations. The most powerful formations that could be formed by the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation were the Seven Stars Big Dipper

Formation, the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, and the Nine Palace Formation.

Everything in front were simply appetizers.

The entire army split into two dragons and quickly rushed forward to surround the enemy.

Harmon was shocked and shouted, “All troops, gather together and break out of the array with a focused attack…”

The front line was in chaos. All the injured soldiers were treated by the field medics before being carried back to the camp by the orderlies. The camp was extremely busy..
