Chapter 588: Chapter 43: With this battle, shake the world!_2

All other formations were in place, and they were in the central formation, only able to hear the sound of galloping horses and the unending clashing of swords outside. From above, one could see the Qilin Army’s Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation rotating like a huge grinding wheel, guiding different War Generals to different areas.

Speaking of Pei Xiao, who was leading his troops in a charge, after he entered the area, he felt the directions constantly shifting. In front, behind, to the left, and to the right, he could see the Qilin Army clad in Heavy Armor on all sides, but they did not fight with them.

Instead, they swiftly moved about. When Pei Xiao charged, the leading general on the other side would form up, stubbornly withstanding his charge.

The once-mighty Qi Mechanism was being split apart.

The Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, when united, is as impregnable as a city; when dispersed, it forms a pursuit across the terrain. It’s chaotically endless, like a circle with no beginning or end, confusing and complicated, with no known destination.

When united, heaven is at both ends, and earth lies in between.

When dispersed, it’s one Yin and one Yang, each clashing with the other.

In the hands of a top Think Tank, this is a tactical use of terrain in warfare, both offensive and defensive. The move being utilized at the moment is the [Mobile Army] tactic, avoiding the strong to strike the weak, exploiting gaps and confounding the mighty, yet never engaging directly with the enemy. The goal is to sever the connection with the enemy’s rear forces.

When Yuan Zhi explained [Mobile Army] to this group of blockheaded troops.

Fan Qing, Lei Laomeng, these guys didn’t understand at all.

Li Guanyi sat there, as if he understood, but also as if he didn’t. After pondering for a long while, he finally said, "Sir, is the [Mobile Army] you speak of ’retreat when the enemy advances, harass when the enemy halts, strike when the enemy tires, pursue when the enemy retreats’?"

Yuan Zhi was taken aback, thought for a moment, and replied, "It should be so."

Only then did these rough-and-tumble War Generals understand their role in this Formation.

Pei Xiao was shocked when he saw a War General take on his charge, apparently spitting blood, yet standing firm, swiftly maneuvering with the Heavy Shield, grasping the horse spear, and shouting, "Who are you, that general? You can block me?!"

That general swallowed a mouthful of blood and said only, "Fan Qing!"

"Good, and where are you from?"

"Just a mere bandit!"

Pei Xiao was astounded, yet he led his troops in pursuit, when at that moment, he found the Battle Formation had changed, and he and the other two Main Generals had been separated. His mind calm, he continued to lead his troops forward, but along the way, he found the generals avoiding battle. Just as he felt irritated, he suddenly heard a thunderous shout, "Stand your ground, you scoundrel!!!"

A tremendous force exploded, Pei Xiao’s heart skipped, he formed up to respond.

Two waves of Qi clashed together.

He felt his horse spear vibrate in his hands, his wrist ached from the shock, and the opposing Primordial Qi accumulated and surged forth, fierce in its attacks. Caught off guard, he was shaken so much that his Qi and blood churned, and the military formation he led also wavered, almost failing to maintain its composure.

In front of him, Armor stood stark, banners flew fiercely, and a Great General charged forth.

With tiger-like eyes and a ring of whiskers, his aura was intense. Clad in a solemn suit of Armor, his blue battle robe fluttered in the wind, and in his hand, he wielded a long spear. It was an old acquaintance, Han Zhenjia, a War General from Chen Country. The two nations were already enemies, and while they had come in pursuit of the Qilin Army, within the Battle Formation, they found an enemy War General!

On the battlefield, life and death hang by a thread, allowing no delay.

Without a moment to think, Pei Xiao saw Han Zhenjia across the way, shouting "Scoundrel" with a rising aura. The military formation turned into a state like a Dharma Form and battled forward. Pei Xiao recalled the rumors circulating the past two months, suggesting, "Li Guanyi is, after all, a Chen person, and his so-called defection is merely a strategy."

He had originally taken the rumor as a joke, even discussing it with laughter among his generals.

However, the current situation forced him to believe it, and he too thrust his spear and galloped forward. The two Great Generals began their deadly clash within the Eight Gates Golden Lock Great Formation. Meanwhile, arrows rained in from all directions, and both Chen and Ying soldiers, seeing the enemy emerge, drew their swords to advance.

In a matter of moments, the bloodshed intensified, eyes reddened with anger, and as tempers flared, little else mattered as they engaged in fierce combat, growing ever more violent, their murderous intent reaching the heavens. This same scenario unfolded in two other areas where Great Formations mixed.

Yuan Zhi’s tactic of "[borrowing troops]" had astonishingly succeeded!

Already natural enemies, the combatants added new hatred to old grudges, blood boiling in their eyes. Through Yuan Zhi’s sensing, the Qi Mechanism that was initially distinct for each fierce general gradually became murky and eventually turned into a ferocious blackness, churning like ink in the sky.

The second phase of the tactic was successful.

Yuan Zhi’s face was pale, but his demeanor gradually calmed. Compared to when he started executing this Battle Formation, with a trace of uncertainty, he now settled considerably upon realizing everything was proceeding according to his plan.

His temple hair lifted slightly as he felt the changes within the entire Battle Formation and whispered:

"General Ling, General Kou Yulie, prepare yourselves."

As the Chen and Ying War Generals clashed, after the initial frenzy subsided, there was a chance they might realize what was happening. At that moment, it would depend on Ling Pingyang and Kou Yulie.

If the six famed generals reacted swiftly, leading their divisions to break out,

The Qilin Army could only claim a minor victory at most.

But a minor victory was still not enough.

Yuan Zhi’s eyes opened, his voice hoarse: "Charge the heavens and the earth, transforming into Tiger Wings. The crouching tiger strikes, maximizing its power. Utilized by Huaiyin, it transforms into the boundless. At the meeting at Gaixia, the Overlord is unfathomable..."
