Xiao Zhixing turned around, and the tall, upright imperial banner of the Northern Barbarian Khanate clearly identified them.
Su Zhen's expression changed slightly. "Young Master, they are elite Iron Wolf Clan soldiers under Xiao Kui's command!"
Xiao Zhixing watched Xiao Chi flee with regret, then calmly shouted, "Form ranks and defend against the enemy!"
Tap! Tap! Tap!
From the air, the Southern Jiangsu Army, which had been fighting in various places, converged like a tide.
Centered on Xiao Zhixing and Su Zhen, a huge Five Elements and Eight Trigrams formation appeared.
If one hexagram is facing an enemy, the other two hexagrams will provide support.
The inner half-hexagram can rotate and can alternately correspond to any hexagram.
The Bagua Formation, the most powerful battle formation of the Southern Jiangsu Army, has been passed down for hundreds of years and is showing its prowess once again today.
[Ahhhhhhh—] A massive wave of billions of screaming comments flooded the screen.
[I tried to hold back during this tense and exciting moment, but I just couldn't help it! The Bagua Formation! The Southern Jiangsu Bagua Formation!!]
[I shouldn't be crying right now, but I can't help it! Classic moment! Southern Jiangsu gossip!]
[I've already turned into an ape, roar!]
This is the true strength of the Southern Jiangsu Army! The real trump card of this millennium-old powerful army!!
[Holy crap! Holy crap! To witness the lost Bagua formation with my own eyes!! I can die now!]
Meanwhile, the interstellar Soviet Union has begun frantically taking screenshots and recording screens.
This is their lost treasure, and just being able to see it with their own eyes is enough to make them excited and crazy.
"Su Zhen, how have you been! And Xiao Zhixing, meeting you in this kind of situation truly proves the saying that fortunes change."
Xiao Kui appeared at the front of the formation, followed by the mighty Northern Barbarian elites.
More than 40,000 troops had completely surrounded the Southern Jiangsu Army.
In the center of the Bagua formation, several horses stood in neat rows, and a small platform was quickly erected behind them. Xiao Zhixing stood on it and could have a commanding view of the entire scene.
"Xiao Kui, you're the one who's been a scourge for a thousand years, and you haven't died of anger yet? You really are a bastard, tough as nails."
Xiao Zhixing retorted sharply.
Su Zhen, carrying nine colorful flags, also ascended the small platform and said arrogantly, "With your mere forty thousand men, you think you can break my Bagua Formation? You're dreaming."
Xiao Kui sneered, "A mere 20,000 men are like ants trying to eat an elephant. I have 40,000 men, and I will take you all down."
Waaah!
Soon the northern barbarians began their attack in response to the horns.
Su Zhen waved the white flag.
rustling sound—
A dense barrage of arrows burst forth, wiping out thousands of enemy soldiers in the first volley.
"Continue!" Xiao Kui coldly ordered.
After the second volley of arrows, the Northern Barbarian cavalry charged from all directions, braving death. They were getting closer and closer.
Su Zhen waved all nine flags in unison, shouting, "Turn!"
Whoosh!
The soldiers in the first and second rows of the Southern Jiangsu Army held their long swords at an angle, the hilts tightly tucked under their armpits, and began to spur their horses into a clockwise gallop.
From above, the outer two layers look like a wheel covered in blades, spinning at high speed and strangling anyone who gets close.
This is a true strangulation!
The scene was bloody and brutal; people and horses were torn to pieces.
Xiao Kui's gaze turned icy, and he ordered again, "Continue!!"
Su Zhen waved the nine flags again, shouting, "Rebellion!"
The command was obeyed without question, like a precision instrument; the wheel suddenly stopped and began to rotate counterclockwise!
These two attacks resulted in the loss of nearly four thousand men for the Northern Barbarians!
The Southern Jiangsu Army only lost a few dozen men.
Xiao Kui's heart was bleeding. He gritted his teeth and roared, "Bow and arrow!"
Su Zhen drew a circle with nine flags.
With a whoosh, the black cloaks on the backs of each soldier in the Southern Jiangsu Army unfolded, transforming into shields that covered their heads.
—This is five layers of cowhide soaked in a special solution. It is thick and sturdy; it would be considered impressive if an arrow could even pierce through it.
The cloaks were linked together to form a huge black curtain, covering everyone.
After two waves of arrows, the Southern Jiangsu army was unharmed.
Su Zhen suddenly waved a red flag, and the cadres launched a fierce attack.
Like a blade suddenly thrown out, it ripped apart the nearest enemy soldier in a flash.
They retreated in an instant, their timing impeccable.
The inner half of the trigram will immediately fill in when they return, while the front half can step back to rest and treat their wounds.
This rotation allows the Southern Jiangsu Army to maximize its combat effectiveness.
Xiao Zhixing watched with great interest and couldn't help but cheer.
If there were war drums, she would definitely play a tune to cheer on the mighty army.
General Sunan, the founder of the Sunan Army, truly deserves to be called the God of War of the Yin Dynasty. His unparalleled brilliance can be seen from this battle.
She pondered that there was no other way to break this formation.
The only option is to wear down the enemy through attrition, using five to ten times the manpower to completely wear down and deplete the Southern Jiangsu Army.
Alternatively, use heavily armored cavalry for a violent charge.
However, the prerequisite is that you can surround the Southern Jiangsu Army first; otherwise, they run fast, and you can only chase after them and get left behind.
Xiao Kui's back teeth were about to break, so he could only continue to push him forward.
Xiao Zhixing also lends a hand, "Black Tiger!"
"Roar! Roar!!"
The power of the mythical tiger is such that its voice carries an inherent sense of intimidation and targeting, even instilling fear in trained enemy warhorses.
The northern barbarian cavalry were thrown into disarray, and Su Zhen waved four flags.
With all four hexagrams appearing simultaneously, the blade sliced and then withdrew, taking away another three thousand people.
"Your Majesty!" An Wuxi frowned, "If this continues, our people..."
Xiao Kui's face was grim. "This is a rare opportunity. Even if everyone dies, even if we all perish together, I will wipe them out for this Khan!!"
The hatred in his heart cannot be quelled until the Southern Jiangsu Army is destroyed.
Instead of acting according to the original plan, he returned to the grassland ahead of schedule and ordered all his troops to gather at the Beidu River, in order to lure out the Southern Jiangsu Army.
He knew they would definitely come; if they didn't, they wouldn't be the Southern Jiangsu Army, nor would they be Su Zhen and Xiao Zhixing.
Training elite troops like the Southern Jiangsu Army takes a long time.
