Chapter 1038 Six Flower Formation
King Zhao's cavalry soon approached, led by Zhao Bing and Zhao Ling.
When Zhao Bing saw a group of people blocking the way ahead, all of them infantry, he instinctively drew his sword and shouted, "Charge! Kill them!"
"Wait." Before Zhao Ling could finish his words, the people behind him had already followed Zhao Bing out to kill him. He could only turn around and look at King Zhao, "Father."
King Zhao looked at the people from the Shadow Guard Division in front of him with a cold expression, and had already recognized Xuyang who was in the lead.
"It's okay." King Zhao raised his hand to interrupt Zhao Ling.
It seems that these are all people from the Shadow Guard Division. Although they are all elite, they are only infantry and are not equipped with gunpowder weapons. They are completely no match for the cavalry.
However, his composure was soon broken.
"What kind of formation is this?" King Zhao frowned and looked forward, asking the counselor beside him.
The counselor's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "Your Highness, I don't know."
They were riding on horses, looking down from above, and the formation set up by the enemy looked like a six-petal flower. At first glance, it seemed to be a joke. Who would set up a flower in a war?
But this flower had already caused them to lose over a hundred cavalrymen in just a quarter of an hour!
If Shen Qingqian were here, she would be able to recognize that what Sheng Ze had the Shadow Guards set up was the famous formation that the famous general Li Jing used to defeat the Turks in history - the Six Flower Formation.
The Six Flower Formation evolved from the Eight Diagrams Formation. Usually, the central army is in the middle, and the six armies of right wing front army, right wing right army, right Yuhou army, left Yuhou army, left wing left army and left wing rear army are outside. Looking from top to bottom, it is in the shape of a six-petal flower.
This formation is a large formation surrounding a small formation, a large camp surrounding a small camp, the camps are connected, and different types of troops cooperate with each other, giving the formation the characteristics of concentration, mobility, and coordination.
In addition, the Six Flower Formation can be changed from a sharp formation to a circular formation, a circular formation to a square formation, and even a curved formation to a straight formation at any time according to needs.
The only drawback of this formation is probably that it requires an excellent central army commander. If the commander is not strong enough, the formation will collapse very quickly.
However, for the Zhao Wang army, who were seeing this kind of formation for the first time, before they could react, they were separated and surrounded by the Shadow Guards and their formation was broken.
"Father, we can't let them go on like this. Our number is decreasing rapidly!" Zhao Ling said anxiously.
King Zhao also knew that the current situation was not favorable to him, but most of his men were tied up and could not withdraw from the Six Flower Formation at this time.
Seeing his own cavalry dwindling rapidly, King Zhao hardened his resolve and immediately ordered, "Charge from the side!"
No matter how powerful this formation is, they only have five or six hundred people, while he has three thousand people, so he can at least hold off for him for a while.
At this moment, someone from the Six Flower Formation soared into the sky, heading straight towards King Zhao!
"Father, be careful!" Zhao Ling was shocked and subconsciously rushed towards King Zhao.
But his movements were still not as fast as Sheng Ze's. Sheng Ze held a gunpowder weapon in his hand and raised his hand to shoot at King Zhao.
King Zhao's pupils opened wide as he stared blankly at his chest, where blood was gushing out.
"Father!"
"Your Majesty!"
Zhao Ling and King Zhao's army were stunned. By the time they reacted, King Zhao had already fallen off his horse.
Sheng Ze stood on one foot on the horse's back, looking calmly at the Zhao Wang army on the opposite side, which was already in chaos.
"Why did you kill our father?" Zhao Ling turned around and questioned Sheng Ze.
At this moment, the fear in his heart grew wildly.
If Shengze dared to kill his father, would he not be able to survive?
