Han Mo Da was unfamiliar with this formation. It seemed too simple; it was just a row of soldiers arranged around them to surround them.
Could such a formation possibly stop my army? As long as my iron cavalry charges through, they can crush the soldiers in front of them into mincemeat.
To try and set up a formation in the face of absolute power is just a joke, isn't it?
At this time, Khan Moda was still grieving the death of his younger brother. He vowed to slaughter all the soldiers of the Great Northern Dynasty to vent his hatred.
He commanded the Jin soldiers, preparing to charge back and forth, knowing they wouldn't need to use swords or guns to crush them to death.
The Jin soldiers shouted and charged toward the rank of soldiers closest to them.
Suddenly, the human wall changed; what was originally just one row instantly became more than ten rows.
Khanmoda didn't care. No matter how many ranks were placed in front of him, what could they do? His army would still trample them.
Just as the Jin soldiers were about to rush up to them, more than ten rows of soldiers suddenly raised their crossbows and fired arrows at the charging Jin soldiers.
Arrows rained down on the Jin soldiers, and the soldiers at the front fell to the ground one after another. The soldiers who rushed forward were also shot down. Before long, piles of Jin soldiers' corpses appeared in front of the soldiers.
Hanmo realized that he had encountered a formidable enemy. There were thousands of archers who had just shot at them. It seemed that there were many people lying in ambush in this formation, but he just didn't know it.
This couldn't go on, so Khanmoda quickly withdrew the Jin troops, no longer daring to charge.
Khan Moda tried to break out from other directions, but his attempts were repeatedly thwarted by arrows. As a result, he lost several thousand soldiers.
Since we can't break through the array wall, let's break through the array gate.
Hanmo Da commanded his soldiers to charge towards a nearby gate.
The most distinctive feature of the Four Gates Encirclement Formation is its unpredictability; all the layouts within the formation can be changed at any time, making it impossible to defend against.
The Jin soldiers rushed towards the gate, and just as they were about to break through, the gate suddenly disappeared and reappeared in another place.
They were quickly shot back.
What am I going to do? Am I going to be trapped here and die today? Sweat began to bead on Hanmo's forehead.
Seeing his soldiers dwindling in number, Hanmo knew that if he couldn't break through, he would surely die today.
This formation has four gates, right? So his troops rushed out from all four gates at the same time. He didn't believe that all four gates could change simultaneously.
As long as one group of soldiers breaks out, our own troops can attack from the inside and outside to break through the formation.
Thinking of this, Hanmoda divided his troops into four teams, and with a command, the four teams charged toward the four gates.
The gate did not disappear at this time; instead, the soldiers at the gate threw bombs at the Jin soldiers.
The bombs exploded in the crowd, sending the Jin soldiers flying and their horses tumbling. The Jin soldiers trapped in the formation immediately fell into chaos, with men and horses trampling each other, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.
By this time, the Jin army had suffered more than half casualties. Seeing this, Hanmo Da was both anxious and angry. He led the remaining Jin soldiers to charge wildly through the formation, but they could not break through.
Every time Khanmoda made a move, there were casualties among his men and horses. He was like a tiger trapped in a cage; the more he struggled, the more he was hurt.
Seeing his soldiers dwindling in number, Hanmoda let out a long sigh, realizing he was destined to die in this great formation today.
Just then, a small group of people rushed out from around the corner of the formation, numbering only a little over a thousand.
Leading the charge was a young warrior, riding a white horse and wielding a silver spear, exuding an imposing aura; this man was none other than Li Guang.
Hanmo Da, trapped in the great formation, was at his wit's end when a group of people suddenly arrived, which gave him a pleasant surprise.
Hanmo had heard of formations before, but had never encountered them. Today was his first time, and he was so overwhelmed that he questioned his existence. At this moment, a group of people appeared in the formation, which might be able to change his current predicament.
This young warrior will face him in battle; with his strength, capturing this warrior alive should not be a problem.
If I can capture this general, I will have leverage in negotiations and may be able to leave here alive.
"Who goes there? State your name."
Hanmoda wanted to know who this general was; if he was the commander of this army, that would be wonderful.
Li Guang smiled slightly and said:
"Hanmo Da, you can talk after you win this gun from me. You beasts have invaded my Great Northern Dynasty, committed all kinds of evil deeds, and today is your death day."
Enraged by the insult, Hanmoda was determined to teach this brat a lesson and capture him alive.
Hanmo urged his horse forward and raised his large cleaver to slash at Li Guang.
Li Guang was also very surprised when he saw the big sword. It was too big, and it seemed that the man was very strong.
Seeing the broadsword coming straight at him, Li Guang didn't dodge, but instead raised his spear and charged forward.
The clash of swords and spears produced a piercing sound that made Hanmo's arms go numb.
Hanmo Da had not expected his opponent to be so strong; he had underestimated him. He would have to be extra careful when fighting him.
Next, Ambassador Hanmo used all his skills to fight Li Guangda.
After several rounds, Hanmoda realized he was wrong. The young general in front of him was strong and his spear was heavy. His spear technique was watertight and flawless. His own broadsword could not gain any advantage in front of him.
Li Guang swung his spear, raining blows at Hanmo Da, leaving him flustered and only able to parry, unable to retaliate.
The two sides fought for more than ten rounds. Li Guang thrust his spear into Hanmoda's left shoulder. Hanmoda cried out in pain and dropped his broadsword to the ground.
Hanmo Da turned and ran, and Li Guang did not chase after him, because there was no way to escape in the great formation.
He had just reached the edge of the formation when he was shot back by a hail of arrows. This was terrible; a crossbow arrow struck his right shoulder, and now both shoulders were injured.
Li Guang looked at Hanmo Da, who had retreated, and said:
"Khanmo Da, dismount and surrender now! What are you waiting for?"
At this moment, Hanmo Da was not only unarmed but also seriously injured. He struggled to pull out his sword and wanted to commit suicide.
"Want to commit suicide? It's not that easy."
With a swift swing of his spear, Li Guang swept Hanmo Da off his horse. The soldiers behind him swarmed forward and bound Hanmo Da.
Looking at the remaining Jin soldiers, Li Guang said, "If you want to live, surrender immediately, or you will be shot to death by a hail of arrows."
With their commander captured, the Jin soldiers lost their leader. Not wanting to live, they threw down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and surrendered.
"Tie them all up," Li Guang ordered.
More than a thousand soldiers behind him rushed forward and bound the Jin soldiers tightly.
