The Qianji Black Armored Battalion was a battalion that had been passed down since the Pre-Qin Dynasty. Naturally, its power was not to be underestimated. Normally, it did not require formation flags to set up a simple battle formation. In the hands of the formation master Guo Jia, its power was fully unleashed.
Now, Guo Jia used formation flags and camp plates as formation plates. However, he changed the Qianji Black Armored Battalion into the Qianji Black Armored Battalion Formation. At the same time, the nature of the battalion formation did not change.
The so-called Qianji Black Armored Battalion was powerful because of its "Qianji" and "Black Armored Battalion". The Qianji represented a myriad of changes while the Black Armored Battalion represented a super strong defense.
The Qianji Black Armored Battalion was shaped like an eight-pointed star with a very small arc. It could also be said that it was circular. At the edges, there were barricades, crossbars, and baffles. Normally, the soldiers in the battalion could attack freely through the gaps between the barricades, crossbars, and baffles.
When the soldiers in the battalion wanted to retreat, they could be teleported directly into the battalion through the gaps on the baffles. They only needed to memorize the changes of the battalion formation and move according to the rhythm.
This was only the change of the regional units in the battalion formation. The entire Qianji Black Armored Battalion could also switch between different regions and specific plates. It was like teleporting within the battalion.
In the plot of the Battle of Xuzhou, Dian Wei once had the upper hand in the battle against Lu Bu in this formation. It involved the changes of the teleportation and switching mechanisms within the formation, which played a great role.
Now, Yang Rui was in the Yan County. Looking at the huge hemispherical light shield above his head and around him, he knew that the Qianji Black Armored Battalion was fully operational.
If one looked at it from above, the Qianji Black Armored Battalion was even more spectacular. The area within a radius of 300 li around the Yan County was covered by the battalion formation. Whether it was Cao Cao's or Yuan Shu's troops, they were all restricted by the Qianji Black Armored Battalion.
If the Qianji Black Armored Battalion did not have the strength to greatly surpass the battalion formation, it would be difficult for them to resist.
Just as Guo Jia said, if there were no accidents, the Qianji Black Armored Battalion could wipe out Cao Cao's and Yuan Shu's troops without incurring any losses.
"Milord, the Qianji Black Armored Battalion is ready. Please give the order."
The moment the camp formation was fully activated, Guo Jia and the Imperial Patrol Guards had already teleported to Yang Rui's side through the special plates within the formation. Guo Jia asked for instructions from Yang Rui.
"According to the plan, first open the four city gates of the Yong County and use the camp formation as a guide. Let Yuan Shu's troops and Cao Cao's troops meet first …" Yang Rui ordered.
Although Yang Rui's order was simple and the Qianji Black Armored Battalion was very mysterious, only a formation master like Guo Jia could operate the Qianji Black Armored Battalion in an orderly manner.
At this time, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao had already been moved to the outer area by the camp. They were respectively commanding the troops to guard the three important nodes of the camp, which were the three outer formation eyes that were affected by the first three formation flags.
Even if there were capable people in the camp who could understand the principles of the formation, there had to be people who could pass through the formation eyes guarded by Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao.
At the same time, the positions of the three formation eyes could be changed at any time. To break through the camp formation, it was equivalent to facing Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao at the same time. The chances were even slimmer.
At this time, Yang Rui did not join any camp. Even if he killed Yuan Shu or Cao Cao's troops, he would not gain any points. Thus, Yang Rui allowed Guo Jia to go through the camp formation masters.
"Eh? Yuan Jun?! Yuan Jun has entered the city … "
"Why?"
"Kill!"
"…"
The Qianji Black Armored Battalion kept changing positions. They had already opened the four city gates of the Yong County. Yuan Shu's troops outside the city were also unknowingly moved into the city.
Cao Cao's men in the city also received the same treatment. Many of them appeared outside the city inexplicably. The entire scene was chaotic and could even be described as a mess.
No matter if it was Cao Cao's troops or Yuan Shu's troops, when faced with the sudden change in environment, many of them were slaughtered before they could even react. They did not even know how they died.
This included Cao Ang's cavalry at the outermost area. They were the ones who were scattered the most by the camp formation. They could be seen almost everywhere outside the Yong County. The number of people killed and the ratio of casualties were the highest.
During the initial process of setting up the camp formation and activating it, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao's troops had already rested. Thus, the current chaos was even worse. Many of the soldiers were disheveled, making the cruel and cold-blooded battlefield a little more comical.
Of course, there were still a few people who reacted quickly to the current situation, such as Ji Ling. While he was rampaging through the battlefield, he was also carefully searching for something on the battlefield. In fact, he was looking for the possible existence of an array core.
Another example was Man Chong. Right now, he was holding a sword in one hand and muttering words like "formation". When he encountered Yuan Shu's troops, he would go up and slash them.
Even so, only two or three of them were very limited. Furthermore, whether it was Ji Ling or Man Chong, neither of them had found a way to break through the camp formation.
The chaos and killing continued in the night. The soldiers in the camp had been fighting for a long time. Strength was not enough to protect themselves. Even the generals of Yuan Shu and Cao Cao's sides were all injured.
"Feng Xiao, it is time for our troops to clean up the mess. If there is no resistance, capture them first …"
"Yes!"
About one and a half hours later, the Qianji Black Armored Battalion within a radius of 300 miles was no longer as lively as before. Yuan Shu's troop of nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses had been depleted by half.
On the other hand, out of Cao Cao's 130,000 soldiers, he had lost more than 100,000 soldiers. The remaining soldiers were all injured. Most of them were buried in piles of corpses. After the camp was activated, their geographical advantage disappeared.
After more than two hours of chaotic fighting, the soldiers of both sides had learned some life-saving methods. The camp formation was constantly changing, constantly pushing people in front of new opponents. If they continued to fight, even if they were not killed, they would be exhausted to death.
Thus, many people just lay on the ground and did not get up. This was also the main reason why the battlefield gradually quietened down.
If this situation continued, there would not be much efficiency. Yang Rui ordered his troops to make a move.
There was not much resistance in dealing with the remnants of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's troops. Yang Rui's troops directly shouted out their identities and ordered the remaining troops of both sides to surrender. Those who were not willing to surrender and those who were pretending to be dead would all be killed.
At first, not many people responded and surrendered. However, when they saw that Yang Rui's troops were serious and easily cleaned up the battlefield, many people crowded and wanted to surrender.
