"So, they were just probing before?"
Lian Po narrowed his eyes. He was very sure that there was a formation expert in the enemy's formation. In less than an hour of probing, they had grasped the rules of the formation and came up with a way to break it.
"It's just that it's a little too simple."
Lian Po smiled faintly. Under his command, the formation changed again. The originally unpredictable formation suddenly became even more dangerous and unpredictable.
The various changes were dazzling, not to mention the Imperial Guards of the State of Jin who were in the formation.
The Great Jin Imperial Guards that had just gathered suffered another heavy blow. It was as if they were being torn apart and separated again. There was no logic to it.
Meng Tian was the first to sense the changes in the formation. His expression changed slightly. At this point, he had already lost his perception of the formation and was as good as blind.
There were enemy camps all around them. Groups of soldiers could suddenly rush out at any time to surround and kill them. If they continued fighting, they might not even be able to tell which direction was north, south, and west.
One mistake and the first legion of the Great Jin Imperial Guards would perish in this formation.
The only one who could save them was Huo Qubing.
Huo Qubing was obviously aware of this. When the formation changed, he was already thinking of a countermeasure. The Dao of formations was the most complicated. It was not something that could be figured out in a short period of time.
Huo Qubing felt the pressure as Lian Po exerted his strength.
Time passed like flowing water. The situation of the Great Jin Imperial Guards became more and more difficult. Fortunately, Huo Qubing was a genius and had studied the Dao of formations. He was especially familiar with the way to advance and retreat.
Advancing and retreating together and coming and going like the wind were Huo Qubing's specialty.
When the Great Jin Imperial Guards started to suffer heavy casualties, Huo Qubing finally understood the rules of the formation. He did not dare to delay and began to command the Great Jin Imperial Guards to move quickly.
However, in such a short period of time, the Great Jin Imperial Guards had already suffered heavy losses. They were already deep in the enemy's camp and were not as responsive to the commands from the tower of the Phoenix Castle as before.
The entire command system was in danger.
Huo Qubing did not dare to hesitate when he saw this. He immediately ordered the second legion of the Great Jin Imperial Guards to attack and rescue the first legion.
The Second Legion, which had long been in position, received the order and charged out without any hesitation.
The addition of a new force had a huge impact on the Great Zhou Dynasty's camp, especially since Huo Qubing had seen through the pattern of the enemy's formation. The Second Army advanced at lightning speed and was about to converge with the First Army.
Lian Po, who was watching from afar, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect the enemy's commander to be so skilled and be able to solve the mystery of the formation so quickly.
Lian Po had probably forgotten that there was a kind of genius in this world called the Heavenly Prodigy. There was no logic to it.
However, Lian Po wasn't someone who would give up easily. There were a total of 108 variations of this formation, so it wasn't something that could be easily seen through. Since the enemy did not give up, Lian Po would naturally accompany them to the end.
Both sides revolved around changing and breaking formations, starting a life and death battle.
Lian Po and Huo Qubing were like two peerless experts. Although they could not see each other, they used the battlefield as a medium. One of them kept attacking while the other countered. They were locked in battle.
If a military disciple who knew about formations were to see this, their eyes would definitely light up. Such an exciting formation battle might not even happen once in a lifetime.
As time passed, Huo Qubing sent out the Great Jin Imperial Guard's Third and Fourth Army. They completely turned the Great Zhou Dynasty's camp upside down.
The 600,000 strong army was in a mess.
Huo Qubing was a firm believer in using force to overcome tricks. No matter what kind of changes you had, in the face of absolute power, all tricks were like paper tigers that couldn't withstand a single blow.
The battle between the two armies seemed chaotic, but it was actually filled with hidden killing intent.
All of the imperial guards of the State of Jin were holding their breaths, and their morale was high. Meng Tian was commanding from within the formation, and the four armies were united. Outside the formation, there was a genius like Huo Qubing who was commanding.
There was a time when Lian Po thought that the formation he had painstakingly set up was going to be broken by the enemy. Fortunately, the Great Zhou Imperial Guard was not made of paper. Even in the entire Huaxia region, they were still top-notch elites.
Moreover, they had the geographical advantage. Lian Po wasn't really blind and was still as experienced as ever. Even though he was flustered by the enemy, he still managed to resist and defend this wave of attacks with great difficulty.
When the sun set, Huo Qubing finally gave the order to retreat.
This was Huo Qubing. He did things without any hesitation or hesitation. Since Meng Tian said that he wanted to find out the enemy's actual strength and took the initiative to fight the first battle, Huo Qubing did not feel any pressure at all when he commanded.
The entire afternoon, the Great Jin Imperial Guard's value was almost completely squeezed dry.
Even someone as brave as Meng Tian was exhausted after the battle. He finally had a clear understanding of Huo Qubing's style of doing things. This was a person who did not hold back when he spoke and did not know what it meant to be polite.
A rough estimate showed that in this battle alone, the Great Jin Imperial Guard had lost more than 20,000 people.
These were elite soldiers, and every single Imperial Guard was a valuable asset. Moreover, 20,000 of them had died in one battle. Anyone would feel heartache if they were placed in his shoes.
The Great Jin Imperial Guard had never suffered such a heavy loss before.
Riding on the blood-stained black warhorse, Meng Tian looked around at the tired but high-spirited men. Meng Tian suddenly smiled. This battle was really satisfying.
"No matter how big the sacrifice, it's always worth it," Meng Tian thought.
This time, in front of the valiant Great Zhou Imperial Guard, the Great Jin Imperial Guard had proven their valiance. They also proved to the world that the Great Jin Dynasty was not a pushover and definitely not a weakling who only knew how to follow behind the Great Xia.
When it was time to fight, they were willing to go all out.
When it came to fighting a tough battle, they were not careless either.
After this battle, the world's view of the Great Jin Army and the Great Jin Dynasty would probably change greatly.
…
The Great Zhou Army's camp was still on the high ground.
Under the setting sun, Old Lian Po's figure looked a little hunched. After all, time was unforgiving. Even so, the surrounding soldiers looked at this old general with reverence and worship in their eyes.
In the eyes of the Imperial Guard, Lian Po was the ageless god of war.
However, only Lian Po himself knew how thrilling this battle was. The array master in the enemy's formation was really terrifying. The more time passed, the easier it was for him to break through the array.
He felt that the array was no longer a secret to the other party.
"This is only the first day."
In front of the soldiers, Lian Po was still full of confidence. He raised his head and puffed out his chest calmly. However, deep in his heart, Old Lian Po was already worried and uneasy.
"Can we still persevere tomorrow?"
No one could answer.
