After a while, Wang Ba couldn’t help but speak, “What kind of formation are you talking about… What is it?”
“Marching and formations, commanders should learn how to use troops and arrange formations. Formation arrays change and adapt according to Qimen Dunjia. It’s a long story, but the current formation…”
“What?” Shitou asked.
“It’s not a military formation, just a simple Bagua formation.” He Yan answered.
She really didn’t understand why there was suddenly a formation here. There was no such thing when they went up the mountain, and Wang Xiaohan and the others didn’t encounter it either. It seemed to be prepared specifically for them, or perhaps for her, but why exactly?
“Can you… get out of it?” Jiang Jiao stared at her and asked.
“Of course.”
Now, even Huang Xiong was surprised, “You know this too?”
He Yan smiled faintly, “I have a basic understanding.”
Her “basic understanding” usually meant she was quite knowledgeable. Everyone was speechless. He Yan knew that there must be observers hidden around the mountain, watching their every move. Her words and actions at this moment were definitely being monitored. She couldn’t show any signs of “inadequacy.”
Perhaps Xiao Jue deliberately set up this formation to test her skills? After all, they had never seen a scenario where they had to both capture the flag and break the formation. It seemed that entering the Nine Banner Battalion wasn’t a simple matter. If everyone in the Nine Banner Battalion could break formations, then the camp was truly extraordinary. Xiao Jue had this elite cavalry, no wonder he was invincible in battle.
Thinking this, she said, “Follow me. Walk as I walk, but don’t make a wrong step.”
He Yan was rarely this serious, and Jiang Jiao and the others immediately became cautious, following her steps as they slowly descended the mountain.
While walking, Huang Xiong asked, “Brother He, who did you learn this from?”
He Yan laughed, “From a master.”
“I thought so,” Huang Xiong nodded, “Your master must be an exceptional master. Otherwise, how could you know everything?”
He Yan lowered her head and smiled without answering. In fact, Flying Phoenix General’s bravery on the battlefield was not rare. The world was never lacking fearless heroes. Although she was skillful, she couldn’t reach the level of being the best in the world, nor could she single-handedly fight against numerous opponents. Flying Phoenix General’s greatest strength lay in strategy and formations.
Her master was truly an exceptional master, but as a woman, she couldn’t match up to men in terms of physical strength and physique. People needed to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. Learning tactics and formations would give her more versatility than engaging in direct combat on the battlefield. Her master excelled in Qimen Dunjia, and she combined that knowledge with military strategy, eventually becoming the renowned Flying Phoenix General.
Generals should learn tactics and formations, but why did the people in the Nine Banner Battalion need to learn this? He Yan couldn’t figure it out, couldn’t find a clue, so she could only put it aside for now and continue walking down the mountain. She could have broken the formation right there, destroying it, but she couldn’t be sure if this formation was prepared for her. What if it was intended for someone else? If she destroyed it without reason, what would happen to those who came after?
