Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Lingyan also used formations on the battlefield this time.

This is a powerful, complex, and profound formation that no one has ever seen before.

It is called the Qiankun Eight-Level Formation.

As the war drums sounded, Lingyan gave the order, and the soldiers of the Great Zhao Dynasty quickly sprang into action.

Following Lingyan's instructions, they arranged themselves into formation in an orderly manner.

This formation is unique and mysterious. When viewed from above, it resembles a huge, mysterious pattern, radiating a powerful aura.

In terms of layout, it is octagonal, with the eight directions guarded by the elite troops of the Great Zhao.

Each direction is connected by a complex network of trenches and ramparts.

These trenches varied in width and depth, some reaching a person's height, while others were shallow enough to only hinder the enemy's advance.

The fortifications were constructed of sturdy boulders and thick wooden stakes, high enough to obscure the enemy's view and prevent them from seeing the full extent of the defenses.

The outer perimeter of the formation was a protective barrier made of sharp wooden stakes.

The sharpened end of the wooden stake points outward, like countless sharp swords, deterring any enemy troops attempting to approach.

Between the wooden stakes, strong ropes were wrapped around them, with bells hanging from the ropes.

Once the enemy touches it, it will make a crisp sound, alerting the Dazhao soldiers in the formation.

Once inside the formation, the passages crisscross, seemingly without any pattern, but in fact, they conceal hidden secrets.

Some passages are wide and straight, seemingly shortcuts to pass through quickly, but at the end of these passages, there are often hidden ambush troops of the Great Zhao.

When the enemy rushes into the passage without warning, the ambush troops will suddenly appear and catch the enemy off guard.

Some passages are narrow and winding, with small holes covering the walls on both sides.

These small holes can be used to shoot arrows, throw stones, and other projectiles, making it difficult for enemy troops traveling through the passage to defend themselves.

At the core of the formation, there is a high platform.

On the high platform, Lingyan held a command flag and calmly observed the situation on the battlefield.

Around the high platform was a group of soldiers responsible for relaying information.

They used flag signals, bugles, and other means to quickly convey Lingyan's instructions to troops in all directions.

The power of this formation also lies in its flexibility.

Troops in all directions can quickly adjust their positions to form new defensive or offensive formations based on the enemy's direction of attack.

For example, when the enemy attacks from the east, the troops in the east can hold their positions, while the troops in the south and north can quickly move towards the east to form an encirclement.

Meanwhile, the troops in the west and east can take the opportunity to launch attacks from the enemy's rear, disrupting their formation.

In addition, the trenches and barriers in the formation can be modified as needed.

At critical moments, trenches can be filled in to allow troops to pass quickly; barriers can also be pushed down to form obstacles and block the enemy's advance.

Therefore, when the allied forces of Northern Li and Southern Xinjiang broke into the Qiankun Eight-Level Formation, they immediately fell into chaos.

Soldiers from both allied forces lost their way in the complex passageways, unsure of which way to go.

Some soldiers mistakenly entered the trap area and were injured by the spikes hidden underground; others were surrounded by the suddenly appearing Da Zhao ambush troops and were trapped in a desperate situation.

The allied commanders attempted to organize a counterattack, but in the chaos, their commands could not be effectively communicated.

The allied forces of the two countries looked at the strange formation of the Zhao army and were filled with doubt and unease.

They had never seen such a bizarre formation before and were at a loss for how to deal with it.

The allied generals looked at each other, trying to find a solution, but they were completely helpless.

This formation was like an impregnable fortress, tightly protecting the soldiers of the Great Zhao.

When the enemy launched a probing attack, they found themselves trapped in a huge snare.

The Zhao soldiers in the formation cooperated seamlessly, attacking and defending in an orderly manner, causing the allied forces' attacks to fail time and time again.

Within the core area of ​​the formation, Lingyan kept a close eye on every change on the battlefield.

She conveyed instructions to the soldiers through flag signals and bugle calls, maximizing the power of the formation.

Therefore, under Lingyan's command, the soldiers of Dazhao launched an orderly attack on the enemy.

They used the advantages of their formation to divide and surround the enemy forces, defeating them one by one.

Each attack was precise and powerful, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy.

Under the immense power of the Qiankun Eight-Level Formation, the allied forces of Beili and Nanjiang were powerless to resist and could only be slaughtered by the soldiers of Dazhao.

As the battle progressed, the allied forces became increasingly bogged down.

Their soldiers lost their way in the formation and were divided and surrounded by the Da Zhao soldiers, with no power to fight back.

As a result, the morale of the allied forces gradually declined, and fear and despair spread in their hearts.

The soldiers of the Great Zhao were in high spirits, like tigers descending from the mountain.

Each attack struck the vital points of the allied forces with unerring accuracy, inflicting heavy losses on both sides.

On the battlefield, the shouts of battle shook the heavens and the earth.

The Dazhao soldiers launched a fierce attack on the allied forces like an unstoppable torrent.

The allied forces of the two countries suffered repeated defeats, with countless casualties.

The generals of Beili and Nanjiang were filled with helplessness and regret as they looked at the tragic scene before them.

This formation was like an unbreakable curse, plunging them into an abyss of despair.

Therefore, the result is self-evident.

They were basically wiped out in this battle.

Moreover, after this battle, the morale of the allied forces of the two countries plummeted to an unprecedented level.

The Great Zhao Dynasty was truly terrifying!

That formation was simply hell!

No one who goes in ever comes out alive!

A full 100,000 people!

Just like that, they were all wiped out because of a single formation!

Therefore, many soldiers had reached the peak of their fear of the Great Zhao.

Driven by this fear, the Great Zhao army swept through the enemy lines with unstoppable momentum, recapturing the seven cities they had occupied like an iron-blooded force.

They also captured some cities in the Northern Li and Southern Xinjiang regions.

There are eleven in Beili.

Including those previously occupied, thirty cities have now fallen into the hands of the Great Zhao.

There are ten in southern Xinjiang.

In this battle, the army of Da Zhao was truly a fierce and valiant force, growing stronger with each battle.

Such achievements in just two months are both astonishing and awe-inspiring.

General Gao also died in the battle.

The soldiers on the Zhao side hated him to the core.

It was he who besieged General He, causing him to die from being pierced by ten thousand arrows.

And to desecrate his corpse in this way even after his death.

So after his death, the soldiers of Dazhao were finally able to vent their anger.

At the same time, he silently said in his heart: General He, rest in peace, we have avenged you!

Princess Jiu also won the respect and recognition of many soldiers during this period of battle.

Because she never used her status to oppress others, and treated them equally with the soldiers.

Whenever he saw the soldiers, he would greet them with a smile, which earned him a lot of goodwill.

In addition, she is not the pampered type. No matter how hard or tiring it was, she always persevered and never complained.

Not to mention her exceptional martial arts skills, which made her invincible on the battlefield, leaving no enemy soldiers alive.

The soldiers in the army admired strength, and since the Ninth Princess was so capable, they would naturally acknowledge and respect her from the bottom of their hearts.

It wasn't because of her status as the Ninth Princess, but simply because of who she is.
