It was said that the original body of the so-called 'Golden Lock Array' was Zhuge Kongming's' Eight Diagram Array '. To put it bluntly, it was just a simplified version of the usage of the eight Diagram Arrays. According to legends, this' Eight Diagram Array 'was a formation created by Zhuge Kongming based on the speculations of the heavens and earth. It was a stone formation formed from rubble, and according to the Mysterious Gate Armor, it was divided into eight parts: rest, life, injury, Du, scenery, death, shock, and opening these eight doors.
In the future generations, very few people would be able to master this kind of array. However, there were definitely some experts who were proficient in array formations in future generations, searching for these array diagrams and promoting them. This resulted in some extremely similar and powerful array formations, and the 'Eight Golden Lock Formations' was one of the results.
Of course, very few people knew that the true Eight Diagram Array had existed since a long time ago. Gongsun Ztian was an expert in this field. During his many years on Earth, he had spent a lot of time and effort researching these long-lost arrays.
One of them had discovered the existence of the 'Windy Queen's Eight Array Formation'. This formation diagram had existed for many years earlier than when Zhuge Kongming was in this era. There were a total of nine array diagrams. One of them was the main diagram of the eight array formations while the other eight were the array formations: Heaven Shrouding Formation, Earth Carriage Formation, Windy Formation, Cloud Descending Formation, Soaring Dragon Formation, Tiger Wing Formation, Bird Soaring Formation and Snake Formation. Furthermore, there was a description next to every Diagram Array, detailing the tactical application of every formation to attack and retreat in a special environment.
According to historical records, the Wind Empress was a fierce general under the command of Yellow Emperor Xuan Yuan, and with this discovery, the history of the Eight Diagram Array was forcefully pushed forward by 2500 years.
Of course, these weren't the main focus of Gongsun Zaitian's attention. At that time, he could only be considered as a passerby in space and time. These things weren't important to him in the first place, and his main focus was on studying the 'Eight Arrays' and related array formations.
From his experience and experience in array formations, he could clearly see the wonders of this array. It was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, complemented by Yin and Yang, and was a unique and unique array. It was definitely not something that a human could create in a short span of a hundred years.
According to his deductions, it was either taught to the Queen of Wind by a very powerful formation master, or in the era that the Queen of Wind was in, those who were familiar with her, such as Yellow Emperor Xuan Yuan, Chi You, the Queen of Wind, Gonggong, Nuwa, and so on, could all be people like him, people who cultivated to become immortals, or even people who cultivated to become gods.
Of course, this conclusion could not be verified. After all, Gongsun Zaitian had yet to cross over to that era, so it was impossible for him to know the actual situation. However, to Gongsun Zaitian, being able to learn such an unparalleled divine formation was something worthy of being happy about. After all, such a Deity Tier Array was not something that could be encountered easily.
The 'Golden Lock Array' was not a true 'Eight Diagram Array', but it had been refined using many of the variations contained within the eight array diagrams. Although it was a simplified version, whether it was in terms of the flexibility to set up the array or the connection during the process of changing the array, there was a certain degree of improvement. However, in Gongsun Zaitian's opinion, this was enough!
According to Gongsun Ztian's request, the Bow Cavalry troops were originally replaced by the charging spearmen, while the archers in the formation of crossbows were all replaced, increasing the strength of both the Saber, Shield, Infantry and Lance Infantry.
With a series of orders from Gongsun Ztian, the ten thousand soldiers were divided into nine large formations. They were named Heaven, Earth, Wind, Cloud, Dragon, Tiger, Bird, Snake, and also the nine large formations that Gongsun Ztian was in. Of course, in terms of titles, they couldn't be called that. Gongsun Ze Tian had the following titles: Overcast, Landscape, Soaring Wind, Descending Clouds, Soaring Dragons, Tiger Wings, Soaring Bird, Snake Pan.
The central array was made up of two arrays, a total of sixteen arrays, and the other eight arrays were made up of six arrays each. The total number of nine arrays was eighty-four arrays, which was a total of eighty-four arrays.
In addition to the central array, the other eight array formations, the sky, earth, wind, and clouds were considered the 'Four Righteous Bestowals', while the dragons, tigers, birds, and snakes were considered the 'Four Oddities'.
Just like what had been mentioned before, the 'Eight Gates of Golden Lock Formation' was also laid down according to the Mysterious Gate Armor: Rest, Life, Injury, Du, Scene, Death, Shock and Opening. The number of changes was even more incalculable, even if one was proficient in array techniques, it was impossible for them to find the 'Life' Gate and leave smoothly at the first moment, and if they rashly broke into the 'Death' door, they would definitely die.
In addition, at the back of the formation, there were twenty-four arrays, each separated into twelve arrays, all formed by charging cavalry, after the eight arrays were activated, they would instantly circle around the formation in opposite directions, forming two circular rings, coincidentally forming a 'outer circle inner circle' with the eight arrays.
Someone once said that this formation was "a small formation, a large camp, a small camp, the corners and the hooks and the hooks and the twists and turns," and against the great formation's changes, it could be said that "the wonder is also righteous, but also a miracle, each poor to the other, the cycle is endless."
Although he had never practiced with the warriors of the Northern Army before, firstly, the situation was urgent, and secondly, he had also trained in a few basic formations. As long as they followed his orders, dealing with the 'Big Idiot Bear' would not be a problem.
"Do you still remember what I said before?" Gongsun Ztian looked at the 'Golden Lock Array' he had set up and then asked the soldiers in a clear voice.
"I remember!" Everyone answered in unison.
"Very good, but I still want to emphasize this." Very good, but I want to emphasize this. Those who retreat without permission will be killed! Do you hear me? " Gongsun Zaitian nodded his head, raised his voice by a few points, and spoke with a cold tone. Gongsun Ze Tian knew clearly in his heart that the most important thing about this battle was his mental endurance. If he was caught by the other party's momentum and was forced to retreat completely, he would lose without a fight.
However, Gongsun Ztian had to admit that facing the enemy's rapid charge that was akin to a steel fortress, the imposing force that was formed was a huge pressure that could topple mountains and overturn the seas.
However, Gongsun Zaitian had great confidence in his own 'Golden Lock Array'. It was said that he could defend against a hundred thousand elite soldiers, so how could he not be able to handle ten thousand men? Although Gongsun Ztian had never used this formation before, he had a good understanding of the formation's changes. As long as the formation remained in place, he could trap the opponent within.
"Yes!" The ten thousand soldiers roared in unison.
"Do you see the other side? This is also my first time fighting against special forces. Of course, all of you might have seen how terrifying the special forces of other empires are on the real battlefield, but what I want to tell you is, the array formation that I have set up, if it works properly, forget about ten thousand of them who only know how to use brute force. So, will you still feel fear? " Gongsun Ztian pointed at the heavy cavalry troops in the distance and slowly said, his tone changing again and again, from indifferent at the beginning to sharp at the end, and finally crazy at the end. With the progression of his tone, the entire army's aura once again surged up endlessly, everyone stared ahead with shining eyes.
They had already defeated their opponents once, so even if they lost this time they would be satisfied. But if they turned around and ran because of their opponents' power, then their previous victory would be in vain. So, they would rather lose than run, they would rather die and not retreat.
Everyone gritted their teeth as they stared into the distance and waited for the order. They had already gotten a miracle from Gongsun Zaitian, so why didn't a miracle happen a second time? At the very least, no one would question Gongsun Zaitian, because his commanding ability had already convinced them. They would listen to his commands as if they were following Situ Qingyun's.
"No way!" All the soldiers answered in unison.
"Then do you want to beat them up again?" Gongsun Ztian jokingly asked.
"Fight!" Like a tsunami, the Northern Army's aura exploded once again. Her battle consciousness was ignited, just like the first time, everyone was immersed in a berserk fighting intent.
"Old, tell those iron lumps on the opposite side that the competition can begin! This battle, we have to finish it quickly! " Gongsun Zaitian indifferently said to Cheng Qinglong who was beside him.
? ?.
While Gongsun Ztian was setting up the array, there were two groups of people who were watching without blinking.
The crowd outside the arena was once again whispering to each other.
"What is his setup? This could also be considered a 'formation'? What kind of use does this Ximen pine can have? "
"That's right. With just a single charge from Thunderclap's heavy cavalry, he would be able to completely destroy his opponent!"
From what I see, you don't even need to rush to the front of the enemy's formation. This round, we will definitely win! "
"..."
"Qing Yun, what do you think?" Cui Ziyi suddenly asked.
"This kid's thoughts have always been so wild and unrestrained. I don't think anyone would know what he's trying to do, much less I'm guessing what he's trying to do!" Situ Qingyun shook his head and replied.
"But from the looks of it, he seems to be planning to fight against Lei Sheng's heavy cavalry? Or was this guy crazy? Or maybe the formation in front of us has some sort of existence that we are not familiar with! " Cui Ziyi asked with some doubt.
"I prefer the latter!" Situ Qingyun pondered for a moment before replying.
"But there really isn't any difference. A few small groups in twos and threes can really withstand the charge of a heavy cavalry soldier?" Cui Ziyi said as he sized them up.
"I can't not know, but this kid always likes to create miracles!" Situ Qingyun shook his head, and said with a face full of hope.
"That's right, let's not randomly guess. After all, even if we guess a bit, we'll still be able to guess what it is. We might as well quietly watch and see what this brat actually wants to do!" Cui Ziyi nodded and agreed.
