My favourite tactics and strategies used in Kingdom [THREAD]
The strategical aspect is really one of my favorite parts in Kingdom and the heart and soul of the story. it's really a shame that so many fans choose to overlook this even though Hara puts such a great emphasis on strategies and tactics throughout the whole story.
Kyoukai's Gouriki:
Counter/defensive tactic to stop the momentum of a cavalry or war charriot by forming a wall of shields and dead bodies (against Wei). Later improved by Kyoukai were it could be used through multiple interlinked formations, called the Chained Gouriki.

Not really a strategy worth mentioning but gonna include it anyway because it's raw as hell

Ouki's vs Fuuki at Bayou:
Simple strategy and a slight gamble on Ouki's part but great regardless. Ouki completely toyed with Fuuki, sacrificing almost all his left wing to move troops of the Zhao's army and letting the mere 100-Man HSU kill Fuuki while using a smart distraction

HSU/Gyoku Hou/Gaku Ka vs Rinko:
Mouten noticed the importance of Rinko's elite soldiers and proposed a plan to take them out while opening a path for Shin and Ouhon to slay Rinko. He choosed the perfect spots to attack and drew out Rinko's soldiers at the perfect time

Genpou vs Qin centre army:
He used smoke on the battlefield and then let arrows rain while confussing the Qin soldiers with sound, then he prepared some traps for horses if some of them managed to come close to him. Perfect plan

Ousen/Mougou vs Renpa:
A fortress is used as an defensive tactic. It consists of âtransformingâ the natural landscape into an impregnable fortress. Being able to incorporate fort construcation into tactics is considered one of the most difficult tasks.

Shouheikun vs Coalition Army:
He drew the Coalition army deep into Qin and made them battle in a good defensible position. He also cut off the coalition army's supply routes by making sure the armies of all Qin cities remain in their "zones" to reform outer defense lines.
