    This battle is so different in the novel. The formation was supposed to be in a forest, as I recall and visibility was very low. Also, it was on a much larger scale so the enemy could not actually spot the formation. Whenever the charging cavalry wanted to exit the forest there would be pikes and shields guarding the exit. This was because the troops were all hidden within the trees and the lookouts would signal them with drums and flags.

      When you say "novel" are you referring to RoTK because if your are then all I can say at this time is that both are based on the historical events of the same period, however neither is based off of the other and are both maybe %50 accurate in their own rights.

      I came here solely just for a rant. Yes, i dont understand why the enemy armies politely and willingly entered the formation through the gap instead of just charging through the wall.
      I mean they are riding a literal horses and the shield wasnt even as high that could prevent horses from jumping over it.
      What made me more furious is that the enemy just taking a walk in the park after entering the formation. I mean why dodnt they even tried to fight the enemy which literally didnt do anything as well

    The scale of Chinese battles were often much larger than other cultures, life was cheap and a 10000 men is considered a small force but that is actually 2 full Roman legions in comparison to western counterparts. So that formation may span a huge distance and not easily seen by the enemy commanders. Also it is not easy to flank the army because of the distance, visibility, and the circular shape of the formation. A well trained force with good commanders and tacticians employing battle formations makes big differences, and during the warring years, all men were born soldiers. Its not an uncommon thing to have battle formations, happens all over the world. Just a few of these are more exaggerated.

    1. No, horses not crashing into a shield formation isn't a strange thing. Horses won't run into obstacles if they have a free way to go, like happens in this sequence. This tactic dates back to ancient egypt (actually first battle recorded in human history, Ramses II vs the hitites).
    2. Yes, this is most likely a lame depiction of what happened in reality. If not regarding the tactic itself, at least one could think that the horsemen would... You know... Attack them meanwhile waiting to see what happens.
    3. They don't attack because they are carrying swords. Straight swords. On fucking horseback. Good lord.
    Veredict: The basic tactic isn't magic at all. But empires of all periods of history (starting with the very same Ramses II that used this tactic for the first time) have greatly exaggerated their victories, to the point this looks way, way, way too effective on the chinesse part, and too moronic on the other guys (mongols? And they don't have bows?) part.

    They will send archers and artillery units first to that formation to soften them up. Followed by infantry charge. After the enemy is engaged, the cavalry will surround the outermost circle and do not going in. They will make sure nobody escape alive when the formation broke.

    yes, haven't watch the movie, and I'm sorry, I was reading comments and didn't see the spearmen; and what I said was the Greek turtle formation was more effective; and that shield formation was called trigrams formation; furthermore, when I said "use the infantry" meant using infantry to charged at the shields directly, 'cuz if not, they'd probably get stuck like the calvary. But what intrigued me was when the calvary was stuck, why didn't they call for backup?

      Pretty sure muskets back then also usually weren't powerful enough to shoot through someone and to stop the bullets bouncing off they'd have to get in close. Flintlock pistols were awful in this regard because they'd just put the barrel against someone's chest and fire to make sure it didn't just bruise.

But if you are hoping to see a more realistic depiction on the three kingdoms era in china that is more true to the source material of the novel "The Romance of Three Kingdoms" then may I suggest the original 1994 "Romance of Three Kingdoms" TV series. It is so true the source material of the novel that there and entire scenes taken from the book with dialog taken word for word. Just stay away from the 2010 remake of that TV series, that remake is even more cheesier that this video and far less entertaining.
