Thirty Eight - Formation: Bow First II (Reclining Dragon, Turtle's Shell)

"Suzuki, how about this?"
"Oh I have seen this quite a lot. This is the famous Turtle's Shell formation. It is the bane of Bait Tactics!"
"Indeed. The formal name of this formation is Reclining Dragon. It is very hard to draw out enemy units if they are all well protected by first-line bow units. It takes a lot of skills and courage to draw out the units from the BACK of the enemy formation."
"My lord, I know you did this to the Chosokabe in the second battle of Iyo."
" Yes that's why I said that."
"Ok... Wouldn't the Cavalry respond, though? They are in the back."
"Yes. We have to be careful that this will draw out the Cavalry. Get the yari infantry ready!"
