| Name | Ryuudou |
| Type | Tactical Formation |
| Used by | Go Hou Mei Ri Boku |
The Ryuudou (eng. Flow), also known as the Ryudoryoku (eng. Flow Power Skill), is a defensive military tactic that requires a highly trained army and a skilled military commander to perform it.
Description[]
As observed from higher position, the formation looks like the surface of a flowing river with leaves that ride on it with the attacking armies representing the leaves. The scattered clumps of soldiers work like rocks that meticulously divert the flow according to the general's wishes, thus managing to split the attackers into smaller groups and drive them away from the HQ.
Story[]
Coalition Invasion Arc[]
Right before the Battle of Kankoku Pass, during the early clash between Duke Hyou and the Wei Army, Go Hou Mei attempted to use this technique but Duke Hyou halted his advance before the Wei General could fully utilize the tactic. Seeing this impressed Go Hou Mei
On the 20th day of the Battle of Kankoku Pass, Ri Boku used the Ryuudou against Duke Hyou during the Battle of the Southern Path to split a part his forces. However, the Duke was able to conquer this tactic using only his instincts as he penetrated the Ryuudou with a few dozen soldiers by using his flags as bait. While the Duke was ready to take Ri Boku's head the Zhao general had positioned his fellow Great Heaven, Hou Ken as his personal bodyguard. The Duke and the Bushin would duel each other while his soldiers went after Ri Boku.
Strengths & Weaknesses[]
Usually, the commander needs a high vantage point to make this technique possible. But Ri Boku is able to see the entire field while at ground level. The more the enemy tries to close in on the defenders HQ, the stronger the flow becomes. Here and there the defenders scatter defensive placements that go against the flow and split it up, splitting the enemy forces into two.
