It is very effective against a conical cavalry array. Because the flying geese array can form an attack surface on both sides of the enemy, which is very conducive to the play of shooting weapons.

According to the records in Sun Tzu's Art of War, the cone array is a battle formation with forwards like cones, and it is a forced assault array. Not brave generals and elite attack force can't use it. SHEN WOO, Gao Aocao and Dou Taixi all used this array. Because both of them are brave and mostly cavalry.
