Zhao Yi raised a finger and said: "It's very simple. Since we are all soldiers, we should compete in combat skills. In this way, General Gan also saw it. I only have ten people, and you also choose ten people. We will compete in small groups to fight. Then How about a one-on-one fight?"
"Ten people versus ten people? Okay, I'll compete with you!"
Gan Ning looked at the soldiers behind him with a proud look on his face and said loudly: "We Jiangdong warriors, whoever is willing to compete with them should stand up now!"
Hearing that they were going to compete with the ten men led by Zhuge Liang, Jiangdong's soldiers were all gearing up, and dozens of them stood up and cheered.
"Very good, but I only want ten people, you, you, and you, you guys stay."
Gan Ning reached out and nodded at a few soldiers. Judging by their temperament, they all seemed to be veterans.
These ten people stood in front of Zhao Yi's ten men, looking very proud, for no other reason than that the people on Zhao Yi's side were instantly reduced to scum by the Jiangdong soldiers in terms of appearance, figure, and temperament.
"In order to avoid casualties, we will use bamboo poles, wooden sticks, wooden swords and wooden shields instead of weapons. Get ready now. When I call start, whichever side falls to the ground will be considered a failure. Otherwise, it will be considered a victory."
Zhao Yi told the rules, and everyone had no objection. They each took bamboo poles, wooden swords and other objects of different lengths and stared at their "enemy".
"Start now~~~~!"
Seeing that both sides were ready, Zhao Yi announced the start of the competition.
The ten veterans from Jiangdong looked like they had been on the battlefield for a long time. After the competition started, everyone rushed forward with weapons in their hands and yelled "kill". They were full of momentum.
Looking at the ten people on Zhao Yi's side, they formed a strange square formation.
"Huh~ Ten people also want to organize a formation? With fewer people, who is more brave and who is less afraid of death can win. Military formations require close cooperation between multiple arms, and only when the commander is in danger can he show his full potential. Its greatest advantage, Mr. Zhuge, you are a bit too childish."
Gan Ning showed his disdain when he saw the simple formation of ten people on Zhao Yi's side.
Zhao Yi just smiled slightly. His ten-man formation came from the "Mandarin Duck Formation" created by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in the Ming Dynasty.
This formation originally used eleven people as a combat unit, but this time Zhao Yi did not join, only ten of his men.
The biggest feature of this formation is its flexibility. Under normal circumstances, two shield bearers are at the front to cover the spearmen at the rear. There are two shorthands at the rear to fill in. They can replace the spearmen when they are tired. To attack, you can also defend from the rear to prevent enemies from sneaking around behind the formation and attacking.
Although this time it was just a discussion and no real weapons were used, the great thing about Yuanyang Formation is its many changes. With slight changes, it can be transformed into "Liangyi Formation", "Da Sancai Formation", and "Xiao Sancai Formation" "Etc., this formation has been tested in actual combat for a long time, and can be said to be the pinnacle formation in the era of combining hot and cold weapons.
As a special forces soldier of the Marine Corps, Zhao Yi also studied the formations of the cold weapon era, and Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck formation was exactly the formation he used to train his men.
While Jiangdong's ten soldiers tried to use their momentum and momentum to disperse them all, Hu Biao and Qian Zhuang, the strongest men on Zhao Yi's side, put up wooden shields to block the front.
They blocked the long sticks thrust at them randomly by their opponents, while Ma Liu, who was following them, led the rest of the men to thrust out the long sticks from the top of the crouching shield hand. There were screams for a while, although both sides stopped. He started to fight, but it was still uncomfortable to be poked in the face with a long stick. At that moment, several Jiangdong soldiers turned black-eyed.
"What? This formation has some tricks..."
Gan Ning's ability to lead troops in battle was not weak, and soon he saw the mystery of the mandarin duck formation. He roared loudly and asked Jiangdong soldiers to go around to the rear and attack.
Several uninjured Jiangdong soldiers heard their general's roar, put away their contempt, and began to circle back. However, as soon as they met, several of them were knocked down, and the mandarin duck formation changed again. The ten people who were originally gathered together suddenly dispersed to the two wings. The soldiers holding long sticks took advantage of the number of people to attack the smaller ones. Two or three long sticks poked one person from Jiangdong at the same time, making him unable to defend himself and falling to the ground in pain again.
The two sides only met each other, and six people on the Jiangdong side fell to the ground and wailed. Zhao Yi's ten men were still standing well, with only minor injuries.
Seeing this situation, the remaining four people already wanted to retreat, but when they came into contact with Gan Ning's cannibalistic gaze, they trembled and rushed into the opponent's crowd. Of course, they ended up being beaten. Beaten all over the head.
"Haha~ General Gan, how are you? Don't underestimate my ten-man formation."
Gan Ning's face turned green and white. He glared at the soldiers who were helped back and cursed "useless things" in a low voice. Then he said: "Although this formation is clever, it will not work in a water battle." But it doesn't play a big role. The strength of individual soldiers is sometimes the key factor that determines the outcome on the battlefield."
Zhao Yi smiled and stretched out his hand and said: "Okay, then please ask General Gan to find a soldier, and let's try our individual strength."
"You come!"
Gan Ning pointed to a tall soldier with a sinister face and asked him to take charge of the competition.
"It's the general! Within three moves, he will make his opponent kneel down and beg for mercy!"
The big man clenched his fists and stepped forward with a grin. Looking at the ten people under Zhao Yi, none of them could reach the chin of the big man. To the naked eye, they looked like an adult bullying a child, as if the outcome had already been determined.
Zhao Yi still looked like he had pearls of wisdom in his hands, casually waved his hand and said: "Ma Liu, teach our friend what it means to be modest and how to respect guests."
"Haole Military Advisor~"
Ma Liu, who seemed to be thin and slightly hunched, stood in front of the Jiangdong man. He was a little different in height and width, as if the other man could send him flying with a slap.
Gan Ning felt that he should be sure of it this time, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Zhuge, don't blame me, our Jiangdong soldiers are all so powerful."
"Haha~ Being too tall is sometimes not necessarily an advantage in battle."
Gan Ning sneered at Zhao Yi's statement. He believed that the winner of this match could be decided in the blink of an eye.
"Let's get started, what are you waiting for?"
At Gan Ning's order, the Jiangdong man roared, opened his arms and pounced on Ma Liu. His posture was like a tiger pouncing on its prey, a lion and a rabbit trying their best.
Looking at Ma Liu, he seemed to have no intention of fighting back, and seemed to have given up resistance.
Jiangdong's big man was delighted when he saw this. He raised his casserole-sized fist and punched forward with a roar.
But just when he was about to hit the opponent, Ma Liu leaned back. When the strength of the big man's punch had almost dissipated, he wrapped his arms and legs upwards, and his whole body was hung on the big man Jiangdong's body. on the arm.
Yes, this is why Zhao Yi focuses on training their one-on-one fighting skills - grappling, strangulation, and various trivial skills.
In an unarmed fight, how can the party without the advantage in size or strength quickly subdue the enemy? Then the answer seems to be joint acrobatics.
At this moment, Ma Liu was holding the opponent's arm and wrapping his legs together, using the cross-bar.
The crossbar is one of the most classic joint submission techniques used in grappling. This technique subdues the opponent by overextending the elbow joint. Once the action is formed, there is basically no possibility of breaking it.
The big man from Jiangdong was suddenly hugged by a guy who looked like he could kill ten people with one punch. He was quite puzzled. It wasn't until severe pain came from his elbow joint that he realized that he had been careless.
"ah--!"
Jiangdong's big man was restrained at the joints by Ma Liu, and he fell to the ground with a painful plop. He tried to break free but couldn't use the strength at all. Big beads of sweat instantly covered his forehead.
Seeing this, Ma Liu hugged his arm and said, "How is it? Do you admit defeat? Brother, if you don't admit defeat, you won't be able to save your arm."
To be honest, the big man wanted to admit defeat, but Gan Ning's livid face made the word "admit defeat" roll around in his mouth before being swallowed back into his stomach.
"Recognize...recognize your grandma's legs!"
Hearing the other party's harsh answer, Ma Liu sighed softly and raised his body with a little force. With a "Gaba" sound, the big man's right arm was declared dislocated and he lay on the ground wailing uncontrollably.
"What? How is this possible?"
Even if Gan Ning was beaten to death, he would not have thought that even if a small group was caught off guard by the strange formation, why would those who fought against them alone lose their ability to resist in a single encounter.
That strange posture actually broke the big man's arm with one move. Where did Zhuge Kongming learn these military training methods? It is simply unheard of and unseen!
