"We have more than five hundred people. We are considered a strong force and should have a resounding name."
Xu Xian muttered:
"How about we call it the Blood Shadow Army? This name is loud enough and domineering enough."
"No, this name is too bloody,"
Of course Ding Yin and those Wuwei troops had no problem, but Li Ziqiong and Zhou Qingyun immediately expressed their opposition.
Li Ziqiong and Zhou Qingyun have been following the team, but they did not take action.
At first, they wanted to persuade Xu Xian to let him suffer as little blood as possible and to be merciful and merciful, until they saw the tragic scene of the Wuwei army massacring the village.
They felt that the Wuwei Army did many evil things and killing them was a good deed, so they didn't say anything more.
Now, they just want to do their part and try their best to lead Xu Xian to the right path.
Xu Xian gave the army an evil name, and they would definitely stop it.
The name determines the direction of a team. If it is called the Blood Shadow Army, it will definitely become an army that does all evil in the end.
Xu Xian smiled and said:
"Why not? The words "Blood Shadow Army" are very majestic and frightening."
Zhou Qingyun said:
"But, it's not just enough. You might as well give it a just name."
Xu Xian said:
"How about calling it the Red Shadow Army?"
In fact, the two women are not very satisfied. They always feel that the Red Shadow Army is the Blood Shadow Army, but the bloody aura is more subtle.
Michelle Lee asked:
"Isn't there anything better?"
Xu Xiandao:
"Black Evil Army? Blood Evil Army? West Evil Army?"
Michelle Lee sighed:
"Why don't we call them Red Shadow Army?"
In this way, the Red Shadow Army was established as if it was child's play.
The current Red Shadow Army is just a bunch of miscellaneous troops with little combat effectiveness. They will definitely be vulnerable to a regular army.
The cold mechanical sound of the system rang in time:
"Congratulations to Su for having your own army. I will give you eight formation diagrams to help the host ride the wind and waves and rise to the top.
Warm reminder: The Red Shadow Army can only stay in Shu Mountain, and the host can summon it to Chu Kingdom for a short time based on merit. "
As the sound passed by, the marching formation secrets of the Eight Formations appeared in the system inventory.
This is the second time that Xu Xian has obtained eight formations, but the two times are different. The first time was just a formation that was automatically arranged in Xu Mansion, but this time it was a real enemy of ten thousand people.
With the art of defeating thousands of people, corresponding talents are needed to exert its power. Xu Xian only has a group of remnants of soldiers, and it is still difficult to refine them into usable soldiers.
With the eight formation diagrams, Xu Xian at least had a direction for refining his weapons, but it just needed time to settle.
The eight formations are named after heaven, earth, wind, cloud, dragon, tiger, bird and snake. Together with the Chinese army, there are nine formations in total.
The central army is composed of sixteen small formations, and the eight surrounding formations are each composed of six small formations, for a total of sixty-four small formations. Among the eight formations, the sky, the earth, the wind and the clouds are the "four righteousnesses", and the dragon (blue dragon), tiger (white tiger), bird (suzaku) and snake (tan snake) are the "four wonders". In addition, there are still twenty-four formations deployed at the rear for maneuverability.
The "Eight Formations" created by Zhuge Liang absorbed the arrangement and combination of Jingtian and Taoist Bagua, and was compatible with astronomy and geography. It was a rare combat formation in ancient times.
"The Genealogy of the Zhuge Family" by Shen Shen Tang contains poems and hymns about "the eight formations are so skillfully used that they are known as the eight formations."
Praise to the Heavenly Formation: The Heavenly Formation is sixteen, square on the outside and round on the inside, with the four winds rising. Its image is the sky, which is the master of the formation and the leader of the troops. Make good use of the three armies, and their shape will not be biased.
Praise for the Earth Formation: Twelve Earth Formations. They are square in shape, with clouds dominating the four corners. It is difficult to attack the enemy. Its body is unpredictable, its uses are endless, and it cannot be independent. It is matched with Yang.
Feng Yang Formation Praise: The wind has no formal shape, it attaches to the sky and changes into a snake. Its meaning gradually becomes mysterious. The wind can stir up things and surround them. The snakes can surround them and the three armies are afraid.
The praise of the cloud formation formation: Clouds attached to the ground are invisible at first, and turn into flying birds, and then their shapes are completed. The birds can stand out, the clouds can be dim, and they are ever-changing, with the sound of golden leather.
Praise for the Dragon Flying Formation: Heaven and earth rush behind each other, and the dragon transforms into it, with claws and feet, a back and a chest. The potential is unpredictable, the movement is infinite, the formation is impressive, and the name is dragon.
Tiger Wing Formation Praise: The heaven and earth rush forward and turn into tiger wings, and the tiger is about to fight, full of its power. When Huaiyin used it, it became Wuji. The gathering at Gaixia was unpredictable by Duke Lu.
Praise for the Bird Soaring Formation: When a bird of prey is about to fight, it must first soar. The force is approaching the sky, and the birds are hiding. When judged, there will be slander. If one man attacks, the three armies will not be able to do anything.
Praise to the Snake and Pan Formation: The wind is a snake and pan, attached to the sky and formed, surrounded by potential energy, and capable of bending and extending. Among the four wonders, it is adjacent to the tiger, and then it becomes a regular mountain, trapped head and tail.
The composition of the "Eight Formations Diagram" is based on the four realms of Qian Kun, Xun Gen, and the main formations of heaven and earth, serving as the main soldiers.
The northwest part is the dry land, and the dry part is the sky formation.
The one in the southwest is the land of Kun, and Kun is the formation of the earth.
The southeastern land is called Xunju, and the Xun people are called Wind Formation.
The land in the northeast is Genju, and Gen is the mountain, and the mountains and rivers are cloud formations.
Use water, fire, metal, and wood as the four strange formations of dragon, tiger, bird, and snake as a strange weapon.
The formation is composed of a blue dragon (formation) on the left, a white tiger (formation) on the right, a red bird (formation) in the front, and a basalt snake (formation) in the back, with the general in the middle.
The eight formations are arranged in the general formation, which is composed of the eighty-eight sixty-fourth formation, plus the 24th formation of the rangers.
The total formation consists of 32 formations of Yin and Yang, 24 formations of Yang and 24 formations of Yin.
There are 24 formations of the rangers. After the 60th formation, all the marching, formation, joint fighting, setting up suspicions, filling vacancies, and logistics are all done by the rangers.
There are hymns praising the incomparable power of the "Eight Formations":
"Formation between formations, formations between formations; the former is the rear, the future is the forward; there is no speed to advance, no rush to retreat; four heads and eight tails, the first is the one in contact; when the enemy rushes into it, save both ends; the strange and the right are mutually reinforcing, and the cycle Unprovoked; corresponding from beginning to end, hidden and unpredictable; predicting events like a god, adapting to circumstances."
"The method of eight formations, within one formation, two formations follow each other, one fights and one defends; the internal and external weights, the hardness and softness, each other's virtuality and reality, the host and the guest, the longitude and latitude change, just because of the basic cause, the odd cause advances, and the multiple causes interact, Logistics guarantee.”
Although he had eight formations, Xu Xian did not immediately let the Red Shadow Army practice.
The courage to not back down when facing the enemy, the confidence in teammates, and the execution of orders are the keys to determining whether the Red Shadow Army can fight.
The Chu army valued culture over military affairs and had been weak for a long time. The Chu army was famous for being unable to fight.
Hundreds of thousands of Chu troops faced tens of thousands of Liao troops, and the Chu army would definitely be defeated.
Because the Chu army did not have enough confidence in its teammates. When fighting, everyone thought that their teammates would run away. Without confidence and fighting ability, they would be defeated in one blow.
The members of the Red Shadow Army are all martial arts troops. If the Red Shadow Army is to be able to fight, it is definitely not enough to be bound by an oath, but also requires comprehensive training.
The Eight Formation Diagram is more powerful. If the troops deployed in the formation have no combat effectiveness, they will not be able to exert the true power of the battle formation.
Xu Xian's first step in training the Red Shadow Army was modern military training.
"Stand at attention, take a rest, stand astride, turn to the left, turn back, and walk in unison."
Xu Xian conducted simple military training on more than 500 Wuwei troops every day, while Li Ziqiong, Zhou Qingyun, and Ding Yin served as scouts and were sent out to investigate the enemy's situation.
It has been more than half a month since the Wuwei Army came to Shushan. Feng Zhiqian and other generals must have gathered a relatively large army, even more than ten thousand people.
Shushan did not have eight formations to suppress the battle formation. Xu Xian, with more than 500 people, could only be crushed when they met Feng Zhiqian's army of 10,000 people.
However, if a large force did appear, it would be easy for the three scouts to detect it unnoticed based on their cultivation.
Chu State is relatively chaotic. If Xu Xian wants to promote modern medical skills in Chu State, he needs to have his own power so that he will not be plotted by others like his father Xu Tianyou.
The stronger the Red Shadow Army is, the stronger Xu Xian's ability to protect himself will be. Therefore, Xu Xian is training his army seriously.
Those former members of the Wuwei Army who were forced to swear an oath to join the Red Shadow Army were dissatisfied with the fact that Xu Xian made them perform repetitive and useless actions such as standing at attention, standing astride, resting, turning left, turning right, and walking in unison all day long.
Because they are bound by the oath, any hostility against Xu Xian will lead to punishment from heaven. Their dissatisfaction can only bring pain, and the training in the past few days was full of screams.
After a few days, everyone adjusted their emotions and got used to it, and the training became more impressive.
Xu Xian also conducted intensive training based on the orderliness of the team and the consistency of movements.
Although this training is simple, it is training the orders and prohibitions of the Red Shadow Army.
Then, it’s about training trust in your teammates.
Xu Xian found a steep slope three meters high and said:
"You work in pairs, hold your knees with your hands, and take turns jumping down. The person below should catch the person who jumps.
If you can't catch it and your teammates are injured, no one will catch you when you jump.
This training is called giving life to teammates, and it is to train everyone's trust in teammates. "
After several days of training, everyone knows that they must do whatever Xu Xian says. The consequences of violation will not only be punished by the oath, but will even be dealt with by Xu Xian under military law.
In this training, everyone has a tacit understanding that they would rather be injured themselves than try their best to catch the players.
During the training process, although some team members suffered minor injuries, the overall performance was quite good.
In the following daily drills, the project of trusting teammates has become a task that must be completed every day.
