When the Red Shadow Army was almost fully trained, and it behaved like a regular team, Xu Xian actually let the Red Shadow Army practice the simplified version of the Eight Formations.
Three days later, Xu Xian said:
"Your formations have been rehearsed very well. How they perform in combat and whether they are just frivolous needs to be tested in actual combat.
There is a group of enemies three kilometers away from us. There are about a hundred people. I want you to destroy them.
My only request is that all of you come back alive.
Only by trusting your teammates and working together can you unleash the true power of the eight formations. "
In the method of eight formations, within one formation, two formations follow each other, one is fighting and the other is defending. The offense and defense need to cooperate with each other to double the power of the battle formation.
Xu Xian's training for more than half a month was to train the trust, courage and tacit understanding between the Red Shadow Army.
Everyone did a good job during the drill. The battlefield is going to be bloody. If fear spreads, the team will be broken up and the combat effectiveness will be instantly lost.
The only solution is actual combat. Victory can double everyone's confidence. As long as the Red Shadow Army believes that they are invincible, they can basically be invincible.
More than 500 people faced off against more than 100 people. Although everyone did not believe that everyone could escape unscathed, they also knew that this battle was not difficult.
Because of the relationship between strength and numbers, the Red Shadow Army practiced a simplified version of the eight entry-level formations. The power of heaven and earth that could be mobilized was limited, but it could still hide its whereabouts.
When more than 500 people fell from the sky, the Wuwei Army team of more than 100 people was completely panicked, and their combat effectiveness was reduced to the lowest. After dozens of people were killed, the others chose to surrender.
After this battle, the Red Shadow Army's fighting spirit increased, and the team was no longer as lifeless as before. The Red Shadow Army finally had its own fighting spirit.
In the next few days, a battle was fought every day, and the number of enemies selected gradually increased. The Red Shadow Army was invincible, and they swept all the way, and those who surrendered were collected.
After every battle, Xu Xian called everyone together to discuss the problems encountered on the battlefield and work out solutions together.
Xu Xian also emphasized that after fighting side by side and experiencing life and death, we are all brothers and must support each other to jointly create the miracle of destroying the Wuwei Army.
As for the reason for wiping out the Wuwei Army, it was because the Wuwei Army burned, killed, and looted all the way, bringing disaster to Shushan. The Red Shadow Army acted for heaven and saved all people from the fire and water.
At the beginning, everyone had reservations about Xu Xian's words, but they were bound by the oath and did not dare to violate it.
Until the battles were won one after another, the Red Shadow Army showed its spirit, and the recognition of the Red Shadow Army by the people who were rescued along the way also made the Red Shadow Army find the value of its existence.
When the people along the way brought food, they held the Red Shadow Army's hand tightly and exchanged tears with each other:
“We pray to gods and worship Buddha, but the gods and Buddhas in the sky cannot see our suffering or hear our cries.
It was Red Shadow who saved us and gave us new life. From now on, we will not worship gods and Buddhas, but only the Red Shadow Army. "
The Red Shadow Army has been recognized, and it is no longer the situation in the Wuwei Army where everyone shouted to fight. This recognition makes everyone excited, and they are even willing to pay their lives for it.
Some young adults from Shushan also joined the Red Shadow Army in order to protect their homeland.
When the number of the Red Shadow Army increased to one thousand, Xu Xian found a place far away from the main force of the Wuwei Army and began training for half a month.
With the leadership of veterans, the new members were quickly assimilated. After several battles with more and less, the team's fighting spirit was also tempered.
In order to minimize losses during military training, Xu Xian deliberately avoided the main force of the Wuwei Army.
More than a month has passed, and almost all the remaining Wuwei troops have gathered in Feng Zhiqian's team, and the total number has exceeded 20,000.
Although the Wuwei Army could not defeat the Liao Army, it was not without combat effectiveness. Their one-word long snake formation was also extremely powerful.
This formation is divided into three parts: the head of the formation, the tail of the formation, and the gallbladder (central Wuji soil).
When the formation changes, use both true and false.
The long snake formation is deduced based on the habits of snakes. There are three variations of the long snake formation.
1. Hit the snake's head, move its tail, and roll it;
2. Strike the snake's tail, move its head, and bite;
3. The snake's body collides sideways, reaching head to tail, and is twisted!
From these three changes, the long snake formation moves like a giant python attacking with fierce attacks!
The maneuverability of the two-winged cavalry (an army with strong mobility in ancient times) is the most important, so to break the long snake formation, the best way is to limit the maneuverability of the two wings so that the head and tail cannot see each other.
So, the best way is:
Seize his head, clamp his tail, chop his waist!
The detailed method is to set up traps in our infantry formations, use two infantry formations to cooperate to prevent the opponent's cavalry from moving on both wings, making it unable to exert its mobility and flexibility, and then use powerful heavy cavalry as the main force to launch a powerful attack on its snake-belly infantry. , making its formation scattered and disorderly!
Defeating the infantry phalanx in one fell swoop, the Long Snake Formation was cut into three pieces. As a result, the Long Snake Formation fought independently and could no longer cooperate with the three parties. The formation would collapse without an attack!
The truth is this, but Xu Xian only has a thousand Red Shadow Army who have not fought in a battle.
The Red Shadow Army comes from the Wuwei Army and the people of Shushan. Even if it has been trained by Xu Xian, after all, the training time is not long, and the improvement in strength is limited. It is difficult to face an enemy that is twenty times more powerful.
You can't defeat them with strength, you can only outsmart them.
Shushan is not a mountain, but a small world, with plains where mortals live. The more famous mountains include Mount Emei, Mount Qingcheng, and Zheduo Mountain.
Zheduo Mountain is the highest mountain with crisscrossing ravines covering hundreds of kilometers in radius. Due to the complex terrain, although Feng Zhiqian had nearly 20,000 powerful troops, he was unable to set up a long snake formation here that was enough to threaten the Red Shadow Army.
Xu Xian planned to choose the battlefield in Kaishan.
Because Li Ziqiong, Zhou Qingyun, and Ding Yin were scouting the road, they could discover the enemy's situation in advance and avoid the main force of the Wuwei Army in time.
Because there were eight formations to hide their whereabouts, the scouts of the Wuwei Army did not discover the existence of the Red Shadow Army.
However, if the Red Shadow Army wants to go to Zheduo Mountain, they need to cleverly avoid the Wuwei Army standing in the middle.
The Wuwei Army burned, killed, and looted in this area, but more than half of the army was still in a state of war preparation.
Li Ziqiong and Zhou Qingyun were completely angered by the atrocities committed by the Wuwei Army. In addition to saving as many people as possible, they also went on a killing spree.
After Xu Xian discovered that the two women could not contain their anger towards Wu Weijun, he said:
"I am also very angry about the brutal behavior of the Wuwei Army. Killing them with one sword is too cheap. They should be captured and tortured slowly, so that they can experience what life is worse than death."
Li Ziqiong and Zhou Qingyun are decent heroines who disdain to torture people, but they also feel that death is not enough to atone for the heinous evil deeds of the Wuwei Army.
Xu Xian does not regard himself as a chivalrous person. He acts based on right and wrong, unscrupulous and evil, and is the nemesis of Wuwei Army.
The two women have extraordinary strength. They come and go without a trace. As long as they don't fall into the long snake formation of the Wuwei Army, no one can trap them.
Half a day later, the two men came back dragging a carriage of the Wuwei Army.
Michelle Lee said:
"We combined the purple and green swords to become invisible. We went in a circle before returning. Everyone we met on the road were packed into the carriage, so no one could find our location."
Xu Xian also believed that the military army could not track the whereabouts of the two men, so for the sake of caution, he still asked the two men to go nearby to deceive.
After the two left, Xu Xian summoned the Red Shadow Army and said:
"We only have more than a thousand people, while the Wuwei Army has more than 20,000. There is a huge difference in strength. If you are asked to fight a tough battle with the Wuwei Army head-on, it will be tantamount to death.
My principle is to maintain our own strength as much as possible, minimize casualties, and try to achieve zero casualties.
Of course, killing all the Wuwei Army is not our goal. I want them to join the Red Shadow Army and strengthen our strength.
Therefore, I will teach you simple treatment methods first. "
After speaking, Xu Xian waved his hand, and several Red Shadow Army soldiers carried out a dying Wuwei Army member from the carriage.
Li Ziqiong and Zhou Qingyun hated the Wuwei Army's indiscretion of human life, and they were cruel. Although they did not kill them, their meridians were disabled, leaving only one breath.
"The attack was too harsh. He died after a short period of tossing."
Xu Xian sighed secretly in his heart.
