Everyone practiced this boring movement for days on end.

Even under Li Xingzhou's strong suggestion, a shield and a barrier knife were added to the back.

These shields are more than a person tall, and when lined up, they can form a huge protective net.

With this layer of protection, the gunner can safely perform a stabbing action from behind.

It's just that the gap between the shields is narrow, and the gun wielder needs to practice the accuracy of the stab.

Without a shield, a knife hand is hidden, so you don't have to get through the net.

Once the shield is broken, the Blade Breaker can unceremoniously slash it.

Li Xingzhou believed that this kind of spear formation would have the upper hand in infantry engagement, and if it encountered cavalry, it would have to use another method.

That is, the shield is in front, the hook gun is behind, and the knife holder is responsible for killing the enemy, but in the face of cavalry, the shield must be made bigger.

After the spearmen were able to skillfully penetrate the gaps in the shields, Li Xingzhou started the next training, with multiple squads cooperating.

Each squad consciously formed a circle, with twenty shields on top of the outermost edge, the knifeman crouched behind the shieldman, and the pikeman was always ready to stab.

Slowly, forty small circular arrays were formed on the entire training ground, and each circular array was separated by a distance of three zhang from each other, so that they could rush to each other's aid.

And most importantly, all circular arrays are not fixed and are moving from moment to moment.

Although shieldmen do not rotate, they can still follow orders to move forward and backward.

That is to say, the entire large array is alive, and as long as there is a need, you can command this circular killing array to go anywhere.

Defense and offense can never be separated, and blind defense on the battlefield will never work.

Li Xingzhou in his previous life did not serve in the army, but he had never eaten pork and never seen a pig run?

I have participated in military training a few times.

"Soldier Assault" and "My Regiment Commander, My Regiment" have been watched a few times.

Array drills are not easy, and it can take a lot of effort to just move consistently.

Li Xingzhou was very troubled.

The soldiers also trained hard.

Start trail running every day.

During the day, he had to practice the array and various movements, and at night, he had to endure Li Xingzhou's shameless midnight emergency assembly.

It can be said that all the soldiers were a little nervous during this time.

Now the soldiers really want to vomit blood, and the whole body has not done anything except to vent or vent, except for training, sleeping and eating.

This Master Li said that he would practice until you vomit blood, and he was really not joking.

Li Xingzhou and Yan Shun and other generals of Zuo Wuwei.

Standing on a high place and looking at the large circular array that was constantly changing positions on the training ground, everyone looked very carefully.

"Master Li, is this circular array really powerful?"

Lin Yun didn't believe how powerful such an array could be, it looked like a few small circles.

Lin Yun was confident that as long as he was given a little time, he could easily extinguish this broken formation.

It's just that I don't dare to say these words openly, no matter how I say it, I have to save some face for Mr. Li.

"You don't believe it? So, Brother Lin, how about we make a bet? ”

Li Xingzhou turned his head and said easily.

"Bet? Mr. Li, what are you going to do? ”

When Lin Yun heard the bet, he was immediately interested.

"It's very simple, you lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to attack my circular array, as long as you can break my circular array, even if you win, otherwise I won.

How about the loser, inviting everyone to have a good meal? ”

Li Xingzhou's face was confident, he believed that his large array could completely resist several times the number of troops.

One or two thousand people? It's completely all-you-can-eat.

"Master Li, you're underestimating me Lin Yun!"

"Okay, I agreed to this bet, Master Li, you can prepare the money, I will definitely be able to break this big array!"

Lin Yun looked at this circular large array with disdain, as if this large array was like a chicken and a dog in his eyes.

"Brothers, you have to be a witness!"

"When the time comes, if Brother Lin cheats, you have to make the decision for me!"

As soon as Li Xingzhou's words were finished, Lin Yun's eyes widened.

Isn't this obviously sarcastic, is he Lin Yun the kind of person who doesn't keep his word?

"Brother Yan, who do you think will win?"

Guo Shiheng, the general of the eleventh prefecture, attached to the soldiers who managed the five battalions of Zuo Wuwei, and he also had a little study of warfare, and he talked about it with Yan Shun beside him.

"Brother Guo, I think Master Li will win!"

"Master Li? Why, General Lin has a thousand soldiers! ”

"I don't know, I always feel that this circular array is not that simple, but I can't say the specifics!"

Yan Shun could faintly feel what was contained in this big array.

But he couldn't figure out what it was, but he should be able to see something when he competed.

Li Xingzhou and Lin Yun's competition is not small.

Even Liu Renliang knew about this incident, and specially instructed both parties not to harm human life.

Li Xingzhou and Lin Yun have already prepared for this, the gun is a wooden stick without a gun head, and the knife is also wooden, both of which are dyed with red paint on the weapon, as long as the body is hit, the red side Lin Yun's logo will appear, which means that he is killed, and he has to automatically withdraw from the battle.

The time of the competition was scheduled for the next day, and the location was on the grassland west of Luoyang City.

What Li Xingzhou didn't expect was that a group of bigwigs actually came on the day of the competition.

Di Renjie, Lu Yuanfang, Lou Shide, the three prime ministers, Liu Renliang, Wei Yuanzhong, Heizhi Changzhi, Li Duozuo and other military bigwigs also came.

Even Wu Zetian and Princess Taiping came.

Li Xingzhou looked at this formation, and wondered if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had come, and even people like Wu Chengsi had followed, could this competition be so touching?

Wu Chengsi didn't say anything, just quietly observing Wu Zetian's expression, this time Wu Zetian actually led the ministers to watch the martial arts.

The meaning can be imagined, Wu Zetian has the idea of promoting Li Xingzhou.

As long as Li Xingzhou can show his face in the eyes of the important ministers this time, then Wu Zetian can justifiably arrange a real position for Li Xingzhou.

Wu Chengji didn't want to see this situation, but there was nothing he could do.

And looking at Wu Zetian's degree of favor for Li Xingzhou, I am afraid that he will definitely give him a beauty difference.

Wu Chengsi knew very well that he had to stop Li Xingzhou no matter what this time, otherwise he would be in even more trouble in the future.

So Wu Chengji walked up to Li Duozuo and made a look at him, and Li Duozuo nodded slightly in understanding.

Wu Zetian and the others stood on the hillside, looking at the battlefield below, and at this time the martial arts exercise had already begun.

Lin Yun divided the 1,000-strong army into two teams, one team of 800 people formed a conical formation and directly inserted into Li Xingzhou's circular formation, and the other team of 200 people was holding back on the periphery.

Li Xingzhou was not worried about this at all, with the big shield blocking, the threat of those archers was negligible.

And now that the enemy and the enemy are mixed, the archers do not dare to shoot arrows indiscriminately.

Li Xingzhou was wearing a blue cloth strip on the one hand, and Lin Yun was wearing a red cloth strip on the other side.

The armored recruits are armed with spears and are conducting an offensive and defensive drill between the two armies under the command of their respective instructors.

The two sides are distinguished by strips of red and blue cloth, and their energetic faces are full of their desire to fight.

When the trumpet sounded, Lin Yun's soldiers on the red side shouted angrily and launched the first assault on Li Xingzhou on the blue side.

And the blue side Li Xingzhou's formed a circle to fight.

Xiong Yanfu behind him kept yelling.

"Watch your sides and don't have gaps. Learn to stay in formation in the sport ......"

The two formations of soldiers rushed back and forth, attacking and defending each other, and they looked good, but they always felt that something was missing.

If you look closely, you can finally find that the weapons in the hands of these recruits are all bladeless.

Without the fear of death threats, the soldiers fought seriously, but they did not have the desperate spirit of life and death.

The formation is a good arrangement, but when it comes to the battlefield, I don't know how many people can remember this formation.

Looking at everything in front of him, a smile appeared on Lin Yun's face.

"It seems that Master Li is going to prepare a big gift for us in advance."

A cavalryman next to him also laughed: "General Lin, what should I do?" ”

"What should I do?"

Lin Yun raised his eyebrows and said.

"There's a fart for watching the drill. I think it's better to use the guns and knives in our hands to test these recruits. Real gold is not afraid of fire to refine, let's refine them today. ”

"Let's see if our 100 veterans of the battlefield are powerful, or these nearly 10,000 recruits, by the way, let them know that if they really go to the battlefield, what is really important is."

"Hehe, there aren't many opportunities to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield in advance."

"That is, every time I go to the battlefield, the recruits who die the fastest and the most are the ones who die."

One of the cavalrymen behind him also replied with a smile.

Lin Yun turned his head, and a brilliant starlight flew out of his eyes.

He yelled

"Order: All staff spread out, one person in ten steps, a group of five, a wave charge."

"Mission: Beat them up. Remember, you can't kill someone, but you can hurt someone, and hit them with a horse if necessary. Whoever throws you off your horse, remember his face, I want it. ”

"Whoever is killed by a recruit is considered incompetent and died in vain!"

"Yes!" A thousand cavalrymen shouted loudly at the same time.

"Take off your helmet, change your armor, and abandon your spear with a sword...... Blow the trumpet! ”

When the loud charge horn sounded, the soldiers in Li Xingzhou's phalanx stopped their movements in amazement and looked outside the camp.

In the distance, dust and smoke billowed from the distance, and a fierce and vigorous iron rider had already shouted and killed.

The shining sabers in their hands slashed through the sky, forming a brilliant silver frenzy.

Like a tornado on the horizon, wild and violent, a huge whirlpool of ice was born on the flat ground.

The cavalry at the vanguard pointed his sword at the sky and shouted: "Kill!" ”

Swallowing thousands of miles, fierce and high-spirited.

In the face of this sudden attack, the soldiers standing in the circle were almost blinded.

The confused and panicked mood spread like a tide to the whole army in the next moment.

After all, even if it's acting!

The momentum of a thousand cavalry rushing was still very terrifying.

In the era of cold weapons, cavalry is worthy of being the king of war!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

There was finally a quick shout in the circle.

But with the sound of follow-up.

It wasn't the group of soldiers who were rehearsing, but the enemy horsemen who were rushing forward.

Lin Yun's cavalry had already occupied an absolute advantage from the moment they rushed into the camp gate.

They are very experienced and know that they are few people.

In addition, the opponent is not an enemy army in the real sense, so it does not really rush to kill, but pierces in a small formation.

Rush the recruit formation to pieces.

At the same time, a large amount of smoke and dust is created, so that the other party cannot immediately determine the number of people who come.

They abandoned their spears and replaced their knives, and their sabers were sharp and narrow, and with a single slash, they opened a long hole in each other's bodies. No

Because of their cautious efforts, they looked like they were splashing blood, but in fact they were not injured much, but the bloody effect was even stronger than that of using spears.

This made the panic in the training camp even stronger.

"Cavalry! It's cavalry! Someone shouted.

In an instant, Li Xingzhou's soldiers on the blue side collapsed.
