The crowd hid and held their breath. There was silence in the mountains and forests, except for the occasional bird's cry, but the mountains seemed more secluded.

The footsteps were becoming more and more distinct, and everyone else could already hear them.

Taking advantage of the gap in the grass nest, Wei Renshi saw a group of people coming over.

"Wait." The man in the lead suddenly stopped, raised his hand and signaled to the patrolman to stop.

"There are footprints here, they look like they were not too long ago." The leader said to the people behind him: "All be careful, although you can't get a glimpse of the camp in this direction, you must prevent someone from hiding." ”

"Yes!" Others took the command.

They looked around, but found no human figure, so they continued to pay attention and patrolled downward.

When they were far away, they could not hear the footsteps, and waited a little longer to prevent them from killing them.

After that, the people crawled out of the grass nest.

"Good stuff, really good stuff!" Li Liang said very excitedly: "The leader is right in front of my face, and his feet can pick me up in one more step, but I didn't find it!" ”

Everyone also expressed the same feelings.

They were not afraid of being discovered by the patrolling soldiers at this time. Because they haven't gone up to the top of the West Mountain, there is no way to talk about spying on the camp of the Shence Army. As long as you show your identity and say that you are coming to Xishan for a spring outing, there is no problem.

However, this dodge made the gang very excited.

"Alright, get up on it!" Wei Renshi would not forget his purpose, and hurriedly urged everyone.

Everyone continued to go up the hill in camouflage clothes, resting intermittently in between, and after going up for another half an hour, Wei Renshi found that he had completely become a burden to the team.

"Brother Renshi, I'll carry you." Li Liang looked at Wei Renshi, who couldn't breathe, and said.

Wei Renshi shook his head and said, "No, it's almost here anyway, I'll just rest for a while." ”

Everyone also sat down to rest, Wei Renshi took a few breaths, and said with a smile: "It seems that I should exercise more often, brothers who have martial arts that can be passed on, go back and teach me." ”

"If you want me to say that you don't need martial arts, Brother Renshi can just follow us every day." Li Chun said with a smile.

Wei Renshi thought for a while and said, "I should run." ”

While resting, everyone talked and laughed a few words, and when they calmed down a little, they began to get up and walk up again.

After walking about a stick of incense, he finally reached the top of the mountain.

The surrounding scenery is unobstructed, with endless blue trees in the distance and wildflowers blooming in the mountains in the near distance.

A warm micro-stroking came over, making it even more pleasant.

"Brother Renshi, look there, there is the camp of the Shence Army." Li Liang pointed to a place under the valley in the distance and said to everyone.

Wei Renshi stared over to take a look, but he could see a building there, but he couldn't see the specifics clearly, and sure enough, he couldn't even see the layout clearly.

"Now our artifact will come in handy." Wei Renshi said as he took out the telescope and looked there.

Through the binoculars, the Shence Army camp gradually became clear, and although it was impossible to see the appearance of the soldiers inside, it was possible to see their movements clearly.

The Shence soldiers in the camp were practicing the formation at the moment, although Wei Renshi couldn't hear how they were commanded inside, but he could see that the soldiers inside were orderly sometimes turning into a circle formation, sometimes turning into a phalanx.

Formation changes can be completed in a few blinks of an eye.

This alone shows that the strength of the Shence Army is indeed not to be underestimated.

In ancient times, the battle was relatively opposite, and once the charge began, in fact, the test of personal martial arts was very small. The most important thing in a military formation is not how many people in it are strong in martial arts, but the uniformity of a military formation.

The lances in the hands of the infantry formed an indestructible forest of guns and advanced together.

The most critical function of a soldier in the infantry formation is to follow everyone to assassinate together, and even if he dies, he must keep the military formation neat. Once an army formation is dispersed, the fate of the soldiers is either to be cut in two by the rushing cavalry like chopping a winter melon, or to be overturned by the horse's hooves and trampled into meat sauce.

In the face of a battlefield full of swords and guns, no matter how superb one's martial arts are, there is not much room for play, at most it is just to hold on for a while.

The change of formation moves with the order, does not panic, does not break the position, orders the flag, changes the military formation, does not drag mud and water, it is a good army.

This can be done by the 1,100th person now. They are forbidden during normal training, in order not to mess up the formation when changing formations, and to be able to quickly complete the switch formation.

In general, the two armies faced each other, with a phalanx or cone formation used for offense and a circle formation for defense. It's all the same.

However, Wei Renshi watched it for a long time and found that the method practiced in the Shence Army, if used in battle, seemed to be based on foot formations and facing the enemy head-on. Supplemented by a bow formation, it can cover your own formation and disrupt your opponent.

Wei Renshi also found that each of the soldiers in the Shence army had a bow, so that although the infantry formation could be transformed into a bow formation, it would be possible to cooperate with the formation conversion and exchange functions.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the Tang army fought mainly with cavalry. The infantry engaged the enemy only to block the enemy's offensive, and the specific annihilation of the enemy and breaking through the enemy's army formation were completed by the cavalry. Similarly, after the enemy is dispersed, the cavalry will complete the main pursuit mission.

Later, the decline of the Tang Dynasty's national strength, coupled with the loss of several important sources of war horses, gradually played a greater role.

But in general, the most common way for the Tang Dynasty army to fight is to let the infantry ride in a car, parallel to the cavalry, and the cavalry and the infantry in the car reach the battlefield together.

If the enemy army attacked first, the Tang army would use bows and crossbows, first attack the opponent with arrowheads, and then meet the enemy with a sword formation. The cavalry gave way and waited for the enemy to reach the front of the formation, and when the two armies were mixed together, they quickly disturbed the enemy's rear from the flank, so that the infantry could be in front and the cavalry in the rear, and the opponent could be flanked on both lines. If the Tang army takes the initiative to attack, then the cavalry is mainly responsible for disturbing the enemy's rear from the flank, restraining the opponent's main force, using the swiftness of the cavalry, leading the enemy's main force to run behind the cavalry, and scattering the formation.

The training of the Shence Army below does reflect this.

Everyone hid on the top of the west mountain, observing the training of the soldiers in the camp of the Shence Army through binoculars.

They spent the longest training time in formations and formations, followed by equestrianism and bows and arrows, and the shortest time spent training other weapons.

Moreover, Wei Renshi also found a more serious problem.

That is the soldier in the Shence Army, which is generally stronger than the soldier in the Sixteen Guards!
