Han Mo and Xiao Lingzhi ** love needless to mention, the second day just dawned, the soldiers of each battalion according to the usual habits, early morning drills and training, if you can look down from the air, you can see the northwest camp in the connection, there are training grounds, and the northwest soldiers are in formation, there are three or five hundred people in a small formation, there is also a thousand people in a large array, each team has its own lieutenant colonel responsible for leading the drill.

Before dawn, the sound of "killing, killing, killing" with a rainbow of morale resounded from all over the playgrounds, and this sonorous sound could be heard everywhere in the barracks.

Han Mo's private style riding was also under the leadership of Zhu Xiaoyan, who was wearing a mask, and he was riding a horse near the camp.

Han Mo rode on a horse, watching that all the military camps were actively training, and couldn't help but admire Xiao Huaiyu again, although Xiao Huaiyu had left, but left behind an iron-clad army, this army already had a strong military soul, even if Xiao Huaiyu left, the military soul of this army would not disperse, and this army was also the greatest wealth that Xiao Huaiyu left to Yan State.

"By the way, Commander Wang, have the soldiers in our army trained various formations?" Han Mo rode on a horse, and behind him were the northwest generals who followed, this was the first time he had officially inspected the exercises of the Northwest Army, so he and Xiao Lingzhi were also quite restrained last night, and they stopped three or four times, and got up early in the morning today.

He had seen a lot of soldiers, and there were various formations on them, Zhuge Wuhou's gossip array, and what kind of long snake formation, crane wing array, fish scale array, etc., but Han Mo was quite interested in this, so on a whim, he asked Wang Siyu beside him.

Wang Siyu said respectfully: "Back to the general's words, there are formation drills every month. On weekdays, the main thing is to train the basic skills, and only when the basic skills are solid can the power of the big array be displayed. ”

Han Mo nodded, and Qin Luo had already said beside him: "In addition to training basic skills on weekdays, there is also a compulsory training subject, which is the Trinity Small Array!" ”

"Trinity Formation?" Han Mo was puzzled and asked, "What is that?" ”

Wang Siyu smiled, didn't explain for a while, just shouted into the playground, and a lieutenant who was leading the troops to drill came over quickly and knelt down in front of the horse: "The last general will see the general!" ”

Han Mo raised his hand and motioned for the lieutenant to get up, and Wang Siyu next to him had already said solemnly: "Set up a small trinity formation, General Han will review!" ”

The lieutenant arched his hand and quickly ran back to the playground, while Han Mo led the generals to the side of the playground, only to see that there were five or six hundred sergeants here, divided into five or six teams, each led by a small colonel.

The lieutenant took the drill flag, stood in the drill ground, shouted loudly, waved the flag in his hand, and saw that all the small schools immediately made the same gesture, and the five or six hundred sergeants on the playground actually moved their bodies in an instant, and in a tight moment, they formed a small formation of three people.

The three of them scattered and stood in a triangle, each guarding one point.

Han Mo only glanced at it, and he understood what the "Trinity Array" was, it turned out that when the three soldiers were fighting, the three soldiers were fighting together, so that the three soldiers could support each other and defend their comrades behind them.

Han Mo saw it in his eyes and couldn't help asking, "If this is a charge, can you always maintain such a formation?" ”

"This is a three-in-one formation created by the Great General five years ago, and a formation like this, when three people combine them, they can exert far more power than three soldiers fighting alone." Wang Siyu explained: "However, such a formation must be trusted by the soldiers, and if you want to achieve the effect of tacit cooperation, you must train for a long time. Beginners, there is no tacit understanding, as long as they are rushed by the enemy's formation, they may be dispersed, but after a year, two or even several years of training, these soldiers have formed a habit, even if they are scattered for a while, they will subconsciously re-form a trinity small formation, and cooperate with each other tacitly......! Speaking of this, Wang Siyu Huo Ran shouted: "Group! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the hundreds of soldiers in the field immediately dispersed the formation, Han Mo only saw that the original Trinity and neat formation in front of him was disrupted in an instant, and he was still confused, but he saw that those soldiers were in a fast shape, but in the blink of an eye, they resumed the Trinity formation combination.

Han Mo held a horsewhip in his hand and squinted, but after only a few glances, he immediately saw that after this time of disruption, although the Trinity Formation had been restored, the soldiers in the combination were different.

"There are no fixed soldiers." Wang Siyu raised his horsewhip and pointed at the soldiers in front of him: "These are all veterans, this set of trinity training has been more than two years, and anyone can form a small formation in the shortest possible time, so on the battlefield, even if there are casualties that cause vacancies in the small formation, there will be new soldiers to add it, and there will not be too much of a problem with the tacit understanding." ”

"I see." Han Mo exclaimed: "How many people are there in the hundreds of thousands of troops of our Northwest Army, who have such a tacit understanding?" ”

"More than 50,000 people." Wang Siyu is very sure: "If it weren't for the fact that there are veterans who return to their hometowns every year of service, and new recruits come in, the number will be even higher." Although veterans leave every year and new recruits arrive, at least 50,000 people have undergone more than three years of training and are extremely familiar with this set of formations. Any recruit who arrives, after half a year of basic training, will begin to carry out this kind of small array training, rain or shine, without interruption. ”

Han Mo nodded and said: "I heard that the Wei people are still martial, and since they were young, there have been various martial arts competitions, and their individual combat ability is extremely strong. And if our soldiers know how to cooperate tacitly on the battlefield, they may be able to make up for the gap in individual combat ability. ”

Qin Luo said with a smile on the side: "It's just that we haven't really fought with the Qingguo people in these years, otherwise with the ability of the Qingguo people, we will definitely be able to beat them to the ground." ”

Han Mo smiled faintly, noncommittal.

It is also normal for the generals of the Northwest to show belligerence all the time, after all, it is always a little frustrating for a soldier to sharpen his knife every day but not see the knife out.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard again, and the generals turned around, but saw Jiang Siyuan, the minister of the Qin Mission, coming quickly under the escort of more than a dozen samurai.

Han Mo didn't look back, he already knew in his heart that it was Jiang Siyuan who had arrived.

When he arrived next to Han Mo, Jiang Siyuan reined in his horse, and saw that Han Mo and more than a dozen generals from the northwest were inspecting and practicing, his face was quite unnatural, and he was even more embarrassed.

When he first arrived yesterday, he had a confrontation with Han Mo, returned to his camp, and according to the emperor's instructions, after arriving in the northwest, he had to write an excerpt every day to report to the Northwest Army and Han Mo to the capital.

By the time he finished writing the excerpt and sent someone to send it out in carrier pigeons, it was already late at night.

He is just a literati, although Han Mo has already taken care of him on the way, and he is quite slow, but after more than half a month and nearly a thousand miles of bumpy road, he is also exhausted.

If it weren't for Han Mo sending someone to urge, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to wake up yet.

At this moment, seeing that the generals in the northwest, including Han Mo, got up early in the morning to inspect, but he was late, he was still quite embarrassed.

"Did Master Jiang sleep well last night?" Han Mo glanced at him, then looked at the soldiers who were still exercising, and said lightly: "If you don't sleep well, you can go back and sleep for a while." ”

Jiang Siyuan's face suddenly looked a little unpleasant, and said, "General Han doesn't have to be sneering. This official is just late, how to deal with this military law, you can follow the military law! ”

Han Mo smiled faintly and said, "Commander Qin, if it is in accordance with military law, how should it be handled?" ”

"Fifteen military sticks!" Qin Luo's voice was high, and he was very powerful.

Han Mo smiled: "Lord Jiang heard it?" ”

Jiang Siyuan's face was ugly, this was the first morning he came to the northwest, if he was beaten with a fifteenth army stick at this time, it would really be a loss of face.

"Although military law is ruthless, everything must be done in accordance with military law." Han Mo looked at Jiang Siyuan and smiled: "But Lord Jiang is a minister sent by the Holy Lord, and he is a first-time offender, this ......!" He turned his head, looked at the generals, and arched his hand: "The general wants to ask you for a favor for Lord Jiang, these fifteen military sticks are written down for the time being, what do you think?" ”

The generals looked at each other, Qin Luo was silent for a while, and then he said thoughtfully: "General Han, since you said so, Lord Jiang is also a minister or a first-time offender, these fifteen military sticks will be remembered first, but ...... With all due respect, if there is another violation of military law next time, these 15 military sticks will have to be repaired. ”

"That's nature." Han Mo nodded solemnly.

Jiang Siyuan saw it in his eyes, his face was really difficult to see, and in the understatement, not only was he already isolated, but more importantly, at this point, he was already a head lower than Han Mo.

Speaking from the heart, the generals present may not all really respect Han Mo from the bottom of their hearts, but compared to this so-called minister, Han Mo is a martial artist, and he is also the first general to quell the chaos, and he is even more hand-held with the talisman, he is the general hand-picked by Xiao Huaiyu, these factors add up, Han Mo's prestige in the hearts of the generals is not much higher than that of this imperial historian.

Not much to say at the moment, Han Mo and Jiang Siyuan were in front side by side, and the generals followed behind, inspecting several camps, all of which were bursting with the sound of drills.

Jiang Siyuan also knew in his heart that he was sent by the emperor to restrain and spy on Han Mo, which Han Mo must have known very well in his heart, from the moment he left the capital, he may have become a thorn in the heart of this young general, he is in the northwest, he still has to be cautious, don't be caught by this young general.

Han Mo had no intention of entanglement with Jiang Siyuan today, but according to the discussion with Xiao Lingzhi last night, he sent people to the border passes and summoned the five general soldiers to Linyang Pass to participate in the military meeting.

The border passes are far and near, in order to let the five general soldiers arrive at the same time as much as possible, the people sent by Han Mo are also the first and the last.

It's just that this military meeting was not held, and on the fifth day after Han Mo arrived in the northwest, he received a very surprising news.

This news came from the distant Qingguo Shangjing City.
