After the reorganization of the new barracks was completed, the army officially started the daily training mode after the night tour.

The combat methods of the regular Yin Army are more professional than those of the city guards in Zuoqiu City. After all, they are the most serious army, and they are formed to fight hard battles. The City Guard is more of a police officer than a professional soldier.

Although the Yin army advocates personal martial arts and bravery, it is convincing people by force, and the strong occupy their positions. However, when fighting, they do not rely on their individual ability to fight alone, but rely on the collective combat ability generated by the gathering of various battle formations and tactics to charge and kill. This requires every soldier to obey orders and commands, advance and retreat in unison, and not panic at all. This alone is much better than the Guardian Guards or the rabble of goblins, which emphasize the ability of small groups to fight.

In a military formation, each soldier must cooperate with each other, regardless of the other. For example, when everyone is in line to fight, the person standing on the right holds a shield in his left hand, in addition to protecting himself, he also has to take into account the safety of his comrades on the left. In the first three months, the most training in the recruit camp was physical fitness and formation, and the daily training was how to cooperate with the comrades around him. We, the newly recruited officers, also took part in the process, learning command skills from the beginning of commanding simulated operations.

In fact, there is still a lot to learn. In addition to learning how to command the troops, they should also learn some tactics and the essentials of coordinated operations, as well as how to rationally allocate troops, survey the terrain, and arrange positions. From now on, we will have to hold ourselves to the standard of a commander.

In addition, there is a very special establishment regulation in the Yin Army: every soldier must be equipped with an additional Fu Formation Division, and he will also go to the battlefield with the troops during the battle!

These rune array masters are all specially trained, and they hold special talismans made by the underworld, which can greatly strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Yin army. In addition to the talismans that restrain ghost cultivation, they actually have talismans in their hands that can improve their own combat effectiveness in battle, all of which are magical talismans that I have never seen before.

For example, one of the special talismans is called: the War Drum Talisman. When the drums are cast, they produce a sound similar to the beating of a war drum, and the soldiers can charge forward with the majestic beat of the drum. This kind of charm is often used to boost morale and can play a spiritual role in boosting people.

The Blue Burst Charm is even more practical, and it can actually increase the density of Yin Qi in a small area. At this time, the soldiers can take this opportunity to replenish some yin power a little. Of course, the amount of increase that such a short spell effect can provide is not large, and it is more of a fatigue reliever.

In addition, other special talismans include hemostatic charms and painkillers. Both of these are healing talismans that can greatly reduce the suffering of wounded soldiers, so that they can hold on for a while before receiving effective treatment from the military doctor.

Such a meticulous and professional division of labor made the combat effectiveness of the Yin Army far widen the gap between it and the ordinary Yin City defenders, not to mention the ghost bandits or ghost army. To sum up, and according to the experience of the veterans, I think that with the current strength of the Yin Army, it is completely possible to be in an overwhelming position against ordinary ghost bandits or ghost army, and even one is a common thing.

Of course, whether the training is effective or not can only be tested by actual combat. But the Yin army does not fight every day, so the Yin marshal and Yin generals organize a military exercise every one or two months, so that each department can play freely and see which unit under his command is more attentive in training at ordinary times.

After the night tour, the army's first military exercise was arranged in a large cave outside the underworld. In addition to the first battalion led by himself and the baggage battalion led by Wang Song, Gan Sheng divided the other eight battalions into black and white teams, which were distinguished by the strips of cloth tied on their arms. The black team is the main defender, and the white team is the main attack.

Among them, the third battalion led by Gao Jia, as well as another green arrow battalion and two spear battalions, were responsible for guarding the position, while the white team led by Shen Turen, including a dog cavalry battalion, a spear battalion, and two sword and shield battalions, was responsible for attacking the black team's position.

The key to the victory or defeat of this exercise lies in the military flag of "Gan" erected high on the position, if the white team can capture the flag within an hour, it is the winner, if not, even if the black team wins.

The sword and shield battalion is suitable for attacking tough battles, the dog cavalry battalion is good at sneak attack warfare, and the green arrow battalion and spear battalion are suitable for defending positions. Especially considering the strength advantage of the dog cavalry battalion, Gan Sheng deliberately added an hour limit to the white team, so it was fair to divide the troops. After the formation was completed, the military exercise officially began.

The captain of the white team is naturally Shen Turen. But this guy was an impatient, straight-bellied man, and he couldn't say more than five words at the White Team's pre-war meeting before he hurried to gather his men to prepare for a sneak attack.

The offensive tactics he laid out were very simple: "His grandmother's time is only an hour, where can we attack slowly?" I think that's it, Gao Jia and they are still grinding on the opposite side, so I just take the dog riding camp forward to attack for a round. If you can quickly capture the flag, if you can't take it, I'll go around and attack with you! In the second round, the spear battalion was in the center, and the two sword and shield battalions were separated from each other, waiting for my order to charge together! I'll follow you three battalions to cover up and take the opportunity to capture the flag!" ”

Without waiting for the other three of us Yin School to express their opinions, Shen Turen had already mounted his Cerberus and led his troops to sneak attack.

I sighed and asked the other two what they thought.

The Yin Colonel of the Fifth Battalion is called Jia Ji, who leads the only spear battalion in the White Team. He also said helplessly: "Our spear battalion is unobstructed, how can we charge?" He also arranged for our five battalions to take the middle road, I am afraid that before we can rush to the front of the battle, we will be shot to death by Gao Jia's Green Arrow Battalion! ”

Cheng Youliang, another Yin School of the Ninth Battalion of the Sword and Shield Battalion, had some experience in attacking the city, so he said: "Why don't the three of us be flexible, or the fifth battalion is in the middle, the eighth battalion is on the left, and the ninth battalion is on the right." But the position of the fifth battalion was slightly back, and the eighth and ninth battalions were slightly forward, guarding the fifth battalion with shields against the bows and arrows fired by the black team. When it steadily advanced to the front of the position, the fifth battalion rushed out of the shield formation, and the eighth and ninth battalions also scattered and charged together! ”

Jia Ji and I listened to it, and we both had a good plan.

Such a workaround did not contradict Shen Turen's battle plan, but also made use of the strengths and avoided the weaknesses to maintain the integrity of the attacking force. Therefore, the fifth, eighth, and ninth battalions lined up in this way and slowly advanced behind Shen Turen's dog riding battalion.

Since it was a martial arts exercise, the weapons used by the two opposing sides were still wooden, and even the two Green Arrow battalions of the black team used training arrows without arrows, and the front end was tied with a cloth regiment wrapped in white ash. Once such an arrow hits the body, it leaves a striking white dot, and the soldier who is hit by the arrow must lie down on the spot to show his death and withdraw from the exercise.

The restrictions on Shen Turen's dog riding camp were even stricter, and all the Cerberus wore halters, and even their four-legged paws had to be wrapped with strips of cloth. As a result, the combat effectiveness of the canine cavalry, which was without the assistance of fangs and claws, suddenly decreased sharply.

In addition, the position defended by the black team was chosen in a boulder thicket, and the place was cramped, and the advantage of Cerberus being good at running could not be brought into play, so Shen Turen's first wave of fast attack sneak attack unsurprisingly failed. After "killing" about twenty canine cavalry, he had no choice but to lead the team back, turn around and run back behind the other three battalions, and regroup.

The shield formations of the fifth, eighth, and ninth battalions leaned closely together and marched steadily forward. After just entering the firing range, the three battalions commanded by Gao Jia really shot a dense rain of arrows. However, due to the very close arrangement of the shield array, this first round of arrow rain all fell on the shield with a "ding ding", leaving only specks of white ash.

Seeing this, Gao Jia simply stopped archery. At this time, the white team was still one hundred and twenty meters away from the black team's position, and could only throw upwards, the effect was very poor, and it was futile to continue shooting arrows. He must have thought that it would be better to wait for us to get closer, so that we could aim for the gap between the shields and shoot flat, which would be more effective.

And the white team, because there are no archers, must try to get as close to the position as possible. According to Cheng Youliang's plan, when there is only fifty meters left, you can start charging. The archers of the black team, due to the angle of the flat fire and the light, will probably not fire again until we start charging.

Therefore, in fact, at this time, the two sides are more patient, and the key is to continue to shorten the distance to how much is more suitable for their next tactics.

As a result, the shield array of the white team slowly advanced in an eerie and solemn atmosphere. 100 meters...... Ninety meters ...... Eighty meters ......

When he first walked seventy meters away from the position, someone couldn't hold his breath. And this person is the commander of the white team: Shen Turen!

"Charge! Charge! ”

He shouted from behind the shield. By this time, his canine cavalry battalion had been regrouped, and he had to keep grinding behind the slow shield array. For Shen Turen, who is in a hurry, this tactic is too "ink"!

"What are the people in front of you still rubbing about?" He yelled, "His grandmother's! Run for me! ”

But including me, Jia Ji of the Fifth Battalion and Cheng Youliang of the Ninth Battalion were still waiting and watching, and did not immediately give the order to charge. The three Yin Masters were all pretending to be stupid, and they simply didn't hear Shen Turen's order. Anyway, he is an officer of the same level as us, and he is only temporarily taking over the position of commander of the white team during the military exercise, and he is not our real superior.

But we can pretend not to hear, and our soldiers will not. After hearing Shen Turen roar like this, they couldn't help but be affected, and the steps under their feet began to be chaotic, and the arrangement of the shield array was not as tight as before. There were even a few soldiers who exchanged words in private, hesitating whether to follow Shen Turen's orders.

I was about to open my mouth to stop, but I didn't expect that Yishi, who was walking on the outermost side, broke away from the shield array on his own and began to charge!
