The boss of the caravan is also surnamed Shang, and he also has 3 men, bringing 6 mules with goods on their backs, and the boss of the merchant here shouted outside, and these three guys led six mules and went directly to the road. The town was a small town, and soon they were on the rugged mountain paths.

The six mules of the caravan were led by three men and marched forward in a line; Xu Ran had never seen the way to follow to be a businessman's bodyguard before, so he could only arrange the soldiers' queues according to his own ideas.

He felt that the best way to do this was to "have five soldiers at the front of the line and five soldiers at the back of the line." ”

He thought that such a formation should be the safest, but this arrangement method was very inconvenient for him to keep on the march, and if he walked behind the soldiers in the back row, he would not be able to command the soldiers walking in the front of the line with his current mental strength; If he is in the middle of the line, he needs to turn his head from time to time to direct the soldiers behind him, which is very awkward and not conducive to command.

There is also a way that Xu Ran thinks is secondary, that is, let the 10 soldiers be divided into two columns, one row on each side of the mule team, and go hand in hand with the mules, but there are also problems in this way, one is that the mountain road is often narrow and cannot walk side by side with three teams of human mules, and the other is that he can only march on one side of the queue, and for the soldiers marching on the other side, because the mule head shakes back and forth, it also affects his command of the soldiers.

Xu Ran's last move was to let the soldiers line up in a line, go hand in hand with the mule team, and he himself lined up at the back of the line, so that he could command this column of soldiers one by one.

The business boss also walked at the back of the queue with Xu Ran, he would sometimes tell Xu Ran about the security situation and customs in the vicinity, and sometimes he would complain about the hard work of the businessman, and he would only deal with Xu Ran with occasional "um" and "ah", and he didn't care about it; Depending on the situation, this business owner is a person who likes to talk.

Xu Ran was now focusing on directing the soldiers forward.

When the queue was marching on the mountain road, Xu Ran thought of a way to explore the ability of the soldiers, and he issued a mental command to the soldiers who walked in the first place in the queue to "keep the offensive state on the march", and the rest of the soldiers he gave instructions were still moving forward normally.

I saw that the soldier who walked in the first place kept moving forward, while dancing the knife and shield to make a forward attack, when the soldier made 6 series of movements, he stopped and did not leave, Xu Ran then repeated the order, the soldier continued to do the attack of the sword and shield combination, and then stopped; Xu Ran understood that when this sword and shield soldier attacked, it used these 6 basic movements to be combined repeatedly.

Xu Ran then tried to order the soldier to add the command to use the third action in the process of attacking, and the soldier really repeated the action six times, and then Xu Ran felt that he had probably figured out the trick of commanding the soldier. Xu Ran then asked the soldier to move forward as normal as the rest of the soldiers.

Xu Ran commanded the soldiers who walked at the end again: "Backwards and make defensive moves." The soldier made another combination of six basic actions in the regression, and then stopped, Xu Ran tried again when he made the action in the reverse, inserting the command to repeat the action, which was still feasible.

At this point, Xu Ran felt that he had roughly understood the command essentials of this kind of sword and shield soldiers, and the rest was to see his spiritual power command ability, as well as his command ability and the soldier's technical ability to run in perfectly; Generally, the higher the mental power value, the more attention can be paid to the detailed command of each soldier's movements.

The business boss who was walking next to Xu Ran saw Xu Ran marching and training soldiers like this, and praised his professionalism.

After walking on the mountain road for more than ten minutes, the business boss was introducing the situation in this area to Xu Ran, saying that he had heard that there had been bandits and merchants here during this period of time, and he heard a whistle, and 12 NPC bandits had jumped out of the slightly open place in front of him, among the 12 bandits, 5 were holding knives and 5 were holding red tassel guns, and the blood volume of the bandits with knives and guns was 30, and the other two elite bandits, empty-handed, had a blood volume of 100; The open area where they were located was not very wide, and the 12 bandits were divided into three rows and quickly lined up, with the front row of sword soldiers, the back row of spearmen, and two elite bandits standing in the third row.

At first, Xu Ran thought that this A-level task was to deal with these bandits.

But after the dozen or so bandits stood still, a tall and strong man flashed out on the side, with a blood volume of 170, this person walked slowly behind the bandits, and began to look at the sky with his hands behind his back, very much like the protagonist in the film and television film.

As soon as this bandit leader with a blood volume of 170 appeared, Xu Ran felt that this task was really a bit difficult, the other party had a bandit leader with the same blood volume as himself, and two elite bandits, although his own NPC soldiers were stronger than the other party's ordinary bandits, but he generally felt that his side seemed to be weaker.

The bandits all wore leather armor, and they were pretty neat.

At this time, one of the elite bandits shouted in a loud voice: "Listen to the merchants on the other side, the goods are transported here, even if they are home, if you want to pass through here, you can continue to move forward, and we will not stop you if you want to go back, the goods must stay here." ”

The sword and shield soldiers on Xu Ran's side greeted the bandits when they appeared, and the open space occupied by the bandits also left space for their side, and Xu Ran divided the 10 sword and shield soldiers into two rows; By this time, the merchant boss had retreated to the back with his men, waiting for the outcome of the battle here.

Boss Shang's NPCs all have 25 HP, and when he was originally walking on the road, Xu Ran also considered that when he commanded the soldiers to fight, he had to take care of not letting these people be harmed, in case they let them hang up one, it was estimated that his bodyguard mission would be a failure. This will see that they are all flashed to the back, and they can be regarded as a snack.

Xu Ran took over the elite bandit's words at this time and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let's talk about it after the fight first." ”

The bandit leader who was looking at the sky with his back to his back looked at this side and said unhurriedly: "Let's do it." ”

The two elite bandits shouted in unison: "Let's fight." The bandits began to rush forward.

Xu Ran commanded his two rows of 10 soldiers to win, Xu Ran noticed that this NPC soldier will automatically meet the enemy when the opponent enters within 1 meter in front of him, and the moves used are those moves that rotate with the use of machinery, if they need to change the fixed move change, they must send out mental power instructions in time to correct.

On the enemy side, there are two elite bandits commanding the soldiers to fight, and they also pay attention to each other's cooperation, but Xu Ran found that the enemy's ordinary bandit soldiers' movement change speed is slightly slower than that of the NPC soldiers on his side, which may be related to the soldier's HP; This discovery also strengthened Xu Ran's confidence.

Xu Ran's current command of his NPC operations is still in the run-in period, and he is not very proficient. He first gave orders to all the soldiers one by one, stepped forward to meet the enemy, and then practiced how to better command the soldiers to fight.

He tried to order a sword and shield soldier in the front row to suddenly dodge to the side when the enemy issued an attack move, while maintaining a defensive state and not attacking, at this time, the enemy's attacking sword soldier fought hard because no one blocked it, and the body naturally rushed forward, at this time, Xu Ran's sword and shield soldiers in the second row saw that the enemy was attacking, and spontaneously moved forward to meet the enemy.

At this time, Xu Ran ordered the soldiers in the front row who had just dodged to attack the sword soldier who rushed into his own formation horizontally with their knives, and at the same time raised their shields to block the attack of the spearmen in the enemy's rear row; Because the enemy attacked this sword soldier was entangled by the attack of the second row of sword and shield soldiers at this time, and could not resist the attack from the side at the same time, and the movement speed of the sword and shield soldiers was also better than that of the enemy soldiers, this knife was a straight cut.

Although the enemy soldiers also wear leather armor, the armor generally protects the front of the body, and the protection of the side is not very thorough, and the knife and shield soldier makes the enemy soldier directly drop 10 points of blood.

Xu Ran saw that this was a good thing, and used this trick in a row, before the enemy could come and change the attack method, several sword and shield soldiers commanded by Xu Ran destroyed the enemy's 3 sword soldiers within a minute, and the other two sword soldiers still had 20 blood left. Only three of the soldiers on Xu Ran's side lost 2 points of blood, and the others were not injured yet.

Speaking of which, Xu Ran could think of this tactic, and it was also a self-righteous method that he thought was feasible when he was fighting with "Blowing Snow" in his dreams before, but he didn't expect that this time he would succeed.

Seeing that the three sword soldiers were destroyed by the other party, the elite bandit who commanded the sword soldiers rushed directly into the battlefield, Xu Ran's side immediately arranged two rows of four sword and shield soldiers to deal with this person, this elite bandit's movements were much faster than Xu Ran's sword and shield soldiers, Xu Ran would focus all his energy on dealing with this person, and he had no time to command other sword and shield soldiers.

Xu Ran didn't dare to go into battle to destroy the other party's elite bandits in person now, because the bandit leader was still idle, and if he went into battle, the other party would definitely go out directly against him, so that his sword and shield soldiers would have to face the other party's elite bandits directly without command; In that state, his NPC sword and shield soldiers will definitely be wiped out, because it is impossible for him to end the battle quickly when he is against the bandit leader, and he will not be able to help the sword and shield soldiers at all.

Xu Ran also knew the advantages of the elite bandits, so when he commanded the 4 sword and shield soldiers, he tried not to let them have a direct confrontation with the other party in terms of strength, when the elite bandits rushed over, Xu Ran immediately ordered the two sword and shield soldiers in the front row to get out of the way to both sides, avoiding the edge of the other party, and at the same time, the two sword and shield soldiers in the back row of their own side also raised their knives and slashed forward, and when the opponent parried the slashing of the two sword and shield soldiers in the back row, let the sword and shield soldiers on both sides swing their knives and cut to the middle at the same time.

Although this elite bandit leader is powerful and fast, because he has rushed into the encirclement of four people, although he has the ability to enter the white blade empty-handed, but there are too many white blades here, and Xu Ran deliberately did not let the sword and shield soldier raise the shield in his hand, so that this elite bandit leader could not use the ability to borrow strength, and Xu Ran's ability to analyze and judge the scene was faster than him, and some of the directions for the sword and shield soldier to come out were specially calculated, so in this round of engagement, this elite bandit was stabbed twice in the side and lost 10 points of blood.

This can make this elite bandit angry, after withdrawing from the encirclement of these 4 sword and shield soldiers, he regrouped and began to attack again, Xu Ran is more experienced and confident this time, and he still uses this trick for the opponent's attack angle, although this time the other party has been a little raised, or dropped 5 points of blood, the 4 sword and shield soldiers commanded by Xu Ran, more of them have now lost 2 points of blood, and less is still full of blood.
