A rocky and unnamed peak, atop a boulder.

Ichikaze and everyone else nervously looked at the east of Myeongoji Temple at the foot of the mountain, and in the vast plain, the clash between Buddhist monks and legions.

This was the first time they had seen a large-scale war, and they all subconsciously held their breath and did not dare to relax at all.

I saw the plain under the mountain, the west of the official road, rushing up to the Buddhist Sangha in an arrow formation, and the monk acting as an arrow looked mighty.

They were armed with spears, knives and sticks, faintly revealing a lot of brilliance, it seemed that these monks were cultivators, and the weapons in their hands were also extraordinary magic weapons, and they used them as arrows to charge, trying to break through the formation of the opposing legion.

Among those present, only Shuli learned the essentials of marching and arranging when he was studying at Shujia.

This is a consistent tradition of calligraphers, in addition to reciting Confucian classics, practicing exercises, practicing swordsmanship, and learning to march and fight.

This is also the method used by the calligrapher to help Wei lay down the country. In Qifeng City at the foot of the Mountain of No Return, the training of the army relied on the leadership and command of the disciples of the calligrapher.

In the history of nearly 1,000 years, calligraphers have never dared to give up teaching war to the children of calligraphers, and they know the meaning of "born in sorrow and die in peace", and they do not know when they will use it.

In this regard, the Holy Academy and the calligrapher are of the same idea, but the difference is that compared to the calligrapher who is fighting in Yunzhou, the Holy Academy has to directly provide elite and wise marching generals for the imperial court, and to cultivate war talents who can win battles.

It was precisely because of this that they were able to gradually take full control of six of the ten major legions of the Great Martial Kingdom, and nearly eighty or ninety percent of the hundreds of generals above and below were from the Holy Academy.

Even if the Dawu Imperial Family had another recommendation and examination system for civil and military elections, the talents obtained from it were basically practicing Confucianism and Taoism, but they did not directly come from the Taiqing Gate or the Holy Academy.

There are only a very few people who practice Buddhism but are still officials in the imperial court, and most of these people are around Wei Huang, the crown prince who respects Buddhism.

Of course, not all calligraphers are geniuses, and there are only so many children who can learn to meet the qualifications and go to the army of Qifeng City to train.

Among the younger generation of scholars, some even dislike marching and fighting, and are perfunctory in the study of tactics and strategies.

When Shuli first studied, he did not have the ambition to compete in war, but in the spirit of never getting tired of learning, and with his intelligent talent, he systematically studied military law, tactics and strategy, so he was able to understand it generally.

Originally, his father Shuyu planned to let him go to Qifeng City's army of calligraphers to experience it, but he didn't expect Master Ran to suddenly appear from it, point out the Buddha's blessing of Shuli, lead him into the empty door, and disrupt his father's plan.

At that moment, after Shuli saw the magnificent scene of the two armies charging against each other on the plain, the art of war and tactics he had learned in his mind all surged.

At this time, he could hear Yuchuni say: "This kind of arrow formation, it is too difficult to break through the charging line of the opposing legion. ”

Shuli turned his head to look at Yuqiuni, and he reacted at the moment, Yuqiuni grew up in Junzhou City, and before leaving, all he saw and heard were first-class people in the imperial court.

She came into contact with high-ranking officials Hongru, as well as generals and leading officers, and Shi Meng, the deputy general of the Zuo Shence Army, was her friend since childhood, so her knowledge of war was bound to be not bad.

Thinking of this, Shuli nodded and said: "The war horse on the opposite side charged, opened into a long snake formation, as long as the arrows rushed into the snake body, it was inevitable that the cavalry on both sides would roll up left and right, and all the monks in the arrow array would be strangled in the middle."

"And the biggest weakness of the arrow array is that there are too many exposures in the middle and rear. Originally, this formation should have been charged in a narrower area to achieve the best results.

"Because the narrower the terrain, the more it can limit the possibility of attacking the arrow formation from the left, right and rear, and the arrow can move forward.

"But now, in such a wide terrain, I am afraid that the arrows will rush, and the head and tail of the long snake charging on the opposite side will curl, and the arrow array will fall into their heavy encirclement. ”

After hearing Shuli's analysis of the Tao, everyone was amazed.

The fire monkey gave him a thumbs up, turned to Fluttershy, and said, "Fluttershy, you also control countless beasts, and you must have some experience in tactics, so tell me about it." ”

Hearing him call her Fluttershy, Fluttershy knew that he had understood the importance of the elixir she had given him, she smiled charmingly and softened her tone.

She rolled her eyebrows and said angrily: "How do people know so much, where will the beasts listen to such a delicate command from you, just go on a rampage, it's already barbaric." ”

The fire monkey looked at Xiao Fudie's coquettish appearance, goosebumps rose all over, and said: "If you restrain me, my whole body is numb, can't you talk well?"

Ignoring their teasing, Yuchuni stared at the battlefield and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Once the middle strength of the War Horse Snake Formation is weakened by the impact, there will also be a chance. ”

At this moment, everyone saw that the arrow array composed of tens of thousands of monks was getting closer and closer to the legion.

The monks could already see the black-clad and black-armored cavalry on the opposite side, and the water vapor from the heavily armored horses, as well as the infantry soldiers in the rear of the legion wearing chaser armor and the sharp halberds in their hands.

At this moment, they suddenly saw a black dot flying out from behind the legion.

Someone in the Arrow Sangha formation was quite experienced and exclaimed, "It's a flying arrow!"

"Teng-boom-whoosh-"

Before the man could finish speaking, he saw countless black dots all ignited, sparks erupted, forming a sea of arrows and fire, and shooting down towards the Sangha.

In the blink of an eye, countless "poof" sounds sounded, and the sea of fire all covered their heads, and sharp rockets shot through the limbs and chests of countless people, and ignited their bodies in an instant!

Countless monks were shot and set on fire, and suddenly the wailing and screaming resounded to the sky.

What's even more terrifying is that the ignited people are running wildly, so that the Sangha in the shape of arrows suddenly becomes a sea of fire, and immediately collapses.

Seeing this, the cavalry charging on the left and right began to speed up like dumplings, encircling and flanking the arrow monks, and strangling them on the spot.

At this moment, a monk behind the arrow shouted a Buddha horn and spread "buzzing".

In an instant, starting with him, there were people behind the arrow legion responding, one by one like dots connected in a line, from front to back, like a powerful lifeline, running through the arrow monks.

Suddenly, a majestic aura was released, and I saw a silver line appear in the arrow army, and in the blink of an eye, it spread out with a bang, but it formed a surface of water!

"Poof—snort—"

The surface of the water spread from the center of the arrow to both sides, and many monks who had just been shot and ignited were sprinkled on the surface of the water and extinguished the flames.

For a while, in the phalanx of arrows, countless green smoke rose from the body of the monk and the corpse under his feet.

Although the sea of fire was restricted, many monks were still killed and wounded.

However, at this moment, once again, a dozen loud shouts of Buddha trumpets were heard from the monks at the end of the arrow, and they urged them to organize the Sangha again and charge towards the center of the cavalry corps.

This time, the Sangha had already been inspired by the tragic death of their fellow disciples, and the charge became very rapid.

At this time, the end of the long snake front of the cavalry had not yet fully formed a trapping trend, and the battle line was suddenly pulled apart by the monks.

In the middle of the charging front, it was the weak link, and when a group of the most powerful cultivators and monks rushed with a spiritual treasure weapon, they cut off the cavalry charging long snake battle line!

These cultivators were able to smoothly rush deeper into the enemy formation, trying to disrupt the legion's enemy formation.

On the distant mountain, Shuli watched the battle situation change several rounds in an instant, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, sure enough, what he had learned from the military book and the calligrapher master before seemed to be the way, but the real war was far more complicated and terrifying.

Therefore, I also admired Yuchuni's sharp mind, after all, she was the only one who felt that the arrow phalanx had a chance to rush away.

Shuli looked at the battle situation in the plain and said slowly: "Master Yu, the disciple lost his eyes and was abrupt, and the class got an axe. ”

Yuchuni shook his head and said, "There is no need to be like this, I have hardly seen a real war, but I have listened to a few words of curiosity when I was a child when I listened to the theories of my eldest brother and other generals. It's just that I didn't expect the war to be so cruel, and so many people died tragically in one breath. ”

After saying that, she couldn't help but sigh.

Shuli nodded and said: "Yes, war is a meat grinder, no matter how much cultivation anyone has, once they fall into the ocean of war, they can only make a small wave." ”

Suddenly, I only heard Ben Qian exclaim: "Yifeng, what's wrong with you?!"
