Chapter 90: Phantom Array 2
"Don't kill me,,, don't kill me, don't kill me, I surrender, I," On a stone pillar on a small island in the middle of the lake, a blue-robed young man fell from the stone pillar, his whole body trembled, and he was a little incoherent, looking frightened in the illusion array.

"You, make up for it!" Seeing the blue-robed young man fall off the stone pillar, the invigilator standing on the side casually pointed at Lin Yun among these martial artists preparing for the exam, a short young man immediately stepped forward, respectfully handed over the wooden card, and then walked towards the island in the middle of the lake through the stone bridge.
When the young man stepped onto the stone bridge, the young man who had fallen off the stone pillar was helped up by two soldiers on the island and walked towards the rest area.
In the time since, there have been warriors who have fallen from the stone pillars and have been made up, and these fallen warriors have different expressions, some are terrified, some are numb, some are overwhelmed, and some look impassioned.

After a meal, Lin Yun also stepped on the stone bridge, came to the island in the middle of the lake, and stood next to a stone pillar.
Looking at the stone pillars at such a close distance, I found that these stone pillars were not carved from ordinary stone at all, but a rare jade, and bursts of aura were revealed from the stone pillars, which was refreshing.
Although Lin Yun was a little surprised in his heart, his movements were not slow at all, his body jumped slightly, jumped onto the stone pillar, and sat cross-legged.
Just as Lin Yun sat down, suddenly the white light in front of him was dazzling, making him can't help but close his eyes.
When Lin Yun opened his eyes again, the surrounding scene changed, no longer green water and green willows, but a vast and boundless battlefield, the sky was covered by dark clouds, very gloomy, giving people an invisible depression and coldness.
"Kill--" A low roar came from far away, but you could still feel the indomitable momentum of thousands of troops and horses, but this momentum seemed to be the enemy's, rushing here from afar.
Lin Yun frowned slightly, but he was extremely calm in his heart, and quickly looked around, and found that he was riding on a war horse, in the center of a square team, and there were two big flags planted next to him, which read: Green Camp!
"In the Illusion Array, I became the commander of the Green Battalion!" Lin Yun said secretly in his heart as he looked at the personnel of the square team and the battle flag.
The basic military establishment of the Great Zhou Empire was composed of 10 commanders, 100 commanders, 500 commanders, and more than 1,000 generals.
The commander has a battalion of troops, a total of about 500 people, and the establishment of different battalions is also different, the green battalion under the jurisdiction of Lin Yun is the most basic establishment of the empire, infantry plus cavalry, but the cavalry is less than 50 horses, and the infantry is divided into shield soldiers, spearmen, sword soldiers, and archers.
Under the command of the standard-bearer, these arms cooperate with each other to form battle formations, which can maintain formation, advance in parallel, and resist attacks.
Historically, large-scale battles have been very particular about battle formations, and according to the different opponents, various conditions such as terrain, numbers, and even weather, different battle formations can be formed.
On a battlefield where there is no instant communication, and where hundreds of thousands of people are fighting at every turn, there is no battle formation, and it is impossible to command at all, and it is completely chaotic and unable to form an effective combat force.
Well-trained soldiers, forming battle formations, cooperating tacitly, the infantry is like moving the city wall, advancing step by step, and the spearmen and archers in the rear follow the attack, crushing the opponent.
Therefore, the difference between a loose rabble and a well-trained elite is a battle formation.
"It's not bad, although the battle formation is a little chaotic, but it still maintains a certain formation and has a certain combat effectiveness. Lin Yun looked at the somewhat scattered battle formation, and compared the battle formation of the friendly army next to him, and found that the green battalion where he was located was still in a neat formation.
The surrounding friendly battle formations have been chaotic, and all kinds of troops cannot form an effective cooperation, it is completely scattered, as long as the enemy charges in a round, it will collapse directly.
A long voice sounded, and then a soldier on his horse, holding the reins in one hand and a letter bucket in the other, galloped from afar.
Seeing this soldier coming on a fast horse, the shield soldiers at the outermost part of the phalanx immediately spread out a passage, and the cavalry did not slow down, passing through the passage like a white horse passing through a gap.
After the cavalry entered the phalanx, the shield soldiers immediately returned to their original positions, plugging the gap and ensuring the integrity of the formation.
"Report to the commander, the front-line urgent!" The soldier came to Lin Yun, jumped off the horse, bowed his head, held the letter bucket in both hands, and held it above his forehead.
Lin Yun was not polite, grabbed the letter bucket, unsealed it, took out a letter, spread it out in front of him, and read it quickly.
After a while, Lin Yun's face was a little ugly, and he muttered three words in his mouth: "Kill the pass!"
Thirty years ago, Emperor Gaozong succeeded to the throne, took out the power of heaven, stabilized his rule, and allocated 200,000 troops, commanded by He Bicheng, ready to destroy the Red Flame Empire in one fell swoop and remove the last unstable factor in the northeastern territory of the empire.
The Great Zhou Empire and the Chiyan Eight Divisions broke out in a place called the Killing Pass, and the main force Armageded Battle, and was finally defeated by the Chiyan army with less, and the 200,000 elites of the Great Zhou were completely annihilated, which established the status of the Chiyan Eight Divisions.
Speaking of the battle of "Killing Pass", we have to talk about the Chiyan Empire and the Yunmeng Empire.
The Chiyan tribe originated in the bitter cold land in the northeast of the Great Zhou Empire, rising between the white mountains and black waters, with a total of eight tribes, so the Chiyan Empire is also called the Chiyan Eight Divisions.
Due to the extremely sparse population, barren land, and harsh climate, the Chiyan Eight Divisions were regarded as barbarians by the Central Plains Dynasty, and in history, the Eight Divisions of Chiyan have always been controlled by the Central Plains Dynasty and the Yunmeng Empire from the northern grasslands in turn, and have never been founded and enslaved.
Successive dynasties of the Central Plains Dynasty would face the threat from the northern grasslands, although when the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, they would wave their troops north into the Yunmeng grassland, hoping to eliminate these nomads and completely remove the northern threat once and for all.
However, the Yunmeng grassland is boundless, and these nomads migrate with the water and grass, and have no fixed residence, often going around in circles with the army of the Central Plains Dynasty, and they cannot effectively annihilate the grassland soldiers.
Moreover, the climate of the Yunmeng grassland is harsh, and the winter is extremely cold, and the army of the Central Plains Dynasty is not adapted to such a climate at all, and the long-term grassland has no material supplies, and finally under the pressure of hunger and cold, it has to retreat and give up encirclement and suppression.
However, when the army retreats, it will be attacked and harassed by the nomads, and suffer heavy losses, or even be wiped out.
The Central Plains Dynasty, which had suffered repeated defeats, believed that it was almost impossible to eliminate nomads in the vast and boundless grasslands, and gradually abandoned the basic national policy of entering the northern grasslands and completely eliminating hidden dangers.
He began to build fortifications on the northern border, hoping to prevent the steppe cavalry from harassing southward through fortifications.
