Chapter 141: Military System

The rapid march of nearly a thousand men had been drastically reduced since the third day, and the mountain roads had long since become extinct, and the excitement of the young men for the first time in the wilderness had been exhausted. The imitation robes were already scratched and tattered, and from a distance, they looked like beggars were migrating all over the mountains.

More and more of the monks were left behind by the original team, and all of them entered the containment team that by the evening of the fourth day, the team was nearly three hours behind the team that was at the front. By the time they arrived at the meeting point, the teenagers in the vanguard team had eaten and drunk and were asleep.

That night, he called off the procession and discussed the next three days with a group of presiding elders. Although the journey has passed halfway, and there are only less than eight hundred miles left, according to the current form, only the more than two hundred young people with the strongest ability can reach the Flower Beaver Peak within the scheduled time.

In the end, the frail teenagers who fell into his containment team would be a day behind the strikers.

Blue Bird said: "This is also normal, so that it can reflect the advantages of those monks with high spiritual roots and many yang spiritual roots." ”

Yin Qin shook his head and said, "Our original goal was to return to the mountain gate within seven days, if only those disciples with high spiritual root rank arrived on time, our plan would be a failure." ”

The dog said, "What should I do? Is it difficult, do you want us foundation building monks to carry one of us who can't walk on our backs?"

Yin Qin stretched out two slaps and said with a smile: "What line does one person carry one? At least ten per person." ”

After everyone had laughed, he made his suggestion: to divide the existing formation of 100 men into nine squads, roughly eleven people in a squad, and the members of each squad were mixed into the most capable ones, the middle ones, and the young monks who lagged behind, according to the abilities they had shown in the previous four days. In this way, the overall strength of each squad is relatively average, and the most important thing is that it must be rigidly stipulated that each squad must act collectively and not leave a single member behind.

There are squadrons on top of the squadrons, one squadron for every three squadrons, and a hundred-man brigade for every three squadrons. The requirement for the squadron is not to leave a squadron behind, and the requirement for the brigade is not to leave a squadron behind.

As soon as the courteous suggestion came out, the elders in charge looked at each other, and although no one spoke, their expressions were quite strange.

Looking at the blue diligently, hoping to get an answer from her.

Blue Tinch groaned for a moment in embarrassment, before explaining to Yin Qin that the formation method he proposed was actually not a pioneering feat, and many large barbarian tribes in the depths of the wilderness used a similar method to form formations.

They are also a group of ten, called a spear, and one of the brave warriors is called the spearhead. A spear refers to ten people strung together with their chests and backs, which is exactly the same length as the flying spears that barbarians are accustomed to throwing.

According to the establishment of the barbarians, the number of ten spears formed a circle. There are a total of 100 people in the circle, which is the basic unit for them to hunt large demon beasts. All in all, the way the barbarians formed was just missing the squadron compared to the courteous advice.

Seeing that he was attentive and didn't speak, Director Lin thought that he hadn't thought through the key, and added: "We are now organizing a team of 100 people, which is actually a reference to the military system of the Wu Dynasty, according to the military system of the Wu Dynasty, every 100 people are a team. A team of 100 people was the smallest formation of the military system of the Wu Dynasty, and there was no need for further subdivision. ”

Everyone nodded one after another, and an elder interjected: "The hundred-man team is the Wu Dynasty's conquest of the wilderness, the crystallization of thousands of years of experience, it can be gathered or dispersed, it can be attacked and defended, and it is the most handy to command." The barbarians split the hundred-man team into ten people and one spear, which seems to be more flexible, but in fact, it weakens the command power of the hundred-man captain, which is not enough. ”

Although everyone didn't say it explicitly, the implication was that they were quite unimpressed with the establishment of the barbarian army.

Yin Qin smiled: "But I am lonely, although I am a barbarian, but I have been a slave since I was a child, and I have never returned to the tribe of my ancestors." However, as for the military formation of the Wu Dynasty, I have carefully pondered the Tao of it. In my opinion, the reason why the military system of the Wu Dynasty set the most basic structure at 100 people is mainly due to two reasons. First, the Terran monks fought on the battlefield, and they used many magic weapons and spirit runes, and they could kill and injure the enemy from a dozen feet away. If a hundred monks form a battle formation, they can gather their strength in one place and defeat the strong with the weak. I've even heard that there was a precedent for a hundred Qi Refining Cultivators to form a formation and block a single blow from the Demon King. ”

Seeing that he was diligent and did not shy away from his background, he also admired it in his heart, he was the most meticulous in doing things, shook his head and explained: "This kind of rumor is taken for granted, and it should not be true. The bloodline of the demon beast is strong to the fifth level, and the spirit is full of wisdom, called the demon king, and the power of its one blow is roughly equivalent to the ancestor of our human race. If the strength of the monks can be stacked, then with the combined efforts of forty or fifty Qi Refining Great Perfection monks, they can withstand the fifth-level demon king. The problem is that the spiritual power of the monk is not a straw rope, and several strands can be twisted together casually. Even with the help of the formation, the spiritual power of the hundred Qi Refining Great Perfection is gathered, at most, it can withstand the blow of the monks who build the foundation Great Perfection. What's more, whether it is the ancestor or the demon king, they all have the potential to be coercive, and the qi refining cultivator is under the pressure of the ancestor, not to mention that the luck can resist, and if he is not scared, he can be regarded as a strong man!"

"In any case, gathering the strength of all people to resist a strong enemy is the strength of the Terran monks, and this is one of them. Another reason for teaming up with 100 people is the limitation of geography. Throughout history, all the conquests between the human race and the demon race or the barbarian race were in the flat land of the wasteland, and only in this way can we give full play to the advantages of the joint efforts of the human monks. This is also one of the reasons why the demon clan is as strong as a forest, but they often return in front of the iron army of the human race. ”

After making a courteous comment, everyone was impressed, and he changed his words and said: "Although the 100-man team has the above advantages, it is not suitable for our current situation. First of all, our purpose is to march quickly, not to defend against strong enemies, and more importantly, from Wolf Town to Huaci Peak, it is all rugged mountain roads, not a flat wasteland, and the 100-man team walks on the narrow mountain roads, and the front and back cannot echo at all. I have been in the rear with Senior Sister Lan in the past few days, and the disciples who have fallen behind have not all been left behind by the team. Many of them deserted halfway, and they fell behind when they peed. ”

In the end, it was the blue and the dog who made a decision, and decided to reorganize according to the courtesy's suggestion.

The order was passed down, and there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping on the camp, standing in the dark, looking at the panicked and busy appearance of those sleepy teenagers, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although the military system of the 100-man team has been inherited for thousands of years, as Master Lin said, gathering the power of the monks is not as simple as condensing hemp ropes, and he has his own ideas about the future wars that will take place in the wasteland.
