Lin Yi took out some melee weapons from the warehouse, including some military knuckles and Swiss daggers, and distributed them to everyone.
Next, Lin Yi started training his close combat skills.
"Remember, there are no dead ends in close combat. You don't have to stick to one move or one style. As long as you can defeat your opponent, it's a good move!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Now, two people in a group, let's do a real battle drill!”
With Lin Yi's hard work, the entire right guard camp entered a new training mode.
Archery, traditional weapons, and close combat skills were advancing together.
……
On the other side, the Left Military Guards were also training.
As the commander of the Left Military Guards, Zhangsun Chong knew nothing about training soldiers. Fortunately, the Left Military Guards General was Chai Shao, the husband of Li Shimin's sister, Princess Ping Yang, Li Xiu Ning. Thus, he had a good relationship with Li Shimin's brother-in-law, Zhangsun Wuji. Now, the morale of the entire Left Military Guards army was also high under Chai Shao's training.
Looking at the bravery of the Left Military Guards, Zhangsun Wuji could not help but smile with relief.
"Sichang, it's been hard on you recently. Chong-er's matter has troubled you.”
Chai Shao smiled." What's so hard about that? Leading troops to war is my duty. Besides, I like Chong-er too. Why wouldn't I be happy to help him marry Princess Changle?"”
"With Sichang's words, the Zhangsun Clan can rest in peace!”
Chai Shao smiled confidently," Don't worry, I'm not as good as the Duke of Wei in terms of military strategy, and I'm not as good as Shiji in terms of commanding. But I don't care about the others. Right guard general Li Shentong was a useless person, and now that Lin Yi has taken over the right guard, even if this kid has the ability to reach the heavens, he can't turn the tables in a week. I'll win this battle with my eyes closed, so prepare the princess 'betrothal gifts!"”
"Hahahaha, good! I'll go prepare it now!"
The confident Chai Shao didn't put Lin Yi in his eyes, but a few days later, he couldn't even cry.
……
The training of the Right Military Guards continued. It was almost a perverted training. After two days, everyone's archery, weapons, and fighting skills had made great progress. It was visible to the naked eye.
However, there was still some distance to Lin Yi's request.
There was still some distance to go before they could defeat the main force of three thousand left guards.
There were many old, weak, sick, and disabled among the Right Guards. Although they tried their best, their physical strength was limited. They often could not meet the requirements during training and dragged down the entire team.
Lin Yi thought about it-there was a saying in the art of war-it was better to break one finger than to hurt five.
Among the three thousand people, there were many brave ones. It would be better to gather them together and form an elite army of five hundred people, the trump card of trump cards. The others would also be the sparring partners of these five hundred people. On the battlefield, these five hundred people would be the absolute main force, and the others would support from the flanks.
Lin Yi immediately started with his plan-he was going to select the best from the right guards. The competition was divided into three rounds, including archery, traditional weapons, and close combat. Then, based on the overall results, the top five hundred and forty people would be selected to form a true king's division.
"From now on, you are all official members of the Hunter Group. You only have one mission, and that is to mercilessly harvest your enemies!”
The reason why he chose 540 people instead of 500 people was because Lin Yi decided to train an invincible formation after some research.
This invincible formation was called the Six Flower Formation, which was created by the strategist Li Jing of the Tang Empire. This formation was derived from the Eight Formations of Marquis Wu, but it was far more subtle and profound. With six people in a team, each holding a weapon, it was the only way to defeat more people. In history, Li Jing had used this formation to defeat more than 200,000 Turkic cavalry at the foot of the Yin Mountains and captured the Jie Li Khan. From then on, the Turks were unable to recover and could no longer resist the Great Tang.
The main function of this formation was to defeat more people with fewer forces. Among the Right Guards, only 600 or 700 people could be defeated. The rest were mostly old, weak, sick, and disabled. However, the Left Guards were different. More than 3,000 people were like ferocious tigers descending from the mountain. In order to defeat them, in addition to increasing one's own strength, one could also use the formation to defeat more people with fewer forces.
And this Six Flower Formation was the only way to defeat more with fewer people.
To put it simply, the Six Flower Formation was a formation like the Six Flowers. Usually, the central army was in the center, while the right front army, right right front army, right marquis Yu army, left marquis Yu army, left left front army, and left rear army were outside. The large formation covered the small formation, and the large formation covered the small camp. The various camps were connected, and the different types of soldiers cooperated with each other, making the formation have the characteristics of concentration, mobility, coordination, and so on. When one side was in trouble, the five sides would support. There were dozens of formations that could change unpredictably.
The 540-man Hunter Group was divided into 90 teams, with six people in each team. Among the six people, two were good at archery, two were good at traditional weapons, and two were good at close combat. It could be said that the distribution was scientific and reasonable.
In the next two days, the Hunter Group practiced the Six Flower Formation. Their cooperation became increasingly tacit and vigorous. The entire army was full of confidence in the upcoming actual combat drill.
