Zhangsun Chong led 3000 left guards to the stage.
The 3000 soldiers were all fully armed, like tigers descending from the mountains.
On the side, Chai Shao looked at the army he had personally created, filled with confidence.
Seeing this, Li Shi Min nodded.
The Left Guards were indeed the strongest of the Twelve Guards, and these three thousand elite soldiers were the cream of the crop. Each of them was skilled in battle and could take on ten enemies at once.
Unfortunately, Lin Yi's right guard was one against a hundred!
Then, Lin Yi led the 540 hunters into the arena.
"Wait!"
Li Shi Min frowned. There were only 3000 people here. Why was only a small portion of them going up? Why didn't the rest go up?
"Lin Yi, what are you doing? How many people are there?"
"Your Majesty, a total of 540 people!”
"Do you know how many people there are?"
"A total of 2987 people!" Lin Yi said calmly.”
Li Shimin was shocked and asked Zhangsun Chong,""Is this the number?"
"Yes…"
"Lin Yi, how did you know?”
"The three of them traveled together for 70 years, and there were 21 plum blossoms on the five trees. The seven children were reunited in the middle of the first month, and we will know after dividing 105.”
"This…could this be Han Xin's recruitment?”
"That's right! This poem was a formula for calculating a problem. It was titled 'Things cannot be counted', also known as' Sun Zi Calculating a Problem 'and was left behind by the War Saint Sun Wuzi. There is a question in the calculation: 'I don't know how many things there are. There are two left in the number of three-three, three left in the number of five-five, and two left in the number of seventy-seven. How many things are there?”
Since this question was left behind by Sun Wu, it was also in line with the art of war. Speaking of which, this was just an extremely simple modern counting method. As long as the soldiers were arranged in a formation of three three, five five, and seven seven, the total number of soldiers could be calculated.
Han Dynasty generals Han Xin and Li Shimin knew this very well. These two were invincible when it came to using troops, but they were also experts in this path.
Therefore, this method was also known as 'Han Xin's Military Arrival', or' King Qin's Secret Arrival'. The so-called Secret Arrival', no matter how many soldiers there were, as long as they were arranged according to the formation, the general would instantly know the number by observing the formation.
Li Shimin didn't like Lin Yi's talent, but he also didn't feel good about it.
He had thought that he was the only one in the entire Tang who knew how to recruit soldiers, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to know this as well. What a genius!
"Lin Yi, are you underestimating the left guard? With just 540 people, they were going to fight against nearly 3,000 left guards?”
"So what? As the art of war says, the quality of soldiers lies in quality, not in quantity. How can a mere 3,000 Zuo Wu Wei be worth mentioning?”
"Well said!"
Chai Shao sneered and shouted,"What arrogant words. I want to see how powerful the Right Guard is to be so arrogant! Left military guard, listen up. Although it's a friendly spar later and no blood is allowed, the right military guard is clearly looking down on us. What should we do?”
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The match had yet to begin, but the smell of gunpowder on the field was already suffocating.
Zhangsun Chong was pleased with Lin Yi's arrogance-540 people wanting to take down 3000 people was a fool's dream!
All the officials shook their heads, thinking that Lin Yi had no choice.
Since they couldn't win, it would be better to send fewer people out. At that time, they would have a reason to lose.
However, they were wrong…
"Alright, since you insist on doing this, I won't force you. However, if you lose, you can't use this as an excuse to deny it.”
"Don't worry, a loss is a loss, a win is a win. Why deny it?”
The match soon began. Li Shiming gave both sides the time for an incense stick to burn to arrange their formations.
In ancient times, when fighting, formations were important. If the formation was messed up, even a hundred thousand troops might not be able to defeat three thousand enemies.
The Left Martial Guards had the advantage in numbers, so they didn't even need to set up a formation. They just had to push through.
The right guard, on the other hand, was in a formation of six flowers under Lin Yi's command. From afar, it looked like a flower petal.
"You guys, quickly change into your camouflage uniforms…"
Without anyone noticing, a few small teams had already changed into camouflage uniforms. Under the cover of the army, they hid quietly and blended into the ground without anyone noticing…
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the competition officially began.
"Charge!"
Zhangsun Chong pointed at the flag, and the Left Guards immediately rushed over like ferocious tigers. Relying on the advantage of numbers, they surrounded the Right Guards.
"Get into formation and face the enemy!"
In an instant, the right guard reacted. The 500-strong Six Flower Formation quickly separated and formed more than 80 small Six Flower Formations.
Lin Yi observed the situation and shouted,"The wind from the southwest, the shape of the sky!"
The Six Flower Formation suddenly turned and formed a special formation. It rushed southwest and was about to enter the enemy's defense line.
The Left Guards immediately gathered their forces to reinforce the southwest, but halfway through, Lin Yi shouted,"The water of the west, the image of the green blade!"
In an instant, the Six Flower Formation changed drastically. The front changed to the right, the right to the center, the center to the left, the left to the back, and the back to the right. It turned into a spindle-like shape and collided with the west. Lin Yi shouted,"Xiao Xu to the north, Da Zhuang to the south, Long Pan Formation.”In an instant, the formation turned into the shape of a dragon and snake, twisting and turning. It pretended to charge north, but in fact, it charged south. It looked east and west, coiling and opening. In an instant, it connected with the variable formation and rushed out more than 300 feet.
