"Good! Good! Good!"

The crowd was filled with excitement and their energy was at its peak. Many even had bloodshot eyes from the excitement.

Those shouts were so deafening, they seemed to reach the heavens!

Wei Zhonghu, Wei Zhongbao, and Liu Shiyun were still seriously arranging their troops when they were suddenly drawn to the shouts of Sun Jian's soldiers.

Not only them, but even their soldiers looked on in surprise, wondering what was happening over there.

Not only were they dumbfounded, but even Wei Zhong'e, who was drinking tea on the main platform, was dumbfounded and almost spat out his tea.

"General, what exactly is the Xuanwu team in the north up to?"

The captain who had spoken was stunned for a moment before turning to ask Wei Zhong'e, who glared at him and said, "You're asking me? Who the hell am I supposed to ask!"

"Go ask him yourself if you want to know!"

After being scolded, the captain swallowed hard and dared not speak again.

Wei Zhong'e's expression turned serious at this moment.

With the time running out and less than 45 minutes remaining, he had yet to deploy his troops or arrange any formations or arrays.

What on earth is this brat Sun Jian up to?

On the other hand, Sun Jian's side saw that the atmosphere among the crowd had reached its peak, and everyone trusted him completely, looking at him as if he were a god.

Sun Jian began to arrange his battle tactics.

The tactics and strategies he used next were unprecedented in this era.

Not only is it simple, but most importantly, it is practical. It can even deal with any formation or array. As long as everyone works together, it can achieve a complete combination of offense and defense.

Training their strength, explosiveness, and even coordination and combat capabilities in a short period of time is completely impossible and unrealistic.

This is a drawback of the new team, and Sun Jian understands this deeply.

Therefore, Sun Jian avoided the drawbacks and thus leveraged the team's cohesion to compensate for these shortcomings.

Sun Jian ordered everyone to form groups of eight, and the thousand people were divided into one hundred and twenty-five groups.

These 125 groups were further divided into 5 combat echelons.

The first echelon is the guerrilla echelon, mainly responsible for harassment, blocking reinforcements, and stalling.

The second and third echelons are the attacking echelons, mainly responsible for assaulting the opponent's formation from the front.

The fourth and fifth echelons are the surprise attack echelons, responsible only for attacking the enemy from the flanks, while also being tasked with reinforcing the enemy and disrupting their formation.

Each echelon uses different weapons, such as the fourth and fifth surprise attack echelons.

These fifty groups, each consisting of eight people, have four people holding shields to guard the front, back, left, and right sides, forming a square, while the remaining four people, two holding wooden spears and two holding wooden swords, are in the center of the formation.

The soldiers wielding wooden shields were only responsible for protecting the four members of their group; they were not concerned with anything else.

The four inside, two of whom wield wooden halberds, need to lure the enemy into their formation, and then slash wildly with their wooden swords, repeating this process to kill the enemy.

While Sun Jian was arranging his thousand soldiers, Wei Zhonghu, Wei Zhongbao, and even Liu Shiyun had already formed their battle formations.

Sun Jian stood on the general's platform, gazing into the distance.

Wei Zhonghu then formed a crane wing formation, which, from a distance, looked just like a white crane spreading its wings.

"Heh, interesting. Trying to surround me?"

Sun Jian, who had a passion for studying ancient battle formations in his previous life, recognized it at a glance.

The Crane Wing Formation is one of the most common and frequently used formations in ancient times. Its main function is to encircle. Archers are usually in the center of the formation, while mobile units similar to cavalry are usually on the sides. However, since there were no horses in this exercise, Wei Zhonghu used wooden halberd soldiers instead.

Once engaged in battle with an enemy in the Crane Wing Formation, the enemy will usually first use their mobile units on both sides to surround us, then unleash a barrage of arrows, and then send out swordsmen and shieldmen to charge forward in one fell swoop, disrupting our formation.

But Wei Zhonghu was dreaming.

Sun Jian didn't have a formation at all; each group was fighting independently. Who were you going to surround?

Wei Zhongbao selected the most elite Hu soldiers and set up the Xuanxiang Formation.

This caught Sun Jian's attention.

The Xuanxiang Formation is a versatile formation that can be used for both offense and defense, and can be switched quickly.

It seems that Wei Zhonghu and Wei Zhongbao intend to devour Sun Jian at an extremely fast pace right from the start.

Sun Jian's lips curled up slightly. "Interesting. I'd like to see how they devour me."

Look at Liu Shiyun of the Vermilion Bird team to the south. They are currently arranged in a wedge formation, similar to a cone or arrowhead shape. This is an offensive battle formation that emphasizes a central breakthrough.

In fact, Liu Shiyun initially intended to set up the Bagua Formation or the One-Character Long Snake Formation.

His main goal was to trap Wei Zhonghu and Wei Zhongbao, and then make himself the last one to save face for Sun Jian.

But after arriving at the general's platform to the south, Liu Shiyun suddenly realized what was going on.

He was in the south, and Sun Jian was in the north; the two of them were not adjacent to each other, but diagonally opposite.

On the contrary, if Liu Shiyun wanted to get close to Sun Jian, he would need to pass between Wei Zhonghu and Wei Zhongbao.

Liu Shiyun cursed under his breath, knowing full well that this was a trap set by Wei Zhong'e.

If the exercise begins, he will be the furthest from Sun Jian, making it unrealistic to offer help or support.

Wei Zhonghu and Wei Zhongbao could attack Sun Jian from two directions.

Sun Jian led a group of greenhorns, none of whom had received any military training. How could they possibly be a match for him?

Therefore, Liu Shiyun had to change his original Bagua Formation and Yizi Long Snake Formation into the current Arrowhead Formation.

The goal was to practice heading straight to Sun Jian's south at the start of the exercise and find a way to rescue him.

"General, look... that Sun Jian... Deputy Commandant Sun, what kind of lineup does he have!"

Just as the drill was about to begin, the captain on the command platform was stunned to see that Sun Jian's direction had no groups of four and had formed a strange formation.

"hiss!"

Wei Zhong'e gasped, his brows furrowed, and he stood up abruptly from his chair, looking utterly astonished.

After watching it several times, he could confirm that he had never seen this lineup and formation before.

Not to mention he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, having served in the military for many years, he had naturally read many ancient books and military treatises, and he had never even seen it in those books!

It's neither a square formation nor a ninth-grade Xuanwu formation.

Something just doesn't look right!

Not only was he dumbfounded, but Wei Zhongbao in the east and Wei Zhonghu in the west were also bewildered.

"Does this young boy even know how to command troops? Give him a thousand men, and he manages to scatter them all?"

"I've never heard of such a formation before, I've never even seen one!"

"Does he even bother with troop deployments? Does His Majesty lack even the basic ability to judge character? Sending such a useless piece of trash to the Tiger Army..."

"But that's fine too. Capturing him so quickly makes it even more exciting, doesn't it? Hehe..."
