He had a premonition that once his soldiers were trained, their overall strength would increase significantly.
I showed it to Dacheng and Dameng, and the three of them had the same opinion.
"I'll give it a try tomorrow," Da Yong said.
"If General Chu and General Guan ask, you don't have to attribute all the credit to me. Just say that it was decided after discussing it with me."
The three of them knew that Lian'er was trying to elevate them and help them gain more favor from General Guan.
They certainly wouldn't agree to claim it entirely as their own, so they use this kind of rhetoric.
But since it was Lian'er's idea, all they could do was try their best to make the family stronger and stronger so as not to let Lian'er down.
They practiced immediately, and after a thorough familiarization session that night, the three brothers had their soldiers practice on them as soon as they arrived at the military camp the next day.
After three days of training, the soldiers were proficient and then proposed to conduct combat drills with other officers.
“I’ve seen you guys fiddling with these unfamiliar formations for the past few days, and I’d like to see how they work,” said a soldier surnamed Rong, raising his chin.
“Yes, even if you don’t issue a challenge, I’ll take the initiative to try it out with you,” said another soldier surnamed Pei.
"Alright, let's have a friendly spar, but stop when we've reached our limit," Da Yong said. "We mustn't cause any casualties, or we won't be able to explain it to General Guan."
The training ground at the camp suddenly became lively.
Although they usually sparred, they were always practicing the same old techniques, so there was nothing new or exciting about it. But now that there was something new, everyone suddenly became interested.
Immediately, all the captains and soldiers, big and small, stopped their drills and gathered on both sides to cheer them on.
General Guan and General Chu were discussing matters at the main camp when the commotion attracted them out as well.
"What's going on? Why has everything stopped?" General Guan asked his men.
Immediately someone reported to him: "The three soldiers of the Qiao family have been training in new moves and formations these past few days. Now that the soldiers are almost proficient, they have issued a challenge."
"Oh, is that so?" General Guan also became interested: "Let's go to the fifth floor."
Chu Zhuo also went up with them, and the two generals stood by the railing.
I saw that the two sides had set up their formations, one conventional and the other unusual, but both seemed to follow basic experience.
"The formation that Qiao Dayong used looks quite innovative," General Chu said.
"Yes, we don't know how it will perform in practice yet. Let's wait and see." General Guan's face showed a hint of anticipation.
Under the command of the two senior officers, and amidst cheers of "Kill! Kill! Kill!", five hundred soldiers from each side "engaged in battle".
At first, the two sides were evenly matched, but soon, Qiao Dayong's troops split into countless small teams, weaving like snakes and trapping Rong Bingtou's men.
With no way to break through, Rong Bingtou's men quickly lost their formation and were helplessly controlled on all sides. They looked like headless flies, their faces filled with distress.
The soldiers who came to help were somewhat surprised; the new training method was indeed effective.
"Good, good, good!" they cheered in unison.
Immediately afterward, Da Cheng's men and Pei Bingtou's men charged at each other amidst shouts of battle. This time, Da Cheng's side gave the enemy no time to react, immediately forming a π formation. One side blocked the enemy's advance, while the other two branches split into two groups that penetrated the center. The remaining men surrounded the two sides, forcing the enemy to retreat and fall into complete disarray. This was clearly a driving formation.
General Guan's eyes gradually brightened.
