Yiyun Village.
Sun Gan and other officers and soldiers have officially integrated into the mountain stronghold. Pei Yun asked him to teach the bandits how to fight. At this moment, Sun Gan was asking five officers and soldiers to demonstrate to the bandits.
"Cone formation!" Sun Gan gave the order.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
Five officers and soldiers holding spears formed a cone and thrust forward. Although there were only five of them, the sound of killing was still full of momentum.
The soldiers who had eaten their fill were different from those in previous battles. Every time they thrust their spears, there was a whistling sound in the wind, which would have surely made a hole if it had hit a person.
This is a formation for charging at the enemy.
"Square and circle formation!"
Following Sun Gan's command, the formation changed suddenly.
The officers and soldiers at the front quickly retreated, and the five of them formed a circle with their backs to each other.
They crossed their spears with the tips pointing outward to form an airtight defensive circle. The five spears supported each other to form a stable structure.
This is a defensive formation. If you are surrounded by the enemy, this formation is enough to hold out for a while.
The bandits watched with great interest, as their daily training consisted of marching in step, goose-stepping, standing at attention, doing frog jumps, and cross-country running, and they had never seen this kind of formation change before.
"Goose Flying Formation!"
The formation changed again, and the five people quickly dispersed and arranged in a V-shape.
An officer is in front with a gun, and two soldiers on each side are holding guns pointing diagonally. The whole formation is like a wild goose spreading its wings.
"The cone formation attacks, the circle formation defends, and the goose formation is both offensive and defensive..."
Sun Gan walked to the front of the formation and explained loudly. He pointed to the officer and soldier in the front and said, "This is the head of the goose, responsible for facing the enemy head-on."
Then he pointed to the two sides, "These are the wings, which can deal with enemies coming from both sides at the same time. If you encounter a strong enemy, you can fold the wings together to form a defense; if the enemy retreats, you can spread the wings to expand the results of the battle."
As he spoke, he motioned for the officers and soldiers to demonstrate.
Five people were seen moving quickly, with the formation sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting. The most amazing thing was that the officers and soldiers on both sides could cross and switch positions at any time, making it difficult for the enemy to predict.
"If we encounter an ambush." Sun Gan continued to explain.
"The geese formation can turn quickly, with the two wings alternating to cover each other, and the head of the goose leading the way, so that they can retreat calmly."
Following Sun Gan's words, the five officers and soldiers maintained their formation, fighting and retreating at the same time, with the officers and soldiers on both sides taking turns to step forward to provide cover, which was truly ingenious.
After the demonstration, Sun Gan said: "This is just the formation evolved from the spear. There are also sword and shield formations, archer formations, etc. If you fully master it, you can greatly improve your combat effectiveness."
Chang Wei laughed and said, "This battle formation looks fancy, but it didn't seem to have much effect the last time you attacked. How about a fight?"
Sun Gan smiled and said, "Okay, I only have these five people, you can send anyone you want."
Pei Yun also wanted to see the power of this battle formation, so he let Li Kui, Baldy, Skinny Monkey, Pockmarked Face, and Bearded Man fight against them.
The five of them are the strongest among the bandits except Chang Wei and Pei Yun.
Hearing this, the bandits laughed and laughed. After defeating the government soldiers several times, their fear of them disappeared and they felt that they were nothing special.
After seeing the changes in the formation just now, I felt it was a bit intimidating, so I let these newcomers know that they, the bandits, are the most capable fighters.
The five bald men did not wear riot gear, but instead wore double-crotch armor obtained from the officers and soldiers, and used the officers and soldiers' shields and swords.
Of course, Li Kui used his previous double axes.
Soon, people from both sides started fighting. The sound of weapons clashing could be heard continuously. The three formations of officers and soldiers kept changing very smoothly.
"stop!"
Pei Yun spoke, both sides were already really angry, if the fight continued there would probably be casualties.
Baldy and the others were a little out of breath. They originally thought that it would be easy to take down these five people, but it turned out to be different from what they thought. The five opponents cooperated very well. If their personal strength was not stronger than that of the officers and soldiers, they would probably have been defeated after a while of fighting.
There was a hint of pride in Sun Gan's eyes. If the bandits had not been well-fed and well-equipped, how could they have failed in the night attack on New Year's Eve?
Now they have finally cleared their name, so that these bandits won’t look down on them anymore.
This is just a five-man battle formation. If the number of people is increased, the power of the battle formation will be even stronger.
"Not bad, not bad."
Pei Yun showed a smile on his face, he was very satisfied. The bandits fought on their own, and although there was some cooperation, it was not much.
If you learn how to fight in battle formations, you will no longer be a mob.
It's worth saving Sun Gan's life.
"From today on, Sun Gan will be the coach of our village, responsible for teaching the battle formations. You all must study hard. If you can't learn, the amount of meat you eat will be halved."
When the bandits heard that the amount of meat would be reduced by half, they were shocked. They said, "You can beat me or scold me, but you can't reduce the amount of meat. Although I eat meat every day now, I never get tired of it."
Pei Yun gave the modern recipe to He Niang and even bought a wok specially for it.
In the past, they used to steam, stew, and simmers, but now they have stir-frying, which the bandits praise highly. The dishes are much better than those in the restaurants in the county town.
Of course, the main thing is to have a complete range of condiments. Without these condiments, even the dishes would have no taste.
The bandits have become quite picky eaters.
"Don't worry, Boss. We will definitely study hard."
"Yes, it's just a battle formation. I promise I'll learn it within a month."
Pei Yun said with a smile: "You said so. My requirements are not high. You must learn at least one dish a month. If you do, I will reward you with roast duck, one for each of you."
The bandits' eyes lit up. They had eaten roast duck during the Chinese New Year and had been thinking about it ever since. They wrapped it in dough, dipped it in sauce, and added shredded cucumber and green onion. It tasted so delicious after one bite.
They had never eaten duck cooked in this way before. Unfortunately, during the New Year, the boss didn't bring out many roast ducks, so each of them only ate two or three pieces of meat. Now that they have learned the battle formation, everyone can eat one. They will definitely work hard to learn it.
