My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 136: The Mandarin Duck Formation shows its power, Zeng Anmin recites "Farewell to the Soldier"

Military formation.

No matter in past or present life.

They are both formations that can produce tremendous power when two armies are fighting.

Take the history that Zeng Anmin knows as an example.

In the past, Japanese pirates were rampant along the southeastern coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty.

The famous general Qi Jiguang created a military formation based on the southeastern coastal areas with many hills and gullies, crisscrossing rivers and canals, narrow roads, and the combat characteristics of Japanese pirates.

What is even more coincidental is that the Japanese pirates are the same as the current demon tribe.

They are very good at fighting in this small space, but their disadvantage is that they are poor, without armor and lack soldiers.

Several features add up.

Zeng Anmin was eager to try it out. If he formed this formation himself, what kind of power would it be? !
By now.

Passing the imperial examination was no longer Zeng Anmin's goal.

There was a light in his eyes that made people dare not look directly at it.

Whether it is his character or killing monsters, he can do it in the illusion array.

So passing the scientific examination was too easy for him.

Now, he wanted to try through the illusion array to see if his array, the Mandarin Duck Formation, could be as powerful as the Ming Dynasty general Qi Jiguang in killing the Japanese pirates!
"Whoo~"

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.

Suppressing the urgency in my heart.

Think carefully first, the most important thing to form a mandarin duck formation is...

Zeng Anmin slowly raised his head and looked towards a bamboo forest not far ahead.

The bamboos grown in the south are extremely thick, with forks on top similar to tree trunks. These forks are also extremely tough, and after being sharpened, each forked branch can become a sharp weapon for penetrating the flesh and blood body.

And this weapon is the most important core of the Mandarin Duck Formation!
Wolf Whip!

Each wolf-whip is about 3 meters long. The wolf-whip holder uses the sharp blade at the front of the wolf-whip to stab the enemy to cover the advance of the shield bearer and the attack of the spearman behind.

Just before that...

Zeng Anmin turned his head slowly.

His eyes turned toward the steep and dangerous terrain below the mountain.

The top of this green mountain is a slope, but the terrain is not dangerous enough.

In other words, if he had an army of 10,000.

If all of them were formed into a mandarin duck formation, it would definitely produce a huge effect between these mountains.

But now, including myself, there are only fifty soldiers in total.

If we encounter a large enemy force on this gently sloping mountain road, we will probably be in trouble.

He was not so arrogant as to think that after forming the Mandarin Duck Formation, he could move freely among the troops.

That's stupid arrogance.

"If you want to go down the mountain, is there a more dangerous path?"

Zeng Anmin looked at a strong man among the soldiers.

The voice was deep.

If only there could be a more dangerous mountain path.

He was confident that he could maximize the advantages of the Mandarin Duck Formation!

Although the road under their feet was barely passable, it was still too wide for the forty soldiers led by Zeng Anmin.

"Have!"

After hearing Zeng Anmin's words, a strong man stood up and answered.

But his eyes were somewhat puzzled.

He looked at Zeng Anmin with great confusion.

Zeng Anmin did not keep the secret, but said in a deep voice:
"There are countless demon tribes in this mountain. If we face them on this relatively wide mountain road, we will have no chance of escaping."

"So if you want to survive, you have to take a more difficult mountain path."

Zeng Anmin's voice was solemn.

only……

"You may not know much about military affairs."

A strong man looked at Zeng Anmin with a wry smile: "We know what you said."

“It’s just that the momentum of the mountains is like a fish swimming in water to the people of the demon race.”

"They have lived in the mountains since they were born. No matter how steep the terrain is, it is just like flat ground to those animals."

"So, if we encounter the demon army on the mountain road, even if it is just a small force, we are no match for them..."

The more the man spoke, the quieter his voice became.

Obviously, the morale boosted by Zeng Anmin was only temporary.

Zeng Anmin's words showed that he knew nothing about military affairs.

The little bit of morale that had just been aroused dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Everyone was silent.

Zeng Anmin could naturally feel all of this.
After listening to it, he just nodded slowly, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Then he started laughing slowly: "Hahahahahaha!"

The laughter is long, confident and unhurried.

Hearing his laughter, all the soldiers were stunned.

They all looked at him in confusion.

After Zeng Anmin finished laughing, he straightened his chest and spoke with unparalleled confidence:
"I have a plan. After forming a team, we can guarantee victory even if we encounter a demon army on a steep mountain road!"

When he said this, there was a look of disdain in his eyes, like that of a peerless warrior!
"What formation?"

Everyone was at a loss.

"I learned this formation from Sai Chuxue, a disciple of Master Xu Tianshi of the Xuanzhen Division!"

Zeng Anmin pretended to be profound, with a proud look on his face:

"But if I want to form this formation, it will cost me a lot. If it weren't for the critical moment of life and death, I wouldn't take it out."

Zeng Anmin also knew that if he wanted to reignite morale now.

The only way is to use the tiger's skin to raise the banner.

Ok?
Xuanzhen Division?
Disciple of Master Xu? ?
After hearing Zeng Anmin's words.

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

The Xuanzhen Division is an extremely eye-catching living signboard in the Great Sage Dynasty.

Master Xu is an old immortal, and all of his disciples are young immortals.

A ray of hope flickered in the eyes of every soldier.

"Come with me."

Zeng Anmin didn't say much to them, but just led the way towards the bamboo forest.

Not long after.

He had already cut down a bamboo that looked very good.

The fine knife in his hand shaved each bamboo head into a sharp point.

Quick work.

A top-quality wolf spear appeared in his hand.

The wolf spear is three meters long and feels like a giant umbrella when held in the hand.

"Listen to my command and cut ten identical ones."

Zeng Anmin spoke in a deep voice, looking at the soldiers who followed him, with majesty in his voice.

Subconsciously.

The soldiers obeyed his orders and completed his orders at a very fast speed.

It is very obvious, whether in terms of status, words, or actions.

In a very short time, Zeng Anmin had suppressed this group of soldiers and they gradually recognized him as the leader of this group.

This is an excellent phenomenon.

Not long after.

The strange-shaped wolf trap had already been made.

"Very good, now we will form a team of 11 people."

"The leader is in the front, followed by two people, one holding a long card and the other holding a round card."

"Holding a long shield in hand, they block the arrows and spears of the demon tribe..."

Zeng Anmin did not hesitate.

Time is limited, and he must bring out the best of this group of soldiers within this limited time.

Fortunately, the soldiers following him on this mountain were all experienced warriors.

Extremely disciplined.

Also very obedient.

Moreover, everyone was equipped with a full range of weapons, armor, shields and spears.

Although there was no shield, there was a round shield instead.

Zeng Anmin looked at the two people at the outermost edge and handed over the two wolf guns in his hand:

"Two more people will hold wolf-whips in their hands."

Then he looked at the team of eleven people in front of him.

There was a flicker of excitement in his eyes.

Mandarin duck array!
It was almost exactly the same as the Mandarin Duck Formation in his memory!
"This formation is called the Mandarin Duck Formation!"

Zeng Anmin pointed at the square formation of eleven people and said to the remaining soldiers:

"It was created by Master Xu Tianshi of the Xuanzhen Division, and is specially designed to restrain the monsters on the mountain roads!"

"It is only because I have a good relationship with that Miss Sai that I was able to hear this. You must remember that if you want to walk out of this mountain alive today, you must not leak a single word!"

At this point, Zeng Anmin's eyes narrowed, and his voice became dangerous:
"If not, I will not forgive you!!"

"Did you hear that?!"

His voice was like thunder.

"heard it!!"

There was even excitement on the faces of all the soldiers.

Wow! This formation was created by the Immortal Xu himself!

Saved!
There is salvation!!
At this point, no one doubted what Zeng Anmin said anymore.

See how they perform.

Zeng Anmin felt relieved.

It's hard for him to hear that, really.

For morale and military spirit.

He used coaxing, deception, intimidation and inducement!

Not easy!

"Start forming the formation now!"

Zeng Anmin waved his hand.

His eyes turned to the remaining soldiers.

There was an unquestionable look on his face!

"Yes!!"

Subconsciously, the remaining soldiers regarded Zeng Anmin as their leader.

They all answered.

They even saluted him together.

Soon, four identical mandarin duck formations gathered together.

A solemn and murderous aura slowly condensed from the military formation.

"Wang Erma! Didn't you just say there was an even more dangerous mountain path?"

Zeng Anmin looked towards the man.

As I said, if you want to unleash the maximum power of the Mandarin Duck Formation.

You must take the most dangerous mountain path.

Of course, the most important thing is that if you walk on this wide mountain path under your feet, you will be entangled by a group of demon soldiers. Then your fate will be to be dragged alive until the rest of the demon army arrives.

And then was annihilated...

"Reporting to the military supervisor, the mountain path is two miles to the south!"

With Zeng Anmin's help, everyone's desire to survive is now very strong.

There was even fanaticism in Wang Erma's eyes when he looked at Zeng Anmin.

"go!"

…………

Outside the illusion array.

Sai Chuxue looked at the scroll in the array with a confused look on her face.

A big question mark appeared in my mind.

"When did I teach him this kind of formation?"

"My Xuanzhen Division only has formations, how can there be a military formation?"

But at this moment, many people in the field were already looking at her.

She was socially anxious and had to block it with a cold and serious face.

Not a word.

He raised his head calmly and continued to look at the huge scroll in the air.

…………

"arrive!"

The four armies marched for less than half an hour before arriving at an extremely steep mountain path.

With this half hour's walk.

The newly established mandarin duck formation is becoming more and more smooth.

They are veterans of many battles, and although the formation is unfamiliar to them, they can unleash the power of the formation once they become familiar with it.

The moment I saw this mountain path.

Zeng Anmin's eyes lit up.

The steep mountain path can only accommodate three or four people walking side by side at the same time!
Like a goat's intestine, it stretches all the way to the foot of the mountain!

But for the Mandarin Duck Formation, this is simply a dream come true!
Look at this steep mountain road.

The soldiers in the Mandarin Duck Formation all felt a chill in their hearts.

They have fought against the demon tribe.

Naturally, one knows what will happen if the Great Sage's army encounters the demon army on this kind of mountain road.

They were originally somewhat confident.

At this moment, the enthusiasm on his face slowly subsided.

The stool is a little uneasy.

Zeng Anmin had a blank expression on his face.

He looked at the soldiers indifferently.

He knew that he had to say something at this time to encourage the sergeant again.

Without hesitation, he slowly picked up a wolf sword.

From the back of the formation, slowly walk to the front of the formation.

"Remember what I said before?"

"If we encounter a demon army, I will lead the charge!"

"Follow me!!"

"Now, it's time for me to fulfill my promise!"

As he spoke, he had already walked into the frontmost formation.

"If I have to die, I'll be the first one to die!"

Zeng Anmin's voice was extremely steady.

But everyone can hear it.

The soldiers' bodies all trembled slightly.

"General Zeng, that's what you said, but you are the most familiar with this formation. If you die, we will definitely be fish on the chopping board..."

"Yeah, you just stand in the back and give orders. Let us do the killing!"

……

Obviously, as an army that has experienced many battles, they know that if the leader dies, the morale will be gone.

Zeng Anmin looked indifferent.

"I am a Confucian and Taoist monk, with a great and righteous spirit in my heart."

"This great and righteous spirit is not the energy of heaven and earth!"

He took a deep breath and looked forward:

"It's integrity! It's justice!"

"I'm not arguing with you."

"The righteousness of the greatness has a very obvious restraining effect on the demon race, so it is most appropriate for me to take the lead in this formation!"

Zeng Anmin's words had just fallen.

Then, a very strange wolf howl was heard not far away.

"Ow!!!!"

The sound of wolves howling is extremely strange in this mountain.

It makes one's scalp tingle when listening to it.

"Enemy troops are here!!"

All the soldiers looked intently and held their weapons tightly.

"Wow~"

Looking down along the winding mountain path.

A team of about thirty people rushed towards here at a very fast speed.

Extremely fast!

They can walk on this steep mountain road as if it were flat ground! !
As they approached.

Zeng Anmin saw it very clearly.

Human body, wolf head, each figure has bloodthirsty eyes.

Although there is still some distance.

But Zeng Anmin seemed to have smelled the fishy smell in their mouths following the wind.

"Keep your formation! Get ready to meet the enemy!!"

Zeng Anmin was in the formation, looking at the team of people with wolf heads and human bodies approaching gradually in front of him.

There was a gleam of light in his eyes.

Hearing his words, everyone stood up straight subconsciously.

At this point, there is no point in saying anything more.

Meeting the enemy is the key!
"Boom, boom, boom."

Everyone's heart was pounding.

Zeng Anmin took advantage of the fact that there was still some time before the two armies met and raised his voice suddenly:
"Everyone, the war is about to begin. Are you afraid?!"

"Don't be afraid!!"

In answer to him, there was a chorus of loud noises, like thunder!

"Hahaha!!!"

Zeng Anmin laughed wildly, raised the long wolf sword in his hand, and his voice suddenly became louder:

"The general marched south with great courage, with a sword on his waist."

"The wind blows the drums and the mountains and rivers shake; the lightning flashes and the flags rise high as the sun and the moon."

"The unicorn in the sky has its own species, how can the ants in the cave escape?"

"On the day when Taiping Taizhao returns home, I will take off my battle robes with you all."

Wait until he finishes speaking.

The enemy is approaching!!
Only...Kill!!!
