Mythical Three Kingdoms

Other methods are also quite powerful, but these few are the mainstream, which means that the most effective way to enhance the combat power for the Han Dynasty right now is the military formation.

Therefore, after the Rome-Parthian probing battles wiped out a Super Elite Legion, as long as the people who came from the Han Dynasty understood military formations, they immediately started practicing because, after all, this is their specialty in the Han Dynasty. Even if they excel in the Spearhead Formation, it can still enhance their combat power.

”You two have been watching for so long. Have you seen anything?” Suddenly hearing someone else’s voice behind them, the two of Lyu Meng who were savoring the peeking, were directly startled.

It must be said that the Six Mirror Flowers drilled by Sheni Pei indeed strongly suppressed the strength of those around him, resulting in Pan Zhang’s perception being suppressed and not noticing Chen Gong beside him.

”Sheni Zhengnan, there’s a problem with your military formation.” After startling Lyu Meng and Pan Zhang, Chen Gong leaned against the camp wall and yelled in the direction of Sheni Pei.

Sheni Pei turned his head towards Chen Gong. He had felt a bit unsmooth while drilling before, and after Chen Gong pointed it out, he stopped.

”Yuanbo, you continue drilling, I’ll go over for a moment,” Sheni Pei said with a gloomy expression.

”Yes, Think Tank,” Gao Lan nodded and said. After Sheni Pei left, Gao Lan immediately ordered the soldiers to train in Sword and Shield coordination.

”Chen Gongtai, do you understand this?” As Sheni Pei rode over, he wasn’t bothered by the slightly awkward Lyu Meng and Pan Zhang, asking while looking at Chen Gong riding beside him.

”Well, I understand a bit.” Since Chen Gong had participated in the Northern Frontier War, when Chen Xi, Zhou Yu, and others were analyzing military formations, he couldn’t miss it, plus he’s not stupid, so he would tinker with it daily during that period.

In comparison, the difficulty of Sheni Pei’s current military formation is much simpler than that one, and the principles are quite similar, so Chen Gong can talk about it confidently.

”I see, thank you Gongtai for clarifying.” Sheni Pei gratefully returned the courtesy, although relying on his aptitude wouldn’t take long to complete, Chen Gong’s answer indeed saved him a lot of time and deepened his understanding.

”No need, actually, if you want to learn military formations, you can go to Zhuge Kongming. He is very skilled at this, and as long as you ask, he will teach you.” Chen Gong pointed to Zhuge Liang’s tent and said, ”Chen Zichuan has him here with this intention because he understands everything.”

”Uh?” Lyu Meng froze, but Sheni Pei realized instantly, Chen Xi’s previous clear attitude had already explained many problems.

”Let’s go to Zhuge Kongming’s place. I was wondering why Sima Zhongda was bringing tea and snacks in the morning, along with breakfast, to Zhuge Kongming. Turns out it’s rooted here, Sima Zhongda indeed has a flexible mind,” Sheni Pei said somewhat self-deprecatingly.

Speaking of which, going to Zhuge Liang to study at his age is indeed somewhat embarrassing, but now the Yuan Family’s assets are left with only so much. Reducing losses is equivalent to gains; Sheni Pei wasn’t about to miss out because of his face.

Lyu Meng didn’t mind; he could dispatch the Elite Troops of Danyang to Li Jue to mix with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry for coordination, and then come here to peek at Sheni Pei’s training. He felt even more comfortable going to Zhuge Liang’s place for classes.

As for Pan Zhang, Lyu Meng’s words were very reasonable. Becoming stronger is more important than anything else, and listening to the wisdom of such a smart person as Zhuge Liang was quite good.

On the other side, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Duan Wei were practicing coordination with the elite of Danyang, as, back in the day, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the elite of Danyang had coordinated before and knew each other’s strengths. Compared to the somewhat inexperienced Xiliang Iron Cavalry and elite of Danyang back then, both sides have made significant progress this time.

”Deng Er, speaking of which, when you were fighting the Qiang People with us back in Xiliang, you were a Centurion. How come now you are still a Centurion?” Li Jue asked a familiar person with slight puzzlement.

”Who is like you guys?” Deng Er said with slight annoyance, ”You guys now, when we meet you, we even have to call Sovereign Marquis; it’s ridiculous.”

”Hahaha, I’m telling you, you guys should have stayed in Xiliang and mixed with us back then, but you insisted on returning to Danyang. Just based on our teamwork to eradicate Beigong Boyu back then, you wouldn’t end up like this,” Li Jue laughed aloud. ”But speaking of which, I see quite a few familiar faces among the crowd.”

”The old brothers from back then who are still in the military are only us left, the others either retired or died in battle, you guys have it better,” Deng Er sighed and said, life’s experiences cannot be expressed at all.

”Join us, from Jincheng till now; there are fewer and fewer brothers following us,” Li Jue sighed and said, ”But compared to back then, you guys are much stronger now.”

”It’s the same; aren’t you much stronger now too?” Deng Er said, looking at the Danyang Troops practicing coordination with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry alongside them, ”Stronger is better; stronger means you can survive. What are the odds of us taking on that Thirteenth Legion with your backing?”

”Cannot completely annihilate them,” Li Jue glanced back at the Parthian Army cutting down trees and spoke.

”I think the same, a garbage commander letting such elite troops be destroyed by weaklings is simply disgraceful,” Deng Er said with disdain, ”So this thing called ’Commander,’ if it can’t command well, it’s better off not having it.”

Li Jue was speechless. Yes, the elites of Danyang are a troop type that doesn’t need a commander to exert their full combat power.

”Exactly, the legion we lead being destroyed by weaklings is indeed disgraceful, but from any angle, Parthia isn’t weak.” Li Jue looked at Ardashir there, directing his subordinates to carry huge logs and said.

Specifying the incineration of an elite talent for any Super Elite is an ability akin to a nemesis. Li Jue thought several times about how he would respond if he fell into the situation faced by the Thirteen Roses Legion previously.

Though imagining one’s allies as enemies may not be quite appropriate, when seeing Ardashir, Li Jue couldn’t help but generate thoughts on how to counter him.

However, no matter how Li Jue thought, he genuinely couldn’t envision how to handle such a situation. Though the Thirteen Roses Legion being caught off guard played a role, if it were him, he would also directly attack the enemy’s main formation.

Because his legion, or rather all Super Elite Legions, embody a kind of confidence; if they don’t even have the courage to break through the enemy’s spirit, how can they be called super elite? If they don’t even have the confidence to withdraw safely even if they can’t win, can they still be called super elite?

Li Jue didn’t know how others would choose, but he knew if he stood in the position of the Rose Corps, he would almost make the same choice; he too would go for a strong attack, and fall into that kind of predicament. In that predicament, he similarly had no way to break out.
