The place Li Feng arranged for Song Yan and others was a large courtyard with many rooms. Even if there were hundreds of people there, there would still be room.
After subduing this group of soldiers, Song Yan did not plan to leave the city immediately. As the saying goes, sharpening the sword does not waste time chopping wood. It is necessary for these soldiers to undergo some training in order to cooperate tacitly on the battlefield.
And in another courtyard.
Xuanyuan Lingtian, who had been on another battlefield for two years, easily controlled the ninety-five soldiers sent by Li Feng.
Knowing that Song Yan was a rookie who didn't understand military affairs, he decided to come and see his jokes.
I happened to see Song Yan giving a lecture, and then I saw Song Yan using two methods in succession to subdue the group of soldiers. I was surprised and a little disappointed at the same time.
So, he simply retreated quietly without showing his face.
Next, Song Yan conducted a thorough investigation of the nine Grandmaster warriors, including Liang Yunkun, and made some adjustments to the entire team.
Marching and fighting is not like fighting in groups. A good general can make the strength of his soldiers play out many times. It is not difficult to defeat the strong with the weak, and defeat the many with the few.
The more than ninety people sent by Li Feng were all selected from the patrol team.
Not the top batch, but not bad either.
Each patrol will form a battle formation.
At Song Yan's signal, the nine warriors arranged their battle formations.
After seeing it, Song Yan was slightly disappointed. The battle formation formed by the nine warriors was really crude.
Song Yan had studied the art of war and battle formations in the Great Qin Dynasty, and then returned to the real world and collected books on this subject to read. At the same time, after coming to this world, he went to the Sutra Collection Pavilion of the Qingwei Sect and the Shengwu Academy. He had deliberately read many books on formations in the library.
People in this world value personal force, but don't pay much attention to formations.
This gave Song Yan the idea of creating a battle formation.
After having an idea, he let the soldiers train on their own first, while he returned to the room to figure out the battle formation.
He has strong mental power and possesses the skill of integration.
Therefore, it only took him half an hour to integrate the knowledge of military tactics, battle formations and formations in his mind, and then spent another hour to deduce them.
Finally, three sets of battle formations were created.
A battle formation is called the Sanhe Dao Formation, which only requires three soldiers to form.
One is called Guiyi Battle Formation, which requires nine soldiers.
One is called the Beidou Battle Formation, which requires eighty-one people.
In the afternoon of that day, Xuanyuan Lingtian set off with a special patrol team.
Song Yan began to personally teach his soldiers to learn the three battle formations he created.
Because there were not many people in the Sanhe Dao Formation and the Guiyi Battle Formation, and everyone had previous experience, it only took three days to master them.
But the Beidou battle formation was quite complicated, and it took everyone a full week to barely master it.
The competition between Song Yan and Xuanyuan Lingtian only lasted for three months. Now ten days have passed, but Song Yan has not sent out troops and is still training soldiers. This made Xuanyuan Lingtian look quite strange when he learned the news.
Because in these ten days, he had led his team to kill hundreds of demon soldiers who had sneaked over, including dozens of captains of ten and five captains of centurions.
He has earned thousands of points.
Finally, on the eleventh day of the competition, Song Yan launched his troops.
And met Xuanyuan Lingtian who was returning with his troops at the gate of the city.
"Junior Huang, you have to work harder. It's too easy to win. I don't feel a sense of accomplishment!"
Xuanyuan Lingtian said with a smile.
"It will not let you down!"
Song Yan smiled disapprovingly and continued to set off with the team.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Lingtian couldn't help but frown. Could it be that this kid had some conspiracy
An hour later, Song Yan led the team to the Blood River.
The Blood River is called the Blood River because the water in the entire river looks like blood.
Looking at the rolling river, Song Yan picked up a piece of wood and threw it into the water.
As the water splashed, the piece of wood sank directly to the bottom of the water.
Then, Song Yan pulled out a handful of weeds from the ground and threw them into it, which still quickly sank to the bottom of the water.
"Why doesn't the Dali Niu Demon Clan sink after entering the water?" Song Yan asked.
A squad leader responded: "This subordinate doesn't know either."
"Aren't they captured alive and tortured?" Song Yan continued.
The team leader said solemnly: "After torture, they don't know! Moreover, among the ten major demon clans, except for the strong bull demon clan, the other nine races will sink to the bottom of the blood river. The strange thing is, If a dead powerful bull demon is thrown into a river of blood, it will sink."
"Is it related to the soul of the powerful bull demon?"
Song Yan couldn't help but think about it, and then he activated his clairvoyance power and looked into the blood river.
The team leader continued: "What's even weirder is that if the water in the blood river is scooped out, it will soon become like ordinary water."
"Yeah?"
While responding, Song Yan's gaze had already reached the bottom of the water.
After analyzing through clairvoyance, there was nothing wrong with the river water, so he suspected that the secret of the Blood River might be hidden under the water.
"That is?"
Soon, Song Yan's sight passed through the river, through the mud hundreds of meters underwater, and saw the bottom of the Blood River.
At the bottom of the blood river is a surface of crystal smooth blood jade, with mysterious runes faintly shining on it.
At the same time, these runes continuously emit a mysterious power of law, giving the entire blood river magical abilities.
What shocked Song Yan even more was that the bottom of the river he could see was covered with this kind of blood jade.
How long is the entire river of blood
No one can tell for sure, but the flow sections that have been discovered are no less than thousands of kilometers. If the bottom of these thousands of kilometers of blood rivers is covered with such blood jade, what kind of project will it be
Even the God of War cannot build such a huge blood river!
"Is it the river of blood created by the Creator God?"
Song Yan secretly said.
Suddenly, Song Yan raised his eyebrows because he discovered that more than three hundred tauren appeared on the wide river.
After careful identification, there were about three hundred ordinary powerful bull demon soldiers, thirty decaurions, and three centurions.
"Haha, you can't stop luck when it comes. I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the battlefield, there would be a powerful bull demon to show off my strength!" Song Yan couldn't help laughing.
"Captain, we may not be opponents!"
Liang Yunkun glanced at the more than 300 cow heads floating in the water and said worriedly.
Generally, the three captains of the powerful bull demon can equal the masters of the human race in the early stage. This time, there are thirty captains of the powerful bull demon. In Liang Yunkun's view, the ten captains of this group of powerful bull demons alone are not enough. The captain can hold back ten of their masters.
Then three hundred ordinary magic soldiers can destroy the remaining warriors with three times the number.
Song Yan said excitedly: "Fighting depends on more than just the number of people. Watch carefully, I will definitely eat these more than 300 powerful bull demons!"
When Liang Yunkun and others heard this, they couldn't help but smile bitterly. The new captain was a little overconfident, but the military orders were overwhelming, and there was nothing they could do if Song Yan faced off against this group of demons.
