The visitor ran to the man in black robe in the hat and bowed one knee: "Report to Master Li, the disciple has found out clearly. The identities of the four Royal Guard soldiers who were following Tang Xiaozhe, their names are Zhang Bao, Xie Guang, Liu Leng, and Zhao Si. The situation at their homes has also been found out clearly..."

After hearing this, the man in the black robe nodded with satisfaction: "I understand, this time you have made great contributions and will be rewarded after you go back!"

"Thank you, the helm!"

The man in the black robe of the hat was ordered by Mrs. Yunyang to hunt Tang Xiao. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, he personally rushed to the Gengfang Fishing Port. After three days of investigation of the terrain of the entire fishing port, he came up with a poisonous plan.

The collected information shows that the soldiers and soldiers of the Imperial Army in this military training will be grouped, and this grouping will continue until the end of the military training. Therefore, Li Yan formulated a plan to kill people with a knife, and used one of the four Imperial Army soldiers to kill Tang Xiao. With the premise that his identity is not exposed, he ensured that the mission was completed foolproof, so that the Marquis of Zhenguo would not be able to find out afterwards, and he could not doubt him and Mrs. Yunyang's heads.

Of course, in order to make the selected Imperial Army soldier obedient, Li Yan would use a very despicable means to allow the personnel he installed in the capital of Taiwan to kidnap the Imperial Army soldier's family and get some tokens to let the Imperial Army soldier submit.

...

The military training took a blink of an eye. The Gengfang Fishing Port was quiet. The sea tribes did not harass the fishing port, and Fang Ji did not kill anyone anymore, because all the hundreds of scholars became obedient, and no one dared to be lazy or disobey military orders.

A week passed, and even the fat man Zhu Qian lost weight, his skin became much tanned, and the other scholars were all in the same condition.

Only Tang Xiao, the training volume of Fang Ji was not enough for him, so he often had to increase the amount of training on his own. Fang Ji certainly knew Tang Xiao's consciousness, so he didn't care about him at all. The four Imperial Army soldiers were also free and did not have to urge Tang Xiao to train.

In a week, the relationship between Tang Xiao and Fang Ji became much closer again, and the topics they talked about became wider and wider. Fang Ji was surprised that Tang Xiao knew so much, and at the age of fifteen, he was more thorough than many people in his twenties.

"Commander Fang, I have always been puzzled about the application of martial arts in this world in the army." Tang Xiao also took the opportunity to ask Fang Ji for some military affairs.

"Well, young master, what's wrong with you? Even if you ask, I dare not say anything else, I should be able to answer you any questions about the military." Fang Ji had been fighting for half his life, constantly suppressing bandits, fighting against the sea clans, from ordinary soldiers to generals, and only then was transferred back to Taijing City to serve as the commander of the Imperial Guards this year. He can indeed be called an expert in the military affairs.

"For example, you are now at the level of Earth Yuan level and your martial arts are unfathomable. Ordinary soldiers on the battlefield cannot harm you at all. Once the big handprint is released, you grab and beat him, dozens or hundreds of soldiers are killed. In this case, what should Daming Dynasty do to establish an army? Why not save these military funds and train more Earth Yuan level masters to fight the enemy. Even if the opponent has thousands of troops and horses, why mobilize the troops and spend so much silver to support hundreds of thousands of troops every year?"

Tang Xiao was indeed confused about this problem. In the last life, all soldiers had little difference in abilities after training. In this life, it was a world of high martial arts. If the martial arts skills were several levels apart, one person could be the power of dozens of people. For example, Fang Ji, it is estimated that one enemy of a thousand on the battlefield would be no problem, but now so many soldiers are trained to garrison everywhere.

Fang Ji was a little surprised that Tang Xiao would ask this question. In some aspects, Tang Xiao had a very extensive knowledge, but in some aspects he seemed to know nothing. Of course, if Fang Ji knew that Tang Xiao had traveled through time, he would not have these doubts.

"Your question, when I will perform formation drills for you in a few days, you will understand, but... it's okay to talk to you now..."

Fang Ji stood up and pointed at the soldiers of the Imperial Army: "A single soldier has a low martial arts cultivation level and his external protective energy is very weak. When facing a powerful Earth Yuan, the powerful Earth Yuan can kill him with one finger. However, a group of soldiers, hundreds of soldiers, and thousands of soldiers, after passing the formation drill, the true energy in their bodies will condense together and form a war energy outside the formation."

"Under the protection of the war gang, a devastating handprint issued by a powerful Earth Yuan man, if you want to attack a soldier who is arranged in a formation, you must first destroy the war gang outside the formation. The war gang formed by well-trained soldiers, even if all soldiers forming the formation have very low martial arts cultivation, the protection strength of the war gang will be far higher than that of the untrained soldiers."

"It is easy to destroy and kill ten Yuan-level warriors in each place, but if these ten Yuan-level warriors form formations through long-term training, the powerful martial arts of this Yuan-level warrior may not even be able to break even their war spirit, let alone kill them. At this time, ordinary soldiers charge the soldiers formed into formations from the ground, which is more effective than the large-scale destructive attacks of martial arts powerful people."

"From the actual combat significance of the army, the formations of martial arts powerhouses and well-trained soldiers have their own strengths. Although the war aura of the soldier's formation is very strong, even higher than that of a single martial arts powerhouse, its mobility and aggressiveness are far worse than that of a single martial arts powerhouse."

"Oh, so that's it..." Tang Xiao nodded: "Because of the existence of Zhan Gang, a strong man with high martial arts cultivation may not necessarily gain any advantage when facing a large number of well-trained soldiers on the battlefield."

"Well, not only that..." Fang Ji continued: "Ordinary soldiers can also control Shenming crossbow chariots and Shenming battle chariots in formation. Think about it, hundreds or thousands of Shenming crossbow chariots are shooting scattered, so how many martial arts powerful people can never get close!"

"In addition, no matter how high a martial arts master has a high martial arts cultivation and has no experience in commanding the battlefield, he will still be defeated in wars. The war is not the personal ability of the general, but more of the strategy and command ability of the general. The martial arts cultivation of the general can certainly play a role in adding icing on the cake on the battlefield, but it cannot dominate the outcome of a war!"

Fang Ji finally summarized it: "A commander should consider more by formulating different battle plans based on different enemies and different weather terrain, so that martial arts powerhouses and soldiers can each play their strengths and restrain the enemy everywhere."

"Well, this is indeed the reason." Tang Xiao looked suddenly enlightened.

"Mr. Tang has any questions, just ask me. When practicing the battle formation in a few days, I will give you a team of soldiers to let you personally direct and feel it." Fang Ji was excited and told Tang Xiao some of his experiences in training and marching over the years. The two of them became more and more speculative.

...

During this period, Tang Xiao's Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sword has also achieved some success. He can now transform a very thin blue sword energy from the front of his finger, instantly breaking through a hole in a reef that is half a meter thick. The penetration power of this blow is obviously much more powerful than the previous use of small stones with the flashing finger magic skill.

When Tang Xiao was training, he would often immediately eject a small stone after the sword aura and follow him, imagining it as a thunder shaking penis, and let it explode at the right time in his mind.

Tang Xiao believes that once his unique skill is achieved, he will definitely be able to turn the situation around in actual combat with others and kill the enemy in one blow.

...

On this afternoon, the fishermen in the fishing port who were responsible for delivering dinner food to the military training camps, after delivering the goods, brought some letters and packages sent from Taijing as usual.

Four Imperial Army soldiers in charge of Tang Xiao’s training, the soldier named Zhang Bao unexpectedly received a package. After opening the package, there was a letter in it. After seeing the content of the letter, Zhang Bao was shocked.
