A small group of ordinary soldiers has no advantage against martial arts masters, but if thousands of well-trained and well-equipped soldiers face an equal number of martial arts masters, the soldiers will have an overwhelming advantage.
Among them, military equipment such as trebuchets and crossbows play a secondary role. The most important thing is the soldiers' tenacious fighting will and tacit cooperation. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, as long as you cannot achieve true invulnerability
, invulnerable to water and fire, and is just a more flexible target when faced with a hail of guns and arrows.
However, the premise of all this is that the soldiers can have the same tenacious fighting will as the Yue Jiajun, Qi Jiajun and other small armies in history. But the actual situation is that looking at the history of war, few armies can achieve a casualty rate of more than 30%.
They can still maintain a high fighting will under such circumstances, not to mention the Forbidden Army composed of thieves and young masters who are currently cowardly...
What Murong Fu wanted to create was an absolutely loyal and well-trained private army. As a master at copying homework, Murong Fu almost copied and used everything the librarian did.
.
Thanks to the fact that the Murong family had a great business, every miner who joined the family was assigned five acres of land from the Murong family under Murong Fu's plan: and this was actually just a part of Murong Fu's plan.
In this era, five acres of land could theoretically keep a family of five from starving to death. However, in reality, due to government exploitation and local gentry's plundering, this meager property would soon be in the hands of others.
The miners who originally had nothing, after they had just ignited their hope for a better life in the future, it would not be long before the greedy wolves took away this hope alive.
During this process, Murong Fu only needed to watch with cold eyes and give some secret guidance to transform the "anger" of these miners into absolute loyalty to him!
To put it simply, what is given is not money, but anger!
In order to preserve their meager property, these people must unite closely and unite around Murong Fu. This is the so-called support of the people.
In fact, if Murong Fu really just wanted to give these people a share of the family property that would not be taken away, he could simply make these people tenants of the Murong family without changing the land deeds, and exempt them from land rent. After all,
No matter how courageous the local officials and petty tyrants were, they were not so bold as to disturb the Murong family.
But in this way, Murong Fu himself would not be much better off. Not only had he lost his reputation, but his face was not so good-looking either.
Everything was as Murong Fu expected. After learning that they could get land by working in the Murong family's mine, these nearly impoverished miners attracted friends and came one after another.
Murong Fu selected 700 people, which, excluding some logistics personnel, was just enough to form fifty big mandarin duck formations.
With sufficient food and wages, efficient training, and high morale, except for the lack of armor, this army has far surpassed the ordinary Xiang army of the Song Army in terms of combat power.

A month later, the Yuanyang Formation took shape.
On this day, Murong Fu led Bao BuTong and Feng BoE to the school grounds to test the training results of the miners.
Bao BuTong and the other two looked at the various strange weapons in the hands of the miners, and were quite puzzled. They really didn't understand the power of this strange formation of twelve people, and why the young master spent so much effort.
Personally train these miners.
Seeing Bao BuTong, who was hesitant to speak, Murong Fu said, "If you have anything to ask, just tell me."
Bao Tongtong said: "Young master, although you spread benevolence and righteousness, the people's support can be used. But you spent so much money to get this group of people. I really don't see how it will be of any use to the Murong family's plan. What kind of mandarin duck formation is this?
, is it really as powerful as you say? Even a top-notch master of martial arts can do nothing about it?"
With seven hundred people, the monthly food and salary expenditure is several thousand taels.
Murong Fu smiled and said: "If you don't believe it, you can go out and play with them in person."
Feng BoEi had long been itching and couldn't bear it. Without waiting for Bao BuTong to agree, he said: "Sir, I will fight this fight on behalf of Third Brother Bao!"
"Okay, then as you wish!"
Murong Fu waved to a commander who was training not far away. The man shouted a pause and then ran to Murong Fu.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
Murong Fu said sternly: "This Master Feng wants to have a sparring match with you. You should follow the training method you have used these past few days to spar with him."
The chief waved his hand at his team, and immediately a group of people gathered around them in formation.
Feng Boe pinched his wrist: "Master, we have agreed that if Feng Laosi beats these people to the ground later, you must not be upset."
Murong Fu said: "If you defeat these people, the thirty-year-old apricot blossom wine I have stored in the cellar will be yours!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Bo became even more excited: "Seriously?"
Murong Fu smiled and said, "When have I told lies to deceive you?"
Feng Boe laughed loudly: "Young master, you will definitely lose!"
.......
After a cup of tea.
Feng Bo laughed loudly: "Watch the move!" He waved his long sword and faced the formation that was advancing in neat steps.
Before Feng Bo Evil could get close, two four- to five-meter-long wolves glanced directly at his eyes. Feng Bo Evil quickly dodged and avoided the sweeps.
Before he could make a move, behind the Tengpai hand, two four-meter long spears struck Feng Boxie's chest and lower body up and down.
Finally, Feng Bo evil was very good at qing qinggong and managed to dodge these two attacks.
The wolf interfered with the line of sight first, waiting for the opportunity to attack with the spear. Finally, he got close, and a strong Tengpai player stepped forward to block Feng Bo Evil. Several times, Feng Bo Evil was almost hit by the wolf and was stabbed by the spear.
Finally, the crossbows were not put into use, otherwise Feng Bo Evil would have been shot into sieves long ago.
Feng BoE shouted loudly: "No fight, no fight, I admit defeat!"
Murong Fu smiled and said: "How?"
Feng BoE sighed: "This formation seems simple, but it is extremely powerful. Unless you can release your true energy and hurt people from a distance, ordinary martial arts masters are really no match for this formation."
Murong Fu was not surprised by this result.
After all, this is a battle formation that has achieved an incredible battle-loss ratio in the cold weapon era. Of course, this has something to do with Fengbo Evil not wanting to hurt anyone and not using all his strength. However, given time, when this formation is fully practiced and matured, it will be effective against ordinary Jianghu.
Masters produce a crushing effect.
The only pity is that there are no mature and reliable firecrackers in this era, so the original firecracker formation can only be temporarily replaced by bows and arrows, which compromises the formation.
As Feng BoE said, this formation is of little use against first-class masters who can release their true energy. But it can organize a group of miners who don't know anything about martial arts and fight against martial arts masters who have practiced for decades.
It is a great initiative. There are not many masters in the world who can release the true energy, but the Yuanyang Formation can be mass-produced and copied in theory.
