Chapter 117 Tortoise Formation

When the sun rose, Shen Guang had already run around the open space in Nancheng for several times. When he took off his armor, white smoke was emitted all over his body.

In Anxi, which is already in autumn, the weather in the morning has become a little cooler. Chen Guang once again ran with the fang soldiers with the armor every day to exercise the most basic physical strength. In about half a year, Gao Xianzhi will start the most glorious expedition in his military career. He does not want to be a spectator, he will participate in it personally.

After wiping away the sweat from his body, Chen Guang looked at the Roman soldiers who were training with the Hans not far away, but he was not worried that Fokas and the others could learn the Tang Dynasty's military formation. In fact, it was useless if they learned it, because Byzantine or the Eastern Roman Empire was not as rich as the Tang Dynasty, and could be equipped with various powerful crossbows and heavy armors, equipped with a large number of horses to accompany the army.

If it weren't for the long distance, Chen Guang would have no doubt that the Tang army in the heyday could advance to Asia, just like during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, the Tang Dynasty had temporarily occupied Persian territory, but then withdrew its troops. As for the throne states and the governor's offices set up, once the Tang Dynasty's military retreated, its original influence gradually dissipated.

"Let's go and take a look."

After changing into dry clothes, Chen Guang called the soldiers to the open space where the Han'er practiced. At this time, Olus and his soldiers were teaching the Han'er the Roman tortoise shell formation.

Chen Guang used to watch the turtle shell formation of the Roman legion in the movies, and the men in front of him used shields to protect the front and around, and promoted the assassination according to the rhythm of Olus' shouting, which was quite decent.

"Langjun."

"Person Chen, is this Furious army formation worthy?"

Chen Guangchao asked Chen Maha, who also watched the Han people practice, that this tortoise shell formation should be one of the most famous military formations on the military history forum in later generations. Many Jingluo believed that the tortoise shell formation was invincible in the world.

"This kind of dense military formation has existed in ancient times, so it's nothing strange."

Chen Mohe said distractedly that in fact, there were formation changes similar to the tortoise shell formation in the Tang army formation. The reason why he did not stop it was that the Hans would practice sooner or later. Since the unscrupulous foreign troops were willing to teach the Hans, let them go.

When Chen Guang heard this, he didn't ask much. In fact, the ancient Chinese military formations paid the most attention to the changes in formation and formation. There are really many formations like the tortoise shell formation.

Of course, as the saying goes, the beauty of application lies in one's heart. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and there has never been any invincible military formation in this world.

Soon after the men finished practicing, Olus also greeted Chen Guang, "Greetings to your husband."

Listening to Olus' big tongue being much better than before, Chen Guang knew that the former centurion of the Eastern Roman Empire seemed to have made great efforts recently.

"Olus, your Tang Yan is right, where is your master?"

"Reply to my husband, my master was so impressed by reading books last night. He hadn't woken up yet, but he wanted me to go..."

"No need, let him sleep a little longer."

Chen Guang naturally knew about Focas's learning progress from Kang Liulang. This second-generation ancestor of Byzantine was really ruthless. I heard that in addition to practicing calligraphy every day, he would read books until late at night.

"How is the food in the legion when you are in Byzantium?"

At this time, Persian slaves brought food. Looking at the soldiers behind Olus with their eyes shining, Shen Guang signaled Olus to sit beside him, and then he asked casually, and then Chen Maha came to the side.

"The legion's food is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty."

When Olus thought of the vegetarian vegetarian food that was mainly based on grains, his face changed. The soldiers under him were the same. They were already accustomed to eating the same food as the men and they obviously could not go back to the past.

"Olus, in two days, Tieniu and the others will escort the caravan to Yumen Pass. Are you willing to go with them?"

"The Lord said that everything is followed by the Lord's orders."

Olus replied that he was willing to escort the caravan with the men. After all, the daily training days were too boring. The brothels in the city were also destroyed by the previous rebels. The Langjun did not seem to have the intention of rebuilding. Now the residents of the city, men acted as laborers, and the women were also organized to sew clothes or do some cleaning work.

"Then I will say to Forkas, you will all go to the caravan to protect the caravan!"

Chen Guang nodded and said, "The Second Ancestor of Byzantine was indeed a smart man, and it's not in vain that he planned to send him wealth."

"Thank you, my husband."

The soldiers behind Olus were all very happy. They could finally get rid of their master for a while. God knows how miserable they have been scolded recently.

"I'll send someone to bring you some clothes later."

Chen Guang had eaten Hubiao and mutton soup, so Fang took a selfie of dust on his clothes, got up from the squatting ground, and returned to the city lord's mansion with the fang soldiers. During these days, he had asked the women in the city to sew military uniforms and flags for Han'er and veterans, so naturally there were so many that could be sent to Olus and the others.

"Mr., why bother to let those Freshmen go with the men?"

"They stay here, and they are idle, so it's better to help someone do some work!"

Chen Guang smiled. There was still a shortage of soldiers in Huo Shao City. Apart from the two hundred Han'er and veterans, there were only Bai Xiaode and his followers. He could not let Bai Xiaode stay and guard Huo Shao City. This person came for fighting and fighting.

"But……"

"Person Chen, my Tang Dynasty has the courage to tolerate the world. In the future, there are probably more Francis people who will become a corpse corpse under a certain commander."

"My husband is so worried."

Chen Mohe laughed dryly. He was used to fighting wars, and everyone thought it was an enemy, not a friend.

After returning to the city lord's mansion, Chen Guang met Bai Xiaode. The prince, who was nicknamed Bai Dazhe, seemed very energetic, because just yesterday, Chen Guang's confession and military signs for Bai Xiaode were sent by Li Siye.

"Person Bai, what's the matter to find someone?"

"The leader of the camp, a certain athlete is ready to go, and I don't know when I can start the journey."

Looking at Bai Xiaode who was excited, Chen Guang couldn't help but say, "Captain Bai, didn't you agree? Could it be that you want to take the caravan today?"

"Don't blame Chen Lang, it's just that I've been idle these days. Besides, the caravan will not set off again, but it will take a long time. If I can't arrive at Yumen Pass before the beginning of winter, wouldn't it be a big deal?"

Bai Xiaode said with a sensation that in his opinion, the four caravans have been here to burn the city for several days, and the repair has been almost done. Why should I continue to stay in the city and waste time? I don’t know what the four Hu merchants thought.

"Person Bai said something reasonable, so why don't you set off tomorrow."

Chen Guang thought about it, there was no need for An Shigui's three companions to stay, so he would set off early. He was still waiting for them to go to the grassland to inform him, so that the barbarians knew that there was still a strong wine in the world that could make them stand out. The Anxi Army's reserves are far from enough horses.

"Thank you, my husband."

Bai Xiaode was overjoyed when he heard this. He had heard of Yanqi. In the vast Gobi desert, there were as numerous horse thieves as cows. In the past, he didn't have the chance to run so far to kill the thieves, but now he is the captain of the Tang Dynasty camp and can fight with the thieves openly.

"Person Chen, you still have to stare at Captain Bai on the way."

Chen Guang looked at Chen Mohe beside him. Bai Xiaode's martial arts skills were indeed very strong, but he was more like a reckless man who charged forward, rather than a general who could calmly plan and strategize, so he chose to believe in Chen Mohe, the old military academy.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, I won't let Lieutenant Bai do it."

Chen Mahe nodded. He had heard of the reputation of Bai Da Cuckold for a long time. He was indeed a reckless man. If he really encountered a horse thief on the road, he wouldn't have to expect this person to give orders.
