Chapter 446 Master, Don't Force Me to Take Action 22
Everyone looked into Yu Muhuai's eyes, where a serene and peaceful light shone through.

Soon, their balance began to tilt.

Before long, everyone believed that Yu Muhuai had disguised himself as a woman for the sake of convenience.

As for the bulge on his chest, it was just two steamed buns brought from the army camp mess hall that morning.

They also unanimously agreed to keep Yu Muhuai's identity a secret and not to tell anyone that she was wearing women's clothing.

After all, we're all men, and we understand the awkwardness that would ensue if this got out.

Everyone present was influenced by the sophist, except for Yao Zhan, who knew the truth and was dumbfounded.

His eye twitched, and he began to doubt the intelligence of the group of people in front of him.

Are they all like their General Liang Xiaorong, a bunch of idiots?
As Yu Muhuai approached, Yao Zhan's gaze involuntarily swept over her head.

Yu Muhuai certainly noticed it.

She crossed her arms, squinted, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Yao Zhan realized what was happening, quickly looked away, blushed, and stammered an explanation.

"I... I was just wondering how they could have believed it, after all, you..."

Yu Muhuai couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Don't worry about these details. Let's go. After we've finished inspecting this place, we'll go back to the camp. I've already thought of a good way to deal with the Ghost Bandits."

Upon hearing that Yu Muhuai had a solution, Yao Zhan's attention was immediately diverted.

Leaving a portion of Liang's army behind to handle the aftermath, Yu Muhuai and Yao Zhan were the first to return to their barracks.

Back in his tent, Yu Muhuai explained his thoughts.

Ghost Bandits are highly capable in individual combat and excel at flanking attacks from the enemy's weak points. They first disrupt the enemy's formation, causing chaos within the ranks, and then defeat them one by one.

They are agile, cunning, and ruthless, with exceptional individual swordsmanship, making them a troublesome group of opponents.

Moreover, the Ghost Bandits originated from an island nation surrounded by the sea, making them more adapted to naval warfare than the Liang Family Army.

Not to mention the Inland Xiuwu Army brought by Yao Zhan.

This way of dealing with the enemy reminded Yu Muhuai of Qi Jiguang and the Qi Family Army from his past world.

Because coastal areas are mostly hilly and ravine-filled with rivers, the battlefields are generally smaller in scale.

Therefore, in the process of dealing with Japanese pirates, Qi Jiguang invented a battle formation that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

Enduring and everlasting.

It can be considered one of the legendary battle formations in Chinese history.

The Mandarin Duck Formation (invented by Qi Jiguang, a famous Ming Dynasty general who fought against Japanese pirates; I have already posted a picture of it in my book club).

The team consists of 11 people, with the captain at the front and two people behind him holding shields.

Shield bearers can block enemy weapons and cover the advance of troops behind them.

The shields here are not made of metal, but of vines and other plants, making them lighter and allowing for close-quarters combat.

During the command of the battle, the captain can advance or retreat at any time.

Then two more people, each holding a 3-meter-long wolf-tooth spear (a spear-like weapon with several branch-like blades on the shaft).

Next came four spearmen (spears made of swords, spears, and halberds, not firearms), two on each side.

The last two people carry halberds (similar to Aquaman's trident). These two are positioned at the very back and are responsible for guarding against enemies and supporting their teammates.

If a cunning enemy attacks from the side,

The flank spearmen and soldiers wielding wolf-tooth spears can quickly change formation and charge forward to slash and kill the enemy.

The Mandarin Duck Formation is both offensive and defensive, with a close combination of spear and shield, and can change its formation at any time according to the actual war situation.

The shield bearers can retreat to the flanks, while the wolf-tooth spearmen advance to slay the enemy. Alternatively, they can form two columns, like a sharp spear, charging straight into the enemy ranks.

Learning this formation is not difficult; the key lies in the cooperation between teammates and the command and coordination of the team leader in the middle.

This requires sufficient understanding and trust among the soldiers, while the captain needs to be experienced, calm, and composed in the face of danger.

Yu Muhuai roughly drew out the Mandarin Duck Formation. The deployment of the formation was clear at a glance on the drawing.

After looking at it, Yao Zhan quickly visualized several changeable formations in his mind.

He couldn't help but clap his hands in praise and repeatedly exclaimed how wonderful it was.

"With such an excellent formation, we should be able to defeat the ghost bandits as soon as possible, wipe them out in one fell swoop, and restore peace to the people of Qingzhou Prefecture!"

In the following days, the news of the Mandarin Duck Formation spread throughout Xiuwu's army and Liang's army.

All the soldiers were divided into groups of 11. After the most suitable person for each position was selected, they began to train.

The Xiuwu Army led by Yao Zhan consisted entirely of elite troops and skilled generals, while the local Liang family army, having fought against the enemy for many years, was also highly experienced.

Therefore, everyone learned how to use this new formation very quickly.

Yu Muhuai, who had changed back into men's clothing, stood in front of the training ground, watching everyone train with Yao Zhan.

Liang Xiaorong walked over and stared at Yu Muhuai for a long time.

Yao Zhan felt a chill run down her spine, thinking that Liang Xiaorong was starting to doubt her gender again.

Unexpectedly, Liang Xiaorong said, "You little attendant, why are you slacking off here?"

Just because you're General Yao's follower, you think you can do whatever you want? Watch out, or I'll spank you!

As he spoke, he prepared to pat Yu Muhuai's butt.

Yu Muhuai's eyes twitched. She glanced coldly at Liang Xiaorong, wondering if she should just go all out and beat him up, without caring about his status as a general.

Seeing that Liang Xiaorong had no suspicions, Yao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief at first, but soon became nervous again.

He sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Yu Muhuai.

Oh no! General Liang is in danger!
Yao Zhan quickly stepped forward, squeezing between the two, a smile plastered on his face.

"General Liang, let's go and try out the wonders of the Mandarin Duck Formation, and see how well these little rascals are practicing!"

As he spoke, Yao Zhan put his arm around Liang Xiaorong's shoulder and led him away from there.

Upon hearing that they were going to do real combat, Liang Xiaorong shouted "Okay!" and followed along with a smile.

During the day, the military camp was filled with the deafening sounds of drills and battle cries, and the air was thick with the stench of sweat.

That night, the soldiers wiped themselves down haphazardly and then all lay down in their tents.

I need to rest early so I'll have enough energy to continue training tomorrow morning.

In the still of the night, the military camp was filled with the sounds of snoring and constant snores.

Mixed in with the sounds of smacking lips, turning over, and some people talking in their sleep.

At this time, everyone except the soldiers patrolling inside and outside the camp was fast asleep.

In the open space outside the camp, iron stoves were placed at intervals, with firewood burning inside.

Although it wasn't very bright, it was enough for the patrol soldiers to have light.

In the dim, hazy firelight, a figure darted out from one of the military camps.

He was short and thin, which allowed him to hide himself well in the shadows.
