Then, he formed a hand seal and visualized a picture of the moon rising over the sea. In that instant, the seven hundred soldiers, who were only sixty paces away from the trench, all lost consciousness and were directly controlled by Lin Yang.
With a wave of dizziness, they all lost consciousness. Their eyes rolled back, they took deep breaths, and stared wide-eyed at the situation opposite them.
Suddenly, a full seven hundred different images appeared in Lin Yang's mind. Under the influence of these seven hundred puzzle pieces, countless pieces of information from the entire battlefield flooded into Lin Yang's consciousness.
There is a gentle breeze here.
There was a monkey in the big tree next to us.
There was a snake twenty paces away.
I recognize that guy in the blue hat across the street, his name is...
"Phew, so much information. At my current level, I can perfectly command these 700 people within a minute. After a minute and a half, I can only unleash 80% of my power. After two minutes, it's only 60%. After two and a half minutes, it's only 30% to 40%." Lin Yang rolled his eyes and said, his face pale.
"In other words, it took less than three minutes in total, similar to Ultraman from a certain island nation—both are considered 'three-minute wonders.' However, this amount of time is enough to deal with these chickens and dogs." Shaking his head, Lin Yang said with some effort but also great confidence.
In an instant, Lin Yang received all the information into his mind.
Three moments later, all the information was integrated.
Ten moments later, hundreds of plans were formulated. Then, some flawed and illogical plans were removed, and after further simplification and synthesis, a relatively perfect plan was born.
"kill!"
They moved; in an instant, all the soldiers moved.
Head up, turn around, lift your foot, exert force, wrist movement, finger movement, joint movement—at this moment, the movements of seven hundred soldiers were exactly the same.
Of course, they are largely the same, but many minor adjustments have been made to the details. After all, even twins can't be exactly the same.
In a mere sixty meters, they all transformed into Usain Bolts, and with their already formidable physical abilities, it only took them five seconds—just five seconds—for them all to reach the trench.
At such speed, the blue-hatted men in the trench only had time to fire one shot. Many blue-hatted men, barely standing up, were immediately rammed by the reckless red-hatted men.
After the battle, they were surprised to find that these red-hatted men were all highly skilled in martial arts and incredibly powerful.
Moreover, and most importantly, their coordination is absolutely seamless. It's like the perfect coordination of a person's hands and feet.
At this moment, the red-hatted men were no longer afraid! They had no feelings left, so how could they be afraid?
At this moment, almost every one of the red-hatted warriors could perform at their maximum potential. It was only natural that Lin Yang, with his third-tier Grandmaster combat awareness, would directly command their bodies to reach their limits.
This battle is already a foregone conclusion.
In Lin Yang's opinion, this was simply a case of beating up a kid.
If an ordinary soldier on the other side were to suddenly fight him one-on-one, he would undoubtedly lose. As for a master of innate talent, if he could escape from a dozen low-level versions of 'Lin Yang', he would be lucky!
As for the master expert Old Peel, although he can command, he cannot personally participate in the battle, which is one of the pre-established rules of the exercise.

Chapter 42: Military Formation, Blessed Land (Third Update)
"Good, good, good, Tianxuan's secret technique is truly amazing. Could you explain the entire battle process to me in detail? Especially later on, the soldiers at the front were practically possessed by you, it was truly unbelievable." Zhu Jishi stared in disbelief as he watched all the blue-hatted soldiers fall to the ground within a minute.
Honestly, before this battle, he might have had a little expectation that Lin Yang would lose to Old Peel. But he never imagined it would turn out like this.
Even though he, Emperor Zhu, was just a pig butcher before he transmigrated—oh, no, a murderer—oh, no, a surgeon.
Although he knew absolutely nothing about war, at this moment he could clearly see the gap between the two sides; it was a complete rout.
It's important to understand that before this, both the blue-hat and red-hat soldiers were trained at the Whampoa Military Academy, and their physical abilities were essentially the same. However, the outcome of this battle was so drastically different, which is enough to prove the effectiveness of this military tactic.
Seeing the curious looks on everyone's faces, Lin Yang didn't keep them in suspense and explained everything directly. From the initial Earth Listening Technique to the final temporary control of everyone.
Actually, Lin Yang used a clever trick. Just like in the last minute, Lin Yang directly controlled everyone, and with seven hundred people working together perfectly, how could their power not be great?
However, the reality is that, with Lin Yang's current skill level, he can only control seven hundred people. Any more, and his head will pop into popcorn.
Therefore, compared to those super generals in the main world who can easily control tens of thousands of elite troops, Lin Yang is still far behind.
Furthermore, was Lin Yang's plan that he just devised really that sophisticated? What if we encounter even more complex situations? What if the opponent suddenly escapes?
Therefore, it's precisely because they know nothing about military tactics that they are so easily fooled. Otherwise, if someone knowledgeable were here, they would only laugh at them mercilessly, asking, "What kind of nonsense is this?"
"So, it's all because of the military spirit?" Zuo Zongtang said, stroking his beard.
"That's right, it's all because of military aura. My secret military technique is also based on military aura. Generally speaking, to directly mobilize military aura, one needs at least the strength of a third-grade grandmaster. However, if one learns the twelve hand seals, one can use military aura at the middle third grade."
"In addition, there are various incredibly magical battle formations, such as the Bagua Formation, the Xuanxiang Formation, and the One-Character Long Snake Formation, each with its own function."
"Like the Long Snake Formation, setting up the formation instantly increases the marching speed by several levels. Another example is the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, which, once set up, is based on the Eight Trigrams and has endless uses. In addition, there are the Dragon Gate Formation, the Fish Scale Formation..."
Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, Lin Yang couldn't help but nod smugly. In fact, although Lin Yang seemed to have said a lot, most of it was just common knowledge from the main world.
Many formations can be bought with money. But as the saying goes, things that can be bought with silver aren't necessarily precious.
Truly precious military formations are passed down through generations, kept secret. Otherwise, once they are made public, people will study them day after day, month after month, year after year, and eventually they will be able to thoroughly understand the formation and analyze all its weaknesses.
Of course, battle formations are valuable, but genius generals are even more valuable. Take Han Xin, for example; even without any battle formations, he could mobilize the army's morale and defeat most generals using only the basic twelve hand seals.
"For infantry, there are six basic battle formations. For cavalry, there are only four basic battle formations. Together, that makes ten. These ten volumes of texts record the training methods for these ten battle formations," Lin Yang said with a smile, holding ten volumes in his left hand.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's attention was drawn to his left hand. What was called a scripture was actually just the hide of a demonic beast.
What was originally a rather rustic gray color became, in their eyes, a symbol of antiquity and elegance. What was originally a tattered and worn-out fur became, in their eyes, proof of historical vicissitudes.
"Of course, the prerequisite for using battle formations is military spirit. Therefore, there is also a book here that specifically introduces the origin of military spirit, the function of military spirit, and the twelve hand seals corresponding to mobilizing military spirit." As soon as he finished speaking, another piece of dark animal hide appeared in Lin Yang's hand.
