Guan Yu was determined to show his abilities, so he prepared to practice the formations mastered by the local heroes one by one.

What was the army like in his previous life? Although Li Mengxi had never been a soldier, there were often military training scenes on TV, so he knew something about the army.

For example, during morning exercises, after the army formation in the previous life was completed, military songs would be sung.

But now, after Li Mengxi saw the village heroes lining up, he only shouted "Kill! Kill! Kill!".

Other than that, there is no other word.

When I first heard it, it sounded murderous. After listening for a while, Li Mengxi felt a little dry. When I continued to listen, Li Mengxi couldn't help laughing.

Out of the courtesy of a bystander, Li Mengxi felt that it would be rude to laugh out loud, so he turned his face away and waited for a while before he recovered.

He had just woken up in the morning and was feeling low of energy. Before the drill, Guan Yu asked the soldiers to shout kill for a while to cheer them up, which was also a good idea.

After the killing call was completed, it was the real practice that Li Mengxi was looking forward to.

"Stop!" Guan Yu shouted with a command, the sound was like a bell, full of energy.

The village heroes who shouted loudly to kill were immediately silenced like sparrows being pinched by the neck.

Li Mengxi nodded slightly. The Xiang Yong under Guan Yu could at least follow orders and prohibitions. They were indeed much better trained than the Yellow Turban Army.

However, Li Mengxi still discovered a problem. Guan Yu had given the order to stop, but in the middle of the queue at the back, a certain buddy reached out to touch his nose.

If in the previous life, if there was a small move in the queue, if the squad leader found out, he would be kicked out, run five kilometers extra, do two hundred push-ups, write an exam, and cover the entire class's dirty clothes for a week, this would be considered

over.

Guan Yu's right hand is long, and his left hand is stroking his long beard. He stands as straight as a spear. In addition, he is tall, a head taller than ordinary soldiers. He looks majestic and not angry.

"Turn left!" Guan Yu stood on the ground and issued another military order. Guan Yu pronounced the word "turn left" four times, and his words were very powerful.

"Roar!" Dozens of local heroes let out a low roar from their throats at the same time. They propped their left heel in place, touched the toes of their right foot, turned ninety degrees, and then brought their right foot and left heel closer together with a snap.

With this sudden turn, Li Mengxi's eyes widened in shock and he almost jumped up.

Oh my god! Didn’t it mean that the ancients couldn’t even tell left and right? Didn’t it mean that the ancients couldn’t turn on the spot? It wasn’t until Qi Jiguang that there was a formation turning movement similar to the modern army? Didn’t it mean that a group of college students who only had formation military training for a month?

, can it defeat most ancient armies?

So what is it that you see now?! What is it?!

The ancients were actually able to distinguish left and right, and could turn on the spot, turning quickly and forcefully. The village warriors all held weapons and stood very close to each other without bumping into each other. The formation was no better than a formation of college students who had been training for a month.

How much difference.

"Turn right!" Guan Yu ordered again.

The village heroes turned back with a roar.

Li Mengxi fell into deep thought at this time.

There was a discrepancy between the ancient times that he had always believed and the real situation.

Li Mengxi originally thought that he had mastered the most scientific and advanced military training methods that have been proven by time. What kind of formations, military postures, three people in a line and five people in a line, etc. This is what he thought he could do in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty.

, you can develop the greatest confidence of an elite soldier overnight.

However this is not the case.

Li Mengxi remembered that it seemed that as far back as the Spring and Autumn Period, Sun Wu was training the maids in the palace of Wu in battle formations. At that time, there were already orders and prohibitions and queues.

Moreover, compared to modern people, the ancients did not have one leg longer or one less, they all had two arms and two legs.

Since the body's congenital conditions are the same, how to turn the fastest and most stable with the smallest range of motion should also be the same. People with a delicate mind can figure out the key by turning twice.

Besides, Grandpa Qi Jiguang is indeed a genius. According to the "New Book of Jixiao" written by General Qi, the training of Qi Jiajun was once considered to be close to modernization. The Qi Jiajun's passwords were "stand at attention!" and "whistle up!" Waiting on the 21st

It is still used by the Chinese army in the century.

There is no tree without roots or water without a source. I think that when Grandpa Qi compiled the book of war, he was also standing on the shoulders of military strategists of all ages, and he was not starting from scratch.

Thinking of this, Li Mengxi had some enlightenment.

Queue turning is not sophisticated, and may have existed on China's battlefields along with wars since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Just because of the limitations of the material base, China did not have paper that was easy to write until after the Han Dynasty, and did not have developed printing until the Song Dynasty. The material base determines the superstructure. Therefore, when strategists of all ages wrote military books, they could only choose to include the most important things.

Strategies and tactics are recorded, but something as subtle as turning on the spot is naturally not included in the military book.

Before Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Jixiao", perhaps due to lack of attention or other reasons, there was no detailed record of the movements of the army's formations, including turning, but the absence of records does not mean that there is no record.

In a war-prone area where more than 70% of the world's wars occurred in the classical era, it is impossible to say that the ancient Chinese army would not turn around.

Also, it is even more nonsense to say that college students who have been trained for a month can defeat an army composed of many refugees from ancient times.

College students who have received military training have a devilish will to fight. As long as college students have a little bit of will to fight, the arrogant foreign students and black men have already been living with their tails between their legs, so how can they dare to ride on them?

Besides, the army formed by refugees is indeed vulnerable, but it is not that weak. Compared with the materially rich 21st century, the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when there were constant natural and man-made disasters, was full of poverty and harsh waters.

The mountains and rivers are poor, and the people's natural customs are fierce. Even if there is no Yellow Turban Rebellion, fighting between villages for water sources and the like is indispensable.

When the fight broke out, the fierce villagers used a hoe to cut off their heads as if they were playing. A college student who had only been in military training for a month could not even defeat the villagers, let alone the more powerful Yellow Turban Army.

What he saw and felt today corrected some of Li Mengxi's untrue views. He learned that the ancient army was not that weak, and the technical level of ancient warfare was not as low as some half-informed netizens on the Internet said.

Guan Yu's commands were still issued from time to time, and Li Mengxi came back to his senses and watched carefully.

The turning order was over, and Guan Yu began to issue a more complex order - formation.

A square matrix is ​​a square matrix.

The square array is a large category, including many formations. The long snake array with one column is a square array, and the stacked array with multiple columns is also a square array.

The vertical array is a square array, and the horizontal array is also a square array.

A square formation with equal length and width is a square formation, and a rectangular formation with unequal length and width is also a square formation.

Li Mengxi is very familiar with the Fang formation. Apart from this, it is the simplest and most basic formation. When watching TV in his previous life, the producers, in order to save trouble, used both sides in the costume films involving war to have both Fang formations.

Once the array is set, it's done.

Aligning the square array is simple and looks good. If you use other formations, not only will the visual effect be poor, but the group actors will also have to spend a lot of energy in training to reach a level that is barely visible, and the price/performance ratio is too low.

Li Mengxi watched Guan Yu train his soldiers intently. Guan Yu's phalanx was not what Li Mengxi thought the long soldiers were in front, and the sword and shield soldiers were behind. Instead, the sword and shield soldiers were in the first two rows, and the long soldiers were behind.

The difference between the two phases lies in the use needs of the square matrix.

Li Mengxi believed that the phalanx should strengthen its ability to resist cavalry.
