Chapter 165 New Cone Formation
Not to mention that Li Mengxi first showed his talent in the military formation and shocked Guan Yu.
Moreover, due to the analysis of Li Mengxi, an outsider, the problem of chaotic formations that had troubled Guan Yu for a long time was once solved. Guan Yu could not sit still and looked around frequently.
Guan Yu was watching to see if his subordinates had finished their breakfast. If everyone had eaten almost everything, he would practice for a while while it was still early.
This shows the difference between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. If it were Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei wouldn't care whether the soldiers had finished eating or not. If Zhang Fei suddenly had an idea and wanted to practice, he would directly scold people. And if anyone dares to delay
With one step, Zhang Fei's whip will fall immediately.
Guan Yu was almost counting the time and waiting. When he saw that the soldiers had almost eaten their food, Guan Yu immediately stood up and called his subordinates to gather them together.
——
After seeing that the sergeants had almost eaten, Guan Yu got up and went to regroup.
All the sergeants have completed their formation.
"Xi'er, come here!" Guan Yu shouted from a few dozen steps away. He invited Li Mengxi to come and watch the formation.
"Oh, here we come!" Li Mengxi responded and pulled him aside to watch.
There are more than a hundred and ten village warriors, arranged in seven columns, with more than ten people in each column.
Guan Yu gave instructions to the commanders at the head of each column one by one about the key points of the formation changes.
"It will change into a cone formation again, which is different from the past. After the order is given, you will be in the middle column. When changing the formation, the middle column will not move. Do you understand?" Guan Yu gestured with his hands and pressed She Chang's shoulder to give orders.
The chief of the middle column nodded, indicating that he understood.
Li Mengxi, who was watching on the sidelines, felt uncomfortable again. When the superior asked if he understood, the subordinate soldiers should answer loudly, "Report, I understand!"
During military training in his previous life, Li Mengxi was reprimanded by the instructor because his answers were not loud enough.
Should he mention this to Guan Yu? Li Mengxi rested his chin on his younger brother's shoulder, half-leaning on his younger brother, looking lazy.
What should I say if I mention it to Guan Yu, saying that the voices of his soldiers are not loud enough? What is the truth?
Li Mengxi himself didn't understand what was required when reporting numbers or answering, so he couldn't explain it to Guan Yu, and there was a high probability that he would not be accepted by Guan Yu.
"Adjacent to the middle row, you wait for the two rows on the left and right. When it changes into a cone formation, the back will move two positions. Do you understand?"
Guan Yu pressed his hands on the other two heads in the middle column, one on the left and one on the right, and pointed out what they should do when changing into a cone formation.
It's just a little distance behind. Compared with other complicated formation changes, it's very simple to just move the body behind. After listening to what the general said, the two commanders immediately understood the meaning and nodded repeatedly to say that they understood.
Then, they were divided into two columns and two columns. After a while, Guan Yu taught the principles of changing formations.
I asked again, there were seven columns in total, and the first ones were seven in length. No one remembered correctly what they should do.
Guan Yu looked from right to left, then from left to right. He nodded, took a few steps back and stood still.
"All troops obey the order!" Guan Yu issued the order in a deep voice.
"Roar!" the sergeants roared in response to the military order.
The low roars were neat and powerful, and the roars of hundreds of people were stacked together to form a sound wave that was breathtaking.
A smile appeared on Li Mengxi's face. This is not bad. It is similar to the military training in his previous life. All the military trainees shouted "Arrival!" The sound was almost overwhelming.
"Cone formation, change formation!"
"Roar!" the sergeants roared, and under the leadership of the team leader, they took a few quick steps and were immediately in position.
From a square array to a conical array, the array was formed in an instant.
Guan Yu held his long beard in his hand and showed a rare smile on his face.
He looked left and right, and even walked to one side of the cone array to take a look. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
To put it politely, this is the neatest formation change among the volunteers since Guan Yu trained the cone formation.
Moreover, the formation is very regular, with columns and columns staggered in an orderly manner, and the cone of the cone-shaped array clearly protrudes.
Before breakfast, the array became a mess.
However, after breakfast, the cone-shaped array had become more formal. The huge difference between before and after was all because of Li Mengxi.
Guan Yu turned around and looked at Li Mengxi. Li Mengxi understood and nodded towards him. The meaning was clearly saying - "Well, not bad."
Seeing that Li Mengxi was also satisfied with the new formation method, Guan Yu turned around and ordered, "Phalanx formation!"
"Roar!" the sergeants roared in unison. Except for the immobile middle column, the other six columns took a few steps, and the cone formation transformed into a square formation.
"Circular formation!" Guan Yu began to experience more complex formation changes.
The square formation changed into a circular formation, which was slightly more complicated, and the soldiers moved more positions.
At about five or six breaths, a circular formation was formed, with swords and shields outside, spears and spears inside, and bows and crossbows in the center.
Even though Guan Yu looked at it with a more critical eye than before, he couldn't see any big problems.
I had a vague feeling before that if I changed from a square array to a circular array, the circular array would become the best.
Now, after being reminded by Li Mengxi, Guan Yu was very sure that the formation that started to change from the square formation would become the neatest.
"Phalanx!" Guan Yu ordered again.
Shadows of people were coming and going, footsteps were trampling, swords and swords were clashing, and the circular formation soon turned into a square formation.
"Conical array!"
"Roar!"
In less than two breaths, the cone formation was formed.
I have personally verified that it is true as Li Mengxi said, with the square formation as the middle formation, every time you change the formation, you must first change back to the square formation. This small change makes the formation change incredibly faster.
Guan Yu couldn't help but sigh, this boy is a great talent.
For the cone formation, Li Mengxi specially came up with the staggered arrangement method, which was considered by Guan Yu to be the best cone formation layout method.
"The chief comes out of the ranks, and the corps chief takes over as the leader."
After Guan Yu gave the order, the commanders at the head of each column left the queue, stood aside, and stopped practicing for the time being.
Guan Yu spent another moment and explained clearly the responsibilities of each column during the formation change in a few words.
This is based on the assumption that after the cone formation is broken once, and all the commanders at the front are killed, the cone formation will be organized again with the reduced force.
Chief Shi was not around, but was led by Commander Wu. When Guan Yu gave the order to change the formation, the cone formation still became faster and more uniform.
"The corps commander comes out."
Each Shi has a chief, and two corps commanders as deputy. If the chiefs and corps commanders are all selected, the rest are ordinary soldiers.
In the regular army of the Han Dynasty, ordinary soldiers were not called corporals, recruits, or young soldiers, but "caiguan".
Assuming that it is a more brutal battle, and all the junior officers and even the corps commanders are killed, another conical formation must be quickly organized to break the formation.
The rest are all ordinary soldiers with no command experience.
Guan Yu explained the key points of the formation changes to the soldiers at the head of each line in a few words, and then ignored the rest.
"Conical formation!" Guan Yu ordered directly, without giving the soldiers time to digest.
"Roar!" In the chorus of low roars, the seven-column square array began to change rapidly. The middle column did not move, the left and right columns retreated two positions, the left and right columns retreated two positions, the left and right columns moved back two positions, and the left and right columns moved back two positions.
Back again...
Without even a single low-level officer, within three breaths, the cone formation was formed again.
Quickly, neatly, without any confusion.
It seems that even if the person is cut off in half, the cone formation can still be formed in an instant.
Guan Yu stroked his long beard with his hands and stared at the conical array with regular edges, silent for a long time.
Chapter completed!
