From the sparring till now, the thing that has caused the biggest trouble to people like Gouzi and others who rush into the formation is the spear formation.

Speaking of spear formations and spearmen, spearmen have been lucky since ancient times. Why is this?

Gein generally cannot equip a shield with a spear, and even if ordinary soldiers have armor, the armor is not very good. Lancers have no shields and poor armor, but the spear formation is extremely difficult to break through.

In this way, concentrating crossbows on the spearmen becomes a very cost-effective choice.

A round of arrows passed by, and the spearman suddenly became unfortunate and died on the spot.

The sword and shield soldiers responsible for close combat seemed not to be very lucky either.

The local warriors were only practicing. Li Mengxi had already seen the bloody facts through the training. The death rate of sword and shield soldiers on the battlefield was also frighteningly high.

Not only the spearmen, but also the big soldiers' luck value is not too high.

The team captains of the cone formation successfully broke through the gun formation with the tactics they had figured out, and then broke into the shield formation. They seemed to have fulfilled their big wish, and they were all smiling and beaming.

They saved their face and silently proved to their subordinates that they were capable of being captains, and they were not just in vain.

The squad leaders were happy, but the spearmen were dissatisfied.

They said there were too few spearmen and the spear formation was too thin. If there were more than a dozen people, no one would be able to rush through.

The gun battalion invited a battle, and the squad leaders were all very tired, with many injuries on their bodies. They didn't want to end up again.

The corps commander Shichang couldn’t be any younger. Even Liu, Guan, and Zhang were all white. The corps commander Shichang among the village warriors was not even a regular army. But through his own efforts, he improved the formation and broke the gun.

After the battle, the sense of self-worth of these squad leaders was simply overwhelming.

Drawing on the insights gained from breaking the formation, the junior officers from Xiangyong, who didn't know much about Chinese characters, told them to take a break and practice again later.

Then a group of people gathered around, squatting on the ground and drawing with wooden sticks, while discussing something intensely.

Li Mengxi was curious and ran over to take a look.

Oh my god, the minion can also study formations!

When Li Mengxi saw the extremely simple rectangles and triangles painted on the ground by the village heroes, he felt like he was in trouble.

The graphics were simple, but Li Mengxi could tell at a glance what the village heroes meant.

They are studying formations, research! What they are doing is the same as Guan Yu's study of military art.

Li Mengxi got into the circle of team captains, looking at this and that. If he could continue to develop at this pace, he seemed to see that a few years or more than ten years later, these team leaders who took the initiative to study formations would gradually grow.

An excellent general, or even a commander-in-chief. At the very least, he should become an excellent mid-level officer such as a captain of thousands.

——

On the other side, feeling that the gun formation was weak, the entire gun battalion was dismissed and a complete gun formation of forty men was formed.

Together with the helpers, a gun formation of more than 60 people was formed.

The number of more than sixty people is still very small, but if they don't go around and charge head-on, the four rows of gun formations at the front and back will be more terrifying than the two rows of gun formations that the team leaders charged before.

The defensive side has more people, and the attacking side also has people coming off the field to join.

But because all the commanders were gone, the skirmishers from different professions, whose organizational and coordination abilities were indeed inferior to those of the commanders, had to argue for a while about who stood in front and who stood behind.

After the cone formation was formed, the team leaders also stopped the discussion. They stood up and walked to the edge of the field. They were not ready to go down. They wanted to see what would happen if others formed a cone formation to break the formation.

The skirmishers were smart enough not to form a single column in a protruding cone formation, but instead formed three columns in the middle.

It was obvious that the experience and methods of breaking the formation of the team leaders had been understood by everyone present or watching.

From this point of view, the training effect achieved by today's array confrontation is excellent.

"Hold the shield!"

The soldier who gave the order, Li Mengxi, turned out to be very familiar. He was still someone from Gouzi Naishi. Li Mengxi just thought his face was familiar and did not know the name of the person.

Gouzi is the one who works the hardest today.

"rush!"

It was probably the first time that Lung Tao gave an order and he shouted out the words. His voice was hoarse and trembling. Moreover, this person was simply too unfamiliar and amateurish. He was probably too focused on giving the order that he shouted out the words and the order was already gone.

However, he forgot to charge and did not take the lead in the charge immediately.

As a result, the cone array was awkwardly delayed for a second or two.

Li Mengxi almost laughed when he saw it, and the squad leader who was watching from the side laughed especially unkindly.

Especially Gouzi, who was leading the team from Shili, but he laughed the loudest.

Not long after the rebel army was formed, the earliest corps commanders were selected when they were still training in Zhuo County. The first batch was basically selected based on physical fitness. The tallest, most powerful, and most powerful group of people were selected.

Act as a junior officer.

This first group of people is generally the most powerful individual in the rebel army.

The battle at Daxing Mountain was the first battle fought by Liu Bei's rebel army. After this battle, a group of commanders were promoted due to their military merit.

In this second batch, those selected are either brave enough to fight, lucky, or clever. They are indeed outstanding people.

The third group were those who were promoted due to their merit when they went out with Guan Yu to collect a small group of Yellow Turban refugees.

The base of the rebel army is very small, there is no promotion system for soldiers, and the promotion methods are very simple and crude. Therefore, the gap between the tactical literacy of low-level officers and that of grassroots soldiers is not that big.

Normally it's fine, I can't tell any difference.

Now when I compare them, the difference is clear.

A little gap is still a gap.

No matter how bad the team leaders are, at least they are familiar with the commands and will not make such low-level mistakes as asking themselves to forget to respond.

A cone of skirmishers collided with the gun formation.

The method of breaking the formation is the same as before. One of the shield soldiers in the front bumps to the left and the other to the right, trying to open a passage for the teammates behind to break the formation.

However, because the gun formation has been strengthened, it has become much more difficult to break the gun formation.

A person with a shield and a sideways collision can deflect one to three or five gun barrels at most. Any more would be impossible.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The gun array has become more than twice as dense, and the newly practiced method of breaking the array is not easy to use.

The shield soldiers who collided with the gun formation were knocked down by the barrel of the gun, and the momentum of the follow-up men's charge was suddenly blocked, and then they had to charge hard according to the old method.

The result was as expected. A mere twenty shield soldiers rushed into four columns of spear formations and were all wiped out before the spear formations.

The skirmishers got up from the ground, rubbed the bruises on their bodies with bared teeth, picked up the shields that fell on the ground, and retreated in despair.

When they passed by the team captains, the corps commanders pointed out their shortcomings.

"Blind Tiger, do you know that I'm all complaining about you? Why are you running backwards like this? You're running at the same time. When you run back, you block all the people behind you and can't get up. You dare to run again like this.

, I won’t beat you!” A certain grumpy black-faced commander yelled at the Xiang Yong under his command, saying that one of his soldiers had lost his life, making him lose face in front of other commanders.

It's okay to run now, because I'm afraid that kid will really start a fight and run back if he gets scared.

He could have broken the formation, but when he ran back, he either bumped into someone, or forced the people behind him to slow down in order to avoid him, disrupting the rhythm of the charge for a large area behind him.

How many people must be killed?

One rat droppings can ruin a pot of soup.

Only when all the factors on the battlefield come together can you win, and if there is a slight mistake or accident, you will lose.

Li Mengxi saw another problem.

Li Mengxi actually doesn't know much about military training, but he knows how the most advanced and most efficient armies train. He knows that in his previous life, when the squad leader ordered a charge, he had to jump into even a pit in front of him. If he dared not to jump, he would be afraid of falling.

Run back with a broken leg and wait to be punished.

Although it is training, you should practice with the attitude of treating training as actual combat, so as to be effective.

If during training, escaping becomes a habit, it will be very dangerous on the battlefield.

(Our army is short of judges.) Li Mengxi frowned and thought to himself.

There is no training syllabus and training regulations. This is one thing. The Xiang Yong who ran backwards did not receive any substantial punishment. This is another problem.

The country warriors were just farmers digging in the soil three or two months ago. Let them study formations to be competent, and let them understand the correlation between training and actual combat. This requires a high degree of generalization, abstraction and logical thinking ability. Country warriors

It’s impossible to appreciate it.

Li Mengxi felt that he had to discuss it with Guan Yu to make the training more rigorous and get the rebel army back on track as soon as possible.

Under the guidance of the chiefs, the skirmishers rearranged themselves into a cone formation.

Keep rushing.

Once again, he was knocked into pieces by the gun array.

The worst thing about the guy was that his face was scratched by the burrs on the gun handle. At that time, there was a slender wound on his face, and blood flowed down his face.

This country warrior was about to throw away his shield and stop practicing. His team leader laughed at him mercilessly, mocking him for acting like a big girl.

"Hey! I've broken my finger, you're so stupid that it hurts after hanging it for a moment?" Wu cursed.
