Chapter 177 Guan Yu, who cannot know all the soldiers
The people on the cone formation were acting rogue by hugging trees and bumping into the spear formation. The spearmen in the phalanx formation refused to play any more.
Seeing that they were about to break up on bad terms, Li Mengxi stepped down at the right time to mediate the conflict.
Li Mengxi proposed that the gun array no longer need to stay in place and could instead charge back.
Once the gun formation is in motion, you will have a way to counter the siege vertebra (rafters), and you will not be left in vain by the siege vertebra.
Moreover, in actual combat, the enemy's gun array will also move.
The gun array that can counter charge has greatly increased its lethality.
Every time the spear formation becomes more powerful, the party that breaks the formation will be beaten.
Once again, the team that broke the formation was charged by a group of spearmen from the opposite side, and was defeated. The two men who were holding the rafters were the first to bear the brunt. They held the rafters and faced off against the spear formation. The wooden stakes in their hands were indeed long, occupying the length of the formation.
With the advantage, they were able to overturn the oncoming spearmen, but the wooden rafters were too inflexible and they had no time to swing the rafters across. The two village warriors were approached by the spearmen and knocked down by the barrel of a rifle.
The power of the spearmen's charge together was astonishing. Li Mengxi saw the momentum of the cone formation coming to an abrupt halt, and then the shield soldiers were knocked over in large pieces like wheat being cut.
Li Mengxi couldn't help but frown slightly. He had a little self-doubt again. He also thought that the spear array was invincible.
The guns can easily form a combined attack. Even if the formation is no longer neat during the charge, three or four guns will still hit one person at the same time with the speed of the charge.
Even if the shield soldier uses his shield to block the thrusts of three guns at the same time, the force of the spears will knock the shield soldier to the ground.
The gun array charged and seemed very strong.
It seems that the only people who can compete with the Lancers are the Lancers.
Li Mengxi was confused again. He was wondering, if the cone formation were all spearmen, would it be more efficient to break the formation?
After all, the shield soldiers can only get close to the spear formation to fight. It is difficult for the shield soldiers to exchange heads one by one with the spear formation.
And if the spearmen are not afraid of death, they can kill one of them when they rush into the formation, and they can exchange one with the spear formation.
Except for the fact that spearmen are easily shot by bows and crossbows, killing a large area, it seems that spearmen are really the first choice for charging into the formation.
Li Mengxi was caught in a dilemma. The more he knew, the more confused he became. At this time, he could not decide which one was better: spearmen, shields and soldiers.
Even if they held the rafters as siege spines and had the equipment to attack the formation, when the spear formation moved, the shield soldiers who broke the formation were crushed again.
It was like a small-scale arms race. As the two sides continued to compete, their tactical level became higher and higher, reaching a level that even Li Mengxi could not do anything about.
In addition to concentrating a wave of crossbows to destroy the spear formation, or using the spear formation to hedge, or the spear formation and shield soldiers are mixed, after our spearmen stop the opponent's spearmen's impact momentum, the shield soldiers will rush towards the opponent and fight hand-to-hand.
.Other than that, Li Mengxi could not think of any other better way.
The impromptu training has now become close to actual combat or even more intense than actual combat.
It is still unknown whether the Yellow Turban Army can form a spear formation, whether they can use ground knives, or whether they can use siege spines to break the formation.
To break the siege formation, it is impossible for all three to gather together.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The whirring sound came from far away and closer, and Li Mengxi also heard the sound of wheels rolling.
Li Mengxi turned around to look, he was surprised and his mouth opened.
The dog is really brave, someone pushed a cart full of grain over.
On the cart, large bags of grain were stacked, one layer on top, one layer on the bottom, and another in the middle, for a total of three layers.
The grain bags were piled high and tied to the frame with thick hemp ropes to prevent the grain from falling.
The car must be very heavy, otherwise there wouldn't be three people pushing the handlebars with their teeth, and two people pushing on the side.
Normally such large grain carts are pulled by mules.
This is an offensive weapon that I don’t know anyone thought of.
Li Mengxi scratched his head and looked at the grain truck. He felt that his IQ was not enough.
Yes, you can use chariots to break the formation, but why can't you remember it? Li Mengxi was annoyed.
Li Mengxi didn't know how much the three-layered grain plus the weight of the cart would weigh, but it must be very heavy.
A grain cart filled with grain is pushed by five or six people. When the speed is pushed to a certain level, the kinetic energy is terrible. The gun array may not be able to stop it, and it may be rushed away.
Li Mengxi felt that he had learned a lot.
No wonder some people say that the wisdom of the masses is infinite.
The combined wisdom of three local warriors is enough to equal a Li Mengxi who feels good about himself, and can give Li Mengxi the illusion that his brain is insufficient.
Armed with a powerful weapon, the village warriors who broke the formation were confident. They gathered around the grain truck, set up their formation, and proudly called out to the spearmen on the opposite side.
Just as the sword and shield soldiers were patting their shields, the spearmen on the opposite side were unable to move and slipped away. Quickly set up the formation and let the fight begin.
Suddenly, I don’t know what happened, there was a burst of exclamation, and just a moment ago the village heroes were yelling at each other, like frightened monkeys, they all ran away with a crash.
The grain truck was left unattended, and its handlebars crashed to the ground.
Li Mengxi was blocked by a grain truck. When he saw people running towards him, he wondered what had happened.
"What's wrong?" Li Mengxi grabbed someone and asked.
"General Guan is here..." Na Xiangyong whispered to Li Mengxi.
It's really interesting, it's very similar to the reaction of the children who were playing in the get out of class after class, and suddenly the class teacher came into the class.
Li Mengxi suddenly remembered that it was to prove that ordinary soldiers could improve the formations even though the art of war was not a secret, so he promoted the practice of square formations and cone formations.
Li Mengxi turned around and saw Guan Yunchang walking from the edge of the school ground with his hands behind his back.
There was no emotion or anger on Guan Yu's face.
Li Mengxi had learned a lot and was just about to have a good exchange of ideas with Guan Yu, so he walked to Guan Yu and Li Mengxi stood with Guan Yu.
Wherever Guan Yu looked, what did he see?
He saw a mountain-shaped shield thrown by someone on the ground at the edge of the school field. The shield was split into two halves. Next to the shield that was split into two halves, there were a pile of broken shields, and there were also broken shields on the side.
Eighty-nine spears were cut off; the wooden rafters surrounding the camp were pulled out and laid horizontally everywhere; the carts loaded with grain and grass were pushed over and left in the middle.
Looking at the local heroes, they are all in disgrace, their clothes and armor are in tatters, their noses are bruised and their faces are swollen.
Guan Yu turned his head and glanced at Li Mengxi. He originally wanted to let Li Mengxi do his best, but he didn't want him to be so tormenting.
Looking at Xiangyong like this, it would be an exaggeration to say that he had just fought a fierce battle.
It was just a drill, how many weapons were broken? Guan Yu felt a little distressed when he saw the broken shield and broken gun.
Before Guan Yu could ask any questions, Li Mengxi spoke.
"General Guan asked his soldiers for advice before, but got nothing."
"If you ask again at this time, you should be able to gain something."
Li Mengxi stretched out his hand to make a petition, asking Guan Yu to check the training results of the local warriors.
Guan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at Li Mengxi and couldn't help stroking his beard with his hand, "Oh, Mengxi has been watching the formation here for a long time. What have you learned? You might as well tell me."
Guan Yu did not ask the soldiers, but asked Li Mengxi.
Li Mengxi knew that Guan Yu maintained his identity and refused to condescend to ask.
Li Mengxi smiled and shook his head, "I have watched dozens of battles and gained a lot."
"But, I won't say it." Li Mengxi raised his head proudly.
"I said that the art of war is not a secret, and soldiers can also understand formations. The general didn't believe it. I asked the general to ask the soldiers for advice, but when the general left, he gained nothing.
As soon as I arrived, the soldiers were all excited.
Why?
A general who does not know his soldiers is a taboo.
He is the commander-in-chief of an army, but he doesn't know what his soldiers are capable of."
"General, you can't know everything about soldiers!" Li Mengxi shook his head and said.
Guan Yu was the commander-in-chief of an army. Li Mengxi said that he didn't know how to fight. This was too critical and ironic.
It's just like questioning a chef's ability to cook, or questioning a national table tennis player's ability to play. It's too rude.
Guan Yu felt unhappy at that time.
