"By the way, Xi'er." Guan Yu suddenly asked, "Is there a lying sword technique here?"

Guan Yu asked with a questioning look.

Li Mengxi was stunned for a moment, "Oh!" He nodded suddenly, and then smiled, "Did the monkey say that?"

At this moment, a strange-looking soldier appeared in Li Mengxi's mind.

Monkey? I should be talking about the pawn who is less than five feet tall. Guan Yu thought.

Guan Yu has many people to manage, so it would be good to remember the corps commanders. It is impossible for everyone to remember them.

Guan Yu asked about the lying sword, but Li Mengxi asked curiously, "General Guan, that country hero is so thin and small, why did our army recruit him?"

I’m afraid, I don’t think he can beat anyone.”

Li Mengxi asked doubtfully.

No matter who looks at it, that monkey is so thin and small that it can be blown down by a gust of wind. In addition, he has a timid and timid appearance. Such a soldier is recruited into the army, and in a cold weapon battlefield that mainly focuses on hand-to-hand combat.

I'm afraid it's a soldier with a very low price/performance ratio.

After hearing this, Guan Yu raised his head and thought for a moment, and after a while he seemed to remember.

"At that time, the eldest brother saw that this man was in ragged clothes, his face was gray and almost bloodless, and he looked like he was about to starve to death. If we didn't recruit him, wouldn't he die? Therefore, the eldest brother recruited him as a soldier." Guan Yu replied.

It turned out that this was actually the case. Li Mengxi's eyes widened and he was a little surprised.

No wonder, there was such a low-powered soldier in the army, and everyone bullied him. It was Liu Bei who took pity on him and gave him a bowl of food.

Thinking that Monkey was being bullied because of some friendship, Li Mengxi thought that he should take advantage of the situation and help him.

"Come, General Guan, I'm here to tell you what the lying-on-the-ground sword technique is."

Li Mengxi invited me.

Guan Yu got up and followed.

Come to the front of the array.

Li Mengxi put his head and feet to look around, but he couldn't see where the monkey was.

"Monkey, get out of the queue!"

Li Mengxi simply shouted directly.

The monkey didn't answer.

Then, Li Mengxi heard the commotion behind the array, and the monkey tilted and bumped out.

It looked like who kicked him out.

It's normal for this guy to be bullied.

Li Mengxi waved to the monkey, and the monkey came over slowly with his head lowered.

Determined to show the monkey's face in front of Guan Yu, Li Mengxi looked at the Xiang Yong who were lined up, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, help set up the gun array!"

The village warriors did not move for the first time.

Behind Li Mengxi, Guan Yu waved his hand, and the village heroes dispersed.

Then, those who hold weapons take weapons, and those who stand in rows row in positions.

After a while, a dense gun formation was set up.

Let the monkey find a shield by himself, and then step back a certain distance.

Li Mengxi told Monkey to charge into the battle with his sword lying on the ground.

At this moment, the monkey was timid and timid, "I...I don't dare." The monkey was extremely frightened.

Li Mengxi hated the fact that iron cannot become steel. He gritted his teeth, "If you don't want to rush, you have to rush!" Li Mengxi said fiercely.

Afterwards, Guan Yu watched from the sidelines and the charge into the formation began.

About ten paces away, the monkey hugged the shield, roared as if to cheer himself up, then gritted his teeth and ran towards the gun array.

The moment he approached the battle, the monkey cleverly lowered his body and rolled to the ground. He thrust his shield on his head and rolled past the spear formation.

Then, there were no surprises.

Xiang Yong on the other side of the gun array used the barrel of his gun to pin the monkey to the ground easily.

The village heroes looked at the monkey on the ground, unable to move like a bastard, and burst into laughter.

Not only the local heroes, as serious as Guan Yu, couldn't help laughing.

Guan Yu shook his head, this did not break the formation. Guan Yu looked at Li Mengxi.

As if he saw Guan Yu's doubts, Li Mengxi explained, "The general may not know. When the general came, the man rolled on the spot and was caught off guard. He actually rolled past the gun formation and rushed into the formation.

It is indeed difficult to break the formation with the ground sword technique alone, but with the ground sword technique, no matter what, it gives our army more ways to break the formation.

The Monkey's move to break the formation is disadvantageous, because the local hero is already familiar with this method and has already taken precautions. If the enemy comes to the battle one day and is unprepared, it will be unexpected and will have a miraculous effect."

Li Mengxi’s explanation.

After hearing this, Guan Yu thought for a moment and felt that what Li Mengxi said made some sense.

Seeing the monkey crawling out from under the forest of guns in a state of embarrassment, Guan Yu was thoughtful.

That this pawn can be recognized by Li Mengxi shows that he has some merits.

Apart from anything else, this pawn is thin and small. Although he is not as strong as humans, he is extremely flexible.

Being small also has advantages. Look at him holding a shield, and the shield covers half of his body.

And because of his small stature, it is difficult for others to poke him.

Guan Yu then gave Li Mengxi a favor and was promoted to Hou'er as the corps commander.

Although he is a small official, he is still an official.

With this military position, monkeys can be bullied less.

Good.

It's getting late and the sun is already high.

This impromptu exercise has come to an end.

The village warriors scattered around to gather their things and were about to break camp.

Li Mengxi and Guan Yu stood together, watching the busy work in the camp. Li Mengxi frowned and reviewed it, and asked Guan Yu the last question that he had been puzzled by.

"General Guan."

"Huh?" Guan Yu turned his head and looked down, "What's the matter?"

"The general told me before that the cone formation is the first choice for breaking the formation.

But I saw in the school grounds that the square formation and the long snake formation seemed to be able to break the formation.

But why are the square formation and the long snake formation not the first choices for breaking the formation?"

Li Mengxi asked the question that was pressing in his heart.

This question stopped Guan Yu.

"This..." Guan Yu frowned, twirling his beard, and hesitated.

Why is the cone formation the first choice to break the formation? This is what the sages wrote in their military books.

As for why, I don’t know. Guan Yu thought.

Therefore, Guan Yu said seriously, "Why use the cone array instead of the square array and the long snake? Xi'er might as well think about it for himself."

Guan Yu was unable to answer the question.

Li Mengxi thought that Guan Yu wanted to encourage him to think independently. He understood, so he went back and thought about how the Cone Formation was different from the Long Snake Formation and the Square Formation in terms of breaking formations, and what advantages they had.

Youxiang Yong brought Guan Yu a horse, and Li Mengxi returned to his chariot and marched away.

In the car, there are pens, ink and paper.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the bumpy carriage, Li Mengxi took some paper and drew some simple "doodles".

The large rectangle is a square matrix, and the small triangle is a conic matrix.

The slender, ruler-like formation is the long snake formation.

So, what are the differences between these three formations?

Li Mengxi crossed his legs, put his arms on his knees, and dragged his chin with his hand, thinking hard.

The most obvious difference comes from the shape. You can see it at a glance.

But what difference does the difference in shape make when breaking the formation?

When the formations were connected and when they were broken, Li Mengxi could not tell the difference between the cone formation and the serpentine formation.

(Then...what happens after the formation is broken?) Li Mengxi suddenly thought.
