In the morning, Li Mengxi still had a doubt in his mind, that is, when the soldiers climbed to the top of the city, the first ones to climb the city should focus on defense to save themselves and open up a safe landing area for the people behind, or should they focus on attack?

good.

After the afternoon training, Li Mengxi's doubts were gone.

When there are few people, one or two people can't save themselves at all, and how can they protect the open siege point with Pao Ze behind him.

Therefore, there is only one answer left. The first task of those who ascend the city is to attack at all costs.

Li Mengxi yelled at people one by one, but when he saw someone shivering, he would scold them until the person being scolded abandoned his defense and attacked with all his strength.

Using long sticks as spears and short sticks as knives, the crackling sound on the body must be very painful. The soldiers used the sticks to hit others hard. Everyone was defeated, but Li Mengxi realized the problem again. He didn't even

satisfy.

"Stop!" Li Mengxi shouted.

When he called to stop, all the fighting warriors stopped instantly.

The local warriors, whose noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and whose faces and hands were bloody, had long since stopped practicing so desperately, so they all stopped in such a neat manner.

Li Mengxi separated from the crowd and squeezed into the middle of the crowd.

During the fighting, the attackers gathered in a circle in the middle, and the defenders were on the outside. Li Mengxi came directly between the siege team and the brave soldiers.

"Let me tell you, after ascending the city, you must press forward. You cannot stand or take a step back.

It’s better to think about taking a step forward than to think about taking a step forward, do you understand?” Li Mengxi raised his head, glanced at the circle of Xiang Yong who had a bruised nose and swollen face, and asked in a deep voice.

"Understood." The village heroes replied feebly.

Li Mengxi wanted to yell again and ask them to answer loudly, but he couldn't hear him.

But when he saw that the local warriors had suffered numerous injuries in order to train, he could not be more harsh.

"Well, remember it clearly. After you climb the city, you will only attack and not defend during the fighting. You are not allowed to stand still or retreat. Even if you push forward, even if you push forward a little bit, you have to squeeze past me. Whoever I see dares to take a step back.

,Military law!" Li Mengxi shouted with a straight face.

"Go to the city!" Li Mengxi ordered.

——

"Ascend the city!"

Li Mengxi didn't know how many times he had called to the city.

The warriors who attacked the city quickly climbed up the ladder.

"Jump!" Li Mengxi stood among the battlements, pointing the sword in his hand like a pointer as he spoke.

Under the high-pressure order, Xiang Yong, who was first in line, gritted his teeth and jumped towards the wooden stick that was propped up. With a plop, his body of more than 100 kilograms fell down. The wooden stick poked his ribs, and he groaned.

, Xiangyong almost couldn't breathe.

Due to this fatal collision, the stupefied wooden stick was knocked crooked, and the defenders who were crowded on the city wall were knocked back slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the second person held the shield to protect his head, and he didn't care about what was underneath, and smashed it down.

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

"No blocking! Only slashing, slashing!"

"Keep going, don't stop!"

"Enter!"

"Come in again!"

"You bitch, who told you to retreat! Stop!" Li Mengxi was so angry that he took out the scabbard from his waist, separated the crowd and started to trouble Xiang Yong who was retreating.

No one among the village heroes took pleasure in his misfortune, and many looked at Li Mengxi unkindly.

He took the scabbard and slapped it on the shield of Xiang Yong who had committed the crime. "Who told you to retreat?" Li Mengxi raised his head and glared at Xiang Yong who looked aggrieved.

"I...I didn't want to retreat, I was pushed back by the stick...I..."

"Bullshit! You won't move forward if you're held up by a stick? I'm telling you, I'm telling you bastards," Li Mengxi pointed in a circle with his scabbard, "If we were really in a battle formation, let alone being held up by a stick, even if we were held up by a stick,

It’s a gun that stabbed you in the stomach, so you have to move forward for me, you have to squeeze through for me, even if you crawl, you have to crawl forward for me, do you hear me?!”

Li Mengxi used the scabbard to pound Xiang Yong's chest, roaring so loud that no one dared to make a sound.

Li Mengxi deliberately hit the shield with his scabbard, but he didn't hit anyone. The country hero was so aggrieved that he almost cried, "I didn't want to retreat, but I was pushed back..."

"Shut up!" Li Mengxi slapped the scabbard on the ground, and the scabbard split into two halves with his force. "Listen to my military order! If you dare to take a step back, you will be dealt with by military law. Get out of here."

Leading Army Law.”

Xiang Yong was forced to panic, and the hand holding the wooden stick creaked. His face turned red, and he stared at Li Mengxi, "I said, I don't want to retreat!"

There was some commotion in the crowd, and there were footsteps behind him. Li Mengxi turned around, and it was Liu Xuande.

"Xi'er, you..." Liu Xuande stopped talking.

"Mr. Xuande, this man has violated our military law. I want someone to give him twenty lashes. Is this military law serious or not?" While talking to Liu Bei, Li Mengxi looked at Xiangyong without fear.

"Twenty whips are not heavy, I say Xi'er..." Liu Bei tried to persuade.

"As long as it's not serious, come and execute me!" Before Liu Bei could finish his words, Li Mengxi waved his hand and gave the order coldly.

There were no law enforcement sergeants nearby.

Liu Bei felt that Li Mengxi had gone too far, but he was also afraid that if the law enforcement sergeants did not come and punish the local heroes who committed the crime, Li Mengxi would not be able to come to power.

After a quick weighing, Liu Bei still chose to support Li Mengxi, although he didn't know why Li Mengxi did this.

After calling the soldiers, he temporarily took over the law enforcement sergeant's duty and escorted the rural hero who had committed the crime to one side to crack his whip.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, because Xiang Yong took a step back, the clothes of the offending Xiang Yong were stripped off, and the slender riding crop was slapped, slapped, on the man's back one after another.

Every time the whip went down, there was a shocking line of blood.

Does it hurt to be whipped? Li Mengxi knows it hurts, but also knows it’s a bit too much. In order to verify the ferocious city-top fighting tactics, there are only less than two days. Time is precious, and tactics are related to victory or defeat, life and death, and must require training and

The rural warriors who are not highly organized must act according to military orders.

Those who can walk a hundred paces are half-ninety. If the military discipline is slightly relaxed, the training effect will be fully achieved.

After twenty lashes, the offending Xiang Yong’s back was streaked with blood. It was so horrific that all the Xiang Yong who was watching felt sad.

Taking advantage of the power of military law, Li Mengxi once again emphasized to the Xiangyong, who numbered less than twenty people, "Everyone in the siege team is only allowed to advance, not to retreat! If you dare to take half a step back, military law will be engaged!"

"Go to the city, come again!"

It is said that before Han Xin was executed by Empress Lu, while in prison, Han Xin learned the art of war throughout his life and invented chess.

The simple rules of chess contain Han Xin’s most refined military wisdom.

As the horse moves forward, the chariot goes straight, but once the pawn crosses the river, they cannot retreat.

Why did Han Xin formulate the rules of chess in this way?

In the battle formation, the infantry formation has the ability to retreat. However, even if it is an army of comparable strength, the retreating side will easily retreat and the formation will be disrupted, resulting in a rout.

When I was a child, I must have played the game of walking backwards. When I walked, I would inevitably fall.

From a biological point of view, humans do not have anti-joint knees like ostriches, so they can easily fall if they fall backward.

Moreover, people do not have the ability to look behind. Therefore, when retreating, each row of people becomes blind and does not know how far the rear row has gone. A short distance may be okay, but a long distance will inevitably lead to an uneven formation.

In infantry formations, advancing is the most profitable option.

Li Mengxi's art of war has not reached the same level as the military immortal Han Xin.

Li Mengxi and the sage Han Xin made the same choice. [Pawn] can only advance, but cannot take half a step back.

The reason why Li Mengxi made this choice was that he found that although the soldiers who climbed the city carried out a desperate attack under strict orders, and launched an extreme fight of attack against attack. Although the hand-to-hand strategy became offensive, the rural warriors who attacked the city were still in the original position.

In a ground-to-ground fight, there is no sense of initiative to move forward, and the strategy is still conservative.

Therefore, Li Mengxi strictly ordered not to retreat, and used the siege team's fierce attack to the extreme.

A man who climbs a city is like a pawn in chess. Once he climbs a city, he has no room to retreat but to move forward.

For an individual, if you retreat, you may be able to survive for a while, but for the entire tactical level, for all the siege soldiers, every life can squeeze even a centimeter of space at the top of the city, which is the most valuable and can be insignificant.

sacrifice in exchange for a heavier weight on the scale of victory.

"Come in!" Li Mengxi roared, staring intently at the chaotic figures, refusing to let go of anyone who dared to take a step back.
