Li Mengxi thought he had learned how to defend the city.

However, the messy memories in my mind will pop up from time to time, giving rise to new ideas.

At the last moment, Li Mengxi, who thought he could defend the city, or at least the Yellow Turban Army's attack on the city, suddenly realized that he only learned to defend the city wall.

He is the resourceful one, he is the cautious one, he is the one who feels good about himself, and he is the one who is sober in the end.

Li Mengxi is really sober in the world.

Liu Bei couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

This child's every surprise and surprise are always unexpected.

Li Mengxi said that he only learned to defend the city wall.

And if Liu, Guan, and Zhang are all in trouble and must leave the task of defending the city to others, Liu Bei will definitely give the important task of defending the city to Li Mengxi.

Why? Because Li Mengxi can only defend the city wall.

It's getting dark.

At night, Li Mengxi and Liu Bei said goodbye.

The army stopped for two days and used the city to practice offensive and defensive tactics.

These two days have passed, and tomorrow we have to break camp and march.

At night, by the light of torches, Li Mengxi recorded the harvest of these two days.

"I borrowed the city to train my troops for two days, and learned many offensive and defensive strategies.

one for

The final technical details of the siege ladder have been added.

A hook can be made for the siege ladder. The hook is half of the wheel, and the falcon is connected to one end of the siege ladder.

Instead of using a square hook, use a semi-circular hook because the round hook is more convenient.

Second is

Strategies and tactics for assigning archers and crossbowmen to defend the city.

For a battlement, one crossbowman should be arranged on each side.

The strong crossbow is powerful and can penetrate shields and armor. The bow and arrow shoot quickly. Combining two shots can increase the error tolerance. The strong crossbow has a slow shooting speed and is difficult to deal with sudden enemies. The bow and arrow are weak and cannot cause effective damage to heavily armored enemies.

.The combination of the two, crossbow sniping and bow and arrow suppression, is the best equipment.

There is also a crossbow-passing tactic where four people pass three crossbows to each other to speed up the firing frequency of powerful crossbows.

Also, when shooting at the shooting holes in the battlements, alternate left and right shooting methods. If you don't shoot on the left, you can't shoot on the right. This can reduce confusion and make the shooting frequency faster.

Three for

The fork pole of the city defense equipment.

The beauty of the fork pole lies in its length. Because of its length, it can combine the efforts of many people. Without the fork pole, pushing the ladder in front of the battlement can only squeeze two people, and only the strength of two people.

If the ladder in the city is high and heavy, the ladder cannot be tipped with the strength of two people.

Depending on the length of the fork pole, ten people can join forces, and twenty people can join forces. So the fork pushes the ladder down.

A small pronged pole can increase the enemy's siege casualties several times.

Four for

The most intense fighting point at the top of the city is where the besiegers ascend the city.

The best strategy for climbing the city is to climb the city with dead men, not to defend but to attack. The moment you climb the city, you are already under heavy siege. Even if you try to defend with all your strength, it will be useless. You will die in a moment. Therefore, attack with attack. With one breath, they will come with ten spears, and I will take a breath.

Only by exchanging death for injury and death for death can the maximum effectiveness of human power be achieved.

It is also known that in the ancient siege battles, the city was destroyed with piles of corpses.

When corpses pile up on the city, it is an opportunity to break the city. From this, we know that once the siege begins, it cannot be stopped. It needs to be day and night, and the attack will continue for several days and months. Stopping is just to fuel the tactics and is wasted.

troops.

From this, we learned about the art of city defense. When defending a city, it is important to clean up the corpses on the city. If the city wall is blocked by corpses, the enemy can calmly climb onto the city somewhere, and the city will not be far away.

Moreover, the city must be fought within a short distance. If we advance half a step and the enemy retreats half a step, we will always have the advantage of one step. Within one step, there are enough to accommodate one person. Therefore, those who climb the city can only advance, not retreat.

From this, I also realized the military art of Han Xin, the former military immortal.

Using troops is like a chess piece. The pawns play a chess piece. They can advance or retreat behind the formation. In the formation, they can only press forward, but cannot retreat.

If you think about it carefully, the reason is that the human body's eyes are in front, and the knees are also in front. Human eyes cannot look behind, and human legs cannot bend backwards.

Therefore, when retreating, people will fall easily, their eyes will not be able to see behind them, and the queue will not be even.

If two armies are facing each other, assuming that the morale of the armor training of both sides is the same, then if I retreat, the formation will inevitably become more chaotic and chaotic for a lifetime.

From this, we also know that we have heard allusions for a long time, saying that in the past, Han Xin was about to die, and his military skills were integrated into chess and passed down to later generations. What we see today is that in chess, if a pawn moves across a river, he can advance but not retreat. Sure enough,

The art of war!

In your spare time, you can use chess to explore Han Xin's art of war. According to the rules of chess, the horse walks diagonally towards the sun, the chariot rushes, and the cannon hits the front and rear. Is the art of war evil?

In chess, the two knights in a chain, with the cannon at the head, and the two rooks in formation, is the strategy of war evil?

Not yet known.

After breaking through the siege spine, a one-step strategy.

There are two ways to break the city with siege vertebrae. One is to block the city gate opening with siege vertebrae. When the city gate is broken, the siege vertebrae will be pushed forward, just like rushing a chariot, ramming against the enemy.

The second is to leave gaps on the left and right sides of the siege spine. When the city gate is broken, our soldiers will take advantage of the situation and rush out from the left and right.

How to choose between these two methods should be based on current conditions.

If we attack the city and our troops are weak, but the enemy's troops defending the city are strong, at this time, we should take advantage of the siege column and advance several siege columns together to block the city gate corridors. The siege column is used like a ram.

If we attack a city and our troops are strong, but the enemy defending the city is weak, we should avoid blocking the roads in the attacking city so that our troops can deploy quickly.

If I defend the city, I can use a chariot to block the gate.

Gai borrowed a cart to block the gate. There was no need to fight, no formations, no armor and weapons. The civilians could also forcefully block the city gate with a cart.

Dozens of civilians block the gate, so that the elite soldiers can be left to fight at the top of the city. This is a way to coordinate and save the strength of elite soldiers.

The sixth is

The art of defending a city must be calm and orderly.

First, when defending a city, the area to be defended should be divided into areas, and one corps and one guard should be ordered to garrison one place. Each corps should guard one stack. If the rest of the city is broken, there is no need to save it, lest the soldiers rush to save it in a panic and go to save other places.

The place is empty again, so I cover the gourd and pick up the gourd, and I am in a hurry. Before the enemy arrives, the tiger has left the mountain, which is a big taboo.

Second, no matter whether the city is large or small, it should be ensured that there is always a small lane on the city to ensure that it is unimpeded at all times.

The relevant detailed rules are that the army should set a basic rule of action - whether marching to patrol the camp or walking along the city corridor, always go to the right.

There are also detailed rules for the order of the city wall. If the people on the upper city meet the people on the lower city, the people on the lower city will retreat, and the people on the upper city will go first. The people on the upper city may rush to support somewhere, or rush to send arrows somewhere.

These are all urgent military matters. Take the time to deal with the urgency.

Third, when attacking and defending, the city is in chaos, with shouts of killing. If there is an urgent need for support somewhere, and people shout for help, the soldiers waiting dozens of steps away from the wall may not be able to hear the call for help.

Therefore, a flag for help can be set up. A large red flag that is eye-catching is better.

From this point of view, if there is a section of city wall, several flags are dancing together, several places are in the same emergency, reinforcements rush to the city in a hurry, and in the rush, everything is red to the eye. How to identify where to turn the red flag to rescue?

Therefore, there should be markings on the flag to distinguish them. Because many of the soldiers could not read, but all the soldiers could recognize the twelve zodiac animals, so the twelve zodiac animals were used as the flag.

By extension, flag means that if it rains heavily, the flag will become wet and cannot be unfolded. Therefore, a hard flag can be made like a window screen with thin wooden frames on the four sides. Therefore, even if it rains heavily, the flag will still be unfolded.

It is also known that in order to prevent rain, the flag surface should be marked with lines and should not be scrawled with pen and ink. The ink marks will lose their shape when exposed to rain.

In addition to rain, there is also night time to consider. At night, the flag cannot be displayed, and firelight should be used as a signal for help.

in this way.

In the daytime, the city is waving its red flag,

At night, the city lights up with lanterns.

You can tell where the crisis is,

This supports the speed of splitting.

Therefore, the law of guarding the city can be strict and without chaos.

When Li Mengxi was thinking and writing, sometimes he frowned in deep thought, sometimes he lowered his head and wrote quickly. Before he knew it, the night was deep.

When I got back to the car, my little brother curled up on the quilt and fell asleep.

Li Mengxi laughed, this little bastard didn't even take off his shoes.

Carefully helping his brother take off his shoes, Li Mengxi fell asleep.
