In the morning, at around noon, Li Mengxi saw the silhouette of a mountain in the distance.

Li Mengxi originally thought that after seeing the mountain, it wouldn't take long for him to reach the bottom of the mountain, and then a battle would break out.

For this reason, Li Mengxi told his younger brother not to move or get up while sleeping in the car.

Because the younger brother got a new silk cloak, it was very fresh and he was very dressed. Li Mengxi asked his younger brother to take off the cloak. The color of the cloak was too bright. On the battlefield, the color was conspicuous, which was equivalent to being the first to sell.

My brother didn't know why he was allowed to lie down and not move.

"Brother, do I want to sit there and watch people?"

My brother couldn't speak clearly. He meant that he was bored on the road and wanted to watch the people in front of him walking.

Think of people as monkeys, right?

Why didn't Li Mengxi let his younger brother crawl around in the car? This was because Li Mengxi thought that if there was a war and arrows were flying around, there was no telling when an arrow would be blown by the wind.

Lying down, the arrow hits a smaller area, it's that simple.

Li Mengxi also thought that if there was to be a fight in a while, it would not be safe to lie down on the car. He would have to get under the car to be safe.

Li Mengxi originally thought that it would only take him a moment to reach the distant mountains.

Unexpectedly, it took a long time to leave.

It was estimated that we walked for more than an hour before we reached the foot of the mountain, which was still a little far away.

At this moment, Li Mengxi remembered what it meant to run to death at Wangshan Mountain.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Li Mengxi looked around and could vaguely see a camp set up on the top of the mountain, with a clutter of people in the camp.

This mountain is a solitary mountain. The mountain body is not high, but the mountain path is steep, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The grain truck stopped, and Guan Yu was mobilizing his troops in front.

Hundreds of people were captured. Guan Yu ordered the prisoners to stand in rows to show off their momentum.

Then, he led a hundred local warriors and lined up to attack the mountain.

After preparations were completed, Guan Yu thought for a moment, rode back and found Li Mengxi.

Guan Yu found the two brothers Li Mengxi hiding under the grain cart. Guan Yu possessed him and looked at the two hiding dolls, which was a bit funny.

"Mengxi, can you come with me to observe the enemy's situation?" Guan Yu still remembered that Li Mengxi said that he was willing to learn military strategy from him, and Guan Yu was very interested in this.

Li Mengxi was stunned for a moment, "Okay!" Li Mengxi replied.

He asked his brother to stay and stop running around. Li Mengxi asked the driver of the cart to look after his brother and planned to go with Guan Yu to see how to observe the enemy's situation and how to observe the enemy's situation.

Guan Yu rides a tall horse with a cloth saddle and one-sided stirrups.

Seeing this, Li Mengxi suddenly remembered the three-piece cavalry suit, high bridge saddle, horseshoes, and double stirrups, these three epoch-making cavalry weapons.

At this time, it was not the time to discuss the saddle, so Li Mengxi took note of the matter and discussed it later when he had time.

"Xi'er, do you know how to ride?"

Guan Yu looked down at Li Mengxi with a smile.

"No." Li Mengxi smiled awkwardly, as he was not as tall as a horse.

So, Guan Yu first stepped on the horse, then leaned over and grabbed Li Mengxi under his armpits, picked Li Mengxi up from the ground, and placed him on the horse's back.

"Grab so-and-so's clothes." Guan Yu said.

"Drive." Guan Yu lightly clamped his legs on the horse's belly and rode the horse forward.

Afraid of falling off the horse, Li Mengxi held on to Guan Yu's clothes tightly with both hands.

Li Mengxi felt very unhappy. Why was he a child? Why wasn't he a few years older?

There is no dignity in being carried around as a child.

If we were to discuss the general trend of the world, others would laugh when they saw it.

In a childish voice, he pretends to say, "The general trend of the world is that if we divide for a long time, we will unite, and if we unite for a long time, we will divide." It is too inconsistent.

It seems that the weather is not with me.

Li Mengxi lamented in his heart.

With one hundred troops at his command, Guan Yu led his troops to attack the mountain.

Li Mengxi looked back, and saw the village heroes running behind him carrying spears and following in the dust raised by the horses' hooves. They followed closely for fear of not being able to keep up.

Li Mengxi discovered that the country warriors could keep up with the horses at walking speed.

It seems that Guan Yu deliberately controlled the speed of the horses so that the cavalry and infantry would not be separated.

I learned something. A general should advance with the army. He should not rush to the front when his head is hot or he kills someone crazy, so as to distance himself from the subordinates behind him.

Not to mention whether it is dangerous for the general to go deep alone, without the general's command, if there is chaos in the rear, there will be no one to control it.

If the military formation is in chaos, if the enemy does not fight, many people will be trampled to death.

Guan Yu led his troops to the foot of the mountain. In the camp on the mountain, there were also Yellow Turban troops. They hurried down from the top of the mountain and rushed to a relatively gentle platform in the middle of the mountain road halfway up the mountain to guard the mountain road.

"Hey!" Guan Yu reined in his horse and stopped not far from the foot of the mountain.

"Xi'er, what do you think of the Yellow Turban army's situation on the mountain?"

Guan Yu looked up for a moment, then turned around and asked.

When Li Mengxi heard this, he jumped off his horse.

Taking a step forward, Li Mengxi covered his forehead with his palms and raised his head. He heard the Yellow Turbans yelling and provoking on the mountain. Looking at the Yellow Turbans halfway up the mountain, there were many figures, but he couldn't tell the military situation.

I just feel that the formation of the Yellow Turbans is uneven.

After looking at it for a while, I didn't see what was going on.

Li Mengxi raised his head and answered truthfully, "General Guan, I don't know how to observe the formation."

"Yes." Guan Yu nodded, brushed his long beard with his hand, and said instructing, "Xi'er, according to you, how many people are there in the Yellow Turbans in the middle of the mountain?"

"I don't know." Li Mengxi shook his head.

"More than three hundred." Guan Yu replied.

Li Mengxi was curious, "...How could General Guan tell that there were more than three hundred people? He couldn't tell."

Guan Yu raised his head and smiled, raised his finger and pointed, "If the flags are in order, the number of people can be determined by the flags.

For every ten men in the army, there is one Shi, one of the Shi is holding a spear and flag, and for every hundred men, there is one uncle. Among a hundred men, there must be a big banner, and among a crowd of five hundred men, there must be a general's banner.

The Yellow Turbans on the mountain are where defeated troops gathered and their flags were unprepared.

Therefore, the strength of the troops cannot be determined by flags.

As for how someone knew that there were three hundred enemy troops... Meng Xi would be able to know this if he went through many battles in the future."

Li Mengxi understood.

It turns out that there are roughly two ways to judge the number of people. One is that for a well-organized enemy army, you can roughly judge its strength by looking at the flag.

Or, just by feeling.

After a lot of fighting, you can roughly tell how many enemy troops there are by just glancing at the battlefield.

"Xi'er, wait and see, how is the formation of hundreds of Yellow Turbans halfway up the mountain?"

"It seems to be in chaos." Li Mengxi did not see the Yellow Turbans forming a neat formation.

"Not bad." Guan Yu nodded.

"Also, our army has reached the foot of the mountain, and the Yellow Turbans are condescending and have not fired a single shot. Why? The defeated army lost its weapons, and the outside is strong but the inside is weak."

"Therefore, the yellow scarves on this mountain are not something to be afraid of. Without bows and crossbows, how can they defend the mountain? Our army can win in one battle."

Guan Yu commented.

Li Mengxi suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.

Observe the enemy's military situation. First, see whether its array is neat and orderly. Whether the array is neat or not, you can see whether the enemy's training is sufficient and whether its military discipline is good.

Second, look at the terrain where the enemy troops are arrayed. From this, you can see the military talents of the enemy generals.

From the second point, it can be seen that the small Yellow Turban leader who gathered this group of defeated troops still had strategic vision. He did not block the camp on the top of the mountain, but blocked it on the mountain road.
