Different from the sparse marching team that stretched for several miles, it turned out that there were so many people gathered together, and the activities of the five thousand people were divided into five hundred small groups, and it was so chaotic.

It was too confusing to look at. After just one glance, Li Mengxi realized a lot of problems.

The most common ones are organizational problems. For example, because there is no designated training area, and there is no ability to coordinate among the village warriors, the training is deliberately opened, and the civilians are only trained to go straight, but some go forward and backward.

There were people walking, left and right, in all directions, affecting each other and interfering with the training. The chaos was unsightly.

Li Mengxi had a headache when he saw it.

It turns out that managing an army of five thousand people is such a difficult task.

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had no choice but to stop watching it.

Now, before attacking the mountain, I took some time to see the seal. It was not really about training soldiers. To be precise, it was about walking.

Li Mengxi walked toward Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

Li Mengxi took the initiative to chat with Zhang Fei. Li Mengxi said with a smile, "The voices of the three generals are like thunder, and their divine roars should be used as weapons to intimidate the enemy.

When we attack the mountain later, if the enemy's army is already weakened, if the general roars at this time, the enemy will be disbanded!"

Zhang Fei looked proud.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Liu Bei and Guan Yu couldn't stop laughing when they heard this.

Why did Liu Bei and Guan Yu laugh?

Li Mengxi may exaggerate about his martial arts or bravery, but what does it mean when he praises his loud roar?

It's like praising a relative's child, "Hey, your child looks... so young!"

Simply.

Let the local warriors with an organization degree of only 20 train civilians with an organization degree of five. They will fight against the five scum and practice against the five scum. In the end, they will still fight against the five scum.

Li Mengxi simply stopped looking at how the military training was going. He looked down at his feet and counted a thousand, not sure if it would last for a quarter of an hour. Then he suddenly raised his head.

After practicing enough, success or failure ends here. We cannot delay the time to attack the mountain. If we delay any longer, it will be dark.

"Form up!"

Li Mengxi exhaled loudly and shouted to the chaotic crowd in front of him.

"Form up!" A voice from the side sounded like thunder.

There was not enough organization, so many people formed a formation rashly, there was no exact location for the station, and it was chaotic.

Finally, after waiting for at least five minutes, five thousand people lined up.

Li Mengxi made a visual inspection thirty or forty steps away and found that it was OK and that they were standing fairly evenly.

After a while, it was up to these peasants who had just learned to walk in formation to build momentum.

Li Mengxi rehearsed in his mind. These people must not walk too fast. If they walk too fast, they will get confused.

Due to the terrain constraints, it would definitely not be possible to walk together with such a large square array.

The more people in a row, the harder it is to keep them together.

Therefore, more than 5,000 people had to be divided into square formations.

At this point, there is another question, that is, how many rows of arrays are suitable?

The 10x10 phalanx has the best visual effect and is also the best at frightening the enemy. However, the difficulty is a bit too high for the civilians, and the effect is not good because of uneven movement.

The only choice is to form a 10x5 five-row column.

In addition, there is another question: how many five-row columns are appropriate to march together?

Since the purpose is to scare the enemy, the more people they can see at once, the better. Therefore, the team should not be too long, but should be wide.

However, due to the terrain, it is impossible for all five square columns to line up in a long horizontal row.

How many five-row phalanxes can be accommodated at the narrowest point of the road leading to the foot of Qingyun Mountain?

According to the barrel theory, the number of square formations to be kept in parallel depends on how narrow the road is at its narrowest point, because in this way, the process of alternating formations back and forth is eliminated.

For the phalanx composed of civilians, the simpler and more brainless the better. It is best to go straight all the way without any changes.

Li Mengxi thought about how narrow the narrowest place was. After thinking about it, he found that he had no idea at all.

Although I went with Guan Yu and others to observe the formation, I forgot to memorize the terrain.

When it comes to fighting, I don't remember the terrain. I just watch the formation and watch the hammer.

Major mistake.

Li Mengxi had no choice but to ask Guan Yu the question.

Guan Yu thought for a moment and said, "Six formations go forward together."

The six formations are the same as before, that is, one horizontal column, six five-column formations, a small square formation with fifty people, and the sixth formation is three hundred people.

Taking the formation as an individual, there should be at least sixteen rows in vertical rows.

When the discussion was almost over, Li Mengxi, Liu Guan and Zhang came out and ordered the village warriors to divide the peasants into small square formations of ten people in five rows and one row, totaling fifty people. There were sixty or seventy such square formations, and these six

Seventy small square formations, six more horizontally, arranged down the line.

It took a while to get the formation in order.

Once that's done, the formation can just move forward like this until the fighter planes are in place. When they reach the bottom of the mountain, the civilians will have completed their mission.

By the way, it's best to add some sound effects, such as "Whoever surrenders will avoid death!"

Afraid that the purely civilian team would not be able to go well, Li Mengxi had to add a final layer of insurance and borrowed people from the baggage corps. He borrowed a hundred village warriors, each of whom served as a "half-centurion", and each village warrior was responsible for restraining a party.

Formation, let the square array move together.

Then, there is the issue of weapons. For an army whose only duty is to build momentum, what kind of weapons should be issued?

Crossbows are not necessary.

Li Mengxi's genius little brain thought for a while and decided that it was the weapon with the best visual effect from a distance and the most suitable for bluffing troops.

The weapons with the best visual effect are long pole weapons. The longer the better.

With the spear raised, it looks like a forest from a distance.

What about the short-hand weapons? If you look further away, except for people, you can’t see the short-hand weapons at all.

When it comes to visual effects and bluffing, the Lancer is the undisputed king.

Unfortunately, the total number of long weapons accumulated by the baggage train team is less than 3,000.

During the siege of Wen'an County, thousands of people were indeed captured, thousands now.

But for the Yellow Turban, many people just sharpen a wooden stick and use it as a weapon.

The wooden sticks had no value and were a waste of transportation capacity, so they were all lost, so now it is impossible for everyone to have a pretentious pole weapon.

Now it comes to the coordination issue that Li Mengxi is good at.

The visual effects from far away and near are different. What the farmers closest to the foot of the mountain are holding can be seen by the Yellow Turbans on the mountain.

I can't see clearly what's behind.

Then allocate the short-term soldiers who are not easy to see to the people in front, so that the Yellow Turbans can see clearly, and see that they are holding real weapons; the civilians further behind, allocate long-pole weapons, and continue to let the Yellow Turbans see clearly.

See clearly the forest of long poles.

If you're far away, you won't be able to see clearly whether it's a gun or just a stick.

In addition, there is another point that is related to success or failure.

Although the phalanx formed by the civilians is an army used to bluff people, they have to pretend to be more like it. The civilians in front cannot be given no weapons. If the enemy general is smart, he will know at a glance that the civilians are used to make up the numbers, even the weapons.

No, I'm still afraid of a ghost.

Guan and Zhang led the troops and left first.

After a while, Liu Bei and Li Mengxi rode on a horse together, leading thousands of people from the civilian camp, forming a queue and slowly following behind.

One mile away from the foot of the mountain, after a steep and undulating slope, Minfu Camp stopped.

Further forward you can see the Yellow Turban on the mountain.

Li Mengxi looked back on his horse. Behind him, there were small square formations that looked like each other.

In three moments, a civilian who could only act like herding sheep became like a regular army.
Chapter completed!
