The use of birds has probably been exhausted.

"It has three uses in military affairs and birds.

One is to watch the birds in the forest and know that there are ambushes in the forest.

The second is, The Legend of Fei Nu, Thousand Miles a Day.

The third purpose is to tame birds of prey and hunt enemy carrier pigeons."

Generally speaking, birds have three uses in military affairs.

There may be other uses, but Li Mengxi couldn't think of them for a while.

Unconsciously, my thoughts have expanded very far.

Since roosters, war horses, and birds all have extraordinary functions.

So, can only a rooster and war horse play a role in war?

I'm afraid it's more than that.

So, what about other animals besides roosters, war horses, and birds?

Li Mengxi couldn't help but stop writing, leaning on his chin, and started thinking.

Common ones in the military include roosters and ducks. I just bought some poultry a few days ago.

Ducks can be used... Of course, ducks, like roosters, can be used to stabilize morale.

However, its effect of stabilizing morale is far inferior to that of the rooster.

The rooster can crow, and the crow can be heard throughout the camp.

But the duck can't quack, and since it can't quack, people can't know its existence.

In case of a shortage of food and supplies, the general can indeed run around with a duck and show the duck to the soldiers. But when you think about it, Guan Yu is holding a duck and walking around with it high. The scene is too

Violation.

Furthermore, ducks cannot crow. Even so, today Guan Yu deliberately walked around the camp with a duck in his arms. The whole army knew that there was still a duck in the army and the army rations had not been completely exhausted.

But what about tomorrow? If Guan Yu stops wandering around, the soldiers will inevitably begin to wonder, has Guan Yu killed the last duck in the army and completely exhausted the army's rations?

Therefore, the duck's performance-to-price ratio is really poor in terms of stabilizing morale.

Ducks can swim, or the role of ducks is here.

Ducks are creatures that can float in water. They are like buoyant balls. When you need to swim, you can tie up a large group of ducks and tie them into a huge swimming ring, and then swim away while holding them.

This method is not only cumbersome and ridiculous but also inoperable.

Now the rebels have a lot of ducks to tie into swimming rings, but having a large group of ducks in the army is a logistical bloat and a drag.

Now that the structure of the rebel army is not streamlined, raising ducks is really a last resort and a temporary measure. In the future, when the army is truly successfully built and marching to fight, there is no reason to bring a large group of ducks.

Therefore, ducks are almost useless in the military. (In the army, there are many oxen that pull heavy weights.) Li Mengxi was thoughtful.

Cattle, in addition to their original functions as draft animals, hauling grain and grass, and as meat reserves, do they have any other uses?

Li Mengxi's thoughts whirled and he began to think.

Cattle, war, military use...

After a while, Li Mengxi thought of the answer.

"The use of oxen in military affairs. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Tian Dan used the Fire Oxen Formation to defeat the enemy's army and restore the isolated city.

There is a precedent here, and it can be seen that the ox can be used as a fire ox for rushing into battle."

Cows have this very powerful use.

Apart from this, is there any other use?

Li Mengxi thought for a long time, but he didn't expect it.

However, since he thought of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Li Mengxi immediately thought of another clever use of animals to win the war during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Jin army blindfolded their war horses and covered them with tiger skins, so the weak defeated the strong and defeated the Chu army.

So, Li Mengxi continued to record.

"Tiger is used in the military.

Tigers are difficult to raise, more difficult to tame, and difficult to scale.

However, tiger skin can be of great use.

War horses are afraid of tigers, this is nature.

If the enemy's cavalry is strong and our cavalry is weak, we can cover the horse's body with tiger skin to frighten the enemy's horse and thereby destroy its cavalry's combat effectiveness.

There are two tactics of covering horses with tiger skins. One is to cover the eyes of our horses with cloth, and then cover their bodies with tiger skins. In this way, our horses will not be frightened if they see tiger skins, but the enemy's horses will be frightened if they see tiger skins.

Frightened.

The second method is that if our army only has one man and one horse, the war horse should be covered with tiger skin, so there is no need to blindfold it.

Because the war horse cannot look at itself, and it will not disturb other war horses.

Therefore, I have one man and one horse, my horse is covered with tiger skin, and there are thousands of enemies riding on it. But our fierce generals are galloping into the formation, and there are thousands of enemy riding on them. When the horses see tiger spots, they are frightened and confused.

So, with one person and one cavalry, I can disrupt the enemy's formation of thousands of cavalry. If the formation is chaotic, I can break through the formation and kill the general, achieving a shocking feat. This is the only way to kill the general!"

Li Mengxi thought of Guan Yu. Guan Yu took Yan Liang's head out of thousands of troops and became famous throughout the ages.

If so, there is a tiger skin as a spare. When the enemy is strong and we are weak, and we have no choice but to capture the enemy general, and go straight to Huanglong to save the world, then we can use this to kill the fierce general who is unworthy of all men and ride on a good horse wrapped in tiger skin.

General skills, surprise, and one ride can determine the outcome.

Tiger skin is valuable, but not too scarce.

The tiger skin is not heavy. It is rolled up into a ball and cannot be placed on a horse's back to increase the load.

At worst, the soldiers will take care of it.

One or several pieces of this tiger skin can sometimes work wonders.

Li Mengxi was good at reverse thinking, that is, when he was deducing the siege tactics, he could conversely deduct the defensive tactics.

When deducing the art of building a stronghold, you can conversely deduce how to build a stronghold to avoid being breached by the enemy.

Now, from the old battles between Jin and Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, he knew the use of [tiger] in military formations, and he also realized the art of beheading generals. At the same time, Li Mengxi thought about how to prepare for it, and use tiger skin to cover the enemy in case of cold.

What if the horse turns around and attacks itself?

Tiger skins can scare people on the battlefield. There is no doubt that this scare is useless to people. No one will feel scared because the horses on the opposite side are covered with funny tiger skins. Naturally, tiger skins are only useful for livestock.

, including war horses and possibly the oxen and mules that pull the general's command cart.

Then, there are countermeasures to prevent the enemy from using tiger skins to plot against you.

"It can be seen from the old wars between Jin and Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period that tiger skin sometimes has unexpected uses.

In order to prevent the enemy from using this method to attack us, our cavalrymen riding war horses, as well as the driver responsible for guarding the carriages, horses and livestock, must wear a long and thick piece of cloth.

Why are the strips of cloth thick and long? Because, with a horse's head and an ox's head, the surrounding area is wide, and the cloth strip is not long, so it cannot be tied. If the cloth is not thick, the cloth is thin and the texture is sparse, even if it is covered with cloth, the war horse can still see things blurred.

Also frightened.

Therefore, cavalry drivers must carry long thick strips of cloth.

On weekdays, this strip of cloth can be used as a towel for washing and wiping Han people. When they see the enemy's cavalry wearing tiger skins, it will blind the horses in an instant, preventing them from being frightened by our formation, and the evil plan will succeed."

"From this we also know that when the cavalry sees the enemy's tiger cavalry, it is necessary to blindfold the horse. However, the carts, cattle and mules in the army that carry the generals to observe the formation can be blinded from the beginning to the end.

Therefore, if the enemy's cavalry comes outflanking, the oxen pulling the cart are not as good as the war horses. The war horses are familiar with the battle formation and are not easily panicked.

If you run around, chaos will occur. If chaos occurs, you will disrupt the formation. If you disrupt the formation, you will be easily defeated.
