Li Mengxi frowned.

I didn't realize before that hard flags are not without merit, and soft flags are not completely hoisted by hard flags.

The soft flag can flutter, flutter left and right, up and down, and can be fluttered in the slightest breeze. This means that the soft flag is visible 360 ​​degrees.

The hard flag has its own visual blind spots.

Li Mengxi thought about solving the problem. The problem was easy to solve. He made a cross-shaped flag. That is, two flags were hung on the flagpole. One flag faced east and west, and the other flag faced north and south. In this way, it would be 360 ​​degrees without blind spots.

Identified.

Since we have already made two flags, we might as well make four identical flags, which can also be made into a box structure and easy to fix.

Li Mengxi told Lu Li how to improve the camp flag. The general principle was to weave a box with no bottom or lid on top of the flagpole, with only four walls, and then hang the flag on the four-wall frame.

In this way, the camp flag can be seen from any angle.

Li Mengxi also said that if it is easy to make a triangular frame, then it is also possible to make a triangular frame. If only three flags are hung, it can still go 360 degrees without any blind spots.

Moreover, maybe the triangular frame is better. Everyone on earth knows that triangles are stable, but parallelograms are unstable.

The triangular frame not only saves material, but is also strong.

The three flags are each divided into one-third of an angle of 160 degrees, that is, each is 120 degrees.

Lu Li said that the tripod is better to make.

Then, the flags of each camp should be constructed with a triangular frame.

Although the flagpole is a bit cumbersome due to the cumbersome shelves added to it, the camp flag has different functions from the battle flag, so if it is cumbersome, it will not have much impact.

It was decided to make a triangular frame, so one flag for each of the four battalions was not enough. The same flag needed two more for each battalion.

After the Jin Dynasty, Li Mengxi went to the women's and children's camp again and told the embroiderer Liu to make two more flags each.

Regarding flags, Li Mengxi learned new knowledge in a moment.

First, he accidentally understood the advantages and disadvantages of soft flags and hard flags.

Although the soft flag will get wet in the rain, this problem can also be solved. The flag surface is soft, no matter how heavy the flag fabric is, even if it is soaked, the flag bearer will hold the flagpole and shake it hard a few times.

It can still be expanded.

As long as the flag can be unfolded, it can serve as a 360-degree mark and can be seen by the surrounding soldiers. It does not have to be waved all the time. Waving a wet flag is very tiring. After shaking it for a moment, the soldiers can see it.

Therefore, why in war movies, when launching an attack, the red flag must be waved vigorously several times. This is the reason.

When the flag is waved, it can have a 360-degree viewing angle. Furthermore, when it is waved, the flag spreads out, making the target larger and more conspicuous, making it easier for soldiers to see it.

Perhaps, when the flag rolls fiercely and wildly, its dynamic and powerful effect has a certain morale-boosting effect.

The advantage of the soft flag is that the soft flag can be made very large, and the area of ​​the soft flag is much larger than that of the hard flag.

Therefore, soft flags are sometimes more visible than hard flags.

The disadvantage of a soft flag is that when it rains, the flag will stop flying. It is not bad if it rains. But if the weather is worse, when the frost is heavy and the cold is not heard, the flag will freeze when it rains and freezes again.

It's so hard that no matter how hard you swing it, it's like a stick and can't be danced.

The advantages of the soft flag are, first, it is light, second, it has a 360-degree viewing angle, third, the soft flag is fierce and powerful, and can boost morale, and fourth, the flag is broad, far superior to a hard flag.

The advantages and disadvantages of hard flags are.

The disadvantages are: firstly, it is bulky, secondly, it cannot have a full-angle viewing angle, thirdly, the flag is small, and fourthly, the hard flag cannot be waved vigorously to boost morale.

The advantage of a hard flag is that it is not afraid of wind, rain, ice and frost, and does not require force to wave the flag.

Combining the advantages and disadvantages of the two flags, Li Mengxi re-examined how to design the flag system in the military.

Soft flags and hard flags have different advantages and disadvantages.

Is it possible to combine the advantages of a soft flag and a hard flag to make it light, eye-catching, without visual blind spots, able to stand upright in wind, rain, ice and frost, and move to boost morale? Li Mengxi thought carefully, but could not get an answer.

Just because there can't be an answer now doesn't mean there won't be an answer in the future.

Li Mengxi wrote down the problem emphatically.

The camp flag is newly made, but it still has a shortcoming, that is, it is not convenient enough.

The handle of the flagpole should be sharpened to make it easier to place the flag on the ground.

But when Lu Li carried the flag over, the handle of the flagpole was still flat and it was very difficult to insert it into the ground.

When Li Mengxi finished taking notes on soft flags and hard flags in the car, he went to Jiangying and mentioned the flagpole issue to Lu Li, who laughed.

It turned out that there was no need for Li Mengxi to remind the carpenters of such a simple problem. They had rich life experience and could easily see the problem and then sharpen the flagpole.

The carpenters didn't think it was a big deal. In Li Mengxi's case, no matter how small his intellectual achievements were, they were worthy of praise.

I asked, who had the idea to sharpen the flagpole, but no one could be found, because the carpenters picked up the flagpole and cut it off a few times, and no one reminded them, so it was impossible to determine whose idea it was.

In desperation, those who cut down the flagpole were given a pound of grain each.

Li Mengxi's learning ability is better than others.

He thought that since the handle of the flagpole could be sharpened to make it easier to insert into the soil, in fact, a gun tip could be placed on the top of the flagpole, which was extremely necessary especially for soldiers.

Once the flag-bearer holds the flag, he can no longer hold the sword. When the flag-bearer rushes with the team, if the flag-bearer cannot fight, then a manpower is seriously wasted.

Therefore, the flag of the ten-man team is actually a gun with a flag tied to it. The flag bearer is both a spearman and a flag bearer, making the best use of manpower.

There is no doubt that the flag bearer of the ten-man team must use a flag gun, otherwise one of every ten people will be unable to fight, which is a serious waste of manpower.

As for the flag-bearer of the Centurion and Thousand-Man Corps, is it necessary to place a spearhead on the big flag?

After careful consideration, Li Mengxi came to this conclusion.

"According to the battlefield levels, the flag of the ten-man team is the smallest, the hundred-man team's flag is slightly larger, and the thousand-man team's flag is even larger, so that the layers are clear.

Therefore, the flag gun of a ten-man team is light and easy to fight with. The flag of a hundred-man team is slightly heavier, so if it is used to fight with the flag, it is a bit cumbersome. The flag of a thousand-man team is even heavier, making it even more difficult to fight.

Moreover, if the flag of a hundred-man team is followed by a hundred people, and the enemy rushes forward, the flag-bearer will use the flag to stab the enemy, and the flag will fall down for a moment, which is no big deal.

However, the flag of a thousand-man team, thousands of people look up to it, thousands of eyes look at it, the responsibility and power are heavy, and it cannot be overthrown for a moment.

Therefore, the flag officer of a thousand-man army is not allowed to lay down his flag to stab the enemy. The flag of a thousand-man army may not rest on the spear point. It is also strictly ordered that when the enemy approaches, the flag officer of a thousand-man army cannot lower the flag to defend against the enemy. He can hold the flag.

If you retreat temporarily, you can place the flag on the ground, draw your sword and come forward to fight, but do not let the flag of the thousand-man team disappear for a moment.

As for the flag of the Centurion, there is no need for this strict order."

In short, it is necessary to install a spearhead on the Centurion and Ten's flag, and the Centurion and Ten's flag is also light, so it can be used to kill the enemy.

However, the Thousand-Man Team Flag is a bit heavy. Not only is it inconvenient to use in combat, but also because the Thousand-Man Team Flag is an extremely important battlefield symbol and cannot be lost. Therefore, the Thousand-Man Team Flag, even if it is equipped with a gun tip, is

There's no need to poke people with it.

This is what the infantry flag looks like.

As for the cavalry, it seems that the cavalry's tactical movements determine that the cavalry's flag gun can be used as long as it has a flat end and the horse's speed is used to impact the flag gun, without the need to hold the flag gun and jab hard at all.

This shows that the infantry cannot fight with the thousand-man flag, but the cavalry can fight with the flag and gun.

From this, preliminary considerations for a military flag system were made.

In the infantry, a soft flag is used for the gun flag of the ten-man army, and a soft flag is used for the gun flag of the centurion team.

Because these two levels of battle flags need to be used as weapons, a hard flag would be too heavy.

Using a soft flag as a gun flag may also be used in actual combat, by shaking the flag and sweeping it towards the enemy's face to disrupt the enemy's sight.

The infantry's flag of a thousand-man team can use a hard flag, so the flag does not need to be used as a weapon for fighting. It does not matter if it is heavier. Using a hard flag can also prevent the impact of rain, ice and snow on the flag surface.

As for the cavalry, the team flags of ten-man troops, hundred-man troops, and thousand-man troops all use soft flags.

As for the impact of ice, snow and rain on the cavalry flags, it is not that big. When the horses run at extremely fast speeds, the flags can easily flutter. Even if there is frost, they will be shaken off after a few bumps.

To summarize,

"The flag in the military should be divided into soft and hard.

A team of ten people uses a soft flag, a team of a hundred people uses a soft flag, a team of a thousand people uses a hard flag, and a team of ten thousand people uses a hard flag.

When riding, all use soft flags.

If it is a naval force, the navy will all use hard flags. Because the water is wet, the flags are easy to get wet. Furthermore, the ship is narrow and there is no space to wave and display the flags.

Logistics departments use hard flags, and their flags are not necessary for combat.

When defending the city, use a hard flag to mark the flag. When defending the city, use a hard flag. Because the city is narrow and the troops cannot be deployed, and the city is fixed and the guarding positions are fixed, the flags marking each team can be inserted into the city bricks.

, without occupying a single manpower.

A hard flag is not afraid of wind and rain, and can be spread even when no one is waving it. At this time, a hard flag is far better than a soft flag."

The flag system has been further improved again.
