Li Mengxi learned a lot about this magical strategy of cheating, and got a lot of its essence.

This is just the first shortcoming discovered during today's battle.

The second point is that in terms of tactics, I was still struggling before whether it was necessary to provide each soldier with a rope.

Now, I understand that the rope is an important auxiliary tool. It can be used to tie up luggage. It is also a transportation tool when climbing mountains and crossing rivers. It can also be used to pull down the enemy's wall, to pull the horse rope, and to use it when encountering a tight shield formation.

Sometimes, a rope is tied into a loop and thrown into the enemy's formation. Whether it is to trap people or weapons, and pull it out, a flaw will appear in the enemy's formation in an instant. Special equipment can sometimes produce miraculous effects that conventional armaments cannot.

, if they encounter a fierce general and capture the enemy general, the soldiers will tie him up with ropes and knock the enemy general to the ground in a short while.

In today's battle, the great use of ropes is that when capturing defeated soldiers, the prisoners can be tied up with ropes for easy custody.

The soldiers in the army were not equipped with ropes, and the war with the Yellow Turbans would inevitably involve capturing prisoners and robbing the troops. Therefore, the entire army must be equipped with ropes.

Regarding how to tie people with ropes, Li Mengxi spent a little time and came up with a method.

"The method of tying captives has two main points. First, the prisoners' hands and wrists are tied behind their backs, so that it is difficult for them to free themselves; second, multiple people are tied with one rope. The main point of this method is to use more to control the few. If there is only one person, the other

If your hands are tied, you can see if the restraints are loosened and you can escape at an opportunity. If two people are tied with the same rope, if one person wants to escape, he must convince the other person. If the other person is timid and does not dare to escape, then neither of them can.

To escape, two people must be brave to escape. If three people are bound together, all three must be brave to escape... By analogy, people have courage and timidity. The more people there are, the more entangled interests will be, and the success will be difficult.

The greater the difficulty, the less likely it is to succeed.

This principle is actually the same as the check and balance method to prevent chicken farmers from stealing eggs as soon as possible. It seems that all the reasons lead to the same goal.

Therefore, if multiple prisoners are tied up with one rope, the possibility of the prisoners escaping is greatly reduced.”

Guan Yu was surprised. He was curious about Li Mengxi's brain circuit and how he could learn so much while tying a prisoner.

Li Mengxi's perspective on thinking about problems is always strange and unique.

In addition to the need to lower the rope, Li Mengxi had other ideas.

Earlier, Li Mengxi thought of rope equipment, which can be equipped in the army as special armament. For example, a long hook with a grappling hook can be used to pull the enemy's wall. The cavalry can imitate the nomadic people and equip them with nooses and nooses.

Its usefulness is that when cleaning the battlefield, if there are scattered war horses, it is difficult to catch them, but it will be much easier to catch them with a snare.

War horses are precious. After a battle, there will be many ownerless horses scattered on the battlefield. If our cavalry is generally equipped with collars, then when we clean the battlefield after every war, we can capture dozens more war horses. Dozens more war horses.

How much wealth it is. Even if it is at a low level, if the war horses are used as food reserves, dozens of more war horses can provide a lot more meat. It is impossible to say that at critical times, with this little more meat, the military rations can last for a few more days. The key to success or failure is here.

at.

When he thought of the nooses used by nomadic people to catch horses, Li Mengxi also thought of a kind of sheep rope used to catch sheep. It was a short rope with stones tied on both sides. He rode the horse to chase the sheep. When he was almost close, he turned the sheep rope towards

When the sheep is thrown out, as long as it touches the sheep, the stones on the rope will automatically wrap around the sheep's legs under the action of inertia and centrifugal force, and tie the sheep's legs instantly.

It seems that at some time, the barbarians in the north used sheep ropes to catch slaves.

Now faced with the problem of low arrest efficiency, Li Mengxi remembered the few things he had written down that day.

Li Mengxi asked Guan Yu to make a rope to trip the sheep, and Guan Yu went to find ropes and stones.

After a while, Guan Yu came back, carrying a half-short straw rope in his hand, with stones tied to both ends of the straw rope.

Li Mengxi looked at the sheep rope and saw that it was tied well and the stones were tied tightly.

He looked around and said, "There." Li Mengxi pointed to a pile.

About ten or fourteen paces away, Guan Yu glanced at the pile, took the tripping rope and swung it around twice in his hand, then took it off and threw it, and the tripping rope whimpered and turned towards the pile.

flew over.

When approaching the pile, the rope in the middle hit the pile first, and then the stones at both ends of the rope wound around the pile with unabated force due to inertia and centrifugal force. In the blink of an eye, they were wrapped around the pile again and again, tightly.

.

At a distance of more than ten to twenty steps, the sheep tripping rope can still hit the target.

The stakes are wrapped around each other, but what about the person?

How about stalking someone when they are running away?

Based on the idea of ​​seeking truth from facts, Li Mengxi suggested that someone should be found to actually try the sheep rope to see how it works.

Guan Yu glanced around, "Hu Zi, come here!" Guan Yu shouted to a soldier walking by carrying firewood.

When the general summoned him, Huzi put down the bundle of firewood on his shoulder and came over.

"Huzi, start running." Guan Yuyou said with the rope in his hand.

Huzi was a little confused. He glanced at the stone in Guan Yu's hand and felt something was wrong.

Run away when the general tells you to.

The tiger ran away.

Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, and the rope in his hand whirled faster.

Hu Zi was very clever and knew that something was wrong, so he ran very fast. When Hu Zi ran to ten steps, Guan Yu threw the tripping rope with a hiss.

One move hit the ground, Huzi let out a groan, lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Li Mengxi could clearly see that the tripping rope had not completely tied the tiger's feet, but when the tiger was running fast, his feet were caught in the tripping rope, and his body was instantly unbalanced. He could no longer run and fell to the ground.

.

The tripping rope can be used to catch people.

But at the same time, a problem also arose. The sheep tripping rope was a bit cumbersome and weighed a certain amount, which added extra weight.

Now that the opponent is the Yellow Turban soldiers, it is very important to capture prisoners. It is necessary for the entire army to equip the tripping rope. But in the future, except for wars with the Yellow Turbans, there is no need for each person to carry one tripping rope as standing equipment. At most, it can be used as a special weapon.

, the equipment of the centurion level, it is enough to equip one tripping rope for every hundred people, which can be used to trip Lu Bu's feet when needed.

It is not difficult to collect ropes in the army. Liu Bei once specially asked the caravan to buy a lot of raw hemp. When he bought the raw hemp, he found that there was not enough rope when forming the armor.

Later, when discussing the engineering technology for crossing the river, it was mentioned that when building a pontoon and suspension bridge, a very long rope, dozens of feet long, was needed, and such a long rope was not available in the army.

Therefore, in order to prepare for emergencies, people in the army have already started weaving ropes.

Now when it comes time to have enough ropes, the army has stockpiled long and short ropes so that they can't be found.
Chapter completed!
