The rebel army has grown to more than 100,000 people, with an astonishing number of prisoners and only two to three thousand fighting soldiers.

After intercepting and killing Zhang Liang's tribe, the rebel army only rested for one day, then turned and headed west, heading straight to Nanluan City.

Along the way, there were no yellow scarves blocking the way.

Five days later, there was only one day left from Nanluan City.

The advance scouts found out that the army was in the process of besieging Nanluan City, and the city walls were tight and airtight.

In the rebel army, everyone discussed countermeasures.

The official army, that is, Dong Zhuo's tribe, surrounded the city tightly, and the rebel army had no way to intervene in the attack. However, Zhang Jiao was surrounded in the city, and the head on Zhang Jiao's neck represented his first contribution to the Yellow Turban challenge.

Seeing that he had missed the first success but missed it, Li Mengxi was very unwilling.

If you really want to seize military glory, there is no way out.

Dong Zhuo's attack on the city is in full swing. If the rebels forcefully drive away the officers and soldiers who are facing the city wall and seize the place to attack the city, Dong Zhuo will be angry and his troops will be held back. He will either grit his teeth and endure it, or give up the other three directions of the city.

Go on the offensive and fight with the rebels.

But Dong Zhuo had been attacking the city for so many days and his army was exhausted. Even if Dong Zhuo came to fight regardless, his chances of winning would be slim.

Thinking of this, Li Mengxi looked at the people in the tent and suggested, "Our army might as well press down on the city and do nothing else and just watch Dong Zhuo attack the city.

Dong Zhuo is already riding a tiger and it is difficult to dismount. He cannot attack or stop. With me waiting at his back, he will be in a dilemma."

Beside him, Zhang Fei grinned.

Li Mengxi's plan was too bullying.

Fortunately, it was not the rebels who were running fast, nor the rebels attacking the city.

Dong Zhuo was at odds with the rebels. If the rebels attacked the city for a long time, Dong Zhuo came, and then felt uncomfortable. Dong Zhuo would not have to do anything else, but would lead his troops and camp behind the rebels. No matter how courageous the rebels were, they would not dare to stop.

Defend.

Therefore, there were originally 20,000 men to attack the city with all their strength, but Dong Zhuo was watching closely behind. To be on the safe side, the rebels had to set aside 10,000 men to defend against Dong Zhuo.

If the siege of the city was slightly weakened, Dong Zhuo drove my siegemen out of the way and stepped in. At that time, I couldn't bear it anymore. The rebel army had been sieging the city for a long time and the Yellow Turbans were almost exhausted. Dong Zhuo came to pick peaches.

Ask Quan to make dowry for others.

Fortunately, Dong Zhuo was in front and the rebels were behind, so they were able to strike from the rear.

Today is November 17th.

night.

The affairs of the rebel army are becoming more and more complicated, but everything is still in order.

At night, in the forty training grounds with bright torches, routine drills were still carried out.

When Li Mengxi and Liu Bei were patrolling together, they saw that most of the training teams had even practiced running. Unknowingly, the running aspect even became decent.

Li Mengxi couldn't help but stop. He was outside, watching the training at the training ground, and raised his head and asked, "Hey, Mr. Xuande, how long have these forty Green Turban Soldiers been training for?"

Liu Bei frowned and thought for a while, "Thirty-four...thirty-fifth day."

When Li Mengxi heard this, he discovered that the second batch of recruits had been training for more than a month.

The original plan was to take the first batch of 40 people who had been trained, and each of them would take another 40 people to train 1,600 people, and then use 1,600 more to train tens of thousands.

I've been very busy lately, and I don't want to miss the deadline unknowingly.

Looking around, we can see that the progress of the training is almost the same. Almost all the training progress is running and walking. The entire queue is training. Except for the final team change, all the basics are completed.

It is better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. It is better to check the training results tonight.

After discussing with Liu Bei, Liu Bei thought it would be okay.

Then, Liu Bei sent his own soldiers, Guan and Zhang, to come together to observe the troops.

After Guan and Zhang arrived, many instructors at the training ground had been ordered to check the effectiveness of each instructor's training in one month's time.

At this moment, the sound of command lines in various drills disappeared. In the training grounds, men wearing blue silk turbans nervously explained to their recruits one by one.

Originally, Li Mengxi wanted to make a surprise attack without warning, and just went to check the results. Liu Bei stopped him, and Liu Bei said it was better to explain it in advance so that people could be prepared.

At the same time, while the Qingjin soldiers were making preparations, Liu Bei also ordered everyone to find all the torches and pillars that could be found in the camp.

For this reason, the carpenter camp temporarily stopped working, and the extra pillars were pulled out and used, especially in the prison camp. There were torch pillars all around the prison camp, and the soldiers pulled out all the torch stands.

Liu Bei planned to set up a training ground, a training ground large enough for 1,600 people to see clearly.

Outside the camp, Liu Bei found an open space and surrounded it with torches.

The venue is not very big, but there are many torch stands. Half a step away is a torch stand, which is surrounded like a wall. Only at both ends are there entrances and exits for queues to enter and exit.

By the time the venue was set up, roughly two quarters had passed.

Liu Bei ordered a team of forty new soldiers to line up.

After a while, the queue of new recruits arrived one after another.

Even before the drill started, initial results were visible.

The recruits came one after another. At that time, Li Mengxi did not let the teams practice together, they only practiced individually.

The recruit team came over, and Li Mengxi casually helped assign positions to each team. Under the leadership of their respective instructors, the recruit teams stood next to each other, automatically standing neatly and compactly.

It can be seen that uniformity has successfully penetrated into the minds of recruits.

The forty teams are actually less than 1,600 people, because there was a siege battle in Nanhe before, and the new soldiers were also pulled over to attack the city, and more than 100 people were killed and injured. Now, there are only more than 1,400 new soldiers here, and some

The team is not satisfied with the number of people.

This is fine, a queue with enough people is one kind of difficulty, and a queue with a shortage of people is another situation, so just practice them both.

Forty teams of people gathered around the torch-lit venue. They formed a circle, and everyone could see the queue movements in the venue.

The first team of recruits takes the field.

The start was slightly lacking, as the Qingjin Soldier instructor ran into the training ground.

According to Li Mengxi's thinking, as long as they are not disbanded, all actions must be carried out according to the rules and regulations. Even the action of leading the team on the field must be a standard running action with arms raised at the waist.

This is a shortcoming, but it is insignificant.

Afterwards, the instructor of the Qingjin Soldiers came to the center of the field and stood at attention. The torch was bright and surrounded by onlookers. This time was different from the usual solo training. The instructor of the Qingjin Soldiers was a little nervous and swallowed a few mouthfuls of spit, and then

, he calmed down and said, "Gather!" he ordered loudly.

At this time, Li Mengxi discovered another shortcoming.

The downside is that there is no serial number.

When you call to assemble, there are so many people and so many teams, who knows which team you want to assemble.

Now is a drill, there is no environmental interference, and it is easy to distinguish. If it is a war or an emergency gathering, there must be a number system.

The centurion of the first team shouted to assemble. When the first team heard it, they all knew to assemble. The other teams knew that they were not called, so they were not disturbed and did not make mistakes.

While Li Mengxi was thinking about this problem, outside the field, the recruits ran quickly towards the field.

Then, in front of the instructor, they stood one by one. When everyone arrived, the queue was synchronized. There were no captains or short teams, nor was there anyone who couldn't find his place. Although the team had not yet formed, in the

Looking from the side, there are four horizontal lines, which can be considered to be very uniform.

From one end of the queue to the other, between rows, the line of sight is clear and unobstructed.

The instructor looked at everyone and said, "Disband!"

Immediately ordered to disband.

After the recruits heard the disbandment command, they dispersed.

The dismissal command is also a command, and you must respond quickly.

Rather than saying that after being disbanded, it means that the training has stopped and you can take a leisurely stroll and chat on the spot.

In actual combat, when an order is given to disband, it may be to make people move to the side to make room for other teams.

After all, the queue transfer speed is still slow, not as fast as people spreading out and moving.

As you can see, in this first team, after the instructor gave the order to disband, the recruits dispersed quickly, which is remarkable.

The recruits gathered and dispersed, but the instructor stayed put. "Gather!" he gave another order.

The new recruits who were scattered everywhere quickly gathered again, and they automatically found their places when everyone arrived. When everyone arrived, the queue also formed.

"Using the person on the left in the first row as the benchmark, look to the left - Qi!" the instructor followed up with the command.

As soon as the word "Qi" ended, the recruits in the queue started to move together. Except for the first person on the left side of each row who did not move, the rest of the people moved in exactly the same way. They turned their faces to the left, looked to the left, and at the same time took quick small steps under their feet.

move.

It felt exactly the same to Li Mengxi, just like the queue he thought.

"Forward—look!"

brush!

The new recruits in the queue turned their heads forward at the same time.

If the queue is still a little bumpy when not aligned, after alignment, the queue is as straight as a knife, with a straight line from one end to the other.

"First row, from left to right, count in order!"

"one!"

"two!"
