Much.

If you don't have armor, you will die with one strike. If you have bamboo armor, if you strike with a sword, the bamboo armor will break and the strength of the sword will be reduced by half. You can only be injured but not dead. If you don't die, you can counterattack with one strike. This is the meaning of garbage bamboo armor - the cost is ridiculously low.

.

There were wooden spears and wooden armor in front of him. Zhang Jiao had some clever skills in running the army. Li Mengxi was curious as to what else he could learn from in the Yellow Turban Army.

"Let's go and look around again." Li Mengxi invited.

Obviously he was in the Yellow Turban Army, so Li Mengxi was more like a host, but Zhang Jiao was like a guest, following Li Mengxi every step of the way.

Moving to the wounded soldiers camp, when Zhang Jue arrived, the wounded soldiers struggled to get up, and Zhang Jue went over to comfort everyone.

As can be seen, Zhang Jiao was deeply popular among the Yellow Turban Army.

When they arrived at the cattle and mule place, Li Meng saw a large group of cattle and mules gathered together, surrounded by wooden fences and guarded by soldiers.

A large group of cattle and mules gathered together to create a spectacular scene. Zhang Jiao said that there were so many cattle and mules in the Yellow Turbans, but there were actually so many.

Li Mengxi was silent. It seemed that before the Yellow Turbans were completely exhausted, there were so many animals that even if they were killed, they could eat them for half a month.

The Yellow Turban Army's cattle and mules were closely guarded by soldiers. It seems that Zhang Jiao knew the importance of livestock and transport capacity.

At this point, I don’t know how many Yellow Turbans have eaten all the cattle and mules.

The rebel army had fought many battles since they left Zhuozhou, but they had never encountered the Yellow Turban Army with so many cattle and mules as Zhang Jiao's troops.

As they walked further, Li Mengxi suddenly came to Yijiao Camp and saw that the camp was full of women and children. He turned back and arrived at the Yellow Turban Women and Children Camp.

When I saw the women's and children's camp, there were many children who had not made fire to cook anywhere else. In the women's and children's camp of Yellow Turban, they had already hung up pottery jars to get food for cooking.

We can see from the details that the reason why the women and children camp started eating first is because the Yellow Turban Army had other arrangements for the women and children camp. The reason why the women each took food bags to take food from the food bags for cooking was because at least the women had food.

There is no shortage of food.

Li Mengxi wanted to rebel against the women and children camp, but he didn't expect that Zhang Jiaobu and the rebels were similar in every way.

Li Mengxi suddenly saw a woman wearing rattan armor on a child.

Tengjia, none of the rebels have this thing...

Li Mengxi was very curious. He went over and took a look and saw where the rattan armor was. It was a "clothing" made of wheat straw and as big as a T-shirt. It had no sleeves. The size and shape of the wheat straw garment were similar to a T-shirt.

Seeing that Li Mengxi was very interested in this, Zhang Jiao, who was following behind, explained in time, "This is a straw armor, made from wheat straw.

Now that it is approaching the twelfth lunar month, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing. There is little cloth in the army, and we specially weave grass into clothes to keep out the winter cold."

Zhang Jiao explained like this, and Li Mengxi suddenly remembered that a long time ago, he saw that most of the Yellow Turban prisoners were in ragged clothes. It was only autumn at that time and the weather was not yet cold. He had already discussed with Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others that there were many civilians, so in case of cold weather

, it’s too late to raise more fabrics, we need to prepare early for winter.

That was after the battle in Wen'an County and Qingyun Mountain, when there were nearly 10,000 civilians in the army.

But at that time, although I realized that I should prepare for winter, I had been looking for a way. The only way I thought of was to have the caravan buy more fabrics to stock up on supplies. I never thought that wheat straw could actually

Make clothes to keep out the cold.

Seeing the Yellow Turban Army wearing straw armor to keep out the cold, Li Mengxi suddenly thought of something else. It is said that during the Great Depression in the United States, people had no money to buy firewood or cloth, so they had to stuff newspapers into their clothes to keep out the cold.

Newspaper stuffed into clothes must have some warmth-keeping effect. Similarly, wheat straw stuffed into clothes can also provide some warmth.

Simply stuffing wheat straw into clothes is definitely uncomfortable, and the wheat straw will always fall off. Weaving straw armor is actually the best way to use wheat straw to keep warm.

Li Mengxi even thought that wheat straw could not only be used to knit warm clothes the same size as T-shirts, but also very large, thick, wind-proof and warm-keeping coats that were just like coats.

Fabric was scarce and difficult to assemble, so wheat straw became the key to keeping out the winter cold. Li Mengxi felt that he had to collect wheat straw as soon as possible.

The method to keep out the cold could be so simple, but he didn't expect it, and Li Mengxi couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Behind them, Li Mengxi saw another group of yellow turban patrol soldiers passing by. Li Mengxi saw this patrol of yellow turban soldiers. They were all carrying very long and thick rafters, with short spears tied to their heads.

Li Mengxi pointed at the large rafter spearmen who passed by and said, "Is this a way to break the formation?

I know that there are five ways to break the cone formation. The first is the shield soldier hitting the formation left and right to open the door, the second is the ground knife method, the third is the fire ox formation, and the fourth is the car charging method to break the formation. This fifth,

This is the method of breaking the formation with long rafters.

By relying on the length of the rafters, I can attack the enemy's spear formation. The enemy's spears are short and cannot attack me. Therefore, I can attack but cannot attack the enemy, and can break the formation."

Having said that, Li Mengxi commented, "If the long rafters break the formation, if the enemy is pressed by the spear formation, the long rafters cannot fight against it. Therefore, if the long rafters break the formation, they can break the fixed formation, but they cannot fight against it."

When Li Mengxi talked about the method of breaking the formation, Zhang Jiao's eyes flashed, "...it's not just about breaking the formation, it's about resisting the cavalry." Zhang Jiao said.

Li Mengxi frowned, guessed wrong?

Then, Zhang Jiao told Li Mengxi the tactics of long rafter spear formation to resist cavalry without any secret. He mentioned that this method was used that day to resist the charge of Xiliang cavalry.

"This method is called [Horse Slaughtering Formation]." Zhang Jiao said.

Li Mengxi's eyes widened. It seems that it is said that the Qin army also has a long spear with a thief leader. The leader of the spear cannot be held by one person, so two people have to hold one spear. The super long spear of the Qin army is also used to fight against the cavalry.

The Yellow Turbans used the large rafter spear formation to restrain the cavalry, which was similar to the Qin army's Zhang Ge formation.

Li Mengxi frowned, is this okay?

Against cavalry, the longer the gun, the better?

This should be.

It seems that there are at least two types of spearmen in the army. One type of spear is used for fighting, and the length is about the same as that of a gun. The other type is specially used to resist cavalry. It is a super long spear and a pure spear formation. The longer the spear, the better. It is best to have it as long as the spear.

The Qin army has a very long gun. Even if one person cannot hold it, the person behind can put the gun on the shoulder of the person in front. The gun must be as long as it can be.

Such a spear formation, like a hedgehog, is the best at defeating cavalry.

Li Mengxi obtained the "Horse Slaughtering Formation" tactic. Zhang Jiao called it the Horse Slaughtering Formation, but in fact Li Mengxi believed that the key was not the formation, but the weapon, a super long spear that had grown to its limit.

——

Finally, Li Mengxi stayed in Zhangjiao Camp until evening. He saw that Zhangjiao Camp was in good order. Although there were tens of thousands of people, there was no noise and everything was quiet.

Looking closely, Zhang Jiao's troops seemed to be much quieter than the rebels.

Li Mengxi looked at the Yellow Turban Army camp in the tent village and said quietly, "A few months ago, a certain person enlightened himself on the method of observing the Yellow Turban.

[Looking at the sharpness of the yellow turbans, those with oxen and mules are the sharpest, those with neat formations, the second, those with bright armor and spears, the third, and those with the power of numbers, the third.

The rest are nothing to worry about.】

We, the Zhuozhou rebels, came out of Zhuozhou and fought against the Yellow Turbans for more than forty years. We encountered many Yellow Turban tribesmen. However, your Zhangjiao tribe alone has many cattle and mules.

Powerful and united, everyone is united."

Having said this, Li Mengxi raised his head and looked at Zhang Jiao, saying solemnly, "If all the Yellow Turbans in the world were like you, I think the Yellow Turbans would have been accomplished long ago."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After that, seeing that it was getting late, Li Mengxi turned around and left.

Behind him, Zhang Jiao watched Li Mengxi go away and stood for a long time.

Li Mengxi walked out of the Yellow Turban Army camp. As soon as he left the camp, he saw Liu Bei waiting outside for an unknown amount of time.

Out of politeness, Li Mengxi ran over quickly.

Seeing Li Mengxi running over, Liu Bei glanced at the Yellow Turban camp, and out of politeness, looked back at Li Mengxi and smiled, "Xi'er, why did you stay in the Yellow Turban army for so long?"

Li Mengxi said, "Inspect the Yellow Turban Er."

Then he added, "In the Yellow Turban Army, I learned how to count."

Liu Bei was surprised and asked what he got. Li Mengxi smiled and said it wouldn't be too late to talk about it in the evening.

At night, outside Nanluan City, there was a large tent of the Chinese army. Outside the tent, there was the sound of military training. The rebel army was training without stopping day and night.

In the tent, Li Mengxi told him one by one the counting methods he learned from the Yellow Turban Army.

"First, the Yellow Turbans cut wood to make soldiers and raised poles to make flags. Our army is training tens of thousands of new soldiers and there are insufficient weapons. We can also follow the Yellow Turban method, cutting wood and bamboo to make soldiers, thinking that we will be prepared for emergencies. Also, I see

The yellow turban is made of wooden spears and roasted with fire. This strong wooden spear can also be used to prevent corrosion. Our army can also follow this method."

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei deeply believed in this first point.

"Secondly, I saw that the Yellow Turban Army made wooden armor, which was made of hard wood and rope. Although the wooden armor is not as strong as iron armor, it is easy to make. There are tens of thousands of new soldiers in our army. If everyone is equipped with iron armor, the armor will be far away.

If it is not enough, it is better to use wooden armor.

It is not just wooden armor, but can be made from cow bones, pig and sheep bones, or vines and bamboo pieces. Although this kind of armor is not as good as iron armor, it is better than no armor at all."

Secondly, Liu, Guan, and Zhang were slightly surprised. This method is very good.

The third point, Li Mengxi said, "Third, the Yellow Turban Army wears armor made of straw to keep out the cold winter. There are many in our army who have thin clothes, so they can also wear armor made of straw.

Therefore, we should collect all the straw from the army and prepare straw armor as soon as possible."

As soon as the third point came out, Liu Bei was immediately changed.

Regarding clothing to keep out the cold, Liu Bei, like Li Mengxi, tried his best. He might as well have gotten a good way to keep out the cold from Zhang Jiaobu today.

Liu Bei was surprised that the traitor Zhang Jiao could actually help the people.

Last point, Li Mengxi said that the long rafter spear formation is used to resist cavalry. The longer the spear, the better, right?

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei all said that the longer the spear, the better, so that would be fine. There should be some super-long spearmen in the army, those abnormally long spears with a spear length of three to five feet or even longer.

Listening to Li Mengxi's continuous description with gestures, "...this is a long step." Guan Yu couldn't help but said.
