Therefore, if Huangfu Song sent infantry to break out of the siege and seek help elsewhere, he would be miscalculated.

Only when sending cavalry, Huangfu Song had a 10 to 20% chance of winning, and the cavalry had a 10 to 20% chance of successfully breaking through.

Therefore, guarding against the enemy's scattered elite cavalry is actually a defense against the enemy's scattered elite cavalry.

Li Mengxi thought of the method of using cavalry to control cavalry, "order our cavalry to be divided into teams of ten and five in each round, and take over in rotation. After these ten-man cavalry teams were dispersed in the car formation, they were stationed steadily, but there were scattered officers and soldiers.

The cavalry rushes out, and the ten cavalry stationed here are enough to strangle them."

Speaking of this section, Li Mengxi suddenly frowned. He suddenly felt that this defensive car formation looked so much like defending a city wall.

The same goes for defending the city wall. If someone from the enemy forces climbs a certain section of the city wall, there must be counterpoint support at this time.

When defending a city, point support is the reserve force in the city.

In the guard formation, there is a small cavalry station.

Among them, there is another key point. The defense of the city must be in an orderly manner, and there must be no mistakes like "the tiger has left the mountain before the enemy arrives".

That is, if the enemy troops board the city at a certain section of the city wall, soldiers from other adjacent city wall sections and other city wall sections must not rush over in a hurry, because in this case, it is very likely that the gourd will be pressed down and the gourd will be lifted up again to save somewhere.

People flocked to the city, leaving the city empty and leaving more holes in the city.

At that time, the rebel army captured the first small town, Wen'an County.

When deducing the offensive and defensive tactics at that time, what came to mind was that the battlements could be divided into groups of defenders according to the battlements. One or several battlements were divided into groups of people, and then these groups of people could only guard one or a few groups.

There is no need to rescue a battlement if there is danger elsewhere. As for the rescue, it can only be rescued unless there is an order from the commander-in-chief of the city head such as a centurion or even a thousand captain.

As a result, the city can be defended in an orderly manner without chaos or the risk of causing the tiger to flee the mountain.

Li Mengxi suddenly realized that he could also divide the vehicle formation into sections and assign them to each garrisoned cavalry team.

If an enemy comes to kill in a certain section, it is your duty to chase and kill them. Only the cavalry is stationed here, and there is no need to move lightly in other sections, in case just one cavalry rushes out, and dozens or hundreds of cavalry chase them away, and the enemy forces the tiger to leave the mountain.

plan.

Therefore, the car formation should be divided into subdivided parts, and flags can be used to mark the garrison boundaries of each cavalry team.

At this point, Li Mengxi was wondering why the city defense tactics could be used in the caboose formation? Could it be that this cab formation was also an engineering defense building?

Li Mengxi turned his head and looked at the car formation a dozen steps away. He was extremely confused.

Then, when I thought about it, it seemed like car arrays, camel cities and so on... people have named it camel city, it must be the same as a city.

Obviously. This car array is really like an extremely crude city wall.

Thinking of this, Li Mengxi realized something. Since the chariot formation is like a weakened city, wouldn't the city defense tactics also be used to guard the chariot formation?

Li Mengxi's thoughts were racing, and he went through many city defense tactics that he had studied and summarized one by one.

He thought, [Each battlement is equipped with one archer and one crossbowman. The crossbows are powerful and can wear heavy armor. The bows shoot quickly and react quickly.

The two work together to increase the fault tolerance rate.】

Well... when the crossbowmen are distributed everywhere, one crossbowman and one archer can be assigned after each vehicle.

When defending the city, [Alternately lean forward and shoot].

It doesn't seem to be used.

When defending the city, the space on the city wall is narrow, so when shooting, two shooters on the same battlement should shoot alternately. If one person does not shoot, the other person will definitely not shoot. This is a way to improve efficiency and reduce mistakes. However,

When in the caboose formation, there is plenty of space in the formation, and the shooters do not affect each other and do not need to shoot alternately.

In the same way, the method of [four people passing three crossbows] to speed up the firing frequency and reduce the chaos caused by people moving around is not applicable to the caboose formation.

[Concentrated fire attack, the killing efficiency is far better than scattering] [Archers use the Dysprosium to focus fire], both of these methods can be used in the caboose formation. However, the Akabane Dysprosium arrows used by the Archers are not used in the army, so they cannot be used.

.Concentrated fire attack cannot be used because the encirclement is too large and the bows and crossbows are insufficient and scattered.

When defending the city, forks are also used to push the siege ladder. In the caboose formation, the enemy will not bring the ladder over, so there is no need for forks. However, it seems that very long bamboos can be used to sweep away interference.

Enemy troops approaching the vehicle formation...

Also, when attacking a city, only advance but not retreat.

When defending the city, the enemy should be unable to advance even an inch in the caboose formation. To defend the city in a caboose formation, and to suddenly overturn and rush out, is also a sharp defensive method. This is a defensive counterattack method.

Another defensive counterattack method is for the cavalry to suddenly rush out of the city gate and attack the city. In the caboose formation, the fine cavalry can be kept on standby. In case of crisis, the cavalry will suddenly rush in and attack the enemy, causing chaos.

To defend the city, there is also fire. To abide by the law, use fire...

Thinking of fire, Li Mengxi's eyes suddenly widened. He suddenly turned his head to look at the car formation. He saw that the rebel car formation was really powerful. The carts faced each other end to end and were connected with ropes. It was really like a chain of iron chains.

However, the cart is made of wood and is flammable, and the rope is also made of wood and is flammable. It looks like the boat is on fire.

If the army launches a rocket attack...

Li Mengxi was very vigilant.

Then I thought again, it was just a rocket that was too slow to ignite the fire. Here, an arrow was nailed to the cart, and the soldiers in the caboose formation over there immediately hit it twice with their guns and extinguished the fire.

But... what if the army ordered the dead soldiers to hold bundles of firewood and roll them under the car? When the battle was fierce, they fought with the enemy and ignored them. There would be no time to control the fire, which was not threatening for a while.

Then, once the fire gets bigger, it spreads rapidly along the cart and along the rope, and it becomes a conflagration.

If the officers and soldiers really attack the formation in this way, Li Mengxi feels that it will not be easy to deal with.

Either the rope in the middle of the vehicle is cut off to greatly reduce the possibility of a fire engulfing the vehicle. However, in this case, the defensive and blocking capabilities of the vehicle formation will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Dilemma of choice.

After thinking for a moment, Li Mengxi frowned.

Although the chariot formation has this flaw, it is not an siege or a stalemate for several days and a half. One side has enough time to burn the equipment. If the official army attacks the chariot formation, as long as he dares to attack, the Zhuozhou army will attack from all sides and encircle it.

Next, can his army last for half an hour? If they can't last half an hour, they will be defeated. The army has been defeated, and even if the fire slowly burns the car array, what's the use?

Fire breaks through the vehicle formation, which is theoretically useful.

However, it should be noted that if you raise a bunch of wood-gnawing insects and then release them to bite the car array, you can theoretically eat the car array into a pile of sawdust. However, in practice, it is almost impossible to operate.

Although the operation of breaking through the vehicle formation with fire may be slightly difficult, considering the actual situation of both sides in the current confrontation, the success rate of the officers and soldiers using fire to break through the formation is extremely small. It is more likely that the officers and soldiers will be defeated before the fire starts.

However, no matter how small the possibility is, you still have to be prepared.

Li Mengxi thought of water, but it was difficult to find water and there were not enough containers.

You can use a small amount of water to achieve the effect of a large amount of water.

Having the experience of using linen cloth dipped in yellow mud to block the fire last night, Li Mengxi immediately thought of using linen cloth wet with water. If a fire comes, the wet linen cloth can be swung over, just like a water whip, and the fire extinguishing efficiency should be excellent.

Several carts are equipped with a jar of water. If there is no war, drinking water will be provided. If there is war, the water can be used to extinguish fires.
