The Zhuozhou Army used a plot of land as a prison, which defeated Huangfu Song's plan to disrupt and mobilize the Zhuozhou Army and exhaust the Zhuozhou Army.

Seeing that the strategy of raiding and harassing was no longer effective, and seeing that the Zhuozhou army was training endlessly and advancing vigorously, Huangfu Song also ordered the officers and soldiers to go out of the stronghold to practice.

Huangfusong's camp was compact and there was not enough space for training in the camp, but the Zhuozhou Army surrounded outside had enough space to practice their formation. This was another advantage of the Zhuozhou Army over the official army.

Officers, soldiers and soldiers filed out of the camp one by one and formed a formation around the camp.

At the beginning of the army training, along with the drill, the shouts of killing were loud, and the morale was so strong. It seemed that they were deliberately competing with the Zhuozhou Army and had to overwhelm the momentum of the Zhuozhou Army.

The shouts of killing from the officers and soldiers were louder and louder than the others, and they were as fierce as fire.

The Zhuozhou Army was exactly the opposite. The Zhuozhou Army was training peacefully. They just stood there in formation, motionless, and didn't even give many commands.

One is as fierce as fire, the other is as quiet as death, they are two completely opposite extremes.

Different officers and generals have different opinions. Some people may think that the morale of the officers and soldiers is high, and their shouts of killing are so loud that they can overwhelm the Zhuozhou Army who can't even shout to kill. Some experienced officers and generals,

They believe that the officers and soldiers are like fire, which corresponds to the "invasion and plundering like fire" in the art of war, while the Zhuozhou army is silent and motionless, which is "motionless as a mountain". These more experienced officers and army generals think that

The official army and the Zhuozhou army each had their own victories.

Because the officers and soldiers shouted to kill Zhentian during drills, the morale of the officers and soldiers underwent subtle changes.

The officers and soldiers who were originally a little afraid of the Zhuozhou Army became more courageous with the shouts and screams of the Zhuozhou Army. When the generals saw that the Zhuozhou Army was quiet, they would not look down on the Zhuozhou Army, thinking that the Zhuozhou Army was unbearable, but ordinary soldiers

Most people think that whoever has a louder voice will appear more powerful.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers shouted to kill Zhentian, and saw that the Zhuozhou army was quiet. Therefore, the officers and soldiers mistakenly thought that the Zhuozhou army was nothing more than this, and they no longer feared the encirclement of the Zhuozhou army.

Li Mengxi lay sleeping next to a cart. No matter how noisy the sounds of military training were, he slept peacefully.

If Li Mengxi was still awake, he would have understood some important points of the art of war.

Surrounded from all sides, the morale of the officers and soldiers was very low. However, they just went out to practice for a while, and the loud shouts of killing amidst the concerted efforts aroused the courage of the officers and soldiers.

Just shouting to kill for a while turned an army with low morale into an army with high morale.

Li Mengxi once knew that the method of frightening the enemy was to control the five senses. He also knew that the method of frightening the enemy was the method of motivating the crowd.

However, although he knew the essence, he did not know all the subtle uses.

When two armies confront each other, all factors such as strength, training, armor, etc. are equal. If one side is silent and the other side shouts to kill, the morale of the other side will be excited, but if the side is silent, the soldiers in the formation will be frightened by the opponent's loud shouts of killing.

Morale is a little low.

As a result, the morale of one side is high and the morale of the other side is low. One side goes back and forth, and the other side waxes and wanes, which can be the key to victory or defeat.

Therefore, in battle, there must be a cry to kill, and the cry to kill can greatly boost morale.

Even, to put it exaggeratedly, whether the cry to kill is loud or soft is an important condition for judging the outcome.

If our shouts of killing are suppressed by the enemy, it is most likely that either the enemy has more troops than ours and we have fewer troops; or the enemy has sufficient physical strength and is waiting to move the well-fed army, while our army is depleted of food and fodder.

It doesn't help that the soldiers are hungry and exhausted; or the enemy army is well-trained, and ten thousand people roar together, which is also ten thousand people, and ten thousand people are one, but our army's shouts of killing are messy, and some people shout and some don't shout. Therefore, it can be seen that

It seems that the shouts of killing were just suppressed by the enemy. In fact, the enemy's training level exceeded ours.

Or, the enemy is going with the wind and our army is against the wind. The enemy's shouting to kill is amplified by the wind, but our army's shouting to kill is attenuated by the wind. It seems that our army's shouting to kill is just quiet because of the wind resistance. It seems insignificant.

In fact, because the enemy has the upper hand, the range of the enemy's bows and arrows is greatly increased, while the range of our bows and arrows is greatly reduced, and the battle situation is very unfavorable to us. Even if both sides have no long-range weapons regardless of bows and arrows, it is just a hand-to-hand fight, and the tailwind and headwind are still important. Both sides are important.

Fighting in front of the military formation, everyone is pushing forward, the wind blows from the back, and the wind blows from the face. For a while, the difference is not visible, but as time goes by, there will be a big difference. Fighting against the wind, physical strength

The cumulative consumption is much greater than fighting with the wind.

Our army's shouts of killing were suppressed by the enemy. It may also be that our army was surrounded, and the enemy's shouts of killing were concentrated in the middle, forming a superposition of sound energy, while our army's shouts of kill were scattered to all directions, and the sound was dispersed.

Therefore, whenever our army's shouts of killing are suppressed by the enemy's army, it is most likely that the enemy's army is more numerous than ours, the enemy's army is well fed, our army is weak, the enemy's army is better trained than our army, and the enemy's army is at the upper hand.

, encirclement by enemy troops is most likely one of the situations.

However, no matter whether the enemy army is large in number, or the enemy army is strong, or the enemy army is better trained than our army, or the enemy army is upwind, or the enemy army is encircled, no matter which situation, the possibility of our army's defeat is

More than half of them.

When the ancients used troops, they had a method of observing the situation, and sound momentum was also momentum.

When encountering a battle, you may wish to first judge whether the enemy's or our own's shouts of killing are louder or lower. If our army's shouts of killing can overwhelm the enemy's, there is no doubt that our army has a 60% chance of victory.

In the same way, if our army's shouting to kill is overwhelmed by the enemy's army as soon as the war begins, it is likely that the enemy's army either has more people than our army, or the enemy's army is in better condition than our army, or the enemy's army is highly trained, or the enemy's army occupies a large area.

Upwind, if you know a little bit and see that our army's shouts of killing are suppressed, then the probability of our army's defeat is at least 60%.

——

There is a saying in the art of war: one will make you strong, then the second will weaken, and the third will be exhausted.

The officers and soldiers came out of the stronghold to practice. At the beginning, the momentum was very majestic.

However, as the drill of the officers and soldiers continued, the shouts of kills from the officers and soldiers became smaller and smaller, and the momentum of the officers and soldiers gradually declined, but the shouts of kills were still there.

The Zhuozhou Army wanted to use the entire half day to train troops, and so did the officers and soldiers.

Time passed moment by moment, and the shouts of killing officers and soldiers during drills never stopped.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At some point, the shouts of killing suddenly stopped.

Li Mengxi, who was sleeping deeply while lying on the door panel, suddenly moved with his closed eyes.

When the shouts of killing continued, Li Mengxi was sleeping deeply, but suddenly it became quiet, and he woke up with a start, which was strange.

When I opened my eyes, it was pitch black.

Li Mengxi took off the quilt covering his body and stood up. He looked around at the dark surroundings and it was about to get dark. He scratched his head and wondered if he had slept all day.

Standing there, thinking about what to do next.

Next, we need to see how well the trenches are being dug, how well the soldiers have practiced holding and firing their guns after a day of training, and we need to ask the officers and soldiers whether they have crossed the line, and whether any conflicts have broken out between the two sides.

Probably these.

As soon as he woke up and opened his eyes, Li Mengxi found a lot of work for himself. He raised his feet and left, intending to see the trench first. After only taking two steps, Li Mengxi suddenly realized that the most important thing was

That's not all. The most important thing is to find my brother.

So, Li Mengxi ignored the military affairs and went to the Women's and Children's Camp to find his younger brother Xiao Zhuan. Then he took Xiao Bian and waited in the Women's and Children's Camp for dinner.

At night, after dinner, Li Mengxi took his younger brother Xiaozhuan around.

They went to see the trench together to see how deep it was.

It was dark and the light was not good, so I walked to the trench with a torch and walked around to take a look. I found that the trenches dug day by day were in compliance with the standards. The trenches were one person deep and one person wide, and the length was very long.

On one side of the trench, there is a low slope of earth piled up, but on the other side there is none.

Looking at the bottom of the trench, Li Mengxi found that the trench was dug in a slope shape instead of straight up and down. Although the slope-shaped trench was convenient for civilians to get up and down, and the amount of work was smaller, there was a slope and it was easy for the enemy to escape from the trench.

Rush up.

It should be a deep, right-angled pit that goes straight up and down, giving the enemy no chance to climb.

Li Mengxi realized that this was an oversight, and he should tighten the trenching regulations tomorrow.

Calculating the progress of the project, we can dig a deep trench as wide as one person in one day, and more than one and a half feet wide in three days. This is only the result of the day, not including the work at night.

If you dig trenches day and night, all night long, you can dig a trench three feet deep and three feet wide in three days.

The huge trench, which is three feet wide, is difficult for cavalry to cross.

Moreover, the trench is not only a trench, but also a slope of earth that is at least one person high, which is another advantageous location.

After looking at the ditch, Li Mengxi picked up his younger brother who insisted on jumping into the ditch to play, and the two of them went to find Liu Bei.

Beside the bonfire, Liu Bei and Guan Zhang were all present.

When Li Mengxi arrived, he first talked about the trench.

"The ditch must be straight.

Also, today, the trench is only as wide as one person, and the civilians can dig out the soil and dump it with a shovel. Tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, the trench will be wider, and the soil cannot be dumped on both sides. The two sides of the trench are far apart, so someone must transport the soil.

The baskets and baskets required for loading soil need to be prepared in advance.”

Li Mengxi mentioned the basket, and Liu Bei nodded and said it was a simple matter and he would collect it early tomorrow morning.

Liu Bei acted like a rich man. For a project involving tens of thousands of people, he needed baskets and baskets. He didn't know how many they would get, but it was probably a few thousand. Liu Bei didn't worry about not having enough baskets at all, and he said without hesitation that they could be raised tomorrow.

This is another manifestation of the strong logistical capabilities of the rebels.

In the Zhuozhou army, people began to weave baskets very early. At first, the baskets and baskets were used as a supplement to the straw sandals, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people. Later, when Guan Yu's troops needed to carry tools, they

More baskets are needed.

Therefore, the production of baskets, baskets, etc. became an important production task for the army.

Later, fishing teams were established, and the fishing teams packed the fish and fish offal, all of which required containers such as baskets.

This in turn prompted the caravans to deliberately purchase baskets, or purchase vines and bamboos used to make baskets.

In order to increase the enthusiasm of the people, to make portable tools, and to facilitate the fishing team to hold fish, the baskets and baskets were made and purchased on a large scale for these things. Unexpectedly, they played a major role now when major projects were needed.

After talking about the trench, Li Mengxi asked again whether the officers and soldiers had crossed the border or had conflicts during the day.

"Nothing." Liu Bei said, "The officers and soldiers have not crossed the flag."
