Li Mengxi fell into thinking and remained motionless, like a piece of wood.

Seeing Li Mengxi thinking, Liu Guanzhang did not disturb him and waited for him quietly.

After a long time, Li Mengxi came back to his senses and suddenly realized where he was.

After scratching his head, Li Mengxi looked at Guan Yu and asked, "In three or two days, our army will use the flying geese formation to deter the army?"

Guan Yu nodded, "Use the flying geese formation."

Li Mengxi hesitated, "But our cavalry does not have an advantage over the official army..."

This is the biggest problem. The flying goose formation requires many circuitous routes, and the cavalry has strong mobility, so it is the best choice for the flying goose formation.

If infantry is used, and the infantry pursues the movement of the enemy's two flanks, if the Zhuozhou army is strong and strong, it will be fine even if it does not move in disorder.

But now, although the Zhuozhou Army can fight with many times the strength of the official army, a large part of it can only form a line and fight on the move, and it will not last long before it becomes a mess.

Li Mengxi pointed out the problem directly, and the atmosphere became silent again.

Guan Yu frowned, Liu Bei glanced back and forth between Guan Yu and Li Mengxi, and Zhang Fei stared at this and that, as if he didn't intend to participate in the discussion.

After a long time, Guan Yu said, "How about the combined force of foot and cavalry?"

Li Mengxi shook his head, "The foot formation is inappropriate. It is extremely difficult to follow the foot formation for two or three miles without causing chaos. Any further away will lead to chaos, and it is difficult to serve as a deterrent."

At this point, it seems to be stuck.

Guan Yu thought over the formation strategy, but could not find a tactic that could deter the army with a lot of cavalry with limited cavalry.

After a long time, Li Mengxi said, "If tactics are not good, how about strategy..."

Li Mengxi's voice was so low that Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei didn't hear him clearly. Unexpectedly, one sentence woke up Li Mengxi himself.

strategy……

What is strategy, large-level operational planning.

The difficulty encountered by the rebels is that even if the cavalry is used in flying geese formation, the number of cavalry does not have an absolute advantage over the official army, and the deterrence is not strong. However, even if the infantry is used to cooperate, the infantry can only maintain a short-term deterrent in mobile operations, and will eventually become self-defeating.

chaos.

The key lies in the infantry. Although the Zhuozhou Army's cavalry has begun to take shape, it is not enough to become the key to victory.

The problem is that infantry is not capable of long-term mobile operations.

(Since you can't move and fight, how about not moving...) Li Mengxi was thoughtful, and suddenly felt that he had caught something vaguely.

Inspiration came suddenly at this moment.

Li Mengxi raised his head violently, his eyes shining, "I have a method!

We can make the infantry formation, or 2,001 teams, or 3,001 teams, be stationed at key points on the terrain ahead of the officers and soldiers. In this way, every time the officers and soldiers take a step forward, all the advantageous terrain will be occupied by us. Every step forward, they will be everywhere.

controlled.

With this method, our infantry does not need to move urgently, but only needs to wait quietly to defend, so that it can stop the enemy from running away."

As soon as Li Mengxi came up with his countermeasure, Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he began to think seriously about whether it was possible to implement the method of using stillness mentioned by Li Mengxi.

After a while, Guan Yu realized the shortcomings of this method. Guan Yu frowned and said, "The official army has tens of thousands of troops, and its march is delayed for a long time. Although our army has nearly 80,000 combat troops, it is far from enough."

Block the way forward as much as possible."

The core of Li Mengxi's strategy of stopping with silence is still encirclement. The difference is that the encirclement is placed in front of the army and the encirclement is made much larger.

If the military strength is extremely sufficient, with a million troops, they can really spread the encirclement from the end of the avenue to both sides of the avenue for more than ten miles. The officers and soldiers can go more than ten miles and still be surrounded.

However, as Guan Yu said, the Zhuozhou army was insufficient in strength.

Li Mengxi frowned and thought for a long time, and then said, "How about using a roller... and using the layer-by-layer relay method?

Although our troops are not strong enough to spread out too far along the road, we can encircle them along the road and be long enough to surpass the official army's marching column.

When the marching army of the officers and soldiers passed by, the last of our troops formed an infantry formation and rushed to the front to attack.

Elsewhere, the rest of the infantry formations are still waiting to be defended and deterred, and remain undisturbed. In the rear column, the officers and soldiers have already retreated, and the rear column is free from the formation, charging hastily and causing chaos, but it can be rectified safely.

The last team goes to the front, and continues to the front team, and then, the next team comes to the front, and then continues to the front.

If we continue like this step by step, our army will be able to form a continuous force with limited strength."

Guan Yu's eyes suddenly widened, Liu Bei also looked thoughtful, Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he raised his hand to scratch his messy beard.

Just after listening to what Li Mengxi said, Guan Yu knew that Li Mengxi's continuous battle method was definitely applicable.

After Guan Yu thought about it carefully, he added, "There are still some shortcomings in this. If the officers and soldiers move, my rear troops will move forward, and they will not be able to move faster than the officers and soldiers."

Moreover, if the rear formation rushes forward in a hurry, it will cause chaos, and it will take a lot of time to reorganize the formation.

The previous and subsequent methods can be used, but they are not very reliable."

After saying that, Guan Yu twirled his long beard with his hand, frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "Moreover, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are divided into dozens of teams. These dozens of teams, coupled with the complex terrain and complicated changes, the soldiers

How do you know where to go?

How do you know where to stand?"

After Guan Yu's two questions, Li Mengxi also felt that the huge military strength, the extremely broad and long road ahead, the extremely complex terrain, and the shockingly many changes in the army made it such a huge project.

Li Mengxi said, "Maybe we can take one step ahead of the officers and soldiers to find out the road conditions and terrain ahead, how long it is, how many troops are deployed, how long the array is horizontally, and calculate them one by one first.

In this way, our army can be several steps ahead of the enemy and seize favorable and key terrain early."

As he spoke, Li Mengxi suddenly looked at Guan Yu and asked, "General Guan, are you familiar with the terrain here?"

Guan Yu paused, "I don't know."

Then, Guan Yu said again, "You can use scouts to explore it, or you can find local people to ask."

With this sentence in mind, Li Mengxi asked the local villagers and laughed, "Why bother? You know Julu County well and know everything about Julu County. Isn't that Zhang Jiao?"

Wait a moment, I invite Zhang Jiao to come and discuss it!"

With that said, Li Mengxi stood up and left.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang watched Li Mengxi leave and had no intention of going together.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang were very reluctant to come into contact with Zhang Jiao.

——

Li Mengxi went to Zhang Jiao's camp late at night and met with Zhang Jiao.

Upon seeing Zhang Jue, Li Mengxi immediately explained his intention and invited Zhang Jue to discuss the military situation.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Jiao hesitated for a moment, and asked, what is the military situation?

Zhang Jiao was also reluctant to contact Liu Guan and Zhang.

Li Mengxi didn't realize the subtlety of this, so he briefly told Zhang Jiao about the enemy's and our military situation.

"Our army is unwilling to fight Huangfu Song, so we can only force him to retreat.

Nowadays, it is inevitable that Huangfu Song will be surrounded by car formations and deep trenches will be built every day, forcing Huangfu Song to retreat.

But later, if Huangfu Song is unable to retreat and still confronts our army, our army will be running out of food and grass and cannot hold out for long, and we will be in a dilemma.

Therefore, after forcing Huangfu Song away, it was also necessary to intimidate the officers and soldiers so that they would retreat and not dare to move lightly along the way.

A certain way of thinking, stopping with stillness, and following the previous method of continuous fighting..."

Li Mengxi briefly told Zhang Jiao how to maintain an absolute deterrent to the officers and soldiers by alternating movement and stillness while the officers and soldiers were marching and in motion.

Li Mengxi didn't notice. Zhang Jiao had a subtle look in his eyes after listening to Li Mengxi's tactics.

Li Mengxi continued to state the military situation, "The key difficulties are: firstly, it is too difficult to coordinate the various departments with a huge force; secondly, our army is not familiar with the geography of Julu; thirdly, even if we know the Julu territory, how to cleverly arrange it, how to be a deterrent at all times

It is another difficulty for the officers and soldiers to exploit the weak points of the officers and soldiers."

Li Mengxi said with a headache.

Zhang Jiao already knew the military situation in detail and the strategy for the next few days. Zhang Jiao thought for a moment, looked at Li Mengxi and said in a deep voice, "No need to talk anymore, I have already made a plan."

Li Mengxi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Jiao in surprise.

——

In the large Yellow Turban tent late at night, Yellow Turban soldiers brought many pieces of cloth. Zhang Jiao then ordered the soldiers to remove the low tables and other debris from the tent and clear the tent.

Then, the people stretched out all the cloths and spread them on the ground one after another until the whole ground was covered.

All around, soldiers with yellow turbans stood in a full circle holding torches, and the tent was illuminated by the light of the torches.

Zhang Jiao kicked off his shoes, picked them up casually, and threw them out of the tent. Then he flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and walked barefoot on the cloth spread on the ground, looking free and easy.

Li Mengxi was puzzled. He was extremely stunned. He opened his eyes and walked a little wider. He walked left, right, right, left, walked in circles, and suddenly turned back.

I saw Zhang Jue walking with his hands clasped behind his back and doing quick calculations with his fingers. Not only was Zhang Jue walking strangely, he was also frowning and thinking as he walked, muttering to himself.

Li Mengxi was stunned, what? Go with the Seven Stars Bagua? Qianli Kankun?

Li Mengxi scratched his head in confusion.

Finally, the embarrassing atmosphere for Li Mengxi ended.
