Tightly sealed, surrounded by iron barrels, and calculated step by step, these three words are adjectives elsewhere, describing a tight encirclement and a thorough calculation.

It is an adjective elsewhere, but in Li Mengxi's case, it is clearly a descriptor.

Calculate step by step, every step is really measured with a rope, every step is considered in detail, the encirclement is really like an iron bucket, not to mention a flaw, there is not even a connecting gap that is more than one step.

Zhang Jiao didn't know what to say. Li Mengxi's formation method was exquisite and meticulous, beyond Zhang Jiao's imagination.

As for Li Mengxi, he said that the tight encirclement could only last for one day, or at most one and a half days. After one and a half days, the follow-up arrangements would not be able to keep up.

Regarding the difficulties Li Mengxi encountered, Zhang Jiao could not say that there was a problem with Li Mengxi's formation method. It would definitely be slow to measure step by step with a rope. If you measure roughly, you can double it and you can lay an ambush forty miles in a day.

Zhang Jiao knew what Li Mengxi's problem was, but Zhang Jiao didn't feel that Li Mengxi's approach was wrong. In fact, Zhang Jiao felt that Li Mengxi's formation method and step-by-step calculation were a true ambush from all sides, with no flaws.

Regarding the difficulties Li Mengxi encountered, the problem was that the speed of the pre-arranged encirclement could not keep up with the marching speed of the army. The encirclement could only be encircled for one day, and after one day, the encirclement would be loosened.

Zhang Jiao thought seriously.

Li Mengxi was also thinking.

Quiet and quiet.

After a long time, Zhang Jiao had some thoughts.

Looking at Li Mengxi, Zhang Jiao asked, "If we can only encircle the enemy in one day, what will the young master do next?"

Li Mengxi pondered for a moment and replied, "The only thing is, try your best.

Although the road ahead has not been laid out in advance, if we lead thousands of soldiers forward and take the lead step by step, we can still form an encirclement."

What Li Mengxi thought was that if a tight encirclement could not be achieved, then the best thing to do was to retreat. As long as the encirclement could be achieved, even if it was a loose encirclement, even if it was a hasty encirclement full of flaws, it would still be an encirclement.

No matter how loose the encirclement is, it is still an encirclement and will still have a powerful deterrent effect.

Zhang Jiao thought about Li Mengxi's response, looked at Li Mengxi calmly, and said, "This is inappropriate."

Seeing Li Mengxi looking over, Zhang Jiao continued, "With the master's method of setting up the formation, for the first forty miles, the encirclement was complete and the formation was orderly and compelling.

But forty miles later, all the pre-arranged arrangements were gone, and the formation suddenly fell into disarray. Even though it could still be encircled, the front and rear were completely different. This was a sign of weakness.

The officers and soldiers marched forty miles, but they were forced by the Zhuozhou Army to consolidate their position and did not dare to move rashly; then suddenly they saw that the Zhuozhou Army's position was in a mess, how could you know that the officers and soldiers would not start a counterattack because of this?"

"The encirclement force is first dispersed and then dispersed as well, which can intimidate the officers and soldiers.

Chaos first and rectification later can especially deter the officers and soldiers.

It can be done by straightening first and then straightening later.

But if we rectify the situation first and then cause chaos, then when the officers and soldiers see that the Zhuozhou army is in decline, their fighting spirit will be aroused and they will not be able to control it."

Hearing Zhang Jiao's words, Li Mengxi couldn't help but frown.

Zhang Jiao continued to point out, "It might as well be to retreat in order to advance.

Use the method of hiding weakness.

Forty miles behind, the encirclement cannot be tight, and the officers and soldiers will see that they are scattered and their morale will be aroused.

Then simply withdraw and encircle them all.

In this way, when the officers and soldiers see me and do not see a strict encirclement, their morale increases slightly, but when the officers and soldiers see me they are scattered, their morale is limited."

Li Mengxi was confused and looked up at Zhang Jiao, but stopped talking.

If the encirclement is withdrawn, wouldn't there be less control over the officers and soldiers?

Zhang Jiao seemed to know what Li Mengxi was thinking. Looking directly at Li Mengxi, Zhang Jiao said again, "As for after the siege is withdrawn, there will be no threats to the officers and soldiers, so there is no problem.

The formation of ambush from ten sides includes encirclement and ambush.

The Young Master marches forty miles ahead in formation, each step is measurable and delicate. This is an encirclement.

After forty miles, encirclement is no longer possible, so an ambush can be used.

What is an ambush?

Hidden deep and dangerous.

The terrain is dangerous and high, and it is advantageous to ambush heavy troops. If the officers and soldiers act rashly, they can come out to act as a deterrent."

Opposite the young man, Zhang Jiao observed Li Mengxi's words and expressions. Seeing Li Mengxi's expression showing signs of confusion, Zhang Jiao continued to teach, "I know that you don't want to conflict with the officers and soldiers, so the ambush should be based on deterrence, and fighting should be the second priority.

The key to deterrence is to attack the mind."

"...At the forty mile mark, the Zhuozhou Army suddenly withdrew from the encirclement. What would happen to the officers and soldiers? The officers and soldiers would leave in a hurry, eager to get rid of the Zhuozhou Army.

After marching for several miles, the army's morale calmed down a bit. At this time, it was possible for the army to counterattack.

Therefore, we can lay an ambush on the road ahead as a deterrent at this time."

"I asked the young master that the road ahead is long and the terrain is complicated. Most of the Zhuozhou army is behind, so there must not be many soldiers who can ambush. At this time, how can the young master know where the officers and soldiers will be when they arrive?

If you decide to counterattack, where can you place an ambush to intimidate the army?"

The question Zhang Jiao asked was how to ambush with limited troops at the exact place where the army wanted to prepare for battle.

The troops are limited, but there may be too many locations.

There are two methods. One is to disperse the troops as much as possible and leave ambushes at every possible location. In this way, no matter where the officers and soldiers are, there can be ambushes to deter. However, since there are too few ambushes in a single group, it is easy to intimidate.

If you don't succeed, you will show your weakness.

The second method is not to disperse the troops, but to accurately calculate the location where the officers and soldiers will form a counterattack, and all the troops will be ambushed there. This second method is also difficult, and the difficulty lies in "accurate calculation".

Li Mengxi thought hard for a long time and couldn't figure out how to deter him.

Seeing Li Mengxi's behavior, Zhang Jiao added another point, "The key is to intimidate and attack the heart.

There is no need to calculate where the officers and soldiers intend to counterattack. The key is not the officers and soldiers, but me. Wherever I want to be a deterrent, the officers and soldiers must be there to deter."

Li Mengxi was a little confused and vaguely caught something.

"Choose a place to ambush with heavy troops. The place is forty miles behind, after the officers and soldiers break out of the siege.

No matter whether the officers and soldiers have the intention to counterattack or not, when the officers and soldiers arrive at the ambush, the surrounding troops will immediately come out with flags fluttering and shouting to kill, so that the officers and soldiers can see my ambush.

At this time, the officers and soldiers broke away from the encirclement. After walking for several miles without seeing a single soldier of the Zhuozhou Army, they must have thought they had escaped. At this moment, the ambush troops came out and were frightened. This informed the officers and soldiers that they should break out of the encirclement and advance forward

The road is still full of ambush.

After this, even though there was no ambush on the road ahead, the officers and soldiers thought there was an ambush and did not dare to act rashly.

If you lay an ambush every few miles and surprise them every now and then, the effect of attacking the mind will be even better.
