In addition, Li Mengxi estimated the distance by counting the formation flags, which the spearmen relied on for their formation. The distance between the flags was equidistant, so the approximate distance could be obtained directly by counting the number of flags.

In addition, the Zhuozhou Army Spear Formation was dozens of steps away from the main road, and there was a certain distance from the main road. After accounting for this error, and then accounting for the error of the estimate, it was still accurate to about a hundred steps, and the accuracy was simply terrifying.

Huangfu Song led his troops to the middle of the crossroads. He did not immediately order to set up camp, but carefully observed around.

After observing, Huangfusong discovered that the terrain near the crossroads was flat, and the camp could be set up with four roads as the axis, and a very compact circular formation could be formed.

No matter what the Zhuozhou army had planned, they set up camp at the crossroads and reduced their troops, which would benefit the army.

Huangfusong felt relieved and ordered to set up camp.

Besides, why did Li Mengxi remind Huangfu Song to camp at a favorable location? Was it a good intention? Of course not.

Under normal circumstances, it is indeed a good intention to remind the officers and soldiers to camp in advantageous terrain.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But the current situation is special. The special thing is that even if the officers and soldiers camp on advantageous terrain, it will be more advantageous for the Zhuozhou Army.

The intersection was a key node determined by Li Mengxi when he checked the road conditions in advance.

In advance, based on the marching speed of the army and the mileage, there were several key nodes before and after the intersection. Many formation flags were specially reserved around each key node, and deep ditches were dug for branch roads in advance, as well as vehicles.

Formation encirclement.

In other words, the intersection where Huangfu Song went was the center of a powerful encirclement planned by Li Mengxi.

If Huangfu Song wanted to camp in the middle of the road, the army would be encamped in a very long formation. Similarly, if the Zhuozhou Army was encircled outside, the Zhuozhou Army would also be stretched out for a long time and its forces would be dispersed a lot.

If the officers and soldiers break through at night, Zhuozhou's army will be too scattered and it will be difficult to stop them all.

It was wonderful at the crossroads. The officers and soldiers shrank, and the branch roads outside the crossroads were all surrounded by trenches and vehicle formations. The officers and soldiers shrank, which was conducive to the gathering of the Zhuozhou Army, and the officers and soldiers were in the middle of the encirclement.

If the officers and soldiers wanted to break out of the encirclement at night, the Zhuozhou Army would be able to surround them tightly.

Huangfu Song moved his troops to the crossroads, just as Li Mengxi wished.

The official army and the Zhuozhou Army had different desires. Huangfu Song wanted to shrink his troops to prepare for a night attack by the Zhuozhou Army.

The purpose of the Zhuozhou Army was to shrink its troops to prevent the officers and soldiers from escaping during night attacks. As for the night attack on Huangfu Song, Li Mengxi had no plan. Without the plan to attack at night, Huangfu Song would have shrunk his troops and become more difficult to fight.

Yes, it has nothing to do with Li Mengxi.

The two parties have different purposes.

So the officers and soldiers arrived at the crossroads, just as Huangfu Song wished, and so did Li Mengxi.
