Chapter 626: Training again (1)
Reviewing the entire battle between the army and the famous Han general Huangfu Song, the extremely young Li Mengxi can be said to have performed exceptionally and used his troops brilliantly.
A question, hypothetically, could a junior high school or high school student who didn't know much about war be able to command an army of 100,000 in ancient times?
The answer is, under extreme conditions, it is possible.
High school students are unable to command thousands of troops, but if they use the stupidest method, leading ten people at a time and personally taking them to their reserved positions, then as long as there is enough time, they can arrange ten people at one time, hundreds of people ten times, or hundreds of people.
A thousand times a thousand people, a thousand times ten thousand people, a hundred thousand times a hundred thousand people.
As long as ten people can be mobilized calmly, and as long as there is enough time, in this extreme situation, even a pair of high school students with no war experience can successfully form an army against a hundred thousand troops.
If the enemy troops are not dead, why would they allow you to slowly move your troops around like ants moving things?
However, Huangfu Song is really a dead man...
On the first night of the confrontation with the government troops, Huangfu Song first wanted to send troops to attack the Zhuozhou Army at night, but was ambushed by the Zhuozhou Army and lost more than two hundred cavalry. After that, Huangfu Song, who became frightened, closed the camp tightly and did not dare to go out again.
So that night, under the cover of darkness, Huangfu Song was really a dead man as far as the Zhuozhou Army was concerned.
How did Li Mengxi arrange his troops all night long? He did it quietly at night, hundreds at a time, several hundred at a time. After working all night, he was able to arrange the encirclement of 100,000 people.
.
Therefore, even a high school student can command thousands of troops under extreme circumstances. Although a high school student cannot command tens of thousands of troops in a moment, he can command ten or hundreds of people at a time.
As long as there is enough time, if the time can be used a thousand times more than that of the opponent, then an ordinary high school student can also arrange a hundred thousand people into a decent formation, let alone arranging a hundred thousand people like an ant stumbling over an elephant.
How long, but this possibility exists.
What a miraculous effect that can only be achieved under extreme conditions. However, Li Mengxi happened to encounter this extreme condition that is unique in ten thousand, and he happened to have enough time to complete the simple and impossible task of setting up the battle array.
Task.
If we say that a battle battle requires the formation to be set up, the enemy is not a dead thing, nor does it have to stand still. If it takes a whole night to set up the formation, then the enemy will attack and the formation cannot change.
, wouldn’t it still be defeated?
May I ask Huangfu Song? One hundred thousand troops surrounded Huangfu Song's camp overnight. How dare Huangfu Song act rashly?
Huangfu Song did not dare to act rashly and could only persist in the confrontation in an attempt to change the situation. If Huangfu Song did not move, then Huangfu Song would be dead.
As a result, the Zhuozhou Army spent a night just barely getting into position, and there was no need for changes.
A formation that can only deal with dead men cannot be changed. When the enemy becomes a "dead man", it is a foolproof formation.
Taking advantage of the extreme opportunity, Li Mengxi, a young man who was not yet proficient in formation strategies and far from capable of commanding battles, took advantage of the situation and overwhelmed Huangfu Song, suppressing the veteran Huangfu Song at every step.
There is a saying in the art of war, "Defend the country with integrity, use troops with surprise, plan first and then fight, take into account the situation, take into account the yin and yang, and use skills." This is the person who plans military power.
Although Li Mengxi is very immature now, he already has the ability to take advantage of the situation to win, and his prowess has been revealed.
It was getting dark when Li Mengxi and Guan Yu went to patrol the camp.
When you go to the [Hercules] Camp, you can see the bright yellow [Hercules] Camp flag standing in mid-air from a long way away. The flag is very eye-catching.
When they arrived at the Lishi Camp, the yellow scarf warriors were still cracking firewood. All the hard firewood of the whole army was handed over to the Lishi Camp. If the firewood is not cracked for more than half a month, it will definitely not be finished.
Camp Lux now has an independent camp, its own camp flag, and an independent organization. Just a few days later, the people of Camp Lux spontaneously built a low wall with snow around the camp. What do they think?
It is not clear whether it is the self-consciousness of being a higher-level civilian husband and the differentiation from the civilian husband, or the formation of team consciousness.
In short, the cohesion of the Lux Camp is obviously getting stronger.
After leaving the Lux Camp, Li Mengxi looked back.
He raised his head and said to Guan Yu, "General Guan, since we were stationed in Julu City, our army has not practiced for nearly half a month, right?"
Guan Yu stopped for a moment, "It's been more than half a month." Guan Yu returned.
Li Mengxi also stopped and said, "It's been more than half a month. If we can practice hard for more than half a month, our army will be a few percent closer to being an elite soldier."
After that, Li Mengxi looked at the snow houses on both sides of the road, and said again, "Now that we have the snow houses, everyone can settle down a little. Let's start training again."
Today is winter, and there is nothing to do in winter, so it is a good time to practice. After training for a month, by next spring, our army's combat strength will be even stronger. By then, even if there is another monstrous war, there is nothing to fear!"
Li Mengxi knew very well that military strength was the key to whether he could gain a foothold in Julu, and even more so to strive for world supremacy. He also knew very well that it was impossible to achieve a thousand miles without taking small steps. A good army cannot be achieved in a short time, so he must work hard early and start early.
If you plan every day, you will have good soldiers and you will be able to accomplish it as soon as possible.
Guan Yu thought for a moment, then looked down at Li Mengxi and asked, "Xi'er, if you are training troops, are you also training formations?"
One sentence stunned Li Mengxi.
"Uh," Li Mengxi scratched his head, "I'm still practicing formation."
It's not that he still practices formations, it's that Li Mengxi only knows how to practice formations, and he doesn't know any other training methods at all.
Fortunately, judging from the practice since the Yellow Turbans, queue training is extremely effective in honing organization and discipline.
Relying solely on queue training, during the Yellow Turban campaign, a barely organized army of 100,000 people was developed, which is incredible.
Therefore, before he knew about other training methods, Li Mengxi felt that it was good to continue practicing the formation and standing in the military posture. Another month of formation training was not too much.
On the way back to the city, Guan Yu and Li Mengxi discussed tomorrow's military training.
We have to train tomorrow, and we definitely can’t train the whole army. Due to the weather, if we are exposed outside for too long, we will easily get frostbite. Also, after the pottery kiln is built, we still need a lot of hands to make the clay embryos. We are short of firewood now, so we don’t necessarily have to do it.
The kiln will be opened immediately, but the clay embryos can be prepared and stored first. When the kiln is opened next year, mass production can be started quickly, so some manpower must be busy with production.
Considering that training is a matter of training, it is best to train every day so as to maintain the training effect. If you don't train for one day, your discipline will decline.
Therefore, after taking everything into consideration, Li Mengxi felt that training could be conducted separately to ensure that each of the 150,000 people in the army, except women, children, the elderly and the weak, could train for one or two hours a day.
Li Mengxi specifically mentioned the Lux Battalion and the old Yellow Turban soldiers. Although the Yellow Turban elites may have greater combat power than ordinary civilians, the Yellow Turbans' military regulations and discipline are completely different from those of the rebels. Therefore, Li Mengxi suggested that Guan Yu train the old Yellow Turban soldiers in queues.
