Li Mao's first visit to Donghai City was to escort and feed the besieging town navy, 1,500 stone grain, 200 armor, and 25,000 feather arrows. At that time, the town navy had been besieging the city for ten days, and the low and dilapidated city wall of the East China Sea was full of feathered arrows fired by the officials, but the city was still standing majestically.

Uncle Zhang's plan to shoot the city down with a bow and arrow was declared bankrupt, and he was organizing a trap army to storm and take the city. The two hundred pieces of armor and twenty-five thousand sticks were borrowed from the Qing navy with IOUs. When the assistant officer was dealing with the town navy, Li Mao took his sword and climbed a dirt mountain, which was temporarily piled up by the town navy in order to capture Donghai City, and was used to observe the battlefield situation.

Li Mao walked over, all the way unimpeded, no one stopped him, standing on the lookout at the top of the mound, the entire battlefield situation was clear at a glance, Li Mao, who had never been through the battle array, could understand why Zhang Shuye had to spend so much manpower and material resources to build such a mountain.

The woods outside the city of the East China Sea were cut down, and they were all used as ladders for attacking the city, and the third bird was not good at using soldiers, which can be seen, and this is not surprising, the third bird is just a pirate leader, commanding a small group of people to rob the house or a good hand, commanding so many people to garrison the city is an authentic layman, as for being able to defend the city for so long, in addition to the town navy is not good at attacking the city and field warfare, there is also the idea that Zhang Shuye has always had the idea of preserving his strength in his heart, and he is unwilling to fight hard.

The dense arrows on the earthen wall are proof of this!

Donghai City can't be attacked for a long time, Mizhou Thorn Shi Li Shidao is like sitting on pins and needles, since the rebellion of the third bird, his brother Li Shigu has not put too much pressure on him, but this does not mean that Li Shigu will easily stop, if Donghai City can not be captured for a long time, the Pinglu army will intervene sooner or later, and once he intervenes, Li Shidao will not even have a chance to struggle.

For this reason, he exerted tremendous pressure on Zhang Shuye, urging the Zhen Navy to take Donghai City as soon as possible. Uncle Zhang was forced to have no way out, so he could only sacrifice his life to fight him.

Two hundred armor suits were quickly distributed to Zhang Shuye's pro-army, this pro-army had about 400 people, well-equipped and well-trained, in Li Mao's opinion, only this pro-army could barely be regarded as a regular army, and the other sergeants, saying that the rabble, would not be convinced, but in fact they were only worthy of these four words.

While the battalion town naval non-commissioned officers were still gathering their ranks in a chaotic manner, the east gate of Donghai City quietly opened. The third bird, who was standing at the head of Donghai City, saw Uncle Zhang put on such a posture and knew that he was being forced to be anxious, so after greeting Uncle Zhang's three generations of women one by one, he decided to make a preemptive strike and launch a surprise attack while the town's navy was not in order.

The north gate opened, and the old three horses took the lead, leading more than ten horsemen and four hundred foot soldiers to shout and kill.

The situation on the battlefield changed abruptly, and the non-commissioned officers of the town navy who were making noise and coaxing the formation, suddenly saw the thieves killed in front of them, shouted, discarded the sword and shield, turned around and ran, and the Yuhou team, who was distributing arrows, was caught off guard, and was defeated by the impulsive formation of the rout, Hulala. Li Mao's heart suddenly rose to his throat, he was standing taller than anyone else at the moment, and he could see it more clearly than anyone else, the seemingly powerful Zhenhai Navy was just like a huge soap bubble, and when he was lightly poked by the third bird, his original form was revealed.

This is a rabble.

At first, he saw that the Qing Navy spent a lot of time training formations on the school ground, and he thought it was very ridiculous, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and it all depends on improvisation, and this is not a military parade, what is the effect of making such a neat formation.

It wasn't until after the civil uprising in Chengwu County that Li Mao understood the importance of the formation, the soldiers of this era, even if they were regular officials, were not trained enough, they were like the staff members who worked in the organs of later generations, and they went home on time. Even during the camp time, they not only trained in killing skills and studied tactics, but most of the time they were engaged in some things that had nothing to do with military affairs, such as helping the commander's house build walls, cutting wheat and planting seedlings, digging ponds to raise lotuses, slaughtering sheep and killing sheep, and other miscellaneous tasks.

Insufficient training, difficulty in commanding on the battlefield, and very primitive means and tools of communication, if a contingent of several hundred or several thousand people does not have a unified formation constraint, it will not be able to form combat effectiveness at all.

As for those improvised patchwork soldiers, they need more constraints in formation.

The advantage of the formation is that it can throw a group of untrained or poorly trained "soldiers" into the battlefield to kill the enemy, but the disadvantage is that once the formation is impulsive, it will cause an avalanche, and the master will not be able to control it at all.

Therefore, the ancients often combined "soldiers" with "potential" to form the word "military potential", the primary task of the general is to identify this potential, control, use this potential, so that it develops in the direction that is beneficial to himself, once the potential is formed, it has its inherent inertia, mortals are powerless to influence, the so-called momentum is like a rainbow, can run through the sun and the moon, when the army is defeated like a mountain, Ren is the reincarnation of the soldier saint can only look at and sigh.

Because he stands tall, he can see far, and because he is outside, he can see more clearly than insiders. When Zhenhai City was defeated like a tide, Li Mao suddenly shuddered, and in an instant, he realized the connotation of the word "soldier".

Except for Zhang Shuye's own army, Zhang Shuye put on this huge formation, the intention was only to test the enemy's reality, attract the enemy's attention, and cover the real main force to attack the city. Zhang Shuye didn't have any hope for this forward tofu army, and only hoped that they could drag on for a while to make a stepping stone for their own pro-army.

But he didn't expect that before the war started, the forward tofu army would be crushed for thousands of miles, not only defeated themselves, but also affected the whole army's position, and it was about to form a situation of total collapse of the whole army.

Uncle Zhang, who was teaching the main force and pro-army, was shocked at night, he had been in the army for many years, and had fought dozens of battles, and he knew very well that the defeat of the army was like a mountain, and once the decline was contagious, even if he had a million male divisions, he could only end up in defeat and death.

Uncle Zhang didn't have time to think about it at night, he drew his knife in his hand, and shouted to kill the thief.

It was Zhang Shuye's pro-army guards who were chosen to besiege the city, numbering about two hundred. These people are the most well-treated, the most well-equipped, most of them have experienced the baptism of the battle array, and Uncle Zhang Ye is both prosperous and lost, understand Zhang Shuye's mood at the moment, and also understand his intentions, they follow behind, shouting forward.

Li Mao stood on the lookout and saw such a strange scene, on the one hand, the advance of the town navy was defeated like the wind blowing the waves, and on the other hand, Zhang Shuye, who was going against the trend. Uncle Zhang was strong against the trend at night, and the victory or defeat was unknown, but this heroic spirit still deeply infected Li Mao, who called Qingmo and ordered the guards to prepare knives and guns.

Qingmo was obviously not optimistic about Zhang Shuye, who was fighting against him, hesitated for a moment, but still dissuaded: "The veteran is arrogant, I'm afraid that I will lose the battle, we are just here to deliver food, and we can't make this troubled water." Besides, just with us people, it's not enough to stuff people's teeth, and if you go, you will die in vain. ”

Li Mao drank Mo Qi's supernatural powers: "You go and give the order." Li Mao glared at Qingmo and said: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the main general must be like an arm to the whole army, so that there is hope for victory." You and I are brothers to brothers, and there are only up and down on the battlefield, how dare you disobey and question? Qingmo was taken aback, and hurriedly apologized: "I was wrong, I won't dare next time." "Busy going down to the earth mountain to prepare for the war.
