Under the auspices of He Mai, the soldiers quickly arranged their formation. As the commander-in-chief, without Wang Mi's request, the leader of the army protected him behind him and moved him to a safe area.
"Everyone stops here, we can't go any further!" Tang Zhang rushed to the front of the team. In order to make up for his mistakes, he was working hard to perform.
"Three feet further, there will be a three-edged nail, brothers, be careful!"
I don't know when the soldiers started shouting without any scruples not far outside Xiangyang City.
But the Di Qin soldiers who should have rushed out of the city long ago and killed them all have yet to make any move.
Doubts flashed through Wang Mi's mind and soon disappeared.
whatever!
We have already reached this stage. Even if the Qin army comes over, he will not be afraid. At worst, he will continue to fight where he is!
According to He Mai's arrangement, the cavalry team took their horses and gradually returned to the back of the queue. The cavalrymen, who had always opened the way in front and galloped, suddenly reached the end of the queue. That feeling was really
Somewhat uncomfortable.
He Mai stood outside the trap and made careful calculations. According to his calculations, this triangular spike array was at least about one mile in size.
In other words, if you want to clear all the three-sided nails in the entire area, you must at least arrange the soldiers according to this width.
For He Mai, this is not difficult.
He selected a team of sixty people and quickly divided the sixty people into twenty groups.
Seeing He Mai's selection and formation, Wang Mi nodded with satisfaction.
"Zhiyuan, do you think this arrangement is okay?"
So far, the three-by-three formation has not yet shown its true form. He Mai just divided the soldiers into groups of three and made no specific arrangements.
Wang Mi came to He Mai. Whether this subordinate has real wisdom depends on his next plan!
"That's all?"
He deliberately didn't give any hints and just waited for He Mai to perform on his own.
This sentence, just a few words, sounds extremely harsh and clearly exciting.
It’s a provocative method!
He Mai raised his shoulders and raised his brows: "Of course not, I haven't started setting up the formation yet!"
I still know how to set up the formation, so good, let’s continue taking a look.
"He Mai, if you were asked to put a team of three into a formation, what would you do?"
"Who is in front and who is behind?"
Wang Mi took a few steps back to make room for him to express himself.
In order to save time, Wang Mi felt that he should also give some appropriate advice to Xiao He. The words had already been spoken for this purpose. With He Mai's wisdom, he shouldn't be unable to figure out the specific methods.
Who is in front and who is behind?
Wang Mi's second sentence successfully attracted He Mai's attention. Obviously, Zhiyuan had his own ideas about this new formation.
And now, he is testing whether the two of them have the same ideas.
It has been made very clear just now that when a team of three people is used as a team, generally speaking, in order to increase the scope of cleaning the three-sided nails, they must be arranged horizontally.
This is the basis and will not change. The before and after that Wang Mi is referring to is definitely not what he is referring to.
Then what he focused on must be the internal arrangement of the three-person team.
how?
Do the three people still need to be arranged internally?
Frankly speaking, when he came up with this idea, He Mai really didn't think about it that much.
According to the initial flash of inspiration, He Mai just wanted to form a team of three people so that they could take care of each other and guard against being assassinated by the three-edged nail.
This is just a rough idea, not too specific.
Seeing He Mai stunned, Wang Mi felt that ancient people really lacked logical thinking and often only knew one way of doing things but not the other.
"You don't mean to just place the soldiers in groups of three and be done with it, do you?"
"Don't blame me for not warning you. If you set up the formation like this, the soldiers will be injured a lot."
He Mai nodded helplessly, knowing that it seemed inappropriate to arrange the troops in this way.
However, he could not figure out what the problem was.
Time was running out, and Wang Mi had no time to go around in circles.
I have no choice but to ask others for help.
"A three-person team must be disciplined. Two people are in front, and one person is behind. Two people are in front, one on the left and one on the right. They also have to look after the front. They must drive in slowly at the beginning, so that the three can be separated.
Cleaning the spikes can also prevent soldiers from being injured."
"And the person at the back is also necessary, because the three-edged nails are arranged very densely in some places. If the two people in front take care of each side, it is easy to miss something."
"So we need to arrange for a person from behind to check again whether there are any three-edged nails found in this area."
"After these two inspections, we should be able to ensure that everything is safe. I will then lead the cavalry and baggage troops through this area."
Wang Mi eloquently taught He Mai the deployment essentials of the three-three system. He originally planned to use traditional siege techniques to capture Xiangyang City first.
After all, if you are new here and unfamiliar with the place, you should recite all the sutras recited by the local monks at that time.
Once you have figured out the methods of ancient large-scale battles, you can then incorporate modern warfare techniques into them step by step.
But I didn't expect that a small trap would advance the process of all this.
Not only that, the person who accepted his teaching was not his favorite future God of War Liu Yu, but the scholar He Mai.
Unconsciously, Wang Mi felt as if he had taught a peerless book to someone who was not suitable for it.
He Mai was quick with his hands and feet, and he did what he said. He quickly issued an order, asking the teams to clean up the triangular nails to arrange themselves in two fronts and one back, and told them the essentials of the operation one by one.
Generally speaking, there is nothing new. It basically repeats what Wang Mi said exactly, but this has made Wang Mi very satisfied.
At least it shows that He Mai listened to everything he said and could repeat it exactly as it is. This can ensure that the general's orders can be well executed.
He Mai not only shouted with words, but was also not weak in action. After a while, Wang Mi saw that he came to the middle of the crowd and personally moved the soldiers who were not standing in their correct positions to where they should stand.
Everything was ready, He Mai raised his hand, and the team was about to move forward.
However, the hand did not fall for a long time, and all the soldiers' eyes were focused on him.
Young Master He, what does he want to do?
It’s not because you’re not prepared!
Talking on paper is really unreliable!
Soon, whispers rose among the team behind Wang Mi.
It's no wonder that, like Wang Mi, He Mai was not originally a military person, not to mention that Wang Mi at least had a serious official position in the court, and his family background was the first in Jiangzuo. Even if he was not that
No one dares to say anything about great talents.
What's more, after several battles, Wang Mi has proved himself with his strength, and he can indeed lead an army to victory.
But what about He Mai?
This little scribe is quite diligent in keeping accounts and records, and he is very popular in the military camp. This is all obvious.
But when he was asked to lead the troops, everyone was really sweating.
He Mai hesitated for a moment, and objections immediately emerged.
