Battle of Muye tenth day, Shang Dynasty Capital City Zhaoge.
Zhaoge City, the meaning is to sing loudly Dawn, welcomed morning sun, progressed day by day.
Was welcoming morning sun, was bathing the warm sunlight, Shang Dynasty main forces from south city gate set out, left for Muye enormously and powerful. main forces that goes to battle with, including 40,000 Otherworlder Corps, 100,000 slave Slave Crossbowman Corps, 10,000 Old Guard Army and 6000 Royal Household Guard as well as 12 war elephant, total soldier strength surpasses 150,000.
Shang Dynasty war elephant first time comes, brings enormous shock to Ouyang Shuo their these Landgraf.
On war elephant dresses up the armor that the rhinocero skin and hardwood make, the face has the Bronze mask, the ivory ties the arms to have the sharp thorn spear|gun. Back of war elephant shoulders has a shape similar war chariot wooden war building, above has drivers, two archers and two long dagger-axe.
So arms Grand Beast of tooth, is the flesh bulldozer in battlefield, nobody can keep off its point simply, the war elephant place visited, will certainly leave behind a bloody road.
What only regret is, war elephant was really too few, most still engaged in fierce battle with Eastern Barbarian in the east side likely. Otherwise, Zhou Army war chariot armed forces, basic on insufficient is the worry.
If Old Guard Army is King Dynasty elite, then Royal Household Guard is Elite among the Elite. They follow King Shang Di Xin, south drafts hundred wars, the meritorious military service illustrious. Guard member, completely is the aristocrat juniors, is the Shang King Dynasty genuine soldiers, is loyal and devoted to King Shang.
Alliance to Zhou Kingdom as well as defying one's superiors of Feudal Vassal, enters to their this going, the shameless act of honor of your visit foreign aggression threat, Old Guard Army and Royal Household Guard officers, are filled with righteous indignation, is determined in broad-head lance by hand, resolutely guards the Shang King Dynasty glory. Their morale surges upward, Fighting Intent ebullition.
The Zhaoge common people, line up in formation in city gate, to go to battle the officers see off. Old Guard Army, is Royal Household Guard, is the Zhaoge soldiers, is the true business clan person on one's own side, is not slave armed forces can compare.
King Shang Di Xin, royal cart takes the field, rides inlaid with gold, silver, and gemstones war chariot.
Enormous and powerful main forces, the flags flutter, broad-head lance stands in great numbers, the military discipline is stern. main forces one after another, pass from south city gate, steps onto the major road to Muye City, arouses intermittent dust.
Path both sides common people, dance Qi Shen the dance spontaneously, is main forces sees off. They implored Ghosts and Gods, aids soldier who went to battle with, can return safely. Because in the city, there are their parents, the baby who the wife as well as cried for food, was waiting for their sons, husband as well as the father, went home to reunite.
Di Xin sits on Yellow-Gold war chariot, waves to hint to the common people, brings in cheers intermittently. Their kings, although is cruel, although is tenacious, although is subject to changing moods, but, their kings, meritorious military service illustrious, has not dropped out own subjects, but is royal cart takes the field, this enough receives supporting of common people.
When Slave Corps of rows of equipment strong crossbows appears, brings in the common people to call out in alarm intermittently. Makes King Dynasty as China historical last slave, status very low of slave in society, they are the captives, is the commodity, is the cargo, is the domestic animal, was only not regarded „person”.
It can be imagined, when such one crowd non- „person”, was allocated the strong crossbow, the training forms an army, to ordinary common people, Merchant, aristocrat as well as slave main, will have what kind of one impact.
If were not Shang King Dynasty arrived at the time of matter of life and death, then definitely will have a troop person, stood to oppose the King Shang procedure, because this has offended aristocrat and slave main own interests.
Can be chosen from 70 ten thousand slave, is quite strong and amenable slave. They walk cautious in the array, is disturbed with fear, to vision that the surrounding common people cast, felt unusual is not comfortable, resembles the light the body, walks is the same on the avenue.
They, but also has not adapted to oneself new Status.
E'lai General of slave family background, walks in the Crossbowman Corps forefront. This Plane accommodates fierce, Martial Arts is outstanding, Herculean General, receives the warm welcome of common people similarly.
Walks in the rear, is Otherworlder Corps. Cavalry Force, in the middle of beforehand that military campaign, although some casualty, but is still most formidable armed forces, walks forefront Corps.
After following closely Cavalry Force, is 20,000 Blade-Shield Soldier armed forces, Square Formation one after another, is following the similar tune, across southern city gate, the prosperous military discipline, fine armor, all makes the person change countenance.
main forces walks on the major road, one shortly end. Front Army already arrive Muye, Rear Army also not across Zhaoge City southern city gate. On the major road, completely is rows of main forces, cannot accommodate any pedestrian.
To 3 : 00 pm, last row of Blade-Shield Soldier, will arrive Muye.
Muye is only a small town, city wall is worn-out, low, but builds simply with the loess, almost does not have any defense capability. As the Capital City Zhaoge final gateway, Muye such key.
main forces simply does not enter a city, pitches camp in south outskirts directly. A piece links a piece of tent, occupies the south outskirts plain, steep slope and mountain valley completely, dense and numerous, almost entire has encircled Muye City.
This time south outskirts, early changed beyond all recognition, width one meter deep two meters trenches, cover entirely the entire south outskirts frontage, gap, does not arrive at the 100 meter, the overall span amounts to the 1000 meter, almost ceases the war chariot charge the possibility. But such trench, does not affect the attack of Cavalry.
King Shang Di Xin, enters Muye City Residence Office, takes main forces temporary Command Unit here.
The common people in Muye City, including 600,000 slave, were shifted Zhaoge completely, in order to avoid the consumption stores up provisions in city, guards against the Zhou Dynasty spy. Entire Muye City turns into Military Fortress immediately, except for the soldier, only remaining is responsible for the provisions Supply Train logistics personnel.
Royal Household Guard, takes over control of the guard work of Residence Office, must ensure the King Shang Di Xin security.
At that night, Di Xin in Residence Office, convenes various group of High-General, the discussion tomorrow's lineup. Ouyang Shuo as Otherworlder Representative, attended this military affairs conference fortunately.
In fact, this time Ouyang Shuo, already became nearby the King Shang Di Xin favorite, its status, has far exceeded the jurisdiction that Otherworlder Representative had, his many suggestion, can be accepted by Di Xin.
Naturally, Ouyang Shuo's many strategies, back must have the Ju Shou form.
......
Mengjin, common, Lu, Peng, Pu, Shu and Qiang, micro, rou and other Feudal Vassal, finally commands troops arrive.
After collecting various group of Feudal Vassal, in Mengjin, Zhou's King Wu holds the counter- business pledge assembly with various group of Feudal Vassal.
At the pledge assembly, Zhou's King Wu issues to ask for Zhou Call-To-Arms, enumerates the King Shang six indictments: First is excessive drinking ; second does not use expensive relatives and old friends feudal official ; third is to entrust with heavy responsibility villain ; fourth is to believe the woman says ; fifth is the letter has the life sixth not to pay attention the sacrificial offering in day ;.
In the west small country under Shang King Dynasty rule, accuses the Lord Ruler indictment unexpectedly blatantly, excessive drinking such Livelihood hobby can be included, thus it can be seen, Zhou Kingdom has falsely how. Defies one's superiors obviously, is the stratagem goes against, actually must own pack the just incarnation.
Afterward, held grand ceremony, Zhou's King Wu with other tribe leaders to the day treaty of alliance, the oath extinguishes Shang Dynasty. The ceremony, similarly is live person sacrificial offering, but changes into the Shang Dynasty captive the sacrificial offering.
After the sacrificial offering, the soldier peak points to Muye.
The army that Western Zhou sets out, rides including war chariot 300, Royal Household Old Guard Tiger Forges Army 3000, armed soldier 45,000. These are the genuine regular army, the soldier are well-trained, actual combat experience is rich, the discipline is orderly, and equipment excellent. In addition Feudal Vassal arming, total soldier strength achieves 70,000. In addition, 50,000 Otherworlder Corps.
Even if so, Zhou Army Weapons and Equipment is inferior to Shang Army. Bronze smelting and manufacture level of Merchant are extremely high, the Bronze weapon and armor of quality its production is fine, the performance goes far beyond Zhou Army.
Especially the Infantry mail-armor and helmet is so. Shang Army popularized Bronze and rhinocero boasting manufacture mail-armor and helmet, particularly the Bronze hard helmet discussed at that time the standard equipment of Sergeant soldier, its structural design, fabrication technology, product quality and protection strength, even if second to none in the same time world.
But Zhou Army at the same time actually only then ordinary leather armor even wooden armor, even does not have the Bronze mail-armor and helmet including Zhou Army aristocrat Officer and Personal Guard Army, both are no comparison between them in the protective.
Naturally, compares historical almost not to have mail-armor and helmet, only then slave main forces of Bronze dagger-axe, Zhou Army, although is inferior to Shang Army, may too be more than historical slave Jun.
Zhou and Shang is the bitter enemy and enemy of long standing.
Namely has the business imperial family to kill the bitter enemy who the master and slaughter father, execute the brother to the Zhou's King Wu consecutively three generations, has, because the business repeatedly dispatches troops to cut down the week, among two nations that causes to competition of territory, population and sovereignty.
Therefore, among both sides Royal Family in countries and folks, both sides continuously dirty unceasingly. To the Zhou's King Wu time, Western Zhou whole nation has piled up at least the 100 year intense and deep-seated hatred to the business.
Western Zhou this time does not hesitate at all costs, stakes everything on a single throw of the dice, all can use the military strength that to turn out in full strength the whole nation. Therefore Zhou person does not have the escape route, once the defeat consequence is dreadful. In the armed forces on arrives at the soldier to King Wu, its morale of troops and morale extremely surge upward and unify.
Feudal Vassal sends out, is our country sharpest and most formidable regular army.
The business from founds a Nation, unceasingly to peripheral subjugates near the country, tribe and nationality. The goal one is to expand the domain, again for plundering population. But plundering population besides increasing slave expansion production, an important purpose, gains the live person sacrificial offering for Augur and sacrificial offering of theocracy, or is aristocrat obtains to bury with the live person.
Theocracy rule of Shang Dynasty was extremely serious, wanted the live person sacrificial offering frequently. But these „material” is also fastidious about „quality”, the request certainly is mostly young and vigorous, this is doomed to need the massive continuous live people. Therefore, the Shang Dynasty external plundering population is frequent seriously. Moreover the entire business clan advocates, the belief violence and Military Power, mostly adopts the direct and simple violent means to all around particularly Western Clan and tribe and country.
This eventually caused these nationalities to be full of the hatred of remembering with eternal gratitude to business, once the opportunity revenge blood will hate maturely inevitably not at any cost, its morale of troops morale and Western Zhou were consistent.
Zhou imperial family consistent temperate and virtuous „benevolence and goodwill love people attitude”, causes Western Zhou three generations of imperial families, regardless of internally all around tribe and in Feudal Vassal Royal Household and people, has the considerably large rallying point, can therefore achieve to have hundred responses to a single call.
Enormous and powerful main forces, following Weishui, dashes to Muye. The flags of various group of Feudal Vassal countries', flutter against the wind, make clear to the Feudal Vassal country to dispatch troops into battle the determination of counter- business, this is the enemy who one crowd carries the intense and deep-seated hatred.
The gloomy sky, one birds passed over gently and swiftly, leaves behind the endless aloneness.
