Chapter 227 Sending troops to poison
On the parade, there was not only Wang Jin.
There are also forces from all directions.
The four Xihou all sent envoys to come.
These messengers were silent, but they failed after a moment of sight. The army in front of them, both in terms of their appearance and appearance, was enough to move them.
In fact, we all have some misunderstandings about nomadism, or the ancient times, about the army.
Take the Hun cavalry as an example.
In our eyes, the Hun cavalry should be full of armor and well-equipped.
However, the Hun cavalry actually wore leather robes, held single bows, and arrows were made of bones.
What we thought was the mobilization of the Huns: at the order of the Great Shanyu, countless herdsmen gathered in the royal court.
In fact, the Huns mobilization: The commander and the witch told everyone that autumn is here and it is suitable for grazing in the south. By the way, see if you can grab something to spend the winter. Let's go!
What we thought was the Huns march: rows of green, strong, neat and orderly, with horse hooves.
In fact, the Huns marched: dragging their families with their families, men grazing and hunting, women and children collecting food, the elderly drive chariots, and grazing while walking.
What we thought was the battle of the Huns: there was a team of Han cavalry in front of them, and rushed up to kill them. There was a Seoul, so we attacked.
In fact, the Huns fight: Canghuang, you take a team of 100 people to the right to swim, Hulabei, you go to harass the left, and the Han army chases you and run away. When the Han army is tired, we will hang them. There is a Seoul, which is difficult to fight, so go around and grab the food of the Han farmers.
The same is true for the four Xihous.
Even though they have turned to some settlement life now, the military system has not changed significantly, so compared with the army in front of them, they can see all kinds of terrible things.
Everyone's clothes are exactly the same, with almost no difference. They can do this, but they have a whisper in their hearts, as if... they can't do it.
The magnificent scene is destined to be unforgettable to them.
In just a moment, when they were in a daze, a Ming flag fluttered high above the sky, especially bright.
The first step is over.
The next moment is the real parade.
Various military flags appeared on the field, and many soldiers stood in the forefront of the army, waving the military flags in their hands. Curious people could no longer help but ask questions in their hearts and asked: "What does this mean?"
A buzzing sound began to come, and everyone enthusiastically discussed the discussion, especially the four messengers sent by Xihou, were even more curious and confused. They wanted to be impatient to see what this was.
As the flags waving, the armies began to move in an orderly manner.
Wang Zi's eyes flashed.
Actually, he didn't understand, but he could also see the general meaning. The mobilization of these troops was achieved by the difference in the waving movements of the flags in front.
This has been happening in China for a long time.
"Liezi" records the battle between Huangdi and Yandi (that is, the earliest known battle in my country's history, "Battle of Banquan") "Carved Eagle Kit" as a banner, that is, the feathers of various birds of prey are used as banners. The oracle bone inscriptions in the Yin Dynasty already had the character "flag", and several pictographic characters composed of flags as radicals and other characters.
There were already various flags in the Zhou Dynasty, such as the chang, flag, flag, object, etc. Each type had different shapes and patterns. These different flags were depicted in "The Book of Songs-Xiaoya" "Traveling" and "Picking the Vehicle".
