"Blitzkrieg" Battle of Makino in Zhou Dynasty to Destroy Merchants

Held a military exercise in Di Xin and invited Dongyi to send troops to participate. Dongyi refused. Di Xin sent major commercial troops to attack Dongyi. In the war between Dongyi and Zhou Wang, it had an advantage. It is said that from southwest Shandong to the coast of Shandong Jiaodong Peninsula, most Dongyi tribes were conquered, and thousands of Dongyi people were captured, which made a great victory. Since then, the traffic between the central plains and the southeast has developed, and the relationship between the central plains and the southeast has become closer. The culture of the Central Plains gradually spread to the southeast, enabling local people to make use of superior natural and geographical conditions to develop production.

However, due to the stubborn resistance of the Dongyi tribe, the Shang army was trapped in the eastern region for a long time, which caused the emptiness inside the Shang Dynasty and consumed a lot of manpower and material resources.

At this time, Zhou Wuwang saw the opportunity. At Jiang Ziya's suggestion, Zhou led a nationwide attack on Hajj, and the main force of the Shang army was fighting here in the east, so there was no time to retreat. No way, Shang Zhouwang can only organize slaves and prisoners to fight. The fighting capacity of slaves and prisoners can be imagined. Instead of fighting Zhou Jun, they defected. Thus the Shang Dynasty perished.

On October 26th, 65438 BC+65438 BC+65438 BC/KLOC-0, Zhou Wuwang personally led 300 chariots, 3,000 warriors and tens of thousands of infantry to send troops to the Eastern Expedition.

On February 21st of the same year, Zhou Jun arrived and joined forces with Yong, Lu, Peng, Pu, Shu, Qiang, Wei and Kuai. The total number of allied troops reached 45,000, many of whom were called China side. ) The monarch came in person.

On February 26, it rained before the deployment of the Coalition forces. History shows that the alliance has six factions.

Military historians speculate that there are about 300 chariots, and 3000 warriors are an armored division and the first echelon. The remaining 40,000 people are divided into five divisions, and a phalanx is formed at the back, which is the second echelon. Later, the allies continued eastward in the rain. After crossing the river from Xidi, they went south and then turned east to Baiquan.

On the morning of 27th, Zhou Wuwang solemnly swore: As the saying goes, hens and rabbits are family misfortune. Now Zhou Wang only listens to women and even abandons the sacrifice of her ancestors. He didn't appoint his own royal brothers, but let the fugitive slaves hold important positions, and let them endanger the nobles and disrupt the commercial country. Today, I, Ji Fa, execute the punishment from heaven! Soldiers, work hard! The morale of Zhou Jun's soldiers was greatly boosted, which was the pastoral oath recorded in Shangshu in A.D. 1000.

At dawn on the 28th, the Allies entered Konoha. Record: Konoha, Tan Che, Peng. Teacher or father, time is an eagle. Wu, the cool king who wantonly attacked big businessmen, will face Tomb-Sweeping Day.

However, the formation of the Shang army intercepted from a distance gradually revealed its outline. The original high-spirited soldiers can't help but take a breath: the Shang army is almost on the horizon, and the banners are endless. Although I don't know how many people there are in the other side, it is far more than the Coalition forces. The courage that the allies have just mustered will be low again.

As for the eulogy, when the first batch of emergency military intelligence arrived, the allies followed closely and were caught off guard. At that time, Dongyi rebelled and the Shang Dynasty sent troops to conquer it. There are many records in this document, such as "The Book of Songs Four Years Cloud": "The Shang and Zhou Dynasties searched for Li, and foreigners did the opposite". Both Zhou Kedong Yi and his health have been damaged. Chao Ge doesn't have enough soldiers to defeat the enemy, and there are no chariots available. It is difficult to compete with the powerful chariot array by infantry alone, what's more, Zhou Jun has a sharp heart. Di Xin was shocked to hear that he was coming, so he had to quickly arm a large number of slaves and prisoners of war, together with the troops guarding the capital, to fight in Konoha. According to Zuo Zhuan, the total number of troops dispatched

Records: Zhou Jun was first challenged by hundreds of elite soldiers led by Lu Shang, and then Zhou Wuwang led the main force to follow up and kill him, completely disrupting the formation of the other side. The slaves and prisoners of war in the Shang army had no fighting spirit and defected one after another, and the Shang army soon collapsed. Seeing that the tide was gone, Di Xin returned to North Korea, boarded Lutai, and died of jewelry. The Shang Dynasty officially perished. When Zhou Wuwang arrived at Lutai, he stabbed Di Xin's body with a light Lu and personally cut off his head as a punishment.

It is recorded that Zhou Wuwang won a great victory in the battle of Makino, killing 6,543,800 merchants, capturing 330,000 prisoners, hunting more than 6,543,800 animals such as tigers, bears, rhinoceroses and deer, and plundering a large number of jewels, including 6,543,800 jade articles.

The battle of Makino is a well-known example of defeating the strong with the weak in the history of China, and it is also a well-known example of the early period of the ancient car war in China. The Shang Dynasty, which ended more than 600 years ago, established the rule of the Western Zhou Dynasty and opened the way for the all-round prosperity of the Western Zhou Dynasty's ritual and music civilization. The strategy and fighting art embodied in Makino War are also of great significance to the development of China's ancient military thought.
