Chapter 39 Look at my amazing appearance (Part 1)

One hundred thousand people, in this era, what does a war of one hundred thousand people mean? The Battle of Hot Spring Pass, facing the 200,000 Persian soldiers, it will take eighty years to be born.

In fact, there were about a hundred years before the Peloponnese War at that time, and it seemed that Sparta had not yet risen and became the absolute power of Greece. So in this era, the people of Jin were Chinese Spartans - Oh no, in the order of time, it should be said that Sparta was a Jin person from Greece.

...No, Jin State mobilized the "old and young, lonely and sick, with crooked noses and squint eyes". How could Shi Yan say that only 100,000 people went into battle? Is Jin State only such a small population?

The method of calculating soldiers in the Spring and Autumn Period was different from that in the later period. In the Spring and Autumn Period, soldiers belonged to the "Scholar" class. At that time, "Scholar" was a kind of honorary title. Not anyone was qualified to be called "Scholar", that is, not everyone was qualified to go to battle to kill the enemy - such people needed to be piled up with money at home, and he did not do housework and farm work since he was a child, and he specialized in practicing killing skills.

At that time, under the level of productivity, ordinary families could not afford to support "scholars". He was a nobleman and a noble "warrior"!

In the era of cold weapons, a professional soldier needed at least five to 24 people to serve on the battlefield. These people would be responsible for farming the land of "soldiers" to feed the soldiers, be responsible for the logistics supply of the "soldiers" and the weapons maintenance of the "soldiers"... and guarding, and counting the spoils of the "soldiers".

Therefore, the number of soldiers mentioned in the Spring and Autumn Period refers to the real number of "war soldiers" on the battlefield.

When the Warring States Period was in the increasing scale of war and the word "scholar" became weaker and weaker, countries also counted logistics soldiers, baggage soldiers, grooms, etc. among the number of "soldiers", using bluffing and falsely claiming that they have strong troops...

By the Han Dynasty, according to Wei Wu and Cao Cao, the military strength statistics were "conventionally one should be ten", that is, 10,000 "soldiers" could be called 100,000, but there might be only one thousand people on the battlefield.

"More than 100,000!" Qi Ce looked at ****, and thought excitedly: "Now the establishment of a brigade in Jin State is 1,500, the fifth brigade is one division, and the fifth brigade is one army. This means: our army must have 30,000. Now the four armies are all out - the number of people participating in the war has reached at least 150,000.

In addition, at the Zhongli Alliance, the Allies agreed to send troops to assist in the war. If our Allies fought as agreed - even if they sent 50,000 troops, then 200,000 soldiers on our Jin army alone could participate in the war. If the Chu State had the same force, then this was a battle of 400,000 people, and it would be necessary to find a large battlefield to accommodate both sides of the war."

Dong Guoli interrupted: "The Chu State should be more than 200,000. I heard that the Chu State had various barbarian countries in the south assisting the war. With the Zheng State that turned to their country, their troops were calculated to be 200,000, so that was less than that."

Zhao Wu shivered, not sure whether it was excitement or something: "A battle of 400,000 people... We tried our best to develop two or three thousand soldiers. When we put it on the battlefield of 400,000-level battlefield - the battlefield of 400,000 'soldiers', can a small splash splash?"

These two thousand people were thrown on the battlefield, and they would probably not even hear a sound and would be drowned.

Zhao Wu continued thoughtfully: "It is a difficult action to escape from the battlefield where 400,000 people fight, and the thrilling situation is no less than a blockbuster...Cai, is Yang Youji involved in the war?"

After hearing this, everyone showed a slightly despicable look.

Qi Ce smiled: "What are you worried about? Are you worried about Yang Youji? He is the right person of the King of Chu (the warrior in charge of archery shooting in the car), and Pan Dang is the King of Chu Yurong (the driver), and these two people will definitely participate in the war."

After Qi Ce said this, Ying Chu's contempt for Zhao Wusheng just now disappeared.

When he heard such a big battle, Ying Chu was already excited to sit still, but Zhao Wu said that it was not easy to escape, which made Ying Chu feel that the decision to surrender seemed to be a bit rash. Later, he heard Qi Ce say this, thinking that Zhao Wu's escape was a joke, and that it was to weaken everyone's nervousness in a joke-he didn't expect that Zhao Wu was telling the truth...

That month, when the State of Chu heard the news of Jin's mobilization, it immediately mobilized nationwide. The King of Chu personally led the army to march towards Zheng. He asked Sima (Sima of Chu is equivalent to the Minister of National Defense) to lead the central army, and the commander Yin (official name, equivalent to the ruling) to lead the left army, and the right Yin (official name, left, right Yin is equivalent to the deputy ruling, that is, the deputy prime minister) to lead the right army, preparing to support Zheng nearby.

The armies of both countries are stepping up their assembly, and in this regard, the romantic Chu people move the fastest - the Chu army first arrives in Zheng State, and in Jin State, the "soldiers" soldiers are rushing from all directions. Among them is Zhao Wu's team, but this team seems a bit funny among the crowd.

The soldiers of Jin brought their own weapons, brought their own military uniforms, and had to bring their own food for several months. Therefore, the uniforms of the soldiers of Jin who came from all directions were very uniform, and they all wore regular military uniforms prepared by their own homes. Only Zhao Wu's team seemed a bit out of place.

The clothes they wore outside were extremely inconsistent in color, and they were a bit short. Among them, some people seemed to be wearing small clothes (similar to sweatshirts) and were rushing to the road, which led to the passing small and medium-sized lords laughing at each other: "Is it Zhao Bing? I heard that your head of the family is a child. Last year, I was poor and exchanged his craftsmen for food. Today, I saw that you are really poor... Even if you are so cheap in making military uniforms, aren't you afraid of the king's punishment?"

Zhao Wu's face was not blushing, and his heart was not beating. He led the soldiers to the road, ignoring the hustle and bustle of the lords. When he arrived at the military camp, Han Jue had already received news from him in advance. Of course, he also heard that Zhao Bing was ridiculed all the way. Because he was worried that someone would make things difficult for Zhao Wu, Han Jue rushed to the gate of the military camp to welcome him.

When he saw that Zhao Wu's army was as legendary, Han Jue frowned a few times and asked in a low voice: "No, your number of soldiers is wrong... Also, didn't I let you prepare for the war last year? Why is it that even the clothes are mixed? Hurry up, enter my camp first, I happened to prepare some extra clothes..."

Zhao Wu participated in such a battle for the first time, and he looked like a curious baby... Well, if he had a camera on hand, he would be like a tourist--he looked around and looked around, and Qi Ce reminded behind him: "Master, it's time for our army to enter the camp."
