Otherwise, Zhou Army war chariot armed forces, basic on insufficient is the worry. 唯一遗憾的是,战象实在是太少了,绝大部分象阵还在东面跟东夷鏖战。否则的话,周军的战车部队,根本就不足为虑。 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. 如果说宿卫军是王朝精锐的话,那么王室卫队就是精锐当中的精锐。他们跟随商王帝辛,南征百战,战功赫赫。卫队成员,全部都是贵族子弟,是商王朝真正的子弟兵,对商王忠心耿耿。 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.

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. 道路两旁的百姓,自发跳起祈神的舞蹈,为大军送行。他们祈求鬼神,护佑出征的儿郎,都能够平安归来。因为城内,有他们的父母,妻子以及嗷嗷待哺的幼儿,等着他们的儿子、丈夫以及父亲,回家团聚。 Di Xin sits on Yellow-Gold war chariot, waves to hint to the common people, brings in cheers 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”. 当一排排装备强弩的奴隶军团出现之时,引来百姓阵阵惊呼。作为中国历史上最后一个奴隶制王朝,奴隶在社会当中的地位非常之低,他们是俘虏,是商品,是货物,是牲畜,唯独不被当成“人”。 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. 可想而知,当这样一群非“人”,被配发强弩,训练成军,对普通的老百姓、商人、贵族以及奴隶主们,会造成怎样的一种冲击。 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. 如果不是商王朝已经到了生死攸关的时刻,那么绝对会有一大群人,站出来反对商王的做法,因为这已经触犯到贵族和奴隶主们的切身利益。 Can be chosen from 70 ten thousand slave, is quite strong and amenable slave.

Cavalry Force, in the middle of beforehand that military campaign, although some casualty, but is still most formidable armed forces, walks forefront Corps. 走在最后面的,才是异人军团。骑兵部队,在之前的那一场战役当中,虽然有些折损,但是依然是最强大的一支部队,走在军团最前面。 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. 紧随骑兵部队之后的,是两万刀盾兵部队,一个接一个的方阵,踩着同样的节拍,穿过南城门,鼎盛的军容,精致的铠甲,无一不让人动容。 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. 大军走在官道上,一眼看不到尽头。前军已经抵达牧野,后军还没有穿过朝歌城的南城门。官道上,全部都是一排排的大军,容不下任何一位行人。 To 3 : 00 pm, last row of Blade-Shield Soldier, will arrive Muye. 一直到下午三点,最后一排刀盾兵,才堪堪抵达牧野。 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. 牧野只是一座小城,城墙破旧,低矮,只是简单地用黄土垒成,几乎不具备什么防御能力。只是作为都城朝歌的最后门户,牧野才会如此的关键。 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. 大军干脆不进城,直接在南郊安营扎寨。一片连一片的营帐,将南郊的平原、高坡、山谷全部占据,密密麻麻,几乎将牧野城整个围了起来。 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. 此时的南郊,早已经面目全非,一道道宽一米深两米的壕沟,布满整个南郊正面,互相之间的间隔,不到一百米,整体跨度达一千米,几乎杜绝战车冲锋的可能。而这样的壕沟,又不至于影响骑兵的进攻。 King Shang Di Xin, enters Muye City Residence Office, takes main forces temporary Command Unit here. 商王帝辛,进驻牧野城府衙,将这里作为大军的临时指挥部。 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. 牧野城中的百姓,包括60万奴隶,已经全部被转移到朝歌,以免消耗储存在城内的粮草,同时也是防范周朝的细作。整座牧野城顿时变成一座军事要塞,除了士兵,就只剩下负责粮草辎重的后勤人员。 Royal Household Guard, takes over control of the guard work of Residence Office, must ensure the King Shang Di Xin security. 王室卫队,接管府衙的守卫工作,务必确保商王帝辛的安全。 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. 当天夜里,帝辛在府衙,召集各路将领,商议明天的布阵。欧阳朔作为异人代表,有幸列席这次军务会议。 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. 事实上,此时的欧阳朔,早已成为商王帝辛跟前的红人,其地位,已经远远超出异人代表所拥有的权限,他的很多建议,都能被帝辛所采纳。 Naturally, Ouyang Shuo's many strategies, back must have the Ju Shou form. 当然,欧阳朔的很多计策,背后都少不了沮授的身影。 ...... …… Mengjin, common, Lu, Peng, Pu, Shu and Qiang, micro, rou and other Feudal Vassal, finally commands troops arrive. 孟津,庸、卢、彭、濮、蜀、羌、微、髳等诸侯,终于率部抵达。 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. 汇集各路诸侯之后,在孟津,周武王与各路诸侯举行反商誓师大会。 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 ;. 誓师大会上,周武王发布讨商檄文,列举商王六条罪状:第一是酗酒；第二是不用贵戚旧臣；第三是重用小人；第四是听信妇言；第五是信有命在天；第六是不留心祭祀。 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. 一个处于商王朝统治下的西面小国,竟然公然指责主君的罪状,就连酗酒这样的生活嗜好都能被列入其中,由此可见,周国是有多么的虚伪。明明是犯上作乱,是谋逆,却要将自己包装成正义的化身。 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. 随后,举行盛大的祭祀仪式,周武王与其他部落领袖对天盟誓,誓灭殷商。祭祀仪式,同样是活人祭祀,不过是将祭品换成商朝的俘虏。 After the sacrificial offering, the soldier peak points to Muye. 祭祀之后,兵峰直指牧野。 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. 西周出动的军队,包括战车三百乘,王室宿卫虎贲军三千,甲士四万五千。这些都是真正的正规军,士兵训练有素,实战经验丰富,军纪严整且装备精良。再加上诸侯武装,总兵力达到七万。除此之外,还有五万余异人军团。 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. 即便如此,周军的武器装备还是远不如商军。商人的青铜冶炼、制造水平极高,其生产的青铜兵器和铠甲质量优良,性能远远超过周军。 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. 尤其步兵甲胄更是如此。商军已经普及了青铜和犀牛皮制造的甲胄,尤其是青铜头盔是当时商军士兵的标准配备,其结构设计、制造工艺、产品质量和防护力即便在同期世界上都是首屈一指的。 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. 而同一时期的周军却只有普通的皮甲甚至木甲,甚至连周军的贵族军官和近卫军都没有青铜甲胄,两者在防护性上不可同日而语。 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. 当然,相比历史上几乎没有甲胄只有一把青铜戈的奴隶大军,周军虽然不如商军,可却比历史上的奴隶军强太多。 Zhou and Shang is the bitter enemy and enemy of long standing. 周与商是世仇、夙敌。 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. 这其中,即有商皇室对周武王连续三代杀爷、屠父、诛兄的世仇,更有由于商屡次出兵伐周,导致的两国间对领土、人口和统治权的争夺。 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. 因此,无论是双方王族间还是国家间和民间,双方一直龌龊不断。到周武王时期,西周举国上下对商已经积压了至少一百年的血海深仇。 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. 西周这次不惜一切代价,孤注一掷,把举国所有能用的兵力倾巢而出。因此周人没有退路,一旦战败后果不堪设想。军中上到武王下到士兵,其军心、士气都极端高涨、统一。 Feudal Vassal sends out, is our country sharpest and most formidable regular army. 诸侯出动的,也都是本国最精锐、最强大的正规军。 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. 商从建国起,就不断对周边临国、部落和民族进行征讨。其目的一是扩大版图,再就是为掠夺人口。而掠夺人口除了增加奴隶扩大生产外,一个重要目的,就是为神权的占卜和祭祀获取活人祭品,或为贵族获得殉葬用的活人。 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. 殷商的神权统治极其严重,经常要活人祭祀。而这些“材料”还讲究“质量”,大多要求一定要年轻力壮,这就注定需要大量源源不断的活人。因此,商朝对外掠夺人口非常频繁、严重。而且整个商族都过于崇尚、信仰暴力和武力,对周遍尤其是西方部族和国家大多采取直接、简单的暴力手段。 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. 这最终导致这些民族对商充满了刻骨铭心的仇恨,一旦时机成熟势必不惜一切代价复仇血恨,其军心士气和西周是一致的。 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. 周皇室一贯温和、贤良的“仁爱、亲善爱民作风”,导致西周三代皇室无论在国内还是周遍部落、诸侯的王室和民众中,都有相当大的号召力,因此可以作到一呼百应。 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. 浩浩荡荡的大军,顺着渭水,直扑牧野而来。各路诸侯国的旗帜,迎风飘扬,昭示着诸侯国起兵反商的决心,这是一群身负血海深仇的敌人。 The gloomy sky, one birds passed over gently and swiftly, leaves behind the endless aloneness. 阴沉的天空,一群飞鸟掠过,留下无尽的孤寂。
