The Shang envoy handed the letter of war to Su Bohu.
After making a salute, he said: "I, the great Shang Hu Ben soldiers, are about to arrive in Suyi.
Please prepare for war.
If you want to surrender, it is still too late."
"Tell your king, I have Su Jiashi waiting for your army in the plains northeast of Suyi."
Su Bohu said coldly to the envoy.
Hua proposed to Su Bohu to ambush the Shang army, but Su Bohu flatly rejected it.
It is said that this is a rogue way of fighting between thieves and barbarians, which is inconsistent with the status of fighting between kings.
Even if you win one or two battles with this, your reputation will be ruined in the world, and it will be difficult to gain allies in the future.
If you continue to fight with others, others will no longer treat you as a king.
Naturally, they will no longer abide by the rules and use unscrupulous means.
After listening to what Su Bohu said, Hua remained silent.
I thought this was probably the prototype of ritual warfare in the Spring and Autumn Period.
By the Spring and Autumn Period of later generations, the rules of war between princes and nobles were very detailed and strict, directly turning war into a "competitive game."
But in the history of the original world, the Western Zhou Dynasty, which was under the common rule in the Spring and Autumn Period, took advantage of the shortage of troops in the Yin and Shang Dynasty, and did not even issue a gauntlet, but relied on sudden sneak attacks to conquer the world.
This is really a great irony.
Dozens of banners with black bird patterns appeared on the distant horizon, followed by tens of thousands of warriors in white and red armor and hundreds of chariots.
There are thousands of soldiers, boundless, and tens of thousands of soldiers, connecting the sky and the earth.
The three elite divisions of Dashang Chaoge, led by Emperor Xin personally, including the left, middle and right divisions, have arrived in the northeastern suburbs of Suyi.
A sentinel had already reported to Su Bohu.
Hua and Subohu pulled out their respective teams and began to arrange their formations on the predetermined battlefield as planned.
The land where the Su Kingdom was located was the transitional area between the Taihang Mountains and the North China Plain in later generations.
There were many high hills and hills.
This position was carefully chosen by Hua.
There is a large flat area with low vegetation between the two hills and the high hill, which is very suitable for vehicle battles.
Both sides should be willing to fight here.
The hills and high hills limited the frontal width of the military formation, which allowed the Soviet-Xialian army, which was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, to avoid its shortcomings.
With the sound of drums and trumpets, the soldiers of Su and Xia Fang arranged their formations in an orderly manner under the command of the generals.
In the center are Xia Fang's headquarters' one thousand halberd militiamen, of which five hundred headquarters militiamen are in the front row.
In the third row are Su's five hundred archers and Xia's one hundred tiger archers.
In the fourth row are There are five hundred shield guards, and the last row is two hundred tiger shield guards and sixty sprout cavalry.
All forty reamer-wheel chariots were distributed at the front of both wings of the military formation.
The left and right wings were commanded by Su Bohu and Su Ansheng respectively.
Daji's thousand female archers were also divided into two groups, located in the back row of the two wings.
The mysterious bird of destiny descended and gave birth to Shang, and the residence of Yin earth was radiant.
The ancient emperor ordered Wu Tang, and the merchant armies from all directions in the main domain arrived at the battlefield singing war songs and began to form formations.
It's more like reciting than singing.
The well-trained Third Chaoge Division of the Shang Army quickly formed a formation amidst the sound of drums and trumpets.
Hua glanced over and saw that they were all red and white.
Hundreds of chariots were lined up in front of the position.
The gunmen behind the chariots were all wearing large swords and short swords, with red armor all over their bodies, and the armor was covered with dark red paint, so it was basically not bronze armor.
But no matter what the material is, this kind of leather armor actually has much better performance than the ordinary leather armor made from a whole piece of leather with some copper foam, but the cost is naturally much higher.
It can only be widely equipped in later generations during the Warring States Period.
To ordinary soldiers.
Some of the soldiers in the formation also wore bronze ghost masks.

They were surrounded by a six-horse chariot in the formation, and the person in the car was none other than Di Xin.
At this time, Di Xin also looked at the opponent's military formation from a distance, and said in surprise that the opponent could also generally equip armor.
Then he found that the opponent only had forty chariots, and sneered and said to himself: "Today I call you See what war is."
But because the distance was too far, he didn't notice the extra things on the hub of the opponent's chariot.
A general guard next to him stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty, should we fight quickly or slowly?"
Di Xin squinted and looked at the opponent's military formation carefully for a while, and replied to the general: "The opponent's infantry are equipped with long-range soldiers."
Halberd, if we can't use our advantage in a slow battle, let's fight quickly.
But first let Yu Yiren fight in person for a few rounds."
The difference between slow warfare and fast warfare lies in how the chariot is used.
The so-called slow warfare means that the chariot is not used to collide with the opponent's enemy formation, but only slowly moves forward in coordination with the infantry of one's side.
At this time, the chariot is only used as a combat platform for archers and spearmen.
From this platform, archers could shoot arrows as the military formation advanced.
After the two armies come into contact, the Changge hand in the carriage can condescendingly wave the Changge to harvest people's heads.
There is a certain advantage in being condescending when facing short-armed troops, but this advantage is lost when facing troops with long-handled weapons.
Therefore, when Di Xin discovered that many of the opponent's infantry were armed with three-meter long halberds, he categorically gave up the slow battle and instead used a fast battle method of chariot assault to disrupt the enemy's formation, and then the infantry advanced side by side to cover up the kill.
Hua, who was also observing the enemy's formation, suddenly saw that the merchant army's formation spread out to both sides like a tide, revealing an aisle two battles wide.
The six-horse chariot galloped out, and a man in the car stood proudly holding a halberd.
It was Di Xin.
At this time, the two armies were about 200 meters apart.
Di Xin's car drove into the front of the army's formation and stopped 30 meters away, and began to call for formation.
"There are two small people on the opposite side.
Is there anyone who dares to fight with me?"
Naturally, Hua knew that Di Xin himself was extremely brave and powerful.
Just when you are thinking about who will fight you alone.
The four-horse carriage that Su Bohu was riding on had already come to the front.
Su Bohu, who was fully clothed, was standing on top of the carriage holding a halberd about three meters long.
This is Suber's own car.
The roof has been removed and it is used as a chariot without a reamer.
After Su Bohu's chariot stopped, he said loudly to Di Xin: "I originally wanted to pay tribute to you Shangfang and become my vassal, but you bullied me too much and even wanted to take my daughter as a slave.
Such virtue is not worthy of our Su Su "The king of the clan.
Emperor Xin shouted: "If you are willing to be a minister, you should know the meaning of a minister.
You are not even willing to give up your daughter, so what kind of a disciple are you?
Stop talking nonsense, I will destroy you Yousu today, and fight with Yu for a few rounds first."
After that, he ordered his husband to drive towards Subohu.
When the two cars missed each other, it was the moment when the two men were fighting.
The two halberds collided together and then bounced away quickly.
Then the two vehicles each advanced fifty or sixty meters before they were able to stop slowly.
The driver then drives the car in a big circle, turns around, accelerates forward, and enters the next round.
The military formations on both sides were beating drums, and the soldiers were shouting.
Hua sighed in his heart: Is this a war?
It looks like a sports competition.
In the third round, when they missed each other, the two swung their halberds at each other again.
This time, the two halberds did not intersect.
Subohu's halberd was swung empty, but Di Xin's halberd struck the side of Subohu's body. right side.
Subohu's body suddenly went limp, but luckily he didn't fall under the car.

"Not good," Hua Xin said.
The merchant army's military formation burst into loud cheers, and their morale was high.
The morale of the Soviet-Xialian coalition seemed a bit low
