Inside story of King Wu's attack: 700,000 slaves defected only because of proper tactics.

According to historical records, the battle of Makino was very dramatic, and Shang Zhouwang's 700,000 troops fled at the cold feet. But from the perspective of archaeological discoveries, there is another explanation for this matter.

Shang Zhouwang is called Di Xin in Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Yin Ruins. Everyone is familiar with Shang Zhouwang's nonsense, such as the romance of wine pool and meat forest and the affair of Bigan. But judging from the bronze inscriptions in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, it seems that Zhou Wang is not an incompetent monarch. Guo Moruo has long pointed out that, judging from Oracle Bone Inscriptions's bronze inscriptions, in the first 20 years of the fair battle, Zhou Wang almost always fought against the rebellion in Dongyi and Nanyi (now in the area of Shandong, Jiangsu and Anhui). The long-term war has greatly reduced the national strength of the commercial country, which has given Zhou Guo, a small country located in Shaanxi, an opportunity.

There are more and more signs that in Mu Ye War, the two countries' strategies of using troops are quite different. Shang Zhouwang learned the news of King Wu's attack and concentrated all his troops in the capital. As usual, he put the stragglers, the old, the weak and the sick at the forefront of the army. He intends to use the sea tactics to consume part of Zhou's fighting capacity first, and then use his most elite troops to fight to the death with Zhou people.

The most important strategist in Zhou Dynasty was Lu Shang, the legendary (Jiang Ziya). Jiang Taigong is a very wily strategist. He once had a very famous The Art of War, which was said to have spread to Sean in the Han Dynasty. This art of war died out later, otherwise we would have seen the details of the Makino War. However, even with scattered written records of later generations and the confirmation of the layout of Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, we can still recover some details of the battle in Jiang Taigong.

Jiang Taigong must have deliberately pondered Shang Zhouwang's fighting habits. Zhou People's Army Array is shaped like a long sword. The most elite troops and the strongest fighting capacity are all placed on the tip of the sword. Jiang Taigong attacked the stragglers in front of Zhou Wang's army with the strongest front of his sword. It was a bitter war. The blood of the fallen soldiers was covered with konoha, and there was no ice in the cold weather. Under the impact of Zhou's death, his strategic deployment showed his mistakes. The soldiers in front of the Shang army were the weakest. They were defeated by the fierce attack of King Wu's army, which triggered the reversal of the war. The scattered army of Shang Dynasty rolled behind the army of Shang Dynasty, just like a flood that burst its banks. Thousands of deserters turned against each other and started a prairie fire, which instantly became the general trend.

In later stories, it is clearly recorded in Historical Records that Shang Zhouwang was defeated, retreated to Shangyi Lutai, and died of self-immolation. Zhou Wuwang killed Zhou Wang with an arrow, killed him with a light green sword, cut off Zhou Wang's head with a brass cymbal, and so on, and everyone is familiar with it.
