Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

A huge black army appeared on the sky, marching in a mighty manner.

The cold-forged iron armor glowed with a cold blue light under the scorching sun.

There was a constant sound of friction between the nail plates.

Like millions of poisonous scorpions crawling on the sand.

Even without background music, one can still feel a solemn murderous aura!
This is a strong army!
Everyone can see it, no doubt about it!
Han Dynasty.

Liu Che looked at the powerful army on the sky with an appreciative attitude and a smile on his face.

"This army's equipment is incredible!"

"Judging from their style, they should be an army from the pre-Qin period."

"Which country's elite are they?"

"But no matter what, just looking at their equipment, you can tell that this army is absolutely incomparable in strength. If the soldiers are not strong, they won't be able to carry the equipment!"

After praising him a few times, Liu Che also said with some envy.

"It's a pity that even the Han Dynasty can only support 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers at most."

"If I were given 50 heavily armed troops like this, I could conquer the entire world!"

And the sky began to tell:
[In the early years of the Warring States Period, in the Central Plains, while other princes were still pecking at each other with bronze swords, a black torrent wearing triple iron armor was rolling over the battlefield.]

[They carried twelve-stone crossbows on their backs, three-foot iron swords hung from their waists, and held two-foot-long halberds in their hands. Three days' worth of food dangled from their waists.]

[After running a hundred miles in half a day, this group of people were still able to wield weapons weighing thirty kilograms to break through the formation.]

[Wherever they passed, the enemy's heavy armor shattered like paper. 】

[This is the first professional special forces in the history of Chinese cold weapons. ]

[The war machine forged by Wu Qi himself: Wei Wuzu. 】

[Let’s first talk about the background of the birth of Wei Wuzu. ]

[The Warring States Period was an era of war and strife among the princes.]

[Each country is desperately trying to expand its own strength, hoping to stand out in this cruel competition. ]

【The State of Wei was located in the Central Plains, surrounded by enemies on all sides. If it was not careful, it would be in danger of being destroyed.】

[A strong sense of crisis prompted Wei Wenhou, the king of Wei, to become the first monarch to reform and strengthen the country.]

[He appointed Qu Huang to eliminate bad policies, used Li Kui to develop the economy, and appointed Wu Qi to reform the military.]

[Wu Qi guarded Xihe for 27 years. In addition to promoting Li Kui's political and economic reforms, he also reformed the military system and created the "Wei Wuzu". ]

[The Wei Wuzu had a unique organization: five people formed a squad, with a squad leader; two squads formed a platoon, with a platoon leader; five platoons formed a garrison, with a garrison leader; two garrisons formed a hundred, with a hundred commander; five hundred people formed a five hundred leader; one thousand people formed a two-hundred-five hundred leader.]

【A basic combat unit of 1,000 people is similar to a regiment.】

[In wartime, a general will command.]

[According to Xunzi's "On Military Affairs", the standard for selecting Wei Wuzu was "Wei Wuzu were selected based on their size, wearing armor of three kinds of materials, holding a crossbow of twelve stones, carrying fifty arrows, with a spear on top, wearing a helmet and a sword, carrying three days' worth of food, and marching a hundred miles at noon."]

[That is, the soldiers must wear heavy armor, hold long halberds, carry iron swords on their waists, carry strong crossbows and 50 arrows on their backs.]

[Carrying three days' worth of military rations, one can travel a hundred miles in half a day.]

[It can be said that the selection criteria are extremely strict. ]

【But there is still an endless stream of people signing up. 】

[Because those who passed the test were instantly able to make a leap from a carp to a dragon - their entire family was exempted from taxes, and they were awarded 100 acres of fertile land, and even the son of a slave could become a small landlord.]

[The more enemies you kill, the more rewards you will get. If you have made great contributions, you can even meet the king. ]

【How can this be called conscription? 】

[It is clearly an imperial examination that changes one's destiny! ]

【After Wu Qi formed the Wei Wuzu, he hired a full-time coach. 】

【Strict military skills training is provided to soldiers with high basic military qualities.】

[Including individual soldier skills training, formation training, formation training, and communication mark training, etc.]

【During the training, we emphasize giving full play to the pioneering and exemplary role of military backbones. 】

[“If one person learns, he can teach ten people; if ten people learn, they can teach a hundred people…if ten thousand people learn, they can teach three armies.”]

[The Wei Wuzu used square formations when fighting. ]

[This square formation is not a simple arrangement of soldiers, it is carefully designed. ]

[The soldiers held halberds, shields and other weapons, and lined up closely to form an indestructible fighting unit.]

[On the battlefield, the phalanx can flexibly change its formation according to the enemy's situation. ]

[On narrow terrain, you can directly deploy from a marching formation to a combat formation, shortening the deployment time. ]

【You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. 】

[Only a professional army that has undergone long-term training can switch formations skillfully. ]

[In addition to rigorous training.] [Wei Wuzu's equipment was also extremely sophisticated, almost reaching the price of luxury goods.]

[They wear three layers of cold-forged heavy armor that can protect the upper body, thighs, and shins, and have extremely strong protective power. ]

[The main weapon is a steel-clad halberd, which can be used for stabbing or hooking in close combat. It is extremely powerful and can easily break the enemy's bronze weapons.]

[It is also equipped with an iron sword for close combat. ]

[In addition, soldiers must carry a powerful crossbow with a pulling force of up to 12 stones and 50 crossbow arrows.]

[The range of a powerful crossbow can exceed 100 meters, and it can cause damage to the enemy at a long distance. ]

[So, what is the actual combat capability of such an excellent Wei Wuzu? ]

[Their tactics were simple and crude but deadly - the first wave of crossbows swept the ground, the long halberd phalanx crushed the enemy when they were in chaos, and finally the iron swords harvested the remaining soldiers. ]

……

The sky screen switches at this time.

In the picture, the Qin army and the Wei army are confronting each other.

It was visible to the naked eye that the Qin army was endless, and 500,000 Qin soldiers filled the horizon like a black mass.

The Wei army's Wuzu were clad in triple armor, holding long spears, carrying bows and crossbows, and lined up in a Wuzu square formation.

No fear on the battlefield.

……

Warring States Period.

Wu Qi stood on the parade ground, looking at the scene on the sky.

As the introduction of Wei Wuzu slowly unfolds in the video.

Wu Qi's mouth corners unconsciously lifted up, his face full of pride.

Wu Qi had always been extremely ambitious for fame and success, and he was most afraid that his talents would not be utilized and displayed.

At this time, seeing Tianmu praising the Wei Wuzu that he had trained, he was naturally in a good mood.

The deputy generals on the side echoed: "General Wu, these Wei Wu soldiers are truly the pride of our Wei State!"

Wu Qi nodded slightly, his voice full of undisguised pride:
"Yes, these are the results of the joint efforts of me and the soldiers."

"Thinking back to the past, we put so much effort into building this strong army, with strict selection and meticulous training, and every step could not be sloppy."

"Looking at the picture on the sky screen, this should be the battle between Yin Jin and the enemy back then."

"Facing 500,000 Qin troops, we have 50,000 troops, including many new recruits. I am not without tension."

"But I believe in the strength of Wei Wuzu."

"And the final result is indeed worthy of my trust."

"Come, continue to look at the sky curtain and appreciate the elegance of our Wei Wuzu!"

The sky continues.

……

[Outside Yinjin City in 389 BC, the Qin army looked at the Wei Wu soldiers and laughed wildly. ]

[Because the Qin army was much larger than Wu Qi's Wei army.]

[Seems like a sure win?]

[But soon, the Qin soldiers could no longer laugh. ]

[When the Wei Wu soldiers unloaded the fifty crossbow arrows on their backs, iron rain instantly fell from the sky.]

[The leather armor of the Qin army was pierced like rice paper. ]

[The rain of arrows has not stopped yet, and the front row of soldiers have already set up their 10-foot-long halberds. The three layers of cold-forged armor are glowing with a deadly blue light in the sun, and they are crushing into the enemy formation like a moving meat grinder! ]

[After this battle, corpses floated for a hundred miles along the Wei River, and Qin lost all of its 500-li territory west of the Yellow River.]

[In the Battle of Yinjin, Wu Qi defeated the Qin army, which was ten times larger than his own, with 50,000 Wei troops, creating a famous battle in which he defeated the Qin army of 500,000 with 500,000 infantry, 100 chariots, and 3,000 cavalry.]

[Plus the previous battle in Hexi. ]

【The Qin State was directly defeated by the Wei State.】

【Wei Wuzu, thus making his power known to the world! 】

[Wei Wuzu was also the most elite and sturdy infantry soldier of the time, with unrivaled combat effectiveness.]

[The emergence of Wei Wuzu, as a representative, changed the military situation in the early Warring States period. 】

[This marks the Wei Kingdom as the top military power at that time.]

[It defeated the armies of powerful states such as Qi and Chu many times, formed a strong deterrent to other vassal states, and expanded a large area of ​​territory for Wei. ]

[Let Wei become the first hegemon of the Warring States period.] (End of this chapter)
