Although the outcome of the matter could not satisfy Wang Luo, in the end, for safety reasons, Wang Luo had to adopt a backup plan.

But the backup plan also has the problem of the backup plan, a person walks normally, and after accelerating, an afterimage can be seen flashing. But this is not a special effect after all, it is just a shot of a high-speed gallop of a war horse.

Therefore, the state of a high-speed galloping war horse and the person riding on the war horse are completely different states.

However, at this time, the veteran Yang Yihu proposed a more sophisticated method, although this method is more troublesome, but it is indeed a popular routine for the crew at present.

Only a batch of electric Trojan horses, or manual Trojan horses, are used by machines or people to push the war horses to make them make high-speed running movements, and then people sit on them, and they can shoot the picture of the war horses galloping at high speed.

When it comes to post-production, you can combine people with real running horses.

Generally speaking, with this kind of crude synthesis technology on TV, as long as the technology is not too bad, the general audience will not be able to see it.

And some normal walking pictures, that can be shot realistically.

The first scene filmed by the crew in Chifeng was the scene of the Siege of Mayi. first filmed Nie Yi going to the Xiongnu to lure the enemy, and then the Xiongnu sent troops to Ma Yi.

This scene is the first big scene in the whole play, just a group performance, more than 10,000 people were mobilized, and the cost of one day was more than 2 million.

According to the plan, such a scene will need at least six times, about ten days of filming, and if you calculate it, the cost of these group performances alone will reach a terrifying 20 million.

And the budget for this whole show. It's only nearly 40 million.

Regarding the failure of the Siege of Mayi, Wang Luo arranged two shots to describe this.

The first shot is that the Xiongnu army is on the way forward, destroying a beacon tower in the way forward, and getting information from Tingwei that a large number of Han troops have appeared recently.

is different from the original TV series, this time Wang Luo deliberately gave this scene about two minutes of footage.

The other shot is in the woods where the Han army is hiding when it is about to enter the encirclement. Suddenly, a field of wild birds flew up.

Anyone who has lived in the wild all year round knows that if one or dozens of wild birds suddenly take flight, it may not mean anything.

But if suddenly a large number of wild birds fly up, then it proves that there are people in the woods, and there are definitely not a few, otherwise it would never have caused so many wild birds to leave the woods.

With the explanation of the Pavilion Captain of the Beacon Tower in front of him, coupled with the abnormality over the woods, the vigilant Xiongnu Shan Yu became suspicious. Therefore, the withdrawal of troops was ordered.

The battle of encirclement of 300,000 Han troops was declared a failure.

The rear army led by the general general Wang Hui did not take the opportunity to pursue the Huns, but just quietly watched the Huns leave the encirclement.

Afterwards, Han Anguo, Li Guang and others questioned why Wang Hui did not send troops to drag the Xiongnu.

To be honest, Wang Luo has no objection to Wang Hui, although according to historical records, the defeat of the Siege of Mayi. The main reason is that Wang Hui, who was responsible for the flank attack and cut off the back road of the Xiongnu, hesitated constantly, so that the Xiongnu were able to retreat with their whole body.

And in the decades to come. Attacking everywhere and harassing the border of the Han Dynasty brought huge hidden dangers to the border areas of the Han Dynasty.

But there is another evaluation recorded in the history books, which not only appears in the historical records, but also in the Han books.

Although the content of the evaluation is different, the general concept is the same.

Although the siege of Mayi was ultimately defeated because of Wang Hui's indecision. And it brought decades of border wars to the Han Dynasty.

However, this battle retained the most fundamental strength for the Han Dynasty, and also laid the foundation for the Han Dynasty's counterattack many years later.

Although Ma Yi's plan failed, the Han did not damage the vitality, so the Xiongnu did not dare to invade the territory with a large army, and only divided troops to attack and disturb.

Arguably. If the Mayi conspiracy really fought, then the Han army at that time might not be the opponent of the Huns. Although the strength of the Xiongnu was three times that of the Xiongnu, the Huns were all cavalry, while the Han army had very few cavalry, mainly infantry.

Therefore, if there is a real fight, the Han Dynasty army may not be able to win. If the Han army is greatly damaged, even if it fights out the strength of the Xiongnu of 50,000 or 60,000, 70,000 or 80,000, then what can it do?

As long as the Huns were an adult man, they were qualified cavalrymen with swords. As long as the Xiongnu Shan Yu was allowed to flee back, he could gather hundreds of thousands of troops again in a short time and attack the Han Dynasty on a large scale.

At that time, the main force of the Han army was greatly injured in Mayi, and it was simply unable to resist the attack of the Hun cavalry.

Therefore, if it really fights, the Han Dynasty may not have future glory.

Han Anguo and others advocated peace, and they felt that the Han army could not confront the Xiongnu at this stage. And Wang Hui is the main battle, and Ma Yi's strategy is also Wang Hui's proposition.

From this, it can be seen that after the failure of Ma Yi's scheme, what will be Wang Hui's fate?

How long does it take for an army of 300,000 to pour out? How much food do you need? Retreating without a battle not only made all the preparations and investments in front come to naught, but also greatly dampened the morale of the troops.

By the time Han Anguo, Li Guang and others questioned Wang Hui, the scene about the siege of Ma Yi had already ended.

The rest are all court dramas, and they have already filmed them when they were in Hengdian.

The final result, as recorded in the history books, was that Wang Hui was ordered to go to prison, and then committed suicide in prison.

However, there is also a small episode in this, at a court meeting, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, but Dou Ying stood up and said good things for Wang Hui, and at the same time, he also pointed out that the siege of Mayi was a failure, not the worst outcome.

And without losses, it is precisely the best outcome.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was actually moved by Dou Ying, but the 300,000 army was dispatched and came back in such a gloomy manner, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had to give an explanation to the country.

And when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, the news of Wang Hui's suicide came from outside, and this scene was all over.

This drama not only shows Wang Hui's timid and fearful side, but also tells the world that Wang Hui saved the Han Dynasty by mistake.

War plays. It's never easy to shoot, and it took the crew a whole day to shoot the scene of the siege of Mayi.

Early the next morning, the crew continued filming.

Because this year's winter is not too cold, and Chifeng rarely snows, and the ground is bare. Although there is no green grass that Wang Luo wants, it is not a white patch.

But this does not affect the filming of the crew, whether you want green grass or snow, it can be done through post-production. The only problem is that in sub-zero temperatures, several leading actors and group actors close to the camera need to be filmed in single clothes.

After all, most of the shots are summer shots, and in ancient times, winter was generally not sent out.

Even the Xiongnu, a nomadic people, would not send troops in winter. Their robbery time. This is the period between the melting of the snow in the spring and the snowfall in the winter.

And this is also Wang Luo's mistake, if he came here to shoot directly when the camera was turned on, there would not be so much trouble.

It doesn't matter if you can shoot in the palace in summer or winter, and it doesn't matter.

But now that things have come to this point, it is naturally impossible for the crew to stop work and wait for the arrival of summer. All of it. It can only be dealt with at a later stage.

But there is one point, because Chifeng does not have a green patch at present. So, there was a scene that needed to be filmed in the south. This also forced Wang Luo to temporarily add a filming location.

Wang Luo was riding on a war horse, shivering from the cold all over his body, although he had already worn three layers of warmth under the costume, but in such weather, it was still difficult to resist the cold outside.

There are not a few people who feel the same way as Wang Luo. And more extras are even more envious of those group performances who can play the Hun soldiers.

Because of the difference in national culture, the Huns wore clothes woven from animal fur, which were clothes that could keep out the cold.

Although it is just an appearance, the clothes look very bloated to wear. They can put more clothes inside to keep out the cold.

Today's filming is the scene of Huo Quai's attack on Longting, and this scene was added by Wang Luo for some time in this TV series.

There are two reasons, first, Longting is the seat of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, which is equivalent to Chang'an in the Han Dynasty. Second, it is thousands of miles away from the Han-Hun border, and it is difficult for the Han army to reach there before the main force of the Xiongnu is eliminated.

Although the results of the attack on the Dragon Court were not as rich as those on other battlefields, it was a battle of great strategic significance. This battle greatly deterred the Huns, and the Han Dynasty launched a full-scale counterattack.

Of course, it also marks the rise of Huo Quai, another general of the Han Dynasty.

Huo Qubing was played by Wang Luo, followed by 800 group performances, and the history books record that Huo Qubing led 500 cavalry to raid the Xiongnu Dragon Court.

However, the main forces of the Xiongnu were in a decisive battle with the Han army in Monan, although the rear air defense was weak, but there were also thousands of troops stationed.

In this TV series in that world, people only saw Huo Quzhi's success, and saw Huo Qubing finally rob his uncle Wei Qing of the credit, and was deposed because of his uncle until he died.

didn't see why Huo Qubing succeeded, and at that time, Huo Qubing was obviously a capital crime, but why didn't Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty execute him? Rather, let him go to Shuofang County?

"General, we are more than 2,000 miles deep into Mobei, separated by about 1,000 miles from the main force, if we raid at this time, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated." A group actor next to Wang Luo said.

"Haha, no one could have thought that our Han army would arrive here, let alone that we would attack their rear. Before coming again, you didn't think of it, and he didn't think of it, so the Huns wouldn't think of it. Rest for half an hour, and then we'll go and kill their nest. Wang Luo jumped off the war horse and said confidently.

The cavalry in the TV series is immediately engaged in battle after arriving on the battlefield, which is complete nonsense.

Even if it was a Hun cavalry, after a long-distance attack, it was absolutely impossible to directly enter the battle. Neither a man nor a war horse can bear this kind of fatigue.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why in ancient times, when the two armies were in a good position, they went to war. Is it really a gentleman's covenant, and I'll fight it after you've set up a formation?

Obviously not, both sides are fighting to rest and recuperate, and over time, this has become an unwritten rule on both sides of the battle.

This rule is also true even if it is applied to the Huns.

It's just that the rest time is long and short, and if the distance they run is not far, they can also go directly into battle.

After Wang Luo dismounted, this shot had already passed, and then there was the picture of picking up dry food and feeding the horse, only a few seconds of the picture, and then it was the picture of Wang Luo's sword to the Hun Dragon Court, and the eight hundred cavalry rushed to the Dragon Court.

It took less than half a day to shoot the scene of the attack on the Dragon Court, it seemed like a battle, even if Wang Luo was pursuing reality as much as possible, but no matter how real it was, it was impossible for him to shoot every shot.

Therefore, this battle Wang Luo only took twenty shots, and how many shots can be added in the end depends on the later synthesis effect.

After the victory of the battle, the eight hundred cavalry will naturally be damaged, and about this battle, Wang Luo gave three hundred damage.

After the battle, the five hundred cavalrymen each led three or four war horses, which were covered with human heads, and returned triumphantly.

The next few battle scenes were filmed very quickly, because of the simultaneous shooting of multiple cameras and the large number of people, there were only six battles, and it basically took only nine days to finish.

The speed of the shooting is unbelievable.

And the large-scale war of tens of thousands of people also made many people sigh secretly. At least, in terms of the number of participants in this TV series, it has reached the highest number in the history of TV and movies.

Wang Luo did not find hundreds of group performances like other crews, and then lined up into different squares, and finally synthesized these squares together through the computer.

In order to confuse the real with the fake, some crews even directly blurred the back shots in post-production.

The last scene of this TV series was filmed in a forest in Western Province, Huo Qubing assassinated his uncle Wei Qing because he was dissatisfied with Li Guang, and after assassinating Li Guang in front of Emperor Wu of Han during another hunt, Emperor Wu of Han was furious, beat Huo Quai, and exiled him to Shuofang.

Later, it was the same woods, but in a different place.

What appeared this time was the expression of regret on the face of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, as well as the corpse of Huo Qu's illness after being treated.

On the way to exile, Huo Qu contracted the disease and died. This is the end of an outstanding general.

It is recorded in the history books that the cause of Huo Qu's death was that during the attack on the Hetao area, he used contaminated spring water, so that bacteria entered the body, and died of a virus outbreak on the way to exile.

But this statement is obviously not true, because Huo Qubing is a general, and the spring water he drinks cannot be drunk by him alone, and if there is a large-scale plague in the army, then this record may still be true. However, there is no similar record in either the wild history or the official history. (To be continued.) )
