Chapter 111: Talismans

Previous Chapter

"Alright, that's the end of the story. Although I haven't watched the sister movie "300 Warriors, Rise of the Empire" of "Spartan 300 Warriors", since this movie is about naval warfare, then it is inseparable from the naval battle of Salamis, I just don't know how different the plot of this movie is from real history? ”

Liu Ping thought about it, and couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face: "Since the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" and real history are so far apart, based on the analysis of this director's urine, the movie "300 Warriors, Rise of Empires" should also be like this, although it is adapted from the real history of the Battle of Salamis, but it must have been unrecognizable, I guess, in addition to the fact that the result is the same as the real history, Greece won the war, and the process is estimated to be much beyond all of our expectations!" ”

Wang Dahai grinned: "How can he make money otherwise, it's almost certain." ”

Wu Yun said angrily: "He is making money, so we will be in trouble." ”

Liu Ping shook his head: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to guess the content of this movie, with our current strength, no matter how big the movie changes, it's best for us not to get involved, under the difficulty of fifteen people, even if we can not be wiped out, the possibility of half of the casualties is still very high." ”

Wei Xuan nodded, and said, "That's what I mean, whether it's a land war or a sea battle, our current strength is seriously insufficient, and it's better to stay away from the battlefield." ”

Wang Dahai made a bitter face: "But in this way, wouldn't we only be able to get the most basic 1,000 reward points for the plot of this movie?" This is too little, didn't we get almost 10,000 reward points in our first two movie adventures. ”

Liu Ping sighed: "Forget it, less is less, after all, this is the difficulty of fifteen people." The two of us are pretty good, after all, we have obtained another 3000 reward points by killing, plus the basic 1000 reward points, how can the total number of 4000 reward points, although it is not much, but it should not be less. ”

Wei Xuan smiled: "The issue of reward points, there are still more than 20 days to consider and solve, don't worry, let's discuss it first, when should we escape from here." ”

Liu Ping looked outside the tent: "Since the Persians don't care much about us, let's just set it tonight, so as to save a lot of dreams at night." ”

After the others glanced at each other, they nodded in agreement: "You are the captain, you have the final say." ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Time passed slowly in the busyness of the entire Persian camp.

In the midst of the noise and the shouting of people and horses, the countless tents that were originally spread over a radius of dozens of miles were put away one after another and placed on the carriages of the logistics department.

Countless supplies, countless grains, loaded by countless carriages, pulled by countless migrant workers, one after another, passed outside the tent of Liu Ping and others, followed by the countless Persian troops in front, along the narrow road, under the command of the logistics officer, lined up, and slowly walked south.

The Persian commanders had sealed off the news from the front line, and most of the Persian soldiers did not know the exact battle situation ahead, so they were still in high spirits at the moment, as if they had just won a big victory.

Everyone in the reincarnation team who was idle and had nothing to do was standing outside the tent door to watch the excitement at the moment, only to see Wang Dahai pointing to the Persian soldiers passing by, shaking his head and expressing his lofty statement: "They claim to have a total army of five million, but they are just attacking a small Greece, I wonder how incompetent the Persian commander must be in order to lose this war in the end." ”

Wei Xuan: "You also said that it was a claim, according to historical records, in fact, the Persian army was only more than 500,000 at most. And the Persian army, though it was many, consisted of soldiers from many nations, and you see, those who wore floppy hats, and tunics, and wielded short spears, wicker shields, and composite bows, were Persians, Medes, and Sicanians; And those who wore bronze helmets, and carried spears, shields, daggers, and maces, were supposed to be Assyrians; There were also Bactrians, Parthians, and Kransmians, who were known for their bows and arrows and spears; There were Scythians who wore high-pointed hats and wielded battle axes; There were Indians dressed in cotton robes and armed with arrows and bows; In addition, this large Persian army had soldiers from more than 100 nationalities from 46 subject states. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Xuan sneered: "An army is actually composed of so many nationalities, and its combat effectiveness is naturally not much higher, after all, they not only have different clothing, different living habits, different languages, and even their fighting styles will never be the same, so it is not surprising that the war can be fought like this." ”

Such a large and complex army, with a variety of clothing and weapons and equipment, made this Persian army very much like a big exhibition of armies and armaments of various ethnic groups, which opened Liu Ping's eyes.

At this time, he had to admire Wei Xuan's erudition, and every soldier who passed by their tent, he could tell which country the soldier came from, what nationality he belonged to, and what characteristics he had according to the soldier's appearance, language, clothing, and weapons.

"Those who ride elephants are from the northern highlands of India..."

"Those are the Kalia..."

"You see, the clothes of those people are very familiar, you should be able to guess their identity from this, Egyptian! As far as I know, they are the most unstable factor in the entire Persian army now, always rioting, and because the language is self-contained, the Persians simply cannot understand what they are saying, so even if they discuss the subject of riots in front of the Persians, almost no one in Persia can understand them. Speaking of which, I wonder, how on earth did the Persian commander command such a large and complex team? Could it be that he carried dozens of translators with him? ”

Wei Xuan was talking energetically with everyone when a loud voice suddenly came from the side.

"You're not wrong at all, it's true. Mysterious Oriental, I am amazed by your erudition! ”

Everyone turned their heads to look, this is a gorgeously dressed big fat man, his skin is slightly dark, his head is covered with all kinds of gold and silver ornaments, his round fat face has two smart eyes, and at this moment, under the support of a group of people, slowly walking towards the reincarnation team.

The logistics officer who had received them before was walking behind this fat man at this moment, so it seemed that this fat man should be the highest commander of the logistics department.

"My name is Willy Ivan, and I am in charge of the logistics of the entire army, and according to Your Majesty's orders, you will be under my command in the future."

"I've seen the sir!"

Everyone in the reincarnation team didn't know what the etiquette of subordinates to meet their commanders was in the Persian army, so they all followed the etiquette of meeting with the ancient Chinese, facing Willy Ivan, holding out their fists with both hands, and bending down slightly.

Willy Ivan nodded, he didn't care if there was anything wrong with the way the reincarnation team gave gifts, after all, the composition of the members of the Persian army was too complicated, and each nation had its own set of customs and etiquette, and he had already seen it.

"I have heard your conversation just now, and I have great admiration for your erudition and keen observation, and it is true that the great Persian army, because of its complex composition, and the use of more than a dozen languages throughout the army, has brought endless trouble to the command of the army.

Every time the superior has an idea, the herald will need to go to the camp with different interpreters to give the order, but because the number of interpreters in the army is far from enough, this command mode seems very troublesome and time-consuming. Since you can recognize the problem so quickly, I'd love to know if there is any good way to solve these problems. ”

Liu Ping couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, you know, the reincarnation team had just surrendered, and they didn't have an in-depth understanding of the situation of the Persian army at all, how could Willy Ivan suddenly ask them such a question.

This question is not easy to answer, Liu Ping and the others couldn't help but look at Wei Xuan to see how he answered.

As a wise man with an IQ of 230, Wei Xuan did not disappoint Liu Ping and them, he just pondered for a while, and calmly gave a solution: "The actions of the army are actually not complicated, nothing more than attacking, retreating, marching, stationing, etc., as long as a unified command standard is formulated, and then all troops, no matter which country or nationality they come from, will be implemented according to this standard."

Then, as long as some special talismans are formulated, the army will use these talismans to convey orders, such as tiger-like talismans to represent attack, tortoise-shaped talismans to represent defense, rabbit-shaped talismans to indicate stationing, and so on.

Maybe their language is different, the writing is different, and the customs and habits are not the same, but it doesn't matter, as long as they can understand in advance and remember what these talismans represent, then no matter what kind of orders their superiors give them, they will act according to the meaning of the talismans, maybe they don't understand why their superiors gave such orders, maybe they don't understand the language spoken by the herald at all, but these are not important anymore, They just need to act according to the talisman, simple and clear. ”

Quiet, very quiet.

As soon as Wei Xuan's voice fell, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence, you know, when Willy Ivan asked at that time, no one would believe that Wei Xuan could really give a solution in such a short time, and they were all waiting to see the joke.

Willy Ivan's mind began to run rapidly at this moment, thinking about whether this plan was really feasible, and his subordinates were all looking at Wei Xuan with shocked expressions at this moment, as if they were looking at a demon.

The method proposed by Wei Xuan is not complicated, it is very simple, and it is easy to operate, so its feasibility is also very high, and because of this, at this moment, it shows how terrifying Wei Xuan's wisdom is.

Soldier talisman refers to the ancient voucher used to convey orders or transfer troops. It is made of copper, jade or wood and stone, and is made in the shape of a tiger, also known as a tiger charm. It was made in half, the right half was kept in the monarch, and the left half was given to the commander-in-chief. It first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and was prevalent in the Warring States, Qin and Han dynasties.

In the eyes of the Chinese, the soldier charm may not be a rare thing, but for the Persians, it is a novelty, an invention that can be said to be Genesis.
