Go north through Wusun territory to Issyk-Kul, where they confront Zhiyu's Xiongnu army. In the Han military camp, you can "see Khan standing on the city with colorful flags, hundreds of people armored to take the city, and more than a hundred people."
Riding to and from Chicheng, more than a hundred infantry people were caught in the fish scale array. "
This "fish scale array" army has aroused great interest from historians. Because "Fish Scale Array" is a unique record in China's ancient books. Arrange the troops in a fish shape.
Squamous, need high tissue training and corresponding array rules to guide. This is impossible for any nomadic people and other uncivilized people. Swimming like Huns
Pastoral tribes often fight by courage, and they often have no rules to follow. Careful deployment can only be achieved in a well-trained professional army. So, this trained,
The army that can throw fish scales has become a mystery that can never be solved.
1955, Professor H.H.Dubs, a researcher at Oxford University in England, pointed out in a speech that what China people see on both sides of the city gate is a rectangle.
In the eyes of a typical China head-up painter, a V-shaped shield with a convex front and a soldier standing side by side with the upper end of the shield must look like a fish scale. 1957, he is in "Xi"
The second issue of "Greece and Rome" magazine published a long article "A Roman city in ancient China", arguing that Gan Yanshou and Chen Shang cut down the prince and the famous E Shi in this war.
Below 1.500 people, captured 1.45 people, captured 1000 people, these people were assigned to 1.5 countries that sent troops to help the war. De Xiao Jian asserted that the above-mentioned 145 people were "more than 100 people" in the fish scale array.
Because 145 the Romans didn't surrender, when they saw that Zhi Zhi was killed, they immediately stopped resisting and probably still kept their insurmountable queue. They can also voluntarily choose to surrender to China.
China people. Therefore, they were placed in a special border town, which was named after "Li Gan", which was the name of Roman countries or Romans in the Han Dynasty. He also added the viewpoint from cultural linguistics.
To prove it. "Li Gan" is the abbreviation of Alexandria, which originally refers to Alexandria, because China people can't tell Rome from Alexandria. Hanshu geography
Historical Records says: "Wang Shuo Jie Lu", that is, after Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, it was changed to "Jie Lu" according to the Confucian doctrine of "correcting the name". Can it be a good example? Shake it? Dirty invasion? Street crab? Warehouse?
Alien enemies ",but for the common life and reproduction of barbarians. "This also confirmed from another side, is indeed China captured the soldiers of the Roman legion, and focus on the city near the western border for defense.
Edge.
This Roman city in China existed until it was occupied by Tufan (Tibet) in 746 AD. Yan Shigu, a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty, once investigated the strange pronunciation of city names by residents.
It is believed that the two sounds in the middle of the name of China in this city are combined into one sound, which is pronounced as Liakh-ghiQl. They probably use that method to express the pronunciation of x in the word Alexandria, because
Because there is no Chinese in this sound.
David Huynh Reiss, an Australian expert, made a lot of efforts to find out this foreign army that can pose a "fish scale array", and reached a conclusion similar to that of Professor De Xiao, as well as a list of materials he mastered.
In 60 BC, Pompeii of Rome was commended by the Senate for his meritorious service in the war. But when he returned to Rome as an ordinary citizen, he found himself in a helpless position politically.
At this time, Caesar and crassus joined forces to form a "three-way alliance" with him. In 55 BC, crassus, who became the Syrian governor, was not respected by the Romans because of his military achievements.
The ancient generals dissuaded him and eagerly launched a war against Parthia. In 54 BC, he led an army of 42,000 people to invade Aftia. Pattaya plays in the Gar Sea. Pattaya
The army was dominated by position archers and surrounded the Romans. Arrows rained down and lasted for a long time. The Parthian cavalry began to retreat before the Roman infantry charged and put the bow back on the mount.
The arrows made the Romans helpless, so they had to form a phalanx and set up shields around them. This is a typical Roman tactical formation, that is, the stacked shield tortoise shell siege array (testudo) and PATI.
The runner-up shot sharp arrows from the top and bottom of the shield, killing a lot of Roman troops. Crassus was killed in this war, twenty thousand Roman troops were killed and 1000 was captured. Nearly 1/4 soldiers fled to Syria. A branch
After 10 years of difficulties and twists, the team led by the son of crassus became a vassal of the Northern Xiongnu. After the First World War between the Han Army and the Huns in 36 BC, they disappeared in China.
However, the famous historian Yu Yingshi (1962) refuted the view of virtue in his English book Economic Exchanges between China and Foreign Countries in the Han Dynasty. He proposed that according to the system of the Han Dynasty, there should be at least one county.
Thousands of people, 145 Roman troops can't set up counties. De Xiao Jian's speculation is groundless, and he may be misled by Wang Xianqian's supplement to Hanshu. Xing Yi, a scholar specializing in the history of Qin and Han Dynasties in Taipei, China.
Tian also believes that it is difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong.
From 65438 to 0989, David Huynh Rice, an Australian, came to China again to find a way to solve the mystery. He is concerned about the rights of the history department of Lanzhou Northwest Institute for Nationalities and the former Soviet Union expert V.D. who teaches at Lanzhou University.
With the help of a map of 9 BC, Senjin determined that "Rome City" is located near Yongchang Town, about 300 kilometers northwest of Lanzhou. And found the ruins accurately.
As for the final decoding of the mystery, conclusive archaeological evidence is needed.
