Many things were happening at Muye.
The soldiers of the anti-Shang alliance were standing in phalanxes. The main body was made up of the warriors of Western Zhou while thousands of chariots were lined up at the fore.
These were the essentials of feudal wars. According to the messengers, most of Shang's chariots had followed Prince Pan to battle in the lands of the Dongyi.
The feudal lords were all reassured to know that.
However, they took a collective double take when they caught sight of the Shang army.
"Roar!"
A flag depicting the Black Bird flew up high on its mast. A dark mass formed over the horizon and surged ahead like a wave. It was the Shang army with its soldiers all dressed in black. From the looks of it, they numbered more than 10000?
"Dum! Dum!"
The war drums let out thunder-like rumbles as the frontlines of the Shang army stirred.
