The most brilliant general in Chinese history and the most prominent general in the Warring States period has been on the battlefield for more than 30 years. The army of the six countries shuddered at the news that he was the one who led the troops to fight.
There is an exact record in the history books: all countries dare not fight Qin, and a note is added at the end, because Qin people have such a general! It is rare in the history of war that a general has reached such a stage. He made great contributions to the great cause of Qin's unification. His achievements created the highest actual combat model of Chinese military science --- God of war --- Wu'an Jun Baiqi!
White rise
In his life, Bai Qi led countless wars and annihilated more than one million troops of six countries. It's a miracle that in those days of war, he never lost a battle in his life (all kinds of historical data show that he never lost a battle once) and often won more with less. He is not only a superb tactician, but also a brilliant strategist. The scale of the war under his command is so large, and the cruelty of the battle is so cruel that few people in the future can compare with him!
What is spring and autumn? War, politics and other state affairs all take place in spring and autumn! Baiqi raided Hanoi in winter, setting a precedent for winter war. It was the first time in Chinese military history to use infantry to attack cities on a large scale. Bai Qi commanded the battle of Changping and annihilated the Zhao army. The battle of Changping is not only a key battle for China's reunification and rewriting history, but also the most cruel and heroic major battle in the world's military history. It is also the earliest and most thorough encirclement and annihilation war in Chinese history. Its scale and achievements are rare in the history of World War. It is a precedent for China to encircle and annihilate on a large scale.
The battle of Changping was a war of life and death between the two countries. The scale of the war at that time was very rare in the history of ancient war. In the Warring States period, it was the largest war, that is, the troops mobilized by the Qin and Zhao countries. From the historical records, it should have been about 1 million. At that time, more than 2000 years ago, it was a very terrible statistic, more than 1 million.
In the war years of that time, Bai Qi fought a war of annihilation. He wiped out the enemy's living forces. He always adhered to this principle, which was the most efficient principle at that time. Because we must not forget that in the Warring States period, when the population was small and the recovery was slow, human resources were more valuable than land resources. At that time, wars broke out every year, and all the princes were fighting. If you captured a large number of soldiers in a war, well, the war is over, and you let them go. After he returned to his country, they will still be soldiers in the next war. The war will always go on, and the war will be fought one after another Go down.
If the battle of Changping was not fought, the 450000 Zhao troops would turn back to be a big army, and the Qin troops would be beaten in vain. White for the country - kill!
One hundred years later, Xiang Yu also killed 300000 Qin soldiers. Why do people treat Bai Qi as a murderer and sympathize with Xiang Yu? Is it just because he is more infatuated than Bai Qi?
The battle of Changping is a great feat in Chinese military history and even diplomatic history, but it was the state of Qin who pursued the rule of law (rule of law), which was despised by the later Confucian literature and history!
To sum up, we can't blindly incline our feelings to the defeated Zhao state because we feel that the good generals of Li Mu's generation have not come to a good end, and we can't insult and distort the Qin State because we don't leave any soldiers in every war.
