In his life, Bai Qi led countless troops to fight, and * * * wiped out more than one million troops from six countries. Attacking more than 7 cities in six countries, the miracle is that in that war-torn years, I have never lost a battle in my life (all kinds of historical data show that I have never lost once) and often win more with less. He is both a superb tactician and a brilliant strategist. The scale of the war commanded by him is so great that the cruelty of the battle is rarely comparable to that of later generations! What is the Warring States Period? War, politics and other national events all happen in spring and autumn! In winter, Leitian made a surprise attack on Hanoi, Wei, setting a precedent for the winter war, and for the first time in China's military history, he used infantry to attack the city on a large scale. Leitian commanded the battle of Changping and wiped out the Zhao army. Killing more than 4, Zhao troops (or * * * more than 6,, and killing more than 4, people), the battle of Changping is not only a key battle for China to move towards reunification and rewrite history, but also the cruelest and most heroic major battle in the world military history, and the earliest and most thorough panic in the history of China. Its scale and brilliant achievements are also rare in the history of world wars. It is a precedent for China to panic in the tactics on a large scale.
The battle of Changping was a life-and-death battle between the two countries. The scale of the war at that time was very rare in the history of ancient wars. It was the largest war in the Warring States period, that is, the troops mobilized by Qin and Zhao should add up to about 1 million from the history books. At that time, more than 2, years ago, this was a rather terrible statistic, more than 1 million. Therefore, neither side can afford to lose this war, including Qiang Qin. In fact, it was a war in the late Warring States period to decide who would unify China. In this war, Leitian once again played the leading role.
At that time, during the war years, Bai Qi fought a war of annihilation. He destroyed the enemy's effective forces. He always adhered to this principle, which was the most efficient principle at that time. Because we must never forget that in the Warring States period, when the population was small and the recovery was slow, human resources were more precious than land resources. At that time, wars broke out every year, and the monarchs of all vassal States were fighting. If you captured a large number of soldiers in a war, well, the war ended here, but you let them go. After he returned to his country, they would still be soldiers in the next war, and the war would always go on, and the war would be fought one after another. If the battle of Changping is not defeated, the 45, Zhao troops will turn back to another army, and Qin Jun will be defeated in vain. Leitian is a national plan-kill!
The battle of Changping was a feat of chinese military history and even the diplomatic history, but it was accomplished by Qin State, which was despised by later Confucian literature and history and pursued the rule of legalism (rule of law)!
I'm a genius and a god of war, but I don't care about tactics, so I don't deserve the word "lean". As for heroes, they have always been given to people respected by later Confucian Wang Dao. Because Leitian killed too many enemies, he was also excluded from these "benevolence, righteousness and morality" literati. Therefore, later generations often call him a murderer, and some historians even think that Leitian is not worthy of being called a famous star at all. But as we all know, in fact, Leitian occupies a very important position in the world military history, and is really a "god of war" born for war!
Among the famous soldiers of the Warring States, Wuqi of Wei, Pang Juan, Sun Bin of Qi and Le Yi of Yan all learned from their teachers first, and then went to their favorite countries to "worship generals", hoping to gain the appreciation of the wise monarch. This is a good atmosphere for the Warring States to choose talents in both directions. The so-called "a hundred schools of thought contend, and the best is suitable". Most of these "famous generals" wrote books after retiring or losing power, and wanted to pass on their own military theory and practice to future generations.
The four famous soldiers in the Warring States-Bai Qi, Lian Po, Wang Jian and Li Mu-were all born in the military without systematic study by military strategists. They started as soldiers, and won their fame for their exploits in killing and fighting.
Qin and Zhao were the most bloody and bellicose in the Warring States, especially Qin, who thoroughly implemented the military system established by Shang Yang, and made contributions based on heads. Therefore, generals were born in the war. Even aristocratic men, who have no credit, are still veterans and cannot be knighted. In this kind of environment, a generation of God of War, such as Bai Qi, was born, from the grassroots generals to the glory step by step! Bai Qi's famous saying: It's better to lie down and die of a heavy plant than to be a general who humiliates the army.
