Bai Qi was a famous general of Qin State during the Warring States Period, and an outstanding strategist and commander in chief after Sun Wu and Wu Qi in China history. Bai Qi, Lian Po, Li Mu and Wang Jian are also called the four great generals in the Warring States Period, ranking among the ten philosophers in the Wu Temple. He is known as the God of War, and he is also known as the first God killer in history. Why?

First of all, he is the god of war, and there are casualties in the war.

According to records, Tian Lei commanded more than 70 wars in his life and never failed. In the Battle of Yi Que, 240,000 troops of the Korea-Wei Coalition were completely annihilated, and the eastward movement was completely annihilated. In the battle of Yan Yong, the Chu army was defeated, and the capital was invaded, forcing Chu to move its capital, and Chu was never recovered. The battle of Changping wiped out 450,000 Zhao troops in one fell swoop, which set a precedent for the earliest and largest encirclement and suppression war in China's history and laid the foundation for being respected as a generation of famous soldiers by future generations. However, the more wars there are, the more people die.

Second, the characteristic of Tian Lei's combat is to destroy the enemy, and every battle causes a large number of casualties.

Sun Tzu said: "A hundred battles are won, and those who are not good are also good; Defeat the enemy's soldiers without fighting, and the good ones are also good. Therefore, the soldiers were attacked, the enemy followed, and the soldiers were attacked. "

It means that the purpose of war is to win, and on this premise, try to avoid casualties. But Tian Lei did the opposite. He fought to destroy the enemy! Has the following characteristics:

1, he does not aim at attacking cities and seizing land, but only aims at destroying the enemy's effective forces. He must seek annihilation in the war. This is the most prominent feature of Tian Lei.

2, in order to achieve the goal of annihilation, emphasize the pursuit of war, the pursuit of the enemy, until disabled. Sun Wu is "not chasing the enemy" and Shang Yang advocates "losing within ten miles".

He will annihilate all enemies, including surrendered prisoners of war, even civilians and the dead!

1. In the battle of Changping, 400,000 people died in Zhaokeng.

2. In the Battle of Yanying, Leitian adopted the tactics of Tao Xin attacking Chu and breaking the water to attack the city, and conquered another capital of Chu. In this battle, hundreds of thousands of people drowned alone!

In the thirty-seventh year of Zhou Nanwang, Tian Lei once again sent troops to attack Chu, taking the capital of Chu and burning the tomb of the former king of Chu. This act of digging ancestral graves aroused great hatred of Chu people, who shouted slogans: "Although there are three families in Chu, Qin will die." Finally, Qiang Qin was destroyed by the Truman, which is another story, of course.
