Chapter 29 The Battle of Changping Rectified Bai Qi

Inside the dimly lit commander's camp.

The burly general in armor on the opposite side leaped back, hanging the pot and drawing the bow, and three iron arrows came from the sky.

What future generations.

What more than 2000 years later.

Killing God Baiqi, I don't believe your nonsense.

But the next moment.

When a scene that made him doubt his life appeared, Lin Feng stood still, and all the iron arrows fell to the ground in front of Lin Feng.

This is a strong bow and iron arrow that can penetrate Zhao's best armor!

Why doesn't it work?
Lin Feng said, "General, I am really from the descendants of China, and I came here through time travel only to let future generations understand the extremely tragic Changping War in history."

Bai Qi said coldly, "It's just a war between two countries, what's worth investigating?"

The clothing of the youth opposite is different from this era.

The appearance, movements, demeanor, habits, etc. are also different from those in the Warring States Period, and Bai Qi is already suspicious.

Lin Feng said, "Million-level wars, even in future generations, are few and far between!"

Bai Qi asked again, "How do you prove that you are from a later life?"

Lin Feng replied:

"Bai Qi, from the surname Mi. The descendant of Duke Bai Sheng of the Chu State, the ancestor is the king of Chu Ping Sun Bai Gong Sheng. A military strategist in the Warring States Period of China, a famous general of the Qin State, and a representative figure of the military family."

"At the time of Qin Zhaowang, he fought against the six countries and made a great contribution to Qin's unification of the six countries."

"The main achievement is that he defeated the allied forces of Wei and Han in the Battle of Yiyu, captured Yingcheng, the capital of Chu State, and severely damaged the main force of Zhao State in the Battle of Changping. The ten thousand enemy army was named Lord Wu'an."

"Another outstanding military strategist and commander after Sun Wu and Wu Qi in Chinese history, he, Lian Po, Li Mu, and Wang Jian are also known as the Four Great Generals of the Warring States Period, ranking first among the Four Great Generals of the Warring States Period."

"After death, he was enshrined in the Temple of King Wucheng. He was called the Ten Sages of Wu Temple. "Qin Wu'an Lord Bai Qi" was one of them. Only Wu Qi and Le Yi were included in the "Ten Sages" at the same time."

"A total of 200 million people died in battle during the Warring States period, and Bai Qi accounted for half of them."

……

This is Bai Qi.

A generation of killers.

A fierce war hero, invincible all his life, crushing all his contemporaries, an absolute lonely and defeat-oriented existence.

Bai Qi raised his thick eyebrows suddenly, and said, "Since you are from a later life, let me ask you, where did I die in battle? Where?"

die in battle?

It is a pity that the answer in history is by no means the ending Bai Qi wanted.

on the battlefield.

Who can kill him?

He killed himself.Once fought in all directions for King Qin Zhao, and his reputation spread far and wide, he was finally ordered by King Qin Zhao to commit suicide and die.

Lin Feng said, "The meritorious service shocked the master, and he was suspicious of the king, so he killed himself."

A tragic ending with no good ending.

Bai Qi's heart trembled, and the pupils of his widened tiger eyes were shrinking violently, obviously shocked.

"Impossible, I have made great military exploits for Qin, how could the king grant me death?" Bai Qi looked excited.

The state of Qin is powerful.

The vassal states of the Central Plains are still eyeing each other.

Far from achieving unification, how could it be possible to kill him, a general?

In front of the live camera.

Many viewers sighed.

A generation of accomplished and prestigious generals of the Qin State actually killed himself, lamenting and mourning!
"Bai Qi can't die, the time for Qin to unify China may be shortened by decades."

"That's right, Bai Qi is much more powerful than Wang Jian in Qin Shihuang's time. With him around, how can the Six Kingdoms survive?"

"Since ancient times, when the ruler wants his subjects to die, Chen has to die!"

"Bai Qi's contribution is too great. If there is a rebellion, who can stop Qin? His fate is already doomed after the Battle of Changping."

"It's a pity that a generation of killing gods, in the end, did not die at the hands of other countries, but at the hands of their own people."

"The master of high meritorious service, no matter which dynasty it is, is a taboo."

"Now I want to know how many people participated in the Changping War, how many people died, and how many people were killed."

"Don't worry, I believe the answer to the mystery is about to be solved."

……

In the tent, the back is facing the door behind.

Lin Feng said, "It is said that in the First Battle of Changping, you murdered more than [-] Zhao soldiers, and the people of Zhao hated you to the core. Later, when the King of Qin ordered you to attack Zhao HD, for some reason, you claimed that you couldn't afford it."

"Then HD's battle was not going well, King Qin got angry and ordered you to go on the road with your illness."

"When you came to Du You, the King of Qin sent an envoy to give you a sword and order you to kill yourself."

……

Bai Qi sneered, still feeling that Lin Feng was talking nonsense, the strong attack in his hand was full again, and he repeated every word:
"It's simply a big lie. How can I commit suicide all my life? Impossible, impossible!"

Lin Feng said, "It is recorded in later generations that before you died, you once said: Why did I blame the heavens and come here?"

Bai Qi was confused, "What do you mean?"

Lin Feng thought to himself, "After that sentence was finished, a long time passed, and you said again: "I must die.In the battle of Changping, the number of Zhao soldiers who surrendered was 10, and I cheated them out of the trap, which is enough to die."

Meaning: I deserve to die.In the Battle of Changping, Zhao Guo surrendered tens of thousands of soldiers, all of whom were buried alive after I surrendered, which was enough to kill me.

"Hahahaha!"

Bai Qi laughed loudly, his voice was like thunder, echoing in the dim tent, resounding endlessly.

With a vicious look on his face, he became more and more fierce, and said, "It doesn't make any sense, how could I kill 40 Zhao soldiers?"

When Lin Feng heard this, the opportunity has come!
Immediately said, "The history of more than 2000 years has been turbulent, and many of the histories have been blurred. The future market has mixed praise and criticism for you. Most of them think you are a cruel and inhumane murderer. Do you want to clear your name?"

Bai Qi coldly stared at me, Lin Feng, but said, "After the Warring States Period, who can unify the Central Plains?"

Lin Feng said, "In Qin State, a generation of Qin Shihuang was born out of nowhere, wiped out the six kingdoms, and claimed to be the first emperor."

No matter in that era.

Qin Shihuang, the emperor of the ages, is a hurdle that cannot be overcome!

Only then did Bai Qi show a satisfied smile, and said, "If you say it is another country, it is absolutely nonsense, I believe you."

"Please!"

Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment, so he believed it?

In front of the brazier.

Bai Qi started to warm the wine, and Lin Feng was not polite, and sat down opposite.

Lin Feng asked, "General, how many troops did each of Qin and Zhao send in this battle of Changping?"

Bai Qi replied, "Qin has 67, Zhao has 45."

what?
Lin Feng said in surprise:

"As far as I know, the population of Qin and Zhao countries is only about 300 million. Isn't it true that one-third of the population is gathered in this Changping battlefield?"

Bai Qi was extraordinarily calm, and calmly said, "The battle of the country, as it should be!"

Lin Feng asked again, "67 from Qin State and 45 from Zhao State, are they all regular troops?"

Since it is a program that goes back to China, talks to the ancients, and explores ancient secrets.

primary purpose.

Just to confuse the audience.

Bai Qi said, "Three civilian men transport food and weapons to supply a soldier. The regular army is 23 and 15 respectively."

This number is acceptable.

Lin Feng frowned, "Why did I see troops all over the mountains and plains when I came over? There are no less than a million people?"

According to Bai Qi's statement.

The history books of later generations mostly record that he murdered hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers?This is where history got it wrong.

Bai Qi said, "It is now the late stage of the war, the regular army is almost dead, there is no additional supply of soldiers, and the civilians who transport food and weapons should all go to battle."

All the civilian husbands also want to go to the battlefield?
Seeing Lin Feng's surprised expression, Bai Qi rolled his tiger eyes sideways, and said hostilely, "Hundreds of thousands of civilians are originally reserve soldiers."

Adding them all up, the number of people in the Battle of Changping has exceeded one million.

It is conceivable what a tragic and fierce battle this was.

Lin Feng asked again, "Outside the battlefield, today, how are the casualties on both sides?"

Bai Qi, who was full of evil spirits, looked at the battlefield outside the tent, with a tangled expression:
"Little Zhao Kuo, a newborn calf is not afraid of death, even if it has been besieged for more than a month, it still refuses to surrender."

"The siege battle was repeated more than [-] times, and the casualties on both sides were almost equal."

"20 soldiers of the Qin State died in battle, and 10,000+ soldiers of the Zhao State also died. The corpses were piled up like a mountain, and the burial pit could not be dug."

"Later generations say that I buried hundreds of thousands of unarmed Zhao soldiers alive, which is pure nonsense."

……

The number of casualties on both sides was almost equal.

Not only Lin Feng was shocked by this news, but all the viewers who watched the live broadcast were also dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

Zhao Kuo who talks about war on paper.

Not mediocrity.

Are you going to name it today?
