Chapter 320: The Style of Killing Gods
"Do you need to pursue?" When he saw Antigonus retreating, someone asked Wang Jian this.
"No...... It is enough for us to ensure the security of the flanks of the Chinese army......" Wang Jian said leisurely, "The rest will be left to Your Majesty, and Wu Anjun is enough......"
……
Qin Zhongyu looked at the battlefield in front of him, where the Qin army led by Bai Qi and the personal guard troops led by Alexander, as well as the first Macedonian united phalanx, were fighting fiercely.
Although it seemed that the Qin army had a numerical advantage, for some reason, Alexander and the troops he led were able to withstand the attack of the Qin army. Among them, Alexander's activity is the most concerning.
After his henchman Hephaestion was killed by Bai Qi, Alexander was visibly enraged.
At this moment, Alexander burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness, he waved the Damascus scimitar in his hand, and constantly slashed and killed the surrounding Qin army, and even the Qin army general like Bai Qi was beaten by Alexander at this moment until he was defeated and retreated, and he did not dare to face it head-on.
"That man named Alexander is really not so easy to defeat......" At this moment, Qin Zhongyu, who was paying attention to the battlefield, couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect it to come to this point, so that Alexander could burst out with such potential...... If this continues, General Bai Qi may be in danger...... Ah Zheng, why don't you let me help General Bai Qi......" Qin Zhongyu felt that his body had recovered a lot, and he was ready to go to help Bai Qi resist Alexander's attack.
"No need to ......" but Ying Zheng didn't care at all, "Didn't I say it a long time ago, Zhong Yu, just look at it......"
"But General Bai Qi is in danger now...... That Alexander was like a hanger, and the soldiers around him couldn't get close to him at all, and even if he finally used the numerical advantage to defeat him, but if General Bai Qi had any accident, wouldn't it be ......"
"Hahaha......" Seeing Qin Zhongyu who was a little worried, Yingzheng laughed, "Zhongyu, I didn't let you go up to help, not just because I was worried that you would be injured, but because I completely believed in General Bai Qi!"
"Believe?Ah Zheng, didn't you see that even General Bai Qi was a little struggling to parry?" Qin Zhongyu still didn't understand.
"Zhong Yu ......" Ying Zheng's expression became serious, she looked into the distance, as if she was remembering something, "Do you know what the name 'God Killing' means?"
"Uh......"
Accompanied by Ying Zheng's memories, and then there was a short silence, and after a short silence, Ying Zheng finally said slowly: "Zhong Yu...... Although I have not personally seen General Bai Qi's battle, I have experienced the most profound ...... of the fear that General Bai Qi left on the enemy."
"The most profound experience?" At first, Qin Zhongyu didn't understand why, but soon, Qin Zhongyu understood.
"After all, the hatred of those Zhao people towards General Bai Qi was vented on me and my mother...... Ying Zheng said lightly, "how much damage General Bai Qi caused to Zhao State, how much they hated me ......"
"Ah Zheng, you have worked hard......" Qin Zhongyu thought that Ying Zheng remembered the suffering of the past, so he comforted.
"No, I didn't suffer at all, or rather, maybe I was a little lucky at first, and I also complained about why I suffered all kinds of humiliation and hatred, obviously those things were done by the man called Bai Qi, and it had nothing to do with me, but ......" Ying Zheng said with a smile, "but then I felt more and more happy......
"Uh...... Why ......"
"Because the more they hate me, the stronger the man named Bai Qi is! I just like powerful things! Unfortunately, I was too young to let General Bai Qi use me......
At this moment, Qin Zhongyu finally understood.
"Could it be that General Bai Qi wants to ...... all the enemies?"
"That's right......" Ying Zheng said with a smile, "It's this old problem that makes General Bai Qi called a god-killer......"
Qin Zhongyu knew that "human slaughter" and "killing gods" were all the names of Bai Qi back then, and the reason why Bai Qi was able to be given such a name was also very simple, that is, he killed too many people.
According to historical records, Bai Qi once led the army to kill 240,000 Han and Wei allied troops, 350,000 Chu troops, and 20,000 in battles with Zhao general Jia Yan.
You must know that the entire Warring States Period in China spanned about 250 years, during which there were constant wars, but the total number of people who died in the war was only two million, and the number of people who died under Bai Qi accounted for as much as half!
Then why did Bai Qi kill an unusually large number of enemies in the wars he launched when he was a general?
In fact, the historiographical circles have long been aware of this issue. That's because Bai Qi is particularly good at annihilation warfare when he is leading the army!
It is not confined to the seizure of one city and one pool, nor does it pay attention to the number of victories in battles, let alone defeat the enemy, but to completely destroy the enemy's living force.
For example, in the Battle of Changping, the 450,000 Zhao army was annihilated, and only the more than 200 underage teenagers who escaped back were released by Bai Qi to report to King Zhao. The other 400,000 Zhao troops were all killed, and together with the number of Zhao soldiers who died in the previous battle, the death toll of the Zhao army reached as much as 450,000! From then on, the Zhao State was also in a slump, completely losing the strength to compete with the Qin State!
And now, Qin Zhongyu finally saw what Bai Qi was doing.
The so-called reluctant resistance, that is just an illusion of Bai Qi, it is better to continue to let the Macedonian army maintain their fighting spirit, and not let the other party completely defeat in a short period of time is Bai Qi's real idea!
"If you defeat the opponent here quickly, then the opponent should flee immediately...... When the time comes, it will be very troublesome to kill all the soldiers who are scattered and fleeing, but it is better to give the other party hope of victory and let them stay here, so as to completely complete the encirclement of the enemy...... General Bai Qi, he must have thought so......" Qin Zhongyu thought in his heart.
Sure enough, just as Qin Zhongyu realized, the situation on the battlefield had changed unconsciously.
I don't know when, a mysterious chariot unit appeared behind the Macedonian legion, and the task of this chariot unit was not to attack immediately, but to use the chariot as a barrier to completely block the back of Alexander's Macedonian legion!
