Chapter 501: Killing Prisoners is Ominous? N0, don't kill for nothing!
In ancient China, there were many famous battles in which fewer won more.
For example, in the pre-Qin period, the battle of Muye, Jiang Shang and King Wu of Zhou were less than 100,000-170,000, and 700,000 were wiped out.
The battle of Baiju Sun Wu, Wu Yuan, and Gong Lu 30,000-200,000 miles to break Chu, five battles into Ying.
In the battle of Yin and Jin, Wu Qi defeated the Qin army with 50,000-500,000. The battle of Yique rose from 120,000 to 240,000 annihilation!
In the battle of the Yan Dynasty, Lian Po and Lecheng defeated the Yan army by 200,000-600,000.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, they were not willing to be weak, and Xiang Yu in the battle of Julu was 20,000-400,000 annihilated (beef ratio)! Battle of Pengcheng: Xiang Yu 30,000-560,000 and 200,000. Battle of Jingcheng Han Xin 30,000-200,000 to destroy Zhao and capture Zhao Wang Xie!
In the Battle of Weishui, Han Xin destroyed Qi by tens of thousands-200,000, and in the Battle of Kunyang, Liu Xiu was less than 20,000-420,000, and Wang Yi only led thousands of people to flee back to Luoyang (no loss, it is the son of Destiny!). )
Zhu A, the battle of Linzi Geng Yi tens of thousands-more than 200,000 to destroy Zhang Bu, level.
During the Three Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was even more famous.
The Battle of Yanzhou, Cao Cao tens of thousands - 100,000 forced to land 300,000. In the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao 20,000-more than 10,000 annihilated more than 70,000 people. The Battle of Chibi Zhou Yu 50,000-200,000 laid the foundation for the establishment of the Three Kingdoms.
In the Battle of Hefei, Zhang Liao defeated the Wu army with 7,000-100,000. In the battle of Qianqin and Qianyan, Wang Meng 60,000-300,000 annihilated nearly 200,000 enemies. The Battle of Weishui Xie Xuan 80,000-970,000 Fu Jian to Luoyang, only more than 10 million left (really hanging the sky!) )
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was no exception.
The Battle of Tiger Prison Li Shimin 3,500-more than 10,000 annihilated Dou Jiande, this proportion is really 1,500 people compared to Zhu Zilong, and the number of people who killed the opponent is only several times, which is completely higher.
Song Taizu is also famous, the battle of Liuhe Zhao Kuangyin 2,000-20,000 and 5,000. Destroy the enemy tenfold!
Not long ago, in the last dynasty, during the Song Dynasty, Liu Shunqing repelled more than 200,000 Xia and Tibetan coalition forces with more than 10,000 horses and more than 200,000 people. It's also in my memory!
In comparison, Zhu Zilong only defeated several times the enemy with fewer victories, and he also used the most effective, powerful, and direct tactic among the ancient tactics, fire attack.
Don't win too easily!
During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many fire battles. Example 1, the Battle of Red Cliffs. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao led his army south. Occupy Jingzhou. Liu Bei fled to Xiakou and sent Zhuge Liang to Jiangdong to unite with Sun Quan and fight Cao Cao together. Now for everyone!
There are also the fire bull array of the Warring States Tiandan, Lu Xun's fire company camp, etc., and even Zhuge Liang has used fire to attack.
This valley is only in early spring, but it is undoubtedly still winter-based weather in the north. The weather is dry and dry; Second, the ancient forest cover area is much larger than now, and the specific fire can refer to the fires that often occur in Australia. As long as the ignition is done properly, there is no need for gasoline, and it burns quickly and violently.
Don't look at it, Liangshan Shangma shouted above the valley to surrender and not kill, and so on. In fact, it is also a slogan, and there were originally some careful thoughts about wanting to surrender, but as the fire became huge, the Liao people below also screamed.
The exits are blocked, and there is no way out, no way up, and no way out. Zhu Zilong's clone gritted his teeth, simply ordered, and continued to throw firewood. Although it is not explicitly stated, the subtext of not taking prisoners is simply not too obvious.
A few people are uncomfortable, but most people agree with it. The Song army did not have enough horses and horses, and they did not bring food and grass with them, so how could they take care of these thousands of prisoners of war?
What if they hand over their weapons? Even with their bare hands, most of them will continue to move forward. Only one or two hundred people were left behind to guard, and if something happened, even if dozens of people hit one with their bare hands, they could suddenly fight back.
Then it will be a cheat, and it is better to borrow a fire and burn it to death. Anyway, even if they don't add fire, most of them won't survive, so it's better to be happy, let them go faster, and feel less pain.
Mercy on the battlefield is the land of necessity!
On the valley, Zhu Zilong's doppelganger's expression did not change much, and his eyes stared at the endless flames as if he was enjoying a Hollywood American movie blockbuster. The screams of countless Liao soldiers and horses below sounded in his ears, like the screams of the devil of hell before his tragic death.
The valley below was full of fire, and the military supplies were lit, the wooden wagons were lit, the fodder was lit, and the grain was lit. The weeds and trees are on fire, not to mention that there is no water, even if there is water, it is not a problem. The frightened horses, the people covered in fire, all scurried like headless flies. There is no way but to wait for death!
The top of the valley is only 100 meters high from the bottom, but the heat wave of flames below makes people stand on the valley and feel that winter has become a hot day, and even some Song Jun took off their clothes while picking up grass and firewood and continued to throw it down.
The fire in the sky rushed very high, and even a soldier who couldn't see the details with the naked eye could know what it was like below with a brain fill.
"Why did Bai Qi kill 400,000 Zhao Jun back then, I think I understand now. Alas! Falling a crocodile-like tear, Zhu Zilong's doppelganger pretended to sigh.
Obviously, there are many reasons for this, but the reality is twofold.
1- The problem of prisoners of war. There were too many prisoners of war, and it was too unsafe to lead such a large number of prisoners of war back to Qin. So killing them on the spot seemed to be the easiest way to do it.
2- The issue of hatred. At that time, Qin and Zhao were always in a state of anxiety, and the long-term state of anxiety made the Qin State bored, and at the same time, the desire to break out of the encirclement of the six countries was also stronger. The ideal way is to let Zhao Guo have no more usable soldiers, so killing is a rational way.
And in terms of culture,
Have you ever heard of the view of Kyoto? At that time, it was customary to cut off the heads of enemy soldiers after defeating the empire and build a Jingguan temple to intimidate hostile forces. At the same time, due to the scale of the Jingguan, he will reward the main general. The Jingguan built by Bai Qi is very large-scale.
And Song Liao said that he was a brother ally, but in his heart he didn't want the other party to perish as soon as possible. This idea has only existed for about a hundred years!
As for what to say, why don't the Chinese have the habit of killing prisoners?
That's just a part, in other words, Zhu Zilong, whether it's the body or the split, doesn't have such an idea. Don't kill, stay home for the New Year?
The Chinese like to slander benevolence and righteousness, do not kill prisoners, in exchange for the tragic death of 30 million compatriots in eight years, the Japanese killed and surrendered, in exchange for the invasion of China for hundreds of years, the northern war against Tsarist Russia, the southern resistance to the United States, the southern ocean dominant, but only a few million people died, if in recent decades subservience to the United States is heavenly retribution, may I ask what kind of cause and effect is the Chinese in the hands of the Wukou who died tragically for hundreds of years?
Ma Bufang, a modern hero, famous for killing the West Route Army, playing with 5,000 women in his life, although he died in a foreign land, he was still a diplomatic envoy of the party-state, with no worries about food and clothing, and the so-called criminals in Ningxia who killed and surrendered were only punished for a small part, on the other hand, the West Route Army, strictly abiding by military discipline, in exchange for an extremely tragic death, beyond words, who is the retribution?
