Tian Lei led countless wars in his life and wiped out more than one million troops from six countries. It is a miracle that I have captured more than 70 cities in six countries. In those 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 I often win more with less. He is both a superb tactician and an excellent strategist. The scale of the war he commanded and the cruelty of the battle were rarely compared by later generations!
What is Spring and Autumn? It means that war, politics and other national events all happen in spring and autumn! In winter, a surprise attack on Hanoi, Wei started the winter war, and for the first time in China's military history, infantry attacked the city on a large scale. Tian Lei commanded the battle of Changping and wiped out the Zhao army. More than 400,000 Zhao troops were annihilated (or * * * more than 600,000 were killed). The battle of Changping was 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 China history. Its scale and brilliant achievements are also rare in the history of world wars. There is a precedent for China's large-scale panic in tactics.
The battle of Changping is 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, and it was the largest war in the Warring States period. Historically, the total number of troops mobilized by Qin and Zhao should be about 1 10,000. At that time more than 2000 years ago, this was a very terrible statistic, which was more than 654.38+0 million. Therefore, neither side can afford to lose this war, including Qiang Qin. In fact, it was a war to decide who would unify China at the end of the Warring States Period. In this war, Tian Lei once again played the leading role, the first hero.
At that time, during the war years, Leitian fought a war of annihilation, and he wiped out the effective forces of the enemy. He always adhered to this principle, which was the most efficient principle at that time. Because we must never forget that during the Warring States period, the population was small and the recovery was slow, and human resources were more precious than land resources. At that time, wars broke out every year, and the monarchs of various vassal States were at war. If you capture a large number of soldiers in a war, well, the war is over, but you let them go. After he returned to China, they will still be soldiers in the next war, and the war will continue, and the war will continue one after another.
If the battle of Changping is not defeated, Zhao's 450,000 troops will turn back into another army and be defeated in vain. Tian Lei is a national plan-kill!
A hundred years later, Xiang Yu also killed 300,000 Qin soldiers. Why do people regard Tian Lei as a murderer and sympathize with Xiang Yu? Just because he is obsessed with leitian?
The battle of Changping was a feat of chinese military history and even the diplomatic history, but it was completed by Qin State, which was despised by later Confucian literature and history and pursued the rule of Legalism (rule of law)!
To sum up, we can't sigh because we think that Li Mu's generation of heroes have no good end, and blindly turn our feelings to the defeated Zhao; We should not insult and distort the state of Qin, because we didn't leave a single soldier in every battle in Tian Lei.
Qin is not invulnerable, otherwise it would not have died the next year. However, when we evaluate historical figures, should we be fair and objective, instead of generalizing "violent Qin" and "murderous"?
Tian Lei, a military wizard, is a god of war, but he ignores tactics and is not worthy of the word "lean". As for heroes, they have always been respected by later Confucian kings. Because Tian Lei killed too many enemies, he was also excluded from these "benevolent and moral" literati. Therefore, later generations often call him a murderer, and some historians even think that Tian Lei is not worthy of being called a famous star at all. But as we all know, in fact, Tian Lei occupies a very important position in the world military history, and it is really a "God of War" born for war!
Wu Zixu, Sun Wu, Wu Qi of Wei State, Pang Juan, Sun Bin of Qi State and Yan State, all famous Warring States players, first learned from their teachers, and then went to their favorite countries to "visit the generals", hoping to gain the appreciation of wise monarchs. This is a good atmosphere for selecting talents in two ways during the Warring States period. As the saying goes, "a hundred schools of thought contend, and harmony is different." Most of these "great generals" wrote books after retiring or losing power, hoping to pass on their military theories and practices to future generations.
The real four famous soldiers in the Warring States Period-Bai Qi, Lian Po, Wang Jian and Li Mu-have not been systematically studied by military strategists, but are purely "military origins". They started with soldiers and left their names for future generations with their achievements in killing and fighting.
Qin and Zhao were the bloodiest and most combative countries in the Warring States period, especially Qin. Due to the thorough implementation of the Legalist military system, all generals were born in the war. Even the children of nobles are still veterans and cannot be knighted. In this environment, a generation of God of War was born, such as Bai Qi, who moved from the grassroots generals to glory step by step! .
