Did Bai Qi feel guilty for killing more than 100,000 Japanese civilians?
There are some, more or less.
However, for the sake of the people of Qin, he had no choice.
According to historical records, in Ying Yuan's previous life, Bai Qi was dying.
When he recalled the 400,000 Zhao soldiers who were killed by him, he gradually felt guilty, but he still would not regret it.
The same is true today.
Although he would feel some guilt for killing more than 100,000 Japanese civilians, he would not regret it.
If he had to do it again, he would still choose to do it.
Because he is Bai Qi.
If it were someone else, after killing tens of thousands of people in one breath, they would probably have become numb and regarded life as dirt.
But Bai Qi is different. No matter how many people he kills, he still has humanity.
After all, he was one of the few people who was called "God" by the people when he was alive.
How can a living God be without humanity?
Zheng Chenggong smiled bitterly and said, "After this battle, the general's reputation will spread throughout both our enemy and our country."
Hearing this, Bai Qi sneered, "Reputation? Ever since I decided to kill over a hundred thousand civilians, I haven't cared about reputation."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked down the city wall.
When he was about to leave, he turned his head and looked at Zheng Chenggong behind him, and said earnestly:
"If a general cared about his reputation, he wouldn't have to fight this battle.
Your Majesty has almost exhausted the national strength so that we can fight for a hundred years of peace, rather than harassing the Japanese pirates in a superficial way.
For this general, the interests of the Qin Empire are above all else."
Since ancient times, those who commit murder have never had a good ending.
How could Bai Qi not understand?
A general who is almost invincible, a master of military strategy, and a frequent visitor to the Temple of Martial Arts, could it be that he really doesn't understand politics?
No!
He just didn't bother to understand.
This is Bai Qi.
A natural born leader who disregards life and death.
If we say that among the countless famous generals in Ying Yuan’s previous life, there is any general who can be said to be born for war.
Then there is only Bai Qi.
Zheng Chenggong looked at his departing figure and suddenly bowed solemnly, saying, "It is a great honor for the Great Qin to have a general like you."
In his eyes, being an enemy of Bai Qi was destined to be a tragedy.
Because, if you wage war against such an enemy, you will either win or be completely wiped out. There will be absolutely no other outcome.
However, Bai Qi seems to have never lost a battle since joining the army.
...
Bai Qi's army has captured Kochi Castle, which means that they have established a firm foothold in the Shikoku area.
Immediately afterwards, he issued another order, which was to fortify the city and clear the countryside.
This is not about defending the city.
Instead, he killed all the people in the nearby villages, prefectures and counties.
They stole their food and used it for their own benefit.
Perhaps, this should be called fighting to support fighting.
In short, this is Bai Qi's forte.
The whereabouts of the other groups, except Huo Qubing, have almost been determined.
They all adopted a steady and cautious strategy.
Every time they captured a town, they would massacre the entire population.
Up to now, including the more than 100,000 killed by Bai Qi, nearly 200,000 civilians have died on the Japanese pirate side.
However, one thing that made Huo Guang, who was in charge of the main camp, feel depressed was that Huo Qubing had lost contact.
That’s right, we lost contact.
Sixty thousand elite cavalrymen, just disappeared as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.
Not to mention that the enemy can’t be found, even our own people can’t be found!
now.
Huo Guang had already sent out several waves of scouts, totaling hundreds of people, to inquire about the whereabouts of Huo Qubing's troops.
But until now, there has been nothing.
So, when he saw traces of scout activities, he would run up and inquire about Huo Qubing's whereabouts.
In the main account.
Huo Guang was extremely anxious.
Step back and forth.
He was very worried that Huo Qubing's 60,000 elite cavalry had been completely wiped out.
He’s my own brother!
If this is true, it will be enough to affect the entire battle situation.
By then, the imperial court will certainly blame the Huo family.
The most important thing is that he doesn't want to see the news of his brother's death in battle.
Guo Jia knew what he was worried about, so he spoke to comfort him:
"Marshal, please rest assured. General Huo Qubing is well versed in the art of war and is quite skilled in raiding tactics. He also has cavalry under his command.
Even if the enemy wanted to pursue General Huo, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to do so. General Huo will definitely be safe."
Huo Guang couldn't help but worry, "I'm afraid he might encounter the main force of the Japanese pirates.
Although cavalry has ample mobility, once surrounded by the enemy, there is no escape possible."
The reason why he was worried about Huo Qubing was that it was the first time for him to lead the troops alone as the commander.
To be honest, as the commander-in-chief and his younger brother, letting him lead an army alone, and all of them are cavalry, is already a violation of military discipline.
If we win the war, it will be fine. But if we lose, everyone will turn against us.
Moreover, he sometimes wondered if Huo Qubing could fight well in his first battle as a leading troop.
He knew his brother was a genius.
But after all, this is his first time leading troops into battle alone. Even if he is extremely talented, I am afraid there will be shortcomings!
The cavalry has good mobility, but its endurance is a bit poor.
Once they lose their warhorses and fall to the ground, they are even worse than ordinary infantrymen.
Guo Jia said sternly, "Marshal, you need to know one thing. For now, no news about General Huo Qubing is good news."
