The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 326
[Chapter 223 The Rise of Prime Minister Cao]
This kind of street fighting in the city has always been the most deadly type of war, even in the later firearms era.
And because of the obstacles, the coalition forces wanted to take the city, except for shoveling the entire city to a flat ground and razing all the buildings to ruins.
There is no other way.
Moreover, this plan is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it also damages many soldiers, which has always been rejected by military strategists.
However, for these, Cao Cao said.
“What does this have to do with me, I will die if I die, it is exactly what I want!”
Cao Cao and even Zhong Yu, and even the entire imperial kingdom.
Their purpose at the beginning was not that Qi State was too strong and needed to be attacked, weakened, or even destroyed.
Instead, he wanted to use this war to weaken the strength of all the vassal states in the world, and by the way, use the countless flesh and blood corpses produced in the war to refine 100,000 magical weapons.
By the way, let’s exercise the foundation of Imperial Kingdom’s cultivation, that is, the elite soldiers with ten thousand inner strength.
And these purposes, with the beginning of the war, have been carried out in an orderly manner, and the situation is very good, almost complete.
As long as this war can continue for another year, then the entire Qi Kingdom will be reduced to ruins and turned into a barren and uninhabited land for thousands of miles.
Then, the purpose of the imperial kingdom can be said to be accomplished.
Although Dangdang said that with the population of Qi, it is impossible to forge 100,000 divine weapons, but it is not bad to have 30,000 or 40,000 weapons.
But don’t forget that after the Qi State was attacked, it is impossible for the world to usher in complete peace.
Instead, they will fall into a larger whirlpool of competing interests.
Even if those vassal states want to calm down, they can rest assured for a period of time and restore their national strength.
The Royal Kingdom, who is a stalker in the Central Plains, would not agree.
Zhong Yu will definitely make arrangements in secret, and constantly create troubles, so that the historical contradictions and entanglements of interests that were temporarily suppressed by the alliances formed by various countries will all explode.
At that time, it will be a big melee.
At the end of the sixth year of Emperor Yuan.
The city of Qufu in the Qi Kingdom, which had been captured by the coalition forces and completely under its control, could have been received safely and steadily, becoming another cake waiting to be cut on the tables of the coalition forces.
However, because of an order from Cao Cao, the commander of the Qufu City Allied Forces, massacre the city, the entire Qufu fell into a vortex of great panic.
The soldiers and people who had surrendered in the city began to actively resist, and as the resistance got longer and longer, their strength became stronger.
The coalition forces in the city could no longer maintain the original winning situation, and slowly lost control of the entire city.
By the end of June, that is, seven days after the coalition troops entered the city.
The entire city did not become a back garden for them to enjoy freely, as the coalition thought, but instead became their nightmare-like meat grinder.
The civilians and defenders of Qi in the city originally had the idea that after surrendering, they could get a small life, so they put down their resistance and accepted the fate of surrender.
It can be said that the will to fight is not firm, and it is easily shaken by foreign objects.
But with the indiscriminate slaughter of the coalition forces, these civilians and defenders became desperate and awakened.
They took up arms and actively resisted.
They had a very bad influence on the coalition forces, and the recovery of the entire city came to a standstill.
Subsequently, under the deployment of Cao Cao, the coalition began to counterattack.
Soldiers one after another, as the order was conveyed, went to their respective positions, carried out their own plans, and began a more effective slaughter of civilians.
The entire city was shrouded in corpses and blood, gunpowder smoke and fire.
Emperor Yuan in early July.
After more than half a month of massacres and suppression of civilian resistance.
The entire city has gradually lost the slightest anger, but has fallen into a bloody terror like a dead zone.
Blood, blood, bright red blood everywhere.
This is the idea of every survivor in the city, regardless of the coalition or the remaining rebels in the city.
Of course, the city is not just blood, but red, how is that possible?
Even if the blood of hundreds of thousands of people from the Western Union Army and Resistance Army in the city was drained, it would not be enough to completely dye the city red.
It was just an illusion created by their extreme fear after they had been fighting for too long.
In addition to the blood, there were collapsed houses everywhere, the black coke produced after being burned by the fire, and the broken blades one by one because they had chopped down too many bones.
But without exception, none of the beautiful words in the imagination of ordinary people are on the side.
In the city, the nearly 50,000 civilians and soldiers of Qi who had survived when they surrendered, but now only 130,000 or 40,000 remain. They huddled in the city where some buildings were stronger and the terrain was more defensive and continued to resist.
As for the coalition army, the original army of 250,000 people now only has nearly 200,000 people left, with a loss of 50,000 or 60,000, and the losses are heavy.
And more importantly, there are the remnants of Qi State that are still resisting in the city. The rest are some strong people who are strong and have a certain ability to protect themselves, not the women and children who died before.
They have become accustomed to killing, and dying, and are not afraid.
The dead will only make them feel more angry and hate the coalition more.
However, even under such circumstances, Cao Cao did not order to slow down the attack.
He continued to order the coalition soldiers to continue to attack the remaining resistance forces in Qi State, launching a more violent offensive, striving to kill all the resistance forces, leaving no one behind.
This order went against common sense, when the rulers of the various countries who were attacking most of Qi’s territory on the front line of the coalition army got the news.
UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com begged to see Zhong Yu and asked him to issue an order to let Cao Cao give up the attack and instead appease the civilians of Qi.
However, it was rejected by Zhong Yu under pressure, even though he knew that this would cause dissatisfaction among many people in the coalition forces, and secretly create rifts, causing inevitable differences among the coalition forces who were originally cooperating and happily dividing the cake. .
But what about these?
Zhong Yu has already planned to completely withdraw from the Central Plains after finishing the vote of Qi State, and will not directly interfere in the Central Plains affairs in the next three or four years, or even four or five years.
Instead, leave this stage to other countries, and let them continue to stage a life-and-death love and murder here.
In this case, why should Zhong Yu continue to be concerned about the opinions of these coalition forces, it is better to offend them all at once, as long as they can achieve their goals of weakening the coalition forces and refining blood soldiers.
Therefore, after Cao Cao had the support of Zhong Yu, his big backer, he continued to start the happy massacre.
Emperor Yuan in early August.
In the entire city of Qufu, apart from the coalition soldiers, there is no other popular person, and they have completely fallen into a dead zone.
In the night, there are always coalition soldiers who can hear the voices of ghosts crying, and the dark figures fluttering one after another.
In the city, the original 120,000 Qi resistance troops who survived had no one alive, and they were all buried here.
As for the coalition, there were only about 100,000 elites left, of which Yuguo accounted for 8,000 people, and their strength was greatly reduced.
When the people of the world heard about this, they were all shocked and saddened, and they all denounced Cao Cao’s brutality and bloodthirsty.
Cao Cao also took this, and he became famous all over the world, and no one knew it.
