Speaking of Genghis Khan, that is the pride of the Mongols. Under his leadership. Build a powerful empire across Asia and Europe. The Mongols fought all the way from China to Europe in the Northern Expedition and were invincible. The kings of many European countries heard that mongol troops were coming from outside. Even before you even fight, you have already instigated. It is said that in that year. When Genghis Khan was waging war against Europe. Many Europeans died under the hooves of the Mongols, and it can be said that Genghis Khan's empire was built with dead people, so how did the Mongol soldiers deal with these war corpses?
At that time, the Mongols had a very cruel method, that is, every time they attacked a city, they would carry out inhumane acts. Slaughtering the city, this is a very cruel thing, it is said that this is to prevent, when the Mongol soldiers attack the country behind, to prevent the captured city from sneaking attacks from their backs, so they simply slaughtered the entire city, so as to avoid trouble.
The second method is to bury the captives alive. It's about digging a big pit. These captives were then buried in a pit, the so-called pit killing. This method was used many times by the ancients. The most famous is the Battle of Changping. At that time, the Army of the State of Zhao was led by Zhao Kuo, but this Zhao Kuo would only talk about it, but had no actual combat experience, and finally more than 400,000 soldiers were in confrontation with the Army of the State of Qin, when the general of the State of Qin at that time was the famous general Bai Qi. As a result, in the end, Zhao Kuo was caught in Bai Qi's strategy, 400,000 people were besieged by the Qin army, Zhao Kuo broke through five times without breaking out, and finally was killed by random arrows, and all the 400,000 soldiers were killed by the Qin army.
In the 90s of the last century, in the southern part of Shanxi, many mass graves were excavated, all of which were the corpses of teenagers, and later after expert identification, this was the soldier who was killed by Bai Qi. So this is also a very cruel method, Kublai Khan once used this method when attacking Europe, but this method has a clear disadvantage, that is, it requires a lot of manpower to dig the pit.
The last method is. The corpses are all stacked up and arranged into a certain shape, generally in the shape of a pyramid, and the "building" accumulated by the corpses is also known as the "Chikukyotai". This was a method of showing off its achievements, and the Mongol army popularized it in order to be a subjugated soldier without a fight. On the one hand, he showed off his record, on the other hand. For those who have not yet surrendered, the small European countries play a psychological deterrent role, and it is said to be very effective, many small European countries heard that the Mongol soldiers were coming, and immediately opened the city gates and surrendered.
