In 257 BC, the sick Bai rose to Duyou, and King Zhaoxiang of Qin sent emissaries to give him a sword to kill himself. Bai Qi looked up at the sky and sighed: "I attacked more than 70 cities for Qin in white, and I have never been defeated, why did I end up like this?" In a blink of an eye, he lamented to himself: "In the Battle of Changping, I pit hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers to death, and the sin deserves to die!" ”
King Qin Zhaowang was an ambitious overlord, bent on plotting the great cause of the world, and Haina all kinds of talents, acting in vain, soon came to the fore. In 293 BC, the combined forces of Han and Wei held The Han and Wei armies to block the qin army from advancing eastward, and Bai Qi was appointed as the main general and sent troops to Han Wei. Bai Qi adopted the method of avoiding the real and attacking the weak, first weak and then strong, went around to the rear of the Han and Wei coalition forces, defeated the Han and Wei coalition forces detachments many times, and took the opportunity to besiege the empty Defending Han Wei army, and then attracted Han Wei's main force to Yi Que, using a plan to wipe out han Wei's more than 200,000 allied troops in one fell swoop, and Bai Qi became famous in one battle.
In 262 BC, Bai Qi was ordered to capture the Wild King of Korea, cutting off shangdang's road to the capital. Seeing that the situation was critical, the Korean monarch ordered Shangdang County Shou Feng Ting to present Shangdang to the Qin state and show goodwill to Qin so that Qin could stop the army. Feng Ting was not willing to surrender to Qin, so he tried to save himself and passed the pressure on Zhao Guo.
Feng Ting dedicated the Shangdang to the State of Zhao, and King Xiaocheng of Zhao was suspicious at first, afraid that Bai would attack Zhao, but Pingyuan jun said that the State of Zhao did not need to worry, Qin had a good war, and Zhao Youlian could match it. King Xiaocheng of Zhao then accepted shangdang. After that, Qin and Zhao formed a bond.
In 260 BC, King Zhaoxiang of Qin sent his general Wang Gong to lead an army to attack Korea, and after occupying Shangdang, continued to attack Zhao. After Wang Gong attacked Shangdang, Zhao Guotun 's army was Changping , and Lian was the main general to resist the Qin army.
Behind the opening of the Battle of Changping, it was a war of attrition that lasted three years. Zhao General Lian Po laid out three lines of defense in Changping, the first was the Empty Cangling Defense Line, the second was the Danhe Defense Line, and the third was the Hundred Mile Stone Great Wall. These three lines of defense stretch for tens of miles and meet each other.
In the first confrontation between Wang Gong and the Zhao army, they killed the vanguard of the Zhao state, took the first line of defense, and severely damaged the Zhao army's front line, Guangwolf City. Wang Gong originally wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and capture the other two defensive lines of the Zhao state in one fell swoop, but after the Zhao general Lian Po re-analyzed the situation between the enemy and us, he decided to stick to the barrier and wait for the Qin army to drag down the Qin army, after all, the Supply Route of the Qin Army was far longer than that of the Zhao Army.
The two armies fought a war of attrition in this way, and from a tactical point of view, the incorruptible and sticky tactics were perfect tactics, but Zhao Guo could not act according to the plan. It should be known that the grain output of the Zhao State is one-third of that of the Qin State compared with the Qin State. Fighting the war of attrition, the problems of serious shortage of supply in the economy and rear areas of the Zhao state were exposed one by one, and the Zhao state was refused to borrow grain from the state of Qi, and the monarch of the Zhao state was very unoptimistic about continuing to insist on the war of attrition, and was bent on winning quickly.
In order to reverse the situation, the Zhao state monarch sent Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po, thinking that under the leadership of Zhao Kuo, the Zhao army and the Qin army would still have a chance of winning a big decisive battle, after all, Zhao Kuo's father was Zhao Hao, and Zhao Hao had defeated the Qin army. At the same time that the Zhao army temporarily changed generals, King Zhaoxiang of Qin also secretly transferred Bai Qi to the front line and served as a general.
Zhao Kuo and Bai Qi confronted each other, Zhao Kuo was full of pride, and Bai Qi continued to play the old routine, avoiding the real and attacking the virtual, so that Zhao Kuo could not understand his own reality. As soon as Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo fought, they ordered the Qin army to be defeated, and Zhao Kuo was victorious, and he was even more proud and wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and destroy the Qin army in one fell swoop.
As everyone knows, this is Bai Qi's plan to lure the enemy, first attracting the main force of the Zhao army, and on the other hand, sending strange troops to attack the last line of defense of the Zhao army, the Hundred Mile Stone Great Wall. At this time, the Zhao army blindly attacked, the rear defense was empty, and the Qin army soon occupied the last line of defense of the Zhao state.
After the Hundred Mile Stone Great Wall was captured by the Qin army, the rear supply of the Zhao army was completely cut off, and soon there was a tragic situation of the army losing grain. Moreover, Bai Qi uninterruptedly sent cavalry to attack the Zhao army in different directions, and the Zhao army was surrounded on all sides.
The Zhao army ran out of grain for more than a month, and the military was in chaos, and Zhao Kuo saw the situation and killed eight lieutenants to stabilize the hearts of the army, ordering hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops to break through from all directions, but there was no progress. Qin Zhaoxiang took the opportunity to recruit all the men over the age of fifteen in the Qin Kingdom to fight, and even went to Hanoi to supervise the battle, and poured the strength of the country into a decisive battle with the Zhao State.
Zhao Kuo led his army to break through in all directions, and was shot and killed by the elite soldiers of the Qin army, and after the defeat of the Zhao army, about 400,000 Zhao soldiers would surrender. Bai Qi consulted with his subordinates, believing that the soldiers of the Zhao State were capricious and left fearful of the aftermath, so they tricked all 400,000 Zhao Guo soldiers into killing them.
After the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and destroy the Zhao state in one fell swoop, and personally led an army to besiege Handan, but did not think that Qin Xiang Fan Ju was bribed by Su Dai with heavy money, and the separation would be successful. King Zhaoxiang of Qin ordered Bai Qi to withdraw his army, so that the Zhao army could get the opportunity to ask for help from outside and miss the Zhao fighter.
After that, Qin sent troops to besiege Handan, just when Bai Qi was seriously ill, Wang Ling's siege of Handan failed, Bai Qi just recovered from illness, Qin Zhaoxiang King ordered Bai Qi to lead the siege of Handan, Bai Qi thought that the opportunity to destroy Zhao Xian had been lost, and rejected Qin Zhaoxiang King. King Zhaoxiang of Qin repeatedly sent generals to besiege Handan, but they were defeated. Bai Qi called him sick to the outside world, the Qin army was defeated three times in succession, and Bai Qi was angered by King Zhaoxiang of Qin, who asked him to lead the army to attack Zhao with his sick body. Unexpectedly, Bai Qi traveled to DuYou, and King Zhaoxiang of Qin accused Bai Qi of not listening to the dispatches and disobeying the king's orders, so that he killed himself, and a generation of famous generals Bai Qi died of hatred.
