One general succeeded in thousands of bones sank . This sentence is without exaggeration for Bai Qi. Some people have counted that Bai Qi killed more than 1 million enemies and prisoners in all battles.

Bai Qi's Battle of the Gods is Changping Battle . In this battle, he killed 400,000 surrendered soldiers.
The most famous battle in his life was the Battle of Changping, killing 400,000 surrendered soldiers of Zhao State, which still shocked the world.
Hours in the Warring States Period, in the 47th year of King Zhao, the Qin State sent Zuo Shuchang Wang Wang to attack Hand (one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, which had nothing to do with the current South Korea), and seized Shangdang, and the people of Shangdang fled to Zhao State one after another.
Zhao State's famous general Lian Po Before he came to Shangdang to rescue, he did not expect that before he led the army to Shangdang, Qin had already conquered Shangdang first, so Lian Po stationed in Changping, setting up camps and receiving the people who fled from Shangdang.
Lian Po was also a famous general in the Warring States Period. Considering the courage of the Qin army, he must have hoped to fight quickly, so he went the other way, not fighting with the Qin army, but just couldn't stand it. He thought that Qin would need to constantly transport food and grass to the battlefield, which would greatly consume the Qin State's national strength.
It’s like this, Lian Po couldn’t stand it. After a few months, Qin could not defeat Lian Po. Qin was very anxious. If this continues, wouldn’t it be dragged down by Qin?
So, Qin began to use secret tricks. The Prime Minister of Qin Yinghou brought a lot of gold to Zhao to exercise anti-espionage , spreading rumors everywhere, saying that Lian Po is easy to deal with, and what Qin is most afraid of is Ma Fujun Zhao She's son - Zhao Kuo . This person is the prototype of the idiom of "paper" in history.
And here on Zhao State, King Zhao does not understand Lian Po’s true intention. Seeing that Lian Po could not stick to it, I just felt that Lian Po was old, timid and did not dare to respond to the challenge. I was annoyed. At this time, I heard that the person who was most afraid of Qin State was Zhao Kuo, and I was overjoyed.
Then King Zhao gave the order and changed his generals, let Zhao Kuo go and let the timid Lian Po come back, which was exactly the same as Qin's wishes.
When Qin heard this news, he secretly sent Bai Qi to serve as the chief general. The original Wang Wei was the deputy general and ordered that there would be one who leaked Bai Qi as the supreme general in the army and beheaded.

Zhao Kuo was confident and felt that he had read military books and did not take the Qin army seriously. As soon as he arrived in Changping, he began to send troops to attack the Qin army.
Bai Qi ordered the Qin army to pretend to be defeated and fled. The Zhao army chased the Qin army to the camp, but because of the strict barriers, they could not get in at all.
Bai Qi sent another 25,000 people to cut off the Zhao army's retreat, another cavalry inserted into the middle of the Zhao army, and sent people to cut off the Zhao army's grain transport channel. This time, the Zhao army was defeated, and the worst thing was that the Zhao army's grain transport channel was occupied by the Qin army.
Qin Wang Hearing this letter, he was overjoyed, so he recruited many young and middle-aged people to the Changping battlefield to intercept the reinforcements and food of Zhao State.
Changping's Zhao army suffered this defeat. Since then, there has been no food to be supplied, and his morale has been much lower. He has never dared to face the battle easily.
By the autumn of that year, the soldiers of Zhao State had no food for forty-six days, and the people were already hungry and even began to secretly kill each other, using human flesh to fill their hunger.
This scene forced Zhao Kuo to start to break through, because it would be a dead end to defend here. So Zhao Kuo led the elite troops and organized them into four teams, and went on the battlefield to break outward. As a result, the Qin army shot Zhao Kuo to death.
The head coach died, and the Zhao army was in chaos, so 400,000 Zhao soldiers surrendered to Wu'anjun Bai Qi. At this time, Bai Qi believed that the soldiers of Zhao were also good at fighting and had resentment towards Qin. If these 400,000 people were left behind, they would still be in chaos after a late drought. It would be better to kill them all now.
So Bai Qi used deception to bury all the Zhao soldiers alive, leaving only 240 young people back to Zhao State. This battle killed a total of 450,000 Zhao troops. From then on, Zhao State was greatly damaged and he no longer had the ability to confront Qin State.
