I am not a seventh-generation descendant of Lord Wu'an from the Qin Dynasty.

Five more days passed.

Bai Qi's forces have swelled to nearly three thousand, and undercurrents are swirling within Han and Wei. The allied forces of the three kingdoms have reached their limit.

Feeling helpless, he had no choice but to rest for two days and then find another mountainous area to set up an ambush.

He set fire to the mountains on both sides, using the elite troops of Wei and Han as the vanguard, while Qin cavalry patrolled outside. He then mounted his horse, donned his armor, and personally led his troops to block the retreat route of the 5,000-strong allied army of Han and Wei.

This was a Pyrrhic victory!

The combined forces of Han and Wei suffered heavy losses, with nearly a thousand able-bodied men killed or wounded. The Qin army also lost three hundred men. The thousand Qin soldiers he led were exhausted and their hearts were filled with longing to return home.

Helpless, Bai Qi had no choice but to gather his 500 Qin soldiers, 800 elite Han and Wei soldiers, and 1,500 Han cooks, find a place to hide, and open up the supply route.

Half a month has passed in a flash.

But only one day.

Just as Gongsun happy, the commander of the Han-Wei allied forces, breathed a sigh of relief, General Bai Qi, the Left General, led 80,000 elite troops, bypassing the Wei army camp under cover of darkness, and suddenly launched a surprise attack.

Just then, Wei general Gongsun happy, worried about the Qin cavalry that had defeated his two supply lines, had just split his central army into 20,000 and sent them to the rear camp for defense.

When Qianzhai was attacked, he immediately dispatched 20,000 troops from the central army to reinforce it.

Unfortunately, the Wei army at the front camp retreated too quickly.

Before the 20,000-strong central army could arrive, they received news that the defeated Wei army was retreating in large numbers.

While Wei general Gongsun happy hurriedly gathered the defeated soldiers of the Wei army's front camp, he also tried to reorganize the formation.

On one hand, an urgent telegram was sent to Han general Bao Yuan, saying that the elite Qin central army was attacking Wei with great urgency, either attacking the Qin camp or coming to its aid immediately.

Unbeknownst to many, Wei general Gongsun happy made a decision that was completely different from history.

Upon receiving news of the attack on the Wei army, Han general Bao Yuan immediately mustered his troops and launched a probing attack on the Qin army camp. However, the Qin generals left behind were forced to send out their entire force.

Han suffered a major defeat.

Han general Bao Yuan was terrified and quickly retreated to Han's main camp, then sent a message back to Wei's camp.

The Qin stronghold is impregnable; the Wei stronghold must be defended by a small elite force. If Wei holds out for ten days, Qin will surely retreat!

Wei general Gongsun happy was furious upon receiving the letter. He ordered his central army to retreat in an orderly manner while urging the Han army to retreat.

Han general Bao Yuan did not respond, which made him even angrier.

"160,000 Wei soldiers, even against the opposing Qin army of 80,000 fierce warriors, it's a two-against-one situation."

"Could it be that the renowned Wei Wu soldiers couldn't even hold their camp for ten days?"

"This must be because Wei general Gongsun happy was stingy in using Wei's elite infantry. You coward, a mere petty scoundrel!"

Nine days later.

The Wei army, which waited in vain for reinforcements from the Han army, suffered a major defeat.

Wei general Gongsun Xi died in the chaos of battle.

With the Qin army on the verge of a great victory, Bai Qi decisively used the pretext of a generous reward to incite nearly two thousand elite troops from the Qin, Wei, and Han allied forces to block the three to five thousand fleeing Wei soldiers scattered from the Wei camp.

More than a thousand were killed on the spot, and three thousand were forced to surrender.

The resistance the Qin army encountered in the early and middle stages of the Wei camp was significantly weaker, especially in the middle stage.

The Wei army's support was even more inadequate, which resulted in the Qin army suffering significantly fewer casualties than in history.

Seeing the opportunity, General Bai Qi immediately left behind 8,000 lightly and heavily wounded Qin soldiers, which, together with 1,000 of Bai Qi's troops, guarded nearly 80,000 surrendered Wei soldiers.

Then, he rushed through the night, leading 60,000 elite Qin troops to join the main Qin camp of over 20,000. His intention was to surround the Han army camp and wait for two days to rest before launching an attack.

But unexpectedly.

When Bao Yuan, the commander of the Han army, heard that 160,000 Wei troops had been defeated and killed in less than ten days, and then looked at the mere 80,000 Han troops under his command, he was already intimidated before the battle even began.

With the Qin army closing in and the Han army's flank exposed, his heart was filled with dread.

News of the Wei army's crushing defeat spread far and wide as the Wei soldiers fled to Hanzhai, until news of the Wei general Gongsun Xi's defeat and death reached the outside world.

Han general Bao Yuan was terrified, fearing a repeat of the past. He made a quick decision and gathered all the elite cavalry of the Han camp.

Taking advantage of the Qin army's unstable encirclement, he led his light cavalry to fight his way out.

The Han army's commander fled in disarray, and Bai Qi pursued him relentlessly. The Han army was routed, and the Qin army achieved a great victory, annihilating the entire Han army.

The Qin army seized five cities, opening the gates to Han and Wei, and the Qin's eastward expansion was no longer hindered.

However, General Bai Qi, the Left General, looked at his nearly 120,000 surrendered Han and Wei soldiers with a troubled expression.

A rebellion broke out in Shu, the land of Qin, and war broke out on two fronts. The country's money and food supplies were running low.

Fortunately, this is just the Crimson Trial Space.

Accompanied by the sound of horns signaling the end of the Battle of Yique.

Bai Qi's vision blurred.

An elderly sword spirit dressed in ordinary white robes and Qin armor walked up to him, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

You are even more outstanding than I imagined.

Bai Qi replied naturally, "I know!"

The spirit of Wu'an Jun's sword reached out and flicked the clock, reversing time. Scenes of Bai Qi tricking the Han people into becoming cooks for the army began to appear around him.

Bai Qi still remembers that the first Korean village only recruited nine people, but with the testimonials of these nine people, the subsequent recruitment went more smoothly.

His conclusion was that the Han people should benefit from following the Qin people, and ultimately unite as a whole through victory.

The question asked by the Sword Spirit of Lord Wu'an was exactly that.

If all these Koreans refused, would you kill them?

No, it won't.

Bai Qi stated firmly, "Because of war, hunger, fear... they had no choice."

Time speeds up, fast forward to evening.

Wei soldiers stormed into the Han village, raised their swords, and blood blossomed everywhere.

As you guessed, the Han people who ate the Wei rice in your hands were killed by the Wei army.

Bai Qi's eyes flickered. Although he had expected it, witnessing it with his own eyes still made his heart stop for a moment.

This is a bloody and brutal feudal era! To survive, you either adapt or change!

Bai Qi tried hard to control his eyes, not blinking, quietly watching the dying screams of the old, young, women and children being slaughtered, trying to keep his heart calm.

Your heart is beating fast. What's wrong? Are you feeling regretful?

"No!"

Bai Qi exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes regained their firmness, and he spoke calmly.

"I gave them food and a way to survive, but they didn't choose it and chose to die. I can't blame them."

"Besides, everyone here is just an ordinary person struggling in a sea of ​​suffering where survival is a matter of life and death. There is no saint who can save everyone! If they want to live, they have to rely on themselves!"

I hope you can always think this way!

The spirit of Wu'an Jun spoke with an unusually solemn tone.

Remember, never try to carry the burden of everyone's life and death in your heart.

You cannot bear the burden of anyone's life or death, and do not repeat their mistakes!

At this moment, Bai Qi heard the warning from the sword spirit of Lord Wu'an once again in his mind.

Don't kill people you believe shouldn't be killed!

Bai Qi grew increasingly curious, "What exactly is the Blood Nerve? Besides energizing this trial space, what other use does the Blood Spirit have?"

That was created in his later years, and as his successor, you are qualified to cultivate it.

The voice of Wu'an Jun, the sword spirit, carried a sense of reminiscence.

He wanted to train an unparalleled elite force, but the Qin soldiers had already reached the physical limits of ordinary soldiers. Thus, the Blood-Clad Guards were born.

"Blood Spirits can be used to cultivate the Blood Scripture, and also to train Blood Guards!"

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow. Cultivation methods and methods for quickly training elite troops were exactly what he needed right now.

[The Blood Spirit can enhance Qin Ruishi's transformation into Blood-Clad Guards, allowing them to surpass their physical limits, but this will also become their greatest constraint in this life.]

The spirit of Lord Wu'an shook his head.

You can study it at your leisure after you leave.

He continued to manipulate the timeline, the scene lingering on him setting up an ambush with Han soldiers to pursue Wei troops, and then recruiting Wei soldiers to attack the Han army's grain transport convoy.

[Your military strategy is quite unusual. You used Han soldiers as ambushes to attack Wei troops, and Wei troops to attack Han supply convoys. This two-pronged approach allowed you to barely hold out for the past two weeks.]

[But aren't you afraid that their risky military tactics might lead to mutiny during wartime?]

"The Qin army will surely win this war!" Bai Qi laughed. "Afterwards, if the Qin people reward their merits with land, houses, gold, silver, and women, why would they rebel?"

But what if it fails...?

The sword spirit of Lord Wu'an was speechless.

You're so confident you'll win that you've never considered the possibility of failure.

[Admittedly, some Wei soldiers have rendered great service, and they want to return the gold and silver you promised to Wei, which is why they helped you suppress other Wei soldiers and Han people.]

But what if things go wrong? Military strategy is not child's play; failure means total annihilation.

Bai Qi looked at the sword spirit of Lord Wu'an, and now he was finally certain that what was in front of him was not Lord Wu'an's soul.

"He wouldn't ask that."

What?

"During the Battle of Yique, the Qin army abandoned the Han army's camp and launched a major attack on Wei. Do you think General Bai Qi, the Left General, ever considered that he might lose?"

Bai Qi: "He thought about it. He was facing famous generals from Han and Wei, and his enemy was a combined Han-Wei army of 240,000, while he only had 100,000 Qin soldiers at his disposal."

"If he is a mediocre general on the battlefield, he will not have another chance to lead an army on his own."

"Therefore, he must win, a resounding victory!"

"He wanted the entire Qin state, and indeed all the rulers and generals of the world, to remember one thing."

"With Bai Qi in command, Qin was invincible!"
