The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Chapter 287 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 age of firearms.

And because of the obstacles, the coalition forces wanted to take down the city, in addition to shoveling the entire city into 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 many soldiers will be damaged, which has always been rejected by military strategists.

However, for these, Cao Cao said.

It's none of my business, death is what I want!

Cao Cao and even Zhong Yu, and even the entire Yu Kingdom.

Their goal from the beginning was not that Qi State was too strong and needed to be attacked to weaken it or even perish.

Instead, he wants 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 bones produced in the war to refine 100,000 magic weapons.

By the way, let's train the foundation of Yuguo's training, that is, the 100,000 elite soldiers with internal strength.

And these purposes, with the beginning of the war, have been carried out in an orderly manner, and the situation is so good that it is almost said to be completed.

As long as this war can continue for another year, the entire Qi country will be reduced to ruins and turned into a barren land with thousands of miles of people.

Then, the purpose of Yuguo can be said to be accomplished.

Although it is impossible for Dangdang to forge 100,000 magic weapons with the population of Qi, it would be good to have 30,000 to 40,000.

But don't forget that after Qi was attacked, it is impossible for the world to usher in complete peace.

Instead, they will fall into a bigger whirlpool of interest competition.

Even if those vassal states want to calm down, develop with peace of mind for a period of time and restore their national strength. Yuguo, who is the troublemaker of the Central Plains, will not agree.

Zhong Yu will definitely instigate in secret, and continue to create troubles, so that the historical conflicts and interest entanglements that were temporarily suppressed by the alliance formed by various countries will all erupt.

At that time, it will be a life-and-death melee.

At the end of the sixth year of Emperor Yuan Dynasty.

Qufu City of Qi State, which had already been captured by the coalition forces and was completely under control, could have been safely received and became another piece of cake waiting to be cut on the tables of the coalition forces.

However, because of an order from Cao Cao, the commander of the coalition forces in Qufu City, the city was massacred, and the whole Qufu fell into a great whirlpool of panic.

The soldiers and civilians in the city who had already surrendered began to actively resist, and as the resistance lasted longer, their strength became stronger.

The coalition forces in the city have gradually been unable to maintain their original superiority and gradually lost control of the entire city.

It was late June, seven days after the coalition forces entered the city.

The whole city did not become a back garden for them to enjoy freely as the coalition forces had imagined, but instead became their nightmare-like meat grinder.

Originally, the civilians and defenders of the Qi State in the city thought that after surrendering, they could gain a small life, so they put down their resistance and accepted the fate of surrendering.

It can be said that the will to fight is not firm, and is easily shaken by foreign objects.

But with the indiscriminate massacre by the coalition forces, these civilians and defenders despaired and then awakened.

They took up arms one after another and actively resisted.

They had an extremely bad impact on the coalition forces, and the recovery work of the entire city came to a standstill.

Subsequently, under the deployment of Cao Cao, the coalition forces began a counterattack.

Soldiers one after another, as the order was communicated, arrived at their respective positions, carried out their own plans, and started a more effective massacre of civilians.

The entire city was shrouded in corpses and blood, gunpowder smoke and fire.

At the beginning of July in the Emperor Yuan Dynasty.

After more than half a month of massacres and the suppression of civilian resistance. The entire city has gradually lost any vitality, and instead fell into a bloody horror like a death zone.

Blood, blood, bright red blood everywhere.

This is the thought of every survivor in the city, no matter the coalition forces or the remaining rebels in the city.

Of course, the city isn't just blood, it's all red, how is that possible? Even if all the blood of hundreds of thousands of Western Allied and Resistance troops in the city were shed, it would not be enough to completely dye the city red.

It was just an illusion created by the extreme fear in their hearts after they had been fighting for too long.

In addition to the blood, there are houses that have collapsed everywhere, black coke produced by the fire, and weapons that have been broken because of cutting too many bones.

But without exception, none of them match the beautiful words imagined by ordinary people.

In the city, the nearly 500,000 Qi civilians and soldiers who survived the surrender are now only the remaining 130,000 to 40,000, huddled in some relatively strong buildings in the city, and continued to resist in places with less defensive terrain.

As for the coalition forces, the original 250,000 troops, now there are only nearly 200,000 left, with a loss of 50,000 to 60,000, which is a heavy loss.

And more importantly, the remnants of the Qi State that are still resisting in the city, the rest are some strong men with a certain ability to protect themselves, not the women and children who died before.

They have adapted to killing, and death, without fear. The dead will only make them feel more angry and hate the coalition forces even more.

However, even under such circumstances, Cao Cao did not order to slow down the attack.

He continued to order the soldiers of the coalition army to continue to attack the remaining Qi resistance forces, launch a more violent offensive, and strive to kill all the resistance forces, leaving no one behind.

This order violated common sense, when the rulers of the countries who were attacking most of Qi's territory on the front line of the coalition got the news. They begged to see Zhong Yu one after another, and asked him to give an order to let Cao Cao give up the attack and appease the civilians of Qi State instead.

However, he was rejected by Zhong Yu under pressure, even though he knew that this would cause dissatisfaction among many people in the coalition forces, and a secret rift would arise in the coalition forces, which would lead to inevitable differences within the coalition forces, which were originally cooperating seamlessly and happily dividing the cake. .

But what about these?

Zhong Yu has already planned to completely withdraw from the Central Plains after completing the vote of the Qi State, and will not directly intervene in the affairs of the Central Plains in the next three to four years, or even four to five years.

Instead, leave this stage to the countries, and let them continue to stage a life-and-death love and kill here.

In this case, why should Zhong Yu continue to worry about the opinions of these coalition forces, it is better to offend them all at once, as long as he can achieve his goal of weakening the coalition forces and refining blood soldiers.

So after Cao Cao had the support of Zhong Yu, a big backer, he continued to enjoy the massacre.

At the beginning of August in Emperor Yuan Dynasty.

In the entire Qufu city, apart from the coalition soldiers, there is no other popularity, and it has completely fallen into a dead zone.

In the night, there are always coalition soldiers who can hear the cries of ghosts and the movement of dark figures.

In the city, none of the remaining 120,000 Qi resistance troops were alive, and all of them were buried here.

As for the coalition army, there are only about 100,000 elite left, of which Yuguo accounts for 8,000 people, and their strength is greatly damaged.

People all over the world were shocked and saddened when they heard about this incident, and they denounced Cao Cao's cruelty and bloodthirsty. The condemnation of him has surpassed that of Bai Qi, the god of killing decades ago, and children will not cry when they hear Cao Cao's name.

Cao Cao also took this opportunity to become completely famous all over the world, and no one knows it.

The third update has been completed, and there are still two updates left. Today I want to update the 4D. Let's see who else said that I have always been short and fast, and I will never change every ten thousand years. I am also a person who used to change the number of words every day. Now the treasured sword is not old, and its glory is still there.
