This kind of street fighting in the city has always been the deadliest type of war, even in the later firearms era.
And because it was backed by obstacles, the coalition forces wanted to take over the city. In addition to ripping the entire city to the ground and razing all the buildings into ruins.
There is no other way.
Moreover, this plan is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, and will cost many soldiers. It has always been rejected by military strategists.
However, regarding these, Cao Cao said.
"It's none of my business, just die, it's just what I want!"
Cao Cao, even Zhong Yu, and even the entire Yu Kingdom.
Their purpose from the beginning was not that Qi was too strong and needed to be weakened or even destroyed.
Instead, he wanted to use this war to weaken the strength of all the vassal states in the world, and also use the countless flesh and bones produced in the war to refine 100,000 magical weapons.
By the way, let's train the foundation of Yuguo's cultivation, that is, the 100,000 elite soldiers with internal strength.
And these goals, with the beginning of the war, have been carried out in an orderly manner, and the situation is excellent, and it is almost completed.
As long as this war can continue for another year, the entire Qi country will be reduced to ruins and turned into a deserted land thousands of miles away.
Then, the purpose of Yuguo can be said to be completed.
Although it is impossible to forge 100,000 magic weapons with the population of Qi State, it would be good to have 30,000 or 40,000 magic weapons.
But don't forget that after Qi was attacked, the world could not completely usher in peace.
Instead, they will fall into a larger vortex of competition for interests.
Even if those vassal states want to calm down, develop with peace of mind for a period of time, and restore their national strength. Yu Guo, who was the thorn in the side of the Central Plains, would not agree.
Zhong Yu will definitely mobilize secretly and constantly create troubles, causing all the historical conflicts and interest disputes that countries have temporarily suppressed because of the alliance they formed to explode.
At that time, it will be a life-and-death melee.
At the end of the middle of the sixth year of Emperor Yuan Dynasty.
The city of Qufu in Qi State, which had been captured by the coalition forces and completely under its control, could have been safely taken over and become 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, to massacre the city, the entire Qufu fell into a huge panic whirlpool.
The soldiers and people in the city who had surrendered began to actively resist, and as the resistance became longer and longer, their strength became stronger.
The coalition forces in the city could no longer maintain their original winning situation, and slowly lost control of the entire city.
By late June, seven days after the coalition troops entered the city.
The entire city did not become a backyard garden for them to enjoy as the coalition forces thought. Instead, it became a nightmare-like meat grinding ground for them.
The Qi civilians and defenders in the city originally thought that they could gain a small life after surrendering, so they gave up their resistance and accepted the fate of surrender.
It can be said that the will to fight is not firm and is easily shaken by external objects.
But with the indiscriminate massacre by the coalition forces, these civilians and defenders became desperate and then woke up.
They all took up arms and actively resisted.
They had a very bad impact on the coalition forces, and the recovery of the entire city came to a standstill.
Subsequently, under Cao Cao's deployment, the coalition forces began a counterattack.
One after another, as the orders were conveyed, the soldiers arrived at their respective positions, implemented their own plans, and began to massacre civilians more effectively.
The entire city was covered in corpses and blood, smoke and fire.
Early July of the Emperor Yuan Dynasty.
After more than half a month of massacre and suppression of civilian resistance. The entire city has slowly lost all vitality, and instead has fallen into a bloody terror like a dead zone.
Blood, blood, bright red blood everywhere.
This is the thought of every survivor in the city, whether it is the coalition forces or the remaining resistance forces in the city.
Of course, the city was not just filled with blood, it was all red. How could that be possible? Even if all the blood of the hundreds of thousands of Western Alliance and Resistance forces in the city was shed, it would not be enough to completely dye the city red.
It was just an illusion produced by the extreme fear in their hearts after they had been fighting for too long.
In addition to the blood, there were collapsed houses everywhere, black charcoal produced after being burned by the fire, and weapons that were chipped and broken because they had chopped too many bones.
But without exception, none of them are related to the beautiful words that ordinary people imagine.
Inside the city, nearly 500,000 Qi civilians and soldiers originally survived the surrender, but now only a remnant of 130,000 to 40,000 are left, huddled in some places in the city where the buildings are relatively strong and the terrain is less defensive and continue to resist.
As for the coalition forces, of the original 250,000 troops, there are now only nearly 200,000 left, with a loss of 50,000 to 60,000, a heavy loss.
And more importantly, the remaining Qi forces in the city are still resisting. The remaining ones are strong men with a certain ability to protect themselves, not the women and children who died before.
They have become accustomed to killing and death and are not afraid of it. 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 coalition soldiers to continue attacking the remaining Qi resistance forces, launching a more violent offensive, striving to kill all the resistance forces without leaving any one behind.
This order went against common sense. When the rulers of various countries on the front line of the coalition forces, who were attacking most of Qi's territory, received the news. They all asked to see Zhong Yu and asked him to issue an order to let Cao Cao give up the attack and instead appease the civilians of Qi.
However, Zhong Yu refused under pressure, even though he knew that this would cause dissatisfaction among many people in the coalition and secretly create rifts, causing inevitable disagreements within the coalition, which had been cooperating seamlessly and was happily dividing the cake. .
But so what
Zhong Yu has planned to completely evacuate the Central Plains after finishing his job with Qi State. In the next three or four years, or even within four or five years, he will not directly interfere with the affairs of the Central Plains.
Instead, leave this stage to all countries, and let them continue to stage a life-and-death love and murder here.
In this case, why should Zhong Yu continue to care about the opinions of these coalition forces? It is better to offend them all at once, as long as he can achieve his purpose 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 start the happy massacre.
Early August of the Emperor Yuan Dynasty.
In the entire Qufu City, except for the coalition soldiers, there is no other person at all, and it has completely fallen into a dead zone.
At night, there are always coalition soldiers who can hear the sound of ghosts crying and dark figures floating around.
Within the city, no one of the 120,000 remaining Qi resistance troops was left alive, and all were buried here.
As for the coalition forces, there were only about 100,000 elites left, of which 8,000 were from Yuguo, and their strength was greatly reduced.
When everyone in the world heard about this, they were all shocked and distraught. They all denounced Cao Cao for his cruelty and bloodlust. Their condemnation of him has exceeded that of Bai Qi, the god of murder decades ago. Children did not cry when they heard Cao Cao's name.
Cao Cao also took this opportunity to become famous all over the world, and no one knew about it.
The third update has been completed, and there are still two updates left. Today I want to update with 10,000 words. Let's see who else says that I've always been short and fast, and I won't change it for thousands of years. I am also someone who used to write thousands of words every day. Nowadays, the sword is not old, and its majesty remains the same.
