After the Battle of Yique Longmen, he followed "Bai Qi" to defeat sixty-one Wei cities; then he conquered Yuancheng, an important frontline town of Wei; followed by the Battle of Guanglang City, he killed 30,000 Zhao troops; and later he killed 30,000 Zhao troops in the Battle of Yanying. They conquered Ying City and Yan City, the Chubie capital, and severely damaged hundreds of thousands of Chu troops; then in the Battle of Huayang, 130,000 heads of Wei and Zhao coalition troops were killed, and 20,000 Zhao soldiers were drowned; in the battles of Xingcheng and Yewang, 50,000 people were beheaded, Keshicheng...

Gradually, he changed from a calf who just entered the battlefield to a cold-faced butcher who killed many people.

At least in this fantasy world, his reputation is not much weaker than that of Bai Qi. The soldiers under his command have beheaded about 200,000 over the years.

In Zhang Ji's mind, these heads no longer seemed to represent living lives taken away, but just a series of cold numbers and military achievements.

And here will be his last massacre in this world.

Because this place is called Changping.

Bai Qi accepted the surrender of 450,000 Zhao troops, but years of fighting, especially the three-year battle between the more than 500,000 Qin troops and the 450,000 Zhao troops on the front line, destroyed the grain and grass reserves in the Qin treasury. Nothing left.

Otherwise, King Zhaoxiang would not have replaced Wang Yan, who had been suppressing Lian Po all the way.

There is no food in the country. Letting the 450,000 Zhao troops return home means that the victory of this battle will be limited to the cities of Shangdang and Ye Wang.

This is unacceptable to Qin.

The State of Qin had established the national policy of "attacking people" many years ago. Letting go of these 450,000 unarmed Zhao troops was tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain.

When they returned to Zhao, there was another army of 450,000.

If they don't let go, Qin will not be able to support these 450,000 people, and their families are all in Zhao. No one can guarantee whether they will collude with Zhao to fight back in the future and trap the Qin army to death.

And no matter whether it is released or used, the soldiers of the Qin army will be dissatisfied.

They fought hard in Changping for three years and lived hard just for military glory.

The heads of these Zhao soldiers are military merits. Otherwise, how would they have been able to support their families after being away for three years?

However, "Bai Qi" in the fantasy world seemed to have no hesitation at all, nor did he wait for King Zhaoxiang's "human" picture. He ordered Zhang Ji, as the deputy general, to personally mobilize more than 500,000 Qin troops to secretly surround and put down Weapons of Zhao Jun.

A massacre began at night.

Countless fire arrows were shot into Zhao Jun's tent, and the flames ignited their tent. Zhao Jun's soldiers, who were covered in flames, ran out of the tent wailing, and were immediately shot into hedgehogs by a wave of arrows.

Although some people were lucky enough to escape the rain of arrows and tried to rush to the Qin army to fight to the death, it was in vain.

The Zhao army surrendered and was without food for forty-six days. Although they were temporarily supplemented by food and grass from the Qin army after the surrender, and they ate for several days, it was difficult for them to recover from the weakness caused by long-term hunger. In addition, most of them were unarmed by the Qin army. Killed by sword and halberd.

And this is just one of Zhao Jun's camps.

In order to prevent the Zhao army from surrendering and causing chaos, the 450,000 Zhao army was divided into more than ten camps.

Wang Yan, Meng Ao and other generals and captains were in charge of several Zhao army camps.

Unconsciously, it was already daybreak, and the sunlight revealed the bloody scene, revealing the corpses everywhere in front of everyone.

After the massacre, Zhang Ji took the initiative and left more than 240 young Zhao soldiers back and gave them enough food rations.

But that was not out of kindness. How kind of kindness could Zhang Ji, who personally mobilized his troops and massacred 450,000 surrendered soldiers, have?

They just hoped to use the more than 240 frightened young soldiers of the Zhao army to spread the terror of the Qin army into the Zhao State, so that fear would sweep through the remaining cities of Shangdang.

Five days after the departure of the more than 240 Zhao soldiers, the Qin army marched towards the remaining cities of Shangdang after several days of rest and reorganization.

Fear filled the city of Shangdang. The Zhao army and the former Han army who stayed in Shangdang fell into unprecedented fear. They abandoned their helmets and armor and fled Shangdang, as did the people of Shangdang.

The Qin army easily captured Shangdang City, this time without "Bai Qi" accompanying him. "Bai Qi" who fell ill after the Battle of Changping has returned to Xianyang, and he is now commanding the army.

Facing the eager eyes of the soldiers of the Death Soldier Battalion, Zhang Ji nodded indifferently, everything was so casual and indifferent.

Zhang Ji rode his horse into the city, looked at the ruined Shangdang City, opened his arms, and seemed to want to laugh.

The Zhanlu sword on his waist once again made a sword sound, but the slight sword sound became weaker and weaker, like a dying patient, gradually dying.

Struggling, Zhan Lu rushed out of the scabbard like a dying man's reflection, and stabbed Zhang Ji in the heart.

A burst of heartbreaking pain interrupted Zhang Ji's smile, everything was so unexpected.

Zhang Ji fell to the ground and pulled out the Zhanlu sword stuck in his heart.

The Zhanlu Sword, which was originally as dark as ink but exuded a tranquil and peaceful aura, was not as pure as the rumored noble and unparalleled sword, but it was still a gorgeous sword. However, at this moment, it looked like a rusty and unknown sword.

I don't know if it was because of the rust all over his body, but the Zhanlu sword did not hurt his heart, and the sword tip stayed in front of his heart.

And this heartbreaking pain seemed to make Zhang Ji feel a rare sense of clarity that he had never experienced before.

Zhang Ji, who was helped up by the guards beside him, looked around in confusion. He saw a soldier from the Dead Soldier Battalion rushing into a merchant house and killing the merchants inside. He was shirtless and holding a suitcase. A wooden box full of gold and jade jewelry came out, with a silly and happy smile on his face.

Zhang Ji stared at the dead soldier. There were extremely thick calluses on his shoulders, which were the marks left by years of pulling the wooden plow with his hands and ropes. And his hands, obviously a soldier using Qin sword, have calluses caused by holding long stick-like weapons for a long time.

This soldier from the Death Battalion who had a silly smile but was committing violence against the people of other countries should have been an honest farmer. The thing he was used to holding in his hand should be a hoe for plowing the land, not a Qin sword. No. He should be fighting on the battlefield, let alone plundering here, but he appeared here...

Then Zhang Ji looked at another place, but there was no one doing violence there, but a Qin soldier who was stabbed in the heart by a dagger. Pao Ze on the side sighed helplessly. Everyone knew, This soldier is hopeless.

In this era, although the Qin Army had equipped the army with military doctors, the number of military doctors was not large.

And military doctors have to diagnose and treat according to their military rank. By the time they diagnose and treat these lower-level soldiers, it is no longer known how many of them have worsened their injuries and died or become disabled because they did not receive timely treatment.

Zhang Ji looked at the soldier's face. Although there was a lot of dust on it, he could still vaguely see the obvious childish look on his face.

That was a kid who had just reached six feet seven inches.

In the Qin State, adults were not considered adults based on age. According to Qin law, men over six feet seven inches were considered adults.

Therefore, even if a child is eleven or twelve years old, if he happens to be born taller than ordinary people, he will not be able to serve in the military.

This is a poor kid who shouldn't be on the battlefield.

But although he was pitiful, the cause of his death was that he wanted to commit violence against a woman of noble birth, and was stabbed by the dagger that the woman carried with her.

In a daze, Zhang Ji recalled what he had done in the fantasy world for more than thirty years.

Fear suddenly appeared in his heart. Blood, stumps, broken arms, heads, the dead soldiers and civilians, the grinning "Bai Qi" and the faces of the Qin army officers all flashed in his mind.

What has he done!

Zhang Ji was a little flustered and pushed away the guard beside him.

And as Zhang Ji realized all this, the illusion in front of him was shattered.

When Zhang Ji opened his eyes again, "Bai Qi" appeared in front of him again, and around him was the familiar yet unfamiliar Du Youting.
