The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

“When the casualty rate of ordinary elite troops reaches 50%, their morale will begin to decline.”

Old Zhu seemed to be muttering to himself.

His words had barely appeared on the sky when Li Shimin followed closely behind.

"Even my Xuan Tie Army will begin to lose morale once its casualty rate reaches 70%."

"But this Qin army, these five thousand men, have almost all been wiped out, yet they are still so frenzied?"

Can't they see their fallen comrades?

Are they unable to assess the situation, or are they simply unafraid of death?

It seems like neither.

From beginning to end, all they saw was fanaticism.

As long as they can kill enough enemies, those who survive will rise to great heights, and those who don't will have their families well taken care of.

In their eyes, the people in front of them were not enemies, but rather fish and meat on a dinner table!

This plate of fish will either be eaten by them or their family; in any case, it won't go to waste!

This was their sole belief when they stepped onto the battlefield.

Not for any other reason, but solely to gain merit, and to fight for a better life for myself and my family!

No matter how many people around them die, it has nothing to do with them!

"I finally understand why these 100,000 old Qin soldiers, despite their crude-looking armor, are still considered the most elite Qin army."

Their strength has never come from weapons and armor, but from their fearless spirit in the face of death!

From the moment they stepped onto the battlefield, they had only two choices: win or die!

"An army with a casualty rate of nearly 100% is unheard of..."

Li Shimin had no more doubts.

He could only think, "No wonder Qin was able to sweep across the six states!"

With such a veteran Qin army in place, all the feudal lords of the world could only be fish on a plate!

Because these 5,000 Qin soldiers halted the Hu army's advance and even nearly tore the Hu army formation in two, the encirclement and annihilation battle that followed went particularly smoothly.

The Qin soldiers from all directions, regardless of their numbers, exerted a tremendous sense of oppression on the Hu people.

A mere five thousand men were able to hold them off for so long, leaving their most prized cavalry mired in a quagmire.

What about the rest?

Are such enemies even human?!

Once fear is allowed to spread in one's heart, it means that the outcome of this war has already lost its suspense.

Even with 100,000 Qin soldiers against 200,000 Hu people, Bai Qi still waged a war of annihilation!

After the war ended, Bai Qi walked into the village and knelt on one knee in front of Ying Zheng.

"More than 40,000 enemy soldiers were killed and more than 150,000 were captured. What should be done with them next?"

Ying Zheng was very satisfied with the results of the battle, but when he heard what was said next, he frowned.

"Bai Qi, look at this village and the bloodstains. Even a torrential rain cannot wash them away. This is only what we see. In places we cannot see, who knows how many innocent souls of our Chinese nation have perished."

"Look at these, and think about it carefully: how many enemies did you kill, and how many did you capture?"

Bai Qi looked up.

Everywhere there are traces of the brutal killings of ordinary people.

Bones could still be faintly seen in the large pot that had been thrown away not far away.

He gave a silent, wide grin.

So this was the real reason why His Majesty the First Emperor chose him to come here.

He was the most experienced in handling disarmed, unarmed prisoners.

After staring at each other for a long time, Bai Qi lowered his head.

"Two hundred thousand enemy soldiers were annihilated, with no survivors."

Beyond the sky.

When Bai Qi used the excuse of disposing of the corpse to have the Hu people dig a pit, everyone knew what was going to happen next.

Bury and massacre surrendered soldiers!

They dug their own pit, and under pressure from the Qin army's weapons, they jumped into it.

After several volleys of arrows, the Qin army silently filled the pit with soil.

Everything was done so skillfully, as if it had been rehearsed.

The last massacre of surrendered soldiers involved soldiers from the seven kingdoms themselves, leaving countless people with lingering resentment.

This time, however, Qin Jun showed no sign of struggle.

They deserve to die!

During this process, no one on the sky spoke.

It's unclear how much time passed before Liu Bang finally spoke, albeit reluctantly.

"As expected of the First Emperor, from the moment he selected Bai Qi and 100,000 old Qin soldiers to enter the challenge, he must have already determined the fate of the Five Barbarians."

He figured that only the First Emperor had such courage.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't have done something like massacring surrendered soldiers.

Such courage is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Li Er nodded.

Xiang Yu: "?"

"Isn't this normal? An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, they deserve to die, what's so admirable about that?"

Upon seeing his statement, Liu Bang slapped his forehead.

I forgot about this guy.

When it comes to ruthlessness, Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, is second to none!

"Although massacring surrendered soldiers is not very moral, if it were us, we would probably make the same decision as the First Emperor."

Liu Bang could hardly bear to look at it.

I almost forgot about Lao Zhu.

In the last challenge, this guy did just as well as Ying Zheng.

"But not saying it would only make the challenge more difficult."

Zhao Kuangyin frowned as he spoke.

From the most objective perspective, Ying Zheng could have absorbed the surrendered soldiers and then let the Hu people kill each other.

This would minimize the casualties of the Qin army.

At least it would leave a way out for the Hu people who set foot on the battlefield.

Instead, by carrying out this act of extermination and blocking this escape route, it is likely that no one will surrender when they encounter a large army of barbarians in the future.

"You're overthinking it. How many Hu people are there in total? If you take away the old, young, women and children, there aren't many left who can form a large army. After the 200,000-strong Five Hu Allied Army is completely annihilated, how many living forces will be left?"

Liu Che said disdainfully.

"We don't need many more. With just another 200,000 troops, it won't be so easy for Bai Qi to win."

Zhao Kuangyin retorted.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing the heated discussion in the comments section, Xiang Yu posed a thought-provoking question.

"Liu Bang, after the Battle of Suishui, do you still have the courage to face me?"

"?"

"Can you fucking stop nagging me?!"

Liu Bang frantically scratched his head.

After the Battle of Suishui, he did indeed retreat for a long time.

Let alone facing Xiang Yu, he would want to run away just hearing that name!

"So why are you complicating something that's so simple?"

"With 200,000 troops wiped out, do you really think the Five Barbarian tribes will have the courage to regroup?"

Does this increase the difficulty of the challenge?

Just wait and see if any of the Hu people dare to appear before Ying Zheng after this battle, and that will be the end of it.

Do you even understand what it means to have the deterrent power to be forged through fighting?

"So, Emperor Gaozu of Han, after the Battle of Sui River, you really didn't dare to face Xiang Yu?"

Zhao Kuangyin's doubts were like a public execution.

After a long silence, Liu Bang suddenly burst into a tirade of curses.

"Fuck you!"

"If it were you, and your army of over 500,000 was slaughtered by 30,000 cavalry, would you still dare to face Xiang Yu directly?"

"Don't even mention facing him directly. If you can hear Xiang Yu's name without wetting your pants, then I'd consider you incredibly brave!"
