Chapter 925

The Nine Cauldrons barrier is to protect the development of the human race.

In the land of the Jiuzhou, if it weren't for the constant infighting among the vassal states during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, which lasted for nearly ten thousand years.

The number of people who died because of the war is unknown.

After all, war is not just because of deaths on the battlefield.

In the era of infighting, the number of people killed on the battlefield was actually not too many.

Even in a great battle of 100,000 people, I am afraid that the number of people who truly died was not many, at most one or two thousand.

After all, if a great army truly has a death rate of ten or twenty percent on the battlefield, it is estimated that it will collapse.

If it is the top-tier elite, the death rate might need to be higher before it collapses.

But such elites are not many throughout history.

Looking at history, every dynasty only had a few such teams.

In the Spring and Autumn period, the Great Qin Elite, the Wei Martial Soldiers, etc., were the most powerful.

In the Three Kingdoms of the Great Han, many elites appeared, and of course, those famous in later generations, such as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the White Horse Righteous Followers, the Trapping Camp, etc.

The Great Tang might have had even more.

And those who created these elites were mostly famous generals, top-tier famous generals, or that kind of top-tier general who trains soldiers.

For example, the Trapping Camp; whether in unofficial history or romance, to be honest, the main general of the Trapping Camp was not very famous.

But the Trapping Camp can be said to be the most powerful combat force under Lv Bu; even Lv Bu's own Bingzhou Iron Cavalry might not necessarily be inferior to Gao Shun's few hundred Trapping Camp soldiers.

Gao Shun's marching and fighting might be much worse than those famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, but in terms of training soldiers, in the entire Three Kingdoms, and even throughout history, there are not many people who can compare to him.

This great army of the Trapping Camp is extremely prominent throughout history.

It is an existence comparable to the special forces of later generations.

But often such special armies, although it is difficult to collapse, are almost rare in number; once they are destroyed, it is very difficult to replicate them.

And ordinary great armies, once the death rate reaches ten or twenty percent, it is estimated that they will collapse like an avalanche.

And those peasant armies might collapse even faster.

This is why, during each dynasty, although the peasant armies were not strong in combat, they were like cockroaches that couldn't be killed; even if you defeated them once and again, they would soon appear again.

The simplest example is the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty; the Great Ming really couldn't destroy them, and they fought more and more.

The imperial court could clearly suppress them at the beginning, and it would not be an exaggeration to say they were beaten, but the result was that the peasant army fought more and more.

Completely because, in a great battle, not many soldiers were truly beheaded; they all ran away, and then immediately returned slowly.

The later the history, the less often prisoners were buried alive.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the government troops captured thousands or tens of thousands of peasant soldiers; it was impossible to bury them all alive, so some were released directly, and then they turned back.

It can be said that they are endless.

In fact, very few died on the battlefield.

Of course, there were many who buried prisoners alive in history; the further forward, the more there were, the most famous being the Great Qin's Lord Wu'an burying 400,000 Zhao soldiers alive, which can be said to be terrifying.

This is the time with the most deaths on the battlefield in history.

Other wars rarely reach 100,000 people.

However, because of the war, not to mention other dynasties, just take the most famous Three Kingdoms period in history; the Three Kingdoms period lasted less than a hundred years in total.

From the Ling Emperor, the population of the Great Han at that time was at least 40 million.

However, after the Sima clan usurped the throne and the Three Kingdoms became one, the population at that time was only a few million left.

Ten percent did not survive.

In less than a hundred years, nine-tenths of the population died in the war; were they all killed on the battlefield?

Naturally, it is impossible.

Although during the Three Kingdoms period, when the vassal states broke through the cities, there were phenomena of slaughtering cities, it was only a minority.

It would be good if one-tenth died on the battlefield, and most of the rest died of famine.

After all, once the vassal states went to war, there was looting everywhere in the local area; today you loot my foundation, tomorrow I loot yours.

In this way, no one planted in the fields, there was no food, and the commoners at the bottom who were not living well on weekdays were almost desperate.

"Thousands of villages and ten thousand households are like Cold Food, no smoke is seen, only flowers are seen."

This kind of poetry is not imagined out of thin air; it is only after experiencing it that one can write such a tragic world.

A thousand miles of red land, exchanging children to eat; it only happens when one is most desperate.

In history, the Three Kingdoms were chaotic for a hundred years, and tens of millions of people died.

And now this mythical world, the Jiuzhou have been in turmoil for ten thousand years, although these ten thousand years have not been fighting all the time.

But on this land of the Jiuzhou, the contention between the vassal states has never stopped.

How many people died in the ten thousand years of fighting?

It is conceivable how many people died in the middle.

If it were truly unified for ten thousand years and peaceful, then the population would definitely reach a terrifying number.

Now the Great Qin has unified the world, and there are only tens or hundreds of billions of people; this population is not even as good as in ancient times.

At that time, the life of the human race was very difficult, but there was still a very large population; it was just that at that time, there was not much contention within the human race.

The biggest contention was the great battle between the Human Emperor Xuanyuan and Chiyou.

As for later, the war of the dynasty that opened the family world began.

Constant internal friction is also the reason why the number of humans cannot rise; among them, there is the reason for the calculation of the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

After all, if the number of humans really reaches a certain level, even mortals like ants are a very powerful force.

The gods and Buddhas in the sky naturally do not want to see this situation; after all, once the human race's strength increases to the point of being able to confront them, will they still obey obediently?

Of course, the Yin Shang went against the sky, not just the Jie Sect; the Yin Shang went against the sky, which was also the reason for the final defeat of the Yin Shang.

After all, the choice of the Yin Shang was destined to be unwilling by the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

This is also the reason why the Jie Sect confronted other great sects at that time.

At that time, the struggle between the disciples of the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect, and even other immortals and gods appeared, the most famous being the Daoist Lu Ya.

Let's not talk about the foundation of Daoist Lu Ya, at least the cultivation of this person is not worse than that of Randeng, and even a few points higher.

That is a powerhouse at the Quasi-Sage level, definitely an innate divine, perhaps one of the Zixiao guests, who knows.

Plus the later appearance of the Western Sect.

It can be seen that the gods and Buddhas in the sky at that time were not satisfied with the Yin Shang.

The later civil wars of the human dynasty were all instigated by the gods and Buddhas in the sky behind the scenes.

And Zhuanxu, one of the Five Emperors, cut off the communication between heaven and earth, which was actually to reduce the influence of the immortals and gods in the sky on the human world.

If the human race does not have a civil war, the absolute strength will increase to a very strong degree.
