During the Three Kingdoms period, the demise of shu Han was the most heart-wrenching thing for everyone, and this country condensed the painstaking efforts of many heroes such as Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, and was our most beloved country. We hope that this country can flourish for a long time and continue to spread the spirit of Liu Bei and others, but it has become the first country in the Three Kingdoms to perish, which is sad! The reason why the Shu Han quickly perished had a lot to do with the Battle of Mianzhu!
Battle of Mianzhu
When Sima Zhao decided to cut down Shu, in fact, many Wei people were opposed, because the Shu Han at that time still seemed to be relatively powerful on the surface, and there were no signs of demise, including Deng Ai, who was also opposed to Shu at the beginning. Later, at Sima Zhao's strong request, the Wei army began to cut down Shu, but Zhong Hui's army was firmly blocked by Jiang Wei in the Sword Pavilion, and the Wei army could not enter the hinterland of Shu Han. At this critical moment, Deng Ai took the risk, took the road of Yinping Trail, successfully entered the hinterland of Shu Han, and opened up the situation!
In the face of the sudden appearance of the Wei army, Liu Chan immediately organized an army to resist, and this time the commander was Zhuge Liang's son Zhuge Zhan! At that time, most of the army of the Shu Han Dynasty was on the frontier, there were not many troops in the hinterland, and the Wei army was a soldier who had been in battle for a long time and fought strongly, so Zhuge Zhan's subordinate Huang Chong suggested that he immediately seize the dangerous pass, use the favorable terrain to block the Wei army, and not put the Wei army into the Chengdu Plain.
It has to be said that Huang Chong's suggestion is very reasonable, zhuge Zhan's Shu army itself is not as effective as the Wei army, frontal combat is likely not to win the Wei army, moreover, the Wei army came from afar, eager to fight a quick decision, but the Shu army has local advantages, it is completely possible to fight steadily and steadily, and slowly drag down the Wei army. To put it bluntly, avoiding the enemy's sharp edge is zhuge Zhan's greatest chance to win!
But what about Zhuge Zhan's side? Because he had been in a peaceful environment for a long time and had not experienced the test of the battlefield, he did not follow Huang Chong's advice at all, did not defend the danger to pass the pass, and blocked the Wei army, but directly commanded the army to attack the Wei army, taking advantage of the fact that the Wei army was unstable and caught the Wei army by surprise. As a result, Zhuge Zhan's own army was crushed, and he could only retreat to Mianzhu!
After experiencing the first defeat, it is reasonable to say that Zhuge Zhan should understand the principle of perseverance and not fight with the Wei army head-on, but Zhuge Zhan could not stand the provocation of the Wei army, and still chose to go out of the city to fight with the Wei army, and was finally defeated by the Wei army, Zhuge Zhan could only apologize for his sins with death, and it was also considered to have saved the face of the Zhuge family!
When the Shu army first fought with the Wei army, it was frightened by the super combat power of the Wei army, so in the Battle of Mianzhu, when Zhuge Zhan decided to attack the whole army and fight a position war with the Wei army, in fact, many people in the Shu army were very afraid, after all, these people were not soldiers who had been fighting on the front-line battlefield for a long time, but temporarily pulled over. Seeing that his men were so afraid of the enemy, Zhuge Zhan was worried that they would escape from the battlefield and affect the morale of the army, so he came up with a "good way", which was to make the soldiers stand in the ditch and bury their legs. In this way, the soldiers of the Shu Army would not be unable to stand because their legs trembled, nor would they run away because they were afraid, causing the whole army to collapse!
In the "Atlas of Yuanhe County", it is recorded that (Zhuge Zhan) entered the Tun Mian bamboo, buried people's footsteps and fought, and the father and son died.
In Zhuge Zhan's view, this practice can suppress the fear of his subordinates, stabilize the hearts of the army, put it to death and be reborn, and force the soldiers to burst out of the strongest combat strength, which is a good way, but in fact? In the face of the impact of the Wei army, the Shu army was still defeated, and the soldiers who were not buried in their legs could still escape, and the soldiers who were buried in their legs could only become the ghosts under the sword of the Wei army!
In fact, Zhuge Zhan's method was very bad, and it had no effect on the battlefield at all! On the surface, this does effectively avoid the flight of soldiers, but in fact? The Shu army was still defeated, and this move was a pit! And from Zhuge Zhan's method, it can also be seen that Zhuge Zhan is actually a relatively inexperienced person in the military field, and he is similar to Zhao Kuo and Ma Mo of that year, and they are all suspected of talking on paper!
At first, Huang Chong, from the perspective of actual combat, advised Zhuge Zhan to guard the danger and not to fight a decisive battle head-on, but as a result, he did not listen and wanted to take the initiative to attack according to the teachings in the book, and as a result, he was defeated. In the Battle of Mianzhu, he did not take the advice of his subordinates, ran out to fight with the Wei army, and also dug a trench to bury the soldiers' legs to prevent the soldiers from escaping. Is it no wonder that Zhuge Zhan will be defeated? It's all on paper!
epilogue
When Mianzhu City was destroyed, Zhuge Zhan asked the soldiers to stand in the ditch and bury their legs, and some experts pointed out to the point: The fiasco was not unexpected! When the morale of the army is low, qualified generals try to boost morale as much as possible, so as to exert the subjective initiative of soldiers, but Zhuge Zhan directly let the soldiers stand in the ditch and bury their legs, hoping to avoid soldiers from fleeing, which makes people feel very strange, where can normal people do such a thing? This is completely on paper, without considering the real situation on the battlefield at all, how can this not be defeated?
