The Qin and Han armies are the fastest blades in the history of China, and the history of the Qin army after the unification is relatively short, and the super combat effectiveness of the Central Plains Dynasty has perfectly exploded on the Han army. The Western Han Dynasty Huo went to the disease and swept through the desert north, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger; the Eastern Han Dynasty Duan Yi Han arrived at Baihu, violently beheading the two Qiang like wolves. How powerful is Duan Hao? Known as the Eastern Han Dynasty, he fought 180 times without defeat, and like Huo Fuyi, he was the best fierce general in the world.
From the "one Han low five hu" can get a glimpse of the peak combat effectiveness of the Han army. How did this sentence come about? Chen Tang angrily beheaded the Northern Xiongnu Zhi Shan Yu, leaving behind "Those who offend my strong Han, although they are far away, they will be punished".
Vernacular translation: In the past, hu soldiers had five people against a Han army, because the Hu people had bad weapons, and now they learned a lot of Han methods of making weapons. But it still needed three people to reach a Han soldier.
Chen Tang's mouth Hu Bing, mainly refers to the western region of Wusun state army, not Xiongnu or Xianbei, the Xiongnu have the High Ancestor of Mao Dun trapped in Baideng City, there are also Li Ling and Zhang Qian defeated, Chen Tang will not use this analogy.
The overall Han army is unstoppable, typical of "external strength in the middle of the cadre", later generations called "the country is destroyed by the weak, only the Han died in the strong". This means that although the two Han Dynasties were corrupt internally and the dynasties were chaotic, they were always fierce in their wars with foreign tribes, other dynasties were too weak to be destroyed, and the Han Dynasty was too strong to destroy the country.
It is true that the Three Kingdoms fought in the dark, but in the Hu people and the Southwest Yi, whether Cao Wei Shu Han or Eastern Wu was not soft, later generations evaluated that the Han Emperor had no foreign breed.
How could the han army's combat effectiveness be so strong? The main blood and armament formed a complete crush on the Hu people, and the techniques and tactics were even more clever.
In terms of offensive weapons, the sharp ring head knife is high carbon steel, and the European and Hu people have just entered medium carbon steel; the high-powered bow and crossbow is also equipped with Wangshan (aiming equipment); the rhubarb crossbow cannon can fire 30 kg of crossbow bullets (ten stones), and the hard destruction is 240 steps away. Long fighting weapons such as yu, halberd, beryllium, and hafnium are first-class, and the armor is a fish scale armor made of more than a thousand iron leaves.
Han Dynasty ring first knife
After the Western Han Dynasty severely damaged the Xiongnu, the imperial power was transferred to the hands of Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the rebellion of Wang Mang at the end of the Western Han Dynasty caused the Qiang people to become a major problem, and Ma Yuan put down the rebellion against the Western Qiang for the first time.
"Outline of Chinese History", the Eastern Han Dynasty fought against the Qiang for 22 years, spent 32 billion yuan on military expenses, and eventually overwhelmed the finances, resulting in a large-scale peasant uprising.
Just a few years later, a rebellion was launched by Yaodang Qiang, and Dou Gu went out on a campaign to quell the rebellion again. Although the rebellion was temporarily quelled, but the symptoms were not cured, the Qiang and the Xiongnu were the same as the brown candy, suppressed today, and reversed tomorrow, which made the Han upset.
Ma Chao's Qiang cavalry
After Duan Ji's military generals, but not after the famous men, the ancestral largest official, Xiyu Duhu (Duan Huizong). Duan Hao, who was born with divine power and was good at riding and shooting, went from filial piety to imperial tomb order (shou mausoleum), and the front has been useless.
After the transfer of the Tuolian to the field troops, Duan Hao quickly emerged from two wars, one was the Northeast War, and the other was the suppression of the peasant uprising in Shandong. In 159 AD, Duan Hao was appointed as a lieutenant of the Qiang Dynasty. The Lieutenant of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not a minor official, the Eighth Lieutenant of the Han Army, Hu Ben was in charge of the chariot troops, the archers were responsible for the crossbowmen, and the Lieutenants of the Qiang and Pengji Were the highest administrative officers stationed in ethnic minority areas.
Just after taking office, he encountered 8 Qiang tribes joining forces, and Duan Hao was waiting for this opportunity. The Han army ironclad cone-shaped contract into the enemy line, Duan Ying's left knife and right spear, unstoppable, blood splattered, the Han army beheaded 2600 people, captured more than 10,000 people, and suffered 15 casualties on their own side.
In 160 AD, the Qiang soldiers besieged Zhangye, and the two sides repeatedly fought on the wide Gobi Desert, Duan Hao killed more than 70 people in a row, and the Han army gathered and scattered when it was riding, and the ground was covered with Qiang corpses. At dusk, the heavy crossbow troops of the Han army began to weave a rain of arrows, and a large number of Qiang people's light horses were nailed to the ground by the company of people and horses.
The great battle lasted for dozens of days, and the Han army always attacked unabated, and Hu Qiang retreated while fighting. Until the defeat to the Jishi Mountain, the 2,000-mile road was stained red by the blood of the Qiang people.
Since you are doing it against each other, don't blame me for doing things badly. Duan Ji did not stop for a second, ordered 5,000 prisoners to be beheaded on the spot, and then launched a charge against Shicheng Qiang and Baishi Qiang, and made a large number of Qiang women widows.
Such a brilliant victory, but was impeached by incompetent people for "killing people like grass" and "brutality is heinous". In the fourth year of the Reign of Emperor Heng of Han (161), the God of War was imprisoned. For example, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Ma Fang, fought a victorious battle and was played by Qiu Luan, and Yu Qian was beheaded.
Encountered King Wen's lecture on etiquette, and met the sword soldiers. Is it difficult to subdue people with virtue by endlessly burning and looting nomadic cavalry? Pedantic Huan Emperor.
When the big prison came out, Duan Hao was snubbed for four years, until Bai Lanqiang had laid down half of Liangzhou, and the imperial court thought of a super killer on the bench.
Duan Hao put on his armor again, and 10,000 Han troops rushed into the 30,000 Qiang army on iron horses like a storm, and Duan Hao led more than a dozen people to tear apart the enemy iron guard camp and behead the Qiang commander. In this battle, 4,000 people were beheaded and more than 8,000 people were captured.
In 165, Duan Hao led the Han army to start a series of hard destructions against Zhuqiang, winning more than 30 consecutive battles, cutting off 23,000 heads, capturing 60,000 enemies, and breaking 7 tongtian spears in his hands. As for the issue of prisoners of war, the imperial court began to turn a blind eye and "pay no attention to military food."
The Western Qiang tribes were as docile as cats, most of them were invited to descend, the temple was very happy, And Duan Ji was awarded the title of capital of xianghou, and there were five hundred food.
Duan Jiao's word through the heavens spear
In 167 AD, the Western Qiang Zedan department raised a knife again, Duan Ying was completely on fire, the Ten Thousand Armies violently beheaded Zedan, ordered not to live, more than 3,000 prisoners of war were sentenced to death according to law, and the Xiqiang rebellion was completely put down.
Subsequently, Duan Hao aimed at Dongqiang again, used his blade to reason, killed with an iron fist, and pacified Dongqiang for two years.
Iron-blooded Qiang, Duan Hao fought 180 battles, annihilated the enemy in a huge number, and the name of "rebirth and white rise" is worthy of the name. This is not the most shocking, the most shocking is the high-density battle corpse mountain blood sea, the Han army only killed 412 people, one Han to Baihu.
Liu Zhi: The Eastern Qiang dynasty has been plagued, the jaw is in front of the Chen, the Hu Is destroyed one by one, the bloody battle has been fought for several years, and the fierce and ugly have run through... Wash the snow for a hundred years, lianshi jiazhi... Cai Yong: In the past, he was a good general, and Xiao Yong was fearless of the Western Qiang for more than ten years. Lü Qiang: Former Tai Wei Jie, Wu Yong Guanshi, Li Er Lord, Xun Lie Du Zhao. Chen Shou: Tai Wei Duan Hao, extremely strong in force, Wei Zhen Xitu. Fan Ye: Chasing the Two Hans, Shuma County Peak. Du Mu: Zhou you have Qi Taigong, Qin has Wang Qi, the two Han dynasties have Han Xin, Geng Zhong, Duan Hao, Wei has Sima Yi, Wu has Zhou Yu, Shu Xiangyu, Jin has Yang Hu...
In the third year of Jianning (170), Duan Hao entered the dynasty and successively served as Shizhong (侍中), Jinwu (陳金吾), Henan Yin (河南尹), and Si Li (司里校尉), and twice as a lieutenant. In the second year of Guanghe (179), he was implicated in the Wang Fu case and committed suicide in prison.
Lü Qiang, the attendant, sued Duan Gongxun and moved Emperor Ling and invited him to the Wu Temple. Such a cattle god of war was banned by some history books, and Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian" took the lead in firing cannons:
The meaning is obvious, although your Duan Ji is unparalleled in merit, it is not worthy of praise, and the cruelty is despised by gentlemen.
What are these values? Where are you gentlemen when people are in turmoil and lives are destroyed? Only by defeating the enemy and destroying its war resources and potential can the country be safe and the people can still live without worry. How is it different from a gentleman's benevolence to deny blood and life, to talk about tenderness, and to sell doctrines? shameless.
