In the splendid history of more than 5,000 years in China, countless armies with super combat effectiveness have been born one after another, and behind each powerful army will often be born a powerful dynasty or heroic great man. So, in this long river of history, which army has the strongest combat capability?
10. Eight Banners of Manchuria
The Jurchen Nurhaci of Jianzhou reorganized the original temporary production and military organization within the Jurchen clan into a long-term formal organization according to the needs of the war. Thus was born the Eight Banners of Manchuria. The Eight Banners of Manchuria were indeed an invincible division that ran rampant in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Fighting against the Ming Dynasty, quelling chaos in Korea, fighting against Tsarist Russia, and eliminating the remnants of the Ming Dynasty after the Qing army entered the customs, etc., created many brilliant achievements. The Eight Banners of Manchuria are very martial, each soldier can fight independently, and has a strong ability to survive on the battlefield. Unfortunately, this army quickly degenerated after occupying the Central Plains, and by the middle and late Qing Dynasty, these Eight Banners of Manchuria army had almost no combat effectiveness to speak of.
9. Eastern Jin Dynasty Northern Province Army
In the early years of Emperor Xiaowu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, due to the strength of Former Qin in the north, when Xie Xuanzhen was guarding Guangling, he recruited Xiao Yong to form an army, so the powerful army of the Northern Fu Army was born. This army had Xie An, the most famous strategist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Liu Gaozhi, the most famous general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who could be described as the elite of the elite. The most famous achievement of this army was the Battle of Feishui. The 80,000 Beifu army faced off against the 870,000 Qi army and won a great victory. The Battle of Feishui is also a famous classic battle in Chinese history in which less wins more. The Beifu Army became famous in the First World War and shook the world.
Why does this army have such a strong combat power? This brings us to the background of the founding of this army. The period of Wuhu Chaohua was the darkest period in Chinese history, and the population of the Han Chinese was drastically reduced under the massacre of Wuhu. A large number of peasants fled south, but Wuhu did not intend to spare the Han. So the Han people began to revolt, and the vast majority of the Beifu army was composed of fleeing Han peasants, who had a blood feud with Wuhu, so they would be extremely brave in fighting Against Hu. When the news of the great victory at the Battle of Feishui spread throughout the Central Plains, the Han Chinese throughout China were already weeping with joy.
8. Daming Water Division
From the establishment of the Daming Water Division during the war against the Yuan, from the beginning of the Battle of Poyang Lake by Chen Youyi to Zheng Chenggong's restoration of Taiwan, the Daming Water Division was almost undefeated. But the water master has always been despised in ancient times, and the same is true for the Daming water master.
At the glorious moment of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He went to the West to spread the prestige of Daming throughout the world; the Great Battle of the Southeast Coast; the complete annihilation of the Wokou fleet in the Battle of Luliang after entering Korea; the Dutch army that defeated the sea coachman at the Battle of Taipeng, and so on, all of which were feats created by daming's marine division. The ming naval division is equipped with hundreds of warships of various types, and its main battle gunship is more than forty guns, far exceeding the size of the contemporary Spanish Armada and the British Royal Fleet, which can be called the world's first fleet. Unfortunately, such a powerful force was later abolished shortly after being incorporated by the Manchu Qing.
7. Guanning Iron Horse
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the famous military expert Yuan Chonghuan led the Guanning Iron Horse and achieved many proud records. Guanning Iron Horse has no less than the Manchu Qing Eight Banners of high-quality cavalry, as well as far stronger than the Eight Banners of firearms equipment, most of its cavalry equipped with fire dragon guns, and hundreds of first-class artillery, can be said to be able to attack and defend, although this army is not as good as the Eight Banners of Manchuria in number, but if the Ming Dynasty can really give General Yuan enough time to expand the army, it will surely temper an invincible world.
Guanning Iron rode on the frontier for decades, from Liaodong to Beijing, from Beijing to Qinshu, from Qinshu to Yunnan, from Yunnan to Burma, and then from Yunnan to turn the horse's head to Beijing to kill. Over the decades, this cavalry line beheaded the mongol kings, defeated the Eight Banners Protector, assassinated Dolgun, pursued Anderson, pursued Li Zicheng's troops, pursued Andi Zhang Xianzhong's troops, fought the Qing Court Before Wu Sangui died, and Kangxi once forbade the Eight Banners to engage in field battles with them, and finally fell with the last commander of the legion, Wu Guogui, who was sniped by artillery in Wugang.
6. Yue Jiajun
The Yue family army led by Yue Fei was the only army with extreme combat strength during the Southern Song Dynasty. Facing the Jin army in its heyday, even if the strength of the Yue family army was inferior, it could still win the battle, and the strength of its combat effectiveness was amazing.
The Yue family army was strictly disciplined and well-trained, "freezing to death without demolishing houses, starving to death without plundering", and the Jin people had the feeling that "it is easy to shake the mountains, and it is difficult to shake the Yue family army". The Yue Family Army is a righteous division that fights to defend its homeland. With good against evil, how can the Golden Man not be defeated?
5. Mongolian Iron Horse
The Mongol Iron Horse was a Mongol cavalry unit founded by Genghis Khan. From the coasts of East Asia to the steppes of Western Europe, from the Siberian tundra to the Red Sea of Africa, the Mongol Iron Horse was invincible and invincible. Invincible throughout the thirteenth century. Such an army is not afraid of anyone. Different from the traditional nomadic army, this army has both super personal combat effectiveness, strict military discipline and advanced weapons and equipment that the Han people are good at, which can not only carry out large-scale cavalry operations, but also equipped with the most advanced artillery at that time, with super long-range strike capabilities. It is really a perfect combination of scientific and technological superiority and combat effectiveness.
4. Tang Jun
During the Tang Dynasty, the army adopted the prefectural military system. It is precisely this feature that allows the Tang army to avoid relying heavily on logistics supplies. Therefore, compared with other dynastic armies in ancient times, the Tang army could go farther, and the Tang army had reached as far as the Caspian Sea region when its martial arts were at its peak.
The Tang army was well-equipped and had plenty of horses, with cavalry as the main mode of combat, but it was also initially equipped with firearms. Offensive and field combat capabilities are first-class. Sufficient national strength and a prosperous economy guarantee the strength of this army.
3. Qin Army
The Qin army was brave and martial, and was crowned by the Six Kingdoms as the Tiger and Wolf Division. It can be seen how strong the qin army's combat effectiveness is. The strength of the Qin Army's combat effectiveness has a lot to do with the Qin Army's military merit system. Under the so-called heavy reward there will be brave men. Stimulated by military merit, it was enough to arouse the soldiers' desire for war in their hearts, and the Qin army also had the strictest military discipline in the world at that time, and the military orders were like mountains, vowing to die, so the Qin army showed extraordinary bravery when fighting.
It was precisely such an invincible army that could sweep through Liuhe, unify the world, and establish the first unified dynasty in Chinese history.
2. Han Army
From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Han Dynasty, the Northern Xiongnu threatened the Central Plains for nearly a thousand years, and no army in the Central Plains could be destroyed. And when entering the Han Dynasty, the end of the Xiongnu came. The Xiongnu encountered a powerful Han army. Under the leadership of Wei Qing, Huo Fuyi, Li Guang and other famous generals, the Xiongnu were completely defeated, divided and then moved west. And it was such a fleeing army that came to Europe and actually stirred up Europe, and the Western Roman Empire quickly perished.
The Huns were called the whips of lightning by the Europeans, so what if they met the Han army! I believe that they would rather meet the Xiongnu than the Han army. The Han Dynasty existed for more than 400 years, and unlike other dynasties, even at the end of its reign, its army maintained strong combat effectiveness. This is incomparable to other dynasties.
1. Chinese People's Liberation Army
Chinese People's Liberation Army is an army born from the flames of war, the most powerful army that has emerged in China in five thousand years. He is the master of might, the master of civilization, the master of constant victory, and the master of the people.
Chinese people's liberation army is different from the armies of previous generations, they have gathered almost all the Chinese excellent qualities and firm faith, and they have almost carried all the proud national spirit of the Chinese nation for 5,000 years! They are truly fighting for the peace and happiness of the people and the peace of their loved ones. This is an army that will always be worthy of our respect, both qualitatively and spiritually.
