This battle is the most difficult battle in China's military history, with 80,000 victories over 1.12 million, which is a miracle!
China is a country with a long history, and I don't know how many wars have been experienced in ancient Chinese history before we have today's China. Just as the so-called general trend of the world, it will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. Dynastic changes were done in the midst of war, in the form of battles. This battle is the most difficult battle in Chinese history, with 80,000 victories over 1.12 million, which is a miracle. Which dynasty did this war take place? Did you know?
When it comes to the battles in ancient Chinese history in which less wins more, the first thing that comes to mind is the Battle of the Giant Deer. The Battle of julu was a war that took place at the end of Qin. At that time, Xiang Yu, as a nobleman of the Chu State, led the rebel army to join the war against Qin. Xiang Yu led 30,000 Chu troops against the famous Qin dynasty general Zhang Handan and Wang Li led 400,000 Qin troops against Julu. This war is directly related to whether the Qin Dynasty is destroyed or not, and determines the direction of the world.
At this moment, Xiang Yu was still just a fledgling brave boy, by no means the famous Western Chu Overlord. Faced with the enemy's powerful military suppression, Xiang Yu decided to put it to death and live later. As a result, Xiang Yu broke through the cauldron and sank the boat, leaving no way for himself to retreat, and defeated the 400,000 Qin army with one blow. After this battle, the main force of the Qin Dynasty was lost, and it survived in name only. After the war, Xiang Yu collected Zhang Handan and disposed of 200,000 descendants, at this point, the Western Chu Overlord was famous in the world and became the commander of the princes of the world, and Xiang Yu also obtained the supreme status of the world. Therefore, the battle of the giant deer is very important for Xiang Yu, and it is the battle of Xiang Yu's fame.
Compared with the battle of the giant deer that Xiang Yu became famous, the battle of Shuishui was more difficult. The Battle of Shuishui took place in 383 AD during the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At that time, the war of aggression launched by former Qin, the unified regime in the north, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south was a decisive battle between the two countries, and it was even more related to the survival of the two regimes. This battle is very similar to the Battle of the Giant Deer, but it is even more difficult than the Battle of the Giant Deer.
At that time, Former Qin sent troops to attack Jin, and the disparity in strength between the two sides was very large. The two sides met at Mishui, when Former Qin's Gong Rong led 250,000 vanguard troops to open the way, followed by 600,000 infantry and 270,000 cavalry, a total of 1.12 million troops. In contrast, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, only 80,000 troops, led by Xie Xuan, The nephew of Xie An, led 80,000 "Beifu soldiers" with strong combat effectiveness after years of special training to the west along the Huai River to meet the main force of the Former Qin Army. The outcome of the war was unexpected, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty defeated Former Qin with fewer victories and more victories. The Eastern Jin Dynasty defeated the former Qin army with only 80,000 troops, which can be said to have broken through the limit and created a miracle in Chinese history. Although the Former Qin had many soldiers and horses, it was defeated by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which had only 80,000 troops, which was also rare in the history of Chinese warfare, and at this point, the Battle of Shuishui became one of the famous battles in ancient China with fewer victories.
Compared with the Battle of the Giant Deer, Xiaobian feels that the Battle of Shuishui is more difficult. Xiang Yu was a chosen man, defeating the Qin army with fewer victories and more, although difficult, it was also understandable. However, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was weak, but it was able to defeat a million Former Qin troops with 80,000 troops. This kind of difficulty was even more difficult than when Xiang Yu destroyed Qin.
The Battle of Julu and the Battle of Shuishui are both battles in the history of ancient Chinese warfare in which few victories are won more. These two battles are difficult, but in contrast, Xiaobian still feels that the battle of Shuishui is more difficult. The disparity in strength between the two sides in the Battle of Shuishui was enormous, but it was really difficult for the weaker side to win.
