Most of the casualties of the Qin army in the Battle of Changping were caused by Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo certainly had no problem fighting Wang Gong, but the opposite side quietly changed people... You can see the historical records, Lian Po has always avoided fighting the Qin State, except for a few battles, either fighting the State of Qi or fighting the State of Wei or fighting the State of Yan, using Lian Po to carry Qin really failed, King Zhao did not expect Lian Po to be so unbeaten, and seeing that Lian Po was hanged by the Qin army, the State of Qi Wei State Yan Guo may not be happy in his heart, and he still wants them to send troops to help? The records in the history books make people feel that during the entire Battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo's army was besieged in one battle, and 450,000 troops were destroyed. Think about it carefully, millions of people have fought for two years, both sides have records of increasing troops and changing generals, and only the last battle has killed people, and it is certainly not this battle that caused the casualties of the Qin army, but the main force of the Zhao army is indeed reimbursed for this battle
In order to win the Battle of Changping, the State of Qin really fought for its life, first the King of Qin faced with the situation that the front line might completely collapse, and helplessly invited the most unwanted God of War to get out of the mountain, and in the end, it almost emptied the strategic reserve grain of the Qin State, and finally the national general mobilization finally won the final victory, and the result was also most of the casualties, and the country was empty. The main reason for this result is that the Zhao army is also a division that dares to fight and can fight, not without combat effectiveness, the Zhao army has no problem of fearing Qin like a tiger, and before the Battle of Changping, the Zhao army had no defeat in the hands of the Qin army. If it were not for the annihilation of the god of war, Bai Qi, the Qin army would not have suffered more than half of the casualties, and it would have been possible that the entire army would have been destroyed.
Many people really don't have a big idea of ancient population and productivity mobilization, so let me give you a few numbers. There were only 31 counties in the Qin state at the time of the Shang martingale transformation law, according to 10,000 households per county, 5 people per household, the early population of the Qin state was 310,000 households and 1.55 million people, this population was slightly more than the population of Zhao Hanwei, who had just emerged from the Jin Dynasty, 310,000 households were 310,000 adult men, according to each person's life of two years of regular service, there were almost 30,000 people serving in the official service every year, and this is the answer. Yuan Shao seized Jizhou, Jizhou had millions of households, and the four prefectures ruled by Yuan Shao, according to the warring states territory, were the entire Zhao state, most of the Yan state, a small part of the Wei state of Qi and the state of Qin, but in the Battle of Guandu, he also sent 100,000 troops, and also contacted Liu Biao to attack Cao Cao. Later, Cao Cao broke through Jizhou and got 300,000 broken households, and he did not get too many 200,000 soldiers, and he was overjoyed. What is the level of Zhao Guoyan? During the Warring States period, the economic productivity was much worse than that of the Central Plains, and it was not until the Han Dynasty that the Central Plains became a fertile land.
This should start from the military system of the Qin Army, about 1.55 million people in 31 counties in the early Qin Dynasty, according to the rotation system, an average of about 30,000 people per year as pawns, which coincides with the 40,000 generals of the first army in the "Book of Shang Jun". In the later period of the Qin State, more than 5 million people, under the rotation system, 100,000 people were pawns every year, the generals above the five doctors in the late Qin State were commanding 100,000 people most of the time, basically it is certain that the first army was 100,000 people, the Qin State sent Wang Qi to compete for the party, the first army was 100,000 people, the Zhao State sent the general Lian Po to block him, the similar strength was also 100,000 people, Lian Po lost a general of six lieutenants, lost about 50,000 people, Wang Qi lost 30,000 people, Lian Po Yu army of 50,000 people faced the danger of being completely annihilated by Wang Qi, Zhao Wang increased his troops by 100,000 to Zhao Kuo, If the Qin army does not increase its troops, the Zhao army's 150,000 is overwhelmingly superior to the Qin army's 70,000, and if the Qin army also increases its army, it is 150,000 to 170,000, which can be confronted.
As for the Zhao state, there were more than 400,000 households, counting 400,000 total soldiers, 50,000 handan garrisons, 50,000 border guards in the northern region and the Yan state, 100,000 local troops and Border guards in Qi wei, 100,000 troops sent to Lianpo, only 100,000 fresh troops remained, and he could not send more troops. The Zhao state could only rely on the 100,000 troops of the Wei state to break the battle of Changping, and the 100,000 troops of the Jin dynasty were the main forces of the Wei state, and in this way, the father and son brothers were mixed with 20,000 people (when recruiting soldiers, they would try their best to avoid this situation, so as not to delay farming, Xin Lingjun took over the army and retired these 20,000 people), even the Wei state did not have many troops, and the 46 troops of the Zhao state did not scare the Wei state to death. This has already counted that all the people are soldiers, and Zhao Guo has already dispatched half of the young and strong. In China, when the Song Dynasty arrived, most of them were professional soldiers. The Song Dynasty was not like all the people were soldiers before.
