Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, Napoleon, Attila, Genghis Khan, led their elites into a scuffle with each other, who could win? From the point of view of force, Caesar was the first to go out, followed by Alexander, who did not qualify for the championship battle, and could not break into the semi-finals.
In human history, Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, Napoleon, Attila, Genghis Khan, these 6 commanders are all famous and frightening to their opponents. Among them, Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, and Napoleon are known as the "four commanders" of Europe, and Hannibal is also the "father of strategy" and has great influence. Attila, sweeping through Central Asia and Europe, and the fall of the Roman Empire, originated from Attila. Genghis Khan swept through Eurasia and defeated all the fierce enemies of the time, and the force was worth the leverage.
6 strongmen fighting each other is destined to be very exciting, and those who can squeeze into the final are masters in the master. Regardless of the differences of the times, the champion is Napoleon, there is no doubt about this. The reason was simple: the Macedonian phalanx, the Roman infantry regiment, the Carthaginian elephant legion, the Hun cavalry, the Mongol cavalry, in front of Napoleon's professional artillery, could only send heads, and there was no room for resistance.
Hot weapons against cold weapons, Napoleon was the champion, Genghis Khan was also equipped with artillery, but the quality could not be compared with the industrial era cannons, and the Mongol cavalry could not defeat France. Napoleon, on the eve of social transformation, was good at using hot weapons and also good at using cold weapons to fight. Therefore, regardless of the differences of the times, Napoleon is the champion and Genghis Khan is the runner-up, and there is no controversy among them.
Using cold weapons, Caesar was the first to get out, followed by Alexander. Caesar, one of the "first three giants" of the Roman era, was on a prominent footing with Pompey and Crassus. From the perspective of force value, Caesar was much inferior to the other five, because Caesar had no bright spots in foreign combat. Even against Gaul, these tribes that were still in primitive society, Caesar often encountered setbacks.
Caesar's high status was largely due to the support of the Senate, or the control of the Senate, defeating his domestic rival Pompey. As for Crassus, it was mainly because he was too light an enemy, and when he fought against the Sabbath Empire, he was completely destroyed in Calais and he himself was killed on the battlefield, otherwise it would not be easy for Caesar to win. Octavian, Caesar's nephew and adopted son, ascended the throne.
The second person out was Alexander, who exaggerated his record. The Battle of Issus, 30,000 defeated 200,000; the Battle of Gaugamela, 40,000 defeated 1 million, Arian's "Alexander's Expedition" is to bully the Persians without leaving a written history, dead without proof. Infantry- mainly infantry, armed with spears, shields, javelins, and laying down the "Macedonian phalanx", a mere 50,000 people can sweep through Eurasia, which can only be a myth.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Alexander had such a remarkable record, with only 50,000 soldiers and horses, it would be impossible to confront Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Attila, Hannibal and other commanders. The reason is simple, Hannibal is good at attacking from the flanks, and most likes to attack the "Macedonian phalanx" and press the infantry to fight. In addition, the "Macedonian phalanx" defense against bows and arrows was almost zero, and the Mongol cavalry, Hun cavalry, and French dragoons fired a salvo, and Alexander could go home and rest.
The third exit was Hannibal. He was brave and good at war, dared to run long distances, and was unexpectedly attacked, but he had no advantage over Genghis Khan, Attila, or Napoleon. The reason is simple, Hannibal has military literacy, they all have it, and they play with it perfectly. However, Hannibal lacked enough cavalry, as well as archers, to rely solely on hired Numidian cavalry, which was simply not enough. At the Battle of Zama, the Numidian cavalry defected, and Hannibal passed by the victory, and the majesty was no longer strong.
Caesar, Alexander and Hannibal were out one after another, and Napoleon, Attila, Genghis Khan and other 3 commanders competed for the first, second and third places. Among them, the third place belongs to Napoleon, the second place is Attila, and Genghis Khan is the champion. Napoleon couldn't get Attila and Genghis Khan, not that he couldn't do it, but that the next two were too powerful. Napoleon was strong, mainly his generals could fight, and his own combat arrangements were often problematic, and the orders were not clear, otherwise he would probably win the Battle of Waterloo.
The pinnacle of nomadic cavalry, Mongol cavalry, Hun cavalry, deserved. The Xiongnu cavalry once suppressed the Han Dynasty, and Han Gaozu, Emperor Wen of Han, Emperor Jing of Han, and so on did not dare to provoke them. When the Western Han and Eastern Han dynasties were strong, they also exhausted their national strength after countless large-scale battles, and they barely drove them to Central Asia. It should be known that when Emperor Wudi of Han attacked the Xiongnu, although there were many victories and many defeats, the "rule of Wenjing" ended here, and Emperor Wudi of Han had to issue an "edict against himself" and stop using troops.
Attila was a man of great talent, hanging the Slavs and Germans, and the Roman Empire crawled to his feet and paid tribute to them, and the value of force was not to be said. The tactics and weapons used by the Xiongnu cavalry and the Mongol cavalry were almost the same, and as long as no flaws were revealed, no one could win. In addition, Attila and Genghis Khan had many elite soldiers, and even if they fought for numbers, no one had an advantage. But Genghis Khan would laugh to the end and become the winner.
Genghis Khan had an advantage that Attila could not match, that is, his children and grandchildren were as good as clouds, and they were once united and had enough strength in their backs. Shuchi, Chagatai, Wokoutai, Tuolei, Batu, Möngke, Kublai Khan, Hulagu, etc., are all famous generals on the side of the shock. After the death of Genghis Khan, although there were contradictions within Mongolia, it was still able to maintain an offensive posture, and the Western Expedition of Battu and the Western Expedition of Hulagu followed. After Attila's death, children and grandchildren went to war with each other, and the empire came to an end.
In all aspects, napoleon is the champion and Genghis Khan is the runner-up. Using cold weapons, Genghis Khan was the champion, Attila was the runner-up, Napoleon was the third runner-up, and Caesar was the first to go out, followed by Alexander and Hannibal.
