When it comes to the classic battles that have been passed down through the ages in ancient history, they are generally the most famous for the battles in which less wins more or the weak wins the strong. And this reflects the problem that the vast majority of battles are basically easily won by the more powerful side. Because of this, those battles that win more with less are even more impressive.
Xin abandons the disease
For example, today Xiaobian wants to introduce to you the famous Southern Song Dynasty lyricist Xin Renjie, who once led 50 cavalry on the battlefield to attack the barracks where the enemy's 50,000 troops were stationed. Moreover, he also took prisoners who had defected to the enemy and retreated with most of the men and horses out of danger.

Of course, many friends may hear about this kind of war example, and always feel that it is a plot that only appears in American blockbusters. However, in a web drama "Xin Abandoned Disease 1162", which was just launched some time ago, the story of Xin Abandoning Disease leading 50 cavalry to break the enemy 50,000 was reproduced.
In the film, Xin Zhiyi (played by Xie Miao) learned that geng jing, the commander of the rebel army, was assassinated by the traitor Zhang Anguo, when he personally led more than 50 people, directly attacked the military camp where the 50,000-strong army of the Jin people was stationed. Moreover, in one fell swoop, he also captured the traitor Zhang Anguo, who was hiding in the Jinren military camp. In the end, Xin abandoned the disease and led most of the men and horses all the way out and retreated, and successfully returned to Lin'an (now Hangzhou) to behead Zhang Anguo for public display.
However, after watching this film, many viewers always feel that the scene of 50 people against 50,000 troops in the film is too exaggerated. However, in fact, this incident is indeed a historical event that really happened.
According to the Jiaxuan Ji written by Hong Mai during the Southern Song Dynasty, "Qi Yu Qiao defeated the country, and led fifty horses with his bare hands to be tied up among the fifty thousand people, such as a rabbit..."
The main meaning of this description is a rough description of the war, in which the phrase "Qi Yu Qiao defeated the country" refers to Zhang Anguo's rebellion. As for the content described in the latter sentence, it is mainly about the deeds of Xin Zhiyi who led more than 50 cavalry bare-handed into the 50,000-strong Jin army camp to rob the traitor Zhang Guo and retreat. Moreover, Hong Mai also made an analogy of this battle, which means that the military operation commanded by Xin Zhiyi is as simple as prying open a steep rock to catch a rabbit.
Of course, as a literary scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty, Hong Mai always had some exaggerated elements when he described and portrayed the deeds of Xin Zhiyi. However, this also proves that this battle is not an empty wind, but a real battle that took place in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty. As for the battle depicted in the film, it took place during the day, while the historical records record the night raid.
In addition, the overall content of the movie "Xin Abandoned Disease 1162" is still more respectful of history, and its director and screenwriter have indeed done a lot of historical homework. For example, most of the characters in the film are basically named after real characters in history. Among them, Zhang Anguo, Geng Jing, Yiduan Monk, etc., these characters are real figures who have existed in history.

Moreover, when the Yiduan monk and Frost Flower call Xin Abandoned Disease in the film, they usually call him "You'an" (because the word for Xin Abandoned Disease is You'an). As for the Jin people, when they call Xin Abandoned Disease, they basically call him by his first name. From this point of view, it can be seen that the film is still relatively well done in some details.
Zhuge Liang
Because, as we all know, the ancients generally attached great importance to the matter of title. If you are referring to someone you respect, you are often referred to by word. For example, Liu Bei's title for Zhuge Liang is generally "Kong Ming". When you call someone you hate, you often call them by their first name. For example, when Wang Lang and Zhuge Liang "scolded" in front of the battle, it was Zhuge Liang who shouted directly, and even Zhuge Liang was so angry that even Zhuge Villager could jump out of his mouth.
Wang Lang
Finally, back to the point, let's go back to today's protagonist, Xin Renjie. Although, his most famous identity in history is that of the Southern Song Dynasty. Moreover, he is also known as "Su Xin" by the world along with Su Shi. However, in fact, he was also a very powerful general. Therefore, Xin Zhiyi is definitely a veritable all-rounder of literature and martial arts.
