With 50,000 strong attacks on 400,000, Xiang Yu was a god in a battle, and how qin's main force lost
Since Sun Wubingsheng compiled Sun Tzu's Art of War, the strategic struggles in various wars in Chinese history have become more and more intense, and even many miraculous battles have been fought with less. The victory or defeat of many wars is not at all based on the hard power of both sides, but on the judgment of the emergency response and the general, as an uprising general in the late Qin period, Xiang Yu once came to a classic battle with fewer victories and more victories, and determined his ally status in one fell swoop.
The cause of the Battle of the Giant Deer
The war that made Xiang Yu a god in the first battle was the Battle of Julu, the cause of the Battle of Julu was that there were rebels and rebels everywhere at the end of Qin, and then the Qin army began to suppress the rebels, although Chen Sheng Wuguang's peasant rebel army was huge, it was always insufficient, and what really made the Qin state anxious was the old department of the Six Kingdoms.
In 209 AD, Zhang Handan was made a Qin general, and this person led hundreds of thousands of Qin troops to sweep chen sheng, Wu Guang, and other peasant rebels one after another, and more than a dozen rebel troops were all swept away like leeks. Then Zhang Handan led 200,000 troops north to the vicinity of the Zhao Kingdom, at this time Zhang Handan also joined 200,000 reinforcements, 400,000 Qin legions surrounded the Zhao State, although the enemy of the enemy is a friend, there are countless anti-Qin forces in the world, but who dares to rescue the siege of the Zhao State?
Yan Guo and other armies had already gathered near the giant deer, but everyone was watching from the sidelines, and no one dared to take the risk to challenge the anger of the 400,000 Qin army, except for a stunned Qing Xiangyu who was not afraid of things.
Xiang Yu mutinied
At that time, the army of the State of Chu was the King of Chu Huai, who had been left behind by the people, and Xiang Liang was the supporter, and then the Chu people were able to reorganize, but the King of Chu Huai did not like Xiang Yu very much, and the army sent to Julu was mainly Song Yi. Song Yi was no different from the other princes, thinking that a Confucian general should wait for the opportunity, in fact, he was very afraid that the Qin army would not dare to fight, Xiang Yu was eager to kill the Qin army to avenge Xiang Liang, and second, he was dissatisfied with Song Yi as the main general, and then planned a mutiny.
Xiang Yu first spread some unfavorable remarks against Song Yi and made the soldiers in the army centrifuge, and then on the 47th day when Song Yi was stationed in place, Xiang Yu felt that the time had come, and used force to kill the unsuspecting Song Yi on the spot, and claimed that this was not a mutiny, but a secret order from the King of Chuhuai. King Huai of Chu was horrified to learn of this, but knew that he must calm the hearts of the army and denied that there might be a mutiny, so under the tacit acquiescence of King Huai, Song Yi died inexplicably, and Xiang Yu became the new general.
Burn one's ship
After becoming the main general, Xiang Yu rushed to the battlefield and attacked the Qin army at the first time, although there were only 50,000 people, Xiang Yu was invincible, and before launching a general attack, Xiang Yu ordered the ship to be burned, and the grain was burned for only three days. That is to say, if the Qin army was not defeated in these three days, then the Chu army would starve to death even if it fled, which was the most famous broken boat in history, and At the same time, Xiang Yu also inspired the fighting spirit of the Chu army to die and not retreat.
I have to say that Xiang Yu's vision of judging the timing is very unique, Zhang Handan has won consecutive battles, 400,000 troops have no heart at all about the 50,000 Chu army to attack, and then Zhang Handan, who despises Xiang Yu, lost the opportunity, and soon the troops were beaten to the point of no morale, 400,000 Qin troops lost their armor and abandoned their armor, they did not dare to love the battle at all, the siege of the giant deer was solved, the Zhao army that was watching the battle was also heartbroken with the rest of the princely army, and after that, Xiang Yu determined the status of the leader of the coalition army, and no one dared to despise him.
Epilogue: Pit and kill 200,000 troops
Although 50,000 people defeated 400,000 Qin troops, it did not mean that these 400,000 had all died, after all, the number gap was large, the Qin army finally fled into the wilderness, Zhang Handan collected more than 200,000 remnants, and there was still a chance to find Xiang Yu to avenge The snow.
However, two years later, Zhang Handan took the initiative to surrender to Xiang Yu, because Zhao Gao was at odds with Zhang Handan, and Zhang Handan was worried that he would be killed if he returned to the city after losing the war, so he had to surrender. Xiang Yu showed a very fierce side at this time, after collecting the weapons and soldiers, he directly killed the 200,000 Qin state troops, after all, Xiang Yu's own troops were not yet 200,000, with 200,000 troops he was silent on the surface, and his heart was panicked.
