Battle of Haocheng [1139 AD] (3,000 vs. 115,000)
【Time】1139 AD, the ninth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty;
【Location】 Yucheng (present-day Luohe, Henan);
【Strength】Yue Feiyue's army of 3,000 people, 15,000 Jin Wushu cavalry + 100,000 infantry;
【Result】 The Jin army was defeated;
Battle of Wild Fox Ridge [1211 AD] (100,000 vs. 250,000)
The Battle of Wild Fox Ridge occurred in 1211, the place of engagement was Wild Fox Ridge, the two sides of the battle were the Mongol army and the Jin army, due to the unfavorable command of the commander of the Jin army, resulting in the defeat of the Jin army, this battle can be called a decisive battle, through this battle the Jin army was wounded, and then the Mongol army drove straight down, all the way to the capital of the Jin Kingdom, although the siege was not successful, but it gave the Jin ruler a heavy blow.
The Mongols had always been under the rule of the Jurchens, who had implemented a policy of ethnic oppression against the Mongols, so the mongols had a deep grudge with the Jin, and in 1206, the Mongol tribal leader Temujin unified Mongolia and was elected as the Great Khan, known as Genghis Khan.
Genghis Khan began a military offensive against Daikin in 1211.
Daikin adopted a passive defensive policy against the Mongols' active attack, sent Duji Sizhong as the commander of the anti-Mongols, and built a 300-mile-long fortification in the face of the Mongol attack, but in the face of Genghis Khan's concentrated forces at Usha Fort's key attack, Dujisizhong's 300-mile fortifications were in vain.
After the defeat of Usha Fort, Yan Chengyu was pushed to the position of commander, but Yan Chengyu was also a mediocre talent, he abandoned the strong walls of Huan, Chang, and Fu Prefectures, and withdrew his troops to Wild Fox Ridge, hoping to use the dangerous terrain of the mountains for defense, but this strategic policy was not timely because the news was not transmitted in time, so the troops were scattered and could not support each other, so he once again collapsed under the strategy of concentrating the Mongol army to concentrate on attacking.
After the Battle of Wild Fox Ridge, after the Battle of Badger's Mouth and the Battle of Xunhe Fort, the main force of the Jin army was lost, and Yan Chengyu fled alone.
Battle of the Calgarh River [1223 AD] (30,000 vs 80,000)
In 1223, 30,000 Mongol cavalry fought a decisive battle with 90,000 allied Slavic and Chincha armies, known as the "fighting people".
The coalition was beheaded more than 70,000 people, 6 princes were executed, and more than 70 nobles were killed.
The commander of the coalition forces, the old Duke of Michith, fled into the wilderness, and Grand Duke Vladimir led 30,000 elites halfway back, not daring to provoke the Mongols.
Then, the Mongol iron horse rushed into Ukraine, and then seized the Crimean Peninsula, and the countries of Eastern Europe were frightened.
Battle of Mt. Sanfeng [1232 AD] (30,000 vs. 150,000)
When the Jin Dynasty invaded the Southern Song Dynasty for many years and consumed a lot of strength in the war, the Mongols rose rapidly behind it, driving the Jin people out of their hometown in the northeast and forcing them to move from Yanjing to the capital of Bieliang (present-day Kaifeng, Henan) and retreat to the Central Plains.
With the Jin people on their backs, the powerful Mongols launched an all-out attack on the Jin army.
The Battle of Sanfeng Mountain was a major Battle of the Mongols to destroy jin.
In the fourth year of the Mongol Wokoutai Khan (9th year of Jin Zhengda, 1232), during the Mongol-Jin War, the Mongol army and the Jin army fought a strategic decisive battle at Sanfeng Mountain (southwest of present-day Yu County, Henan).
In 1232, the Mongol regime launched a final general offensive against the Jin Dynasty.
The Battle of Sanfengshan took place in this year and was a major Battle for the Mongols to destroy Jin.
The last elite of the Jin army, the "Loyal Filial Army", was completely destroyed in this battle.
In 1230, Wo Kuotai determined a strategy for destroying Jin: he himself led the Zhonglu Army to attack Hezhongfu in Jin, directly down to Luoyang; the Mongol general Hu Chen Nayan led the left route army straight down to Jinan; Wo Kuotai's brother Tuo Lei led the right route army from Baoji to the south, through the southern Song Dynasty, along the Han River out of Tangzhou, Dengzhou, and the following spring the whole army met in Beijing.
In September of the same year, the Mongolian three-way army was launched in unison. In the first month of the following year, the Wokoutai army occupied Zhengzhou, and its forward troops had arrived at kaifeng city, and Jin Aizong hurriedly asked Yan Hedabu to return to the rescue.
Since the Jin did not expect the Mongols to detour through the Song Dynasty, the pre-war preparation was insufficient.
In order to be able to quickly rush to the rescue, the Zhongxiao Army marched lightly, leaving a large amount of grain and grass in the garrison, and only carried dry food for three days on the road.
The Zhongxiao army was pursued by the Tuolei army at The Three Peaks Mountain south of Junzhou, and the original three-day journey lasted for seven days.
In front of it, it encountered the interception of the Wokoutai Department and was immediately besieged by the Mongol army.
At that time, it was a heavy snowy weather, the Golden Army ran out of grain and grass, people were sleepy and lacking, and the knives and guns were covered with snow and ice, and the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
The Mongolian army besieged without fighting, took turns to rest, and then deliberately gave way to a road leading to Junzhou, and when the Jin army broke through from this road to the north, it suddenly launched a fatal blow, and the Jin army suddenly collapsed completely.
Almost all of the 150,000 horses were annihilated by the heroic Mongol army, and the monks Pu'a and Wanyan Chen were captured by the Mongol army, refused the Mongol persuasion to surrender, and were killed without yield.
After Yan Heda led the remnants to retreat into the city of Junzhou, the Mongol army besieged the city, the Jin army was outnumbered, and the city was conquered, and he died in battle.
The Battle of Sanfengshan was a decisive battle during the Mengjin War, after which the Jin army not only lost its elite, but also lost two major generals such as The Completed Yan Heda and the Shifting Thorn Pu'a, and the Completed Yan Chen Monk, by this time, the Jin Dynasty was already crumbling and not far from collapse.
Battle of Clessi [1332 AD] (10,000 vs 30,000)
Although for the French, the Battle of Cressi was not as famous or devastating as the Battle of Agincourt some 70 years later, it was arguably the most important battle of the Hundred Years' War.
The British longbow was one of the most lethal weapons of the Middle Ages, but there was relatively little attention paid to it.
Under the direction of Edward III, a change took place in 1332; he realized that a large number of longbows could defeat a larger army.
For 14 years, he formed the Longbow Corps to train and equip the Longbow Troops at a much lower cost than the traditional aristocratic knights who had previously formed armies.
In July 1346, about 10,000 people landed on the French coast, almost three to one.
In fact, king Philip VI of France at the time was so confident in his numerical superiority that he made a list of English knights, and once they won, he planned to take them prisoner.
The Agincourt terrain played an important role in determining the outcome of the battle, but Crace won only because no one really saw the longbow at work, and its novelty proved to be the decisive factor.
The French, like many other countries, often saw archers as defensive troops and crossbows as the most sophisticated long-range weapons.
However, the English longbowmen could shoot six to seven times as many arrows per minute, which allowed them to quickly kill the French crossbowmen.
Anyone who retreated was killed by advancing French cavalry, which they saw as a sign of cowardice.
Finally, chaos and fear (and the Longbowmen) ravaged the French army, of which at least 10,000 faced death.
(Arguably this was not a disadvantageous victory, for the British had such a strategic advantage, but it shocked all Christianity.)
Battle of Poyang Lake [1363 AD] (200,000 vs. 600,000)
【Time】The last year of the Yuan Dynasty in 1363 AD;
【Location】Poyang Lake, Jiangxi;
【Strength】Zhu Yuanzhang 200,000 people, Chen Youyu 650,000 people;
【Result】 Zhu Yuanzhang won and laid the foundation for the unification of Jiangnan;
Battle of Jingnan (Battle) [1399 AD ~ 1402 AD] (300,000 vs 1 million people)
【Time】1399 AD (the first year of Ming Jianwen) - 1402 AD (the fourth year of Ming Jianwen) lasted for four years;
【Location】Beiping Yan Wangfu to Nanjing City, Zhending, Zhengcunba, Baigou River, Jiahe River, Gaocheng, Lingbi and other places;
【Strength】About 300,000 people of Zhu Di, king of Yan, and about 1 million people of the Ming army;
【Result】 The Ming army was defeated, the city of Nanjing was destroyed, Jianwen disappeared, and Zhu Di was proclaimed emperor;
Battle of Agincourt [1415] (5,900 vs 30,000)
The Battle of Bataille d'Azincourt, also known as the Battle of Agincourt, took place in 1415 and was famous for winning more with less in the Hundred Years' War between England and France.
The English, led by Henry V, defeated the French 1 to 3 numerically, and subsequently conquered all of Normandy in 1419.
Battle of Salhu [1619 AD] (60,000 vs. 120,000)
In February of the 47th year of the Ming Dynasty (1919), 110,000 Ming troops met in Shenyang.
Yang Ho decided to adopt the strategy of dividing the attack and attacking together, dividing the army into four roads, advancing towards Hetuala from four directions, east, west, south and north, and on the third day of March, the four road armies attacked Hetuala after the rendezvous of the second pass.
The specific arrangements of the ming army's four-way men and horses were as follows: more than 30,000 men and horses of the Western Route Army, the main force of this campaign, led by the general Du Song, marched east from Fushun; more than 20,000 people of the Eastern Route Army, led by the general Liu Ling, set out from Kuandiankou; more than 20,000 people of the Northern Route Army, led by general Ma Lin, marched south from Jing'an Fort; more than 20,000 people of the Southern Route Army, led by the general soldier Li Rubai, set out from Yahuguan, and Yang Hao sat in Shenyang and was dispatched in the center.
Among the four general soldiers, Du Song and Liu Ling were able to fight after hundreds of battles.
And Ma Lin and Li Rubai are both related households, and their common feature is that they have a capable father.
Ma Lin is the son of the famous general Ma Fang, and Li Rubai's coming is even more frightening, he is the son of Li Chengliang.
Before the army set out, the stupid Yang Ho wrote to Nurhaci, informing him of the time of his expedition (postponing the departure time in an attempt to confuse Nurhaci), the location of the expedition and the direction of attack.
Yang Ho did not do this because he was bribed by Nurhaci, but because he was trying to intimidate and deceive Nurhaci.
Unfortunately, Yang Ho did not achieve his goal at all, but instead leaked the military secrets of the Ming Army.
Nurhaci sent a large number of sentries to scout the Ming army. Nurhaci received the news that the Ming army was marching from the south and west, and he concluded that the Ming army's western route army was the main force, so he formulated a strategy to deal with the Ming army: "I will only go all the way."
Nurhaci personally led an army of 60,000 and prepared to meet the Ming army's Western Route Army.
In order to compete for merit, Du Song did not carry out Yang Ho's order to meet at Erdaoguan, and on the first day of March, he led the Western Route Army to Salhu.
Juniper left 20,000 men stationed at Salhun, and the general Gong Niansui was stranded in Hun'emu due to the slow march with heavy weights. Juniper took off his armor and led 10,000 horses to brave the cold to cross the Hun River and storm the Jilin Cliff on the other side of the river.
Nurhaci ordered his eldest son Daishan to lead 15,000 men to reinforce Jilin Cliff, and personally led 45,000 people to attack the Ming army's Salhu camp, although the Ming generals fought bravely, they were helplessly outnumbered, and the Salhu camp was breached.
Nurhaci immediately mobilized all his forces to besiege the Ming army under the Cliff of Jilin Province, and Du Song heroically killed the enemy, and finally was killed by more than ten arrows.
The Western Route Army was almost completely annihilated.
At this time, Ma Lin's Northern Route Army had reached Shangjian Cliff, only more than 30 miles away from Salhu, and they soon received news of the collapse of the Western Route Army.
Ma Lin ordered Pan Zongyan and others to garrison Feifen Mountain, and then sent reinforcements to support the Gong Niansui department of the Western Route Army stationed in Hun Emo, and the three armies formed a glyph-shaped defense system, and Ma Lin also sent people to dig three trenches around the camp, a large number of firearms and cavalry were arranged outside the trenches, and inside the trenches were arranged soldiers to rely on the trenches for defense.
It should be said that as a civilian officer, Malin has such a performance on the battlefield, which is already qualified, but unfortunately he is facing the excellent military expert Nurhaci, and it is far from enough to be qualified.
On the second day of March, Nurhaci first led his troops to attack Gong Niansui's army, and then he concentrated 60,000 troops and rushed to Malin's military camp, and the outnumbered Ming army was defeated, except for MaLin escaping with a small number of cavalry, the rest were all slaughtered by Houjin soldiers.
The remaining Pan Zongyan's troops, although the generals were encouraged by Pan Zongyan, bravely killed the enemy, but they were helplessly insufficient, and eventually the entire army was destroyed.
The commander of the Eastern Route Army, Liu Ling, was wearing small shoes by Yang Hao this time because of his feud with Yang Ho on the Korean battlefield.
On this expedition, most of the soldiers assigned by Yang Hao to Liu Ling were old, weak, sick and disabled, and their weapons and equipment were also very rudimentary.
The Eastern Route Army's route of advance was the farthest and the most difficult to follow, and despite the many difficulties faced, Liu Ling, who was loyal to the country, did not flinch.
Under the leadership of Liu Ling, the Eastern Route Army conquered more than a dozen enemy camps in succession, and morale was high.
On the third day of March, the Eastern Route Army advanced to Abdaligang, about seventy miles from Hetuala.
At this time, Liu Ling did not know the news of the collapse of the Ming army.
Nurhaci sent people disguised as Juniper's own soldiers, armed with ling arrows, to Liu Ling's camp, who falsely claimed that Du Song had led the Western Route Army to Hetuala and asked Liu Ling to quickly enter the army and attack Hetuala.
Liu Ling was worried that Juniper had robbed the head of the work, and he was afraid that he had delayed the time of meeting the division, and would be retaliated by Yang Hao in the future, so he urged the whole army to advance lightly.
The Houjin army, commanded by Nurhaci's eldest son Daishan, set up an ambush at Abdarigan, where the roads were rough and narrow, which was very conducive to ambush warfare.
Liu Ling was anxious to enter the army and neglected to take precautions, and on the fourth day of March, after leading the Eastern Route Army into Daishan's ambush circle, he was stopped by the Houjin cavalry and cut into two pieces, and the head and tail could not take care of each other.
In the last moments of his life, Liu Ling maintained the heroism of a soldier, he was shot by a random arrow in the left arm, and soon after his right arm was slashed again, but he still fought to the death without flinching, in the melee, his face was slashed once, and then half of his cheek was cut off, but he brandished his weapon, rushed left and right, and died heroically after killing dozens of Houjin soldiers, and then his Eastern Route Army was also annihilated.
Li Rubai of the Southern Route Army, the route is the closest, the road is easy to walk, but his march is slow, the first four days of March, the Southern Route Army reached the Tiger Barrier, the fifth day of March, Li Rubai received Yang Ho's order to retreat, when he withdrew, was found by 20 sentries of Houjin, they bluffed, shouted loudly from a high place, and held their bows as if there were a large army ambushed.
At this time, Li Rubai's army was like a frightened bird, they rushed to escape for their lives, and as a result, they trampled on each other, resulting in more than a thousand deaths and injuries.
The five-day Battle of Salhu ended in this way.
The Ming army was about twice as strong as Houjin, with about 45,000 casualties and only a few thousand casualties on houjin.
Battle of Ningyuan [1628 AD] (10,000 vs 60,000)
【Time】1626 Tomorrow Tomorrow Kai six years;
【Location】 Ningyuan (present-day Xingcheng, Liaoning);
【Troop strength】Ming Yuan Chonghuan more than 10,000 people, hou Jin Nur Hachi 60,000 people;
【Result】 The Ming army won, and Hou Jin lost.
Battle of Flangstadt (1706 AD) (9,000 vs 20,000)
Although not as decisive and impressive as the Battle of Narva, the Battle of Flostad and the subsequent Swedish victory were their best and final victories in the Great Northern War, in which King Charles XII led the Swedish army to defeat a Russian army nearly four times the size.
The Swedish army was besieged by three different countries (Russia, Denmark-Norway and Saxony-Poland), and their leaders felt the weakness of the young Swedish king, and the Swedish army achieved several initial successes.
One of these successes took place in 1706 near the western Polish town of Flaustadt.
Eighteen thousand Saxons, Russians, and their mercenaries gained a foothold not far from the outskirts of the town, and nine thousand Swedes did the same.
The Swedish general admitted his superiority in cavalry, close to three to one, and used this to his advantage.
With pincer movements and the typical attack of a Swedish general, he sent his cavalry to encircle the enemy's flanks until they reached the central rear of the main offensive line.
The Saxon and Russian armies collapsed at this point, leading to a rout in which only about 1,000 Swedes were killed or captured, and nearly 16,000 enemy troops were also completely defeated.
