Oda Nobunaga was one of the famous "Three Masters of the Sengoku" in Japanese history and the most powerful daimyō in the middle of the Sengoku period, who destroyed the Ashikaga clan Muromachi shogunate during his reign, laying the foundation for the later unification of Japan by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu. The Oda clan was originally the daimyō of the Owari Kingdom's "Shimo Kagami", and after Oda Nobunaga succeeded the governor, he defeated the powerful Imakawa Yoshimoto in the Battle of Barrel Narrow, and the name shocked Japan, so if the Barrel Narrow Battle is placed in Chinese history, what kind of war is it equivalent to?
The cause of the Battle of the Barrel Narrow Wasu was that Imakawa Yoshimoto had to pass through the jurisdiction of Oda Nobunaga of Owari Kuni, if he wanted to lead his troops to "Shangluo", and the two sides fought fiercely. Luo means Luoyang, shangluo is to lead troops into Kyoto, is the goal pursued by the warring states daimyo, similar to the hegemonic princes in Chinese history. Imagawa Yoshimoto mobilized the three kingdoms of Suruga, Yuanjiang, and Mikawa, gathering a total of 25,000 people, falsely claiming 40,000 people, and killing Ben Owaga. Previously, Imagawa Yoshimoto formed an alliance with the Takeda clan and the Hojo clan, and the three borders were temporarily suspended, and Imagawa Yoshimoto was able to concentrate on "Shangluo".
However, he met Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga had just eliminated Owari's enemies at home and abroad, and when he wanted to attack Mino Kingdom, Imagawa Yoshimoto suppressed the border with a large army, and Oda Nobunaga had to stay in Owari to organize a defense. Owari Kuni nian tribute is only 150,000 stones, according to the 10,000 stones to recruit 300 soldiers, Oda Nobunaga smashed pots and sold iron to mobilize the whole country can only gather less than 5,000 people, in addition to the soldiers defending the surrounding countries, Oda Nobunaga can draw about 3,000 troops to fight against imagawa Yoshimoto.
Oda Nobunaga built five fortresses (forts) under Minghai Castle and Ōtaka Castle to delay the advance of Imakawa Yoshimoto's troops. By the time Oda Nobunaga led the 2,000-strong army to the front, two of the five guns had been removed by the Imagawa Army, and the situation was very critical. At this time, Oda Nobunaga received information that Imagawa Yoshimoto was in the Barrel Narrow Mountain, which was located between the barrel narrow mountain and the big high castle, and the road between the low hills was narrow, so it was called "barrel narrow room".
Due to the hot weather in May in Owari Kingdom, Imagawa Yoshimoto was tired and hot, so he rested at The Barrel Panma Mountain. It just so happens that the villagers and monks in the vicinity "eat the pot pulp" to reward the Imakawa Army, Imakawa Yoshimoto can not help but be a little proud, these monks and villagers in their own country to welcome the behavior of foreign daimyo, China has a resounding collective name - public knowledge. The slow attack of the Imagawa Army and the stay of Imagawa Yoshimoto in the Jedi gave Oda Nobunaga the best fighter to launch a surprise attack, and Oda Nobunaga had no chance of victory in normal field battles.
Just as Oda Nobunaga was sneaking to mt. Kasama with 2,000 soldiers, it suddenly rained heavily and Oda Nobunaga launched a surprise attack on the Imagawa Army. The Imagawa army was in a headwind, and the fierce winds and raindrops hit the Imakawa army without opening its eyes, and it was unable to exert its numerical superiority in a narrow area, and the Imakawa army was scattered and defeated. Imagawa Yoshimoto himself was killed, and the Imagawa clan was devastated ever since.
So what is the level of barrel and narrow battle in Chinese history? Three thousand against twenty-five thousand also won, if only in terms of the scale of the war, the number of two sides in the barrel and narrow joint battle was almost the mainstream of the Spring and Autumn Period in China, or during the Period of The Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and other divided regimes. Judging by the tactics of the barrel and narrow battle with fewer victories and more surprise attacks, the Battle of Shuishui is similar.
During the Sixteen Kingdoms period, Former Qin Led about 1.12 million troops to the south to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in fact, 300,000 vanguard troops arrived at the front, and the Eastern Jin general Xie Xuan led 80,000 Northern Fu troops to meet the enemy. The two sides lined up on the water, and Zhi resolutely decided to retreat, allowing the Jin army to cross the river for a decisive battle, and the Former Qin army could "attack it in half a crossing.". When the Former Qin army moved backwards, Zhu Xu, Zhang Tianxi, and others shouted behind the battle, "The Qin army on the front line has been defeated!" ", Former Qin's feet were suddenly in chaos. In November, the river was not deep, and Xie Xuan took the opportunity to command the Jin army to wade into shallow water to cross the river and defeat Former Qin.
Judging from the results of the war, the Battle of Salhu in the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty also had many similarities with the Battle of barrel and pan. Before the war, the Ming Dynasty looked more powerful, with a total of 200,000 people in the four-way army; Nurhaci's total possessions were only 60,000 people, but the outcome of the war was just the opposite. Nurhaci concentrated his forces to attack one of the routes, and within five days he broke through three Ming armies, changing the offensive and defensive posture of the Ming and Qing wars.
The most similar to the battle of The Barrel Gap is the Battle of Guandu between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. In contrast, Oda Nobunaga 3,000 vs. Imakawa Yoshimoto 2.5 million, Cao Cao 20,000 vs. Yuan Shao 110,000; at the beginning of the war, Cao Cao won by sneaking into Yuan Shao's grain road, and Oda Nobunaga won by sneaking into Imakawa Yoshimoto's own team; after the war, Yuan Shao and Imakawa Yoshimoto's clique declined, while Cao Cao and Oda Nobunaga began to shine and became the strongest forces of their respective eras.
However, the Battle of Guandu took place in 199 AD, and the Battle of barrel narrow space occurred in 1560, considering that the Japanese have a considerable understanding of Chinese culture and are very fond of "Three Kingdoms", it is entirely possible that Oda Nobunaga borrowed from the Battle of Guandu. In fact, this is not surprising in Japan during the Sengoku period, When Tokugawa Ieyasu was beaten into incontinence by Takeda Shingen and sang the "Empty Castle Plan". However, Takeda Shingen, who used the "Wind Forest Volcano" as his military flag and was familiar with the "Art of War of Sun Tzu", really did not enter Hamamatsu Castle, otherwise Tokugawa Ieyasu would probably have died at the hands of Takeda Shingen, and the Tokugawa shogunate that lasted for more than 200 years in Japan would not exist.
So who is in favor of and who opposes the similarity between the Battle of Barrel and the Battle of Guandu? Finally, ask for attention!
