2. There were two large-scale battles between Chu and Han, namely Pengcheng and Gaixia. In the Battle of Pengcheng, Liu Bang led 560,000 allied troops and Xiang Yu led 30,000 elite soldiers. After two wars, Liu Bang was defeated, losing hundreds of soldiers, and the bodies piled up in the river. After being defeated by Xiang Yu, only ten riders escaped, and Lv Hou and Taigong were also captured. In the Battle of Gaixia, Han Xin led 300,000 troops, Liu Bangled hundreds of thousands, and Xiang Yu led more than 100,000 troops. The final result was that Xiang Yu committed suicide in Wujiang, but the casualties on the battlefield were not particularly heavy. Needless to say, the Han army was also a deserter.
3. The battle of Han Dynasty was most important when Wei Qing attacked Xiongnu and Han Dynasty for the third time in Huo Qubing (of course, the time when Dou Xian attacked Xiongnu northward and carved stones in Yanran was also famous, but it was relatively small). In the third battle in Huo Qubing, Wei Qing used hundreds of cavalry, hundreds of thousands of infantry and tens of thousands of military forces to attack the Xiongnu in the north, killed more than 90,000 ranks of Xiongnu, lost tens of thousands of horses and almost wiped out the main force of Xiongnu.
4. In the Battle of Kunyang, the army mobilized 420,000 people, and Xun, headed by Wang, almost spent all his gold and silver treasures as the trench of the army, claiming to be a million people. There are 89,000 defenders in Kunyang outlaws, and Liu Xiu has mobilized thousands of reinforcements in the periphery. After fierce fighting, outlaws killed Wang Xun, while Wang Yi only led thousands of people to escape. After this war, Wang Mang's New Deal power has been eroded, and it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed.
5. During the Three Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were relatively large-scale wars, such as Battle of Red Cliffs's battle at the foot of water in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Guabu's battle in the Northern Wei and Song Dynasties in the 27th year of Yuanjia in the Southern Song Dynasty (450 years), and the battle to destroy Chen in the Sui Dynasty. (Although the battle of Guandu is also famous, the history of this battle shows that there are only hundreds of thousands in Yuan Jun and more than 10,000 in Cao Jun, and the scale is not very large. ) Battle of Red Cliffs claims to be 800,000, but the actual number is around 200,000, and Sun Liu's first-line troops are around 50,000. Although the result of the fighting was Cao Jun's retreat to the north, the warring parties have been divided on how many large-scale battles there were, and the number of casualties has not been determined.
6. Before the Battle of Feishui, the former Qin Dynasty incorporated 250,000 pioneers, followed by more than 600,000 main infantry, 270,000 cavalry and 300,000 soldiers who fought in advance, totaling1400,000 (although a large part of the troops had not had time to enter the battlefield, the battle was decided). The main force of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is 80,000 elite soldiers established with Xie Xuan as the backbone. At the end of the decisive battle, due to the failure of the command, he was chased by the Jin army for more than 30 miles and trampled to death. Then I was cold and hungry, and nine times out of ten people died. Fu Jian himself took the arrow, and only a few people fled back to the north. The Battle of Feishui consolidated the rule of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south and split the north (I personally feel very sorry for Fu Jian, if the former Qin Dynasty unified China at that time, it might be a good thing for China).
7. The Battle of Guabu began with the failure of Wang's Northern Expedition. Later, Emperor Tuoba of the Northern Wei Dynasty raised hundreds of thousands of troops, claiming that millions invaded the Song Dynasty. In Song Dynasty, the disabled soldiers were temporarily recruited and the people were recruited to fight (the number should be tens of thousands, but the battle of Guabu did not actually go through a large-scale decisive battle, and the battle was carried out in several battlefields between Jianghuai and Jianghuai). The Northern Wei Dynasty surrounded Guabu but failed to take the initiative to withdraw its troops, and then passed through Mao. However, the confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties began to stabilize.
Sui mobilized 5 1.8 million troops to destroy Chen in the battle, which was invincible. Chen was destroyed without heavy casualties, and China was reunited after hundreds of years of division.
8. The great battles in the Sui and Tang Dynasties included the first battle of conquering Korea in the Sui and Tang Dynasties (although Tang's martial arts were also very high, each battle was basically on the scale of 100,000 to 200,000, which was not too big). After the first conquest of Korea, Sui mobilized1133,800 troops, claiming to be 2 million, which was several times that of logistics transport troops. After Sasui's defeat, only 2,700 of the 355,000 combat troops at the front fled back.
9. During the Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, there were basically no particularly large centralized campaigns. Except for the Yuan Dynasty, which mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops in the Southern Song Dynasty, other wars were relatively small, and there was no particularly big battle in the Yuan Dynasty. Except that Jia Sidao led a 130,000-strong army and the main force of Yuan Army to defeat in Dingjiazhou, the Southern Song Dynasty was basically defeated, and Yuan soon perished the orthodox Southern Song Dynasty and became the first unified minority regime in China.
10. The large-scale battles in Yuan and Ming Dynasties included the battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang at Poyang Lake, the battle between Chengzu and Jianwen Emperor's army in Baihegou during Jingnan War, the five battles of Chengzu's expedition to Mobei during Yongle period of Ming Dynasty, the battle of Civil Fort in Ming Yingzong and the two wars of aiding Korea during Wanli period.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang fought in Poyang Lake with 600,000 troops of Chen and more than 200,000 reinforcements of Zhu Yuanzhang. In the 23rd year of Yuan Dynasty (1363), on July 21st, the two armies fought fiercely in Poyang Lake. First, Zhu Yuanzhang almost died in an unfavorable battle. On the 22nd, Zhu Jun took the wind to launch a fire attack. Chen Jun was killed by nearly 60,000 people, and Zhu Jun drowned more than 7,000 people. After two days of fierce fighting, Chen Jun was defeated. It is worth mentioning that the Poyang Lake War was the largest water war in the ancient history of China.
In the Battle of Baihegou, the army was led by Li Jinglong, the son of Li Wenzhong, with a strength of 600,000, and the Yanwangjun100,000 (including 80,000 Mongolian elite cavalry under Wang Ning). The two armies fought in Baihegou, and Yan Jun lost on the first day. The next day was also bad. Judy was almost shot. Later, the wind blew down the flag of the loyalist, and the loyalist battle array shook. Judy took the opportunity to ride around and attack the loyalist rear, and the loyalist collapsed. After this battle, Judy mastered the strategic initiative of Jingnan and finally seized the national political power.
The number of Tatar Waci mobilizers in each battle of Chengzu Five Rings was around 400,000 to 500,000, but only the first time was brilliant, killing Tatar Khan in Benya and only taking seven riders away. The second time, the Ming army won a small victory with only 500,000 to 30,000 troops, but it failed in the last few times. Chengzu himself died in the fifth Northern Expedition in Yumuchuan Army. )
Ming Yingzong's 500,000 Ming army was defeated by Waci cavalry, almost completely annihilated, all the army's trench was lost, and the emperor himself was captured, so the Ming Dynasty began to decline and its national strength was weakening.
The two aid Korea wars in Wanli period were the wars that the Ming Dynasty helped Korea resist Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea at its request. The Japanese army mobilized180,000 and140,000 respectively before and after, while the Ming army mobilized hundreds of thousands of people before and after, and finally won after seven years of hard struggle. However, the Ming army also "lost hundreds of thousands of teachers and millions of salaries", which greatly consumed Ming's national strength, aggravated the existing crisis, and finally perished under the double blow of the late Jin Dynasty and the peasant uprising.
