Is the great uprising at the end of the Qin dynasty, Xiang Yu led tens of thousands of Chu army (later warlords and rebels also participated in the war), and Zhang Han and Wang Li of the Qin dynasty led 400,000 Qin Jun main forces to carry out Armageddon in Julu (now Pingxiang, Hebei).
This is also one of the most famous battles in the history of China. Xiang Yu burned his bridges, took the lead in capturing Qin Jun with dauntless spirit, and drove the armies of the vassal States to finally destroy the King of Qi, and the whole army was wiped out.
A few months later, 200,000 Zhang Han people and Qin soldiers were forced to surrender. Since then, Xiang Yu has established a leading position in various rebel armies. After World War I, the main force of the Qin Dynasty was lost, and it existed in name only.
2. Battle of Guandu
It was one of the "three major battles" in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was also one of the famous battles in China history. In the fifth year (200 years) of Jian 'an, Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao and Yuan were at loggerheads in Guandu (now northeast of Zhongmou, Henan).
Launch a strategic decisive battle here. Cao Cao raided Yuan Jun's granary in Wu Chao (now Fengqiu West, Henan Province), and then defeated Yuan Jun's main force. This battle laid the foundation for Cao Cao's unification of northern China.
3. Battle of Red Cliffs
Battle of Red Cliffs refers to the battle between Sun Quan and Liu Bei in Chibi of the Yangtze River (now northwest of chibi city, Hubei Province) in the 13th year of Jian 'an in the late Eastern Han Dynasty (208).
This is one of the famous battles in the history of China, in which the few win the many and the weak win the strong. It was the most famous of the "three major battles" in the Three Kingdoms period, and it was also the first large-scale battle in the Yangtze River basin in the history of China.
It marks that the military and political center of China is no longer confined to the Yellow River Basin. Finally, Sun and Liu joined forces to attack with fire, and Cao Cao returned to the north. Sun and Liu each took a part of Jingzhou, which laid the foundation for the tripartite confrontation among the three countries.
4. Battle of Mu Ye
More than 600 years later, the Shang Dynasty was established in the summer of Shang Tang, and it was in danger when the 3rd1became King Di Xin (Shang Zhouwang). According to Records of Historical Records and Yin Benji, Di Xin "argued quickly and listened very sensitively; Material power is extraordinary, and hands are beasts.
Contentment is enough to refuse remonstrance, words are enough to decorate, people and ministers can praise, and the world is high, thinking that they are all below themselves, but "good wine, lust and music win for women." The political god spent huge sums of money to build deer platform and rectangular bridge, and built meat forest in wine pool, leaving the national treasury empty.
The beloved princess da ji, his concubines, Elei and other courtiers killed the court ministers in vain and imprisoned Ji Zi, which led the princes and ministers to rebel in succession. Xin, a military god, devoted himself to the struggle with the Yi people in Southeast Asia.
Although the war was won, and "one trillion (one million) barbarians were captured", Di Xin was also called "one hundred grams (invincible)", but the main force of the Shang army made an expedition to Dongyi, which led to the emptiness of the business capital Chao Ge (now Qixian) and no soldiers to defend.
Zhouyuan is an ancient tribe in the middle reaches of the Weihe River. It lives in some areas in central Shaanxi today and has gradually developed by relying on superior natural environment. When I arrived in Jichang, I reused a number of worthy ministers, such as Lu Shang, Sanyisheng, Taidian, Yao Hong and Nangong, and my national strength grew stronger.
Publicize moral education to foreign Ji Chang, actively mediate disputes between countries, and make vassals attach themselves to it. Ji Chang took the opportunity to engage in United front, while other countries wanted to supply a large number of troops and materials to attack Dongyi.
Being suspected and restrained by Shang Zhouwang has long been miserable. Of course, I am willing to move closer to "Xibo". According to "Historical Records", "The world is divided into three points and two weeks, and the squire is resourceful".
5. Battle of Changping
The battle of Changping lasted from fifty-three years in Zhou Nanwang to fifty-five years in Zhou Nanwang (from April to September in the fifty-fifth lunar year in Zhou Nanwang and from early to September in Zhou Nanwang).
Qin led the army to fight with Zhao in Changping (now northwest of Gaoping City, Jincheng, Shanxi Province). Zhao was finally defeated, Qin won and occupied Changping. In this campaign, Zhao Jun was beheaded and killed about 450,000 people.
This battle is a strategic decisive battle between Qin and Zhao. During the Zhao War, due to years of war, domestic grain and grass consumption was serious. Although Qin has a long front, its national strength is far stronger than Zhao's, and the prince of Zhao is afraid that it will be even worse for Zhao.
Then he abandoned defensive star Lian Po and replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo. According to Wang Zhao's intention, Zhao Kuo changed Lian Po's defensive deployment and pursuit mode, replaced generals and organized attacks.
In view of the weakness of Zhao Kuo's eagerness to win, Qin secretly changed the commander in chief, Bai Qi, and adopted the operational policy of pretending to be defeated and defending, luring the enemy out of the battle, and then dividing and conquering, and finally winning the war. Zhao was badly hurt in this battle.
It accelerated the process of Qin's unification of China, and the battle of Changping was the last turning point in the history of the Warring States. At this point, the unification of Qin is only a matter of time (see Historical Stages of the Warring States Period). This war is the earliest, largest and most thorough large-scale annihilation war in China's ancient military history.
