In the feudal society of China, where the law of the jungle prevails, war has become the most effective means for hegemony to compete for territory and expand its power. Whether it is the war of annexation between countries on the land of China, the war of aggression against hostile forces of other countries, or the expedition to expand the territory, the war is changing the historical trend of China in its unique way, and each war has written a heavy stroke in the historical chapter.

Among the ten wonders of China's ancient wars, there are many classic battles in which the few win the many and the weak win the strong.

Tenth place: Guan Yu's Battle of Bai Mapo.

Ninth place: Battle of Makino

The greatest war in ancient society. It was also in the case that the number of troops was huge, and the army of the Western Zhou Dynasty defeated the army of the Shang Dynasty.

Eighth place: Cao Bin's Battle to Destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty

Song Dynasty was a time when military commanders were scarce, but there were still a large number of outstanding generals before a glass of wine persuaded the soldiers. King Cao is one of them. Throughout the history of China, the scale of the Yangtze River War was enormous, and the casualties on both sides were equally alarming. However, the battle of crossing the river in the Song Dynasty did not damage a single soldier, which is a great spectacle in the history of ancient wars.

Seventh place: Battle of Julu in Xiang Yu

The last battle for survival. This battle is a glorious chapter of the overlord's life, and it is the shining point of the great Chinese odyssey.

It is rare in the history of ancient wars to destroy an army with far more fighting capacity and strength than one's own.

Sixth place: Daming's two defense wars in Beiping

The first time. In the Ming Dynasty, 300,000 troops were annihilated by Valleyan troops in Tongbao, and Emperor Yingzong was captured alive. Vala's army went straight to Beiping, and the minister of war was in danger, and he was neutral in the disorderly army. Number of militiamen sworn to defend Beiping City. After hard struggle, he not only won the battle to defend Peiping, but also successfully welcomed the Emperor Yingzong back and created the first myth to defend Peiping.

The second time. It's more dangerous than the first defending battle of Peiping. Under the fierce attack of hundreds of thousands of troops of Huang Taiji, the famous Yuan Chonghuan led his team to win the second stage of defending Peiping. However, the army that won this victory was not allowed to enter the city, but was stoned down from the tower by friendly forces, which was rare in ancient wars; The most rare thing is that Yuan Chonghuan was thrown into prison after winning the battle, which can be regarded as the most tragic miracle of the ancient war.

Fifth place: Battle of Wei River in Eastern Jin Dynasty

This war is the most unequal battle in the history of China, and it is one of the most classic wars in the history of China War, which is clearly recorded in the American Western Military Academy.

The influence of the whole campaign also determines the historical trend of the next 500 years. This war is a miracle in the history of China, and it is also a miracle in the use of tactics in the history of war.

Fourth place: the battle of Xiangyang in the late Song Dynasty.

A city has been defended for ten years, and the ammunition and food in the city are used up, so that it is still holding on when people eat people.

However, the Mongols found Arab weapons experts, improved the attack distance and accuracy of stone throwing weapons, and successfully captured Fancheng.

Third place: Huo Qubing vs Xiongnu.

Huo Qubing/Kloc-began to fight against Xiongnu at the age of 0/8, and died of sudden illness at the age of 24.

Second place: Li Jing 3000 rode over Yinshan.

This is a battle to defend Datang's position in East Asia, pushing a brand-new empire to the top of the world. The whole movement was in expect the unexpected from the beginning to the end.

Imagine that there is no telephone communication near the border of Wan Li, and it is unlikely that there will be a collective meeting of generals, and then commanders from all walks of life will gather their troops to fight against the Turks with a huge army.

In fact, the launch of Yinshan War in history was extremely hidden, and it was a very effective strategic feint by a general, which made Li Jing's troops successfully surprise Geely's camp. This war not only changed the political pattern in Asia, but also changed the political pattern in Europe, making China's most brilliant dynasty stand in the east of the world for nearly 300 years.

First place: Xue fought in Koguryo.

Xue knows Huo Qubing very well. Huo Qubing died at the age of 24 and Xue joined the army at the age of 30. When Xue joined the army, he accomplished the miracle of winning the general's head in a million-strong army beautifully. In the battle of Emperor Taizong in Dishan, Xue rode alone in white, stormed Koguryo's 150,000 troops, and made a mess. Even the battle-hardened Li Daozong and Li Shiji were dumbfounded. It was a complete spectacle of war.

In the northeast war against bandits, Xue staged the drama of Hengshan Campaign. Xue pushed his legend to a climax in the battle of recruiting nine surnames in Tiele, Northwest China. The arrow of three arrows made more than 100,000 people in Tiele bow and surrender on the battlefield, which was the only glorious chapter in the history of ancient war in China and ancient foreign war in China.

Xue successively carried out the defense of new city, the battle of Jinshan and the surprise attack of Fuyuchuan, and won the decisive victory in the battle of eliminating Koguryo, which played a pioneering role in opening up and governing the Northeast in ancient China.

From the leader of the left army to the magistrate of Yanmen County before his death, Xue maintained a strong deterrent to foreigners. At the age of 69, Xue attacked a heather in Yanmenguan. Facing130,000 enemy troops, Xue took off his hat and showed it to the enemy. When the enemy saw it, he bowed his head and retreated. This fully shows the elegant demeanour of the famous Tang Dynasty.
