In 207 BC, the Chu army led by Xiang Yu launched a battle against Zhanghan led by the giant deer of Qin Span_span 13 As a result, Xiang Yu captured Qin army Wangli alive, killed Qin general Su Jiao, Zhang Han surrendered, and the allied forces of the princes ended in victory.
This battle is a famous battle in history that wins more with less. Among them, Xiang Yu defeated the 400,000 Qin army with absolute superiority with only 50,000 troops. What happened?
Qin II In the second year, General Zhang Han of the Qin army defeated Chen Sheng and Xiangliang and believed that Chu was no longer threatened. So crossing the Yellow River, the army of Wang Li, who came to join him, defeated Zhao Jun. Zhao Wang Zhao Xie, general Chen Yu , state minister Zhang Er retreated to Julu City.
Wang Li led his army to surround the Julu, Zhang Han led his army to the Jiyuan south of Julu, and at the same time built a tunnel to ensure the smooth flow of the grain road.
The giant deer was surrounded for five months,Wang Li has not launched a decent offensive, his purpose is obviously to fight for aid.
At that time, the Qin army was very powerful and had just defeated Xiang Liang's army, and its morale was booming. Chen Ze once led five thousand people to test the Qin army, and the result was a collapse.
Since then, the defenders have been unable to stand firm, and no one dares to fight.
But this is not a solution. In desperation, King Zhao had to send envoys to , King Chuhuai and the princes of various countries for help.
The lips and teeth are cold. In September after the second year of Qin II (leap month), King Chuhuai appointed Song Yi as general, Xiang Yu as second general, led Fan Zeng_span, 13span as last general Thousands of people went north to relieve the predicament of the giant deer.
Song Yi led his troops conservatively. After weighing the pros and cons, he stayed in Anyang for 46 days without making any further progress. After Xiang Yu eagerly killed Song Yi, he led the troops to go north.
Xiang Yu first sent the army to the Yongdao and the garrison of the army to take the effect.
The princes saw Xiang Yu acted,Followed up afterwards. Everyone fell into the trap that Qin Jun had prepared, and Wang Li's plan was about to begin.
Soon after the attack on Zhanghan was blocked, Chen Yu asked Xiang Yu to take the lead, and Xiang Yu personally led his troops to cross the river. After crossing the river, Xiang Yu immediately ordered all the boats to be scuttled, and the cooking guys were also smashed. To the soldiers, we have no return, we can only win but not defeat, and strengthen the determination of the soldiers. Then he rushed towards Julu with only three days of dry food.
The soldier was cut off and had no choice but to win with fate. Soon Xiang Yu defeated Zhang Han's gangway garrison, cut off Wang Li's army's food path, and smashed Wang Li's job.
When the princes saw Xiang Yu with an easy hit, they immediately swarmed up like locusts and surrounded Wang Li with Xiang Yu's Chu army.
In the end, Xiang Yu led the Chu army in nine battles and nine victories, repelled Zhang Han, captured Wang Li alive, and killed the Qin general Su Jiao, and the siege of the giant deer was dissolved.
After Wang Li was captured, Zhang Hanhou retreated to Jiyuan, while Xiang Yu was stationed in the south of Zhanghe, and the two armies were in a stalemate.
The frontline is not fighting well and Zhang Han is held accountable. I had to send Sima Xin back to Xianyang to explain that not only did he fail to see Qin II, he was almost killed by Zhao Gao on the way back.
After returning, Sima Xin told Zhang Han about his experience on the way to Xianyang, saying, "Now that Zhao Gao is in power, whether he succeeds or fails, he will inevitably die.It is better to plan early. "
Zhang Han was persuaded, and sent people to invite Xiang Yu to surrender. Xiang Yu was surrendered at the Yin Ruins on the south bank of Huan Shui. Subsequently, Xiang Yu named Zhang Han as King Yong and appointed Sima Xin as general, Ju The battle of the deer is over.
Zhang Han and Wang Li defeated Xiang Yu with an absolute advantage of 8:1. is actually not Zhang Han too weak, but Xiang Yu too. Strong. Why do you say that?
First look at the situation in Zhang Han.
In terms of tactics, Zhang Han is waiting to be surrounded by the giant deer. The strategy of concentrating superior forces to consume the vital forces of the Chu army is almost perfect.
In terms of morale, Zhang Han has been almost undefeated since he was appointed as the general, and his fighting power is beyond doubt. Xiang Liang, the leader of the rebel army, had just been wiped out before, and the morale was like a rainbow.
Everyone thinks that the besieged King Zhao is like something in the bag, and it is a matter of minutes to wipe out. I am disdainful of making a fuss. , I want to use the bait of King Giant Zhao to get a bigger fish on the bait.
As a result, the strategic goal is achieved,It's just that it wasn't a small fish or shrimp, it was a shark, and Xiang Yu was killed directly in the end.
Then let's take a look at Xiang Yu's situation. How did the Chu army, who seemed not dominant in all aspects, turn things around?
First of all, although Xiang Yu has a number of coalition forces in name, in fact, all the princes except him are weak and pitiful. They belong to the category of those who have the advantage and run faster than the rabbit when there is danger. Of course Xiang Yu didn't count on them either.
From the perspective of Xiang Yu's personal abilities, history books describe him as "eight feet tall, outstanding in martial arts, and extremely brave." When it's full of spirits. When occupying in Kuaiji County, Xiang Yu once killed more than a hundred people in a row. The real killing did not blink, and the surrounding soldiers were too scared to approach. Xiang Yu's prestige was instantly established.
When fighting, there is this kind of leader who takes the lead in fighting, and the soldiers will naturally take the lead in fighting. The so-called people's hearts are moving together.
Personally speaking, uncle Xiang Liang has just been killed by Zhang Han, and Xiang Yu is eager to take revenge. It's like the gods blocking and killing the gods and Buddhas. That's why the following desperate behaviors of killing Song Yi, breaking the boat and putting them to death will appear. The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road,Zhang Han went to war just to work and support his family, and Xiang Yu was to avenge his blood.
The motivations are different, the result is naturally superior.
From a long-term perspective, the king of Chuhuai had promised that "the one who enters the barrier first is the king" before sending troops. Xiang Yu naturally didn't want to let Liu Bang 's western army preconceived. In order to buy time, he must also mobilize the morale of the soldiers to make a quick battle. From this point, Xiang Yu must be desperately posture of Saburo at the beginning of the war.
In terms of the overall quality of the soldiers, Xiang Yu's 50,000 army is not afraid of being born a young man, but he is not afraid of being born a young man. Moreover, the strong generals had no weak soldiers, and they were all infected by Xiang Yu's spirit and became the tiger wolf division.
And this time the purpose is to fight Qin and save Zhao from the north. As an anti-Qin justice teacher, his teacher is famous and popular, and he is psychologically invincible.
The Great Deer Battle not only destroyed the main force of the Qin army, but also accelerated the demise of the Qin Dynasty . It also established Xiang Yu's position as the overlord among the princes, laying the foundation for the subsequent entrustment of the princes.
