The battle of Kunyang overthrew Wang Mang's regime.

The battle of Kunyang is a strategic decisive battle for the Lvlin Rebel Army to overthrow Wang Mang's regime, and it is also a typical war case in Chinese history.

At the beginning of the 4th year (23rd year) of Emperor Huang, the main force of Wang Mang's army marched eastward to the Red Eyebrow Army, and the Central Plains was empty. The outlaws sent troops to the Northern Expedition, and in the First World War (now Biyang, Henan Province), Wang Mang's Jingzhou soldiers and his army were wiped out. Then defeated Wang Mang's army, Yan You and Chen Maobu. Greenwood heroes have grown to more than 65438+ ten thousand people. In February, after resuming the establishment of political power, the main force went north to besiege the strategic place of Wancheng (now Nanyang, Henan). At the same time, Wang Feng, Wang Chang, Liu Xiu and others were sent to command the army and quickly captured Kunyang (now Ye County, Henan Province), Dingling (now Wuyang North, Henan Province) and Yanxian (now Yancheng South, Henan Province).

Wang Mang was frightened when he heard the news. He quickly changed his military deployment and turned the main force attacking the Red Eyebrow Army back to the outlaw hero. In March, Wang Mang sent Wang Yi and Wang Xun to Luoyang to collect information from various counties? 420,000 elite soldiers, claiming to be millions, attacked Green South? Jun Lin

In May, Wang Yi and Wang Xun led the troops out of Luoyang in the west and Yingchuan in the south. After meeting Yan You and Chen Mao, they matched Wancheng. If we cross Kunyang, we will surround Kunyang with the whole army in order to conquer it. At that time, there were only eight or nine thousand people in Kunyang City. In the face of enemy forces dozens of times their own, the generals of the outlaw heroes are divided.

Many generals think that the enemy is far from our army and the war is bound to fail. They advocate breaking the whole into parts, leaving the city, returning to the base area and trying to recover. Liu Xiu strongly opposed it, Zhang encouraged morale, stuck to Kunyang, consumed follwed's troops, and then waited for an opportunity to break the enemy. People listened to this, told Wang Feng and Wang Chang to lead the troops to stick to it, and Liu Xiu went out of the city to meet them. Liu Xiu and Yi Li rode out of the south gate of Kunyang at a rate of 13 and rushed to Mianxian and Dingling for help.

Follwed suggested to Wang Yi that Kunyang City was easy to defend but difficult to attack. We should bypass Kunyang, attack Wancheng quickly, and defeat the main hero of Wancheng Greenwood, but Kunyang can surrender without a fight. Wang Yi and others, relying on their strength, refused to listen to advice and insisted on attacking Kunyang first.

He also threatened to treat me as a million teachers, and what I passed would be ruined. After the massacre in this city, it will be a great thing to March in their blood and dance in front of the songs! Wang Yi ordered the sergeant to dig a tunnel, build a cloud car and strengthen the offensive. Qi Xin, the defender of Kunyang, made concerted efforts to resist and repeatedly repelled Wang Yijun's attack.

Kunyang city can't be attacked repeatedly. Yan You once again suggested to Wang Yi that the defenders in the city be lenient and let some of them escape, then spread public opinion, shake the morale and disintegrate morale. The headstrong Wang Yi still refused to adopt it.

After Liu Xiu and others arrived in Dingling and Yan counties, they persuaded the rebel generals who were unwilling to send troops to Kunyang on June 1. Liu Xiu personally led more than a thousand people as strikers, and bravely attacked and killed dozens of people in Wang Yijun, which greatly boosted morale. At this time, the main force of the reformed army had captured Wancheng on the 3 rd, but the battle report had not yet reached Kunyang. In order to boost morale and shake the enemy's morale, Liu Xiu made a battle report, saying that the rebels occupied Wancheng and an arrow shot into Kunyang City. And deliberately lost the report and let it spread among the enemy.

Then, Liu Xiu selected 3000 soldiers, detoured to the enemy's side, and unexpectedly launched an extremely fierce attack on Wang Yi's stronghold. Wang Yi ordered the battalions to stay put, and he and Wang Xun led ten thousand men to battle.

At one meeting, Wang Yi's army was in chaos and defeated, and Wang Xun was killed by the disorderly army. The defenders of Kunyang City took advantage of the situation to attack, attacked from inside and outside, and ShaSheng was deafening. It coincided with thunder and lightning, torrential rain, surging river, Wang Mang's army trampled on itself and drowned, and the whole army was wiped out. The main force of follwed army was completely annihilated, and only Wang Yi and Yan You led thousands of people to flee to Luoyang.

The battle of Kunyang destroyed the main force of Wang Mang's army and declared that the new Mang regime was about to collapse.

Green forest red eyebrow uprising

In the later period of Wang Mang's rule, Jingzhou suffered from famine for years and farmers went into exile in large numbers. In the fourth year of Tianfeng (17), the hungry people revolted under the leadership of Wang Kuang and Simomo, and the rebel army took the Green Forest Mountain (now the Great Hongshan Mountain in Hubei Province) as its base, so it was called the Green Forest Hero. The team is eager to grow to tens of thousands of people. In the third year of Emperor Huang (22 years), a plague broke out in Lvlin Mountain, and the rebels left. In February of the following year, Wang Kuang and Wang Fengli made Liu Xuan, the imperial clan of the Han Dynasty, emperor, restore the title of the Han Dynasty and establish a new dynasty. In June, Liu Xiu and others defeated the main force of Wang Mang's army in Kunyang, laying the foundation for overthrowing Wang Mang's regime. In August, the outlaw hero invaded Chang 'an and Wang Mang was killed.

As early as the second year of the Greenwood Uprising, Fan Chong, a native of Langya (now Zhucheng, Shandong Province), led the uprising in Juxian County, with tens of thousands of people. The insurgents dyed their eyebrows red to distinguish them from officers and men, so they were called the Red Eyebrow Army. The Red Eyebrow Army attacked and killed more than 10,000 people in Changcheng (now Dongping West, Shandong Province), and its military strength was greatly boosted, but it has moved to the junction of Lu Yu and Anhui. After the capture of Luoyang, he split his troops and marched westward, crushing Liu Xuan's army. In the third year (25 years), the Red Eyebrow Army invaded Chang 'an, Liu Xuan surrendered, and the new regime perished. At the end of the second year, the Red Eyebrow Army left Chang 'an and returned to the East, where it was defeated by Liu Xiu. Fan Chong was killed after surrendering, and the uprising failed.
