What was the battle of Baigou River?

The battle of Kunyang is a famous battle of Liu Xiu and one of the classic battles in Chinese history. At that time, Wang Mang's new army was nearly 400,000, while the rebel army guarding Kunyang was less than 20,000.

400,000 besieged 20,000. It seems that the outcome has been decided, but Liu Xiu is the son of a plane. Although there are only 20,000 people, it is enough for Liu Xiu.

I won't say much about the process of this battle. The stubborn resistance of the rebels is very important, but God's help can't be ignored. There is a record about this battle in the Book of Were Han:

"There will be thunder and lightning, the roof tiles will fly, the rain will be like a note, the dream will overflow, the tiger and leopard will fight, and the foot soldiers will fight for it. There will be thousands of drowning people, and the water will not flow. "

The main idea recorded in the Book of Later Han Dynasty is that when the two armies fought fiercely, the sky suddenly thundered and thundered. Soon, the rain poured down, the rubble on the roof was blown away by the sudden strong wind, the river surged, and the tigers and leopards in the new military camp trembled with fear. The new army immediately dispersed, and the soldiers rushed to cross the river to escape, so countless people drowned and the river was cut off.

Although this is an official record, the historian's record of this sudden storm is so strange that even the author can't believe it. The biggest question is, since the two armies are at war, why did the sudden weather only affect the enemy and not the rebels? Is that dark cloud in the sky always hanging over the enemy and moving with the enemy like a ghost?

If not, it is difficult to explain why, in the face of this strange weather, the enemy is greatly disturbed, while the rebels seem to have no influence at all.

However, although God also helped, this did not affect Liu Xiu's heroic performance in this battle.

The Battle of Kunyang is a strange battle in the history of China War, which can be compared with the Battle of Baigou River, one of the most crucial battles in Jingnan Campaign in the early Ming Dynasty. ?

In April of the second year of Wen Jian (1400), the Battle of Baigou River broke out. The outcome of this battle is directly related to the success or failure of Judy Jingnan. It is no exaggeration to say that this is his life-and-death battle. In fact, in this battle, Yan Jun was on the verge of rout several times, and Judy herself was on the verge of death many times.

For Zhu Yunwen, this is the closest to eliminating Judy. Unfortunately, the Confederate army failed.

Throughout the campaign, the Confederate army took the initiative and defeated the Yan army many times. The confederate army even split up and cut off the Yan army's back road, almost wrapping Judy in the cross-arms, but the Yan army finally fought back and successfully defeated the confederate army. The reason why the Yanjun was able to defeat the Confederate army was actually a strange wind. How did this happen?

Let's take a look at the record of this battle in Ming history:

The king turned to his left, and Jing Longbing bypassed the queen. The war lasted a long time, and arrows rained down. Wang Sanyi changed horses, waved all the arrows, folded his sword and left, climbed up the levee, pretending to lead the whip to recruit talents. The scene swelled with suspicion and dared not go forward. He was saved by Gao Xu, that is, he was solved. The confederate army gathered, and the Yan soldiers were eclipsed.

Wang Fenran said, "If I don't advance, if the enemy doesn't retreat, there will be war ears." Is to use Qiang Bing to highlight its back and attack it. A whirlwind will set off and the Jinglong flag will be broken. So the king set fire to the wind, taking the attack as the defense, beheading tens of thousands of drowning people and beheading more than 100 thousand people.

Guo Ying fell to the west and Jinglong fell to the south. He lost all his gifts and went to Texas.

Yan Jun fought fiercely with the Confederate army for a long time, and both sides won and lost. After that, Li Jinglong sent troops around Yan Jun, which led to Yan Jun being attacked, and the situation in Yan Jun was unfavorable. Judy went into battle herself, changed horses three times, shot all the arrows in the quiver and cut off her sword.

Later, in desperation, he raised his whip behind him to meet the reinforcements. Li Jinglong became suspicious and stopped the attack. At this time, Zhu really came to help with his troops, and just dodged a bullet.

Although Judy narrowly escaped, Yan Jun suffered heavy casualties. At the same time, the Confederate army regrouped and prepared to attack Yan Jun, and Yan Jun soldiers were "completely annihilated". ?

Here we can feel the inner feelings of Yan Jun soldiers at that time. They must be desperate, but as a coach, Judy can only bite the bullet and encourage the soldiers to fight again.

After all, soldiers can go home to farm if they don't want to fight. If Judy doesn't want to fight, she will die. Therefore, fighting the Confederate army again is Judy's life-and-death battle. If you win, you win; if you lose, you die.

The two armies fought again, and the fierce battle was in full swing. Judy also decided to split up and attack the Confederate army. Although Judy is not sure, she can only risk her life. After all, there is no possibility of victory in the face of the Confederate army, which is absolutely superior in number. But at this time, "there must be a whirlwind and a broken flag."

Yes, another sudden wind blew down Li Jinglong's Qi Shuai. In ancient times, two armies were at war. Qi Shuai is very important. The soldiers in front didn't know their coach was still there until they saw Qi Shuai, so they still had the heart of World War I, but if Qi Shuai disappeared, it would mean that the coach ran away, which would mean defeat, and if they continued to fight, it would be meaningless death. At this time, soldiers can run and run, and if they can fall, they will never die. ?

Therefore, for Judy, this strange wind came at the right time. As soon as the Qi Shuai arrived, the Confederate army was dissolved immediately. Judy took the opportunity to set fire to fight back and won the crucial battle of life and death.

After the battle of Baigou River, the Chu emperor turned from defending to attacking, and it was getting closer and closer to the throne. Although Liu Xiu and Judy's victory is due to environmental factors, environmental factors are only the secondary and decisive factors of their success. ?

If they don't have God's help, they will have a chance to win with their ability. Therefore, if they want to be blessed by God on the road to success, they must first know how to improve themselves. That's all that matters.
