How did the Battle of Julu win more with less under the command of Xiang Yu?

In October of the third year (207 BC), he led an army to the north to save Zhao.

He was timid about the decisive battle with Qin Jun. After arriving in Anyang (now East of Cao Xian County, Shandong Province), he stopped moving and stayed there for 46 days. Advise him to enter the army as soon as possible, cooperate with Zhao and defeat him in one fell swoop. However, he wanted to save his strength and refused Xiang Yu's correct suggestion by taking advantage of Qin and Zhao.

He sarcastically said to Xiang Yu: "persistent and sharp, righteousness is not as good as the public;" It is not as good as justice to sit and move, and threatened Xiang Yu not to disobey orders and obey them. "At the same time, Yi Song went to Kaya Hioki to attend a senior banquet, have fun, and personally went to Wuyan (now southeast of Dongping County, Shandong Province) to give a big banquet, and sent his son to Qi to expand his personal power.

It happened that the weather was cold and rainy, and the soldiers were cold and hungry. Yi Song's actions aroused the dissatisfaction of the soldiers. Xiang Yu, who is strong-willed, feels unbearable. After arguing again that he was not adopted, he was indignant, took the opportunity to enter an account in the morning and killed Yi Song on the spot. The generals supported Xiang Yu's actions and supported him as a fake (acting) general. Seeing that the situation had become so, Xiang Yu was officially appointed as a general and led an army north to save Zhao.

At this time, Qin Jun relied on sufficient soldiers and food, and was in urgent need of besieging the giant deer. The Zhao army in the city is in danger, and the food and grass are exhausted. Yan, Qi, Wei and other reinforcements have arrived near Julu to join forces, but no one dares to confront each other head-on, for fear, they look at each other.

Only Xiang Yu, who was in command, dared to make up his mind to cross the river and fight Qin Jun. After he led his army to the south bank of Zhangshui in December, he appointed General Ying Bu and General Pu to lead twenty thousand people to cross Zhangshui (Yellow River), cut off the tunnel for transporting grain, and separated Wang Li from the army, thus causing Wang Li to fall into the predicament of lack of food. Then, Xiang Yu personally led the main force of the Chu army to cross the river to follow up, and ordered the whole army to cross the bridge, stipulating that each soldier would only take three days of dry food to show the determination of the whole army to forge ahead and resolutely take Qin Jun as an enemy.

After burning one's bridges, Xiang Yu immediately led the Chu army to the foot of Dalucheng, surrounded Wang Li's regiment, and pounced on the enemy with thunderous momentum. The soldiers of the Chu army fought to the death, "without exception" and "calling the earth to move", and Qin Jun under the command of Wang Li was killed in flight.

Zhang Han came to the rescue, but also bravely repelled the Chu army. Xiang Yu commanded the Chu army to fight continuously, without giving Qin Jun any respite. Nine wars and nine wins finally defeated Qin Jun. At the beginning of the war, those vassal reinforcements who feared Qin Jun like a tiger and were doing nothing saw that the victory of the Chu army was set, and they also rushed out of the fence and participated in the siege of Wang Lijun.

As a result of this earth-shattering campaign, the Qin general Wang Li was captured, his deputy Su Jiao was beheaded, and another deputy was cornered and forced to set himself on fire. The Chu army won a great victory, and the siege of the giant deer was broken.

Xiang Yu's Chu-Di Rebel Army showed outstanding strategic battles and guiding advantages in the Battle of Julu.

First of all, the interference of the wrong strategic policy was resolutely ruled out, which ensured the implementation of the strategic decision to go north to save Zhao, thus avoiding the danger of the anti-Qin armed forces being divided by Qin Jun.

Second, we have the courage and determination to cross the rubicon, dare to attack the strong with the weak, and completely overwhelm the enemy mentally.

Third, he is good at dividing and isolating the enemy, so that the enemy's Zhang Han department and Wang Li department lose contact and do not help each other, resulting in the local advantage of the Chu army and creating very favorable conditions for adowa Wang Li to start his career.

Fourth, in the process of assembling soldiers and leaving the army, we should carry forward the style of continuous fighting, give the enemy no chance to breathe, and always firmly grasp the initiative in the battlefield.

Fifthly, after successfully resolving the siege of the stag and annihilating the enemy queen from the "Corps", long-distance strategic pursuit can be implemented in time, which will push Zhang Han, the remaining main force of Qin Jun, into a corner and force him to surrender unconditionally.

The results were expanded, and the military machine of Qin Dynasty, which relied on to suppress the uprising, completely collapsed. All these show that the Battle of Julu is a brilliant strategic decisive battle, and the outstanding operational guidance art of the Rebel Army and its leader Xiang Yu embodied in it is always worthy of praise and reference by future generations.
