In the battle of Kunyang, Wang Mang had 420,000 troops. Why did he fall when he pressed the button?

As the saying goes, fighting needs the right place at the right time, but in this battle between Liu Xiu and Wang Mang, Liu Xiu almost occupied the right place at the right time, and Wang Mang did not occupy any of them, so 420,000 troops often lost to 9,000 people.

Because at that time, many people were dissatisfied with Wang Mang's regime and rebelled in succession. At that time, the insurgents were divided into two forces, one of which was more difficult to deal with, and Liu Xuan led the outlaw hero. At that time, in order to consolidate his political power, he was ready to send troops to capture Kunyang, an important military fortress among outlaws. At that time, Wang Mang, with his 420,000-strong army, took over the whole Kunyang City, and they thought that they could reap the benefits of fishermen immediately.

But who would have thought that the general guarding the city at that time was the later Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu is still very good, just like his name. So in the middle of the night, he led a small number of troops out to look for reinforcements, and things were full of troubles. Liu Xiu, with 9000 reinforcements he found, outflanked Wang Mang's troops from behind and caught him off guard, causing Wang Mang's troops to suddenly be in chaos. Death, injury, flight, all lost the consciousness of fighting.

However, just after the war went on for some time, suddenly the weather was not beautiful, and there was lightning and thunder, and there was a storm. These storms washed away almost all the camps around Kunyang, and many of his generals were almost killed and injured, and those who escaped were almost scared out of their wits. It is precisely because in this war, the weather change and Liu Xiu's possible attack plan are often ignored, so their 420,000 troops were only defeated by 9,000 troops. It can be said that the failure of this movement often leads to more and more decline and eventually elimination.
