What wars in history were decided by weather factors?

Many wars in history were decided by weather factors, the most famous of which were the landings in Battle of Red Cliffs and Normandy. This paper mainly studies the famous Battle of Red Cliffs in the history of China.

Burn red cliff. Burning Chibi is also called Battle of Red Cliffs. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Quan and Liu Bei joined hands to defeat Cao Cao's army in Chibi Dynasty. This battle is also one of the famous battles in China's history, even during the Three Kingdoms period. This river war along the Yangtze River also indicates that China's military politics is no longer confined to the Yellow River.

At that time, Cao Cao's northern soldiers were not used to taking a boat, so Cao Cao ordered people to connect the ends of the boat, so that people and horses could walk on the boat. At this time, Zhou Yu's subordinate Huang Gai took advantage of this. Taking advantage of the wind, he could burn Cao Cao's army, put the dead wood on the boat, pour oil on it, wrap it in a curtain, and then pretend to surrender, so that Cao Cao thought that Huang Gai had come to surrender, and he was not alert. When it was less than three miles away from Cao Cao's army, the ship full of dead branches was lit. At this time, ships flew past Cao Cao's army like arrows in the wind, and all Cao Cao's warships were burned. Even some fires have spread to the camp in Cao Jun, and countless Cao Jun people have been burned to death.

After Sun Quan and Liu Bei attacked Cao Cao's army with fire, Cao Cao had no choice but to return to the north, and Sun Quan and Liu Bei also took part of Jingzhou, laying the foundation for the tripartite confrontation among the three countries.
