In the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, what kind of troops were the 800 warriors under Zhang Liao?

In the official history, it is mentioned twice in a row that there are 800 foot soldiers, and judging from Chen Shou's rigorous attitude in writing the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", it can be affirmed that the 800 warriors of Zhang Liao in the Battle of Xiaoyaojin were indeed foot soldiers.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms - The Biography of Zhang Liao, Cao Pi praised Zhang Liao: "This is also the ancient call for tigers." Moreover, "The soldiers recruited by the Liao from the Wu army are all tigers." "Take this proof as a pawn.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms - The Biography of Zhang Liao" did not specify the types of troops at the beginning, but at the end of the biography, it was clearly mentioned twice that the 800 people in the Battle of Xiaoyaojin were foot soldiers, "Yi Liao was recruited from the Wu army, and they were all tigers." ”

The Battle of Xiaoyaojin refers to the famous battle of Cao Wei's famous general Zhang Liao counterattacking Sun Quan with 800 foot soldiers, and then breaking the 100,000 army led by Sun Quan himself in Xiaoyaojin (in Hefei), thus relieving the siege of Hefei with less and more famous battlesAlso known as the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, it is an important part of the Battle of Hefei, which directly defeated Sun Quan's personally broken rear army and almost captured Sun Quan.

In the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Sun Quan took advantage of Cao Cao's use of troops in Hanzhong to personally lead a large army to Hefei. In this battle, the elite of Eastern Wu was exhausted, and the 100,000 army was broken by Zhang Liao's 7,000 defenders, and even Sun Quan himself was almost captured by Cao's army. The battle of Hefei Xiaoyaojin is the most shining masterpiece of Zhang Liao's life, and the romance says that "everyone in Jiangnan is afraid of this period of killing, and when they hear Zhang Liao's name, children dare not cry at night", which can be called a classic example of defensive tactics.

It can be seen that Wu is 100,000 and Wei is 7,000 people, and the following is "Three Kingdoms: Zhang Leyu Zhang Xu Biography", which describes the Taizu of Zhang Liao's part of both conquest and Sun Quan, so that Liao, Lejin, Li Dian and others will have more than 7,000 people in Hefei. Taizu recruited Zhang Lu, taught and protected Xue Yi, and signed a letter saying "The thief is to the hair". The Russian power rate of 100,000 people surrounded Hefei, but the total teaching, the teaching:

If Sun Quan arrives, generals Zhang and Li will fight; General Le defended, and the guards were in a hurry to fight. "All the generals are suspicious. Liao said:

The public expedition is outside, than to save it, and I will break it. It is to teach and attack it without it, and to fold its momentum, so as to calm the hearts of the people, and then it can be defended. The opportunity for success or failure, in this battle, what doubts do you have?

Li Dian is also the same as Liao. So Liao Ye recruited people who dared to follow, got 800 people, and the soldiers of the Ox Feast, and fought tomorrow. Pingdan, Liao was held by Jia, first landed and trapped Chen, killed dozens of people, beheaded two generals, shouted his name, rushed into the base, and went to the command.

The power was shocked, and the crowd didn't know what to do, so they climbed the high mound and defended themselves with a halberd. Liao Qi power to fight, the right did not dare to move, seeing that the Liao generals were few, but gathered around Liao several times. Liao left and right surrounded, straight forward and sharply attacked, encircled, Liao generals under dozens of people, the rest of the crowd shouted:

The general forsaken me! "Liao Fu also broke through and pulled out the remnants. The people in power are invincible, and no one dares to be the one.

From the Dan War to the middle of the day, the Wu people seized the air, and also repaired the garrison, the hearts of the people were peaceful, and the generals were salty. The right to defend Hefei for more than ten days, the city can not be pulled, but retreat. Liao led the armies in pursuit and regained power several times.

Taizu Da Zhuang Liao, worship the general of Zhengdong. In the twenty-first year of Jian'an, Taizu reinstated Sun Quan, went to Hefei, followed the Liao War, and sighed for a long time. It is to increase the Liao soldiers, stay more armies, and migrate to the nest.

This is recorded in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, and that's right.

My previous three were all romance impressions, dizzy.

Zhang Liao is 7,000 people, and this has a real number.

The number of Sun Quan's army is unknown, but there are two references: one is that in 223, Cao Pi attacked Wu in three ways, and Sun Quan only sent 30,000 men on each of the three routes; Second, in 233 or 234, Sun Quan attacked Hefei New City, [claimed] 100,000.

Considering that Jiangdong stayed behind, dealt with Shanyue, and Jingzhou confronted Guan Yu's army, Sun Quan's army was more reliable between 50,000 and 70,000, and tended to be 50,000.

Not ...... thoughThis is the number of battles in Hefei.

That's right, the real Battle of Hefei was Xiaoyaojin that took place after the Wu army fought for dozens of days and began to withdraw its troops. At this time, the army around Sun Quan only had 2,000 guards, and the large army had already withdrawn first. Now that the main force of the Wu army has withdrawn, the possibility of Zhang Liao's entire army going out of the city to pursue is very high.

Sun Quan personally led 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Hefei, and his generals included Lü Meng, Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang, Chen Wu, He Qi, Xu Sheng, Lü Fan, Song Qian, etc.; In Hefei, there were only 7,000 defenders of Zhang Liao, Lejin, Li Dian and Xue Yi, and the main force of Cao's army was far away in Guanzhong, unable to go to help, and the disparity in strength was very great.

In the official history, the 800 warriors under Zhang Liao's command in the Battle of Xiaoyaojin were all infantry, which made Cao Pi very appreciative and respected Zhang Liao.
