Geng Gong carried 20,000 Xiongnu onslaught with hundreds of people and defended the city for a year,

In China's 5,000-year history, the Chinese nation has experienced countless battles. The victors were determined in these battles, and the fusion of foreign and domestic civilizations was also promoted. In so many dynasties in the past, there were outstanding talents in each dynasty.

For example, Huo Quzhi in the Han Dynasty, Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty, Li Qingzhao in the Song Dynasty, etc. In history, if we talk about the Chinese war examples of winning more with less, the most famous of them is that Geng Gong carried 20,000 Xiongnu with hundreds of people and attacked the city for a year. How did he manage to win more with less?

Geng Gong is familiar with the art of war, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, and never slacking off in a hundred battles。Geng Gong took advantage of the Huns' belief in gods. While smearing poison on his bow and arrows, he made up:

The Han arrow god, among which the sores must be different. "After fighting against Geng Gong, the Huns were shot with bows and arrows, and the wounds slowly festered, and the pain was unbearable. Gradually, he believed what the Han soldiers said, believing that they were protected by the gods.

As a result, the Huns were demoralized, and morale was very important in an army. An army without morale is like a plate of loose sand.

Geng Gong was taken by surprise and attacked him unprepared, taking advantage of the heavy injuries of the Huns, they attacked the Hun camp in the middle of the night. Such an unexpected move did not make the Huns think of it. Geng Gong's strategy successfully attacked the Xiongnu and caught the Xiongnu by surprise.

Because the Huns were not prepared at all, the Huns suffered heavy casualties in this battle. Then none of the Han troops were injured, and they retreated. As a result of this battle, the Huns retreated, giving the Han army the opportunity to prepare for the next round of war.

It is also very difficult to defeat 10,000 people with just a few hundred people. Geng Gong's qualities are worth learning from.

He was very strategic, according to the weakness of the Huns, and used the technique of poisoned arrows, and finally was able to defend the city for a year, which was very powerful.

First of all, Geng Gong has a strong belief, he thinks that he will be able to defend it, plus he knows a lot of strategies, and the city is very firmly defended.

Geng Gong took advantage of the superstitious gods of the Huns and smeared a large amount of poison on the bow and arrow, which made the other soldiers feel fearful in their hearts, and the morale of the Hun army was low for a while.

Geng Gong was resourceful and knew the strategy of defending the city very well, so he was able to face the many attacks of the menacing Xiongnu enemy and was in an undefeated position.

Geng Gong had his own strategy, and was good at using the characteristics of the Xiongnu to fear the gods, and created a lot of superstitious things, which frightened them.

Geng Gong was a very clever man, he was very strategic, taking advantage of the Huns' fear of the gods, smearing poison on the arrows and making the soldiers shout: "The Han family arrow god, among which the sores must be different." ", which frightened the Huns.

He took advantage of the superstitious gods of the Huns, smeared poison on the bow and arrows, and deliberately told them that there must be something wrong with the sores, so he frightened them.

The story of the thirteen soldiers returning to the Jade Gate. Geng Gong took advantage of the superstitious characteristics of the Huns to worship the gods, smeared a large amount of poison on the bow and arrow, organized a 100-person death squad, and attacked the Xiongnu camp at night. That's how we waited for reinforcements to arrive.

Geng Gong took advantage of the superstitious gods of the Huns, smeared a large amount of poison on the bow and arrow, and asked the soldiers to shout on the city wall: "The Han arrow god, among which the sores must be different." ”

It is estimated that the Huns did not attack much in the later period, and wanted to trap them by relying on more people, and also wanted to force them to surrender or force them to flee and chase and kill, otherwise how could the Huns not be able to attack when there were only 26 people left? Of course, this also shows that Geng Gong's general attributes are very good, and the traditional integrity of the Han Dynasty is very good, so he insisted on until the reinforcements arrived, and the 2,000 reinforcements also went through a lot of hardships to cross the Tianshan Mountains to rescue them when the snow was falling, which was too touching.

The contemptible people think that the probable reason why Geng Gong led his men to carry the siege of the Northern Xiongnu 10,000 people is:

There are many comrades-in-arms, and the Han people support them

As we all know, in the last years of the Western Han Dynasty, the uprising within the new empire led to the new empire having no time to exercise deeper control over the Western Regions. So the Xiongnu controlled the Western Regions again, until the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Empire began again, thinking about restoring the control of the Western Regions, so in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, several generations of Eastern Han emperors who had made a difference, put a lot of manpower and material resources in the Western Regions, so Geng Gong became a follower, Dou Gu, who was still a lieutenant at that time, entered the Western Regions as a staff officer, and stayed in Jinpucheng, northeast of today's Urumqi.

When the main force of the Han army withdrew, the subdued Cheshi Houguo became the territory of Wuji Lieutenant, the most important strategic barrier in the north. Therefore, when the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Xiongnu attacked the hail of the country after the Che Division, they stood with Geng Gong and the army of the Hou State of the Che Division. Unfortunately, the king of the Cheshi Houguo was killed in the battle.

Geng Gong's defense of Jinpucheng was also unfavorable, so he had to retreat to Shule City in the south of Jinpucheng and defend by risk. So this means that in fact, Geng Gong's army is much more than we imagined to be a few hundred, and there is also the queen of the Han people in the country of Cheshihou, as well as a large number of pro-Han forces.

Trapped in a dangerous city, digging wells and fighting to the death

And when the battle losses of the Han army trapped in Shule City (Shichengzi) increased, and the Hun soldiers completely cut off the water source of the remnants of the Han army, Geng Gong dug wells in the city to get water, killed prisoners and filled hunger, in short, he fought to the death and did not retreat! Moreover, the Xiongnu army that surrounded Shichengzi was also old and gradually lost patience.

In addition, the soldiers of the Xiongnu besieging the city sailed fan, because the siege melee ** was very large, and the morale was extremely low. Therefore, the Xiongnu army, after never seeing the effect of encircling the reinforcements, began to become lazy. So Geng Gong and his subordinates kept holding on like this, until Geng Gong's old subordinate Fan Qiang, with 2,000 troops, was pulled out of a layer of skin late.

Rushed from the direction of Liuzhong to meet Geng Gong's retreat.

The main grinding height depends on military equipment, the level of military equipment of the Han army was particularly high, the Han Dynasty has entered the era of iron, the bow and crossbow of the Han cover You army is the best combat **, plus the city is strong, and then it is against the siege. The specific basis is the "Iron Knife of the Eastern Han Dynasty" found in Cangshan, Shandong.

He is very tenacious, and he leads many soldiers to fight the extreme limit of survival. is also very tenacious, he persevered to the end, all the way through the mountains and rivers. In the end, it resisted the attack of the Huns.

He took advantage of the terrain and hid his figure. Because this period of history is true, and it is also recorded in the history books.

Several of them were defeated by less filial piety, and at that time they made a corresponding analysis of the battlefield and carefully destroyed it, and at the same time they were besieged, but they did not give up, and finally fought their way out. The basis is based on historical records.

Through strategic planning, strengthening his own leadership ability, and regretting the summary of his experience in this area, he finally held such a siege. Because he knows how to use strategic technology and knows how to consume the strength of the other side, he has achieved such results.

They established their own defensive offensive, as well as the strong iron weapons of the Han Dynasty, the tacit understanding between them and the soldiers, and their strong will; Because they didn't want their country to be defeated by the Xiongnu, they wanted to use their last Zen argument to slow down the disturbance and protect the people of their country.

Because of their strong ability to shake and fight, they were fierce, they occupied a dominant position, and many tuncheng were built at that time, and the results of these buildings were relatively stable, and they were particularly strong and could achieve strict protective measures.

It's not that he only used a few dozen people, or he blocked the attack of the Huns and tens of thousands of horses, but because these old soldiers have always had tens of thousands of people to defend to the end, only a few dozen people were left to return to the Han Dynasty.

Geng Gong held the siege of 20,000 Xiongnu for a year with dozens of people, this is not true, this is just a guess and exaggeration.

It doesn't seem to be true, it is said that there were hundreds of people at the beginning, and then after a desperate struggle to the end, only a dozen people remained.

Geng Gong's ability to resist the attacks of the Northern Xiongnu many times is a historical achievementThe reason why he was able to resist the Xiongnu was because of Geng Gong's wisdom and luck on the battlefield.

When the Huns launched an attack for the first time, Geng Gong originally wanted to use poison to scare the Huns in the name of the gods, but what he didn't expect was that in this war, there was a strong wind and rain, which repelled the Huns. The second time was the same, I thought that this time the Huns cut off the water source was certain to die, but I didn't expect that, by the care of God, in the well they had dug for a long time, it actually spewed out water, this scene frightened the Huns. Seeing this scene, the Huns quickly left.

In these two wars of resistance, all showed luck to take care of Geng Gong, although the final outcome was that Geng Gong was assassinated by the Huns, but the process of Geng Gong's fight against the Huns was endlessly praised.

After the city was surrounded by the Hun army, Geng Gong commanded his soldiers to shoot the opponent's soldiers with bows and arrows, and called the soldiers to attack the enemy's camp at night, the enemy lost a lot, and then only took the siege of the city without fighting, intending to trap Geng Gong and his men, the grain and grass water sources in the city were cut off, and the soldiers had no choice but to dig their own wells to solve the problem of water, there was no food, and finally they could only cook the armor skin to eat, and finally waited for reinforcements.

They persevered with tenacious perseverance, and Geng Gong had a good military talent to deal with the war, and there were also people from the queen of Cheshi who provided him with intelligence and food.
