A famous general of the Tang Dynasty led 10,000 soldiers and horses, how to use the tunnel war strat

This general was Li Guangbi in the middle of the Tang Dynasty. In the Battle of Taiyuan, Li Guangbi successfully took down the enemy generals and captured more than 10,000 enemies by digging tunnels to the enemy's rear under the condition of great disparity in troops.

The Tang Dynasty was the most prosperous period of our Chinese civilization, and traces of Tang Dynasty culture are still circulating around the world. For example, the fact that places where Chinese live are often referred to as Chinatowns is a good example of this. This also fully shows the strength of the Tang Dynasty back then, and it is no exaggeration to say that all countries came to the dynasty.

The fundamental reason why the Tang Dynasty is admired by all countries is that it has a strong military strength. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty was a famous general, no matter what stage of the Tang Dynasty, its famous generals left a strong mark in history. Today's Li Guangbi is a general with outstanding military talent.

Li Guangbi was a Khitan and one of the most famous generals in the mid-Tang Dynasty. Historians have even placed him on an equal footing with Guo Ziyi, a military magnate. Among them, his most brilliant achievements were the Battle of Taiyuan in the eighth century AD.

That year, the rebel Cai Xide led an army of more than 100,000 to attack Taiyuan. At that time, Li Guangbi, the guard general of Taiyuan, was actually very worried after hearing the news. After all, the troops he led at that time were less than 10,000 people, and with such a large gap in numbers, it was an impossible task to hold the city.

So he was in a hurry to defend the city on the city walls, and at the same time ordered his troops to dig tunnels and attack the enemy's rear.

During the defense of the city, the two sides engaged in a fierce tug-of-war, and the soldiers digging tunnels were also working against time. It was not until after digging through that Li Guangbi took advantage of the enemy's siege air raid to attack the enemy's rear through tunnels, and finally succeeded in capturing the enemy generals and capturing more than 10,000 enemies.

This battle became a turning point in the middle of the Tang Dynasty. And Li Guangbi's military talent in the campaign was also recognized and valued by the imperial court. After this, Tang Suzong made him the secretary of the military department and posthumously named him the Duke of Wei.

This person is Li Guangbi, a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, because of the lack of troops, he came up with a clever plan to dig a tunnel, and when the enemy army arrived, he would fall into it and be annihilated in one fell swoop.

The course of the war should be like this, 10,000 soldiers and horses were besieged in a city, but they outflanked the enemy by digging tunnels, forming a flanking attack, thus defeating the army.

This famous general of the Tang Dynasty dug a hole in the ground, so that the enemy army did not know that they were beaten from the **, and finally defeated the enemy army.

He skillfully uses the tunnels to lurk a large number of soldiers, then paralyzes the enemy, causing them to fall into the trap by surprise.

In Lee Kwang-pil, there is no general situation. He governed the army very strictly, and the soldiers obeyed orders and did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Even if there was no enemy attack, the soldiers' patrols and vigilance work were carried out as usual.

The general who defeated the enemy's 100,000-strong army with 10,000 soldiers and horses was Li Guangbi. There are two generals in the Tang Dynasty, one is the well-known Guo Ziyi, and the other is Li Guangbi. After the Anshi Rebellion was pacified, Li Guangbi's military exploits were promoted to the first in Zhongxing.

Li Guangbi is not a Han Chinese, he is a Khitan, and his father Li Kailuo was originally a Khitan chieftain. He surrendered during the Wu Zhou Dynasty and sat until the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu. The Tang Dynasty appointed many generals of ethnic minorities, and in the early stage of the Anshi Rebellion, most of the border generals were generals.

The problem is already very serious.

Li Guangbi learned a lot of military knowledge from his father since he was a child, Li Guangbi inherited his father's title, and later was named the general of Yunlu because of his achievements in defeating Tubo and Tuyuhun. At the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion, the counterinsurgency generals appointed by the Tang Dynasty were mainly Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi. But because the emperor listened to the slander of the eunuchs of the prison army, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing were framed by the villain and died.

After that, the main people in charge of counterinsurgency were Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, and of course, the persistence of Yan Zhenqing's cousins in Shandong and other places was also very important.

Li Guangbi's battle of defeating 100,000 soldiers with 10,000 soldiers was the Battle of Taiyuan. Taiyuan City, the birthplace of the Tang Dynasty, is also a military strategic place, holding Taiyuan, can cut off the rebels' back road. At that time, the rebels led 100,000 troops, and they came to attack violently, and Li Guangbi's manpower was very insufficient, because most of the troops were transferred to Shuofang to protect Tang Suzong, and the regular army he could use was only 5,000 Hebei Army, and the rest were local regimental training, adding up to less than 10,000 people, and it was very difficult to defend the city with a gap of nearly ten times.

Li Guangbi used his ingenuity very much at this time, Li Guangbi asked the soldiers and civilians in the city to dig a trench outside the city first, and then make hundreds of thousands of adobe bricks from the excavated earth, which were kept for use in the war, and when the rebels attacked the city wall, they would use these prepared adobe bricks to repair the city wall. And Li Guangbi also invented a kind of ** called stone cannon, which can shoot a relatively large number of boulders with one shot.

While defending the city, Li Guangbi had already asked the army and civilians to prepare for tunnel warfare, he asked his subordinates to dig a tunnel from the inside of the city that led directly to the outside of the city, and then hollowed out all the underground of Shi Siming's rebel camp for him, and then used the wooden pillars brought in to support him. After preparing these, Li Guangbi first pretended to go out to surrender, and agreed on the date of surrender, waiting for Shi Siming to ride a high-headed horse, ready to accept Li Guangbi's surrender, his camp suddenly collapsed, countless soldiers fell, at this time, Li Guangbi took advantage of the chaos to lead the Taiyuan soldiers to rush in, forming an internal and external attack, killing tens of thousands of people and successfully forcing back more than 100,000 rebels led by Shi Siming.

This famous general is Li Guangbi, he is worthy of being a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and even a famous general of the God of War, under his leadership, he successfully won the battle to defend Taiyuan, and there are many clever plans. He actually used the clever trick of tunnel warfare to defeat the enemy's 100,000 army.

Because this Tang Dynasty general was very famous at that time, and he was very smart, and he was very proficient in all kinds of strategic strategies, so he was able to use his own clever plan to defeat the 100,000 army.

From ancient times to the present, there are countless examples of China winning more with less, and if it is 10,000 elite soldiers fighting 100,000 rabble, it is not a problem at all, and there is no need for tunnel warfare at all. In the era of cold weapons, the effect of tunnel warfare may not be as high as that of hot **.

There are many such things in history, and there are also many famous generals.

It shows that this famous general is wise, can fight, and is a handsome talent.

At first glance, I have seen too much since **.
