In the battle of Xiangji Temple, the elite of the Tang Dynasty was wiped out, and the record of the battle was at its peak
In the first year of the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan died in a hurry, but the war lasted for seven years. The Tang Dynasty is mighty and sweeps all over the world, whether the opponent is a nomadic iron cavalry or other warriors, it cannot stop its edge.
This is a grand event, but in the battle of Xiangji Temple, in the face of the most tragic battle between famous generals and elites, it added the most tragic color to history.
Li Jiao, the king of Guangping, Guo Ziyi, the deputy marshal, and Li Siye, the fierce general, led 150,000 border troops and Zhuhu coalition troops to fight against about 100,000 Luluohe cavalry, Qilan army, Jinglu army and other armies led by An Shouzhong and Li Guiren.
In a duel of top strengths, no surprise soldier can emerge victorious.
The two sides are the most elite armies of the Tang Dynasty, but their way of fighting is quite boring. The Tang Army and the An Shi Army clashed repeatedly, and after the first echelon was finished, it was replaced by the second echelon, and after the second echelon was exhausted, the third echelon went into battle until the main force was completely consumed.
Then there was the arrival of the reserves, one after the other. Although the two sides can sometimes carry out surprise attacks on the local battlefield, before they can be carried out, they are discovered by the opposing team's scout cavalry, and the surprise attack turns into a head-to-head confrontation, followed by a monotonous and bloody exchange of slashes.
On the battlefield of Xiangji Temple, the elite soldiers of both sides fought hard, and every moment could decide victory or defeat, and every knife and shot showed their top combat power honed by years of war.
Although the exchange ratio between the two sides is basically the same, the cruelty and uncertainty of the war have filled everyone's hearts with tension and anticipation.
In the era of cold weapons, if the battle loss ratio of two sides reaches 30%, it usually means that one of the sides is about to be wiped out. However, in the battle of Xiangji Temple, although the battle loss ratio between the two sides reached an astonishing sixty percent, the soldiers still fought to the end, and finally the Tang army successfully won.
The victory in this battle was due to Li Siye, one of the main generals.
The Anshi rebels' arrow rain offensive caused heavy losses to the Tang army, scattered supplies, and the battle situation fell into a disadvantage. At this critical moment, the Tang general Li Siye, known as the "supernatural general", stepped forward, he was seven feet tall and extremely powerful, leading the most elite Modao team to form the last line of defense, successfully preventing the enemy's attack, making the Tang army finally victorious.
At the cost of 70,000 elites, the Tang Army beheaded 60,000 Anshi troops and captured 20,000 prisoners, setting a new record for the battle of Anshi in the era of cold weapons, successfully reversing the situation of the Anshi War, and continuing the vitality of the Tang Dynasty for more than 140 years.
But this battle also caused the elite of Datang to lose everything, and started the decline of Datang. The power of the Mo Dao team is really extraordinary, their bravery is unmatched, no one is invincible, and everyone is broken!
