In the battle of Hulao Pass, Li Shimin was 3,500 to 65,438+10,000. How did he defeat Dou Jiande's army?

In this battle, Tang Jun won more with less, because it occupied the right place and the right time. The timing is to seize the opportunity to fight and attack on a large scale when the enemy's morale is low. The geographical advantage is that Hulao Pass has steep terrain, which creates favorable geographical conditions for fighting. People and harmony, first, there are far-sighted talents like Guo Xiaoke around, and second, they can listen to people's advice and have high military command ability.

At first, the battle with Wang was regarded as a protracted war. As a result, from the beginning, it was repeatedly defeated. Only three months later, our army surrounded Luoyang, the capital of the king, and the king wrote to Dou Jiande for help. Dou Jiande received 65,438+million, deliberately saying that it was 300,000 to scare Li Shimin into withdrawing troops, so that everyone could bend the rules.

Then Li Shimin asked the generals around him how to face it. Only one person suggested not to retreat, but to confront him head-on. This is a good time to wipe out Guo Zheng and Xia Guo in one fell swoop. So Li Shimin accepted his suggestion and divided his special forces into two parts. One part continued to besiege Luoyang, and the other part, 3,500 soldiers, personally led them to Hulao Pass to fight Dou Jiande. Wang Shichun in Luoyang didn't understand what Li Shimin wanted to do, so he lost the best chance to break through.

On the other hand, Li Shimin led his special forces and left more than 1000 horses on the edge of the Yellow River, which is equivalent to 1000 tanks now. Dou Jiande's eyes were red, and they rushed to grab the steeds. But this time, Li Shimin tried his best to lure him out, but he insisted on the challenge and took the opportunity to consume the morale of the other side. At noon, when the enemy's morale was low and he was hungry, Li Shimin suddenly attacked and went straight to Dou Jiande's camp. Tang Jun won a great victory, which also reflected Li Shimin's superb military command skills and laid the groundwork for later ruling Zhenguan.
