Battle of Changping

The battle of Changping was a large-scale field battle during the Warring States period in China. The war lasted for three years, and ended with the victory of Zhao and the failure of Zhao. The killing of 450,000 soldiers of Zhao before and after the Qin Jun War was regarded by later generations as a turning point in the Warring States Period. After that, after the war, it was only a matter of time before other vassal states no longer had the strength to fight against Qin Jun and Qin unified China.

In the summer of 260 BC, Zhao Kuo took over more than 400,000 Zhao troops on the Changping front. At the same time, Qin secretly sent Wu Anjun to Changping to succeed Wang Bi in commanding Qin Jun. After Zhao Kuo went to the front line, he contracted his troops and prepared to attack Qin Jun actively, in an attempt to annihilate Qin Jun in World War I and recapture Shangdang ... Tian Lei built a main position of 18 km along the natural ridge on the east bank of Danhe River, relying on Changping City on the east bank of Danhe River, and the right wing extended to the north bank of Xiaodongcang River to resist the main attack of Zhao Army. After the decisive battle began, another 25,000 people were arranged to cut off Zhao's retreat at the Stone Great Wall Science Point. Another 5,000 cavalry blocked the connection between Zhao, who stayed at Stone Great Wall Scienc Spot Scientific Point, and Zhao's main attacking force. Zhao Kuo knew little about Qin Jun, so he directed the main attack on the Qin Jun army stationed in front of the Old Pass. In accordance with the orders, he was deceived shortly after the fighting, losing ground one after another, and fled along the avenue leading to Changping City, luring the chasing Zhao main force to the preset battlefield. Zhao Kuo didn't know Qin Jun's tricks. He ordered the whole army to storm Qin Jun. With tenacious resistance, Zhao could not break through. At this time, Zhao's main attacking force was 0/2 km away from Jiuguan/Kloc. Twenty-five thousand squatting on the north bank of Xiaodongcang suddenly attacked, cutting off Zhao's retreat. 5000 cavalry also arrived at the old pass, so that the Zhao army who stayed at the old pass did not dare to attack or support. In this way, Zhao Jun was completely divided into two sections. The main force of Zhao's attack lost logistical support; The remaining troops are empty-handed, but unable to reinforce the decisive battle. Qin Jun seized the favorable opportunity and sent troops to attack Zhao from two wings. Zhao suited his troops and couldn't win. Qin Jun compressed him in a narrow strip. Facing the dangerous situation, Zhao Kuo ordered the troops to build bases in situ and wait for reinforcements. Qin Jun took advantage of this situation to surround Zhao in front of the main position. The news that Zhao Jun was surrounded by Qin Jun in the wild reached Handan. Zhao Haoqi wanted to unite against Qin, and sent an envoy to help neighboring vassal states, such as Chu and Wei. However, because the envoys of Zhao entered Xianyang and talked about the meeting between Qin and princes, the vassal States all saw it and were unwilling to save Zhao. Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao had to send his own troops to Changping for rescue. On the Qin side, after getting the news that Zhao's main force was surrounded, Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin, personally rushed from Xianyang to Hanoi County, not far from the front line, gave titles to all the county people, and ordered all men over the age of 15 in the county to go out to support the Changping front line and stop Zhao's reinforcements. As a result, the besieged Zhao army could not get aid and supplies. In September, after being trapped for 46 days, Zhao Kuo was shot and killed by Qin Jun when he broke through. Zhao had no fighting capacity and surrendered to Qin Jun. After counting the number of prisoners, there were nearly 400,000. Qin Jun also suffered more than half of the casualties in the battle, and he was still nervous about a large number of prisoners. Make a false promise, he will bring strong soldiers back to Qin, and the old, the weak, the sick and the young will be released to Zhao. Zhao people don't doubt. As a result, nearly 400,000 weak Zhao prisoners were raped and killed by Qin Jun, and only 240 young Zhao people were released to Zhao by Qin Jun. The battle of Changping ended in Zhao's fiasco and overall victory.
