Who is better, Xiang Yu or Han Xin?

Xiang Yu and Han Xin, the recognized ares in the Chu-Han War, were invincible. Both of them are rare military talents. As far as military talent is concerned, I think Xiang Yu is superior to Han Xin. Xiang Yu is an excellent military wizard. He can be an excellent soldier, heroic and invincible. In the most famous battle of Pengcheng, 30,000 cavalry led by Xiang Yu fought with Liu Bang's 560,000 vassal allied forces, and finally the vassal allied forces were almost wiped out. Such a spectacle of military war is unprecedented.

On the Advantages and Disadvantages of Xiang Yu and Han Xin from the "Battle of Julu" and "The Last Battle".

the Battle of Julu

Xiang Yu led five Wan Chu armies, beat 400,000 Qin Jun of Zhang Han and Wang Li, crossed the rubicon, led the Chu army to win nine wars and defeated Qin Jun.

Xiang Yu sent Ying Bu and General Pu to lead twenty thousand troops across Zhangshui, cut off contact with Wang Li, and then led all Chu troops to cross the river. In order to boost the morale of the Chu army, all the boats used to cross the river were sunk and all the cooking utensils were destroyed. The soldiers brought only three days' dry food, and they were desperate to fight Qin Jun with the determination to win.

Xiang Yu sent general Pu to lead the army to Zhangshui Ferry, cut off his way home and led the main force to fight. In the end, Zhang Han was in a dilemma and led 200,000 troops to Chu, and Qin Jun was destroyed. This is the famous "cross the rubicon" in history. In this campaign, Xiang Yu's unique strategic vision and careful operational planning and deployment all showed his extraordinary military talents.

Last stand-Fight a life-and-death battle.

Han Xin's "last battle" can be regarded as a model in the military campaign of winning more with less in history. In this war, Han Xin led 30,000 Han troops and defeated 200,000 Zhao troops.

Zhao Jun is entrenched in Jingxingkou and can easily defend from the commanding heights. Han Xin ordered his soldier, last stand, to have no advantage in geographical conditions and strength.

Is Zhao Jun's head coach Chen Yu an idiot? Impatient guy, not listening to General Chen Zuoche's dissuasion, led the whole army to attack and fell into the trap of Han Xin.

Behind Han Xinjun is the river no way back, and all the soldiers are struggling to fight with Zhao. Han Xin's 2000 Qingqi, which was ambushing behind the hill, took the opportunity to enter Zhao's stronghold, replaced it with the Han flag, and then attacked from front to back, defeating Zhao.

Although the "last battle" won, I think it was a narrow victory. If Zhao sticks to his guns and doesn't send troops, Han Xin's army will lose morale and combat effectiveness in a few days; If Zhao didn't go to their lair, Han Xin's plan could not be implemented, and Han Xin won the war by luck.

Han Xin's more effective "desperate fight" tactic in later generations almost pushed himself to the wall, and the result of "last fight" ended in failure, which shows that there are many disadvantages in this tactic.

We can see that the Battle of the Julu and The Last Resistance are similar in the two campaigns. It is also last stand who sent a good soldier to cut off the enemy's back road, and did not leave a back road for his own army, encouraging soldiers to fight to the death. Isn't Han Xin's strategy and tactics borrowed from Xiang Yu?
