When they saw Xiang Yu coming, they laid down their weapons and took refuge in Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu shouted a slogan to the allied forces, and the surrenders can let bygones be bygones, which is the fundamental reason why Liu Bang's allied forces have no resistance. More than 500 thousand people fled together, and Xiang Yu's cavalry beat them to pieces, which was simply cutting melons and vegetables.
In the end, in the battle of Pengcheng, Liu Bang's own 65,438+10,000 troops were almost wiped out by Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang had to flee in panic, which is why Liu Bang's 560,000 troops could not compete with Xiang Yu's 30,000 cavalry.
The Battle of Pengcheng is a classic example in the history of China, and it is also a battle that made Liu Bang suffer heavy losses. With such a numerical advantage, Liu Bang will still lose the battle, mainly because the army has problems. The army led by Liu Bang is a coalition, not his own.
When Han Xin led Liu Bang out of Hanzhong, there were 65438+ ten thousand people at most. After Han Xin took Liu Bang and Ming Xiu on the plank road and sneaked through the battle of Chencang, Liu Bang really shocked many governors. So when Liu Bang killed them, they had to give up their resistance.
Those troops who surrendered also joined Liu Bang's army. Liu Bang continued to move eastward, and Wang Wei also surrendered to Liu Bang, and Wang Changshan, Zhao Wang and Wang Han's men finally formed this 560,000-strong army. It was with this mob of 560,000 that Liu Bang headed for Pengcheng, the capital of Xiang Yu.
