How China’s Most Fearsome Warrior Broke Qin’s Army | Battle of Julu

The Battle of Julu was one of the most decisive battles in the fall of the Qin Dynasty—and one of the most remarkable examples of military strategy in ancient Chinese warfare. In 208 BC, Qin still possessed the strongest military forces in China. Wang Li’s northern army surrounded Julu, while Zhang Han protected the southern approaches and maintained a fortified supply corridor that kept the siege alive. The anti-Qin armies had gathered outside the city, but none of them were willing to attack. This is the Battle of Julu—how a smaller Chu army broke the military system of China’s first empire.
