Hundreds of battles wear out iron clothes,

Lead the beaten army to ride home.

Appreciate:
This poem depicts the image of a very brave general in only four sentences. The first sentence is about the general's past military career. The armor that accompanied him to the war has been damaged, leaving many scars and arrows. Look at the long time he went to war and the fierce battle he experienced. Although this sentence is dressed in iron, it is equivalent to a brief description of the protagonist in the poem from a general point of view. With this sentence as a foreshadowing, he immediately wrote that he was facing a new severe test-"the south of the city has been encircled." There is a constant war beyond the Great Wall, and the south of the city is a retreat. However, Liancheng South has also been besieged by the enemy, and the whole army is in a desperate situation that may be wiped out by the whole army. Although there is only one sentence to write about the siege, it is like a close call, which makes people nervous.
"The sudden camp shot the general Hu Yan and led the wounded soldiers to ride home alone." Our battle-hardened hero chose him as the target, and killed him first when he suddenly attacked, making the enemy panic, taking the opportunity to fight out of the encirclement, leading the wounded soldiers alone and fighting our way out.
This poem is about a brave hero, and the war is generally a failure. But although failure is not frustrating, it shows heroism in failure. The words "lead the beaten army alone, ride home a thousand times" and "independence" are almost like a rainbow, overwhelming the enemy's hordes and giving people a sense of indomitable spirit. There is no portrait of the general in the poem, but through the tense battle scenes, the hero's spirit and spirit are extremely vivid and outstanding, leaving an unforgettable impression on people.
Comparing this soul-stirring breakthrough with the first sentence, people think that this is only the first battle in his "hundred battles". In this way, the breakthrough battle just now, as well as the whole battle course of the protagonist, have been rendered extraordinarily magnificent and completely legendary. Poetry makes people feel that what they see now is a group of defeated soldiers, and that the heroes who fought in these pools of blood are awe-inspiring and respectable. A poem like this, you dare to write a hard struggle, even failure, and show heroism and encouragement from failure. Without the spirit of the poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to write.
