The scale of this battle is unprecedented, and it has far-reaching influence in the history of wars in China and the world. It is called "Waterloo of the East" by experts. The touching and beautiful stories such as "Besieged on All Sides", "House of Flying Daggers" and "Farewell My Concubine" are widely circulated among the people.
