桂林是太平军攻打的第一个省会城市,桂林战役在太平天国军事史上占有重要地位。太平军在桂林战役中失败的原因是多方面的。在雨量过大的季节攻打易守难攻的桂林城,不占“天时”“地利”优势,注定了太平军难以取胜。军事力量不足,即可作战的人数较少,武器装备较差,是太平军在桂林战役中失败的根本原因。刺探清军的情报不顺,反而泄露自己的情报,对太平军作战极其不利。不积极拉拢作为第三方的缙绅和民众,反而制造与其之间的矛盾,太平军失去了壮大力量的机会。 Guilin was the first capital city the Taipings attacked. The battle of Guilin occupied an important position in the military history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. There are many reasons why the Taiping army failed in the battle of Guilin. In the season of excessive rainfall, it is difficult for Taiping to win the victory in Guilin City, where it is easy to defend and defend hard-to-defeat. Inadequate military power means that fewer people can fight and weapons and equipment are poorer, which is the root cause of the failure of the Taiping army in the battle of Guilin. To spy on the Qing intelligence is not smooth, but leaked his intelligence, extremely unfavorable to the Taiping combat. Instead of aggressively drawing gentry and people as third parties, instead of creating conflicts with them, the Taipings have lost the opportunity to grow their strength.
