唐代香积寺之战评析

Comments on the Battle of Xiangji Temple in Tang Dynasty

唐肃宗至德二年(757)的香积寺之战,是安史之乱中唐军收复长安的决定性战役,也是安史之乱的转折点。香积寺之战是唐军在吸取清渠之败的教训,在获取回纥骑兵的援助,并选取香积寺作为收复长安的新突破点后所采取的军事行动。香积寺之战极为惨烈,经历了初战失利、李嗣业稳住阵脚、回纥奇袭叛军两军夹击、叛军大败四个阶段。唐军在香积寺之战中歼灭了关中地区的安史叛军,收复了长安,并非是安史之乱得以延续的原因,而唐军选取香积寺作为收复长安的突破口,是香积寺之战取得成功的重要因素。但令人惋惜的是,香积寺之战虽使长安城免遭战火,但香积寺却在战火中受到严重破坏。
