Siege of De'an
Siege in China in 1132
The siege of De'an (德安之戰) was fought as part of the Jin–Song Wars of China in 1132, during the Jin invasion of Hubei and Shaanxi. The battle between the besiegers, a group of rebels led by Li Heng and the Song Chinese defenders is important in global history as the first recorded instance of the fire lance, an early ancestor of firearms, being used in battle.
