Battle of Han Tui

The Battle of Han Tui was an early battle in The War between the Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom. The Fire Nation forces were commanded by Fire Lord Sozin. Despite being outnumbered, the Fire Nation won the battle due to Sozin's military and tactical advantages.

Battle
Though very little is known about the battle, it is understood that the city of Han Tui was besieged by Fire Lord Sozin's troops. Although his army was outnumbered, Sozin carefully calculated his advantages; a prolonged drought had both limited the supplies of the defenders and created ideal conditions for a wildfire, while Han Tui's position downwind of the Fire Nation army meant that the flames would spread toward the city. With the defenses completely obliterated in minutes, Sozin's forces then advanced towards the city and won the battle.

Aftermath
While the aftermath of the battle is not clear, Han Tui is thought to have been occupied by Fire Nation Military. Han Tui was later freed from the Fire Nation after the Battle at Wulong Forest and the crowning of Prince Zuko.
