Just looking at it, Li Chengji couldn't help but get distracted.

Of course, this is not to see any beautiful women. Rather, he was wondering what to do next.

After all, occupying Puhua is only the first step. Detailed planning, but he was not prepared at all. Even taking Pu Hua was a temporary idea.

Now that he calms down and thinks about it, he feels that Puhua is not a 'feng shui treasure'.

This is not to say that Puhua is not suitable for living, but that Puhua's location is too easy to covet. Any force that wants to set foot in the river will take the city in the shortest possible time.

Otherwise, the river will also be unstable.

Therefore, it is easy to run into trouble here.

If it were in peacetime, Lee Seung-ji would not have worried about this. But in the current situation, it is clearly impossible.

Otherwise, how dare Mahamat lead the army of Khorezm into the river?

And Puhua's weakness also lies in the fact that Puhua is located in the lower reaches of the Lili River. You know, in the middle of the river, there is less and less water. In the end, it even disappeared into the vast desert. Puhua is leaning on the edge of the desert and is vulnerable to the threat of desertification.

This can be seen by Li Chengji from the data trend of Puhua's total cultivated land getting smaller and smaller. If someone has other intentions and deliberately changes the direction of the water. Then Puhua City will become a ruined city.

When Khorezm attacked Puhua before, he thought of water attack.

Fortunately, the amount of water is not large, and it takes a lot of time to build a dam to store water. Otherwise, the Puritans will have to pay a lot of lives.

In addition, around Puhua, there are no famous mountains and rivers to defend! Therefore, foreign enemies come when they want and go when they want.

Such a city that can be called the land of four wars, if it wants to grow and develop, it is not so easy.

Thinking of this, Li Chengji couldn't help but feel annoyed.

But at present, it is impossible for him to let Pu Hua out.

After all, Puhua is an important hub connecting Arabia, the Central Plains, and the Indian subcontinent, and the economic benefits contained in it are self-evident.

The reason why the Burhan family has such a huge wealth is that the commercial tax accounts for 20%. The rest is also related to business. In agriculture, it can be ignored.

Although Li Chengji is not short of money now, it does not mean that there will be no shortage in the future.

In the end, it is only in and out, and after all, it is getting less and less. Even if it is a mountain of gold and silver, it will also see the bottom. And then with the big step, the power increases. The more people you can feed, the more you will be fed. The amount of money needed is even more massive.

Giving up the cornucopia of Puhua is really a big loss.

Thinking about it like this, Li Chengji thought of the Mongolian Iron Cavalry again.

If it really grows stronger, it will have the power to control the life and death of all people in Central Asia. It was a matter of time before the Mongols carried it.

Especially as the gap between the two sides widens, the probability of war will also increase.

This is the inertia of history!

Over the centuries, hundreds of dynasties, large and small, have all been under this historical inertia. or grow and develop, or be annexed and annihilated.

It's better to be a king or a loser.

So when one day you really encounter the Mongolian iron horse, how to control the enemy.

This question has been more or less considered since Li Chengji decided to embark on the road of becoming the king and hegemon. It's just not like today, it's thought out so carefully.

Judging from the current situation, the Mongolian army's cavalry and archery skills have reached the first-class standard. This was honed in the campaign to unify the Mongolian steppe. And in the old year, that is, in 1205, he also invaded Western Xia, broke the Lijili Village, plundered people and animals, and returned.

This military operation is no longer the same as the tribal annexation of the steppe.

Because Western Xia was different from Mongolia!

Under the baptism of the Central Plains culture, the Western Xia can be regarded as the Central Plains Dynasty. In addition, because civilly, the Western Xia implemented a policy of all the people being soldiers. Therefore, during the Northern Song Dynasty, both the Great Liao and the Song Dynasty repeatedly attacked Xia and were defeated.

It can be seen that Xixia is a hard bone.

However, the newly established Great Mongol Empire already had the confidence to compete with the Western Xia. And for the first time, it made Xixia suffer. It is enough to show that the military strength of the Great Mongol Empire cannot be underestimated.

In addition to the first time, Li Chengji also knew that the reason why the Mongolian army was so strong! It has nothing to do with the military regulations formulated by Temujin.

Originally, Mongolia was a plate of scattered sand, so when facing the Central Plains Dynasty, it was repeatedly suppressed. Now Temujin twisted it into a rope and made it work in one place. The energy exerted is also much greater than one plus one equals two.

Therefore, in order to restrain the Mongol army, it is necessary to occupy an absolute advantage on the battlefield. It is best to create a weapon that can greatly neutralize the cavalry and archery capabilities of the Mongol army.

"Sweaty BMW?" , Li Chengji's first thought was a horse! If there were no good horses, the strength of the Mongol army would definitely be affected. However, Mongolian horses are not fast on foot, but they have strong endurance. According to historical records, the Mongol army rode Mongolian horses and could run for several days and nights.

It was for this reason that many cities were taken by the Mongol army that suddenly killed them without preparation.

So even if you have a bloody BMW, the role it plays is limited.

After all, the victory or defeat of a war depends mainly on people.

Li Chengji's gaze immediately shifted to the weapon. Seeing the pattern of geese on the carpet again, he thought of the bow and arrow again.

In this regard, the Mongols had a strong advantage. Not only is the aim high, but it also shoots far away. It's also a good physical strength, and the arm strength is amazing. In order to bend the bow and shoot the eagle eagle!

For ordinary people, it is estimated that it is a bit laborious to pull out the bow hyun.

However, the central river region and the Khorasan region are also mostly nomadic people. Their riding and archery skills are not bad. With a little training, you can reach the level of the Mongols.

But Li Chengji is not willing to choose this kind of hard-hitting method.

Because this is a thousand kills, and eight hundred self-inflicted. Even if it wins, it's a pyrrhic victory.

It may be that the name of the Mongol army is too victorious!

Even in this age, it has not yet appeared. But Li Chengji is a person from the past and knows the horror of the Mongolian army. Therefore, he hopes to create a weapon that can occupy an absolute advantage on the battlefield.

"Firebolt?!" , he thought to himself.

As a hot weapon, when facing a cold weapon, instinctively has an advantage. But it's also to think about! Not to mention the current difficulty of making firearms, let's talk about whether the finished product can meet the conditions for killing the enemy.

He knew that the range of the firearm at the beginning was extremely low.

And the bows and arrows of the Mongols shot extremely far. If you get it on the battlefield, you can only be beaten passively. As a result, it will be a big loss.

Besides, time did not allow him to make a better firebolt.

"Is it only a shield?" , he thought unconsciously.

If you use a shield to resist one or two when shooting arrows, you may be able to defuse the Mongol offensive. But if that happens, it's the same as being beaten passively. The Mongols shot arrows and came to the foot of the wall.

"Hey! This...", Li Chengji sighed secretly.
