Chapter 966: Mongolian-style Great Detour!
"Mongol extermination of the Song Dynasty?"
This really touched Chu Tian's blind spot.
Chutian knew that Kublai Khan's Mongol Empire had destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty and established the Yuan Dynasty, but Chutian did not know how the Mongol army would attack the Song Dynasty.
The Song and Yuan wars lasted for decades, and when Meng Ge served as the Great Khan of Mongolia, due to the lack of a strong sailor, he ordered his brother Kublai Khan and Wuliang Hetai, the son of Subutai, to lead an army from Liangzhou, passing through western Sichuan and Tubo, conquering Dali, and encircling Sichuan and Shu. From the south, you can go north to attack Chengdu, or, through Jiaozhou, down the river, attack the four counties of Jingnan. β
Summer Cool points out an amazing big detour route on the big map - the Mongolian big detour.
Chu Tian suffocated slightly, few people would consider a big detour tactic that was thousands of kilometers long.
When the Mongol Empire was at its strongest, with the mobility of the Mongol army, it was the best at detouring and destroying many civilizations with its mobility.
Attacking Sichuan and Shu, Jiangdong, the heroes in the north usually follow the rules, capture Hanzhong and Xiangyang, and then destroy Shu and go down the river.
However, Meng Ge ordered Kublai Khan and Wuliang Hetai to cross the western Sichuan Plateau, destroy Dali, attack Annan, and contain the forces of the Southern Song Dynasty from the rear of the Southern Song Dynasty to achieve the goal of destroying the Song Dynasty.
If Meng Ge hadn't been killed by a stray arrow in Diaoyu City, maybe the Southern Song Dynasty would have perished ahead of schedule.
It's just that Meng Ge, as the Great Khan of Mongolia, wanted to surpass Temujin and go into battle in person, but he died in Sichuan and Shu.
"The final result was the death of MΓΆngke, and the great detour strategy also failed. I remember that Kublai Khan succeeded Meng Ke to destroy the Song Dynasty and chose Xiangyang as a breakthrough, which was still the traditional route to the south. β
After a reminder of the cool summer, Chutian probably recalled the rough process of the Mongols' destruction of the Song Dynasty.
The Mongol Empire marched south three times in an attempt to destroy the Song state.
For the first time, the Mongol Great Khan Wokotai, the third son of Temujin, ordered hundreds of thousands of Mongol troops to start from the Huai River in the east and Bashu in the west, and launched a full-scale attack on the Southern Song Dynasty. Meng Heng, the master of mobile defense in the Southern Song Dynasty, defended to the death, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and Wokotai died of illness, and the main force of the Mongolian army returned to the north and temporarily dismissed the army.
The second time, the Mongolian Khan Meng Ge, the grandson of Temujin, implemented the Mongolian style of the Great Detour, destroyed Dali, and the three-way army comprehensively attacked the Song Dynasty, Meng Ge unified the main Mongolian force into Shu, with Sichuan and Shu as a breakthrough, Wuliang Hetai attacked Jingnan, almost successful, but Meng Ge died in battle, and the main force of the Mongolian army returned to the north to compete for the throne.
The third time, the Mongol Khan Kublai Khan, the younger brother of Meng Ge, besieged Xiangyang for several years, used Xiangyang artillery and sailors to break through Fancheng, forced Xiangyang to surrender, and finally destroyed the Song Dynasty.
The first two Mongol armies destroyed the Song Dynasty, all of which ended in a hurry with the death of the Great Khan, and the luck of the Southern Song Dynasty has always been good. Jin attacked the Song Dynasty, and famous Zhongxing generals such as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Wu Jue turned the tide. The Mongol attack on the Song Dynasty also gave birth to Meng Hui and others, and two Mongol Great Khans, one died of illness and the other died in battle, delaying the time of destruction. It's a pity that the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty were incompetent and ultimately failed to take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack.
In the three attacks on the Song Dynasty, the Mongols had tried almost all other means except by sea.
For Chutian, the Mongol-Song War still has reference value.
The situation faced by the Mongol Empire and the Xia Kingdom of Chutian was too similar.
The Mongol army was so strong at that time, each attack on the Song Dynasty lasted for several years, and there were many casualties, which was almost exactly the same as Chutian's current situation, and even the territory of the Mongol Empire and Chutian was very similar. Chutian is the real Mongol Empire in the lord world, and they all want to annex the south as soon as possible, but they are blocked by the Qinling Mountains and the Yangtze River, and the princes who defend the south are not weak.
Chu Tian drew a circuitous route on the map.
The Mongolian detour is more thrilling than Deng Ai's route of smuggling through Yinping and attacking Chengdu.
Of course, Chu Tian could send troops to reproduce the Mengke-style detour.
It's just that starting from Liangzhou and passing through the western Sichuan Plateau, the difficulty of such a surprise attack is simply incredible.
The Dali Kingdom during the Mongol Empire was actually the Nanban region during the Three Kingdoms period.
"Attacking Chengdu or Changsha from the south is a long way, and it is not easy to ...... supplies"
Despite this, Chu Tian still carefully considered the matter of attacking the Southern Barbarians from the western Sichuan Plateau.
Xia Liang said: "As long as there is a teleportation array, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to transport weapons and grain and grass from the north to the southern barbarians." It's just a bit expensive. β
"Money is not an issue."
Chu Tian's eyes lit up.
In "Lord", because of the existence of the teleportation array, it is indeed possible to implement many seemingly impossible strategies.
The United States even directly intervened in the battlefield of Goryeo through the teleportation array, but because of the high cost of the teleportation array, the United States only sent a 30,000-strong Fire Dragon Legion to support the Goryeo king Yi Sung-gye.
"Summons Huo An and Mu Ke to see me."
Chu Tian had something in his heart.
The Western Regions Protectorate, Luntai City, Huo An took his son to farm outside the city, and he could see the majestic Tianshan Mountain.
That's right, the biggest problem of the Western Regions Protectorate is food and water, so Tuntian is very important in the Western Regions Protectorate.
Huo An wants to feed the 400,000 army in the Western Regions, and he has done his best.
He led the officials of the Western Regions Protectorate to reclaim farmland at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, bringing the farming traditions of the Central Plains to the Tianshan Mountains.
A lot of the grain and grass in the Western Regions Protectorate actually came from the military tuntian.
Mu Ke took his little daughter with him.
After the annexation of the Great Wan Kingdom, the Protectorate of the Western Regions did not intervene in the disputes in Central Asia, focusing on defense and was peaceful, so Huo An lived a relatively stable life.
"Damn, this kind of field is much harder than fighting."
Huo An scolded and scolded, but still waved his hoe and led by example.
At least 100,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Tuntian near Luntai City.
Huo An's son was only eight or nine years old, and sitting on the edge of the field, there was a small group of imperial hussars responsible for protecting the eldest prince of the Western Regions Protectorate.
Shi Wang Xuance, the governor of the Western Regions, found Huo An: "King Xia asked the lord to go to Xia City to discuss the attack on Shu Han. β
"It's hard for me to help in attacking Shu Han."
Huo An thought about it, and it seemed that there was nothing to do with him.
However, since Chu Tian is looking for it, then he still has to go.
Huo An said to Mu Ke: "Take the two children and visit the Xia Wangfu, and let them meet their aunt by the way." Chu Zimou may want to use the chess pieces we left in Nanban. β
Mu Ke, who used to guard the Nanban, probably guessed the purpose of Chu Tian summoning them to the Xia Palace: "But Liu Bei left an army of 100,000 in the Nanban region and controlled the few two or three teleportation arrays in the Nanban. Liu Bei's general guarding the Nanban was the famous Wu Han among the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai. And the Nanban tribe, although quite brave, their tribal leaders are not intelligent and difficult to achieve. β
"That's why we need the generals of the Western Regions Protectorate. Chen Tang, the matter of Tuntian is entrusted to you. β
Huo An left Chen Tang, the general of the Western Regions Protectorate, to be in charge of Tuntian, and then went to Xia City.
Xiacheng, the main city of Chutian, has been placed under martial law, with 100,000 troops, and is preparing to send troops to recover the eastern counties occupied by the Eastern Wu Naval Division.
Huo An and Mu Ke came to Xia City and found that this city was heavily guarded, and they couldn't help but wonder: "Xia City has always been prosperous, why is it heavily guarded today?" β
"Lord Daduhu, the Jiangdong Navy Division set out from Jianye to attack the coastal area, and our King Xia has gathered troops and is ready to counterattack."
"The Jiangdong Army is attacking across the sea? Have ideas. β
Huo An thought that Tongque crossed the sea to attack Chutian, and Chutian wanted to implement a Mongolian-style detour, and the offensive of the north and south was wide open, and I am afraid that only the civil war of the Han Empire could be so imaginative.
The Han guard reminds you: Ask for a collection after reading (), and then look at it more conveniently.
