Chapter 200 The fishing town of the Liang Dynasty!
The village at Lu Xu's feet and Diaoyu City still have some commonalities.
For example, they are all deep in the mountains and forests far away from the towns. Such a location determines that it is difficult for the large army to unfold.
How powerful was the military power of the Mongolian Empire when it was at its peak? They were able to defeat the Southern Song Dynasty because they used the power of a continent to defeat a country. Among their army to destroy Song, many Seme people from Central Asia, West Asia and even Europe
.
In other words, Mongolia almost used half of the Eurasian continent to fight a Southern Song Dynasty, which destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty.
However, when their Mengge Dahan personally mongol commanded Diaoyu City, he had only 40,000 troops. In the later battles, although the Mongols continued to increase their investment in Diaoyu City, the army besieged Diaoyu City was also at its peak.
But there are only about 100,000 people.
That’s it! We must also count the craftsmen in the army and the farmers responsible for logistics supply.
Is this because the Mongolian army is trying to attack too many strategic areas? Of course, there are factors in this regard, but Diaoyu City is not conducive to the army's combat is also an important factor.
Even if the Mongolian army had only these forces, they often had no food when they besieged Diaoyu City for a long time. Diaoyu City was easy to defend but difficult to attack, which was not only reflected in the combat difficulties of the troops participating in the offensive, but also it was difficult for the logistics supply troops to effectively supply the combat needs of the army.
However, Diaoyu City itself can be self-sufficient, and even uses the food in the city to induce the Mongolian army outside the city to reversely lure the Mongolian army outside the city. This is why Diaoyu City can last for 36 years.
The bandits' village is no less than Diaoyu City in terms of mountainous situations and easy defense and difficult attack. The reason why Lu Xu did not seem to have spent too much effort to capture this village was because he participated in the battle this time.
Neither side of the country is a large force.
In addition, the bandits were far from Lu Xu in terms of technical strength and military strength, so Lu Xu could easily capture this village.
But if Lu Xu had guarded the city, the people of Beiting would not have blinked if they didn't mobilize tens of thousands of troops.
What is the difference between this village and Diaoyu City? That is, Diaoyu City is a place with abundant resources. When the Mongolian army besieged Diaoyu City, the military and civilians in the city could still have fish to eat.
This is obviously something that the bandits' village does not have. Lu Xu has learned about the land situation around him. When he besieged the village these days, Lu Xu has also inspected the surrounding land.
According to Lu Xu's judgment, if these lands are used as ordinary mountainous lands to provide some ordinary plants, there is no problem.
However, if these lands are to be used as arable land, the land here will be slightly barren and the land fertility is obviously insufficient. This will lead to the absolute inability to increase the grain output here, and the mountains here are obviously too complex and the difficulty of reclamation is also
Some are too big.
In addition, this place has been entrenched by bandits for more than 200 years, and the surrounding animals have already agreed that this is the territory of the "terrifying upright ape". They will not come here. There is no fish pond with abundant resources like Diaoyu City. I hope it will be
It is obviously unrealistic to easily support more than 100,000 people here like Diaoyu City.
However, these problems can be solved. Inconvenient cultivation does not mean that cultivation cannot be carried out. The bandits are unwilling to cultivate because they are just a group of bandits, and they do not make a living by farming, so even if cultivation is cultivated, it is useless for them.
Lu Xu is naturally different, and the problem of insufficient land fertility is not impossible to solve. Lu Xu happens to know some methods of soil fertilizer. Of course, it is not ordinary farm fertilizer, but what some agronomists in modern society think of can make
Farmers use local materials to make fertilizers that are fertile with good fertility.
In this case, no matter how barren the properties here are, Lu Xu would not have been trapped to death by the enemy like Pei Junxiong.
Of course, even if Lu Xu had these methods, he would not be able to support more than 100,000 people just by land between this size just like Diaoyu City.
But he doesn't need to support more than 100,000 people. With him in Beiting, it is impossible for him to occupy Qinfeng Road for a long time. He doesn't need to confront Beiting people here for a long time. Lu Xu believes that most of the time he can get along with the outside world.
Get in touch.
In addition, when Diaoyucheng began to confront the Mongols, the Southern Song Dynasty was declining at an accelerated pace, while Mongolia was rising rapidly. The Southern Song Dynasty became increasingly vulnerable in front of the Mongols.
This allowed the Mongols to assemble a hundred thousand troops under Diaoyu City, and on the other hand, they could successfully destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.
Although Daliang has shown signs of doomsday, it is this dynasty rather than this nation that is about to face doomsday. Daliang cannot defeat the Beiting people, which does not mean that the nations on this land cannot defeat the Beiting people.
The people of Beiting are far less powerful than the Mongols. It is impossible for them to assemble a 100,000 army in Lu Xu, and it is probably very difficult to even let them assemble a 40,000 army.
According to Lu Xu's understanding of the people of Beiting, if they gathered about 50,000 troops on their side, their overall strategic goal of attacking Daliang this time would be greatly affected.
Besides, even if the Beiting people really have their heads twitched, they have to take Lu Xu down. Lu Xu is not afraid!
When the battle of Diaoyu City was at its greatest disparity in the military strength between the two sides, the Mongolian army invested 100,000 troops, while the regular troops of the Diaoyu City defenders were only about 4,600. But the Mongolian army still couldn't do anything to Diaoyu City?
Lu Xu believed that with his own ability, even if he could not gather 5,000 troops, he would have enough 3,000 troops.
And I don’t need to support more than 100,000 people like Diaoyu City. After all, I don’t need to “fight one country with one city”. I can simply turn the village into a military camp, so that my economic pressure will be much smaller.
The final problem is that Diaoyu City is a strong city that has been built on three large-scale constructions and took more than ten years.
But Lu Xu obviously couldn't mobilize so much manpower, material resources and financial resources to build a strong city.
but!
Lu Xu had wooden bone mud and three-metal soil technology, so he could quickly build a city with online strength. After all, the enemies he faced were not as powerful as the Mongolian Empire, and his city could not be as strong as Diaoyu City.
According to Lu Xu's prediction, it would be enough for his own city to accommodate 10,000 people by then. Then his own city can be less large than Diaoyu City.
More importantly, Lu Xu also has a way to prevent Beiting people from siegeing.
Lu Xu was able to break through this village because the main protective force of this village was the wooden fence, but Lu Xu had a killer weapon like Huihui cannon in his hand.
But!
Even if Lu Xu had Huihui cannons, it took him two days to completely destroy a village wall when he used Huihui cannons to bombard such a wooden village wall for the first time.
Is Huihui Cannon so weak? Obviously not!
The mystery is also one of the sources of confidence that Lu Xu thinks he can build a city here for a long time.
