The fighting power of the Jin State once made the Liao State and the Song Dynasty fearful. Most of the soldiers of the Jin State were Jurchens and were aggressive. In the spring of 1211 A.D., Genghis Khan attacked the Jin State for the first time, and although the Jin State was already declining, there were still outstanding military figures.
The state of Jin adopted a defense-oriented strategy, which was formulated under the auspices of Prime Minister Duji Sizhong. He was well versed in Genghis Khan and the Mongol cavalry, and believed that defensive tactics should be fully utilized. However, in Genghis Khan's opinion, defensive tactics were used only when the enemy appeared cowardly.
Dugis was deeply aware of the weaknesses of the Mongol cavalry, and the strategy he developed can be summed up in two words: perfect. By building fortresses along the offensive routes of the Mongol cavalry, and with the help of various cities, he managed to make it impossible for Genghis Khan to break through easily.
Genghis Khan's Mongol cavalry was blocked in Fuzhou, and Duji Sizhong personally advanced the Fuzhou defense line on the front line, sent elite soldiers to guard Wusha Castle, and vowed to keep Genghis Khan out of the defense line. Genghis Khan felt the power in the face of the defense of the Jin state.
The Jin people relied on strong walls to resist, using bows and arrows, rolling logs, boiling water, boiling oil, and other various ** to make it impossible for the Mongols to get close to the city walls. At the same time, the Jin people harassed Genghis Khan while the Mongols were retreating or resting.
However, the defensive strategy also had its limitations, and Genghis Khan realized that only by cutting off the enemy's logistical supply would the walls would be self-defeating, no matter how strong. He sent a large number of cavalry to search for the grain and grass of the Jin soldiers, and finally found a large amount of grain and grass hoarded by the Jin soldiers in the Wuyue camp.
The Wuyue battalion did not have strong walls, which made it difficult to withstand the attack of the Mongol cavalry. Genghis Khan invaded the Wuyue camp and burned the grain and grass of the Jin people. After learning the news, Du Ji Sizhong had no choice but to abandon the Fuzhou defense line and return to the capital.
After Genghis Khan broke through the Jin defenses, he was unstoppable and quickly attacked the capital of the Jin state, Zhongdu (present-day Beijing), which eventually led to the surrender of the Jin state and the submission of Genghis Khan.
Genghis Khan was adept at manipulating the enemy, using the method of cutting off the enemy's logistics to break through the strong defenses of the Jin State. His tactical mastery, his ability to detect enemy weaknesses, and his military genius were fully demonstrated.
How to break the Jin Guojian City in a war?The invincible tactics of Genghis Khan's army are revealed!
Genghis Khan showed extraordinary military wisdom and strategic vision in the process of breaking through the strong defense line of the Jin State, and he skillfully used military tactics to profoundly reveal the limitations of defensive strategy. This historical story is thought-provoking, full of wisdom of military strategy and insight into the nature of warfare.
First of all, as the prime minister of the Jin State, Duji Sizhong had a deep understanding of Genghis Khan and the Mongol cavalry, and the defensive strategy he formulated was manifested in building fortresses on the offensive route of the Mongol cavalry, relying on the cities in various places to arrange the defensive line. However, this tactic proved ineffective in the face of Genghis Khan's Mongol legions. Genghis Khan was keenly aware of the defensive strategy of the Jin State and was good at finding out the enemy's weaknesses.
Secondly, the inherent shortcomings of the defensive strategy were exposed in the eyes of Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan understood the importance of timing, and he understood that a passive approach should only be taken when the enemy appeared cowardly, cowardly, and unable to resist. He succeeded in making the strong walls of the Kingdom of Jin self-defeating by cutting off the logistical supply of the Kingdom of Jin. This showed Genghis Khan's military acumen, and his flexible use of tactics made him invincible on the battlefield.
In addition, Genghis Khan's actions also highlighted his deep insight into the enemy and excellent command skills. He sent a large number of cavalry to search for the grain and grass of the soldiers of the Jin State, and finally found the logistics base of the Jin State in the Wuyue Camp. This action fully demonstrated Genghis Khan's accurate grasp of the enemy's psychology and the laws of war, and laid the foundation for the later capture of the capital of Jin.
Finally, this historical story teaches us that flexible tactics and the ability to penetrate deep into the enemy in military warfare are crucial. Genghis Khan's victory was due not only to his military brilliance, but also to his thorough insight into the strategy and psychology of the enemy. This historical story provokes us to think about military wisdom, war tactics, and leaders, and Genghis Khan's tactical methods are worthy of being outstanding in history.
