Chapter 1009: A War Madman With Muddy Feelings

"Hey, look at the wall."

Di Tianhou suddenly made a new discovery.

Everyone immediately pointed the lights and flashlights at the walls.

Compared to the golden house next door, the walls of this house are already very "simple", without any gold and silver decorations, only murals!

The murals occupy the entire wall, which is spectacular and colorful. The most intriguing thing is that these murals are clearly old, but they are still well preserved!

"These murals are very similar to those in the Arzhai Grottoes." Professor Ge pondered.

The Arzhai Grottoes are the remains of the Ordos Plateau, commonly known as the "Baiyan Kiln", and are the only remaining late Buddhist grotto sites in the world.

In the Arzhai Grottoes group, there are nearly a thousand historical murals, including Genghis Khan's imperial appearance map.

It is said that when Genghis Khan conquered the Western Xia, the General Command was located there. The "Mongolian Secret History" records in detail the entire process of Genghis Khan recovering from his wounds and convening a meeting of generals. He led his army to defeat the Western Xia army in Helan Mountain regardless of the pain.

Due to the story left by Genghis Khan in the Arzhai Grottoes, the Mongols have long paid homage to Genghis Khan. During the entire Mongolian Empire, the Arja Grotto Temple, like the Eight White House, has always been one of several memorial halls of different natures to pay homage to Genghis Khan.

Although the styles and characteristics of the murals that are presented to everyone, the contents in the paintings are completely different.

For example, the first picture is the battle scene in the mountains!

"The battle in this mountain ridge...is probably the battle of the Yehu Ridge." Professor Ge speculated.

"It is the decisive battle between the Mongols and the Jin Jurchens?" Di Tianhou also had some understanding of this history.

The hatred between the Mongolians and the Jurchens is surging.

During the period when the Jurchen tribe of the Jin Dynasty was prosperous, inhumane exploitation and bullying were carried out on the Mongols. For example, Genghis Khan's ancestor, Anbahakhan, was executed by the Jin Dynasty on a "wooden donkey" for rebellion. In addition, the Jin Dynasty not only asked Mongolia to pay tribute, but also sent troops to the north every three years, which was called "reduced", which aroused the Mongols' infinite resentment.

When Temujin was elected as Genghis Khan of Mongolia, the Mongolian tribe was unified. After several years of savings of strength, Genghis Khan decided to attack Jin under the name of revenge for his ancestors, and the Mongolian and Jin war broke out.

At Yehuling, the two armies took on a key battle that determined the fate of both sides!

In this battle, Genghis Khan commanded a 100,000 army to concentrate on attacking the 100,000 elite troops of the Jin army, and then took advantage of the victory to expand the results. The Mongolian army won a great victory. The Jin Kingdom suffered more than 200,000 casualties, and the rest fled, and they were no longer able to resist the Mongolian cavalry.

After the Battle of Yehuling, the two sides rose and fell, and the Jin Kingdom suffered consecutive setbacks, resulting in a coup within the Jin Kingdom and accelerated the demise of the Jin Kingdom.

The Mongol Yuan power rose up and became the biggest overlord in the north at that time, and then began to have a grand career of fighting against the sky, earth and the world!

The mural in front of me vividly describes the situation of the war at that time.

Although there is suspicion of deliberately "beautifying the Mongolian Yuan" and "uglying the Jin Kingdom", it can basically be seen that the Jin Kingdom was crushed by the Mongolian Yuan army during the battle.

"Look at it, in the middle of the Mongolian and Yuan army, could the man who was particularly tall and fierce, be Genghis Khan?" Di Tianhou shined at the center of the mural with the flashlight.

The man riding a horse and shooting archery was the C position of the backbone in the Mongolian and Yuan army. Compared with other stereotyped characters, the man's facial features and figure were depicted in detail, delicate and delicate, invisibly showing a domineering aura of no other than me!

At this point, everyone basically understood that the murals in front of them all depicted the achievements of Genghis Khan’s life!

"The second mural is about besieging the city... It should be that Genghis Khan led his army to surround Zhongdu, the capital of the Jin Dynasty, a few years later. Here, Genghis Khan was surrendered to a generation of famous minister Yelu Chucai. Relying on the various policy strategies proposed by Yelu Chucai, it laid the foundation for the development of the Mongol Empire and the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty..."

"The third painting, the fourth painting and the fifth painting are the background of the desert and snow-capped mountains. I guess it should be Genghis Khan's history of the Western Expedition. In this process, Genghis Khan successively destroyed the Western Liao and Khwarezm, and finally fought to the Caucasus and destroyed several countries..."

"But this is far from over. Next, Genghis Khan waved his troops towards Kiev, Ukraine, and the Volga River, almost flattened several European countries at that time. If it weren't for the plague that broke out later, Genghis Khan would have really conquered the entire Europe..."

The lighting illuminates these murals one by one. Based on the content of the murals, Professor Ge brought Genghis Khan's tough life one by one, which almost made everyone's mood integrate into this powerful war history, and his mood was turbulent.

These murals depicting the war are enough to cover Genghis Khan's legendary experience and brilliant achievements in the battles between the south and the north.

It can be said that Genghis Khan is simply a war madman with deep feelings!

Whoever doesn’t accept him or whoever is unhappy, just beat him!

Specializes in treating all kinds of dissatisfaction!

"Well...the last painting." Professor Ge saw the mural on the last.

This mural also depicts the siege.

However, compared to encircling the capital of the Jin Kingdom, the scene of this siege is much more tragic.

Countless soldiers were attacking a giant city with weapons, while the city gates were closed, arrows on the city walls were raining, and large stones appeared in the air from time to time, causing heavy casualties and injuries to the siege.

Not far from the city gate, there are two very tall trees. There are many ropes tied up in the middle of the trees. Many people constantly pull the ropes connecting the two trees backwards, pulling the two trees into arc shapes.

In the middle of those ropes, there was a huge thick wood, and the distance between the two trees was about eight meters. In this way, it was equivalent to forming the two trees into an extremely huge slingshot, and the thick wood in the middle was a huge "bow and arrow".

Judging from the degree of bending of the two trees, as long as the people behind let go, they believe that the "bow and arrow" will shoot towards the city with thunderous momentum, and the direction of the "arrow" is the city gate that cannot be captured for a long time.

"This should be the last battle of Genghis Khan, the battle of Western Xia!" Song Che had already seen the clues.

The Battle of Xixia was also one of the greatest battles in Genghis Khan's life, but it was also his "defeat battle".

The reason why it is said to be great is that the way to transform trees into powerful weapons for siege was Genghis Khan cleverly.

As for why it was the "Fail of Slayer". As we all know, Xixia Kingdom was the hardest bone among all Genghis Khan's opponents.

This small northwest country showed amazing resilience and courage in the process of resisting the Mongol Yuan.

From emperors to civilians, they were full of the will to fight to the end. It was said that the whole nation was full of soldiers. This caused the Mongolian and Yuan army to suffer a lot and suffered heavy losses. It even made Genghis Khan spend all his life here.

Because of this, after the destruction of the Western Xia Kingdom, the Mongolian and Yuan army launched an unprecedented crazy massacre on the Xixia people in order to retaliate, which also led to almost no clues to the archaeology of the Western Xia today.

It’s like watching a war blockbuster, everyone’s mood can’t calm down for a long time.
