There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 567 Attack on Tubo ([-])

Chengdu Prefecture.

In the state government office of Chengdu Prefecture, Li Chu took out a satellite aerial map, and then modified the map based on the information sent by Gao Mingshun.

Among the tribes of Tubo, there are three tribes whose geographical location borders the Great Song Dynasty.

One is in the northwest, Tuosi Mabu.

In addition to the border with Qinfeng Road in the Song Dynasty, the Tusi Ma Department also borders with the Xixia Kingdom.

The Achai tribe, on the top of the Tuosima tribe, controls Qingtang City, one of the five cities in Tubo, and borders Xixia and Huangtou Huihe.

The other two, one is Wusi Department.

The Wusi Department originally did not border the Great Song Dynasty, but bordered Dali, Yunnan. Now that Dali has merged into the Dali Song Dynasty and became the Yunnan Road of the Song Dynasty, the Wusi Department also bordered the Dali Song Dynasty.

And in the southeast of Wusibu and Tuosimabu, there is a tribe called Ganbu.

The territory of this tribe is relatively large, occupying one-fifth of the territory of Tubo.The main border with the Song Dynasty is the Ganbu. From Qinfeng Road in the Song Dynasty all the way south to Shanju County on Yunnan Road, the west side of this boundary line is the territory of the Ganbu.

Although this dare department occupies one-fifth of the entire territory of Tubo, it is a relatively low-key party among the Tubo tribes.

Although the territory is large, its military strength is not as good as that of the neighboring Tuosi Mabu and Wusibu.

Moreover, not long ago, the Tusima tribe threatened one of the daughters of King Ganbu to marry the prince of the Tusima tribe. At the beginning, this incident caused a lot of turmoil among the Tubo tribes. The two tribes fought a battle at the foot of Bayangla Mountain. Gan tribe lost and had to send their daughter there.

On the map, Li Chu marked and annotated the locations of the tribes such as Ganbu, Tuosimabu, Achaibu, Wusibu, etc. on the map one by one, and also marked the locations of the Tubo tribes in the west one by one. On the map, they were marked according to the information sent by Gao Mingshun.

In this way, a map of the strength of the Tubo tribes was initially formed.

After it was finished, Li Chu asked the customization system to scan the map of Tubo tribes that had been edited and graffitied by him, and asked the customization system to recreate a complete and clean map based on the graffiti on the map.

The new map uses different color blocks to represent the sphere of influence of each Tubo tribe.

In this way, this new map of the various tribes of Tubo can clearly understand the situation of Tubo at a glance.

After finishing this, Li Chu was thinking about how to enter Tubo.

The reason why Tubo is called Tubo is so mysterious, and the reason why the western border of the previous dynasty stopped at Chengdu is largely due to the Tibetan plateau.

Sichuan is a basin, and to the west there are endless mountains and mountains with very high altitudes.

When the altitude is high, people will have a disease called 'altitude sickness'.

The so-called altitude sickness is a variety of pathological reactions that occur after the human body is rapidly exposed to a low-pressure and hypoxic environment. It is a common disease unique to plateau areas.Common symptoms include headache, insomnia, loss of appetite, tiredness, and difficulty breathing.Headache is the most common symptom, and the pain worsens at night or upon waking up in the morning.Increased pulmonary ventilation, such as mouth breathing and mild activity, can relieve headaches.

The incidence of altitude sickness is related to the uphill speed, altitude, residence time and physical fitness.Generally speaking, 3000% to 50% of people in the plains will experience altitude sickness when they quickly enter the plateau with an altitude of 75m or more, but the symptoms will gradually disappear after 3 to 10 days of acclimatization.

It is also simple to overcome this altitude sickness.

Two words, adapt!

Just don’t go up to a place with a high altitude all at once, for example, go to an area at an altitude of 2500 meters first, stay in this area for a few days, and after getting used to it, start to climb to an area at an altitude of 3000 meters, and then adapt to it for a few days. Then go to the 4000-altitude area, and when the 4000-altitude area can adapt, the altitude sickness of the entire Tubo-Tibet Plateau will no longer appear.

Fortunately, Li Chu had already prepared for this matter.

That is Dali!
This is why Li Chu wants to win Dali.

The terrain of Dali is also an area with continuous mountains.

It's just that his altitude is not as high and terrifying as the Tubo-Tibet Plateau.

The average altitude is around 3000 to [-], and the closer to the Tubo border, the higher the altitude, which can reach more than [-].

Tubo, this is a place that Li Chu must win.

Therefore, Dali was laid down for the purpose of training troops.

Let the army adapt to the plateau terrain and climate in Dali first. Then when the troops enter Tubo, the so-called altitude sickness will no longer occur.Without altitude sickness, the biggest enemy, what would happen to the mountains in Tubo?
Once this layer of veil is lifted, there will be nothing in Tubo.

At least that's the case for now. Due to the long-term war, Tubo's military strength has declined very quickly.

Because, according to the information passed by Gao Mingshun.

As the most powerful Wusi tribe among the Tubo tribes, the overall number of soldiers capable of fighting is only [-]!
Thirty thousand, what kind of concept is this?
The 11 also includes a large number of children around 50 years old and elderly people over [-] years old.

The strength of the other departments will only be lower than that of the Wusi department.

There are three ways to enter Tubo from Chengdu.

One is to enter from Lizhou and follow the ancient road into Tubo.

One is to enter from the Minjiang River in the west of Chengdu. After crossing the Minjiang River, there is a mountain road that can enter Tubo. However, this road is a small road, and it is not convenient for a large army to move forward.

The remaining one is from Yazhou.

This Yazhou is the route that Li Chu led the army into Yunnan. The difference is that this route has a branch in the west, and this branch can enter Tubo.This is a river named Shiyang River. This river flows out of the Tubo Plateau. The river washes out a relatively wide impact plain, just like the road going south to Dali.

This road can accommodate large armies to enter.

There is another road from Dali, but this road is more difficult and dangerous, and the mountain is also the highest and most dangerous, and it also has to pass through a large amount of uninhabited mountain forests.Gao Mingshun entered Tibet through this route.

However, there must be an excuse to invade Tubo.

Sir wants me to make a fuss here.

If this is the case, why not make a bigger incident out?In this way, there is also an excuse to enter Tubo.

Li Chu called Li Han and asked Li Han to arrange two thousand Qilin soldiers to wait for orders.

These two thousand soldiers have all adapted to the plateau in Dali, but they have only stayed at an altitude of 3000 at the highest.

3000 altitude is enough.

From the satellite map, he already knew the altitude of the western part of Yazhou.

"Customization system, I want to customize [-] sets of clothes and weapons for the Tubo Ganbu."
