Battle of Diaoyu City

"The Defense of Diaoyu City" is a magnificent historical work that deeply analyzes Hezhou Diaoyu City's fight against the Mongolian invasion during the Southern Song Dynasty. It meticulously restores the shocking process of how this eastern Sichuan fortress stood tall amidst the frenzy of Mongolian cavalry sweeping across Europe and Asia in the mid-13th century. It lasted for thirty-six years and finally killed the Mongol Khan Mengge, turning the tide of the war in Asia and Europe. The work starts from the grand background of "black clouds over the city", narrates the rise of Mongolia and its global expansion, and deeply analyzes the underlying reasons and strategic layout of the outbreak of the Song-Mongolia War. Later, with "God Breaking the Whip" as the core, it focused on the construction background, terrain advantages, defenses and the heroic resistance of the defender Wang Jian and others of the Diaoyu City Fortress, vividly depicting this famous siege battle in the cold weapon era. Finally, through "Shifting the World", we look forward to the historical changes in the post-war Mongolian civil strife and the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, revealing the profound impact of the Battle of Diaoyu City on the history of China and the world.
