>General: "We'll set up defenses around your palace immediately!"
>Emperor: "No! Send your troops to protect my people!"
Wait, WHAT?
So if the Emperor hadn't told the army to go on the offensive, they would've just waited until all their other cities were sacked and plundered and the palace was under siege?
Holy shit...
Gotta protect the emperor at all costs. Unless he tells you otherwise.
>>81469582
not like they actually protected the people
>>81469669
to be fair they did try, they just weren't very good at it.
>>81469689
let's not couch it in safe language, they were pretty terrible at it
>>81469582
This is pretty much how Imperial China operated yes. Peasant lives were cheap. The Emperor was literally a God.
>Chinese
>Giving a fuck about people
>>81469582
Dude, first emperor of China literally had his men buried alive with him when he died.
>>81469706
Now that you mention it, why were they so terrible at it? I mean, they had rockets ffs, how do you screw up so badly when you have rockets? I mean, seriously what kind of tactical genius was this guy to completely outwit the Chinese army, but get out smarted by some random soldier, even if he was the manlyist basterd ever
>>81469582
No matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it.
>>81469795
I think it was just surprise+sheer numbers
like did you SEE how many dudes he had? and that was AFTER fighting the actual army
and also standard Chinese military doctrine probably didn't call for deliberately causing an avalanche by shooting an actual mountain
It was a throwaway line to show how the Emperor was a nice guy. No the line doesn't make a lot of sense when you think about it, its a Disney film.
>>81469795
Also why did Mulan have better luck fighting him than the trained hardcore military commander?
>>81469582
>sending your troops out to get butchered by mongolian horse archers
>enraging the mongolians into revenge killings
>protecting the people
>>81469842
Because she is a strong woman you shitlord
didn't the mongols win anyway? like historically
>>81469582
>God emperor.
Without him, the people are nothing. Who would lead the peasants? Who would tell the go crap on their lawn to fertilize their grass?
>>81469851
Huns aren't Mongolsalso they are hella lost since the Huns are from the other fucking side of Asia
>>81469885
These guys are Huns
Basing them explicitly on the Mongols who still exist would've caused butthurt
>>81469897
>Who would lead the peasants? Who would tell the go crap on their lawn to fertilize their grass?
This is ancient China, not modern India.
>>81469881
Did I miss the part where Mulan became Guan Yu or something?

You guys are pretty thick, aren't you?
Without resources and citizens to rule over, a palace is just a house. You don't give your enemy the means to starve you while you hold sovereignty over large swathes of territory.
Everything we know about Chinese martial history indicates they were very much familiar with the concept of a palace not equating an empire and the need to stop an invasion before it gets anywhere near the capital.
That's kind of what building the Great Wall was all about you retarded cows.
>>81470137
Didn't the wall fail to prevent the mongol invasion, though?
>>81470861
>>81470137
the wall was built as a show of imperial hubris.
>>81471167
Are you telling me that the Wall didn't Make China Great Again?
>>81471189
It was never great in the first place. That's why they had to build a great wall, to make up for their lack of greatness.
>>81471218
It was great before the Sima stole and ruined everything.
>>81469582
We have billion people general we could lose some of them
>Imperial selfishness surprises me.
Then I hope for your sake, you live in a democratic country, OP.
>>81469582
China sucked for peasants
>>81469923
I believe it was modern NK that has a story floating around where glorious leader asked the people to do that
>>81469842
I mean, did you watch the movie? Mulan is just about the only character in the film with any sense of tactics. She defeated what's his face by being clever, not through brute force.Which is something a lot of so called "fans" tend to forget. Looking at you, DeviantArt.
>>81469795
>I mean, they had rockets ffs, how do you screw up so badly when you have rockets?
A rocket isn't an atom bomb, it's not even a cannon
>>81469582
>China in charge of defeating Huns
>>81475130
>china in charge of defeating steppeniggers
>>81469842
There's a nartial arts saying.
The wise man fears the new master, not the old master.
Mulan wasn't burdened by military legacy because that sort of life was never expected for her. She could improvise and think outside the box.
Li or whoever wanted to soend their last rocket on Shan Yu and then engage in a costly battle mopping up the enemy. He would never have thought if an avalanche
