The Mongol Warrior we saw in that vicinity shortly before the start of the war is only 2 tiles away from Ningpo.

Attack
Swordsman11 - Mangudai Bowman (Mongolia) (92%) wins: Almarikh

Taking Almarikh connects the two parts of the empire, and therefore all our luxuries and resources!

Swordsman9 - Mangudai Bowman (Mongolia) (88%) wins
Swordsman6 - Otomo Spearman (Korea) (70%) loses
Swordsman7 - Otomo Spearman (Korea) (70%) wins: elite
Swordsman8 - Otomo Spearman (Korea) (84%) loses
Swordsman10 - Otomo Spearman (Korea) (84%) loses
Swordsman12 - Otomo Spearman (Korea) (70%) loses
Swordsman13 - Otomo Spearman (Korea) (95%) wins: P'yongyang, THE COLOSSUS (Barracks, Korean Great Leader)

The fight for P'yongyang is one of the ugliest battle results in my experience. It is one of those unbeatable Spearman stories - not only does it kill 4 veteran Swordsmen, but in one run it goes straight from regular to veteran to elite to spawning a Great Leader!

We have the Colossus, but any hope of marching on Seoul is gone. We still prolong the war, hoping to fish for leaders ourselves ...

It is essential, not to let the Mongols destroy the road!

Our first boat. Bravely it sets sail, with a Settler/Spearman pair aboard.

Meanwhile, the crumbling but devious Mongols have several units converging on Shanghai, and we have rushed a Swordsman to deal with them, with a Spearman to follow.
