The defensive role of the Great Wall is not reflected in "not being captured" as most people think; its real use is that the invaders may concentrate their efforts to occasionally break through one or two passes and break into the interior, but as long as the entire section of the Great Wall is still garrisoned with strong forces, Army, the invaders are always faced with the danger of being blocked, ambushed and unable to return home; in particular, the Great Wall strangles the transportation arteries of the Yanshan Mountains and the northern branch of the Taihang Mountains. Even if the nomadic cavalry breaks through the barriers, they can only attack the inland areas. Carrying out harassment, their logistics could not be transported in through the pass, so they could not gain a foothold in the mainland, thereby shaking the foundation of the Chinese Empire. No matter how severe the disease is, it cannot penetrate the body. This is the fundamental meaning of the existence of the Great Wall.
