Chapter 85 The Weakness of the Northern Barbarians
"Damn it, this is so fucking unfair!"
At this time, Zhang Liao, who had just been preparing to compete for the title of champion, pointed at a map and began to curse.
Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, this guy actually started working with the map. Unable to bear their curiosity, they all walked over to see what it was that made Zhang Liao scold him.
After seeing the map, everyone's expressions suddenly became ugly and they began to curse.
"Damn it, God really has no eyes!"
"This Lantau Island is the real father of the Northern Barbarians. It completely blocks other people's attacks. This is a natural city wall."
"Hey, it's still an insurmountable city wall. The only passage is the Ziwu Road, but once the enemy sets up an ambush on the mountains on both sides of the Ziwu Road, as long as the front and rear roads are blocked, there will be no way to go from heaven to earth!"
"God is unfair. He actually gave the barbarians such a huge advantage. I'm really angry!"
"I finally understand why my lord said that he wanted to lure you into a urn instead of taking the initiative to attack. If you take the initiative to attack, you will be a pure target!"
They were disgusted too!
No wonder Zhang Liao was scolded. The existence of Lantau Island not only blocked Xiliang's attack path, but also perfectly protected Tuoba Yu.
From the map, the entire Dayuguan is separated by the Lantau Mountains. This is something that everyone has known for a long time. But they never expected that this mountain range actually stretches all the way to the hinterland of the barbarians.
This is a bit disgusting. It means that this mountain blocks the enemies of the Northern Barbarians and is a natural barrier for the Northern Barbarians. It is difficult to bypass Lantau Island and attack the Northern Barbarians.
The only thing that can pass through Lantau Island is a mountain canyon called Ziwu Road, also known as the Thousand Miles Ancient Road.
But in the eyes of Ma Chao and others, this is not the Ziwu Road, it is a passage of death.
Entering here is almost the same as committing suicide. Because Lantau Island is within Tuoba Yu's control, that means there are people from Tuoba Yu on the mountains on both sides of Ziwu Road.
Once you enter the canyon, you will not only encounter attacks from the front, but also be beaten by people on the mountains on both sides.
Standing on a mountain and looking down, if you throw a stone at random, several people below will be killed.
After all, the army is not just for one or two people, and they can still avoid it. There are tens of thousands of people, and it is completely unavoidable. It is really difficult to get in from here!
Thinking about that scene makes people shudder.
"Hey, if we really want to break in, there is no chance at all!" At this time, Jia Xu, as a military advisor, spoke.
"Oh, does Wen He have any idea?"
Lin Yi looked at him, this guy really had two brushes.
Jia Xu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Although it is difficult to enter from Ziwu Road, it is not a foolproof place. As long as the time, place and people are favorable, there is still a chance!"
"The right time, right place and right people?"
Everyone's eyes lit up and they looked at Jia Xu. He actually had a way to do this. He was worthy of being a military advisor.
Jia Xu nodded and said solemnly: "The terrain of Lantau Island is relatively high. Once the cold winter comes, the mountain will be covered with heavy snow. Soldiers wearing armor cannot withstand the cold on the mountain."
"At this time, their defense is at its weakest. As long as you seize the opportunity to touch them and cooperate with the people in the trap to cut down the enemy's sentry posts, you can go directly in."
"But marching in the ice and snow, our losses may not be small."
The height of the mountain may be an advantage, but when it's cold, it's so cold that your pants are probably frozen. Who dares to guard at that time? It's probably useless to go up with a quilt.
"That makes sense!"
"No flesh and blood can withstand the cold weather and freezing temperatures."
"Hahaha, as expected of our military advisor, Wen He has his own way."
Everyone was very excited. Fortunately, the military advisor was very powerful.
The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and coupled with the cold wind on the top of the mountain, the barbarians couldn't withstand the bone-scratching cold knife, so they would inevitably go to avoid the wind and snow.
In this way, the crisis in the two mountains is gone. Coupled with the heavy snowfall and extremely low visibility, as long as Luo Sheng cooperates with the killing of sentry posts, they can approach silently.
Wonderful!
"March on a snowy night?"
Jia Xu's plan made Lin Yi stunned for a moment. Why did this battle sound so familiar? It seemed like he had heard it somewhere.
etc!
Isn't this a drama in which Zhu Di recruits and surrenders without spending any money?
At that time, Zhu Di also encountered a heavy snowstorm, and his subordinates advised him to withdraw his troops and go back to camp to avoid the snowstorm. Zhu Di was also a clever guy. He thought that even our subordinates thought we could not march on a snowy night. If I were to fight through, others would definitely not think of it.
Sure enough, after he fought over, Nobuhua voluntarily gave up the superior view on the top of the mountain to avoid the wind and snow, and hid in a wind-sheltered depression. When Zhu Di surrounded him, he was completely frightened.
In the end, Zhu Di made a sincere attempt to persuade Nai Buhua to surrender, which made Nai Buhua burst into tears and fall directly at Zhu Di's feet. He defeated Nai Buhua directly without spending a single soldier.
Unexpectedly, Jia Xu also thought of this method. Although there are some differences, it is really a breakthrough.
He gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "This is not bad. It will definitely catch the enemy off guard. He is indeed our military advisor!"
"Lord, please stop laughing at me!"
Jia Xu smiled bitterly and said: "I just have an idea. Tuobayu will not wait until the snow closes the mountain before taking action, so it is more reliable for the lord to invite you to the urn!"
"Tuobayu wants to take action against the lord?"
Everyone was slightly stunned. Could it be that there was some gossip? They had never heard that Tuobayu was going to send troops.
"Hahaha, he will definitely come, he has to come!" Jia Xu couldn't help laughing and said with confidence.
"Why?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, what was going on and why he had to come.
Lin Yi glanced at them and said with a smile: "It's actually very simple, they need food!"
"food?"
"Yes, they are short of food!"
A glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. This is a common problem among nomads, who are all lacking in food.
But there is another most important reason. I am afraid that the Northern Barbarians do not want to see the second Beiliang appear. It would be an absolute nightmare for the Barbarians. When Beiliang and Xiliang unite, the Barbarians may not be able to withstand it.
food?
After hearing Lin Yi's words, everyone suddenly realized that they almost forgot the most basic things.
The Northern Barbarians are nomadic people!
Because the nomadic people make a living by grazing, they have no stored food at all. They usually rely on hunting and grazing for a living.
Once winter comes, cattle and sheep are easily frozen to death, and most wild animals also enter hibernation, so hunting and grazing are useless. As a result, how to spend this winter is a very difficult problem for them.
They had two choices before them, either trade with other countries in exchange for food, or plunder other countries.
