When two armies are fighting, the best strategy is to use one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.
But under the current battlefield conditions, the savages clearly have the advantage in close combat. However, the savages are most accustomed to sneak attacks and ambushes, which are difficult to detect.
Even with many hounds and experienced hunters in the army, it is very laborious to find all the hidden savages.
On the way to Dragon City, the army encountered the savages three times. Although each time they discovered the savages' lurking in advance, they still paid a heavy price.
These savages are simply inhuman beings.
It was clear that their companions were being killed by crossbows, but they actually hid in the snow and waited until the soldiers who had been cleaning up approached before they launched a surprise attack.
Once approached by savages, these beast-like guys can use their swift skills to drag at least one soldier to death, and at the same time, they can seriously injure two or three people.
Frankly speaking, until now, Xu Laoer still couldn't figure out what was going on in the heads of these savages. Obviously as long as these people continue to hide in the snow, they can avoid them and continue southward, but these guys are completely desperate for their lives.
Of course, what makes Xu Laoer even more puzzled is that the savages they have encountered so far are all young and strong men. There are no women, no old people, and no children.
A tribe, even a group of beasts, cannot only have young and strong people.
But these savages are only young and strong.
"Little sister, tell me, what's going on with these savages?"
Xu Laoer really couldn't understand.
In a group, the elderly generally represent wisdom and experience, while women and children represent the future.
But there was something very wrong with the savage tribe that appeared in Xu Laoer's field of vision.
Fubao has also thought about this issue, and actually has some guesses in his mind. For example, the savages also had old people, women, and children in normal times, but when the living environment was harsh, they abandoned these people they needed in the long run and even turned them into food.
However, this is her guess after all.
No one knows what the truth is, and there is no way to guess.
Perhaps, it is possible that the savages just found a place to resettle the old man, women, and children.
"Second brother, if the savages still have no way to go south, will they turn to hide in the mountains? There are many wild animals in the mountains that can be used as food!"
"The most important thing is that if a savage finds a way to cross the mountains and enter Xiangyi Mansion or Qifeng Mansion, then the situation will become difficult to deal with!"
"What's your idea?"
Xu Laoer himself had no idea, so he could only hope that Fu Bao would have some good ideas.
"How about there are three people around but one missing?"
Fubao thought for a while, "I think the pass at Xiangyi Prefecture should be destroyed!"
"It's best to make it look like it was destroyed by savages!"
No one knows how many savages there are, and no one knows whether the savages will stop moving south.
But the savages are very ferocious, and many people know that.
After all, a savage who can force the Northern Barbarians to surrender is definitely not a good person. In the eyes of many people, the Northern Barbarians are already very cruel existences.
The savages are obviously more ferocious than the northern barbarians.
"Little sister, without the obstruction of Guancheng, what will happen after the barbarians enter the Pass?"
"Of course I'll ask Third Brother to mobilize the troops!"
"We can lay a trap after the city is closed, please put it in the trap!"
"Savages are not afraid of ice and snow, so they can hide in the snow and be difficult to find. However, the side of Xiangyi Mansion is not as cold as the side of Longxi Mansion, and there is no such thick snow!"
"Yes, when we get to Longxi Mansion, the advantage of the barbarians is not that big of an advantage!"
After listening to some of Fubao's words, Xu Laoer also looked happy.
Yes, yes, why do they make things so simple
The savages are cruel and powerful, but apart from the ice and snow environment, what does the savage's advantage mean? With the advantage of ordnance, savages are no different from wild beasts, so they can hunt whatever they want!
"Little sister, tell me, how do you deal with it?"
Xu Laoer is really interested now.
He no longer wants to go to Dragon City. His little sister's method is the real strategy for the country. No, the savage country is nothing but a big tribe at best.
"Second brother, tell me, do the savages know about our coming all the way?"
Fu Bao asked his second brother a question.
"Should, you know!"
Regarding this question, Xu Laoer had no answer.
After all, they knew too little about the savages.
Even the northern barbarians who have had more contact with the savages still don't understand them very well. The northern barbarians only know one thing about the savages, and that is cruelty.
Even the barbarians were not afraid of ice, snow and cold, which the northern barbarians had never known before.
"Second brother, if we divide our forces, will the savages find out?"
"Hard to say!"
Xu Laoer grimaced.
He didn't even know where the savages were hiding. Maybe, around them, there were savages who had buried themselves in the snowdrifts and were quietly watching them.
"Second brother, can you be of some use?"
Fu Bao was so angry, "You are a brave uncle, you can count on me for everything, is that okay?"
"I, your sister, am two years old, two years old!"
Fu Bao was really pissed off.
She felt that her second brother seemed to be very dependent on her recently, which was not a good sign.
"Little sister, this is not the point!"
After being scolded by Fu Bao, Xu Laoer didn't think there was anything wrong at all. He chuckled and said, "Isn't there such a saying? Where ambition is concerned, youth is not important!"
“…”
Fubao just didn't want to talk to this lazy guy. He was an elder brother, but he didn't act like an elder brother. He was not ashamed of it, but felt proud of it.
"Second brother, my idea is that you send someone to pretend to be a savage, play a show with the people over there in Guancheng, and destroy that Guancheng!"
"Without the barrier of Guancheng, the savages will have a long way to drive down."
"Of course, before that, you have to contact Third Brother and ask him to lead someone behind to set up the trap."
Since you are going to be invited to enter the urn, then at least the urn must be prepared.
"This is easy!"
After hearing Fu Bao's words, Xu Laoer immediately laughed.
Isn’t that just asking people to pretend to be savages
This is not difficult!
However, those who pretend to be savages may get sick afterwards. After all, those leather jackets worn by savages are really not very warm.
Fu Bao was too lazy to care about what her second brother did. Anyway, she was only responsible for giving ideas.
As for whether this idea will work, it depends on God's will.
Thinking of his good luck all the time, Fubao felt that 99% of this plan would not have any big problems. Of course, everything has exceptions, so the word "just in case" appears. (End of chapter)
