Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 599 Dragging into winter
Even though gun control is so strict, it is still Baili Tiance's ability to get one.

"Chief Huyan, how come this rifle you mentioned is so powerful, why didn't we see it?"

Sikong Changfeng asked with a smile.

"Uh……"

Huyan Muhua was immediately stunned and speechless.

"Chief Sikong, this kind of rifle can shoot a kind of bullet hundreds of meters away. This kind of bullet is more powerful than a bow and arrow. It's just that we don't have bullets and can't see the power of the gun with our own eyes."

Baili Tiance quickly interrupted.

"So what if they are comparable to archers? Who on our grasslands doesn't have bows and arrows? Can't the bows and arrows of our grassland tribes kill people?"

Sikong Changfeng asked with a smile.

"What Leader Sikong said is true. The war horses of our grassland tribe come and go without a trace. It only takes one charge to scatter all the enemies. What else is there to worry about?"

Tuoba Zhiheng immediately agreed.

"Yes, our cavalry is very fast. On the grassland, we can use flexible tactics. If the enemy is too strong, we will retreat. If the enemy is relaxed, we will sneak attack again, leaving them no peace for a moment. Be good. Exit the prairie.”

Sikong Changfeng was not a fool, and he came up with the best strategy.

As a grassland tribe, they are familiar with every inch of the grassland, and can give full play to the mobility of the cavalry, adopt guerrilla tactics, and ultimately defeat the enemy.

Although Baili Tiance felt that the leaders thought Lu Hao was too simple, the tactics they mentioned were not necessarily a proper approach.

"With the mobility of our cavalry, we can advance, attack, retreat or defend. Naturally, we can deal with Lu Hao in the prairie. However, wouldn't so many tribal families be in trouble?"

Baili Tiance raised a fatal question.

"Yes, we can indeed avoid fighting, but our family tribes are scattered throughout the prairie. Lu Hao will definitely burn, kill, loot and force us to show up."

Tuoba Zhiheng nodded slightly and expressed deep agreement.

"Another point, I heard that the Central Army of the Chinese Empire is also a cavalry. Their mobility is similar to ours. Can we avoid fighting? It's really hard to say."

Huyan Muhua told another fact.

The new soldiers of the Chinese Empire were equipped with cavalry not only to increase their mobility, but also there was no shortage of fodder on the prairie.

With the speed of the cavalry and the range of the rifle, it was enough to chase them all over the grassland.

"There is no way to fight, and there is no way to avoid it. Aren't we destined to lose this battle? You are trying to boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige. If you are so passive, you might as well surrender."

Sikong Changfeng said angrily.

"Don't be angry, Leader Sikong. Aren't we discussing countermeasures? Why did you suddenly talk about surrender again?"

Tuoba Zhiheng looked bitter, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Then tell me how to fight this battle? Our tribe should obey the headquarters' instructions."

Sikong Changfeng was a little depressed.

"This battle is not impossible to fight. Have you ever thought about it? Why did the Chinese Empire threaten to defeat us in three months?"

Baili Tiance raised a question.

Several leaders looked at each other, confused as to why he raised this question?

"It's already July. Waiting for the Chinese Empire to officially start war across the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, it will be August. If we add another three months, it will be winter."

"Lu Hao of the Chinese Empire just wants to defeat us before winter and wipe out the entire prairie. What if we drag them into winter?"

Baili Tiance analyzed patiently.

"I understand, the soldiers of the Chinese Empire are wearing thin clothes and cannot withstand the cold winter, so they want to defeat us within three months." Sikong Changfeng suddenly realized.

"Yes, because the distance is too far, they are working hard on the expedition, while we are waiting for work. Therefore, the soldiers themselves basically carry weapons and ammunition, and they do not carry winter cotton clothes at all, and they cannot withstand the cold winter."

"Therefore, our initial strategy is to slow down the enemy, then fight if we can, avoid if we can't, and use guerrilla tactics of breaking up the enemy into parts to drag the enemy alive into winter..."

Baili Tiance was truly worthy of being a general. He had hit the nail on the head and found the weakness of the imperial army.

"Hahaha... As expected of our great leader, he actually thought of such a good idea. I agree with the great leader's opinion!"

"The big leader is so resourceful and talented. We really admire him!"

"Big Chief, we are willing to obey your orders and defend our prairie to the death!"

"..."

Everyone immediately spoke, singing hymns and swearing allegiance.

Looking at the major tribes who were sincerely united and working together, Baili Tiance felt that he had the right time, place, and people, enough to compete with the Chinese Empire.

"Come on, bring me a map."

Baili Tiance shouted loudly.

Soon, a large map was spread on the ground, and all the tribal leaders gathered around.

"Brothers, please take a look. All the way north from Yanjing City, the Chinese Empire's army will pass through the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. This area will be our first barrier against the enemy."

"The terrain of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun is complex. It is basically full of high mountains, deep canyons, and there are only three roads to enter the prairie. Therefore, we can set up ambushes on the three roads to block the enemy."

Baili Tiance pointed at the high mountains on the map and said loudly.

"Hehehe... We should really make good use of the terrain of the Sixteenth State of Yanyun to turn it into a nightmare for the soldiers of the Chinese Empire."

Sikong Changfeng smiled sinisterly.

"Big leader, I am willing to lead my troops to ambush the Eagle's Nest Canyon on the left to stop the enemy!"

Tuoba Zhiheng volunteered.

Eagle's Nest Canyon is a canyon. It is said that countless mountain eagles build nests on the walls of the canyon, hence its name.

As long as huge rocks are piled up on both sides of the canyon and smashed down directly, the entire canyon can be sealed. With the help of bows and arrows, you can use your strengths and avoid weaknesses, completely ignoring the long-range lethality of rifles.

If an ambush is really set up in this canyon, it will be extremely difficult for the imperial army to pass through.

"Big leader, I am willing to lead the troops eastward and ambush the enemy in the Niguang Valley in the east!"

Sikong Changfeng quickly grabbed a seat.

This backlight valley is a desert, full of bare white stones that can reflect the sun's rays.

At the same time, the reflection of the sun's light can be used to maximize the power of the bow and arrow.

The most important thing is that on the Gobi desert here, the horses are galloping and galloping, there is no problem at all, it can be said that they come and go without a trace.

"The narrow path in the middle will be guarded by our tribe."

Ximen Hongri also pointed to the middle position.

This winding trail is called Twilight Lumber Camp. It is surrounded by mist and lush trees. It is definitely the best place for an ambush.

Twilight Lumber Camp, if a place like this were attacked with fire, the soldiers of the Chinese Empire would probably have no chance to fire and would be reduced to ashes.
