After a day's march, Ling Cao finally confirmed that Guishang did not conduct in-depth and detailed exploration on the north shore. Even the traces of the earlier exploration may have been from a year ago. In the past year, there was basically no intention to conduct large-scale exploration deep into the land.
.
If Ling Cao thought this was good news at first, when he got closer to about twenty miles away and there were not many traces of investigation, nor the Kushan scouts and secret sentries, Ling Cao, Taishi Ci and others
His face became very ugly.
They are all veterans on the battlefield. They can accept Kushan being stupid and careless, but they will never accept Kushan making such a low-level and desperate mistake. On the other hand, when such a mistake occurs, either Kushan will use
What's more, they have no way to explore in the expected way, or they don't have to worry about anyone coming here.
"According to our last experience, this place should be only twenty miles away from the north shore of Malacca. However, we have not encountered Kushan's scouts and secret sentries yet..." Li Yan greeted the others with a solemn look and said, "This
That’s not a good thing.”
"Next, don't get too close. Use the secret reconnaissance skills to support you." Taishi Ci sighed softly and said, he also felt that something was wrong.
"Is it possible to conduct such a large-scale exploration?" Wenpin raised an eyebrow and asked.
"It can't be done, but we can increase the output and forcefully expand to that range." Taishi Ci shook his head and said, "The problem is not too big, it's just a matter of consumption."
"It's okay to give it a try." Li Yan nodded and motioned for Taishi Ci to take action. After all, the other three were not as strong as Taishi Ci in terms of inner energy.
As Taishi Ci took action, a light and shadow as big as a basin appeared in front of Li Yan and others, and then Wenpin and Ling Cao fell into silence.
Camp? No, Kushan did not build a camp on the north bank of Malacca, but directly built a city wall.
"..." Ling Cao was silent for a long time and then turned to look at Taishi Ci, "What should we do? The preparation I came here was to fight against the camp, and we didn't bring any siege weapons."
"Can you peek inside?" Li Yan asked with twitching lips. They really never thought that Guishang would directly build a city here, but they didn't expect it. But after seeing it, they didn't think it was unreasonable. On the contrary, they didn't think it was unreasonable.
I think this is natural.
Compared with the defensive ability of the camp, the defensive ability of the city wall has increased by more than one and a half points. This is a matter of doubling or doubling it several times.
"Okay, their clouds are not very thick, it may be a little blurry, but it's not serious." Taishi Ci sighed and said, and then turned directly into the city. It was obviously not a fortified city, and it was only blocked on three sides, close to the sea.
There is no wall on that side.
"This water village is really well built." Wenpin said helplessly, "And looking at the city, in addition to the Kushan people, there are also many local natives. It seems that these natives have been taken over by the Kushan people.
It’s been incorporated, no wonder I didn’t see a few natives along the way.”
Compared with the Han Dynasty, the Kushan people are probably a little inferior in terms of assimilation ability, but compared to other countries, and even to the natives in the tribal era, the Kushan people can almost boast that they are a beacon of civilization.
In addition, after docking in Malacca, Kushan really needed some slaves to work, so they searched the surrounding area.
Again, the fact that Kushan was pressed into the soil and rubbed by the Han Dynasty does not mean that Kushan is really weak to the point that no one can defeat it. In fact, except for a very few countries, Kushan himself is in the true sense that no one can defeat him.
Can't beat it.
This era in Southeast Asia is still in the era of native tribes. Facing a behemoth like Kushan, of course they were hung up and beaten. Think about a small country like Ye Diao, where they are all the objects of tribute. You should understand this
How many dishes do the locals in this area have?
What's more, the more primitive a place is, the more it advocates the law of the jungle and the less need for moral whitewash. Naturally, the Kushans are very comfortable in this place. Coupled with the strong assimilation ability of the Brahmin sect, these natives, who are not even civilized, are being absorbed by the Kushans.
After that, he entered the untouchable system.
As for what I have said, it is actually not too bad. After all, things have been much worse before. Being a Brahmin pariah cannot be any worse. It is precisely because of the large number of barbarians that the Kushan side has been able to build a permanent water stronghold.
Solid construction.
The army organized these natives into slave camps and ignored them without giving them a visualization chart. To be honest, this was because of the habits developed by the Brahmins over the years. Otherwise, after the city was built, they would have been killed long ago.
Just let these natives fend for themselves.
Now, although this group of natives is almost allowed to fend for themselves, at any rate, they are not driven out specifically. They are just driven out of their living areas as untouchables. But after all, the natives are also human beings. After being driven out, they
They also learned to build their own slums, and now they have successfully formed a unique city-state in southern Kushan.
In short, the current situation is almost like this, with a large number of natives living in slums and Kushan elites living in the inner city.
"It's not easy to fight." Taishi Ci looked at the group of natives praying around a wooden board. This is a reflection of Kushan's unique visualization system. Although it is terrible, it is undeniable that this method is really noble.
The foundation of the sea of frost and soldiers.
"We can't really set a fire outside then." Li Yan said with a dark face. After taking a closer look, he found that there was really no good solution.
"I'll go there in person tonight." Taishi Ci looked at the city wall, observed it twice and said, "The natives on the periphery actually have little influence on us. They don't seem to be incorporated into the legion, and they don't have any
Weapons are likely to collapse on contact."
"The most effective natives are probably the legions in the city." Li Yan pointed at the legions in the inner city and said, although the natives didn't even have armor, and many of them were naked.
Upper body, but at least there are weapons, and there are a lot of them.
"It should be. I'll go check it out tonight." Tai Shici said again.
"It's too dangerous for you to go, so I should go." Ling Cao suggested as he looked in the direction of the city wall.
"It's not dangerous. They can't patrol the slums. There may be soldiers fooling around in there, but no one will care about that kind of place even if some people die." Taishi Ci shook his head and said, "What's more, there are some things that only me can do.
You have to go in person to know for sure.”
When Ling Cao heard this, he didn't say anything more and glanced at the legions behind Tai Shi Ci. The same was true for Li Yan, who felt relieved that the matter had not yet reached its worst point.
That night, Taishi Ci personally went to the slums outside the city, and went from the slums to the city wall. The sights he saw along the way made Taishi Ci somewhat doubt whether these people were human.
After getting used to cities under the management model of the Central Plains, and seeing this kind of sewage flowing across the street, and even people dying of hunger on the road, Taishi Ci felt inexplicably disgusted.
However, these people were not his own people after all. Taishi Ci just glanced twice and walked towards the city wall built by Kushan on the north bank of Malacca. No one stopped him. Even if a native spotted Taishi Ci, he quickly lowered his head to avoid it.
The clean and tidy Taishi Ci was in a completely different world from these people. Compared with the Brahmin system, the natural contrast between the two sides was enough to make these natives spontaneously feel their own humbleness, so Taishi Ci walked unhindered all the way.
Arrive at the foot of the city wall.
The tramps who gathered together to rest by the city wall immediately scattered and ran quickly when they saw people like Taishi Ci approaching. In their eyes, Taishi Ci was more like a big shot than the high castes they had seen before, and the Brahmin
System, untouchables cannot look directly at big shots.
Taishi Ci had no intention of evading. If he hides his head and hides and dodges at this time, he will be remembered by the natives in the slums. Those people who see such aboveboard behavior will dodge when they see it. This is human instinct.
Because I can't afford it.
Taishi Ci slowly stretched out his hand towards the city wall of Guishuang, faintly exerting force. After a muffled sound, Taishi Ci stopped his hand. Sure enough, it was not Zhou Yu's miscalculation to send the infrastructure army here. Although it would slow down the speed, at least it would slow down the city wall.
When faced with the current situation, I will not be passive at all.
The new city, which has only been built for a year, has not yet been warmed and maintained, and there is not much accumulation of clouds. If you launch a violent luck attack, you may not be able to demolish the city wall on the north side. Compared with the small method of setting fire to yourself, I am afraid that the city will be demolished directly.
Even more shocking.
More importantly, directly smashing the city defenses and blasting in, even if it will destroy most of the infrastructure army's combat effectiveness, is much stronger than breaking through the camp, charging in, and setting the camp on fire.
In the former case, breaking not only the shelter, but also the soldiers' inner tolerance limit is probably broken. It is not so easy to break the camp and rush in to kill the opponent's entire army until it collapses.
"It should be breakable." Taishi Ci felt the power of the city wall's feedback and wanted to jump on the city wall to determine its thickness. However, if he could kill him alone, it would not be a problem to kill him after being discovered by Kuishang.
"Forget it, let's not take the risk. The information we have obtained now is enough. This city wall is not very thick, and the temperature and nourishment are not in place." Tai Shici once again tried his best to feel it, and decided to retreat. There is no need to take risks.
When Taishi Ci returned, Li Yan and others had not yet rested. Seeing Taishi Ci return, Li Yan immediately asked, "How is the situation? The strength of the city defense is still within the range to cope with it."
"It shouldn't be a big problem. Let's get closer to Shili tomorrow and bring professionals to measure it. According to my estimation, it should be OK." Tai Shici said with a little joy.
As long as the city wall can be shattered, the Han army's momentum will definitely reach its peak, and Kushan will most likely enter a trance state because the city wall is shattered.
