Chapter 1017 1017: Island Project [Three-in-one, please vote]
Liu Guan didn't know what Kang's soldiers and horses were going to do.
Several guesses came to mind.
deterrence?
Harassment?
Or intimidation?
None of these look alike.
Kang Guo's soldiers and horses are far away from Shooting Star Pass. If Kang Guo really wanted to take action, they would not have alerted the enemy. They would have staged such a large battle all the way from a distance, with a swaggering attitude as if they were afraid that the enemy would not be able to find out: "These people are selling things inside the gourd."
What medicine is it?”
Liu Guan condensed his literary energy into his eyes to enhance his vision.
Try to see clearly what this group of people are up to.
"Report——"
Soon a soldier sent a message.
Liu Guandao: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
There was still a hint of panic in the soldier's expression - the fear of natural disasters was engraved in the souls of people in this world. Even though the messenger soldier was a brave warrior, his legs were still weak.
The soldier said: "Kunzhou soldiers and horses appeared in the rear."
Liu Guan hurried over.
She also saw the smoke and dust waves forming a line at the end of the horizon. It was only a small section at first, but soon extended to both sides at a speed visible to the naked eye. She knew that such a large formation cost a lot of manpower. Kang Guo
The camp must have some purpose in doing this. It secretly took a deep breath and sent several scout teams to reconnoiter to see what the plan was.
After a while, several birds fluttered their wings and flew high.
Below, Bai Suruo, who was guarding the construction team, felt something.
Put your right hand in front of your eyebrows as a sunshade, and squint your eyes carefully.
He smiled and said: "Hey, the scouts from the Northern Desert are here."
She is currently wearing a bandage on her chest, one sleeve is tucked into her waist, half of her arms are bare, and she is sitting on top of a giant excavator with her legs bent. Her bare shoulders are painted with ferocious animal patterns, extending all the way to the lower part of her collarbone, and her waist
The sword hanging on the side is in perfect contrast with her cold temperament. Below is the general and ink supervisor who is concentrating on the operation. Bai Su raised his hand to form a tall and heavy bow.
Fingers lightly pluck the bowstring.
A snow-white arrow took shape in response.
It was cloudy today, and the clouds were thick and low. The scout's Martial Totem could use the clouds to cover his tracks without much effort, and he cautiously approached the construction team. As he gradually approached the top of the construction team, the scout held his breath and concentrated, trying to use the sight of the Martial Totem to detect.
I wanted to know what was going on below, but the smoke and dust here were so thick that I had to lower my altitude a little bit, which interfered with my vision.
Suddenly, a bit of white light quickly magnified in front of my eyes.
Martial Arts Totem was shot in the eye before he could react.
"Ah ah ah - eyes, eyes - my eyes -" the Northern Desert scout covered his eyes and screamed miserably.
The Wu Gu Totem, whose eyes were pierced by an arrow, lost control and fell to the ground.
It started to escape when it was still a hundred feet above the ground.
When it landed, only one tail feather was left.
Bai Su tutted, "What a pity, it's not a live bird."
If this ferocious bird is not a totem of martial courage but a real bird, it is really full of treasures. It is delicious when grilled, and its bright feathers are beautiful when plucked out and made into hats. Whether you can encounter it when you go hunting in the mountains in autumn depends on your luck. Luck
I almost stayed there for three to five days but still didn't show up.
Martial Arts Totem is really a scam.
There were waves in the air, and Bai Su's ears twitched slightly.
His eyes flashed fiercely: "Here we go again."
Ordinary scouts are not difficult to cultivate, but scouts adapted to this kind of valor totem are rare. Perhaps because of the special geographical environment in the Northern Desert, there are many elite scouts. Not only those who fly in the sky, but also those who dig holes on the ground. Bai
Su took action twice, bent his bow and arrows, and hit every target, severely injuring two scouts. The North Desert side was more vigilant, and even the valor totem did not dare to hover at low altitude.
Bai Su sneered and turned to urge the soldiers below.
"No one has eaten?"
"The bigger the movement, the quicker the work will be."
"You've been working hard for a long time and you just made such a little noise. Are you afraid that the enemy won't know what you are doing?"
Someone below was coughing and belching from time to time.
Apparently he accidentally ate sand.
The deputy general narrowed his eyes and raised his voice in Bai Su's direction.
"General, no matter how big you are, you won't be able to see me."
Everyone's mouths and noses were covered with dust-filtering cloth masks.
Each one had a gray face, sweat dripped down their skin, and obvious mud marks were opened. Rub your fingers casually on it to make sure you can squeeze the boss's mud ball. However, the time was fixed by the superiors, and the amount of work was unprecedented.
Get big.
The original plan was to let Wen Xin scribes use their words and spirits to attract wind and sand, such as [clouds, moon, black wind, sand and evil], [desert wind and sand, thousands of miles of darkness], to shield the enemy scouts from the prying eyes as much as possible, delay as much time as possible, and not have to eat too much.
Bitter. It is best to dig the foundation before the enemy reacts, so that even if the enemy gathers manpower to attack, there will be a buffer.
It’s just that the above calculations are not worth counting.
With Yanling, you get what you pay for.
The better the effect, the larger the range, and the greater the consumption!
The scope of the isolated island project obviously exceeds the limits of scribes. Rather than embarrass literati, it is better to look inwards for self-reliance.
The noise in the dust was all intentional.
Just as Bai Suga was about to say something, his eyes lit up.
His body flashed and transformed into a dazzling stream of light that penetrated the thick sand and dust.
There was a loud bang.
The two swords were crossed and sunk into the rock.
Under the sword's edge was a trembling rat whose hair color blended in with the mud. The rat was exceptionally long and slender, with a thick and powerful tail at the end and muscular limbs. It was chopped off by Bai Su's two swords as soon as it emerged from the ground.
He walked away. His big eyes met Bai Su's eyes looking at dead things, and his thick hair exploded.
He screamed, not daring to turn his head, and ran for his life.
"Zhizhizhi——"
The dusty shadow suddenly jumped out of the distance.
Bai Su looked at the lower half of the rat's body that had been cut off by the two swords, and sneered. The upper half of the rat rushed far away under the impetus of inertia. When he realized something was wrong, there was a faint pain in his waist. Martial Arts Totem
Before it disappeared, I saw blood trailing all over the floor.
"What kind of rat dares to show up?"
Bai Su pulled out the two swords from the mud and stepped on the half of the rat's body that was gradually dissipating. Under the pressure of external force, the internal organs wrapped in rat skin exploded and overflowed into the energy of heaven and earth.
Zhang Liangji, the ladder across the wall.
No matter how strict the vigilance of Bai Su and others is, it is impossible to completely clear out the scouts in a short period of time. More than a dozen scouts were lost in the Northern Desert. They have learned their lesson and dare not get too close. Even so, some information was detected - summary,
Kang Guo is digging a trap.
Liu Guan, who was waiting anxiously, fell silent the moment he received the information.
Don't blame her for being silent.
I really can't do it with this manual operation.
She looked again and again at the place beneath her feet.
After confirming that they were defending the city rather than attacking the city, they continued to think about Kang Guo's purpose - traps are generally used to interfere with the advancement of chariots and hinder cavalry charges. The defensive side of the city built these defenses.
.
Kang Guo's camp acted as a siege party to set up traps. Not only did they send a large number of manpower to dig traps, but they also dug them so far away from Shexing Pass. Whose cavalry were they going to use to hinder them?
To stop Kang's own chariots and cavalry?
The movement of the earth dragon turning over continued.
Liu Guan pressed his eyebrows, which were sore and swollen.
Question: "How long, how wide and how deep is the trap?"
Is Kangguo Daying digging a trap or something else?
The scout said: "Three feet wide, two feet six deep, long... They are still digging over there, I don't know how long they want to dig."
Even though Liu Guan was mentally prepared - a big move that could cause a movement comparable to that of an earth dragon turning over must not be a small project - she was still startled by this number and said in astonishment: "Three feet three wide, two feet six deep
, are you preparing to dig a moat?"
The moats in small places are not of this scale.
The scout was about to speak but stopped.
This data is still being monitored.
Looking at the posture of the Kangguo soldiers and horses, they are obviously dissatisfied with this level, and they are still digging deeper, widening to both sides, and continuing to extend. The same is true for the outpost of Shexing Pass, and the same is true for the rear. All the excavated soil is transported
Go somewhere else.
Yes, all the mud was carted away.
I don't know what to do with all this mud.
After confirming that Kang Guo had no intention of sending troops to attack, Liu Guanxin lowered the city wall and presented the news to his lord Tude.
Brother Tude asked his subordinates about the plan.
"What do you think Kang Guo is planning to do?"
Everyone had the same doubts as Liu Guan. The siege party went all the way to dig traps. It couldn't be to prepare for the attack on Shexing Pass. The general who issued this order was seriously ill. To fight and siege the city, ladders, chariots, etc. were needed.
Rush cart, catapult.
This kind of useless trap is useless.
It can't stop the huge rocks thrown at it, nor can it stop the rain of arrows.
Not long after, someone joked in a weird way: "Could it be that Kang Guo lost the Shexing Pass and was so angry that he just dug up the earth and gravel on the spot and started anew to build another city defense?"
Then someone responded: "Haha, how long will it take to build this?"
The three key passes that blocked the southward movement of the Northern Desert were the result of the joint efforts of the northwest countries, which sent dozens of brave warriors to supervise the work, and two to three hundred thousand hard laborers, which took thirty years and two generations. Kang Guo is running away now.
What's the difference between coming to build a city defense and shaking the mucus from your nose until it reaches your mouth? There was a roar of wanton laughter in the hall.
At first glance, Liu Guan felt that something was not right.
"How long?" Her mind raced quickly, she caught the fleeting flash of inspiration and asked hurriedly, "When did this movement start?"
How long has it been since the earth dragon turned over?
The laughter in the hall became smaller.
Someone replied: "More than an hour."
Liu Guan didn't know what he thought of, and his face turned pale: "How can you dig a trap that is three feet wide and two feet six deep in more than an hour? Judging from the smoke and dust raised, the length of the trap is considerable. Even if thousands of corvees die,
It will work day and night, and optimistically it will take more than a month. It is comparable to the scale of a moat, can it be called a trap?"
Even a blind man can’t be fooled!
Who can this trap be used to trick?
"What could it be if it wasn't a trap?"
At first, they looked down on this bitch, and only regarded Liu Guan as the woman next to Brother Tude, a woman who was a slave girl, and to put it bluntly, she was something that could be bought and sold with money. Later, they discovered that this bitch had a good mind and a good heart.
Also poisonous.
Gradually stop being frivolous and disdainful.
In other words, these emotions are well hidden.
"It can't be to block food and grass, right?"
It's not like they didn't expect Shen Tang to target food and grass. The battle is all about logistics. Whoever's food line collapses first will be unable to hold it back first. However, in their usual thinking, Kang Guo should send someone to ambush.
To sneak attack on their grain-carrying troops and horses, our side can ensure the safety of the grain line to the greatest extent as long as we send out strong and courageous warriors and lead an elite division to escort them.
The only way to fight a war is to take advantage of each other.
After the man finished speaking, the others burst into laughter.
