Chapter 6543 Three Consecutive Defeats

After several sealed states tried to reduce the number of locusts in East Africa, the second round of locust plagues finally dropped to the level of 10 billion when it arrived in South Asia. However, this level was an unbearable pain for the Cao family. ? ??????н???.博??????

Cao Cao, who had been ready to mobilize all his manpower to give a heavy blow to Ardashir in Kabul, was forcibly summoned back as soon as he left. There was no way, the rear base was about to explode.

Because of the bad terrain of Beigui, locusts basically would not rush to the Kabul area, but locusts killed Kandahar like playing, easily killing the farmland and saffron plantations in the Herat area, and then rushed straight to Kandahar.

"I say, brothers, why don't we withdraw now." Kuang Ding fell into silence as he looked at the overwhelming locusts. They were the sons-in-law of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, and came here to learn how to build a country. As a result, a lot of things happened before they learned anything.

"I heard that Lao Liuzi has taken his people to Turan. I think this locust plague should not be able to withstand it." Song Ming was also a little speechless when he saw the overwhelming locusts.

The middle-level commanders present were all from ordinary people and had basically experienced locust plagues, but the locust plagues they had seen were completely different from this locust plague, especially when they heard that this locust plague was only the second round and had not yet reached the level of the ultimate outbreak. Central Asia was going to be finished.

"Lao Cao can't learn here, why don't we withdraw? This place is too high-end and I can't learn it." Kuang Ding suggested again. It's not that he can't learn it, but the atmosphere here is somewhat depressing, especially after Lao Cao came back alive, many things became even worse, and Kuang Ding was very uncomfortable staying there.

"Don't withdraw yet, let's see how much impact the locust plague can cause. Brothers will also establish a country in Nangui at that time. Let's first determine the extent of the impact of this locust plague. After all, this thing can really rush to Kushan." Zheng Ke said that he would still stay for a while, not for anything else, just to understand the intensity of the locust plague in East Africa.

The other people also felt sympathetic when they heard this. How could they not feel sad when the fields they had worked so hard to plant were eaten by locusts? So when Zheng Ke said this, the others nodded.

In the following days, this group of people saw how the locust plague in East Africa was raging. The Helmand River irrigation area built in the entire Kandahar area was easily eaten into a wasteland. Whether it was rice that had not been harvested in time or sugarcane, it was eaten up directly. Such an exaggerated scene made Kuang Ding and his group of officers who came to learn gasp for air. This was too cruel. The East African locusts were too fierce.

As for the defense on the Cao side, it was basically equivalent to lying flat and letting the hammers. There was no way. Lao Cao led the main force up the Helmand River, but before he arrived, he received news that the locust plague had passed through, and then he quickly led his troops back. The time wasted back and forth, so Lao Cao returned not long ago, and the East African locust plague had arrived in Kandahar, and there was not much time to prepare.

If Cao Cao had not come out in full force, with Xun Yu in charge, it would not have been possible to cause such a mess. But the previous plan was called "sitting on the ground", so of course he had to bring all his elites with him. As a result, all the main forces and backbones were taken away, and the locusts attacked the old nest. Cao Cao felt collapsed.

Fortunately, Cao Cao had just experienced a large-scale run and social and economic turmoil. Everyone had deliberately stockpiled supplies, just like people who were under a blockade would definitely stockpile some dry food for themselves. Although the new grain was destroyed, relatively speaking, the overall degree of disaster under Cao Cao's rule was much lighter than that of the Central Asian family. After all, Cao Cao's rule harvested grain heavily last year.

"Brothers, do you have time to go to the Ganges with me?" Zheng Ke watched the entire Kandahar irrigation area being eaten up by locusts, sat on the stone steps and thought for a long time, and confronted several other brothers who were traveling with him. He wanted to go to the Ganges to see how exaggerated the disaster situation there was.

Song Ming, Kuang Ding and others all looked a little embarrassed after hearing this. There was no way. Among them, only Zheng Ke was a real immortal veteran. The others were less than three levels of smelting on average. They had strength, but they were more like middle-level commanders.

Therefore, it was really too difficult for Kuang Ding and his group to follow the East African locust plague to go to the Ganges to investigate. Even if the Indus-Ganges Essence Area hit by the East African locust plague was in chaos, even if it was in chaos, veterans with two or three levels of smelting would be easily killed if they were discovered.

For Song Ming, Kuang Ding and others, without the protection of the army, they were not much stronger than ordinary soldiers. At this point in time, it was really difficult for them to go to the Ganges.

"Okay, then who among you can make a magic mirror? Give me a fool-proof magic mirror that can record the real-time light and shadow. I'll go over there and take a picture of the situation over there so that we can prepare ourselves mentally." Zheng Ke asked the people present. It didn't matter if the others couldn't go. He would definitely go anyway, as he was working under Zhang Fei.

The enfeoffment method that had been circulating in the Ganges was basically known to the middle-level officials. It was not a 100% guarantee that Zhang Fei would enfeoff Wu Jiyan, but at least 90%.

Zheng Ke followed Zhang Fei for many years, so when he was enfeoffed, he was probably near Ujayan. So now is the time to go and see what the situation is there, whether the locust plague is serious, and to understand how much the East African locust plague actually affects the Indus-Ganges Essence Area. These are the problems to be faced later.

Some things are much more effective to see with your own eyes than to speculate.

"That's not a problem. I just happen to be able to do this." Kuang Ding could also understand Zheng Ke's thoughts. They all wanted to see, to see with their own eyes how much impact the locust plague had on the Indus-Ganges Essence Area. Unfortunately, they were not strong enough. If they were discovered, they would definitely be killed. Zheng Ke was different. As long as this guy was careful, even if he was blocked by the internal energy, he could at least run away. The speed of life and the fleeting time were not a joke.

Soon Zheng Ke took the secret mirror made by Kuang Ding, explained to his wife, and asked her to help write the research report. He took dry food and walked through the mountains to the Kushan side.

Again, the peaks of six or seven thousand meters can stop the army and locusts, but they can't stop the immortal veterans. Even if the Kushans also made some arrangements on the border, facing Zheng Ke's way of marching, there was really no point in stopping them. It didn't take too long for Zheng Ke to successfully reach the Indus-Ganges Essence Area, and when he arrived, the locusts that passed through Central Asia finally arrived.

Flying along the coastline, the locusts that ate everything they could reach the lower reaches of the Indus River hungry, and then they started to show off directly.

Ahmad was one of the first Kushan officers to receive the news. His own execution ability was influenced by his brother Gujarat, which was quite strong. Therefore, after flying back to his homeland, he organized people to take precautions in the coastal areas of Gujarat.

Various secret techniques, various means of preventing locust plagues passed down from ancestors, and even dragged the navy that was resting in the Gulf of Kutch to arrange a blocking line as much as possible.

There is no way. This is the time when the grain in the Indus region is about to mature. Every day of delay means a sharp reduction in subsequent pressure.

Under the rule of Brahmanism, the middle and lower castes can eat less, but they cannot not eat. When they are really starving to death, the animal nature of human beings will naturally be aroused. Even if they still have some respect for Brahmans and Kshatriyas, driven by hunger, unrest is almost inevitable.

So if you don’t want unrest to break out in the future, you must stop the migrating locust plague now, delay as much time as possible, and buy time for the harvest of the grain-producing land behind you. Otherwise, if tens of billions of locusts really rush into the Indus-Ganges grain-producing land, it will be all over.

After the mighty clouds appeared on the horizon, the naval officers who were resting in the Gulf of Kutch didn’t care about arguing with Ahmad. They would talk about other things after the locust plague was solved.

Nijiaye tried his best to call on the power stored in the group defense mode. The cloud gas stored in the ship was converted into hot light by him. When the locusts were flying, a stream of hot high-energy light passed through the locust army and evaporated countless locusts.

But it was useless. Even if the hot high-energy light was like rain and pouring, it was meaningless. The locust army didn't care about the loss at all. It seemed that they didn't feel the danger and rushed directly towards the fleet.

Flying over the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, the locusts in front had already eaten all they could. The locusts at the end of the second wave were already hungry just by flying over. At this time, let alone high-energy light, even if there was a sea of ​​fire or a nuclear explosion in front, the locusts had to fight their way out and rush into the essence of the Indus River to have a good meal, because without this bite, this group of locusts would not survive for ten days. With this bite, this group of locusts can at least resist for sixty days.

Golden red light, blazing flames, pale blue lightning under the secret technique of Emperor Neng Tian, ​​Ahmada almost took out all the secret techniques he could organize. At this time, he didn't even care that some newly developed strategic secret techniques could not be used for other purposes before being used against the Han army.

For Ahmada at this point in time, damn, what can't be used! If I can't pass this level, my Gujarat will riot.

"No!" Nijiaye screamed and watched his ship being etched with a big secret technique and gnawed by locusts to create a gap, and then the energy was blocked, and then because of the accumulation of high-energy energy flow, it exploded directly. The defense line that was almost a wall of fire had a gap directly, and then under the leadership of dozens of locusts at the level of internal energy leaving the body, they broke through the battle line with the secret technique attack and rushed to the fleet on a large scale.

The hungry super demon crystal locusts showed no courtesy to the wooden warships of Kushan. They started to gnaw. The sound of crunching did not stop after tens of millions of locusts broke through the blockade and landed on the flagship. Soon, the silk flag was gnawed away by the locusts. The cork board disappeared at an almost visible speed. Then, even the specially nurtured shipboard entered the locusts' mouths.

What is a demon crystal locust? This is a demon crystal locust. Almost most of the locusts have acquired some internal energy by swallowing. Hundreds of thousands or even millions of Qi-cultivating locusts can be crushed to death by ordinary people, but these locusts have an amazing appetite and terrible teeth that can gnaw through hardwood with this little internal energy.

"Die!" Ahmada no longer cared about the punishment afterwards. He took out the strategic weapons stored in the rear base of Gujarat, the super weapon flamethrower to deal with the Han Dynasty shield guard in the next stage.

Etching pressurization, etching explosion, special secret atomization, the terrible war-ready weapons that can spray more than 50 meters of high-temperature flames were directly used by Ahmada to deal with the locusts. Unfortunately, it was useless. There were too many. Excluding those East African locusts that lost their way to Central Asia and began to rush towards the Turan grassland, the main force of the second wave of East African locust plague was basically here.

Even if the second wave of East African locust plague was not very strong, the individual strength and scale were average, and it could not be compared with the third wave at all, but the scale of 20 billion was enough to make Ahmada collapse. For seven days and seven nights, Ahmada and Nijiaye desperately blocked the locust army near the Gulf of Kutch, blocking the main force of about 10 billion locusts.

But it was meaningless. Even if the locust army, which was hundreds of miles long and dozens of miles wide, was blocked for a while, there were still tens of billions of locusts that had no idea what was happening. They passed through the Gulf of Kutch from the north, south, and above, and then rushed into the Kushan Essence Area.

They were defeated, and they were almost kneeling down to call the Locust Lord. The result was almost no different from that of the Han family in Central Asia next door. At most, the Ganges was more miserable. Seeing the locust plague that was still not solved even after killing itself to collapse, Ahmada completely collapsed.

As for Nikaya, the easy things on the ship had been eaten up, and even the flagship that rushed to the front had its deck eaten by the boundary-breaking locusts and their brothers. Several holes were gnawed in it - if the Locust Lord didn't show his power, you would think we were playing tricks, right? Eat him!

To be honest, when Ahmada saw that there was only a layer of floating soil left in the navy's war reserve grain depot, he really felt that he might as well have robbed the war reserve grain depot directly at the beginning, at least he could have exchanged something with the three Persian Gulf families. Now he didn't exchange anything, and the war reserve grain depot was gone, damn locusts!

"I will fight you!" Some families in Gujarat could no longer bear the humiliation of the locusts. After even their clothes were eaten up, they chose to self-destruct, killing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of locusts.
