Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Sanjay didn't need to say anything further.

Xiao Ce had already guessed some of it.

If a person of a higher caste marries a person of a lower caste, then naturally the person of the higher caste will despise them!

He was naturally expelled from the Kshatriya class.

Sanjay then continued, and his thoughts were similar to those of Xiao Ce.

Sanjay didn't seem to care much about this, saying he didn't think being a Vedas was a bad thing.

"So, you mean, apart from the Dali clan, you can live together with everyone else?"

Sanjay nodded: "That's right. Without the contributions of the Vedas and the Shudras, they would starve to death!"

Gulimiza, who had been listening from the side, couldn't help but ask, "Won't they be dissatisfied? Won't they want to rebel?"

Sanjay gave a wry smile: "No! Like I said, we are a nation of gods. We are all born with a destiny, and everyone believes that there must be a reason for being born into a certain class. Only if they cultivate themselves well in this life and do what their class is supposed to do, can they possibly be reborn as Kshatriyas, or even Brahmins, in the next life!"

"And anyone who dares to rebel will be cursed by the gods and reborn as a lowly commoner named Dali in their next life!"

“Those Dali people won’t rebel, because they feel that the suffering they’ve endured in this life is for atonement. They’ll just accept the status quo, be content with being Dali people, and then they won’t have to be Dali people in their next life!”

Gulimiza grew up in the Western Regions, where people value freedom, and she scoffed at Sangjie's words...

When Xiao Ce heard Sang Jie say these things, he was quite surprised and asked, "So... do you believe it?"

Sanjay shook his head and said, "I don't know whether to believe it or not. I only know that who knows what the next life will bring? I've lived a happy life this time, so in the next life I'll be Dali, Dali, I guess..."

Xiao Ce raised an eyebrow. Even someone as shrewd and capable as Sang Jie...

Actually, he believes in this too. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that!

It's easy to imagine how terrifying their brainwashing is.

However, Xiao Ce also understood that the caste system in their Tianzhu Kingdom was actually the same as the aristocratic system on their side.

If they are allowed to develop unchecked, the Xiao Kingdom may also face a similar situation.

After entering India, their territory was in no way inferior to that of Xiao.

I asked Sanjay, and he said that it would take more than ten days to get to Delhi, the capital of their Indian kingdom.

I was thinking of visiting the nearby cities.

However, after passing through a city at random, he lost all interest in sightseeing.

Sanjay naturally noticed Xiao Ce's disdain and said with a hint of embarrassment, "Your Highness, things will be better there after we go to Delhi."

Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "It's alright... Let's hurry on our way. There's still a lot of business to attend to in Xiao Kingdom!"

Sanjay listened and nodded respectfully.

Seeing this, Xiao Ce muttered to himself, "Judging by the time, they must have already started fighting!"

Seeing the worry flash in Xiao Ce's eyes, Gulimiza said, "Your Highness, you don't need to worry. General Yan Jia and Wei Wuji are over there, and General Han Da and the others are on standby and ready to provide support at any time. Unless a million-strong army comes, they will not be in any danger."

Xiao Ce nodded in agreement with Gulimiza's words, saying, "That's certainly true, and that's what I considered when I left! But why do I feel a little uneasy..."

...

Xiao Ce's estimation was actually very accurate.

Saleh Ali had already set up camp with his large army outside a minefield on the border.

They tried releasing a few horses, but they were all blown up after running for a while.

Saleh Ali watched for a while, but he didn't show any signs of nervousness.

On the contrary, he remained calm and instructed his deputy to set up a pot and cook a meal. After eating, they could leave the house the next day.

The lieutenant, listening to Saleh Ali's words, felt as if he had misheard.

"General, do you have any ideas?"

Saleh Ali listened to his deputy's words and said with a smile, "Of course, we'll just push through tomorrow."

The deputy general looked at Saleh Ali, who had a confident and determined expression on his face.

Without asking any further questions, he simply gave the order.

Meanwhile, on a hillside outside the minefield, Wei Wuji and Yan Jia were using binoculars to scout out the enemy's situation.

"General Yan Jia, you've really got them trapped!"

Wei Wuji said this while looking through the binoculars.

Yan Jia nodded in agreement: "I just don't know how long we can hold them off?"

Wei Wuji chimed in, "I really hope they find a way to break through quickly! I've heard that the opposing army is called the Saleh Armed Forces. They're the most formidable army in the Slavic country! If we defeat them, it will be a great way to avenge our previous defeat!"

Seeing that Yan Jia didn't respond, Wei Wuji said, "General Yan Jia, we have nearly 300,000 troops on our side! They only have 50,000. No matter how you look at it, we can't lose, right?"

Yan Jia smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course, it's not that you'll lose... it's just that I'm afraid we won't be able to drive them back in time, and we'll be locked in a stalemate here!"

Wei Wuji's gaze hardened: "General Yan Jia, that shouldn't be the case, right?"

Seeing Wei Wuji's worried expression, Yan Jia smiled and said, "Logically speaking, that shouldn't be the case... We still need to see how they deal with it! If they don't have a good solution and just force their way through... then it means our worries were unnecessary!"

Seeing this, Wei Wuji chimed in with a laugh, "Even if they were stupid, they wouldn't be this stupid. If they really were this stupid, then they really wouldn't match my intelligence!"

The next day, the sky was bright.

Wei Wuji and Yan Jia were awakened by a series of deafening bombings.

A tremendous bombing sound.

Let them take the binoculars and look directly...

They set up their cannons and began bombarding the minefield in front of them.

After a period of intense bombing, they advanced again.

Just like an ox plowing a field, they cleared a section and then moved on.

The disappearance of the minefield also indicates that their shells did not cause a second explosion.

That means the minefield has been cleared.

Less than half an hour later, they had bombed almost the entire area.

After confirming that the minefield was clear, they released another group of horses to test it repeatedly.

Their Saleh army cheered excitedly.

...

Meanwhile, Yan Jia and Wei Wuji on the other side did not look pleased.

After all, it was expected that they would suffer some casualties.

As a result, apart from killing a few of their scouts, their regular army suffered no losses whatsoever.

Moreover, they were stunned by the sheer audacity of their attack.

They estimated that the artillery shells used for mine clearance numbered in the thousands...

Before they could even react in surprise, Yan Jia shouted, "Quick...find cover inside the mountain! They're about to bombard the mountain!"

Wei Wuji said with an incredulous expression, "How could they possibly..."

They had also deployed troops in an ambush here and had already covered the enemy with artillery fire. If the enemy had advanced just a little further, they could have been blown up...

Before Wei Wuji could speak, Yan Jia grabbed him and ran.

He ran and shouted, telling everyone to find some caves.

...

Meanwhile, Saleh Ali had already noticed the telescopes reflecting light from time to time on the distant mountain.

After the mine clearance was completed, Saleh estimated the distance and determined that they had some long-range artillery that could cover the area.

"Artillery Unit One, aiming complete!"

"Artillery Unit Two, aiming complete!"

...

"Artillery Unit 10, aiming complete!"

Their ten artillery units aimed at the areas on both sides that had just reflected light.

Saleh Ali's face hardened: "Release it! Let them see the power of our long-range artillery!"

These long-range cannons were considered a secret weapon of the Constantine family.

After they developed the technology, they didn't mass-produce it. It wasn't that they didn't want to.

Rather, it's because many of the materials are too difficult to produce.

Therefore, they only produced a thousand long-range cannons, and this time they produced enough for Saleh to produce a hundred, which was quite a large investment.

With a burst of bombing, the mountains on both sides were blown up.

Moreover, their bombings were extremely accurate...

They blew up their ambush positions, triggering a chain reaction...

Wei Wuji and Yan Jia hid on the side of a giant rock, where they could feel the heat wave hitting them.

Debris flew.

"Holy crap, those bastards, what kind of firearms are those... how could they hit me from this distance!"

Wei Wuji said, cursing.

He was cursing, but their artillery showed no sign of stopping.

One wave after another, they practically turned the entire mountainside upside down.

Wei Wuji and Yan Jia were covered in cuts and scrapes from the flying stones, looking utterly disheveled.

It took a full incense stick's time to finally stop.

The air was filled with the smell of burning.

The two people were lying face down on the ground, buried under dust and gravel...

Yan Jia woke up first, moved its body slightly, and then crawled out.

"Wei Wuji...Wei Wuji!"

Seeing Wei Wuji lying motionless on the ground, Yan Jia hurriedly called out to Wei Wuji.

After a long while, Wei Wuji coughed violently twice.

"Yan...Yan...General...I...I'm still alive..."

"Damn it, those Slavic bastards, they think shells are free?"

Wei Wuji patted the dust off his clothes; they all had small wounds on them.

Yan Jia's face was grim as he said, "Wei Wuji, we need to go back as soon as possible... If they use this tactic, then the battle strategies that His Highness told us about before will be completely useless!"

Wei Wuji nodded, his face pale: "That's right, and their leader is definitely not someone to be trifled with!"

As they were speaking, they heard another burst of artillery fire...

The two men were still traumatized by the long-range artillery fire and instinctively crouched down.

However, the sound of cannon fire was in the distance...

Wei Wuji and Yan Jia quickly took out their binoculars from their pockets and started looking through them.

"Damn it! Do they think shells are free? How are we supposed to fight if they keep firing like this?"

Wei Wuji saw the scene through the telescope and couldn't help but curse.

There is no other reason.

After they had walked for a while, they would go to any place where they could find an ambush.

Regardless of whether there is an ambush, just use artillery to search the area.

Their weapons have long reach.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to solve.

"Let's quickly remove the ambush and traps we set! At this speed, they can't get very far! Let's reconsider our strategy!"

A ruthless glint appeared in Wei Wuji's eyes: "General Yan Jia, then I'll leave it to you to inform them... I have another plan."

Yan Jia looked at Wei Wuji and nodded, "Alright!"

He didn't ask Wei Wuji what he was going to do. After all, although Wei Wuji was young, he had heard about the battles he had fought.

Xiao Ce trusts him, so he just needs to play a supporting role!

As Wei Wuji walked, he shouted, "Is anyone still breathing? Is anyone still breathing?"

A short while later, more than a dozen soldiers emerged from various nooks and crannies.

Wei Wuji's expression was not good, because there were hundreds of people lying in ambush here.

Some soldiers noticed Wei Wuji's expression and comforted him, "Your Highness...it's worth it...we exchanged so much of their artillery fire for us, they really think highly of us!"

Wei Wuji said solemnly, "Each of your lives is extremely precious!"

With that, Wei Wuji said with a cold look in his eyes, "General Yan Jia, go and lead an army of 10,000 men to continue using the previous guerrilla tactics to delay their progress. I was thinking of using an ambush... but that's no longer a realistic option."

Yan Jia nodded as he listened to Wei Wuji's words.

"And what about you...?"

Wei Wuji said, "They've actually dug out a rough section of the underground Great Wall that Your Highness ordered earlier. It leads directly to the back of the minefield!"

"This Saleh militia seems formidable. But they're just using their weapons to push through! However, with this kind of fighting, their ammunition consumption must be extremely high! So, if I'm not mistaken, they definitely have a supply line!"

Having said that, Yan Jia finally understood what Wei Wuji meant.

"So, you want to cut off their continued arms supplies?"

Wei Wuji nodded and said, "That's right! Not only that! I also need to transport all the troops through that nascent underground tunnel to their rear! General Yan Jia, so I need you to hold them off from the front... I see their formation is like a net, they certainly won't expect that we have another tunnel leading to their rear!"

"On the one hand, we can cut off their supply of weapons; on the other hand, we can set up a second ambush here. They've already searched this area thoroughly; they certainly wouldn't expect there to be another ambush here!"

"When their arms supply is cut off, they will definitely come back here! Then we'll give them a big surprise!"
