Chapter 440: Ready to Go
In the evening, the demons attacked the city again, leaving behind hundreds of corpses of armored demons and fled, as if the light wind did not intend to forcibly attack the city, or maybe he had other plans.
In the demon camp, a group of senior generals had cold eyes, waiting for a lecture.
Qianfeng covered his palm over a cup of tea, felt the steam slightly, and asked without raising his head, "Is there any news of the two highnesses?"
"Not yet. ”
Lian Ji hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness was captured by the Imperial Sailor warship, the warship was sailing on the Daojiang River, and when our winged people tracked down the warship, there was no one on board. ”
"Hmph..."
Qianfeng lightly slapped his palm on the table and said, "If we can't find the two highnesses, let's wait to lose our heads together... Also, when will the horseshoe crab legion arrive?"
"Those water ghosts?" Lian Xuan's expression was a little disdainful, and he said, "The horseshoe crab people are naturally stupid and don't know how to communicate, so there is no news of them for the time being, but they have already arrived in the eastern shallow sea area of Lingdong Province two months ago, so it stands to reason if they haven't lost their way...... They have now entered the Daojiang River valley in Cangnan Province. ”
"Sharp, sharp, small blades. ”
"Commander, what are you doing with these?"
"Equipped for the horseshoe crab regiment. Qianfeng said lightly: "Lin Muyu has started to dig the waters of the Daojiang River, don't think about it, he has already given up the way of retreating by land when he learned that we built the city, so he plans to retreat from the Daojiang River...... Hehe, if he really wants to go by water, then he is looking for death, the horseshoe crab army can easily chisel through every empire, I want to make Lin Muyu ruined on the Daojiang River... You quickly arrange for the casting of blades, and contact the horseshoe crabs, so that the horseshoe crabs can hold their breath for me and not show their heads, otherwise Lin Muyu's ears and eyes will definitely be able to sense them. ”
"Yes..."
(Note: Horseshoe crab read hou, underwater swordtail creatures)
......
In the west city of Wugu City, there was a "squeak", and a huge iron door spread on the ground slowly opened, carrying a thick dust. Under the light of the torch, Lin Muyu calmly stepped into the underground under the protection of Wei Qiu, Situ Sen, Situ Xue and others, while Zhao Ritian, the commander of Wugu City, held a torch and said respectfully: "This shipyard was built three hundred years ago, because it is hidden underground, so few people except the governor know about it, and we have also recently discovered it occasionally. ”
The underground space is very spacious, and far away, the warships are stranded on the ground, and the water in the underground shipyard has long since dried up.
"When did you find out?" asked Lin Muyu.
"Just this morning, a few children accidentally discovered this place when they were playing, and their subordinates protected this place very well, and they didn't move at all. ”
"Really?"
Lin Muyu looked at the footprints on the footboard of a warship, couldn't help but smile secretly, and said, "Let's go, let's get on the boat and take a look." ”
When everyone boarded the first warship, they found that it was full of boxes, and Wei Qiu stepped forward to pry open the first box, which was shining with gold, and it was all gold coins...
"Heavenly ......" Situ Xue's beautiful eyes were about to fly out of the golden light.
Zhao Ritian said: "These warships are all Hu Tiening's. ”
"That's ......"
Lin Muyu smiled slightly: "It should be that Hu Tiening originally planned to use a warship to transport gold coins to leave Wugu City, but before he could leave, he was shot and killed by his father's secret envoy, count how many gold coins there are here." ”
Wei Qiu silently counted them and said, "My lord, these warships are full of gold coins, if you look at the number...... At least 20 million gold coins or more. ”
Situ Xue couldn't help laughing: "Wow, I'm really rich this time......"
Lin Muyu said: "These are all the illegal gains of Hu Tiening's private mining of gold and coinage, we can't move, defend the revenge, send someone down to move all the gold coins off the boat, we have to use these boats to escape, we can't bring so many gold coins." ”
"Ah, Commander, don't you, don't you want this money?" Situ Xue was a little unhappy.
Lin Muyu couldn't help but look at her with a smile: "General Xue, don't worry, just don't do it for the time being, after defeating the demon clan, this will naturally still be our territory, and it's not too late to come back and move." ”
Wei Qiu took a deep breath and said: "My lord, with all due respect, this Wugu City was originally a city ruled by Xiang Yu, and it is also equivalent to Lan Gong's territory, but Xiang Yu and Lan Gong's guards are basically all killed, if we leave, it is best to leave some people to guard Wugu City, so that after defeating the demon clan, Wugu City will be ours, surnamed Qin and not Tang." ”
"That's exactly what I mean. Lin Muyu nodded: "Select one person from the thousand-commander of the Gentian Battalion to serve as the commander of the army of Wugu City, Zhao Ritian will appoint him as the deputy commander, and then select ten centurions to serve as the commander of the Thousand Commanders of Wugu City, and integrate all the defenders and security forces in Wugu City. ”
Wei Qiu smiled and nodded: "My subordinates will do it immediately..."
......
Late at night, the underground dock was a lively scene, the people of the Gentian Battalion quickly carried boxes of gold coins, and led the water from the Daojiang River, and launched all the nearly 50 warships in the dock, just waiting for Lin Muyu's order to withdraw from the Jedi of Wugu City, after all, no one wants to stay here and wait for death.
In the tent, Situ Xue personally held a candle and followed Lin Muyu to illuminate the terrain on the sand table.
And Lin Muyu looked at it again and again, and finally his gaze fell on a basin plain between Wugu City and Liecheng, and he pressed his index finger on it and asked, "Where is this?"
A military staff officer from Wugu City clasped his fists and said, "Lord Qiyu, this basin is called the Wildfire Plain. ”
"What is the altitude?"
"1025 meters. ”
"What is the elevation of the Daojiang River?"
"1023 meters, according to the current season, it should be 1024 meters. ”
"It's too low. Lin Muyu frowned and said, "The embankments on both sides of the Daojiang River, how high is the altitude?"
"A hundred meters above the water, it was the embankment that the King of Light ordered to be built twenty years ago. ”
"Oh......"
Lin Muyu couldn't help but feel agitated, looked up at the sky, and said, "Father helped me again." ”
"Commander, what do you mean?" Situ Xue looked dazed.
Lin Muyu smiled, didn't say anything, and continued to ask: "Counselor, how big is the area of the wildfire plain, and how is the water storage of the Daojiang River?"
The counselor frowned and said, "This...... It needs to be specifically surveyed and mapped, otherwise the subordinates will not dare to speak out. ”
"There's no time to survey, tell me what you think is the most correct proportion. ”
"Yes. ”
The counselor hugged his fists and said: "Commander, the water area of the main basin of the Daojiang River is very wide and turbulent, according to the area of the wildfire field, if you want to accumulate water in the wildfire field for one meter, you need at least three meters of water in the Daojiang basin, and it will take half an hour to irrigate, and according to the military strategy of the commander, if you want to implement it, you must store at least five meters of water in the wildfire field, so you need to water the water in the Daojiang basin for three meters high, and the flow rate is turbulent for one and a half hours, and this is just an optimistic estimate." ”
"I see. ”
Lin Muyu nodded approvingly: "Thank you for your hard work, you can't tell anyone about this matter, once you succeed, you have made a great contribution..."
"Thank you, little man, for the cultivation..."
Lin Muyu looked at the terrain on the sand table again, the counselor smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to a point in the Daojiang River Basin, and said: "Here, it is only five miles away from the Liecheng garrisoned by the commander of Feng Jixing, and there used to be a dam here that cut off the river water, called the 'Liecheng Dam', which was later pushed off, but still retains a lot of adobe, and with 100,000 troops and people, the dam can be built within three days to store water." ”
"Good..."
Lin Muyu slapped the table and said, "Take a pen and paper, I want to write a letter to Brother Feng." ”
Situ Xue was at a loss when she heard this, and said, "Yes..."
"Also, send an order to go down and look for balsa wood in the city of five grains, and each Gentian battalion soldier must carry a piece of balsa wood, and the standard of wood size is enough to carry a human body to float on the water. ”
"Yes..."
......
In the early morning of the next day, Xiaobai, the letter bird, flapped his wings and landed on the windowsill of a small courtyard in Liecheng, chirping a few times.
A female staff member of the Elixir Division gently picked Xiaobai up and knocked on the door, "Archdeacon, the letter bird is here." ”
"Really?"
Chu Yao turned over and got up, and took the letter bird from the female staff with an excited face, and Lin Muyu's handwriting was clearly visible on it, although the letter was for Feng Jixing.
"Go, follow me to the Wind Commander. ”
"Yes..."
Put on the cloak of the archdeacon of the Elixir Division, and quickly whip his horse and head straight to the south of the Burning City.
In the wounded barracks, many soldiers who were injured in the battle with the demons were recuperating here, and Feng Jixing was inspecting and training in the shooting range, and when Chu Yao came, Feng Jixing immediately turned around and said, "Ah Yao, what's wrong?"
"Ah Yu has sent a letter..."
"Show me..."
"Hmm. ”
Feng Jixing unfolded the letterhead and carefully read each word, and his face couldn't help but fly with excitement.
"What did Ah Yu say, Wind Commander?"
"Hahaha......" Feng Jixing laughed, his eyes were full of battle intent, and said, "I'm afraid that only Ah Yu can come up with such a crazy strategy in this world...... Whoever comes, immediately collect the cloth bags and sacks in the whole city, take out all the cloth and silk for me to make into sandbags, put sand and soil for later use, and use all the manpower we can muster to do it immediately, this is the highest order of the Burning City and even the Empire..."
"Yes, Commander..."
Feng Jixing looked in the direction of Southern Wugu City and said, "I hope it will succeed this time, as long as it succeeds...... Ah Yu has made a great achievement..."
"What the hell is it......" Chu Yao asked a little unhappily.
Feng Jixing glanced at her dotingly, and said with a smile: "Military secrets, I can't sue you, when we succeed, A-Yao will naturally understand..."
Chu Yao is Chu Huaiwei's sister, and Feng Jixing is Chu Huaiwei's best friend, perhaps invisibly, Feng Jixing has treated Chu Yao as his own sister.
