I saw a river flowing in under the wall of the east city wall.I saw that the channel of this river was very wide, tens of meters in length, and it was a big river. Such a river was enough to support a large city.However, the water level in the river was very low at this time, and the water flow was obviously much less than normal, less than one-tenth of normal.

After the river flows for a certain distance, it flows into a super large lake.

Lord Green introduced to Shirley: "This river with a very low water level is the Bishui River. Now it is the non-flood season, so the water flow has become so small. And this big lake is the Southeast Great Lake."

Shirley nodded, and saw several people beside the Bishui River were writing, drawing and calculating, and one of them was Nader, the fat man's water director.

At this time, a person handed a report to Nader, and Nader nodded with a smile after receiving it, and then Nader turned around and was about to leave the river.When turning around, Nader saw the Green City Lord and his party not far away, and ran over quickly.

Nader ran to Shirley and the others, panting and said: "My lord, General Shirley, the calculation is done!"

Lord Green quickly asked, "How is it?"

Nader panted and said with a smile on his face: "After preliminary calculations, according to the current total daily water flow of the Bishui River, and the average daily water consumption of Lighthouse City. If you save some use, the total water flow in a day , enough for Lighthouse City to use for two days!"

As soon as Nader said this, Lord Green, the generals, and even Shirley smiled.

After a string of bad news, there is finally some good news.

Lord Green asked worriedly: "Is the calculation correct?"

A series of bad news made City Lord Green unable to believe that this was good news.

Nader nodded quickly. "There must be no mistake in the calculation, I asked them to calculate how much to eat!"

The smile on the face of the Green City Lord suddenly became wider. He was worried that the water flow of the Clear Water River in one day would not be enough for the use of the Lighthouse City in one day, but he did not expect that it would be enough for two days now!

Bart laughed and said: "This is really great. If the water flow of the Clear Water River is only enough for one day, then we have to defend the Clear Water River outside the city every day for a whole month during the month when we hold on to the Lighthouse City and wait for reinforcements. Let the wolf mercenary group pollute the upper reaches. Now the water in the Bishui River is enough for two days a day, then we only need to defend for half a month, and the city can have enough water!"

ps: the third update

122. Digging a Puddle

City Lord Green nodded repeatedly, and said, "However, it is necessary to make full use of the water flow of the Bishui River, so as not to let the water run off."

Xue Li said: "The Great Southeastern Lake has already been polluted. If the water from the Bishui River is allowed to flow into the Great Southeastern Lake, it will also be polluted. We need to find a way."

Several generals behind him immediately thought of a solution.

A general said: "Then we just need to drain all the water from the Southeast Great Lake, and then let the water from the Bishui River flow into the Southeast Great Lake?"

Immediately someone retorted: "The Southeastern Great Lake is so big, how many days do you have to smoke?"

Jesse, the captain of the first brigade, said: "Then, why don't we send hundreds of people to scoop up the water from the Bishui River before it flows into the southeast lake?"

Bart smiled and retorted: "You don't even know if half of the water can be used like this."

Jesse mused, "Then what if I install hundreds of pumping trucks on the river?"

Everyone still shook their heads, regardless of how much water can be used in this way, but there will definitely still be a lot of water flowing into the Southeast Great Lake and being polluted.

Adjutant Boge thought for a while and said, "Then if we dig another puddle and let the water from the Bishui River flow into the puddle, wouldn't it be able to fully fill it?"

When the generals heard this, they immediately smiled and nodded their heads in agreement.Bart smiled and praised: "You really deserve to be a civil servant, but you are smarter than us vulgar people!"

But then the captain of the first brigade, Jesse, wondered: "But, won't the water seep into the soil?"

The faces of all the generals changed, and they all suddenly remembered.Yes, the water seeps into the soil, doesn't it all flow away?Although I don't know why the water in the lake doesn't flow away, but if you dig a hole and pour in the water, all the water will indeed flow into the soil.

All the generals scratched their heads in distress and were extremely anxious.

The captain of the First Brigade smiled wryly, "Hey, it's really hard to use your brain. I'd rather go to war."

City Lord Green was not in a hurry, and ordered with a smile, "Call me for Warren."

Only then did the generals realize that this kind of thing needs to be done by professionals.Varun is the engineering director of the Beacon City City Hall, in charge of various engineering constructions of the Beacon City, and he is also an outstanding engineering professional.

Immediately someone called Warren.

It didn't take long for a thin, well-dressed man with monocular glasses to look like a middle-aged and elderly man riding a horse to the Lord Green.

This person is Warren, the engineering director.Warren got off his horse, bowed respectfully to Lord Green and Shirley, and said, "Master, General Shirley, what can I do for you?"

Lord Green immediately told the story.

After listening to it, Varun nodded, looked at the Bishui River and the surrounding area, and began to think.

Lord Green and the generals waited patiently.City Lord Green knew that Director Warren was an excellent engineer. It was because of his outstanding level that Green specially hired him to be the engineering director of Lighthouse City, in charge of various projects in Lighthouse City.

Not long after, Varen turned and faced Lord Green and Shirley again, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty has an idea."

Lord Green hurriedly said, "Please tell me."

Warren laughed and said: "Since we want to use all the water of the Bishui River, it's very simple. We just need to completely cut off the water from the Bishui River to the southeast Great Lake, and then dig another puddle to let the water flow into it."

The generals were taken aback for a moment, but they didn't expect Warren to come in and say the method they had thought of just now but it didn't work.Bart hurriedly said, "But won't the water flow under the soil?"

Warren laughed and said, "It's just because the hole dug wasn't deep enough."

Bart and all the generals looked blank, and Bart asked, "Why?"

Warren laughed and said, "You guys won't understand if you're too professional. To put it simply, the deeper the ground, the more difficult it is for water to penetrate. When it reaches a certain level, it will not be permeable. We call that place impermeable. layer. According to the geology of Lighthouse City, as long as it is dug to a depth of five meters, it will be impermeable. Of course, it may actually be permeable to a little water, but the amount is extremely small and can be ignored.”

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but suddenly realized.

Varun continued: "Because it takes many days to dig a big hole in one go. The water in the Bishui River will be lost so many days before the big hole is dug and can start to fill the water. So I It is suggested that we dig multiple small pits at the same time. After the first small pit is dug, let the water of the Bishui River flow in. When the first small pit is filled with water, the second small pit is dug to allow the water to continue to flow to the second small pit. Three small pits, and then the fourth, fifth, and sixth pits. In this way, we don’t have to wait for the time to dig the pits, and we can immediately reserve the water.”

All the generals were overjoyed, as expected, professionals are different!

Hearing that there was a solution, Shirley couldn't help but smiled and nodded.

Lord Green said with a smile: "That's really great! If we can fully utilize the water of the Bishui River, then we only need to hold the section of the Bishui River from the outside of the city to the East Forest for two weeks. ! How many people are needed for this project?"

Warren pondered for a while and said, "How big is each hole and how many holes are dug? I need to go back and calculate to find out. The result will be given tonight at the earliest. But in terms of manpower, at least 6000 strong men are needed!"

When the generals heard this, their faces were filled with surprise. This number was more than twice that of the defenders!But after thinking about it, this is also reasonable, after all, it is now necessary to store water for 10 people in Lighthouse City.

Lord Green nodded and said: "Old Mr. Warren, I will leave this matter to you. We will fully cooperate with your needs!"

Warren bowed gracefully with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty will definitely do my best."

After the problem was solved, City Lord Green and the lieutenant general couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, a soldier shouted from the east wall: "General Shirley, the lord of the city! It's bad! A 20-man squad from the wolf mercenary regiment is rushing towards the city. Bishuihe. The leader is Amen, one of the leaders! The patrolling soldiers can't stop them, and Captain Nomi is chasing him but can't catch up!"

At this time, Lord Green and the others were located close to the east city wall, so they could hear the shouts of the soldiers on the east city wall.

When everyone heard this, they all turned pale with shock.The members of the wolf mercenary group really wanted to attack Bishuihe!

But now the patrolling soldiers can't stop them, Captain Nomi can't catch up, and although City Lord Green and the others can catch up in a straight line, they are stopped by the city wall!

When everyone was in a hurry, Xue Li suddenly rushed towards the city wall.

Lord Green was overjoyed when he saw it. He knew that with Shirley's strength, no matter how high the city wall was, she could easily go up there!

However, when Shirley rushed to the bottom of the city wall, she didn't rush up the city wall, but jumped into the clear water river nearby!

City Lord Green was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately realized that it would be faster to get out from under the water!

However, Lord Green suddenly remembered that the position of the Clear Water River under the city wall was blocked by a fence made up of refined steel pillars.The gaps between these fine steel pillars allow water to pass through, but no people can pass through, in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking into the city from the bottom of the Bishui River.

Lord Green immediately yelled at the soldiers on the city wall: "Raise the fence!"

However, as soon as the Lord Green's words fell, everyone heard a piercing metallic sound of "squeak", which was the sound made by the metal being forcibly bent.

Then I heard the soldiers on the city wall who hadn't raised the isolation net shout loudly: "General Shirley has left the city!"

Lord Green and the others were shocked.Could it be that Shirley bent those steel pillars with her bare hands and got out?

Those fine steel pillars, but each one is as thick as a person's arms!Are the three strongest generals in the empire really so terrifying?

ps: Fourth update

123. Higher-end titles than shocking silence streams

Shirley did get out by bending the steel pillar.When Shirley was underwater, she saw that the path was blocked by steel pillars in front of her. The situation was urgent, and she had no time to wait for the steel pillars to rise, so she stretched out her hand and hugged a person The fine steel pillar broke out the distance that he could pass, and went out directly.

After leaving the city, Shirley went ashore immediately, and then saw a team of 20 riding horses rushing towards the Bishui River at full speed. The leader was Amen, and they were not far away from the Bishui River.

With a kick of Xue Li's legs, a big crater suddenly exploded in the soil under her feet, and Xue Li rushed there at full speed like an arrow leaving the string.

Shirley's speed was even faster than that of Amen and others on horseback.At this speed, Shirley will undoubtedly be able to stop Amen and the others before they reach the Bishui River.

However, when Shirley was still quite far away from Amen and the others, Amen saw Shirley with a sneer, turned around the pier without hesitation, and left at full speed.

The distance was too far, and it was difficult for Shirley to catch up, so she stopped and looked at Amen and the others frowning.

After a while, Lord Green and others came out from the city gate and came to Xueli. They saw Xueli standing beside the Bishui River, her whole body was wet, and her snow-white hair was dripping with water, turning into a beautiful woman. It looks like a drowned rat.

Lord Green and the others couldn't help being a little surprised when they saw that General Shirley, who was the strongest general in the empire and invincible in the world, turned into this drowned look.Of course, there is more admiration in my heart.

Lord Green said: "General Shirley, why don't you go back and change your clothes?"

Shirley shook her head, not caring that her whole body was drenched and said lightly: "It will dry up soon. This section of the river is 2 kilometers long. We must hold here for two weeks. There are enough water in the city." Before the water, the people of the Wolf Mercenary Group can't get close. This place is very important, I want to stay here permanently, and I need 100 defenders."

Bart looked at this section of the river, frowned worriedly and said, "This is a full two kilometers long, 100 people is too much."

Shirley said: "We can't take away any more people."

Lord Green thought for a moment, and said, "I'll remove another group of people from the security team."

Shirley shook her head. "The security team has not undergone war training and is not strong enough. They are simply unable to deal with the experienced wolf mercenary group. It will only get in the way when they come."

There are 200 security teams defending the south gate, that is because they are doing relatively easy defense.

However, if the security team were to face a powerful mercenary group like the wolf mercenary group head-on on flat ground, it would basically be letting them die.

Lord Green said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't draw too many people. I will only draw [-] people for you, and they are all elites of the security team. Although they have not received military training, their personal combat effectiveness is stronger than that of ordinary soldiers. Even close to the officer-level strength of the third level, I believe they can help you."

Shirley thought for a moment, then nodded. "good."

Then the Lord Green, Shirley, and Bart immediately discussed the arrangements for the defensive military.

For example, Xueli is currently stationed outside the city. If the wolf mercenary group attacks the city, how will Xueli return to defense in time.For example, how should Shirley's defense line be arranged on the Bishui River side to completely prevent the wolf mercenary group from ending up in the Bishui River.

After discussing all this, Lord Green said with a smile: "General Shirley, since you want to stay here permanently, why don't you go back to the city to rest."

Xue Li shook her head, and said calmly: "Now the wolf mercenary group may come over at any time, and I will stay here every day from now on. Arrange manpower for me as soon as possible, and the tents prepared for me are the same as ordinary soldiers."

Hearing Shirley's words, at this moment, Lord Green, Bart, and the other generals around couldn't help but feel sincere respect for Shirley.
