The Alchemist God

In the evening, the demons attacked the city again, leaving hundreds of armored demon corpses behind and fled. It seemed that Qianfeng didn't intend to forcefully attack the city, or he had other plans.

In the demon camp, a group of high-ranking generals looked sternly, waiting for a lecture.

Qian Feng covered a cup of tea with his palm, felt the steam lightly, and asked without raising his head, Is there any news about the two Highnesses?

not yet.

Lian Hao clasped his fists and said, His Royal Highness was taken away by the imperial naval warship. The warship was sailing on the Daojiang River. When our wingmen tracked down the warship, there was no one on board.

snort.

Qian Feng lightly landed his palm on the table and said, If the two Highnesses cannot be found, we will wait to lose our heads together. Also, when will the horseshoe crab army arrive.

Those water ghosts. Lian Qiao said with a look of disdain, The horseshoe crabs are born stupid and don't know how to communicate, so there is no news about them yet, but they have arrived in Lingdong province two months ago. The shallow sea area in the east, it stands to reason that if they haven't lost their way...they have now entered the Daojiang River Basin in Cangnan Province.

Small weapons sharpened and sharpened.

Commander, what are you doing with these?

Equipment for the horseshoe crab army. Qianfeng said lightly: Lin Muyu has started digging the Daojiang waters, don't think about it, he has given up the way of retreating by land when he learned that we built the city, so he plans to retreat from the Daojiang... Hehe, If he really wants to go by water, then he is looking for death. The horseshoe crab army can easily penetrate every empire. I want Lin Muyu to be ruined on the Daojiang River. You quickly arrange for the casting of weapons, and Contact the horseshoe crabs and ask the horseshoe crabs to hold their breath and not show their heads, otherwise Lin Muyu's eyes and ears will definitely be able to perceive them.

yes.

(Note: Limulus reads hou, underwater sword tail creature)

...

In the west city of Wugu City, with a sound of squeak, a huge iron gate on the ground slowly opened, with thick dust, and under the light of the torch, Lin Muyu calmly looked at Wei Chou, Situ Sen, and Situ. Xue and others stepped into the ground step by step for protection, while Zhao Ritian, the former 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 know about it except the governor, and we also discovered it occasionally recently.

The underground space is very spacious. In the distance, warships are stranded on the ground, and the water in the underground shipyard has long since dried up.

When did you find out? Lin Muyu asked.

Just this morning, a few children accidentally discovered this place while they were playing. The subordinates have been very careful in protecting this place, and they have not moved at all.

Yeah.

Lin Muyu looked at the footprints on the footboard of a warship, couldn't help but secretly smiled, and said, Come on, let's go on board and have a look.

When everyone boarded the first warship, they found that it was full of boxes. Wei Chou stepped forward and pried open the first box. The golden light inside was shining brightly, and it was full of gold coins.

Heaven... Situ Xue's beautiful eyes were about to burst into golden light.

Zhao Ritian said: These warships belong to Hu Tiening.

That's it...

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 order. Count how many gold coins there are in total here.

Wei Chou counted silently, and said, My lord, these warships are full of gold yin coins. Judging by the quantity... at least 20 million gold yin coins.

Situ Xue couldn't help laughing: Wow, I really got rich this time...

Lin Muyu said: These are the illegal gains of Hu Tiening's private mining of gold coins back then. We can't move, Wei Chou, and send people down to move all the gold coins off the boat. We want to use these boats to escape, and we can't take so many gold coins with us. .”

Ah, Commander, don't want it, don't you want the money. Situ Xue was a little unhappy.

Lin Muyu couldn't help but smiled and looked at her: General Xue, don't worry, just don't want it for the time being. After defeating the demons, this place will naturally still be our territory, and it won't be too late to come back and move.

Wei Chou took a deep breath and said, My lord, with all due respect, this Wugu City was originally a city ruled by Xiang Yu, which is equivalent to being the territory of Duke Lan, but Xiang Yu and Duke Lan's guards basically all fought against each other. Dead, if we leave, it is best to leave some troops to guard the Wugu City, so that after defeating the demons, the Wugu City will be ours, and the surname is Qin and not Tang.

That's exactly what I mean. Lin Muyu nodded: One of the thousand commanders of the Longdan Camp will be selected as the commander of the Wugu City, Zhao Ritian will be appointed as the deputy commander, and ten centurions will be selected to serve as the commander of the Wugu City. Commander, integrate all the city guards and security forces in Wugu City, this army will only obey orders from me and Her Majesty the Empress from now on.

Wei Chou nodded with a smile: This subordinate will do it right away.

...

After midnight, the underground dock was a bustling scene. The people in the Longdan Camp quickly carried boxes of Jinyin coins, and diverted water from the Daojiang River to launch all the nearly 50 warships in the dock. With Lin Muyu's order, he withdrew from the Jedi of Wugu City. After all, no one wanted to stay here and wait for death.

In the handsome tent, Situ Xue personally held a candle and followed behind Lin Muyu to illuminate the terrain on the sand table.

And Lin Muyu looked and looked, and finally his eyes fell on a basin plain between Wugu City and Lie City. He pressed his index finger deep on it and asked, Where is this?

A military staff officer of Wugu City clasped his fists and said, My lord, this basin is called Yehuoyuan.

What is the altitude?

1025 meters.

What is the altitude 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, How high are the dykes on both sides of the Daojiang River?

A hundred meters above the water surface, that is the dam ordered by King Guangming twenty years ago.

oh……

Lin Muyu couldn't help feeling agitated, looked up at the sky, and said, Father helped me again.

Commander, what do you mean? Situ Xue was bewildered.

Lin Muyu smiled, didn't say anything, and continued to ask: Counselor, how big is the area of ​​the Wildfire Field, compared to the water storage capacity of the Daojiang River?

The counselor frowned, and said: This... requires specific surveying and mapping, otherwise the subordinates dare not speak nonsense.

I don't have time to survey and map. Tell me what you think is the most correct ratio.

yes.

The counselor clasped his fists and said, Commander, the water area in the main basin of the Daojiang River is very wide and turbulent. Calculated according to the area of ​​the wildfire field, if you want to accumulate one meter of water in the wildfire field, you need at least three meters of water from the Daojiang River basin to irrigate half an area. It takes a long time, and according to the military strategy of the commander, if you want to implement it, you need to store at least five meters of water in the wild fire, so you need to water the Daojiang River Basin with a height of three meters and a fast flow for one and a half hours, and this is just an optimistic estimate. That's all.

I see.

Lin Muyu nodded approvingly: Thank you for your hard work. You can't tell anyone about this matter. Once you succeed, you will have made great contributions.

My villain, thank you for leading the cultivation.

Lin Muyu looked at the terrain on the sand table again. The counselor smiled slightly, pointed to a point on the Daojiang River Basin, and said: Here, it is only five miles away from Liecheng where Feng Jixing was stationed. There used to be a cutoff here. The dam on the river, called Liecheng Dam, was later pushed down, but a lot of adobes were still preserved, and with the mobilization of 100,000 troops and civilian labor, the dam could be built to store water within three days.

good.

Lin Muyu patted the table and said, Take a pen and paper, I want to write a letter to Brother Feng.

Situ Xue was puzzled and said, Yes.

Also, order to search for balsa wood in Wugu City. Every soldier of the Gendan Battalion must carry a piece of balsa wood. The standard size of the wood is enough to float a human body on the water.

yes.

...

In the early morning of the next day, the letter bird Xiaobai flapped its wings and landed on the windowsill of a small courtyard in Liecheng, chirping a few times.

A female employee of the Elixir Department gently picked up Xiaobai, knocked on the door and said, Deacon, Xinniao is here.

real.

Chu Yao stood up and took the letter bird from the female staff member with excitement on her face. Lin Muyu's handwriting was clearly visible on it, although the letter was for Feng Jixing.

Go, follow me to meet Commander Feng.

yes.

Putting on the cloak of the Chief Deacon of the Spiritual Medicine Department, he galloped straight to the south of Lie City.

In the wounded barracks, many soldiers who were injured in the battle with the demons were recuperating here, and Feng Jixing inspected and trained in the shooting range, when Chu Yao came, Feng Jixing immediately turned around and said: Ah Yao, what's wrong.

Ah Yu has sent a letter.

Show me quickly.

Um.

After Feng Jixing unfolded the letter paper and read each word carefully, his face couldn't help showing a look of excitement.

What did Ah Yu say, Commander Feng.

Hahaha... Feng Jixing laughed, his eyes full of fighting intent, and said, Ah Yu is probably the only one in this world who can come up with such a crazy strategy...Come here, immediately collect the cloth bags and sacks in the whole city, Take out all the cloth and silk and make it into sandbags, fill it with sand and soil for use, use all the manpower we can, and do it immediately, this is the highest order of Liecheng and even the empire.

Yes, Commander.

Feng Jixing looked in the direction of Wugu City in the south, and said, I hope this time it will be successful, as long as it succeeds... Ah Yu's achievements will be extraordinary.

What is it... Chu Yao asked with some displeasure.

Feng Jixing glanced at her dotingly, and said with a smile, I can't tell you military secrets. When we succeed, Ayao will naturally understand.

Chu Yao is Chu Huaimian's younger sister, and Feng Jixing is Chu Huaimin's close friend. Perhaps invisibly, Feng Jixing has already treated Chu Yao as his own sister.
