Living In Another World With A Farm

Chapter 5455: Chapter 799-dead end (1)

Chai lingde was eating. He didn’t sleep well last night because there were sounds coming from Zhao Hai’s camp, which made him worried.

However, nothing happened until this morning, so Chai lingde was relieved. However, he was a little sleepy now and was going to have a good sleep after eating. He didn’t know what Zhao Hai and the others were thinking, but he still thought that they wouldn’t attack so soon.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside his room, ” ”Reporting,”

Chai lingde knew it was his Adjutant, Shangguan Cheng, the moment he heard the voice. He said in a deep voice, ” ”Come in.” Shangguan Cheng pushed the door open and walked in. Shangguan Cheng looked thin and weak, like a weak scholar, not a general. However, Chai lingde was very clear that Shangguan Cheng was very strong, and might not lose to him. Most importantly, Shangguan Cheng was very meticulous and was his best assistant. The two of them had been working together very happily these days.

Chai lingde looked at Shangguan Cheng and smiled, ” ”Shangguan, you don’t have to be so polite with me. Why did you shout” report ”before entering the door? seriously, have you had breakfast? Let’s eat together?”

Shangguan Cheng’s face was grave. &Quot; general, something big has happened. Those guys in the kitchen just told me that the well in our city has suddenly run out of water. The water level in the lake has also dropped very badly. With the current water level in the lake, I’m afraid it won’t last long. &Quot;

Hearing Shangguan Cheng’s words, Chai lingde could not help but give an order. Then, his expression changed,”What’s the matter? This year’s weather wasn’t dry, so why was there no water? And even when there’s a drought, there’s still water in the well. What’s going on?”

Shangguan Cheng said in a deep voice, ” &Quot; I don’t know yet, but I suspect it has something to do with Zhao Hai. Although we haven’t fought with Zhao Hai directly, we know Tang Zhong. Tang Zhong is good at commanding, but Zhao Hai defeated him as soon as he showed up. He is definitely not a simple person. We ran out of water all the time, but we ran out of water after Zhao Hai’s arrival. Isn’t that strange? ”

Hearing Shangguan Cheng’s words, Chai lingde was stunned and said in a deep voice, ” ”Can you be sure?”

&Quot; I’m not sure yet, ” Shangguan Cheng said in a deep voice. &Quot; but isn’t it strange that the water level in the lake has dropped and the well suddenly has no water? ” Also, general, the water level in the lake is still dropping. I’m afraid we won’t have any more water in two days. What should we do?”

Chai lingde didn’t have the mood to eat anymore and immediately said, ” ”Quick, give the order. Everyone, go to the lake to get water. Store as much water as you can, the more the better. Hurry!”

Shangguan Cheng responded, turned around and ran out to give the order. Then, all the soldiers in the city ran out to the lakeside to get water.

Liu Hong, who was floating in the air, saw everything. Although it was daytime, he had activated the camouflage array, so no one could see him from below. As long as he didn’t move too fast or too big, no one would notice him.

Liu Hong was excited when he saw that everyone in the city had gone to the lakeside to get water. However, he still flew slowly toward the camp. After a while, he returned to the camp and went straight to Zhao Hai’s tent.

There were no guards outside Zhao Hai’s tent, but Liu Hong did not enter the tent directly. Instead, he said in a deep voice, ” ”Reporting,”

Zhao Hai’s voice came from the tent, ” ”Come in,” Liu Hong then walked into the tent. He saw Zhao Hai flipping through a book in his hand. The book looked like it was made of gold and was very beautiful. There was also a Golden Pen on the table, which was also very beautiful.

Liu Hong didn’t know what these two items were, but he wasn’t curious. He bowed to Zhao Hai and said, ” &Quot; Alliance master, the soldiers in nanhuamen city just went to the lake in the city to get water. They seem to be in a hurry. &Quot;

Zhao Hai put down the Golden Book in his hand and smiled, ” ”It’s already effective? ”It seems that it’s faster than I thought, and the effect might even be better. Continue monitoring them. Even if they are asked to store water, how much can they store? without a water source, even if they have a lot of water, they will use it up one day. Besides, the water supply for the 100000 troops, hahaha, I want to see how much water they can store. Go, just monitor them.” &Quot; yes, ” Liu Hong replied, then turned around and left the tent.

Zhao Hai stood up in the tent and slowly walked to the plate of sand. He glanced at Nanhua Gate City, smiled, and muttered,”You can see the results so quickly. Hehe, not bad.”

Compared to Zhao Hai’s relaxed mood, Chai lingde’s mood was extremely heavy. He stood by the lake and looked at the decreasing amount of water. When he saw the soldiers still drawing water, Chai lingde knew that Nanhua Gate City was really going to be finished.

Although the soldiers were desperately fetching water and filling up all the places in the city with water, it was simply a drop in the bucket in Chai lingde’s eyes. It was completely useless. One should know that there were 100000 soldiers in the city. How much water did 100000 people need to drink in a day? in addition, there were some livestock in the city. The livestock’s water consumption would be even greater. Under such circumstances, how long could the water they fetched last? I’m afraid I can’t even last two days.

What if there’s no water? If the soldiers were thirsty for a day or two and Zhao Hai’s group attacked, what would they do? Chai lingde didn’t even dare to imagine.

Shangguan Cheng stood beside Chai lingde and looked at him, ” ”General, what do we do now?”

Chai lingde forced a smile and said, ” let’s first find out whether the water supply in the city was cut off by Zhao Hai. Then, we’ll immediately send out all the Wukong level Masters in the city to see if there’s any movement in Zhao Hai’s camp. We’ll mainly pay attention to the cliff. Zhao Hai and the others have been there for a long time. Maybe it was at that time that they did it. Let’s go quickly. &Quot;

Shangguan Cheng responded, turned around and left. After a while, the dancing sky level experts in the city gathered together, then flew directly out of the city. However, they all flew back not long after they left the city.

Then, those Wukong-level experts all landed in front of Chai lingde with unsightly expressions. When Chai lingde saw their expressions, he asked in confusion,”What’s wrong with you guys? What happened?”

The leader of the Wukong-level Masters smiled bitterly and said, ” ”General, there’s no need to investigate anymore. It’s confirmed that there’s no water in our city. It’s indeed Zhao haiwu’s. It’s under the cliff, and Zhao Hai dug a big hole there. Water is flowing out from the hole, and the flow is very fast. It seems that Zhao Hai took our water from there.”

Chai lingde’s expression changed when he heard the words of the Wukong-level expert. He immediately said,”Then, can you get our water back?”

The Wukong-level expert shook his head and said, ” ”General, that’s impossible. The reason we have this Lake is because there’s a spring under it. Now that the spring has been destroyed, it’s possible for us to get water out of the spring. Without this Lake, even if we get water from the well, it won’t be able to support the Army. Also, general, do you think Zhao Hai will let us restore the waterway easily?”

Chai lingde was stunned for a moment, then he let out a long breath, ” ”Alright, you may leave.” The Wukong-level Masters responded and left.

After they left, Chai lingde led Shangguan Cheng to his room. As soon as he entered the room, Chai lingde kicked a chair into pieces and shouted, ” ”Bastard! Zhao Hai is a bastard! How could he come up with such a devious technique? damn it! He’s too despicable! He’s shameless!”

Shangguan Cheng didn’t speak. He felt very aggrieved. They were also veterans in the battle on the sand. They had participated in hundreds of battles, big and small, but none of them had been like this. They had not even fought the enemy and were forced to a dead end. They had to go out of the city to fight the enemy to the death or retreat. There was no other way. It was impossible to defend Nanhua Gate City, because the final result of defending here was to drink themselves to death.

After a long while, Chai lingde finally calmed down. He took a deep breath and turned to Shangguan Cheng,”Shangguan, immediately send a letter to the city Lord and tell him about our situation here. I’m afraid we can’t hold the Nanhua gate any longer. If the city Lord agrees, we’ll immediately gather our troops and go out to fight Zhao Hai. Even if we can’t repel their Army, we can at least delay them here. If we can build a camp under the city, that would be great.”

Hearing Chai lingde’s words, Shangguan Cheng immediately understood what he meant. There was no water in the city. If their Army left the city and set up camp at the foot of the mountain, they could get water from the cave there. If they could really set up camp at the foot of the mountain, they might be able to delay Zhao Hai and the others here.

However, Shangguan Cheng was also very clear that it would be very difficult. If they wanted to set up camp at the foot of the mountain, they had to ask for Zhao Hai’s permission first. Whether it was in terms of military strength or the number of experts in the Army, they could not compare to Zhao Hai’s Army. Under such circumstances, they could still block Zhao Hai’s Army with Nanhua Gate City. If they wanted to set up camp at the foot of the mountain, it would be almost impossible to hold back Zhao Hai’s Army. Zhao Hai was not an idiot. How could he let them set up camp there?

However, Shangguan Cheng didn’t voice out his thoughts. He still went to send the letter. This matter was no longer up to them to decide. It concerned the 100000 soldiers. If they kept defending the city, even if all 100000 soldiers died, the city Lord wouldn’t say anything. But now, they were taking the initiative. Under such circumstances, would the city Lord agree? Zhao Hai’s Army had more than 600000 soldiers. 100000 against 600000, could they win? The most important thing was that Shangguan Cheng had a certain understanding of the number of troops in Nanhua city-state. Nanhua city-state’s Army was not a lot. They were just a small city-state, and the total number of troops was only about 300000. When Tang Zhong went to war, they sent 30000 troops to follow him, but they never returned. If this 100000 troops were lost here, how could Nanhua city-state fight Zhao Hai?
