Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"what happened?"

Li Wei looked at the time on the table. It was already past 4 p.m. She slept comfortably and didn't even hear gunshots during this period.

After a while, Li Wei asked the soldiers to bring food, and soon Rocco and several officers came over.

"It's quite quiet today."

Li Wei muttered, and Rocco smiled.

"Yes, the enemy seems to have no desire to attack anymore."

Levi immediately put down the cup in his hand and made a loud bang.

"The situation is not good."

Rocco and several officers were confused, and Li Wei asked.

"Aren't the enemies on the other side of the northern city wall planning to attack?"

Rocco laughed.

"They are probably afraid that we will plant explosives underneath, so they don't dare to attack."

Li Wei sneered, and Rocco shut up. They all saw that Li Wei was in a bad mood.

"What's wrong?"

Li Wei scratched his head and said.

"If they don't attack they're going to be in trouble."

Rocco and several officers were a little confused, Li Wei said.

"Why do you think it would be best if I didn't blow up the northern city wall so that they can't get through? Why bother setting up defenses?"

Li Wei asked, and several people looked around blankly, not knowing why at all.

"Think about it with your brains, it will be easy to figure it out."

After Li Wei finished speaking, she put down her fork, then took a sip of beer and lit a cigarette. She leaned back comfortably. Rocco discussed with several officers. After watching them discuss for a long time, they still couldn't find the answer. Li Wei said.

"Bring me a map of the city."

After a while, someone brought a map and after laying it out on the table, Rocco asked.

"Is it to lure them in and then use the narrow residential area to attack?"

Li Wei shook his head and said with a smile.

"Keep thinking."

However, the people present still didn't quite understand, Li Wei said at this time.

"Bring all the officers here."

After a while, Li Wei changed to a large room, and a bunch of officers were discussing. Li Wei didn't know why he didn't want to blow up the north wall at first, but in just a few hours, Li Wei knew, Why blow up the city wall?

"I saw the only way to victory from the beginning."

Li Wei murmured softly, exhaled the smoke, and laughed helplessly. She still doesn't know why she has so many strange thoughts in her mind, but with this idea, as long as the enemy attacks from the north wall, It will definitely fail.

The discussion became heated, and Rocco summed it up and said.

"Should we lure the enemy deep into the area, and then we move to other areas, such as the Southern District?"

Li Wei shook her head again, stood up and said.

"We're not going anywhere."

Li Wei pointed to the middle of the West District and said.

"Do you still remember why I asked you to gather supplies here?"

A bunch of officers didn't understand, Rocco said.

"Is it because it's more convenient? Even if the enemy rushes in, we can continue to retreat to the middle for defense?"

Li Wei laughed out loud. At this time, some of the officers' faces became ugly. Some even said that Li Wei was being mysterious.

"Shut up, everyone."

Li Wei glanced around everyone. Many people were a little angry for a while, and Rocco immediately shouted.

"Everyone, please stop talking and listen to her."

Li Wei walked over slowly and then said.

"If you want to win, just listen to me, or if you want to survive."

Rocco hummed, and the officers fell silent. Li Wei pointed at the middle part of the West District, and then moved his finger upwards, directly out of the city's outskirts. A lot of people became confused.

"What's the highest place in the West End?"

A bunch of people looked towards the middle, Rocco said.

"The middle is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack because the terrain is higher than other places and there are some facilities and warehouses below. In the past, because this was a mountain, some houses and basements were built along the mountain."

Li Wei nodded and said.

“So in this city, where is the largest water consumption?”

Rockton felt something, and some officers also realized something. Li Wei scratched his head and said.

"You guys are really stupid. If you want to survive, no matter what method you use, we have to use it."

At this time someone exclaimed.

"Are we going to blow up the water storage pipeline under the city wall?"

Li Wei laughed and nodded, but the smile on her face fleetingly disappeared, and she said seriously.

"Correct! In order to win, we must do whatever it takes, use everything available to us, and annihilate the enemy. This is what we should do."

Li Wei knocked on the water storage pipe connected to the amber outside at the edge of the west area. Once it exploded, the water flow would probably sweep across the entire west area quickly. The enemies who rushed in would be trapped and died in the west area, and the water flow would bring hazards, and the weapons in their hands will get wet and become unusable.

Many people showed happy expressions, Li Wei said.

"If the enemy attacks, if we resist for a while and give the enemy hope, they will definitely come from the city wall, and we only need to retreat to the middle and stick to it. They will only advance gradually, and then the water storage channel will be destroyed. If it explodes, this place will be a dead end for those who come down from the city wall.”

Li Wei said and led the people to the window. Although the outside of the city wall could not be seen from here, Li Wei continued.

"Although I only heard about that lake on the road, when we crossed the river, the water flow was very fast, so I can be sure that the amount of water was very large."

Many people nodded. Once a firearm gets wet, there is a high probability that something will go wrong.

"Alright, tell me to go down and find a few trustworthy people to place enough explosives near the water reservoir. I'm going to blow up a big enough hole to let the water flow out quickly."

Rocco nodded in surprise and couldn't help but hold Li Wei's hand.

"Thank you very much."

Many officers also showed expressions of joy. Such a move was something they had never considered. There was a relatively spacious aqueduct in Amber, which was much higher than here.

Once the water storage channel under the city wall is blown up, turbulent water will flow out endlessly, and it will only be a matter of time before the Western District is flooded.

"But they can retreat to other areas?"

Rocco said.

"Do you think they retreat faster or the water flows faster? The area of ​​the lake is larger than this city. It only takes a day for the city to be submerged, and they have no time to take away food and ammunition. There is even no place to stay. And we can wait for them to leave of their own accord and slowly evacuate with the supplies."

Many people clapped their hands, and Li Wei waved her hands and continued.

"Put in all the explosives you can. The bigger the hole, the better."

Rocco immediately nodded, and then several officers were responsible for leading the soldiers there. There was a hiding place next to the water reservoir, but who would blow it up was a problem, because once it was blown up, it would be over.

"You can do the same thing. If no one wants to go, I will go."

After Li Wei finished speaking, she put out the cigarette butt in her hand. Everyone present looked at Li Wei in shock.

"We must give the enemy the illusion that they can easily surround us by attacking from both sides, and then they will move weapons, ammunition and some supplies over."

"It's better to let others go, just in case."

Li Wei shook her head.

"It's me who handles such an important matter. All you need to do is don't deploy any troops at the opening in the middle. It only takes a few minutes for us to run over."

Rocco was still worried, but Li Wei laughed, and then led a group of people over. Kuai and they arrived at the foot of a city wall, where the sound of flowing water could be heard below.

"It's a pity that we don't have enough poison, otherwise it would be easiest to use poison."

Many people couldn't help but swallowed. A group of officers called the demolition crews, and then began to investigate. They quickly found some points. Li Wei even went to the room above to see the underground water storage channel in person. The water flow is very slow because of the heavy gate obstruction.

It is seven or eight meters above the ground, and the water flows down through the water storage channel and enters the city's water supply channel.

"This is far away from the city wall, so don't worry about the rebels coming. They will usually advance along the center, and you just need to retreat while fighting. When the enemy is completely entrenched and surrounding you, we will start blasting them. Water storage channel.”

As Li Wei said, a large amount of explosives had been brought over. Some of the soldiers who had followed Li Wei in the sneak attack came over. Li Wei only left a dozen people, who could detonate the explosives quickly.

"If they don't attack, we'll just have to wait."

Li Wei laughed, and then planned to live nearby. She once again strictly ordered that if the enemy did not launch a collective attack, they must not expose the peripheral firepower points, and let the officers plan the route into the central highland.

Rocco said after seeing that the explosives were almost planted.

"You'd better go back to the front line, in case something else happens."

Li Wei laughed.

"If there is a situation, it can only be tonight. The enemy may sneak attack and come from the city wall, so that the people guarding above will keep an eye on it. We must fight back strongly."

Time passed by, the sky became dark, and it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.

Eddie called some officers and began to assign tasks to them, because the regular army had not made any movements yet. This seemed right to Eddie, and they wanted to stick to the residential areas.

"We can't delay for too long. There are only a few hundred defenders on their wall. We must break through tonight."

The officers nodded one after another. Sure enough, many people could see that once they broke through the city wall, they could let a large number of soldiers pass by the city wall and attack from the front and back. These regular troops could only retreat to the small highland building in the middle.

Because a lot of ammunition was destroyed by a sneak attack last night, many of their artillery shells are already in short supply. If the bombing continues, if the enemy's effective forces cannot be eliminated, there will be endless street fighting. They can't afford to use so many people. of.

"So the best option is to concentrate the enemies here."

Eddie pointed to the center of the west area on the map. This high ground was the enemy's grave. Once they gathered on the grave, Eddie and the others could even hoist the cannon to the roof of the building and fire directly.

"Go ahead and tell them to capture it tonight. Once captured, we will start attacking from the outside. Try to compress their defense as much as possible."

After Eddie finished speaking, the officers moved one after another. He looked at the sky outside with a worried look, and then laughed helplessly. Once they captured that section of the city wall, they would launch a general attack early tomorrow morning and directly kill them. Eaten by the enemy.

Take it at night when the visibility is not good, and then start to advance gradually. When the visibility is good tomorrow morning, you can start to gradually let the troops in.

Once a siege is formed, the troops with only more than 3,000 people will be lambs to be slaughtered.

10 at night.

Li Wei woke up with a burst of explosions, and Rocco shouted excitedly at the side.

"It's exactly what you said, they attacked."

Li Wei smiled.

"Let the troops on the city wall resist as much as possible and withdraw when the time is right."

Li Wei laughed, and sure enough, soon with the sound of gunfire, the enemy began to advance in large numbers from the north of the city wall, and flickering firelights could be seen constantly. On the west side of the city wall, soldiers began to fight back.

After the fighting lasted for half an hour, a soldier came running over.

"We're low on ammunition."

Li Wei smiled.

"Retreat."

At this time, accompanied by bursts of shouts, the troops on the city wall soon withdrew. Although some people were injured, it was only a very small number, and there were still some wounded. Rocco immediately ordered the reserve team to start setting up defenses near the stairs.

Sure enough, the enemy did not come down after occupying the city wall. Instead, they entered some rooms under the city wall and continued to hold on. From the shaking light and shadow, it could be seen that a large number of enemies were moving on the north wall, and they were gathering in a swarm.

"We've won. Let's go back and make arrangements. After they launch the attack tomorrow, they will gradually fight back and retreat. If there is a chance to kill, open fire. If there is no chance, run away."

Rocco nodded and held Li Wei's hand again.

"You have to be careful."

Li Wei smiled and nodded.

"It's not a big deal, just let us out of the uninhabited path and let us go up."

Roko nodded and led the people away. Soon Li Wei led the people to the small house beside the city wall. Although some gunshots were heard, it was impossible for the enemy to come down in such a dark night.

"Everyone, please rest peacefully. We will talk again tomorrow morning, at least until our troops have withdrawn to the top of the mountain."

Although more than a dozen soldiers were scared, they were excited inside at this time. Li Wei laughed and lit a cigarette. She did not expect that everything would succeed so easily.

"Unfortunately, the next step is the general."

Li Wei was in a good mood. After all, she could leave at noon tomorrow, but the battle would be over before noon, and the enemy was not aware of the potential threat of water.

Soon the gunfire stopped, and the enemy was still moving on the city wall. Li Wei yawned and soon fell asleep. (End of chapter)
