Chai Lingde looked at the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance's army below. He couldn't understand why the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance's army would go to the bottom of the cliff. From the looks of it, there's already an army camp there. Could it be that they want to build a ladder there? And then use that ladder to attack the South Hua Gate? How could this be possible?
Chai Lingde was the general of the South Hua Gate's garrison. He was very confident in the South Hua Gate. Moreover, he had been guarding the South Hua Gate for quite some time. Because of this, his prestige in the South Hua Gate was very high.
Although Tang Zhong was in command during the last battle, Chai Lingde wasn't satisfied with Tang Zhong's command. One must know that Tang Zhong's command was very risky. In Chai Lingde's opinion, Tang Zhong deliberately allowed the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance's army to climb up the city walls. Then he would push them down in order to cause more casualties to the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance's army. But if Chai Lingde was the one defending the city, he wouldn't do this. Letting the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance's army climb up the city walls was very dangerous. If he didn't control it well, then the enemy might break through the city walls.
But Tang Zhong's command didn't let the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance's army gain any advantage. Therefore, Chai Lingde couldn't say anything. But now that he was in charge of the South Hua Gate City, he naturally wouldn't do what Tang Zhong did. He was now fully prepared. As long as Zhao Hai and the others attack, Chai Lingde was sure that he wouldn't let Zhao Hai and the others reach the city walls.
However, Zhao Hai's current situation made Chai Lingde somewhat puzzled. The position of the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance's army was very puzzling. Chai Lingde knew about the cliff. It was almost impossible to enter the city from that cliff. This was because the cliff wasn't straight up. The higher you go, the more inclined it was. It looked like a slope with a special angle. In fact, the cliff was completely different. The slope was slanted outwards.
Naturally, one could also use Sky Dance Experts to attack. However, the city walls facing the cliff had already been prepared. Not only were there ballistas, but there were also other arrangements. If one wanted to attack the South Hua Gate City from there, then only death would await them. Even Sky Dance Experts would be the same.
Of course, this also created a barrier that made it difficult for the people of South Flower Gate City to attack the bottom of the cliff.
It was precisely because of this that Chai Lingde felt very strange. He didn't understand why the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance occupied the area below the cliff. What were they trying to do?
Since he couldn't figure it out, he could only give up. However, he also believed that the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance wouldn't do something useless. They must be plotting something. However, Zhao Hai decided to deal with the situation by remaining unchanged. He just made the soldiers facing the cliff increase their vigilance. As for what Zhao Hai was doing, Zhao Hai didn't care. He was afraid that this was Zhao Hai's plot. Zhao Hai deliberately sent his army to the ground to make them think that he was plotting something. This way, they would be able to focus their attention there. Then they would be able to launch a surprise attack from the front and take the South Hua Gate City in one fell swoop.
Chai Lingde always believed that defending the front was the right thing to do. There was nothing else to worry about. Because of this, he made the people on the other side of the wall increase their vigilance.
At this time, Zhao Hai was actually in the barracks below the cliff. The barracks didn't look very big, it could only house about a thousand people. In fact, there weren't many people inside. Moreover, they were currently excavating the cliff.
The cave had already reached a certain size. It looked very big, about five meters high and ten meters wide. It could allow two or three carriages to travel side by side.
The reason why the cave was excavated so quickly was thanks to the lightning formation. Using the lightning formation to excavate the cave was naturally very fast. Naturally, the ones using the lightning formation this time weren't Void Realm experts, but ordinary soldiers. Although ordinary soldiers couldn't use the formation for a long time, one shouldn't forget that they had a lot of people. Because of this, they could take turns using the formation. Once one person's energy was exhausted, they could immediately rest while the others took over. This way, the excavation speed of the cave would naturally be faster.
The reason why Zhao Hai stayed in the barracks was because excavating the cave wasn't that simple. If you don't make a good support inside, then the cave might collapse, which could lead to death.
Under Zhao Hai's command and the lightning formation, the speed of the cave entering the palace was very fast. But even so, it would still take a few days for the cave to reach the bottom of South Hua Gate City. Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't let the people in South Hua Gate City be idle. Otherwise, the people in South Hua Gate City would have time to watch them. For Zhao Hai, this wasn't a good thing.
Because of this, while Zhao Hai and the others were digging the cave, the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance's army also began to move. Every day, they would drill outside the barracks and make siege weapons. Moreover, they would also make several feints. This made the people in South Hua Gate City nervous. Naturally, they wouldn't have time to pay attention to Zhao Hai and the others.
Zhao Hai and the others' excavation work went very smoothly. After five days, they had already reached the bottom of South Hua Gate City. But at this time, Zhao Hai became even more careful. This was because he knew that this was the key to finding the water veins. He needed to determine the direction of the water veins based on the surrounding soil. He needed to find the two water veins in one fell swoop and destroy them as soon as possible. This way, South Hua Gate City would be finished.
Finding the water veins wasn't easy. Fortunately, Zhao Hai's spiritual force was much stronger than the others. Moreover, he was also proficient in various formations. Therefore, finding the water veins wasn't very difficult for him.
Zhao Hai led everyone into the cave. The inside of the cave was bigger than the outside. However, there were some supporting pillars in some places, so there was no need to worry about the cave collapsing.
After Zhao Hai entered the cave, he carefully looked around. Then he slowly walked to the innermost part of the cave. He reached out his hand and touched the walls. Then he used his spiritual force to explore the walls. At the same time, he felt the changes in the surrounding water elements.
Before long, Zhao Hai felt that there were two places where the water elements were particularly active. He guessed that these were the two water veins. Zhao Hai withdrew his hand and then turned to the people around him and said, "Dig from here and here. Make sure to pay attention to your safety. If you find that the soil is wet, then immediately stop. Go."
Everyone nodded. Then they immediately commanded the soldiers to dig in those two directions. After digging for more than ten meters, they discovered that the soil was very wet. They even managed to squeeze out water from the soil. They immediately stopped and reported this to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at those two places and then used his spiritual force to feel it. Then he nodded and said, "Alright, let's stop here for today. Everyone, go back to the camp and rest." Although everyone didn't understand what Zhao Hai meant, they still followed Zhao Hai out of the cave and returned to the camp.
After arriving at the camp, Zhao Hai had everyone rest. He also rested for a while. It wasn't until night time that Zhao Hai had everyone wake up. Then they ordered some things before returning to the cave.
The cave was now lit with torches, making it very bright. Zhao Hai went to one of the water veins and discovered that a lot of water was seeping out. It seems like there was water here.
Zhao Hai turned to the people around him and said, "Dig a trench on the ground here. Try to dig as deep as possible, all the way to the outside of the cave. Go." Although everyone didn't understand what Zhao Hai meant, they still immediately started digging. The more people there were, the more strength there was. And since they were already used to doing this kind of work, they were able to do it very quickly.
Zhao Hai went to the barracks outside and had the people inside tidy up everything. Then they dismantled the barracks and returned to the main camp.
Naturally, everyone didn't ask any questions and immediately got to work. Before long, they had completely dismantled the barracks. Then they returned to the main camp.
Their movements naturally attracted the attention of the garrison in Nanhua Gate City. However, when the garrison saw that they had returned to the main camp, they were too lazy to care about them. In the eyes of the garrison, Zhao Hai and the others might have wanted to climb up the cliff. But in the end, they couldn't do it, so they directly retreated. They were still laughing at Zhao Hai and the others in their hearts.
Zhao Hai didn't care about these things. He commanded the soldiers to dig a trench while observing the situation of the two water veins. From time to time, he would also go outside the barracks to take a look.
When the barracks were built, Zhao Hai had people dig a trench inside the barracks. This trench could be used as a defensive trench. But actually, this trench had other uses.
Under Zhao Hai's command, the trench was quickly dug and connected to the trench outside the barracks. At this time, the sky was already bright.
Zhao Hai directly led the people back to the main camp to rest. After resting for a day, when the sky turned dark, Zhao Hai led the Sky Dance Experts into the cave. Then he went to a water vein and carefully sensed it. He knew that this water vein was the underground river, the Nanhua Gate's water vein. Zhao Hai felt the position and then punched. A huge amount of energy was transmitted from his fist to the wall. The people who came with Zhao Hai felt the cave shake. Then Zhao Hai retreated to the side and said, "Everyone, pay attention. Don't get splashed by the water."
Everyone nodded. They looked at the place where Zhao Hai punched and saw more and more water seeping out. At the same time, the soil there seemed to be completely soft, unable to block the water. Then more and more water flowed out, and more and more soil was flushed out. In the end, the place seemed to have turned into a small spring. Water was constantly gushing out, and the flow rate was getting bigger and bigger. In the end, the trench was completely filled with water.
Zhao Hai looked at this result with satisfaction. Then he led the people to the other side of the cave. When they arrived at the cave, Zhao Hai could feel a very rich water element. Moreover, water was seeping out of the walls of the cave.
When Zhao Hai saw this, he couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "Alright, you guys can go out. Leave this place to me." The group nodded and flew out of the cave. Then they looked at Zhao Hai in confusion.
Zhao Hai stopped ten meters away from the wall. Then he moved his hand and a white light hit the wall. After that, Zhao Hai's figure moved and directly rushed out of the cave.
Just as Zhao Hai flew out of the cave, he saw the wall that was hit by the white light slowly crack. Then with a bang, a water arrow flew out along with sand and sand. It flew for ten meters and almost hit Zhao Hai and the others. This made the people beside Zhao Hai dumbfounded. They didn't think that there would be such a big movement in the cave.
Zhao Hai nodded with satisfaction. Then he said, "Alright, let's go back. I believe that in a few days, South Flower Gate City will run out of water. Let's go." The group nodded and then followed Zhao Hai back to the camp.
Upon arriving at the camp, Zhao Hai immediately called Liu Hong to the tent. At the same time, he also called the Generals of the other cities. After everyone arrived, Zhao Hai turned to Liu Hong and said, "Liu Hong, your scouting team will have to work hard these days. Pay attention to the changes in South Flower Gate City. You might not be able to see the well, but you should be able to see the lake. See if there are any changes in the water level of the lake. Also, pay attention to the changes in the city." Liu Hong nodded and then directly walked out.
Zhao Hai looked at the others in the tent and said, "In a few days, South Flower Gate will run out of water. But starting tomorrow, send people to dig a drainage ditch on the side of the road where we attack. Don't let the water flow into our path and block our advance. Alright, go and prepare. As long as we can confirm that there is no water in South Flower Gate, we can directly attack." Everyone nodded and then turned around to leave.
They didn't doubt Zhao Hai because they believed in Zhao Hai. When Zhao Hai was in battle, he would never joke about this kind of thing. Therefore, they just needed to go back and wait for the news.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and couldn't help but smile. Today, he didn't just destroy the two water veins, he also changed their course. Zhao Hai was sure that in less than three days, South Flower Gate City would run out of water. At that time, the city would be in chaos. However, he wasn't prepared to attack at that time. He was prepared to wait. People can live for seven days if they don't have water. But if they don't drink for seven days, then they would certainly die. Because of this, Zhao Hai was prepared to wait until the other party couldn't take it anymore. Then he would retreat or go out of the city to fight. If the other party didn't do so, then they would certainly die. Because of this, Zhao Hai wasn't in a hurry.
