Chapter 1492: Desperate Franks

"The military genius brought Zizhi Tongjian to a different world ()" Find the latest chapter!

The senior civil servants and generals in Bailu City moved quickly.

After receiving the summons, he quickly rushed to the palace and started the meeting.

It's a pity...it's as if this meeting didn't happen.

Because the discussion lasted from 15:00 to dusk, no one put forward any constructive opinions on the issue of "how to solve the water problem in Bellu City".

However, this cannot be blamed on the lack of ability of these important civil and military ministers in Bailu City.

Because - this problem is almost unsolvable.

If the Britannia Army and the Hiran Army really did something to the Steyr Lake outside the city, causing the wells in Beloo City to be unable to draw water, then the only and most effective way is to open the city gate. , sent troops to defeat the coalition of Britannia Army and Hiram Army outside the city.

But this method is obviously impossible...

After Rudolf and Erich were defeated by El, they brought back 60,000 defeated soldiers.

Adding these 60,000 defeated defeated troops to the original 10,000 troops in Bailu City, the current total strength of the defenders in Bailu City is 70,000.

Rudolf and Erich led 80,000 troops in a decisive battle with 80,000 Hiran troops led by El, but failed to win.

And now it is necessary to use 70,000 people to challenge the 380,000 troops of the Britannia Army and the Hiran Army...

Anyone who can do arithmetic should be able to calculate that the Frank army's chance of winning is infinitely close to 0.

Since there is no way to leave the city, the only thing left for everyone in Belu City to do is to wait for death...

If there is no way out of the city, there is nothing we can do.

Although water consumption can be saved by centrally managing all water in the city.

However, if we do not increase revenue but only reduce expenditure, it will only be a matter of time before the water resources in the city are exhausted.

Although the monarchs and ministers headed by Emperor Shade were extremely anxious, the water resources in the city were still ruthlessly disappearing bit by bit...

During their meeting, they received another news - there were four more wells in the city that were unable to draw water...

…

…

Frankish Empire, outside the city of Bellew, the Britannia army camp, the main camp of the camp.

"Sir." Deng Jiaer reported to Su Chenghui who was sitting behind the table, "Kesuo said - Lake Steyr is about to be drained, and there should be a large number of wells in Belu City that are no longer able to pump water. ”

"In a few days, every well in Bailu City will be obsolete."

"Well, good." Su Cheng smiled with satisfaction and nodded, "Not bad...the next step...is to slowly wait until the water source in Bailu City is cut off and the defenders and civilians in the city collapse..."

"Sir, Keso asked you if you want to take a look at the current situation of Lake Steyr. It's very spectacular."

"No need." Su Cheng smiled helplessly, "I just saw it a few days ago. All the water in the originally vast lake was drained, leaving only a big pit there... It is indeed quite spectacular..."

…

…

Frankish Empire, Bailu, Royal Palace, Shade's Room——

"His Majesty……"

Erwin suppressed his anger and growled at Shade in front of him.

"Please wake up! It's impossible to solve our city's water problem by reading books!"

At this time, Shade was sitting at the table, constantly turning the pages of the book in his hand.

And the book he was reading was the strange book without a cover.

Regarding Erwin's rebuke, Shade said impatiently:

"What do you know! Did I tell you? There are quite a lot of very interesting stories recorded in this set of books!"

“There’s quite a bit of knowledge in these stories!”

"This set of books is like a set of history books!"

"I want to see if there is any story about turning defeat into victory without water!"

As soon as Shade finished speaking, Erwin shouted loudly, as if he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Your Majesty! Please wake up quickly!"

"Please don't run away!"

"Do you know you are a lunatic now!"

"A lunatic who has lost his mind in reading!"

"Do you know what you are doing now?"

"You are pinning your future and the future of the empire on this set of books!"

"Your Majesty! Books are just books! People will not read a set of books.

Become stronger instantly! "

"People who are enslaved by books will never become stronger no matter how many books they read!"

Erwin's rebuke was merciless.

In the past, Erwin would never have criticized Shade so ruthlessly.

He would only criticize Shade in a tactful tone.

But now, Emperor Shade's self-evasion has already made Erwin exhausted physically and mentally.

One bad news after another made Erwin's ruined heart further become chaotic.

Under the heavy pressure, Erwin lost control and involuntarily scolded Shade loudly.

After receiving Erwin's rebuke, Shade's anger suddenly surged up.

"Get out of here!"

Not only did Shade not intend to listen to Erwin, he also planned to tell Erwin to get out of his room quickly.

…

…

While Shade and Erwin were having a huge quarrel——

Frankish Empire, Bailu, general headquarters, command room.

Allen was the only one in the huge command room.

Allen sat alone behind the long table.

His head was drooped, as if there were no bones in his neck.

He was looking down at a handwritten painting in his hand that was only the size of a palm.

This painting depicted his wife Nifa and son Adam.

This was commissioned by a skilled painter to help him draw it after he returned from the Britannia Empire.

It must be said that the painter's skills are really superb.

Whether it is the face of his wife Nifa or the face of his son Adam, they are all painted vividly and admirably.

The wells in the city were scrapped one after another, and as the commander-in-chief of the city's garrison, he had no choice but to sit in the command room.

In such a desperate situation, Allen suddenly had an inexplicable urge to see the faces of his wife and son.

Looking at the faces of his wife and son can make Allen feel at ease.

Allen stretched out his thumb and rubbed Adam's face in the painting.

Feeling the rough touch coming from his fingers, the words Adam said to him before suddenly echoed in Allen's mind for no reason.

"Father! You will definitely be able to drive away all the invaders outside the city! Right?"

"Father, you are the 'hero' of our country! You will definitely be able to drive away all the hateful invaders outside the city! Right?"

Not only did Alan echo the words his son Adam said to him, but he also reappeared in front of his eyes the excited and expectant look of his son Adam when he said this to him...

"Adam..."

Alan muttered in a voice so low that only he could hear it clearly.

"Your father...is not a hero..."
