Chapter 179: Sending a Naughty Castle to the Beijiang Army
Seventy electric saws were sent by Bai Wei to the Beijiang Army.
A large crowd of people surrounded the electric saws, studying them with curiosity.
"Just this thing, can it saw through an iron gate?"
"We have saws too, but it takes a long time just to saw through a tree; if we want to saw through the gate of Shiya City, I'm afraid it would take a month."
Xiao Moting squeezed into the crowd, picked up an electric saw, and handed it to a craftsman.
"Demonstrate."
"Yes."
The craftsman had already read the manual; he picked up the electric saw and pressed the switch.
"Buzz!"
The electric saw emitted a deafening noise, and the saw blade began to spin rapidly.
The craftsman gripped the vibrating electric saw with both hands and brought it close to a rusty iron sword.
"Zzz—"
The iron sword was actually like tofu; it was sliced right through, leaving a clean, even cut.
The Beijiang Army soldiers all around exclaimed in shock.
"What a powerful electric saw, it can actually cut through metal like it's nothing!"
"Shennü Daren is truly all-knowing; she has all sorts of amazing things."
"It is only thanks to Shennü Daren that we can break into Shiya City."
The electric saws sent by Bai Wei were extremely powerful, boosting the morale of the Beijiang Army.
At this moment, Xiao Dabao walked over.
"But every time we get close to the city gate, they pour burning hot coal from the top of the wall; there's simply no way to get near the gate."
"Yannan is suffering from a drought, and there are no water sources nearby, so we can't put out the fire at all."
The fresh water in the military camp is limited and is meant for the soldiers to drink; they usually don't even have enough to bathe.
Besides, putting out the fire requires a massive amount of water.
Using the fresh water meant for the soldiers to extinguish the fire is nowhere near enough.
Suddenly!
A slip of paper drifted down before Xiao Moting's eyes, and he caught it instinctively.
"Xiao Moting, quickly have the soldiers scatter and clear a space for me; I am going to send over a big item."
Xiao Moting immediately looked up and gave the order, "Disperse!"
The soldiers were well-trained; they scattered to both sides in a flurry, revealing an open space in the middle.
Just at this moment!
Suddenly!
Everyone's vision blurred, and immediately after, a massive object appeared in the open space.
A huge inflatable swimming pool, fully one hundred and fifty square meters in size, filled to the brim with fresh water!
On the inflatable wall of the pool, a few words were clearly written.
"Naughty Castle - Children's Water Play Pool"
The pool was filled with fresh water; it was practically a giant reservoir.
Floating in the water were several swim rings: a little yellow duck, a flamingo...
The Beijiang Army soldiers all around were completely stunned.
With this much water, let alone putting out the fire, there would be enough left over for everyone to jump in and take a bath!
"Done."
Bai Wei stood at the entrance of the children's amusement park, clapping her hands excitedly.
Yannan lacked water.
The defending army relied on this fact, using burning hot coal as a weapon, scattering it basin by basin from the city walls to "create" a wall of fire at the base of the walls to block the Beijiang Army from attacking the city.
Therefore, she had a flash of inspiration and went to a nearby children's amusement park, paying money to buy a plastic inflatable swimming pool.
She bought the pool and the water together!
It wasn't the weekend, so the amusement park was deserted, and there was no one around the swimming pool.
Bai Wei put on an act, hiring a moving company truck and having the workers pull tarps around the swimming pool to enclose it, claiming she was moving it away.
It was exactly noon, so she ordered a table of food at a nearby restaurant and, using the opportunity while treating the workers to a meal, teleported the swimming pool to Daliang.
When the workers returned from their meal and were dumbfounded to see the empty ground, Bai Wei quickly stepped forward to settle the bill, saying she had bought the pool for a friend, and the friend had already called a truck to haul it away, but she would pay their wages as promised.
In this way, she dispelled the workers' suspicions.
Who would argue with money? Everyone got paid without having to do the work, which actually made things easier.
After sending the swimming pool, Bai Wei also sent over the high-pressure car wash water guns she had purchased.
"Xiao Moting, connect these water guns to hoses, place them in the swimming pool, and turn on the switches to spray water and extinguish the charcoal fire poured down by the defending army!"
Inside Shiya City.
The Military Advisor, panting for breath, rushed into the main hall in a panic.
"Guo, Prefect Guo, this is bad!"
Guo Gui had been standing on the city wall all morning overseeing the battle for a long time and was now tired; he was lying on a chaise longue resting and shouted impatiently.
"What is it, acting all flustered."
"The, the Beijiang Army is attacking the city again..."
Behind Guo Gui stood two maidservants, who were fanning him.
He closed his eyes, enjoying the breeze, and spoke slowly.
"Let that bunch of idiots from the Beijiang Army attack; they won't be able to take it anyway."
"No, the Beijiang Army has water!"
"What?"
Guo Gui sat up from his imperial couch all at once, his eyebrows standing on end.
"Water?"
"Yes," the Military Advisor said, his face turning pale, "and a lot of water at that."
Guo Gui thought for a moment and scoffed disdainfully.
"Yannan has been in a drought for more than half a year; how much water could they possibly have? A few buckets? A dozen buckets? Even if the Beijiang Army found a hundred buckets of water, they still couldn't put out the fire!"
"It's not buckets, the Beijiang Army has brought a pond!"
In an instant!
Guo Gui's eyes widened, and his mouth formed a circle!
Are they crazy?
To conjure a pond out of thin air.
"You had better not be lying to me!"
Guo Gui pointed angrily at the Military Advisor and immediately ran toward the top of the city wall.
Upon arriving at the city wall, he was instantly stunned!
Not far from the Beijiang Army camp below the city, a huge "pond" had appeared in the camp.
The pond was colorful, and it was unclear what material it was made of.
But the clear water in the pond was absolutely real!
Under the sunlight, the water ripples sparkled!
The city had been lacking water for over half a year, and the soldiers' lips were cracked from thirst; seeing a large pond suddenly appear in the Beijiang Army, they all went mad.
The soldiers crowded frantically to the top of the wall, shouting one after another.
"Water, there is water."
"Good heavens, where did they get so much water?"
"I'm so thirsty, can someone give me a sip of clear water, just one sip."
The soldiers were too thirsty!
The limited clear water in the city was all given to the high-ranking officials and nobles, and they could only drink sewage.
Even the sewage was not something everyone could drink; the soldiers could at most drink a small sip, and countless commoners in the city had died of thirst.
A general shouted in a panic.
"Prefect, the Beijiang Army is attacking."
Guo Gui's face darkened, "No need for you to run your mouth, I see it. It's nothing that they brought a pond; let's see them break through the gate first!"
He was very confident in the sturdiness of Shiya City!
Even if the Beijiang Army pushed over ten Battering Rams, they wouldn't be able to break his city gate!
The Beijiang Army below the city launched their offensive once again.
Everyone pulled the High-pressure Car Wash Water Guns, spraying out streams of clear water.
The clear water poured onto the red-hot charcoal fire.
"Sizzle."
The charcoal fire was extinguished by the water, sending up plumes of white smoke.
Watching the Beijiang Army continuously spraying water, the defending soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but lick their lips.
Such good clear water, they hadn't drunk it for over half a year, and the enemy was actually using it to put out a fire!
The charcoal fire below the city was extinguished.
Xiao Moting raised his Long Blade and let out a roar.
"Electric Saw team, saw open the city gate!"
"Yes."
Seventy Beijiang Army soldiers holding Electric Saws charged toward the city gate.
They pressed the switches!
The Electric Saws "buzzed," emitting a series of roars.
Guo Gui, who was standing on the city wall feeling smug, was suddenly stunned.
"The iron saws they are holding, they can actually move on their own? What kind of thing is that?"
