The troops began to get busy, and such a huge movement directly woke up the people nearby.
Some people started taking to the streets in the rain, wondering what was going on.
A brave man grabbed a soldier and asked: "This military brother, what happened to the Chinese Army?"
The soldier was not rude to him, but said patiently: "Because of the heavy rain, the water level of the moat in the west of the city has risen sharply.
It is almost overflowing to the ground.
The commander asked us to open the channel and divert the water to the north."
Someone said: "This heavy rain is really sudden, and it can actually raise the water level of such a huge moat to such an extent."
An old man said: "I'm afraid this is a heavy rain that has never happened in a century.
I have been in this city for nearly 30 years and it has never happened before."
At this moment, someone suggested: "Folks, if Huaxia City is flooded, it will be difficult for us to survive alone, and we will definitely be affected by the flood.
Therefore, I suggest that we pick up hoes and go to the west gate to help the Huaxia Legion open channels. " Someone responded to the call.
"Yes, I think so.
The Chinese Legion is to fight and protect us, not to dig channels.
There is no one more professional than us in this kind of work."
"I agree" "I join" "Me too" Many people quickly gathered together, and some even went directly to every household to publicize it and let them join the team.
After just a while, more than 2,000 people gathered.
They headed towards the west gate in a mighty manner.
At this time, it was very bright above the West Gate Tower, just like daytime.
At this time, a row of big lights appeared on the tower.
These lights illuminated extremely far away, illuminating the places nearby for several miles very brightly.
People didn't know that Qingcang spent five days of life in exchange for it from the mall.
If you rescue someone in the dark, it will cause huge obstacles to the rescue.
It is still raining and it is too dark to light a torch.
If you are not careful, you may directly sacrifice your life.
"Is it dawn?
What is that white light?
I have never seen any light whiter or brighter than the moon at night, except that one."
"It's so bright, I can't even see what's coming from it."
"The light seems to be coming from the Lord of the City."
"Is that a divine thing?"
"I don't understand.
The city lord often brings some weird things, which are puzzling."
It’s not surprising that people don’t know this is a light and mistakenly think it is a divine object.
They didn't stop any longer, but hurried to the city wall and asked the guards to ask to see Qing Cang.
Qingcang was directing many soldiers to place the prepared sandbags on the edge of the river embankment.
At this time, the river water had spread a little further.
The water in the river was very turbid, and the waves kept hitting the river embankment.
If it was not reinforced in time, the bottom of the river would be I'm afraid it will be destroyed by the waves.
Once the embankment breaks, there will be a series of chain reactions.
For example, the suspension bridge may be dangerous, because the suspension bridge is also built on the river embankment, and there are intact eggs under the nest.
Qingcang was very confident and shouted loudly: "Thank you for your hard work, the one on the right needs to be strengthened.
The height is not enough, and the width is also the same."
The soldiers under the city wall, with high morale, immediately stacked sandbags as he asked.
Each sandbag weighed hundreds of kilograms.
These sandbags were in their hands.

If there was nothing, especially the performance of several generals, they were even more brave.
They had to take the lead. , Only by taking the lead can the morale of the soldiers be lifted.
"Commander, there are nearly two thousand people below who want to help open channels."
Qingcang was stunned.
This was the second time that people asked for help.
Something happened suddenly.
One more person would be more powerful.
Qingcang agreed without thinking: "Okay, you take them to Mr.
Zhang for help." , remember personal safety comes first, I don’t want anyone to get hurt or killed.”
"It's the commander"
The guards immediately got off the city tower.
After a while, a large number of farmers walked out from under the city gate.
Each one held a hoe or other tools and crossed the suspension bridge to the west where the mountain springs gathered.
At this time, there were tens of thousands of people.
They are digging the river channel in sections.
There will be a channel dug every one meter or so.
When the water is directly introduced into the channel, the water will directly break through that one-meter section, and the channel will naturally open. .
With the addition of more than 2,000 people, they have done more farm work and can naturally dig faster than the soldiers, so the overall progress has improved a lot again.
This was not over yet.
As time went by, another five thousand people joined in, adding a lot of strength to the entire excavation team.
At the same time, many soldiers on Zhao Ziyun's side also worked very hard to collect a large amount of sand and put it into bags.
The supply of these sandbags has not stopped as soon as one is packed and transported away.
The sky has brightened, and people have been working for two hours continuously.
Not only the west gate, but also several other gates are guarded by some soldiers, carefully observing the water level.
Fortunately, the news came back from the front, and everything about the moat outside the three gates normal.
The heavy rain was still falling, and from a distance it could be seen that the water level had risen to a foot above the ground.
Because the source is not blocked, the water flow continues, and the level becomes higher and higher, and then upwards Qingcang asked the guard who had just returned from the front line.
"How is Mr.
Zhang's progress?"
“There’s still a while to go before we can open up the channels.”
Looking at the water level of the moat rising, Qingcang was more anxious than anyone else.
The city wall could not be damaged due to heavy rain.
Once the water reached the base of the wall, it might not be visible on the surface.
In fact, due to the water submersion, it might have been damaged.
It's easy to erode.
As long as there is an unstable foundation, a landslide is likely to occur.
Although Qingcang still believes in Wang Zongwei's work, the craftsmen he hired are also people with the most advanced technology in the city.
But according to Wang Zongwei, the city walls are still afraid of water.
As a result, he came up with the idea of upgrading all city walls.
That is to make a good foundation, do a good job of waterproofing, and use a stronger adhesive to coat the exterior wall, which can not only be waterproof but also resist external attacks.
While he was thinking, Wang Zongwei trotted up.
"Commander, according to our craftsmen, if the water is not drained out at this time, our sandbags will not be able to withstand the effect.
By then, the water will be more ferocious and the damage to our city wall will be greater.
Commander, please think of a way."
Qingcang looked at the people in the distance who were working hard to dig channels, and then looked at the increasingly overflowing moat.

At this time, the water flow was gradually getting faster.
There are still a large number of warriors working hard to move along the moat.
He must make a decision quickly, otherwise he may harm the nearby warriors and even the city wall.
This west gate will definitely become the first choice for the Qiang and Hu armies to attack, because It's close enough, and the open space outside is large, so it needs to be protected at all costs.
This situation will happen today.
Obviously, the original design failed to divert more water channels.
If the diversion had been done, today's situation would not be so critical
