"The first hidden danger - if you want to drain all the water of Lake stell, all the discharged water will be drained to the bottom."

El pointed down.

"At the bottom of Lake Steiner, there are large settlements."

"There are many nationals of the Frankish Empire living here."

"Although we can arrange people in advance to lead away all the citizens in the settlement under Lake Steir, even if we lead away these civilians, this large settlement is bound to be lost."

"This large area of residential areas will become a land of Ze Guo. This area will not be inhabited for a long time in the future."

"And these nationals of the Frankish Empire who are forced to leave this area will become homeless refugees."

"But - we can help these refugees find new places to live."

"Although it will destroy a large area of land under Lake stell, it is not much compared with the capture of Bolu."

"So this is not the biggest hidden danger."

"The second and biggest hidden danger is that if the water in Bailu lake is drained, it is tantamount to indiscriminate killing of the citizens in Bailu city."

"Many citizens who have not left Bolu will die of thirst."

……

……

El's words directly made the atmosphere of the whole big tent become dignified in an instant

"... No." A general of the Hiran army said in a deep voice, "this kind of thing that will lead to the death of a large number of innocent civilians, we can't do...!"

The translators translated what the general said to all the Knights of the British army as quickly as possible.

As soon as the translators' voices fell, a sneer suddenly sounded:

"Can't you do it? Why not? "

The speaker is Deng Jiaer.

Deng Jia'er shrugged and looked fearless.

"As long as the water source of Bolu city is cut off, we can take Bolu city without a shot. To minimize the casualties of our coalition forces. "

"Why don't we do such a cost-effective thing?"

"That can't kill all these innocent civilians in the city!" The general replied reluctantly.

"This is a helpless thing!" Deng Jiaer's anger also came up, "this is war! War will inevitably have accidental injuries! What we have to do is not to pity the civilians of the enemy country, but to try our best to bring the greatest war results to our country! "

"If we do this, it will be the same as slaughtering the city!"

"As long as the emperor of the Frankish empire can open the city and surrender as soon as possible, not many people will die! Since you are so opposed to cutting off the water source of Bolu City, tell us a siege method that can be more efficient than cutting off the water source! "

"All right...!" Ethel frowned and said in a deep voice, "don't make any noise! It's a meeting now! It's not proper for you to make such a noise! "

With the occurrence of Iser, chinor, one of the leaders of the Hiran army, also spoke to the general:

"Calm down! Don't make noise in military meetings! "

Because of the voices of Iser and chinor, the originally tense atmosphere was slightly relieved.

But Deng Jiaer and the general still glared at each other angrily.

Su Cheng and El seemed to have expected that the situation would become like this. They looked calm from beginning to end.

"In that case..." Su Cheng whispered, "let's vote. El, what do you think? "

"I have no opinion."

"OK. Then - those who disapprove of cutting off the water source of Bolu City, please stand up. "

Su Cheng's voice fell, and there was a sparse pull of the chair immediately.

Only three people stood up

"OK, the voting is over." Su Chenglang said, "starting from tomorrow, 70000 people will be assigned to cooperate with the arrangement of hydrological experts to drain the water of Steir lake! The rest of the people continued to maintain the siege of Bolu! "

……

……

The total length of tonight's military meeting is less than an hour, but it is inexplicably quite long.

After the meeting, El and Gabriel walked one after another on the way back to the military tent where they lived.

After the military tent where they lived appeared in their field of vision, Gabriel suddenly said:

"... are you going to kill civilians..."

"... well." El nodded softly, "this is also a helpless thing."

"If the water source is cut off, many innocent people in Bolu will die."

"Constant water supply will kill many generals and soldiers in our army because of the siege."

"By comparison, it must be more cost-effective to let the enemy die..."

Gabriel sighed: "El, aren't you afraid? If you do so, you may curse on your back. "

"It doesn't matter." El whispered, "after I promised your majesty to become the new marshal of the Holy Hiran Empire, I knew there would be such a day, and I was ready..."

"... killing civilians or something is really annoying..." Gabriel sighed.

"... yes. That's why I want to be a third-class Quartermaster all my life... "

……

……

The next day, under the arrangement of Su Cheng and El, 70000 troops marched out of their barracks.

Of these 70000, the army of Britannia sent 50000 and the army of Hiram 20000.

Under the command of hydrological experts from the two armies, the 70000 troops dug drainage canals by the lake of Steir.

According to the hydrologic experts of the two armies, it will take at least two months to drain the water of Lake Steir.

Just two months is really a very short time for the siege.

The Frankish generals, unaware of the intentions of the britannian and Hiran armies outside the city, were still in full readiness, waiting foolishly for the troops of the britannian and Hiran armies to attack.

The generals of Bolu only knew that the britannians and hirans outside the city were strange. They had been under the city for so many days, but they were still stationed outside the city of Bolu.

Neither retreat nor attack.

So silently surrounded the city of Bolu.

They don't know - the britannians and hirans won't attack their city of Bolu anymore

Until the fall of Bailu, the Allied generals of the britannian army and the Hiran army would not shoot even one arrow at the wall of Bailu.

When the 70000 troops of the coalition army went to dig canals and drain the water of Steir lake, another 310000 troops continued to surround BERLU and confuse BERLU's garrison soldiers.

In this calm atmosphere, the undercurrent is already surging

Inside and outside Bolu City, two months have passed in this strange environment with turbulent undercurrent
