“The first problem is the entrance.”
“That means we’ll have to open an extra concealed entrance.”
“The water from the dark opening will just as easily pour inside our dark river from another place without any influence.”
In this way, when the river outside was attacked or blown up by the enemy, there would not be a break in the flow.
Inside the dark river, there would still be a constant flow of water entering it.
The old Dragon King nodded, “There’s no problem with that, it’s just opening an additional throughflow, it’s nothing troublesome.”
Han Sanqian nodded, “The second is the problem of the riverbank.”
“After the diversion, what I’m asking for is that the width of the riverbank should be guaranteed to be at least a metre to about two metres wide.”
The Ming River was bound to be attacked, so the quality of the riverbank needed to be guaranteed, as you could hardly guarantee that the enemy
will come and bombard the river in any way.
If the embankment in the centre is not strong enough and is destroyed in the bombardment, then the risk to the dark river will also increase rapidly.
At that point, the undercurrent could be discovered, or it could be implicated and destroyed in the process.
That’s why the consolidation of the riverbank is also important.
“The last one is a trap.” Han Sanqian said.
“Trap?” The old Dragon King was a bit puzzled, he didn’t quite understand what Han Sanqian meant by that.
“The riverbank of the Ming River, no matter which side it’s on, as long as it’s the side near the Ming River, try to use looser soil for all of them, and even when you’re digging, you can leave the riverbank unreinforced.”
“Why.”
“When the enemy bombs, try to let them finish destroying our Ming River with the least amount of force.”
“Huh?”
Han Sanqian let out a bitter laugh, “Isn’t this reasoning very clear? If the Minghe side is made too sturdy, then the enemy will have to bombard it several times.”
“Even if we’re making as much consolidation for the dark river side, however, we also have to consider time and cost, so it’s unlikely that we’ll be able to withstand many rounds of attacks.”
“So my meaning is also clear, in order to ensure the safety of the dark river side, the bright river is to be able to quickly span off after being attacked then, don’t scourge and implicate the dark river side.”
Ming river for Han Sanqian, in fact from beginning to end is not something important at all, it is more of a bait, is a trap.
Attracting firepower, and then its mission would be completely over.
What Han Sanqian had to ensure was the circulation of the dark river.
Or to put it in a different, unpleasant way, it was that all that was being done now was actually to provide cover for the dark river.
This thing, Han Sanqian must be clear, otherwise, once there is any deviation, all the efforts will all be in vain.
“Understood, I’ll notify them, I’ll try to make the defences on the side of the Ming River as fragile and easy to spot as possible, in addition I’ll try to leave some traces to facilitate the enemy’s discovery.”
“As for the dark river side, the river bank I will carry out special reinforcement, including the thick layer of soil above.”
Since all of the rivers weren’t actually dug completely into the open air, there was actually a simple layer of cover on top.
“However, there is one river that has basically been dug into shape, should we build a riverbank in it? Digging it into an open and dark river
?”
Han Sanqian thought about it and shook his head, “Let’s forget about digging it into, just think of it as giving the other side a big sweetener, a big river will be another two bright rivers, the other side will definitely be happy.”
“As for us, if we have two dark rivers to supplement, although there will be a corresponding lack of a certain amount of supplies, but, after all, we’re not fighting a war of attrition with the other side, a protracted war, so it’s enough.”
Moreover, before the bright rivers were destroyed, many of the sailors’ fighting strength could still be maintained.
When the bright river was destroyed, a large number of soldiers entered a weakened state, but the large group of sailors with a relatively full fighting strength maintained by the dark river would inevitably bring about a huge impact.
In fact, what Han Sanqian wanted was an impact.
He wanted to directly give the other party an extremely strong shock, so that the other party could not come back to their senses at once, and then be completely crushed by themselves!
