Kirk nodded and said: "God Amon, you have shown your sincerity. I am willing to cooperate with you to destroy the Roman invading army together!"

God Amun was silent for a while and said: "Let me give you a hint. The Romans are currently planning an insidious plan that can destroy all your efforts. The danger lies in the south!"

Kirk and Cleopatra were stunned at the same time. But God Amun had disappeared into the void. It seemed that this kind of information had exceeded the authority given by the Supreme God, and God Amun could not be too explicit. Just like Rome

The gods cannot interfere too much in this expedition.

The two looked at each other, is the danger in the south?

Alexandria has been besieged by the Romans on three sides. The blockade on the north sea was broken by Kirk's hurricane. To the west was Antony's 200,000 troops, and to the east was Octavian's 100,000 troops. Only the south gate never received any

This is because the south gate is the fork of the Nile Delta. It is muddy and densely covered with swamps, making it impossible for large troops to deploy.

How did the Romans attack the South Gate?

But at this time, the herald came in hastily, and the Roman army attacked again.

Maybe it was yesterday's battle that severely weakened Antony, or maybe the Romans really had other plans. In the morning's attack, the Romans seemed less brave than yesterday. Kirk just followed the steps, which was enough to repel the enemy's attack.

Cleopatra was very busy. She was constantly accompanied by officials, recruiting new troops, training soldiers, repairing war equipment, comforting residents, allocating supplies, and discussing the war situation. She was extremely busy.

Kirk took a break from his busy work and stopped to rest for a while, still puzzled by the questions in his mind.

South gate?

He put Xiaopang and Sheva in charge of guarding, and walked to the south gate to take a closer look.

There is an abandoned dock in the open area of ​​the south gate, about 150 meters away from the Nile River. However, the muddy land and dense swamps make it impossible to deploy a large force of more than 500 people. The guards at the south gate are also complete, and the city gate is strong.

It is no worse than the other three gates, and there is no obvious opportunity to take advantage of it.

How can the enemy make a sneak attack?

Cleopatra came up from behind: "You are indeed here."

Kirk said: "You once said that the only weakness of the city of Alexandria is that when the Nile River floods, the flood will overflow the land around the city of Alexandria and raise the water level to the water gate. If the enemy rides a giant ship and goes down the river,

, then you can rush into the city."

Cleopatra nodded: "I have indeed thought about it and done experiments, and this method is feasible. But it is late winter and early spring now, and there are still three full months before the Nile River floods. The Nile River floods on time, absolutely

Not in advance."

Kirk thought hard: "How on earth can the enemy break through our defense line from the south? There is nothing we can do?"

Cleopatra smiled and said: "That's true. I have ordered people to report on the hydrological conditions all the way from Aswan to here."

A flash of lightning pierced Kirk's mind: "What did you say? Aswang?"

Cleopatra asked strangely: "Aswan is a small city in the south. What's wrong?"

Kirk shouted: "Are there any dams in Aswan? Or other facilities that can regulate the amount of water?"

Cleopatra thought hard and suddenly shouted: "Although the scale is not large at present, there are indeed three consecutive dams between the third waterfall and the second waterfall! It forms a stepped water conservancy facility!"

Kirk asked anxiously: "How much is the total water volume?"

Cleopatra's face also turned red: "You have to ask the water conservancy officials for specific figures, but the Egyptians have long known about using water conservancy facilities to adjust the balance of the Nile River in the rich and lean seasons. The amount of water in these facilities is about the same
