Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

Merlin City, City Lord's Mansion, in the back garden "Lord

of the City, it's not good, it's not good, Lord City..."

Huang Xin was playing happily with the two women in his arms, and suddenly heard someone shouting, he hugged the two women and turned around impatiently to look at the source of the sound.

"What are you doing

in a panic?" an old man came in a panic, and he hurriedly said

to Huang Xin: "Lord of the city, Dongzhai Village is here to report, the soldiers of Tide City are pressing the border!"

Hearing this, Huang Xin was shocked, his eyes widened and asked

, "What! Damn, what is the matter with Tide City now?" How many people have we recruited from our auxiliaries?"

"About six or seven hundred people..."

Huang Xin paced back and forth anxiously when he heard this, clenching his fist with one hand and pounding the palm of the other.

"The number of people who have not yet reached the plan, what should I do?" The

old man covered his forehead and thought for a while, and hurriedly said to Huang

Xin: "My lord, now we should immediately gather all the teams to support Dongzhai Village, and we should immediately send someone to Suxincheng to seek assistance!"

Huang Xin himself couldn't make up his mind, and when he heard the old man's suggestion, he agreed without thinking about it:

"Ah, yes, yes, hurry up, do as you say!" Go!

" "Yes!".

Su Xincheng

got up this morning, Su Zheng had just received the news that the second batch of assembly had been completed, and the spies in Ted City reported that there was a large-scale military operation in Ted City.

When the village of Meilin City was attacked, the lord of Meilin City was still in the gentle village of his little wife, and Su Zheng came to the military activity area for pre-war mobilization.

Su Zheng stood on the parade platform and looked at the soldiers standing in columns under the stage, and nodded with satisfaction.

All the soldiers were ready to go, and everyone was confident that the battle would be won.

In the past few days, they have witnessed the scene when 10 cannons are fired in a salvo.

The artillerymen soon discovered the fact that these loud cannons seemed to be able to be operated by mortals!

But for all the soldiers of Su Xincheng, the iron pellets that shot out rapidly with the loud sound of the cannons could rush out hundreds of thousands of meters in an instant, and what was this not magic?

According to Su Zheng's plan, as long as his cannon was fired, the enemy would definitely be confused, and he would mistakenly think that there were so many magicians to help him.

At this time, gather a large army to press towards Ted City, press the army of Ted City into the city, and then force Ted City to lose money and land.

After many considerations, Su Zheng decided not to rush to occupy Ted City first, but to come step by step. In case Tide City is in a hurry to counterattack, Su Zheng does not dare to guarantee that he can completely suppress thousands of soldiers in Tide City with 20 red-clothed cannons and his own 1,000 soldiers, and there are two magicians on the opposite side. At that time, there will inevitably be a loss, even if you win, it will be a miserable victory, and if someone wants to take advantage of the fisherman, it will be even more troublesome.

It is better to take advantage of the pressure caused by the initial power of artillery to Ted City, extort a sum of money from Ted City, restore the coffers of deficit income, and wait until you are fully prepared before moving on to the next step.

.

"We have a total of 1,200 infantry, including 150 heavy armorers. 500 veterans, the rest are all recruits, but they are all about the same, but there are 100 recruits who were recruited the day before yesterday. In addition, there are 65 elite cavalry and 20 cannons, including your escort knights. Lei

Ming reported on the current troop situation.

"Okay, leave 300 veterans and 5 guns to defend the city, take all the rest away, and exercise the courage of these recruits. I'll take the cavalry first, and by the way, I will remind this Merlin city lord, don't wait for the Ted City soldiers to come to the city, he is still lying in the woman's arms!"

Su Zheng took He Jing and 65 cavalry to gallop in the direction of Meilin City, Su Zheng originally planned to let He Jing garrison Su Xincheng, and then bring all the troops out.

However, considering that it was the first time to fight a magician after all, if the cannon didn't work, then he could save his life, and he couldn't be reckless when he should hug a woman's thigh!

The distance between Su Xincheng and Meilin City is about 30 kilometers, and Su Zheng's guards and cavalry are all heavy armored cavalry, which takes more than an hour to arrive.

When Su Zheng approached Meilin City with his cavalry, he saw the soldiers of Meilin City gathering outside the city gate.

"Yo Ho, it looks like they already know about Ted City's invasion. "

The city lord of Merlin City is not completely stupid, knowing that there is friction with Ted City, so he has arranged scouts at the border of the territory, so that he can react quickly when Ted City invades, otherwise it is really possible that the soldiers will come to the city and do not know.

For example, at this moment, Su Zheng has already led the cavalry to the city of Merlin, and they don't seem to know yet...

Even now they haven't found out....

It wasn't until a man rode out of the city on horseback and turned a corner to prepare for the road to Suxincheng that he spotted the cavalry coming from Suxincheng.

When he saw this cavalry procession, he was so frightened that he grabbed the reins, fell off his horse, and ran towards the city gate.

The old man from the city lord's mansion of Merlin City had just left the city, and when he saw the panicked appearance of the herald he had sent out, he hurriedly ran over to inquire about the situation.

Looking in the direction of the herald's finger, the old man was also frightened, thinking that it was a sneak attack by the cavalry of Ted City.

However, he quickly saw the banner held by the team, he remembered that it seemed to be the flag of Su Xincheng, and when Su Zheng approached, he also saw the medal on Su Zheng's chest symbolizing the count lord.

Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, Su Zheng came over in person, and nine times out of ten he came to support, but he still blurted out:

"You... What are you doing here?"

The old man's words made Su Zheng stunned, wearing heavy armor and running all the way, Su Zheng was already a little tired, and Su Zheng was also a little unhappy when he heard this.

"What are we going to do? It's okay, don't do anything, let's go, let's withdraw our troops, let Merlin City fight Ted City by itself. With that

, Su Zheng pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, the old man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took two steps forward and asked

, "Are you here

to support?" "Isn't that nonsense? I didn't come to support you, could it be that I came to wait for the feast?"

The old man also understood, and hurriedly apologized:

"Ah, Count Su is angry, Lord Su is angry, I just didn't expect that before we notified you, you learned that the news was coming, you are really powerful!"

Okay, okay, don't waste time, the enemy is less than 20 kilometers away from here!"What about your

city lord?" "Yes, yes, Lord Su, you are tired all the way, take a short rest first, and I will report to our city lord."

Just as a heavily armed team rushed over to check the situation, the old man turned to the leader of the team and said

, "This is Count Su Zheng, hurry up and prepare a place for Lord Su to rest, serve good tea and water, and give Lord Su good food immediately!" "

Ah, it's Lord Earl --!"

The leader and soldiers hurriedly saluted Su Zheng, who bowed their heads, and then bent down slightly and made a gesture of please.

Su Zheng got off his horse and followed him with a few guards to the rest room in the city wall.

The subordinate respectfully brought the tea, and when he took the tea, Su Zheng smelled the faint fragrance of tea.

A teacup is a coffee cup with a tray, but the cup contains tea leaves and leeks inside.

Because it is said that leek green tea has the effect of aphrodisiac and kidney tonicing, the lord of Merlin likes to drink it very much, so it is also popular in Merlin Castle.
