Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

At this time, the defenders of the city rushed towards the city gate under the leadership of the city captain, and the soldiers who escaped from the city wall hurriedly ran to the city captain and shouted to him in horror:

"They have magic..."

"Magician

!" "Oh my God, they have magicians!" Seeing

this scene, the soldiers immediately panicked, and those who didn't see it behind were also frightened by the loud noise, and then the shouts from the front also made them commotion.

Many soldiers threw away their weapons and fled backwards, and the city captain was at a loss to spin in place, when the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the city gate, and through the city gate, you could see the cavalry rushing like a tide outside the gate.

The cavalry all gathered towards the city gate, and the darkness of the night made the attacking cavalry feel more oppressive.

"Run

!" "They have magicians

!" "Run!" The

already frightened soldiers collapsed completely, and scattered like a long-awaited stunner suddenly released.

These soldiers have never fought, so they only dare to bully and bully civilians in the city-state, and the 21 sub-city-states in the southwest often have frictions, and there are armed fights at the entrance of the village.... Yes... Small-scale wars are still frequent, and their psychological quality is always stronger than that of their group of ruffians.

The cavalry rushed into the city, but the gate was not large, and it would take a little time for the three thousand cavalry to enter.

The cavalry at the front rushed all the way to the city governor's mansion, and at this time, the city governor had just ordered his henchmen to investigate the situation at the city gate, and before anyone went out, they saw a large number of cavalry rushing to the city governor's mansion.

Seeing this, the city governor was directly stunned, and he had just received the news of the enemy's attack, so why had the enemy already hit the outside of the city governor's mansion!

He hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and then came downstairs respectfully, just in time to bump into Heinz and Wang Wei.

The city governor was stunned for a moment when he saw the two people in strange red clothes in front of him, and then looked at the hundreds of cavalrymen outside the gate of the city governor's mansion.

However, none of them seemed to be armed, and they didn't even wear armor.

Heinz also looked the person in front of him up and down, and then asked

, "You are

the city governor?" Heinz's inquiry drew the city governor's attention, and the city governor looked at Heinz nervously and nodded:

"Ah... Yes..."

At this time, Wang Wei on the side spoke:

"The Clair Kingdom is rebelling, we are the 21 city alliance, and we are here to quell the rebellion!"

I see, Your Excellency, but I'm just a small city governor, the only thing I can do is to maintain law and order here, and I can't help what about the kingdom...."

Heinz interrupted him, patted him on the shoulder and said

, "You continue to be your city governor for the time being, now immediately supply my army, my team needs to rest!"

After saying that, Heinz walked straight into the governor's mansion, and the city governor followed behind and said respectfully:

"No problem, no problem! Beads

of sweat dripped from the forehead of the city governor, although these people in front of him had no weapons, but he did not dare to resist, these people outside were one person and one punch, and they could kill all the guards of the city governor's mansion.

.

.

The next morning, the morning sun shone from the east, and the city governor, who had not slept all night, was very painful and numb at this time.

It was not uncommon for an army to loot property after occupying a city, but it was the first time he had seen an army that had seized a city and distributed property on a large scale.

It was not uncommon for soldiers to gobble up meat when they saw meat in their meals, but it was the first time he had seen a soldier complain that the meat was too salty.

What does it mean that meat is too salty? What kind of tiger and wolf words are these? Can such words come from the mouth of an ordinary soldier who is born as a civilian?

The city governor looked at this large group of soldiers in disbelief who were dressed in 'rags' but picked and chosen.

Later, what shocked him even more was that when Wang Wei saw millions of catties of corn and potatoes and other grain in the granary, his order was to send them from door to door! Send them by capitation!

Then he announced that no taxes would be collected in the next year, and he promised that the taxes after that would be collected at extremely low prices, such as 10 percent for grain tax and personal income tax.

This caused the inhabitants of the city-state to immediately chant long live their highness Su Zheng.

Even Heinz was surprised by Wang Wei's approach, even Su Zheng probably had to call him a loser.

Wang Wei was also a first-time political commissar and lacked experience, so he just suddenly remembered that Su Zheng had said that if he wanted to win the hearts and minds of the people, he had to give them benefits!

But the advantage of this was that the inhabitants of the entire city-state suddenly had no fear of the army that had just occupied them, and they were grateful to this Count Su Zheng, whom they had never heard of.

.

Towards noon, the rested cavalry continued to set off, moving quickly towards the next target.

In the next four days, Heinz and Wang Wei led their cavalry troops to capture four more cities, advancing a total of 300 kilometers! There were only about 100 kilometers left from the capital of the Klar Kingdom, and they could reach it in two more days at most.

Each city-state attacked in the evening or at night, and most of the defenders of these city-states were drawn away, leaving only a small number with little to no combat effectiveness.

Almost like the capture of Leytern City, from appearing in the enemy's field of vision, to opening the city gates, to capturing the city governor's palace, it was all done in one go.

Like Lightern City, what to do when resting is to appease the people in the city, but Wang Wei also listened to Heinz's suggestion, and everyone should be a little bit more interesting, and at the same time promote the tax-free policy.

This effect was indeed different from that of Leyten, in exchange for the shouts of the inhabitants of the city-state.

At the same time, the infantry units also advanced an average of about 70 kilometers, capturing dozens of large and small city-states, including a medium-sized city with a population of about 300,000!

The advance work was unusually smooth, and the speed of advance temporarily exceeded Su Zheng's expectations, and each city-state had little resistance, and as soon as the cannon was fired, the enemy surrendered.

The same is true of the raiding forces led by Heinz, who easily captured these city-states, and thanks to the "explosives" provided by Su Zheng, they could easily blow up the gates of these city-states.

The city guards directly under the city-state were a rabble, according to Su Zheng's words, no better than the peasants who picked up the sword.

In the era of cold weapons, even with the same weapon, different training intensities and military salaries and supplies all determined their different combat effectiveness.
