Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

In the evening, on the high ground next to the camp camp of the forward headquarters

, two figures, one red and one green, sat on the ground, looking at the sunset that was gradually setting in the distance.

"Hey, so you came here to observe this time..... Did

you come specifically to find me?" Seeing that Li Zhen, a straight man, was so direct, Li Xin snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, what do you say

?" Li Zhen touched his nose and smiled:

"Hehe, in fact, I was going to look for you, but His Highness didn't agree...."

Li Xin glanced at him, snorted coldly and asked

, "Heh, come to me?"

Really, you can go and ask His Highness, I asked him for leave, but he didn't approve it!"

"Okay, I believe you for the time being, then why did you come to me?"

Li Xin turned her head to look at Li Zhen, and asked with big Kazlan eyes.

"Looking for you... Look for... Looking for you... It's okay... I just want to go to Lingfeng City to have a look..."

Li Zhen blushed and lowered his head, while Li Xin looked at Li Zhen with a smile on his face.

Under the setting sun, the two figures gradually approached...

Just as the two figures were about to stick together, suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horns and drums in the camp.

Li Zhenluo stood up suddenly, looked at the camp with loud trumpets, and said with a heavy face:

"Something's wrong!"

Inside the command tent, Li Zhen and Li Xin rushed in, and Lei Ming and several other officers in red uniforms, as well as more than a dozen students in green uniforms, had already arrived in the tent.

Everyone's eyes looked at the two people at the door, and Lu Qingyun leaned in front of Li Zhen and made an angry grimace.

Lei Ming saw Li Zhen coming back, and hurriedly said

, "Xiao Li, you are back, and I will send you."

Seeing Lei Ming's heavy face, Li Zhen hurriedly asked

, "What's the matter? Is something wrong?"

Everyone's eyes looked at Lei Ming again, and Lei Ming hadn't explained what was going on with the siren and drum beating this time.

After Lei Ming took a deep breath, he propped up the table with both hands, looked at the officers and students, and said solemnly:

"A regiment has suffered heavy losses, and more than 800 people have been damaged and captured in battle. "

What

?" "Oh my God, have you encountered a magician?"

"Shhh

Thunder's words gave everyone another hammer.

Everyone understands the meaning of the two words "breakout",

but what do they mean together?

What is going on?"

Li Zhen was also very shocked, the other two regiments came back early with the news that they had completed the occupation task without injury, and at noon today, a regiment also came with the news, claiming to have occupied the city of Heinz, but there were many injuries, but there were no deaths.

How did it suddenly turn out to be heavily battered and surrounded?" The

specific situation is still to be investigated, in short, the enemy is too cunning, our commander, too stupid.

As he spoke, Thunder angrily threw his three-cornered hat on the table.

Then he put his hands behind his back, sighed

, and said, "I have informed the cavalry regiment to go to reconnoiter first, and besides, the second and third regiments have finished the battle, and I have given orders for them to return to help." Your Highness, after the battle, I need to go back and report in person, let's... It is not good to be a teacher! I have failed to live up to His Highness's trust and expectations!".

.

As night fell, the city of Heinz, the sound of hurried horses' hooves came to the artillery position.

Wang Wei, the commander of the cavalry regiment, looked at the corpse of the grenadier on the ground and couldn't help but gasp.

A general inspection revealed that their guns and ammunition, as well as ox carts and artillery, were all gone, leaving only the bodies of the grenadiers and the logisticians.

Then Wang Wei looked at the city wall in front of him, where no one was stationed, and squinted in thought.

"Great, old man, there is no one on the city wall, and the city gate has been broken.

An officer came to Wang Wei's side and said excitedly, but Wang Wei shook his head

and said, "Have you forgotten the "Thirty-six Allusions" written by His Royal Highness?"

The officer's face froze when he heard this, and after taking a deep breath, he said:

"Are you worried...

"Hmm.

Seeing this, the officer nodded thoughtfully

and said, "Well, yes, it's possible

!" Then he was suddenly stunned, tilted his head to the sky

, thought for a while, and then looked at Wang Wei and said: "Hey, no, Lao Wang, the empty city plan does not mean that it deliberately creates a scene of an empty city, so that the enemy does not dare to attack, but in fact, there are really no soldiers in the city!"

Hearing this, Wang Wei scratched his head and said

"Uh.... I mean.... Yes... The enemy may be a 'counter-empty city plan', if the enemy is deliberately creating signs of an empty city, and there is really an ambush?"

Wen Yan nodded thoughtfully and said

, "Well, yes, it is possible!" "

In short, you can't be wrong with being careful, you can take a team to test it." "

Okay, no problem, huh?"

Wang Wei ordered the officer beside him, the officer nodded, and then he was stunned again, and then looked at Wang Wei with a sad face.

Seeing this, Wang Wei asked with a puzzled

face, "What's wrong

?" "Old Wang, you don't have to pay back the three copper coins you owed me before, can you?"

Hearing this, Wang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then understood what was going on, and then said with a straight face:

"If you are afraid of death, forget it!"

"Hey, tsk, why don't you know how to tease."

Seeing Wang Wei's straight face, the officer hurriedly waved his hand at Wang Wei and smiled.

Then he drew his pistol, looked at the cavalry behind him, waved his hand, and hurried towards the city gate with a group of cavalry.

Wang Wei looked at the two officers behind him and said

, "You two each bring a small team of cavalry, and look for the side gates from the left and right sides." "

Yes!"

After receiving the order, both officers drew their pistols and rushed to the sides with two teams.

Wang Wei then watched intently at the procession rushing towards the city gate, observing any disturbances at the city gate and the city walls. Suddenly, there was a snoring sound next to him, and Wang Wei and the surrounding cavalry looked at each other suspiciously.

Then there was another snoring, and everyone could probably hear the direction from which the sound came from, and when they looked at it, they saw a 'corpse' in a red uniform snoring.

"Hiss!" Wang

Wei shuddered in fright, and the surrounding cavalry immediately took out their pistols and aimed them at this 'corpse'.

A cavalryman dismounted from his horse and kicked lightly at the 'corpse', who let out a quivented grunt, then turned around and opened his eyes slightly.

"Ahh I am the chief of staff of a regiment!" Wang

Wei and the cavalry around him all stared at the 'corpse' who had spoken.
