327 Duel Hands, End
"No kidding......"
The blonde man was still stiff-mouthed, but he immediately noticed that when the black-robed man entered the other party's city, the construction speed of the city, which was already developing rapidly, became more ferocious.
The steam engine was invented, gray smoke began to rise from the streets and alleys, and Lin Chi's city was changing dramatically at a speed visible to the naked eye.
People's clothing was changed from handmade to production lines, and horse-drawn carriages on the streets were gradually replaced by steel-cast cars. The original stone houses began to be demolished and replaced with buildings built with the latest development of reinforced concrete......
In addition to the double development speed bonus of "Emperor" and "Empress", the city is also blessed by the three cards of "Chariot", "Priestess" and "Justice", and the "Devil" played by Crispy Chicken Leg Fort has increased the city's development speed by 50%!
At this time, Lin Chi's city was entering a stage of crazy expansion with the blessing of six bonus cards. When the city of Crispy Chicken Leg Fort was still plagued by the plague, he not only completed the overtaking of the enemy city-states, but even crushed the opponent in terms of technology and culture!
Due to the "lover" in the last round, Lin Chi's urban population also showed an explosive growth trend. And the side effects of the "aggravation of contradictions" brought about by the devil also began to take effect at this time.
"There are too many children in the city, and we are asking for birth restrictions!"
Some people held placards and marched in the open space in front of the palace. The city guards in front of the palace who maintained order could not do anything about them, and they could not even find a reason to arrest the demonstrators other than to block their advance.
With the explosive development of the city, the city-state has broken away from the feudal system and entered the capitalist era. Since this was the first time this had happened, there was nothing about it in the laws of the city-state.
Today, the hierarchy of feudal society has almost disappeared, but the big capitalists have not yet been born, and the technological and economic development in the cities is fast, but in fact it is still in the embryonic era of capitalism.
In this abnormal situation, the population explosion is unbearable for the city, and it has become the biggest contradiction in the city that is exacerbated by the "devil"!
And the best way to solve the contradiction of overpopulation is to......
"Expand outward." Lin Chi said with a smile.
As if hearing his call, the size of the army that had been training in the rear of the city began to grow in a terrifying trend, and the equipment on the equipment of these soldiers had been replaced by semi-automatic rifles with large bolts and newly developed revolvers.
In order to travel lightly, the soldiers took off their original metal heavy armor and replaced them with tight-fitting light leather armor, with pistol holsters and long-handled daggers hanging around their waists, and wearing wide-brimmed military hats.
Seeing that his army had been formed, and was even equipped with new chariots and artillery, Lin Chi casually played a "sword" and launched an attack on the enemy, and then played a golden card, providing a terrifying bonus for his army:
NO.10 - Wheel of Fortune.
Reversed.
The wheel of fate begins to spin, sending your city-state straight to the next turn.
Under the stunned gaze of the crispy chicken leg burger, the void above the table once again resurfaced a delicate silver roulette wheel, turning forward with a crisp clicking sound.
As the Wheel of Fortune came into play, the army behind Lin Chi's city, as if it had "teleported", appeared directly in the middle of the desert, skipped a round of marching, and rushed straight to the city controlled by Crispy Chicken Leg Fort.
Unlike when Crispy Chicken Leg Fort marched, the supply line of this army was actually maintained by automobiles......
- The best way to find a place for the surplus population is to conquer other nearby cities.
Driven by the "devil" and the "chariot", these well-armed and battle-minded soldiers soon arrived in front of the walls of the hostile city, set up cannons outside the range of the opponent's crossbows, and aimed at the thick rock walls!
"Fire!" The artillery commander shouted.
The muzzles of more than a dozen artillery pieces lit up with a dangerous white light, and after a neat thud, the pitch-black spherical cannonballs smashed into the upper end of the city wall with a thousand momentum, and actually blew out the gap in the seemingly impenetrable thick city wall.
"Reload...... Fire! β
These artillery, produced by the arsenal at the rear of the city, continued to fire shells at the city wall, and dozens of archers who were originally standing at the top of the city wall ready to release arrows were directly blown to pieces by the shells, and the soldiers who survived next to them were unstable on their feet, and were shaken down by the shock wave of the nearly 20-meter-high city wall, falling to the ground and falling into a puddle of mud.
"Keep firing! Destroy their walls! β
Soldiers armed with guns and sabers stood neatly on the sidelines, watching the advanced war machines equipped by their own armies tear through the walls of the city without mercy.
The city of Crispy Chicken Leg Fort had just recovered from the plague when it was directly attacked by the enemy. And this time, the strength of the two warring sides has undergone a shocking reversal.
ββThe originally strong army of Crispy Chicken Leg Fort has become the weak side at this time, and under the crushing equipment gap, the crowd tactics can no longer have any effect!
"Lean ......"
The blonde man sitting at the card table watching the battle with a frown furrowed struck a "sword" and launched a final offensive against the attacking enemy army.
In fact, he has seen the huge gap between the two sides, and he knows that this gap cannot be bridged by numbers, but even so, he is still unwilling to give up the last chance.
"Ahh
Beneath the burning city walls, the gate finally opened slowly, and a large number of soldiers in metal armor, armed with swords and light crossbows, poured out of the city gate, howling and waving their sabers, and launched a desperate charge against the enemy army in the distant desert!
They were greeted by the black muzzles of the artillery and the long barrels of the steel chariots in the rear.
Standing inside the chariot, the big men stood behind the multi-barreled machine guns, holding the metal grip on the back of the guns with both hands, and began to shake the "rocker" behind the pistols.
The weapon in these vehicles is the famous weapon invented in the real world in 1861 - the hand-cranked multi-barreled machine gun "Gatling"!
Bang bang bang......
After a barrage of gunfire, the hundred people who rushed in front were blown to pieces. The armor on their bodies could not withstand the bombardment of the old-fashioned hand-cranked machine guns, and under the dense rain of bullets, they instantly turned into corpses full of holes.
The soldiers in the back rushed forward on the corpses of their comrades, and then they were blown into pieces by the flying shells, and everyone could see that what was happening on this bloody battlefield was a one-sided massacre.
- Soldiers, who are also armed with old-fashioned weapons and armor, are simply no match for armies armed with machine guns and artillery. Under the overwhelming disparity in equipment, the armies in the city-state of Crispy Chicken Leg Fort fell like a wheat field run over by a harvester, one after another.
Frustrated to witness the whole process of the slaughter of his army, Crispy Chicken Leg Fort let out a long sigh, threw away the few remaining cards in his hand, and leaned back in his chair weakly.
"I choose to die." He said.
