Chapter 892 Machine Gun Fortress
Soon, Zhang Tuohai arrived at the entrance of the village next to the woods.
After one night, the village underwent tremendous changes.
The bluestone wall became taller, with watchtowers and gun platforms added on top. Several muzzle-loading cannons were placed in the open air on the gun platforms, with round shrapnel shells piled next to them.
The guards on the watchtower, who were originally wearing leather armor and holding mechanical crossbows, were now equipped with muskets and breastplates. They wore long swords on their waists and black cloaks on their backs, looking like hussars.
“The pace of evolution is really fast.”
Although he had seen it many times in the simulation, Zhang Tuohai was still amazed by the development speed of this small village. This was no longer something that could be described as rapid development, it was almost a civilization progress every day.
If he didn't know that the development speed of this village was linked to his camp, he would even suspect that in a few days, this village would be able to directly turn into a spaceship and ascend on the spot.
However, this is of course impossible , because this village is a benefit given to players in the early stages to help them get through the initial stages. Once the player's power expands here, it will automatically be incorporated into the player's territory, and the benefit will disappear.
In the simulation, Zhang Tuohai also tried to bypass this area and develop to other places. However, after a period of time, this village would inexplicably suffer a natural disaster, and then the villagers would bring their elderly and children to join his forces and become ordinary refugees.
His idea of taking advantage of others was thwarted.
The guards on the watchtower already knew Zhang Tuohai. This time, they ran in to report without waiting for Zhang Tuohai to arrive.
When Zhang Tuohai drove the car to the entrance of the village, the elder was already waiting at the door with his granddaughter.
"Dear elder, I got some good stuff again."
Zhang Tuohai took out the trident from the car and handed it to the elder.
Seeing the trident in his hand, the elder's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide: "You actually found this trident. This, this is really..."
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" A little girl in a pure red dress who was following behind him asked curiously. She had never seen her grandfather lose his composure like this before.
"This is a relic of the first generation of village chief in our village."
The elder's face was full of reminiscence.
"When we first built the village, it was not here, but on an island in the sea. At that time, our village had this trident that could control the tides and schools of fish, so that the fishermen in the village would return with a full load every time they went out to sea. At that time, life was peaceful and tranquil."
"However, later, this treasure was seen by the Naga tribe in the sea. The Naga tribe was greedy and cruel, and threatened the lives of all the villagers to forcibly take the trident. In order to save the lives of the villagers, the first village chief faced the Naga alone, and the rest of us completely moved away from the island and came to this land far away from the coast."
"I thought I would never see this thing again, but I didn't expect to see it again today."
The elder wiped his tears with his sleeves as he spoke.
[The villagers' friendship towards you has increased to respect. ]
"From today on, you are the most distinguished friend of our village."
The elder held Zhang Tuohai's hand and burst into tears of gratitude.
"This is the design drawing I have treasured for many years. I hope it can be of help to you."
The elder took out a black sheepskin scroll from his arms. The scroll was rubbed with patina and was extremely smooth.
Zhang Tuohai slowly unfolded the parchment scroll.
[You have obtained the design . ]
"It's done!"
Zhang Tuohai's face was full of joy.
This blueprint filled in the last piece of the puzzle for his route.
After all, expanding the territory not only requires building houses, but also requires sufficient guarding forces. Otherwise, all the spheres of influence are empty and the enemy can destroy a large area by simply sending a cavalry team.
With the machine gun fortress, the area he occupies will become a continuous fortified area, with various machine gun fortresses arranged in high and low positions, and as many ordinary infantrymen as possible will be killed in the attack.
Although artillery can knock off these turtle shells, the speed will be very slow. Zhang Tuohai can quickly send reinforcements through railways and steam locomotives.
If you want to quickly demolish machine gun bunkers in large numbers, you have to wait until large quantities of tanks are produced, or until a corps-level artillery or air force is established.
However, by the time the evil god Ulysses develops tanks and air forces, he will probably have developed corresponding technology as well. By then, he will have plenty of ways to deal with them and will no longer have to rely on machine gun fortresses.
"Thank you, I'll come again when I have time."
After getting the required drawings, Zhang Tuohai immediately got in the car and left. However, he did not return to the camp to sleep immediately, but continued to drive towards Ulysses' camp.
Just yesterday he attacked the enemy's camp and branch mine, interrupting the enemy's economic development and the construction of important buildings.
We should be in the development stage today. If we attack now, the benefits will be too little. We should wait for a few days for development and then attack again to maximize the benefits.
As for today, Zhang Tuohai turned the steering wheel and drove towards the village near Ulysses.
That’s right, there is also a village near Ulysses’ base camp, which provides Ulysses with various drawings needed in the early stages.
The reason why we didn't destroy it yesterday was mainly because we considered that too many were destroyed at one time, and we were afraid that Ulysses would lose hope of overtaking and simply overturn the table and stop playing.
He also planned to extend the timeline a little and play slowly with Ulysses.
This would also buy more time for Lilith outside.
Zhang Tuohai stepped on the accelerator and came to a small hill.
Zhang Tuohai did not drive the car directly up the mountain, but parked it in the woods halfway up the mountain. He quietly climbed to the top of the mountain and hid in the bushes to observe secretly.
Through the telescope, Zhang Tuohai saw Ulysses had just left the village in a carriage.
When he could no longer see Ulysses' carriage, he retreated from the hill, drove around the hill, and arrived next to the village.
Because Ulysses' camp was attacked yesterday, its prosperity plummeted, causing the development of the village to be affected.
The defense level of the village that provided assistance to Ulysses was still limited to stone walls and mechanical crossbows.
At the entrance of the village is a wooden gate reinforced with iron bars.
This defense can still be broken through by Zhang Tuohai.
Zhang Tuohai stepped on the accelerator and the command vehicle rushed towards the village gate.
Seeing someone breaking in, the guards on the city wall immediately rang the alarm bell, and the sound of the bell echoed throughout the village.
Ulysses in the distance also turned his head suddenly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
