Chapter 464: The Battlefield
On the one hand, Ye Junwen asked Scam to get the goods, and on the other hand, he also asked about the storage of weapons, after all, he was going to meet the big war, and now Ye Junwen had to understand the inventory of weapons. asked a little, according to Scham's calculations, the modern weapons that Ye Junwen brought from modern times before can probably arm 15,000 troops, but the current modern troops are only 10,000 people, and the main reason is, of course, the reason for preparing a little reserve equipment.
First of all, the equipment prepared by Ye Junwen is also old after all, and some are even models from the World War II era (the production date is not the World War II period, but it is backward), and of course the failure rate is also there, so some spare weapons are needed. The second is the problem of bullets, this bullet is indeed a bit insufficient, Ye Junwen was not in such a hurry when he often imported it before, but the last few times he has not entered the weapon, resulting in the original storage of bullets is not enough.
The soldiers here don't know how to use these weapons, so naturally they need to be trained, and of course the training consumes bullets, otherwise the soldiers can't get used to it just by holding the gun and practicing aiming without shooting. So most of the ammunition consumed at the moment is consumed during training. Although there is a lot of ammunition left, it is probably enough to support a war, and it will be gone after the fight.
Of course, Scam is also trying to make people try imitation ammunition, in fact, this has been successful, the other world can also make ammunition, but the low efficiency is outrageous, a skilled dwarf blacksmith, can only make five bullets a day, after all, the other world is really using hand bullets, can be precise to this point, the ability of the dwarf craftsman is already very amazing, of course, this efficiency is not at all.
This is a headache for Ye Junwen, if you want to completely solve this problem, it may be to introduce a bullet production line, other things such as bullet casing, metal and gunpowder or something in the other world already have this technology. Didn't the dwarves have primordial muskets before, so they knew the technology similar to gunpowder, as for whether they used those raw materials on the earth, Ye Junwen didn't know very well, but if they tried it a few times, they should be able to get a perfect ratio. Of course, there was also metal smelting technology, but the problem now is that the production line of bullets is not easy to handle.
According to the size of Ye Junwen's current space, there is no problem in installing a factory, but where to buy this thing is a problem, Ye Junwen has no good way at present, and he will find a way when he goes back. But the good news is that this war will at least survive.
After successfully replenishing some goods from Scam and Woods, Ye Junwen also instructed the two to continue to stock up on goods, although he needed to fight a battle recently, but he could come to pick up the goods at any time. This made Woods here a little relieved, after all, he made up this batch of goods temporarily, but then he also knew that he could hurry up and stock up during this time.
After dealing with these things, Ye Junwen was also preparing to go to the front line. Before leaving, Ye Junwen also came to the treasure room of the palace and called Esker. Esker's previous injuries from the white monster have basically healed, but this thing is really lazy, and he has been staying in the basement in the name of recuperating his injuries, and Ye Junwen of course pulled it to work.
Although he was a little reluctant, Asker still followed Ye Junwen to set off, after all, Kthromino was working for Ye Junwen. So the two quickly set off and went to the Mage Tower to teleport.
The location of the teleportation is located in the southeast of the empire, the city of Xingluoge, this is the largest city in the southeast, as I said before, the southeast of the empire is a remote area, and the development degree is not very high, so the mage tower here is also very few, and there are a total of two mage towers in the entire southeast that can teleport.
And the military camp of the Fourth Legion is still very far away from Star Luo Ge City, Ye Junwen brought Esker here for this purpose, if you take a carriage, it is estimated that it will take a day to reach the army's station, but if you ride a dragon, you don't need to get there in an hour, and the flying mount is really very convenient.
Of course, I heard that Ye Junwen sometimes uses it as a mount, and Eske here is very unhappy, saying that it is obviously an equal contract, why is he being ridden around.
"Why, you still want to ride me?" Ye Junwen said.
"It's not a human body, or I'd really want to ride you." Asker said, shaking his head.
Ye Junwen was a little speechless, although Xeromino's side is also very arrogant, but it is probably a cold and arrogant type, and people who don't usually want to deal with it ignore it, and Esker's side is completely arrogant, although his body is very honest, but he just wants to take advantage of it.
Thinking about how unhappy he was when he said it now, Ye Junwen still rode it to the garrison location in the southeast of the city. After flying for more than half an hour, they were already close to the location of the barracks.
The location of the Fourth Legion's garrison was also a pass, and due to the border with the Segus Empire, this area was also a high-risk area for war. This pass, called Kostri Fortress, was built very strongly, between two mountains, in a very dangerous position, and naturally it was also the only way for the Saigus Empire to invade the empire. The Fourth Army has been defending on the southeast border since more than ten years ago, so it has been operating here for a long time, and the Kostri Fortress is built very strongly, even if hundreds of thousands of troops are coming, it is estimated that the block can still block a lot of time, of course, it is also the situation that the Fourth Army is willing to block, as I said before, the Fourth Army is currently unclear, and it is possible to open the door and surrender directly.
And just when Ye Junwen and the others were approaching the Kostri Fortress, Eske below suddenly spoke: "There is a chaotic sound ahead, as if there is a war. ”
"Oh?" Ye Junwen was stunned for a moment, standing on Esker's body and looking over, at this time, his eyes seemed to automatically turn on the effect of the telescope, and the field of vision quickly narrowed forward, and sure enough, Ye Junwen saw the black smoke in the distance, and it looked like he was really fighting.
"There was a fight." Ye Junwen was a little surprised, in this way, the Fourth Army should not have surrendered, otherwise there would be no need to fight, right, seeing this situation, Ye Junwen also urged Eske to hurry forward and take a look at the situation.
The two soon approached the fortress, and sure enough, there was a siege battle going on here, and when Ye Junwen saw it, the siege battle had obviously entered the white heat, and at present, according to Ye Junwen's observation, the advantage of the defending side was still relatively large, and the other party used a lot of engineering equipment, such as city crash trucks, well fences, etc., but these instruments have basically been burned, and it seems that the soldiers on the city wall used fire oil and other things to throw down and ignite them.
After most of the siege equipment was damaged, the offensive of the attacker was contained, and although it is still attacking, it is obviously lacking in stamina, and it is unlikely that it will be possible to capture the city today.
Think about it, just this morning, the Cygus Empire declared war on their St. Willan Empire, it is estimated that the attack began immediately after the declaration of war, and the other party has been planning for a long time, it should be that after hearing the news of the new emperor's accession to the throne here, he began to accumulate troops to prepare for the attack, and now that the transfer of troops is completed, he will immediately declare war, and then immediately start attacking.
It's just that this Kostri fortress is indeed very strong, it is obviously impossible to capture it in one day, on the first day, the garrison on this side is the strongest, and it is very simple to think of blocking the enemy's offensive when the materials are sufficient, and the enemy should also know this situation, it is obvious that they did not put all their forces into the attack, these soldiers just look at the equipment to know that it is not an elite unit, it is used to consume the materials in the city, and the commander of the other side is also very stable. First consume the materials and morale of the people in the city, and then wait until a certain level to win the battle, this is a very common siege mode, so although the battle seems to be fierce at the moment, everyone knows that there will be no results today.
Just when Ye Junwen was observing the battle situation, of course, someone on the ground noticed Ye Junwen's appearance, and anyone could notice such a big dragon flying in the air. The soldiers on both sides were a little panicked, after all, the dragon didn't know who it was here to help, and it was possible that both sides didn't help, and everyone panicked about this kind of thing.
At this time, the military formation of the Saigus Empire also sounded the sound of Mingjin, yes, it was a little late, and the time for the attack was almost over, but at this time, a dragon with an unknown purpose suddenly appeared, and seeing this situation, the commander of the other party was also for the sake of safety, and directly Mingjin withdrew his troops.
The attacking troops also began to retreat gradually when they heard the sound, leaving corpses all over the ground. The soldiers on the city wall saw this situation, and many people couldn't help cheering, although it was only a small victory, but it was also very morale-boosting, but most of the soldiers did not cheer, because they knew that today was just a temptation of the other party, and the real war had just begun, and at this time, the dragon that suddenly appeared in the sky also gave them a lot of pressure.
Sure enough, at this time, the dragon in the sky also began to lower its altitude and landed towards the fortress, seeing this situation, the soldiers were very nervous, but soon the people with good eyesight found that the dragon seemed to have a figure on its body.
"Dragon Knight?" All the soldiers were very surprised, as they said before, the dragon knight had not appeared for a long time, and it had become a legend.
"I see, it's supposed to be the Imperial Marshal." One of the soldiers said, "I have heard from the people from the main city that the marshal of our country now seems to be a dragon knight. ”
"Go and call the Legion Commander." An officer also said immediately.
