Chapter 464 Battlefield
Ye Junwen looked for Skam on the one hand to get goods, and on the other hand, he also asked about the storage of weapons. After all, he had to face the war. Now, Ye Junwen must understand the inventory of weapons. After a little question, according to Skam's calculations, the modern weapons brought by Ye Junwen from modern can probably arm the troops of 15,000 people, but the current modern troops are only equipped with 10,000 people. The main reason is of course the reason for preparing some equipment.
First of all, the equipment prepared by Ye Junwen is older after all, some are even models from World War II (the production date is not during World War II, but just behind), and the failure rate is of course also, so some spare weapons are needed. Secondly, the bullet is a bit inadequate. This bullet is indeed a bit ineffective. Ye Junwen was not so anxious when he imported it before, but he has not imported weapons in the last few times, which has resulted in the lack of enough bullets originally stored.
The soldiers here will not use these weapons, so they naturally need to train. Of course, they need to consume bullets. Otherwise, they will not get used to it by letting the soldiers practice aiming and not firing the guns. Therefore, most of the ammunition consumed is consumed during training. Although there is a lot of ammunition left, it probably supports a war and is gone after the battle.
Of course, Skam also found a way to ask someone to try imitation ammunition. In fact, this has been successful. The other world can also make ammunition, but the efficiency is so low that it is outrageous. A skilled dwarf blacksmith can only make five bullets a day. After all, the other world really hits bullets with his hands. It can be so sophisticated that the dwarf craftsman's ability is already amazing. Of course, this efficiency is simply not good.
This is a headache for Ye Junwen. If you want to completely solve this problem, you may have to introduce a bullet production line. Other things such as shell metal and gunpowder have already had this technology. Didn’t the dwarves have original muskets before, so they knew similar gunpowder technology. As for whether the raw materials on the earth are used, Ye Junwen is not very clear, but after a few tests, they should be able to get a perfect ratio. Of course, there is also metal smelting technology, but the problem now is that the bullet production line is not easy to work with.
According to Ye Junwen's current space size, there is no problem with installing a factory, but where to buy this thing is a problem. Ye Junwen has no good idea at the moment, so I will find a way when I go back. But the good news is that this war can at least survive.
After successfully adding some goods from Skam and Woods, Ye Junwen also instructed the two to continue stocking up. Although he needed to fight a war recently, he might come to get the goods at any time. This made Woods here feel a little relieved. After all, he has collected this batch of goods temporarily, but he also found out later that he can prepare the goods during this period.
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 Esk. Esk was basically healed by the white monster before, but this guy was really lazy and stayed in the basement in the name of recuperation. Of course, Ye Junwen pulled it to work.
Although he was a little reluctant, Esk still set out with Ye Junwen. After all, Ksharomino was working for Ye Junwen. So the two of them set off quickly and teleported to the Mage Tower.
The teleportation location is Xingluoge, a city located in the southeast of the empire. This is the largest city in the southeast. I have said before that the southeast of the empire is a remote area and its development is not very high, so there are very few mage towers here. There are only two mage towers in the entire southeast that can teleport.
The Fourth Legion's barracks are still very far from Xingluogo City. Ye Junwen brought Esk here for this purpose. If he was riding a carriage, it would probably take one day to reach the army's base. However, if he rode a dragon, he could arrive in less than an hour. Flying a mount is indeed very convenient.
Of course, I heard that Ye Junwen sometimes used it as a mount, and Esk here was very upset. He said that it was an equal contract, so why was he ridden by himself?
"Why, do you still want to ride me?" Ye Junwen said.
"It's not a weak human body, otherwise I really want to ride you." Esk said with a head shake.
Ye Junwen was a little speechless. Although Kerromino was also very arrogant, he probably belonged to the kind of cold and arrogant type, and he ignored people who didn't want to pay attention to him. However, Esk was completely arrogant. Although his body was very honest, he was just the kind of people who wanted to take advantage of him.
I just thought that although he was so upset when he was talking, Ye Junwen still rode it to the garrison site in the southeast of the city. After about half an hour, they had approached the military camp.
The Fourth Legion's garrison was also a pass. Because it bordered the Segus Empire, it was also a high-risk area for war. This pass called the Costries Fortress was built very strongly, and was located between the two mountains and a very dangerous position. It is naturally also the only way for the Segus Empire to invade the Empire. The Fourth Legion has been defending the southeastern border since more than ten years ago, so it has been operating here for a long time. The Costries Fortress was built very strongly. Even if hundreds of thousands of troops attacked, it is estimated that it can still block a lot of time. Of course, the Fourth Legion is willing to block it. As mentioned before, the Fourth Legion's current attitude is unknown, so it is possible to directly open the door to surrender. Once you get to the Costries Fortress, the enemy's troops will march straight in.
Just as Ye Junwen and the others approached the Costre Fortress, Esk below suddenly spoke: "There is a chaotic sound ahead, as if there is a war."
"Oh?" Ye Junwen was a little stunned, stood on Esk and looked over. At this time, his eyes seemed to automatically turn on the telescope effect, and his vision quickly narrowed forward. Sure enough, Ye Junwen saw the black smoke in the distance, and it seemed that he was really fighting.
"It actually started fighting." Ye Junwen was a little surprised. It seemed that the Fourth Legion had not surrendered, otherwise there would be no need to fight, right? Seeing this situation, Ye Junwen also urged Esk to look forward to see the situation.
The two soon approached the fortress. Sure enough, a siege battle was being held here. When Ye Junwen saw it, the siege battle had obviously entered a white heat. At present, based on Ye Junwen's observation, the defending party had a relatively large advantage. The other party used a lot of engineering equipment, such as city bumper cars, well railings, etc., but these equipment had basically been burned. It seems that the soldiers on the city wall used tinder oil and other things to throw it down and ignited.
After most of the siege equipment was damaged, the offensive side's offense was curbed. Although they were still attacking now, they obviously lacked the momentum, so it was unlikely to capture the city today.
Thinking about it, it was just this morning that the Segus Empire declared war on their Saint Wilan Empire. It was estimated that it had started attacking immediately after declaring war. The other party had been planning for a long time. It should have been accumulated after hearing the news that the new emperor had ascended the throne. Now that the troops were transferred, they declared war immediately, and then immediately began to attack.
However, the Costre Fortress is indeed very strong, and it is obviously impossible to capture it in one day. On the first day, the garrison here was the strongest. It was very simple to block the enemy's offensive when the materials were sufficient. The enemy should also know this situation. It is obvious that they did not put all their troops into the attack. These soldiers just looked at their equipment and knew that they were not elite troops, but they were used to consume the materials in the city. The opponent's commander was also very steadily. First consume the supplies and morale of the people in the city, and then waited to a certain level before taking them down. This is a very common siege mode. So although the battle seems to be quite fierce at the moment, everyone knows that there will be no result today.
Just as Ye Junwen was observing the battle situation, of course, someone on the ground noticed Ye Junwen's appearance. 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 to help, and it was possible that neither side helped, and everyone was panicking.
At this time, the sound of gold sounded from the army formation of the Segus Empire. Yes, it was a bit late. The attack time was almost over, but suddenly another dragon with unknown purpose appeared. Seeing this situation, the other party's commander directly called gold and stopped the troops for safety reasons.
The troops of the attacking side began to retreat gradually when they heard the sound, leaving behind corpses all over the ground. Seeing this situation, many people couldn't help but cheer. Although it was just a small victory, it was also very encouraging. However, most of the soldiers did not cheer because they knew that today was just a temptation by the other party, and the real war had just begun, and at this time, the sudden appearance of the giant dragon in the sky also put a lot of pressure on them.
Sure enough, at this moment, the dragon in the sky began to lower its height and landed towards the fortress. Seeing this situation, the soldiers were very nervous, but soon the people with good eyesight found that there seemed to be a figure on the dragon.
"Dragon Knight?" All the soldiers were very surprised. They said before that the Dragon Knight had not appeared for a long time, and this has become a legend.
"I understand, it should be the Marshal of the Empire." A soldier said, "I heard from the people from the main city that the Marshal of our country now seems to be a dragon knight."
