Chapter 23: Army of the East

At the time of Earl Carlos' sword expedition, a Chinese army had marched to Suero only half a day away.
This army has a neat and well-equipped army with more than 2,000 people, including the strength of two regiments. The soldiers lined up in two rows, covering the winding dirt road, and could not see the end at a glance.
Xiao Chen and Catalina rode two horses from the front of the team to the back of the team. Catalina had already sneaked into Suero and surrounding towns to gather intelligence a few months ago. Xiao Chen at the front of the team. So Xiao Chen accompanied her to find Wang Jiyuan at the end of the team.
According to the committee's resolution, in addition to the necessary manpower to stay behind in the River City and the school, all the high-level and master-level fighters and mages that can be called are equipped to work with the army in the guard.
This army, ready to seize Suero, was led by Wang Jiyuan himself, as well as high-level masters such as Master Gabriel, Xiao Chen, Roger, and Evelyn, as well as many mid-level masters.
Katerina had never seen troops of this size march before, and now seeing a steady stream of soldiers passing by in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a huge sense of oppression.
"It's spectacular." She dared not speak loudly in front of such an army.
Xiao Chen said: "How? Haven't you seen our expanded troops?"
At the front of the team are ordinary soldiers wearing cotton uniforms, they occupy the largest number of the team. The military camouflage training uniforms brought from the previous world have not kept pace with the expansion of the guards. Now these soldiers are wearing monochrome green military uniforms produced by local clothing factories. Each of them carried a 02-type air rifle on their body, carrying a carrying gear, and the rifle's bullet was placed in the carrying bag of the carrying gear, and each of them was also equipped with two spar grenade.
"Their weapons seem to be different from a few months ago." Katarina said.
"This is a 02-type air gun. It was set before you left, but it was three months ago." Xiao Chen said.
Caterina used the Type 01 rifle. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the Type 02. She found that it was longer and larger than the Type 01. The craft seemed to be better, whether it was a dark barrel or a wood-colored gun. The brackets look fine and smooth.
Xiao Chen told her that in addition to improved performance in all aspects of the 02 type air gun, it also expanded the magazine and increased the number of bullets to 5, so the current air gun bullets are no longer scattered, but use five one Loaded magazine design. Airsoft bullets do not require propellant, so the volume is much smaller than gunpowder gun bullets, and each soldier can carry more bullets.

In addition to conventional bombs, the weapon research and development department also developed spar burst bombs, spar armor-piercing shells and spar shield bombs. The first two naturally use the power of spar to improve the combat performance of bullets, and the shield-breaking bullet is a special bullet. Its main function is to consume the mage shield through the above magic circle, although it is not like the demon Arrows can directly penetrate the shield, but they can also produce a much larger energy consumption on the shield than ordinary bullets. If you use this bullet to shoot the mage, you can quickly exhaust the mage's shield and cause damage to the mage. It's just that this bullet requires the rare forbidden crystal as a material, so there is no large-scale installation, but it is equipped with a sniper with a good shot.
"That's a sniper?" Katerina asked, pointing at a soldier with a longer barrel. In the era of the 01 type air gun, all guns are the same, and there is no such arm.
"Yes, the sniper's air gun is a specially customized 02 type modification. Not only is the barrel longer, the air tank is also larger, but it is also equipped with a simple telescope. The details of these guns have been carefully polished by the dwarf craftsmen. So the accuracy of shooting is also much higher. "Xiao Chen said.
After the soldiers passed by, they came to a group of soldiers who looked very different. They were not wearing cotton military uniforms, but wearing armor outside the short cotton coats. They were melee soldiers with grudge.
These soldiers generally possess the strength of warrior apprentices, and some have reached the level of low-level warriors. Most of them wear light armor, equipped with sword shields or spears, and their style is closer to the warriors of this world. But they are equipped with a 02 air pistol and four spar grenades at their waists, which gives people a modern feeling, quite a mix of modern and classic.
"If the general lord has such a force, he will definitely be his most proud guard. They basically rely on these elite wars, and the ordinary people recruited generally do not have much combat power." Katarina said. "The empire on the opposite side has the habit of relying on this powerful force to raid the opposing coach."
Xiao Chendao: "Our melee troops may not be consumables for assault. Their main task is to prevent the opponent's grudge warriors from breaking through the fire blockade of our soldiers, and then killing our artillery and ordinary soldiers."
Catalina nodded, and she found that these warriors were very well equipped, whether they had armor or weapons on them, they all had enhanced magic circles. This is much better than her outfit when she was a mercenary.
However, these magic circles look quite different from magic weapon magic circles on the market, and appear simple and simple. However, anyone who knows the array method will take a closer look and find that their structure is more streamlined and effective, and there is a sense of ingenuity.
They are all new types of arrays developed after the analysis and reorganization of magic texts, mathematical simplification of the circuit, repeated screening and comparison of various programs with a computer, and after a large number of actual measurements. It is not only more cost-effective in terms of materials and performance, but also suitable for industrial batch drawing.
Unlike traditional enchantments, which are done manually by alchemists, Chinese enchantments are all done in an enchanting factory. Although the Enchanting Factory is not a large manufacturing factory, it has introduced the factory's production model, such as assembly line and quality inspection.
Often an assembly line in an enchanted factory will basically consist of a group of alchemy apprentices. Each array will be disassembled into several structures that can be drawn separately. A skilled alchemist apprentice, with the help of the spar pen invented by the Chinese, can draw a structure with very little mental energy. Generally, he only needs to practice for a few days to master the specific part he is responsible for. Several procedures are drawn in sequence. Five or six alchemy apprentices can complete a 90% of the production process of a magic circle, and then a low-level alchemist The drawing of the finishing part is integrated to complete the finishing touch, and finally reviewed and revised by the intermediate alchemist. It turned out that only low-level pinnacle alchemists were qualified to complete the magic circle, which was several times faster.
Although the effect of this magic circle is not as good as a magic circle drawn by an alchemist himself, the speed of equipment production is unknown.
