Black Cherry Forest, Ratman Camp.

"What should we do? Now the offensive of the Han army has suddenly strengthened a lot, and it is pressing on us step by step. As of last night, the front in our southern theater had retreated in three days, "We must find a way now, otherwise if we continue, we will not be able to hold on to the war launched by the Yasen barbarians."

The big prince of the rat man who is talking now, Dahan, is depressed and puzzled.

I don't know why, since a few days ago, the offensive of the Han army has suddenly intensified, and the originally stalemate front has suddenly remained unchanged. For the sudden intensified attack of the Han army, the unsuspecting rats could not resist it, and it can be said that they were defeated and retreated, and they had already lost several positions.

He really couldn't understand why the Han army, which was originally fighting steadily, suddenly began to exert its strength?

The rats also know that the reason why the Han army is fighting steadily is not that they can't defeat them, but that the logistical problems are difficult to solve.

If it's in the plains, grasslands, etc. In relatively empty areas, the Han army will not worry about this kind of problem at all. The logistics system of the Han army is quite effective, and it is equipped with many large airships, so there is no need to worry about material supplies at all.

However, jungle warfare is completely different! Many of the advantages of the Han army cannot be displayed here at all.

In fact, this is very common. There are many examples of wars on Earth. The most famous of these are the Boer War between the British and the Boers for the South African colony at the beginning of the century, and the Vietnam War in the era of the Force.

In both wars, the side that had an absolute advantage. I have endured all the hardships. Especially in the Vietnam War, the overwhelming superiority of the US military actually failed shamefully.

Although there are reasons for the assistance of other forces, it is undeniable that fighting in such a dense forest is undeniable. The gap between the two sides will be greatly reduced due to the terrain due to environmental constraints. Whether it is the deployment and movement of the army, or the transportation of logistics, there will be many big problems.

At that time, the U.S. military was originally full of confidence, and they made great strides forward, and they did have the upper hand at the beginning. But as the battle line deepened, they soon lost their laughter, and the North Vietnamese guerrillas began to be active, using the terrain to constantly harass and attack the logistics lines and detachments of the American army.

After having had enough of guerrilla warfare in the jungles of Vietnam. The U.S. military also changed its tactics and switched to steady and steady progress. Although it still failed in the end, in terms of the proportion of casualties, it was indeed much lower than before the change of tactics.

The same is true of the current Han army, which also encounters similar problems as the US army in this primeval forest. Those damn rats. always playing guerrilla warfare, not fighting with the Han army at all, so that the advantages of the Han army could not be brought into play at all. It was also necessary to place a large number of troops behind it to protect the logistics line.

There's no way around it, and it's not a good idea to play frontline airdrop in this kind of dense forest area. This kind of action is not only dangerous, it is dangerous for both the airship and the receiving personnel, and the success rate is very low. This is not surprising, and the US military in the Vietnam War was a good example.

But now, since the Han army dares to strengthen the offensive on a large scale, it means that their logistical pressure has been greatly reduced.

As for what the reason. The eldest prince has never been able to know.

However, at this time, the third prince Zanhan said: "The Han army suddenly used a new weapon, it should be a kind of fire crystal rao, but the voice is even more and there is no magic fluctuation. ”

"New weapons?. The eldest prince was a little curious. hand, immediately an attendant sent a box up.

The attendants opened the box and placed it on the ground to show the higher-ups in the tent.

"Huh. What is this?" the nezumi generals were a little strange. At first glance, this thing does look a little like Fire Crystal, but the barrel is much thicker and has to grow a lot. There are still some projectiles next to it, these projectiles are all jujube core type, each one is the size of a finger, and it is obviously much larger than the projectile of the fire crystal system.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my subordinates report that the Han army is now using a large number of such weapons, and many of our brave soldiers. All fell under such insidious weapons. This kind of thing is completely different from Fire Crystal Rao, when it is launched, there is no winter light at all, and the sound is also very good, but the projectile it fires, the penetration and speed are terrifying. Even if you find out, it's hard to dodge. And, even hiding behind a tree, it will be penetrated

The third prince said with an angry face: Except for high-level professionals. Ordinary soldiers simply have no way to resist this weapon,"

"Ahh

He picked it up and looked at it carefully, only to find that the sample was a piece of. The back part of the gun body was blown to pieces, and even the butt of the gun was missing, and the original appearance could not be seen at all.

The second prince hurriedly explained: "The Han army is very strict about the secrecy of this weapon, and there seems to be a self-destruct device on the weapon. That, Jia Er Piao was originally surrounded by us, and he originally wanted to be captured alive and tortured after seeing that he couldn't break through, so he actually activated the self-destruction system, and he died with this weapon, destroying this weapon."

"Well, it seems that the people who use this weapon are the elite troops of the Han army" The eldest prince shook his head, the most important part of this weapon is gone, of course, it doesn't have any reputation.

However, it can also be seen that its barrel is completely different from the fire crystal system, the fire crystal dysprosium is a smoothbore, and this weapon is a rifle.

Golden Wind Drizzle Building.

"Doctor Su, this is your canonization order and a new knighthood certificate..."The envoy from the imperial court said politely.

Su Ze took the tray with both hands and saluted the messenger: "Lord Wang, I'm sorry for your trouble."

After the imperial envoy went down to rest, Su Ze's friends and subordinates congratulated him one after another.

Zhang Feimao smiled: "Hehe." Priest, you are now a baron. In the future, he must be a prince."

"Huh. Rejoice and rejoice, you are also a quasi-male now," Su Ze also replied.

Because in the past, Zhang Sanye's title was higher, so in order to avoid embarrassment, he was called by the position of the church. But now Su Ze's knighthood

In the Han Empire, the priesthood could also be knighted, and there was no contradiction between the two. It's just that there are very few people who have this kind of opportunity, and the most important thing is that after having a dual identity, there will be a double obligation.

For example, the current Su Xue is that if he doesn't have a title, he can completely ignore this solicitation, and he can't find him. However, Su Xue can afford this price, how can there be a free lunch in the world, since he has power. There are corresponding obligations. He still has this realization.

Besides, although this dual identity is more burdensome, it also gets more benefits and power, and it is still very cost-effective when calculated carefully.

"Congratulations to the lord and duke, hehe, it's still a six-level promotion" Su Xue's first retainer, Wu Nai, also had a happy face, and he now feels more and more that his choice is good.

It is not a joke that the title has been promoted to six levels in a row! If it is a low-level title such as "sergeant level" to "doctor level", it is easy to say, but this time it has been promoted from "doctor level" to "secretary level." Although this kind of example is not uncommon, in the more than 1,000 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, those who have had such an opportunity will not exceed the strength of the country.

Now Su Xue is on a rocket all of a sudden, from the sixth rank "official doctor" to the twelfth rank "upper baron" The center of the empire is not a fool, and there are strict regulations on the promotion of the empire, even if Su Xue is the agent of the land, he will not let him ride the rocket for no reason. This is the result of a combination of his contributions to a while ago.

According to the documents sent by the center, Su Ze's great achievements are six.

The first is to destroy the clone of the evil god Aguda. Of course, this is mainly done by Si Zhi, but Su Xue is the agent of the robe, and the credit for the secular part is naturally received by him.

The second is to annihilate the 35,000 army of the four princes of the nezumi, but this credit is real. In fact. Or because this battle was too easy, so when evaluating the points, it was also pressed a lot.

The third thing is to delay the retreat of the three princes of the nezumi and assist the main force to cripple this force. And the subordinates he sent also performed well in the battle and were well received by the officers and soldiers.

The fourth thing is to solve a lot of logistical problems for the empire's army to conquer the west. This is also a real credit. Su Ze not only contributed the recipes for those military rations, but also organized production. And it's rare. He also offered several important prescriptions, the most important of which were: white medicine, wind oil essence, human pill and so on.

The fifth is to promote the alliance between the Han Empire and the Urban Empire. This incident made Su Ze a little embarrassed. He knew that it must be his beautiful teacher Lilith, who said a lot of good things to the court bigwigs.

The sixth and real credit is the dedication of several new weapons. This matter is vaguely stated in the order. It's just that he made a significant contribution to the Imperial team. Because this involves military secrets, there are many things that are not humane to outsiders, and of course it is impossible to say too clearly.

In fact, Su Xue sent a lot of weapons, and he gave almost everything he had looted from the US military. But there are not many that really make the military look at it. Because of these things, there are many emperors who have similar or similar teams, on the one hand, there is not much advantage in performance, and on the other hand, there is a difference in usage habits, so there is no need to replace it.

And one of the weapons that the military attaches the most importance to is the kind of thing that resembles fire crystals.

This thing is not a product of Earth, but a new weapon that combines Earth's weapon concept with otherworldly arcane technology.

This kind of weapon, Su Ze gave it the name "Arcane Air Gun", but the bigwigs of the emperor felt that this name was too stupid and was not worthy of this weapon at all, so they renamed it "Hurricane Lightning Lock", and the soldiers below preferred to call it "Fengshen Rao"!
