"boom!"

A loud noise not far away accompanied by a large amount of dust fell into the trench and hit Leo, pulling him out of the state of checking himself and making him realize that this was not a good place to think about problems.

At this time, a figure suddenly rolled in from the trench in a state of panic. When he fell to the ground, he cursed a few times in a native British English dialect.

Although Leo was aware of this figure the moment it appeared, he did not make any defensive or offensive movements because he recognized this figure as the bearded man who had just rescued him from the battlefield and dragged him to this bunker for treatment.

.

"God bless you, I knew nothing would happen to you kid Leo." The bearded man shook his head and shook off some of the dust on his head, then he saw Leo sitting against the earthen wall of the trench.

A sincere smile instantly bloomed on his face. He stepped forward and hugged Leo, patting him on the back like an old friend. Then he let him go and patted him on the shoulder, neither lightly nor hard.

Said happily.

Being treated so warmly for the first time made Leo feel a little uncomfortable. He frowned and secretly ordered his assistant brain to search for memory fragments, and soon found information about this bearded man.

This bearded man is Leo's comrade-in-arms, named Jason. Because he is only a free citizen of the Kingdom of England, he has no surname.

Just like Leo had to join the army in order to offset his debts, Jason also chose to join the army in order to offset the crime of robbery. As for the item he robbed was just a piece of bread.

Jason is a bit silly, with a single mind, and often does some inexplicable things, but he is not a bad person. Once he is recognized as a friend, he will treat him sincerely and even repay him with his life, just like he just said

It was like running to the battlefield to save Leo under the heavy artillery fire.

The main reason why Leo was recognized as a friend by Jason was because after Leo was assigned to a subordinate unit, he happened to see a few soldiers playing tricks on Jason. He himself is not a smart person, and he has been treated like this in the past.

He had been bullied, and he had been deceived to end up like this, so after seeing this similar scene, a burst of resentment burst out, and with his extraordinary physical fitness, he stepped forward and taught the ruffians a lesson.

Then he was recognized as a friend by Jason.

"Jason, you idiot, be gentle, my wound has just healed!" Leo said according to the tone in his memory.

"Haha!" Jason chuckled and moved a lot softer.

"Thank you!" Leo beat Jason's chest and said with a sincere expression: "If you hadn't taken the risk and pulled me here, I might be dead now."

"Haha!" Jason had never heard anyone say thank you in the past, and Jason didn't know how to respond for a moment. He could only smile and touch the back of his head.

Leo likes to get along with this kind of people who don't require much thinking, because he doesn't have to worry about the knife coming from the back. In the past, most of the team members in the team he managed were such people, so he also has a good relationship with such people.

Extensive experience in dealing with.

The most important thing when dealing with this kind of people is to be straightforward, because if you speak too convolutedly, it will be difficult for the other party to understand, and they may even take some euphemisms seriously, so after Leo said hello, he pointed outside the trench and said directly

Asked: "How is the situation outside?"

"It's very bad." Jason put away the smile on his face, became serious, and said: "I heard from the guys in the Third Regiment that the First Army Headquarters in Wine Barrel Town was taken away by the French Blue Hats.

Now, the Blue Hats have formed an encirclement and surrounded this place. The people of the Third Regiment are preparing to break out and retreat. I came to find you because I want to retreat together."

Hearing Jason's words, Leo just frowned slightly. Although it is not difficult to hear from Jason's words that the situation here is very tense, but for someone like Leo who has experienced interstellar battlefields, this kind of tension is

The situation is nothing more than an insignificant drizzle.

In this era where there is no technological means to assist in searching for enemies and one can only rely on his eyes to make judgments, no matter how tight the enemy's encirclement is, Leo can still easily find loopholes in the encirclement and escape.

The problem now is that Leo doesn't know where to escape, because the past memory fragments do not contain any knowledge related to geography. He doesn't even know where this battlefield is in the French Empire, so even if he escapes, he will be the same.

You will be lost, and you may even go in the wrong direction and fall into a trap.

Thinking of this, Leo looked at Jason and shook his head. It was obvious that even with Jason's intelligence, it was impossible for him to know much about geography, so he shifted his gaze to the side and was still in a daze.

Dr. Nelson came.

Dr. Nelson, who has received a good education, should have complete geographical knowledge. Even if this knowledge is only on paper, it is enough for Leo to get them out of trouble.

Thinking of this, Leo moved to Dr. Nelson's side, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, making his tone as sincere as possible, and said comfortingly: "Doctor, please have your condolences! This is war, either you die or I die, no one will die."

We may die in the next moment, so all we can do is live well."

"Huh! Yes, this is a damn war!" Dr. Nelson, who was depressed, came back to breathe, exhaled the tightness in his chest, then gritted his teeth and cursed fiercely.

"That's right, damn war!" Jason on the side also agreed and loudly agreed.

Seeing that Dr. Nelson had recovered, Leo directly repeated to him the current situation that Jason had just mentioned, and asked: "Doctor Nelson, what do you think we should do now?"

Dr. Nelson was silent for a moment and asked Leo, "What are you going to do?"

Leo said directly: "If we continue to stay here, we will definitely be captured. I don't want to be a prisoner."

"I don't want to be a prisoner either." Jason yelled from the side.

Dr. Nelson was silent for a while, and then the sound of artillery fire outside the trench suddenly stopped, and only sporadic gunfire sounded from time to time.

Leo quickly made a judgment: "Their encirclement has been laid out. Next, they will advance to the battlefield and tighten the encirclement."

Jason didn't feel anything about Leo's words, but Dr. Nelson looked at Leo in surprise. If Leo's method of treating trauma just now made him look at this country boy who didn't look very old in a different light.

If so, then Leo's analysis of the battlefield situation and his inference of the enemy's use of troops shocked him, and he couldn't help but wonder about Leo's identity.

Judging from the identity tag on Leo's military uniform, Leo should be just an ordinary person from rural Yorkshire, but Leo's knowledge is no worse than those of associate bachelors from the National Academy, which is really hard to understand.

Leo asked in a somewhat urging manner: "Dr. Nelson, have you made a decision? Should you stay or leave with us?"

A trace of hesitation flashed across Dr. Nelson's face. Although he is a military doctor in the Kingdom of England, he is a registered doctor at the Velen Medical College. This status can guarantee that even if he is captured, he will not suffer any harm.

He needs to wait until the war is over before he will be released back to his country, so staying here and not running around is his best choice now.

But for some reason, he felt that if he chose to escape the battlefield with Leo and the others, he might encounter some interesting things.

"Let's leave together! I don't like being a prisoner." Dr. Nelson had an inexplicable trust in his intuition, coupled with his adventurous personality, which made him make an immediate decision.

"Okay, now let's sort out our belongings and search for all the things we can use and bring them with us. We don't know what we will need or what we will encounter on the way to escape, so it's best to make more preparations." Dr. Nelson made a decision.

, Leo immediately arranged the matter, then took out a very old mechanical watch from his pocket, looked at the time on it, and said: "Twenty minutes of preparation time, when the time is up, whether you are ready or not, you have to

Leave immediately. Now, take action!"

Dr. Nelson and Jason, who had never received such an order, were at a loss after hearing the order and didn't know what to do. Leo immediately gave an example, endured the pain of the abdominal wound, and walked quickly.

In the collapsed ruins of the bunker, search for all the useful things on the corpses.

Seeing Leo's demonstration, the two of them were a little uncomfortable with picking things off dead people, but they also felt that Leo was doing the right thing, so they stepped forward one after another, following Leo's way, looking for all possible items that could be used.

things on.

Perhaps the sealed medical gown and mask on his body were too much in the way, so Nelson took off his clothes and mask, regardless of what germs he might have contracted, folded them carefully, and put in the portable medicine he had just found.

Inside the bag.

Leo was a little surprised when Dr. Nelson revealed his true face.

Nelson's slightly hoarse voice and his status as a medical school tutor made Leo think that the other party must be very old, but in fact Nelson was very young and looked to be around thirty years old.

Although Leo is not very clear about how difficult it is to obtain the status of a tutor at Velen Medical College, judging from the special status of Velen Medical College in the world of Velen, it is obvious that becoming a tutor at a medical school is definitely not an easy task.

Not only does it require extremely high medical skills, I'm afraid it also requires a certain identity.

At this time, Leo noticed an obvious scar on Nelson's neck. Judging from the marks, it should be an old injury, which was also the reason why he spoke hoarsely.

Nelson seemed to be particularly sensitive to sight. Leo's gaze only lingered on his neck for a moment, and he sensed it. In response, he just frowned, pulled up his collar, and covered the scar on his neck.

Without saying anything else, he continued to look for useful items.

Leo didn't ask, after all, the relationship between the two parties was not good enough to interfere in each other's private affairs, and now was not a good time to talk about private matters.

Leo turned his attention back to the ruins of the bunker in front of him and quickly found a lot of useful things, such as unopened cans, intact medical kits, some coins of the Kingdom of France, a few daggers and swords, etc.

But the most valuable thing he found was a set of ten-magazine mechanical repeating crossbows found on the corpse of an officer.

This set of mechanical repeating crossbows was made very precisely, with a large number of gears meshing together, and combined with some special devices that even Leo couldn't figure out the principles of, to form a gorgeous killing weapon.

The repeating crossbow was not big and could be picked up with one hand. After Leo found it, he adjusted it to single-shot mode and tested its power.

The palm-sized steel arrow fired from the repeating crossbow easily penetrated a steel plate used for defense not far away, and the remaining force allowed it to penetrate deeply into the soil.

"The power of this thing is much better than those bullshit muskets!" After Jason saw the results of the test from the sidelines, he couldn't help but show envy, and looked at the breech-loading gun in his hand with disgust.

Gunpowder weapons have appeared for more than three hundred years, and have been improved since the moment they appeared. Those in power hope to make this weapon a powerful weapon for attacking cities and demolishing strongholds.

But what is counterproductive is that due to the shortcomings of gunpowder itself, gunpowder weapons have never been able to become the mainstream of weapons.

I don’t know if it’s because of the basic elements of this world or other unknown mysterious forces. In short, the gunpowder in this world is very unstable. The same ratio of gunpowder sometimes fails to ignite, and sometimes the power of the explosion is far greater.

Depends on the quality of the gunpowder itself.

After a long period of research, someone has finally been able to use a suppressive additive to keep the gunpowder that often appears to be extremely powerful within a relatively small range after it explodes, solving this problem that often threatens gunpowder users and those around them.

Big questions in other people's lives.

However, while one big problem has been solved, another problem of gunpowder-induced disorder has never been able to find a solution, which makes gunpowder weapons often suffer from duds and the like.

For this reason, the armies of various countries can only use various off-board tactics to solve this problem.

In the early days, the armies of various countries simply asked soldiers to carry a few more guns. Once there were duds, they would switch to another gun. When all the guns were used up, the enemy should not be far away, and then they would stab them directly.

Later, after someone invented the breech-loading gun and the magazine, the armies of various countries created another device. This device would allow the firearm to eject the impacted ammunition after impacting the ammunition, regardless of whether the ammunition was triggered or not.

The next ammo comes up.

Usually a ten-round magazine can trigger at least one, two or even more bullets. Although the number of triggers is small, if there are a large number of firearms and equipment and large-scale concentrated shooting, it can still have considerable lethality. That is why the armies of various countries now

Equip this extremely unstable weapon.
