Chapter 590 589. The meat grinder officially opens
After the first battle group retreated back to their position, the defenders at Black Flame Pass didn't even have time to feel horrified by the terrifying fighting will of these Transians. They saw more than 500 people from the second battle group fighting in an indescribable manner.
"Jingjin" stepped on the corpses and bloody smells on the ground to take over his compatriots, and once again guarded the high ground.
But the "crow's mouth prophecy" that Ah Yu made before committing suicide and taking a break was correct.
In the afternoon of the day when the second battle group stood up, they encountered a second wave of harassing attacks from jackals in the nearby area. The battle ended in the evening and one-sixth of the second battle group was killed in the first battle.
Many excited newbies rushed forward to try to fight the jackals and even received their lunches before they could live for more than thirty seconds. Obviously, it is difficult for personal force to be used in such chaotic large-scale battles, not to mention that they have only entered the field in the past few days.
Newcomers to the game have no such thing as "personal force" at all.
Many of them were thrown into the "death match" without even mastering the basic skills. Not to mention the elite monsters, even ordinary gnolls didn't even need to slash, they just had to wait for them to roar and charge.
Come here, you can break the attack with just one strike, and send him away with the second strike.
This embarrassing way of death made the newbies complain on the forum that they had no gaming experience, but the old players did not tolerate them. Whenever someone barked, the honorary title of "Rookie" would be given to them on the spot, and
The greedy party came to laugh at him immediately.
It’s not that old players bully newcomers, it’s mainly because things happen for a reason.
Not all the newbies died in the first battle of the second battle group. Those newbies who followed Commander Qin Ye's orders to dig trenches before the battle began and stayed patiently in them until the counterattack was launched did not join the battle.
Survived.
Moreover, in their counterattack and strangulation in the final stage, almost everyone made gains.
Except for some really unlucky ones, these guys who died were basically the "unorganized and undisciplined" kind. Facts have proved that the consequences of disobeying orders in such large-scale defensive team battles can only be...
It's a waste of money.
This is the unique tactics of the second battle group.
Master Qin fully learned the lessons of the first battle group. Before he entered the Blood Flag Highlands, he divided the veteran players into groups. Those responsible for assault, those responsible for defense, those responsible for long-range harvesting, and those responsible for treatment were all arranged properly.
After switching defenses with the first battle group and entering the position, Master Qin's first order was to ask Mengxin, who had not been assigned a specific task, to start digging trenches around the high ground. This was the "big gift package" and "the first order" he prepared for Mengxin.
a lesson".
Since there is no individual force, let's use the obedience of a collective organization instead.
They had also practiced several times in advance in the criss-crossing trenches on the Maginot Line, and had a basic impression of trench warfare.
Unlike Brother Meow Meow, who relied on loud voices to conduct on-site command and make eye contact, Lao Qin set up several fixed areas for the high ground. He concentrated all the cannons and players who were good at using them on the high ground as artillery positions.
Most of the explosives were given to players with the hunter and ranger professions, and were placed in the first layer of trenches to provide fire support.
He also planned to dig a second circle of trenches after the first day's battle as a rejection trench to block the extremely fast warg assault of the gnolls.
Considering that the jackals will only attack from one direction in front, Lao Qin believes that as long as he cooperates properly, the remaining people under his command will be able to persevere.
Obviously, the Second Regiment is planning to arrange the Blood Flag Highlands into a multi-layered trench defense line with cross-fire power. Lao Qin, a veteran who has become more and more active recently, wants to turn this place into a "meat grinder".
He didn't do this on a whim. During the few days when the First Regiment was guarding the high ground, Mr. Qin made a special trip back to the Transia National Arsenal and wiped out all the spare explosives in Brother Zhong's hands.
He definitely came prepared.
"Three days!"
In the smoke after the first battle, Lao Qin stood on the high ground holding his Mosin Nagant. He shouted with a serious face to the players looking at him below:
"My request is that we must stick to it for three days! This is the bottom line. We will make money for every extra day. I know it is difficult, but the task is the task! There is no room for bargaining.
The second battle group will either complete the mission or lie down and be carried out by the brother troops!
I know there are still many people who are not convinced by my command, and that’s okay! If you don’t obey, you can leave and wait in the first or third regiment.
I don't want guys here who don't obey orders!
Our second group has the most newbies, but in my opinion this is not a bad thing. The veteran players are used to being free and loose, and they also have their own fighting methods, but the bloody example of the first group proved that their methods are effective.
It won’t work in a real war!
I'll teach you how to fight, if you want to learn.
Now listen to my order and complete the excavation of the barrier trench before the next wave of jackals attack! Come on!"
"exist!"
When his name was called, the tiger and leopard knight was shocked. He stepped forward and stood there with his back straight. Lao Qin signaled that he did not need to perform military salutes, but said sternly:
"You are an engineer. I asked you to take a team of people to lay mines at the end of the combat zone. I brought 800 anti-infantry mines, which are experimental products from the arsenal to improve the technology. This time I asked you to bring them over to see actual combat.
Effect.
Although those guys' workmanship is very rough and there are many problems with this thing, it can barely be used.
Remember to use it sparingly."
"As you command!"
Lin was refreshed and immediately selected a few people to follow him. Later, Lao Qin designated several other people and assigned them different tasks.
So the entire Blood Flag Highland became busy quickly under the command of Lao Qin. Lao Qin hung up a pair of binoculars for himself and patrolled the position with a gun on his back. It was impossible to tell that he was walking in real life.
I have to use a wheelchair.
It was like I was suddenly returned to my passionate youth, like I was on the battlefield for the first time.
"These six halfling rapid-fire guns were supported by the quartermaster under Lord Heather, Mr. Qin."
On both sides of the high ground, Lumina, who was assigned to the second battle group, was leading a few newbies to install heavy automatic hunting crossbows. She had used this thing before, so she was deeply impressed.
Seeing Lao Qin turning around, Lumina took the initiative to introduce:
"The quartermaster said that we did a good job, so he gave us a small stove. His only request was to let us kill a few more jackal cubs. His younger brother died at the hands of jackals. This is a random mission, and we need to use it.
The six rapid-fire guns he supports can kill 100 jackals, I think it's a piece of cake."
"Will this thing work?"
Lao Qin immediately murmured when he saw this strange and bulky crossbow machine.
He entered the game late and had never seen this kind of halfling's mechanical creation, but after hearing Lumina's explanation, he felt that this thing had the same function as a heavy machine gun, so he rubbed his chin, took a look, and gave Lumina a new one.
Two locations are specified.
He also gave the young man a face-to-face lesson and said:
"You put two of them on the left, one on top, and then put the remaining three on the trench. This is a standard crossfire. With the current terrain, they can easily block the front.
When the Jackals are blocked and forced to stop, I ask you to fire without mercy! If this thing is as powerful as you say, then the pressure on the melee team will be much less.
Little girl, since you have experience, then you will be in charge of these halfling rapid-fire guns!"
"Ah? I'm good!"
Lumina had long wanted to reminisce about the glorious days when she used this thing to fight vampires in Scarlet Castle. Now when she heard Master Qin gave her the mission, she straightened her back and made a military salute.
Lao Qin chuckled and walked around the battlefield a few times with his hands behind his back. Seeing that the sun was about to set, his heart slowly lifted.
When he was in Transia, he had studied the fighting methods of jackals through the previous black disaster battles. Although these guys did not have the bonus of vampires at night, they moved very fast and had dark vision, so they were very
Likes to have night battles.
Fortunately, the mission had been completed at this time, and 200 monkey version anti-infantry mines had been buried in the open space at the end of the combat zone.
"Everyone changes to incendiary gold ammunition!"
Lao Qin issued a new order. This is obviously because he has confirmed that the jackals will definitely come to steal the camp tonight, so he asked the players to be prepared.
Facts have proved that the veteran's hunch was accurate.
An hour after nightfall, Lao Qin was holding a book "General History of Transia" to study the grievances and grievances between vampire clans, when he suddenly heard a loud noise and the iconic hyena-like screams of the jackals.
.
"coming!"
The old man jumped up in excitement, and raised the gun behind his back with a snap. Without his order, the coffin-carrying man and teleportation psychic Lao Guodan immediately moved forward and fired a lighting spell.
The shining light flew into the air and fell along a parabola. Finally, it hovered at an altitude of twenty meters under the influence of psychic energy, illuminating a large area in front of it.
The mine they buried at the end of the battle zone was triggered, and the Jackals who sneaked over were knocked upside down by the explosion. The consequences of accidentally entering the minefield in the dark were very bad. Those Jackals were at a loss, and soon there were more
The mine was triggered.
Unfortunately, although Brother Zhongzhong has the blueprints in his hands, and although Archduke Cuisi also prepared yellow gunpowder with his astonishing alchemy skills, the power of the anti-infantry mines that the arsenal can produce can reach the level of World War I, let alone World War II.
The level is a bit reluctant.
But this cannot be blamed on the inability of the "Agent from Another World". It is entirely because the processing accuracy is not up to standard.
This is a hard condition, and Brother Zhongzhong doesn’t have any good options.
Fortunately, Murphy got a large number of production lines from Su Ke Feilun, and Zhong Zhong planned to use those things to achieve "industrial upgrading" of his arsenal.
"Vampire Flying Team! Enter!"
Lao Qin shouted in the team framework, and the vampire players flew into the night sky. Although they didn't have anything crazy like aerial bombs strapped to them, things like explosive bombs and incendiary bottles were still enough.
Flying at high speed and hovering over the jackals who were beginning to advance suddenly, they smashed down all the explosive objects, causing more chaos in the constant explosions and flying flames. The newbies hiding in the trenches subconsciously
He tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand.
They watched with wide eyes as the ignited jackals howled and rushed forward in the dark night. It turned out that the barrier trench dug by Mr. Qin was effective. In addition to the jackals riding the wolf, those "monster infantry" could jump over.
"It will be blocked in front of the defensive trench and then harvested by the automatic hunting crossbow and the player's marksman.
They also heard the muffled sound of the small barrels on the high ground amidst the cheers of the "Iron Barrel Boys". In the piercing screams, grenades hit the front one after another, creating explosions and flames. The hits were not necessarily accurate.
, but the explosion effect in the dark is great.
They saw those veteran players hiding in the dark leisurely pulling the trigger, or quietly drawing their swords in the dark, ruthlessly and accurately harvesting lives with malicious intent.
This series of changes made the newcomers feel powerful, and their fears were dispelled.
The gnolls in front of them are breaking into their death trap. They are struggling, and every step forward has to pay a price!
Pooh!
What about elite creatures?
Is it different to die if you are hit by the fragmentation grenade launched by the iron tube boys? You will be weak if you lose too much blood, and you will be scared when you are in danger. In front of this death position created by them personally, you have no power to wreak havoc wildly.
This is the first time for newbies to truly participate in this "war game" that is full of smoke and so real.
There is no need to say more about the excitement.
"Why are you still standing there? Take aim with your gun!"
These guys were so excited that they didn't realize that the Jackal cavalry who jumped over the barrier trench had already rushed to a distance of more than 100 meters from the trench. It took Lao Qin's extremely stressful roar to get the newbies to move.
, they hurriedly set up all kinds of muskets in their hands on the trenches.
The opponent's formation is completely messed up, and now they are just relying on the idea of surging in to fight in close combat. Probably the gnolls feel that these cowardly Transians who only dare to hide and fire from a distance have no guts to fight them in close combat.
"Fire!"
"boom"
Lao Qin was the first to shoot while kneeling on the high ground. The bullet missed and hit the foot of a jackal. This made Lao Qin very embarrassed. He looked around guiltily and then remembered that no one was watching at night.
Until you fail.
But the newbies played very accurately.
Their round of shooting knocked over a quarter of the dozens of Jackal cavalry that rushed over. The specially modified gold-burning bullets were amazingly powerful, especially those shooters who used Transia's homemade firearms. They were at this distance.
As long as you aim accurately, you can definitely take away the rough-skinned and fleshy jackals.
The penetrating power and cavity effect of pointed bullets are no joke. They are much more destructive than spherical incendiary bullets at medium and long ranges.
The only regret is that the firearms on this continent have not been developed to the level of automatic weapons, and Transia is unable to produce its own semi-automatic weapons, so most firearms require reloading time.
Don't expect how fast the newbies can reload, especially if it's their first time on the battlefield. Just be thankful that you don't panic.
Lao Qin clearly saw that there was an idiot in the trench who was so nervous that he couldn't insert the bullet into the gun chamber, and had to be helped by the people next to him. This made him madly complain in his heart that this game was too realistic and not good.
ah.
When encountering a guy with poor psychological quality, it is really easy to be confused in such a real battlefield environment.
"Lumina! The gnoll infantry has come around from the flank! Give those warg cavalry to the melee group. You change the target and attack the infantry. Remember to put them within 100 meters before firing!"
Lao Qin shouted to the "heavy machine gunners" on the high ground, and he rushed down from the high ground, attaching a bayonet to his gun on the way, obviously intending to experience the bloody hand-to-hand combat with a bayonet again.
And the next second, he once again saw the scene of steam engineering weapons firing in this world.
There is no rhythmic low and dull sound like a heavy machine gun. Instead, it has a lighter sound like a tearing machine. But amid the hum of the miniature steam furnace and the high-speed rotation of the lever structure, the special arrows shot from the muzzle are
The penetrating power is no worse than that of burning gold ammunition.
The hunting crossbow controlled by Lumina is like playing a game of target shooting and mowing grass. It cooperates with the firearms of other machine gun positions to perform long and short bursts of fire in a rhythmic manner. After an arrow nest is emptied, the jackal infantry rushing towards the trench will
They were all killed in a circle, and the worg cavalry that rushed up screaming were easily eliminated by the melee group headed by Niu Niu and Cat Brother.
The remaining gnolls were already stupid.
They were lying alone next to the bodies of their companions, as if they still hadn't figured out what happened.
asshole!
This is completely different from the position situation that damn Popok said. That bastard deceived the Overseer! Such horrific firepower and death traps are simply not something that the legendary cowardly Transians can pull off.
"Blow the horn! Charge!"
When Lao Qin saw that the jackals in the rear had turned around and fled, he knew that the situation was safe. He gave the order, and the familiar charge horn sounded immediately, and Mengxin, who was hiding in the trench, also knew that the time had come.
One by one, they excitedly grabbed the melee weapons at hand, jumped out howling, and under the leadership of the veteran players began to hunt down the fleeing gnolls, just like hunting wild boars, chasing those who had lost their courage.
We don't stop until we reach the border of the war zone.
Looking at the backs of those gnolls riding on wargs, howling and escaping like cowards, the players on the battlefield cheered to celebrate tonight's victory.
Frankly speaking, not many Jackals were killed in this battle. After all, the battlefield in the Blood Flag Highlands is not very wide, and there are not many Jackals attacking tonight. But this battle is of great significance. This is Lao Qin's
The second battle group defeated the gnolls in the first battle without any injuries.
It fully proves that Lao Qin's defensive strategy is correct.
This made Lao Qin, who was cheered by the players, also feel a little embarrassed, feeling in his heart that he was still a treasured sword.
However, the slap in the face came quickly.
In the early hours of the morning, another group of gnolls organized another sneak attack, this time including a team of elites and a silver warlord.
Lao Qin still followed the previous tactics, but although he had been in the game for a long time, he still had not adjusted his mentality and did not understand the decisive role that a "super individual" could play on such a small battlefield.
That damn silver jackal led a dozen elite black irons to fight all the way through the trenches. Lumina's hunting crossbow couldn't kill that guy. In the end, it was Cat Brother and four brothers who pounced on him with brutal close combat.
Killed that guy.
But this mistake caused the newbie in the trenches to lose more than twenty people at one time. The scene was really tragic.
"Ah, so that's it!"
At dawn, Lao Qin, who had fought bloody battles all night, sat on the edge of the high ground exhausted.
While he was watching the players around him throwing the severed gnoll heads under the skull tower in the highlands, he was also watching the second battle group have reached more than 800 support points after three battles yesterday. After thinking about it, he
The commander seemed to understand the key all of a sudden.
"These specific NPC summons are used to offset the opponent's individual advantages! Although they can only exist for one rotation of battles, which seems to be a disadvantage, only powerful enough NPCs are here to prevent the opponent's strong individuals from completing the solo adventure.
array situation.
This is an operational game!
How cunning.”
He complained to himself, but the old corpse witch Baldwin beside him just shook his head. It's not that his friend from another world didn't understand, he just got into the trap of empiricism.
It did not interfere with Lao Qin's command and thinking, nor did it give suggestions.
In fact, the corpse witch was recalling the wonderful harmless defense on this position last night. It had to admit that the tactics of these foreigners were simple and practical, especially the combination of trenches and firepower, which almost gave Baldwin this number.
The old undead from a hundred years ago opened a door to war.
Look at these "arrogant" Transians on the battlefield!
They fought two battles against 500 jackals in the dark last night and won two battles. Only more than 20 recruits died, but they acted as if they had lost the entire game.
This result would be a victory banquet for any army, but they were particularly dissatisfied. It is really hard to imagine what kind of army these guys were using as a reference for victory?
Well, you could even call it "arrogant".
As for the problem of "Flowing AI" posting random pictures in this chapter, it was reported yesterday. I don't know if it can be dealt with as soon as possible. I don't know where these things came from, but they have obviously ruined the reading experience of many brothers, so
If you still can't find a solution, you can only resort to banning.
