Chapter 152: The Battle of Langfang (Part II)
Western players are willing to participate in this mission, because even if the coalition forces fail, the loss is not large, and if they are blocked by Chinese players, they will be wiped out. Every Western player understands this, and after Zorro said he would ask Seymour for credit, more than 200 players soon came forward to say they were willing to break off.
The more than 200 players who came out were all Germans, armed with brand-new Mauser G98 rifles, and each of them had been trained at a military academy before coming to China. Despite being in the game, they were proud to be the number one German army in this era, so they took the initiative to take on the task of breaking off under the leadership of a player named Manstein.
The number of players participating in the coalition in the West is only half of that of Chinese players, because of the different places of birth, the resources enjoyed by players from the Great Powers in the early stage are much stronger than those of Huaxia. It is expensive for Chinese players to buy guns and ammunition, and players of the Great Powers can get enough ammunition as long as they do some small tasks, and it is far easier to get good guns than Chinese players, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of Chinese players.
More than 200 German players quickly relied on the terrain to start defense, and the other players, led by Zorro, cooperated with Seymour's NPC coalition to launch a fierce attack on the Chinese players who stood in the way.
Chen Hao had already prepared for this, and more than 900 Chinese players relied on the trenches to start a fierce battle with the players of the great powers with stronger individual soldier quality. In addition to heavy machine gun bunkers, the fortifications that Chen Hao prevented from arranging were mainly trenches, and before the invention of mortars, enemy trenches with superior firepower were the best way to defend against them.
Seymour's coalition forces carried rapid-fire cannons but there were not many of them, and the artillery had been lost when Nie Shicheng's cavalry was busy fleeing, so they had no good way to deal with the trenches.
The coalition has more firepower, but the Chinese players have the advantage of terrain, and they will not want to rush out for a while. On the other side, the Boxer players and NPCs were also constantly charging, but more than 200 German players relied on their firepower to resist desperately, and they also failed to break through the interception.
Generally speaking, the coalition forces are in a state of flanking from the front and rear, and if it weren't for the weak combat effectiveness of the Boxer NPCs, there would be no suspense in this battle at all. The player led by Chen Hao faced an army of more than 4,000 people, and as long as they could hold out until the Boxers were flanked, they could win the battle.
Ten minutes passed, and the Boxers still did not break through the German interception, mainly because the players with guns were unwilling to give their lives. Players who participated in the Boxer Rebellion did not know the situation on the other side, and they preferred to let the NPCs with broadswords and spears take the lead and take the position, rather than risk their own risks.
If players who join the Boxers are willing to fight to open a gap first, the Boxer NPCs can play a huge role in white-knuckle wartime. It's just that players do tasks to earn experience points, and no one wants to hang up when attacking, so that more than 200 German players can create miracles to resist several times the number of boxers.
The Great Powers players are fighting for the lead, because they know that if they can't break through, they will be wiped out. Zorro's prestige is very high, and he told the players involved in the mission that this is the first battle of the coalition's invasion of China, and whoever is afraid of hanging up and does not work hard will definitely become the object of ridicule on the forum later.
The team of players led by Chen Hao was under tremendous pressure, and more than a hundred players had been hung up in ten minutes, but no one flinched. Nie Shicheng gave Chen Hao the right to release tasks on his behalf, and Chen Hao's reward for killing experience points was very high, even if the player who hung up would be compensated after being resurrected.
Zorro transferred the captain to a player with the Assault perk, and also had that player appoint a Vice-Captain with the Assault perk. Under the increase of the double strong attack stunt, the players of the great powers get a great increase when attacking, which to a certain extent cancels out the defensive advantage of the Chinese players.
Chen Hao's commander stunt has no effect on defense, but he didn't give the captain to others, and finally convinced the player, and if he handed over the captain to someone else's command, it would not be so smooth. He appointed a vice-captain who had a defensive commander stunt that would help with defense.
The passers-by who were fishing quietly lay in the bunker, and the heavy machine gun bunker was placed on the side according to Chen Hao's arrangement. Seeing that the army of the great powers was almost close to the trench, he was very anxious, but he still patiently did not fire.
According to the boss's arrangement, his heavy machine gun was the key to this battle, and he could only fire after receiving orders.
In order to be an example, Chen Hao has been staying on the front line, because the latent attribute is very high, he has not hung up. Seeing that the team of players of the Great Powers rushed in front of the NPC and became the main force of the attack, he immediately asked the player in charge of transmitting the message next to him to notify the passers-by who were fishing to fire, because the combat effectiveness of the coalition players was stronger than that of the NPC, and the battle was basically over after solving the player.
After the signal soldier left, Chen Hao took out a big knife from his jacket and shouted: "Brothers, prepare for white-knuckle fighting, we have no advantage in marksmanship with these foreign devils, but they are definitely not our opponents in martial arts." ”
Many players laughed, just like Chen Hao said, even if the free attribute points in the Huaxia region are not added to the fighting, they like to learn a few tricks to defend themselves in the game. Compared with the Great Power players, the Chinese players will definitely not suffer a loss in white-knuckle combat, and the Great Power players will not add free attribute points to the fighting in the early stage due to the abundance of bullets.
"Da-da-da-da."
The heavy machine guns on the side began to roar, and the dense bullets fired fiercely at the charging coalition forces, stunning the coalition players all at once. After attacking for a long time, the enemy had no machine guns, so they confidently and boldly charged in a dense formation, and when they were about to take the position, the Maxim heavy machine guns on the flanks suddenly opened fire, and immediately caused them to fall in pieces.
It wasn't just the Maxim heavy machine gun that was ambushed on the side, there were also more than two dozen players armed with fast guns, who also pulled the trigger after the heavy machine gun started firing. Since the coalition players were defenseless, they suffered heavy losses as they rushed forward, killing hundreds of people in just one minute.
With the support of heavy machine guns on the flank, Chen Hao, who was defending on the front, organized fire again, and it was impossible for the coalition forces to take the position. In desperation, Zorro could only order the players to retreat, and just as they were retreating like a tide, Chen Hao waved his broadsword and jumped out of the trench first.
Players with high fighting skills followed Chen Hao one after another, perhaps due to the influence of film and television dramas, Chinese players don't like bayonets and have a bad taste for using big knives.
The players who were retreating didn't notice that the enemy had launched a counter-charge, and when they reacted, the broadsword team led by Chen Hao was only ten meters away from them. The Colt in Chen Hao's hand fired continuously and killed several players from the Great Powers, and after crashing into the group of players, he collected his pistol and swung his broadsword to cut off the head of a player. Now he is so-so and a master of martial arts, and he is a must-kill against opponents below 50 in white-knuckle combat, and he has killed more than a dozen Western players in a short time.
Since the two sides were fighting together, the guns did not work, and Zorro had to order a bayonet fight. The coalition players fought hard to resist, but because they were not good at fighting, they were at a disadvantage because they had the advantage in numbers.
Seymour is an admiral, where has he seen such a scene, and the coalition NPCs he leads lack the courage to fight in a white-knuckle battle. After seeing the Inhumans start a white-knuckle battle, he did not order to join the warband, but took the NPC army to cooperate with the players after the German army was broken to defend.
So far in the battle, there are only more than 100 German players left after the break, and with the NPC army led by Seymour joining, the pressure is greatly reduced. It's just that the German army commander Manstein is not grateful at all, and he can't wait to shoot Seymour, a waste NPC.
The coalition forces could only escape if they took the position, and at the critical moment, Seymour did not participate in the white-knuckle battle to fight a bloody way, but instead strengthened the defense. If Zorro's players can't take the position, even if Seymour resists the enemy behind him, the coalition will also be wiped out.
No matter how unhappy Manstein is, there is no way, Seymour is the commander of the coalition forces, and all players must listen to his command when the NPC issues the mission. At this time, Manstein can only pin his hopes on Zorro, hoping that the players led by Zorro can win the white-knuckle battle and thus open a bloody road.
The broadsword team led by Chen Hao are all players who are fighting more than 50 times, and more than 100 people are divided into more than 20 groups, constantly slashing the enemy. Zorro took the bayonet of his rifle and led several players to rush to kill, only to find that these Chinese players were very strong in white-knuckle combat, and he lost three of his men to stab an enemy to death.
Zorro knew that white-knuckle combat was not cheap, but he had no choice but to shout loudly for players to work in groups of three to deal with the advantages of the Huaxia in white-knuckle combat.
Just as Zorro was shouting, Chen Hao discovered his existence, and after he swung his broadsword and killed more than ten players in a row, he came to Zorro, and the Yanling knife was raised high and slashed at Zorro.
Zorro raised the barrel of the gun and tried to resist, but the cutting attribute of the Yanling knife appeared, and when the barrel of the gun was cut, it also slashed Zorro. Zorro fell to the ground with blood on his face, and Chen Hao stepped forward to make up for it, killing the captain of the coalition player reserve.
"Player Chen Baxian, congratulations on killing Zorro, the captain of the reserve team of the Eight-Nation Alliance, your reputation attribute +1, and you have gained 100 merit points."
Merit points are a good thing, players get merit points when they participate in missions, and they can play a role if they want to be promoted or something in the future. Killing a Coalition Reserve Captain gives you 100 merit points, and what reward will you get if you kill Seymour, the commander of the coalition forces?
Chen Hao began to pay attention to the allied officers, and after discovering that his own white-knuckle battle had the upper hand, he led the broadsword team to rush and fight fiercely, rushing towards the direction of the Seymour coalition army that was resisting the attack of the Boxers. The coalition players knew that the total annihilation of this battle was inevitable, and they didn't have any good feelings about Seymour, the commander of the coalition NPCs, and they didn't even bother to block the Chinese players who rushed over.
Chen Hao led the broadsword team to the back of the coalition forces smoothly, and was about to attack from behind when he suddenly heard a few gunshots. He hurriedly lay on the ground, and looked up to see that several players of the Great Knife Team had been shot, and not far away, dozens of players from the Great Power were rushing in this direction.
