589. The meat grinder was officially opened
After the First War Regiment retreated to its position, the defenders of the Black Flame Pass did not even have time to feel horrified by the terrifying will of these Transian people, and saw more than 500 people of the Second War Regiment step on the corpses and bloody qi all over the ground with an indescribable "excitement" to take over their compatriots and guard the high ground again.
But the "crow's mouth prophecy" before Aru's suicide and offline break was correct.
In the afternoon of the second warband, the second wave of harassment by the jackals in the nearby area was ushered in, and the battle ended in the evening when the second wargroup was wiped out by one-sixth of the men.
A lot of excited newcomers rushed up to try to fight the jackals and didn't even survive more than thirty seconds to get a box lunch.,Obviously, personal force is difficult to play in this chaotic large-scale battle.,Not to mention that the newcomers who have only entered the game in the past few days don't have "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 jackals don't even need to slash, just wait for them to scream and rush over, and they can break the move with one sword, and send the second one away directly.
This embarrassing way of dying made the newcomers shout on the forum that they had no game experience, but the old players were not used to them, but whenever someone barked, and then a "rookie" honorary title was given on the spot, and the craving party rushed to ridicule it as soon as possible.
It's not that the old players are bullying the newcomers, it's mainly for a reason.
Not all the new ones died in the first battle of the second battle group, and those who dug a trench before the battle started on the orders of the commander Qin Ye, and stayed patiently inside until the counterattack was launched, all survived.
And they basically won in the final stage of the counterattack strangulation.
Except for some people who are really unlucky, these guys who hang up basically belong to the kind of "unorganized and undisciplined", and it has been proved that in this kind of large-scale defensive team battle, if you don't obey orders, you can only give away your head in vain.
This is the unique tactics of the Second War Regiment.
Qin Ye fully learned the lesson of the first battle group, and he divided the old players into groups before entering the Blood Banner Heights, and the ones who were responsible for assault, defense, long-range harvesting, and healing were all properly arranged.
After changing guards with the first battle group and entering the position, Qin Ye's first order was to ask Meng Xin, who had not been assigned to a specific task, to start digging trenches around the high ground, which was the "gift package" and "first lesson" he prepared for Meng Xin.
Since there is no individual force, let it be replaced by the obedience of the collective organization.
They had also practiced several times in advance in the criss-crossed trenches of the Maginot Line, and had a basic impression of trench warfare.
Unlike Brother Meow, who relied on his loud voice for on-the-spot command and eye contact, Lao Qin set up several fixed areas on the highlands, and he concentrated all the barrels and players who were good at using this thing on the highlands as artillery positions, and gave most of the explosives to players with hunter and ranger classes, and were placed in the first layer of trenches to provide fire support.
He also planned to dig a second ring of trenches after the first day of fighting to be used as a denial trench to stop the Gnoll's extremely fast wolf assault.
Considering that the current jackals will only attack from one direction in front, in Lao Qin's opinion, as long as they cooperate properly, the remaining people under his command will definitely be able to hold on.
Obviously, the second battle group was preparing to arrange the Blood Banner Heights into a multi-layered trench defense line with crossfire, and Lao Qin, a veteran who had been getting younger and younger recently, wanted to turn this place into a "meat grinder".
He didn't do this on an impromptu basis, during the few days that the First War Regiment was guarding the high ground, Qin Ye made a special trip back to the Transencia National Arsenal and swept away the idle explosives in Brother Zhong's hand.
He definitely came prepared.
"Three days!"
In the smoke after the end of the first battle, Lao Qin stood on the high ground with his Mosin Nagant on his crutches, and he shouted to the players looking at him with a serious face:
"My request is that we must stay for three days! That's the bottom line, we'll all earn it one more day after that, I know it's hard, but the task is the task! There is no room for bargaining.
The second wargroup 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 go, go to the first regiment or the third regiment and wait.
I don't want those disobedient guys here!
Our second regiment has the most newcomers, but in my opinion this is not a bad thing, the old players are used to being free and loose, and they also have their own way of fighting, but the bloody example of the first regiment proves that their set is not good in real war!
I'll teach you how to fight, if you're willing to learn.
Now do my bidding, and finish digging the denial trench before the next wave of gnolls arrives! Pro! ”
"In!"
The tiger and leopard who was called by name rode a spirit, stepped forward and stood there with his waist straight, Lao Qin signaled that he didn't have to do a military salute, but said sternly:
"You are a sapper, I asked you to take a team of people to the end of the combat zone to lay mines, I brought 800 anti-infantry mines, which are experimental products for the improvement of the process at the arsenal, and this time I was asked to bring them over to see the actual combat effect.
Although those guys have rough craftsmanship and a lot of problems with this thing, they barely work.
Don't forget to save money. ”
"Yes!"
Lin perked up, and immediately selected a few people to follow him, and then Lao Qin designated several other people to assign them different tasks.
So the entire Blood Banner Heights was busy under the command of Lao Qin, Lao Qin hung a binoculars for himself, patrolled the position with a gun on his back, and the appearance of walking like a dragon and a tiger couldn't see that he was still in a wheelchair in reality.
It's like returning to the passionate youth all of a sudden, like being on the battlefield for the first time.
"These six halfling rapid-fire guns were supported by the quartermaster under Lord Heather's command, Qin Ye."
On either side of the heights, Lumina, who had been assigned to the Second Warband, was there with a few budding recruits to install heavy auto-hunting crossbows, which she had used before, so she was impressed.
Seeing Lao Qin turn around, Lumina took the initiative to introduce:
"The quartermaster said we had a good fight, so he gave us a small stove, and his only request was that we should kill a few more gnolls, and his brother died at the hands of the gnolls. It's a random mission, and I think it's a piece of cake to take out 100 gnolls with the six rapid-fire guns he supports. ”
"Will this thing work?"
Lao Qin suddenly muttered when he saw this strange-looking and bulky crossbow machine.
He hadn't seen this halfling mechanical creature until he was late in the game, but after hearing Lumina's explanation, he felt that it was similar to a heavy machine gun, so he rubbed his chin and looked at it, and reassigned Lumina two positions.
He also gave the young man a face-to-face lecture and said:
"You put two on the left, one on top, and the remaining three on the trenches, so that's standard crossfire, and with the current terrain, they can easily block the front.
When the gnolls are forced to stop by the refusal trenches, I will let you open fire, and don't be merciful! If this thing is as powerful as you say, the pressure on the melee group will be much less.
Little girl, since you have experience, then you are in charge of these halfling rapid-fire guns! ”
"Huh? Me, good! ”
Lumina had long wanted to reminisce about the glory days when she used this thing to fight vampires in the Scarlet Castle, and now when she heard that Qin Ye had given her a task, she immediately straightened her waist and made a military salute.
Lao Qin smiled, and went to the position with his hands behind his back a few times, seeing that the sun was about to set, his heart slowly lifted.
When he was in Transnesia, he studied the tactics of the Gnolls through the previous Black Plague battles, and although these guys did not have the same bonus as vampires at night, they moved fast and had dark vision, so they were very fond of night fights.
Fortunately, the task had been completed at this time, and 200 monkey anti-infantry mines had been buried in the open space at the end of the combat zone with his people.
"Everybody's got gold ammo!"
Lao Qin gave a new order, which was obviously that he had confirmed that the gnolls would definitely come to steal the camp tonight, so he asked the players to prepare.
As it turned out, the veteran's hunch was accurate.
An hour after dark, Lao Qin was holding a copy of the "General History of Translancia" to study the grievances and feuds between vampire clans, when he suddenly heard a loud bang and the hyena-like signature scream of the jackal.
"It's coming!"
The old man jumped up and raised the gun behind his back with a swoop, and without him giving an order, the coffin man and teleportation psyker on the high ground immediately fired a bolt of illumination forward.
The glittering light flew into the air and fell along a parabola, and finally hovered twenty meters in the air under the effect of psionic energy, illuminating a large area in front of it.
The mines they had planted at the end of the battle zone were triggered, and the gnolls who had sneaked over had already been turned on their backs by the bombers, and the end of straying into the minefield in the dark was very bad, and those gnolls were out of line, and soon more mines were triggered.
It's a pity that although Brother Loyal has the blueprints in his hand, and although Grand Duke Tris has also prepared yellow gunpowder with shocking alchemy, the power of the anti-infantry mines that the arsenal can produce is not to mention catching up with World War II, and it is a little reluctant to reach the level of World War I.
But this can't be blamed on the "Otherworldly Agent" for not being effective, and the processing accuracy is completely substandard.
This is a hard condition, and there is no good way to do it for Brother Loyalty.
Fortunately, Murphy got a large number of production lines from Spho Flywheel, and Brother Loyal planned to use those things to achieve "industrial upgrading" for his arsenal.
"Vampire Flying Squad! Above! ”
Lao Qin shouted in the framework of the team, and the vampire players swished into the night sky, although they didn't have the crazy stuff like a plane bomb, but the explosive bomb and Molotov cocktail were still enough.
Flying over at high speed and hovering over the jackals who began to advance by pigs, smashing everything that could explode downward, causing more chaos in the continuous explosions and flames, the newcomers hiding in the trenches subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands one by one.
They watched with wide eyes as the ignited gnolls screamed and pounced forward in the night, and it turned out that the denial trench dug by Qin Ye was useful, except for the jackals who rode the wolves could jump over, those "monster infantry" would be blocked in front of the denial trench and then harvested by the frantically firing auto-hunting crossbows and the sharpshooters in the players.
They also heard the small barrels on the high ground muffled to the cheers of the "Iron Tube Boys", and in the piercing screams, grenades smashed in front of them to create explosions and fires, which were not necessarily accurate, but the explosion effect in the dark night was very good.
They saw the veteran players hiding in the dark night leisurely pulling the trigger, or quietly drawing their knives in the dark, ruthlessly and accurately harvesting malicious lives.
This series of changes made the newcomers feel empowered, and thus their fears were dispelled.
The gnolls are struggling to break into their death trap, and they are struggling to move forward, and they will pay a price for every step they take!
Bah!
What about elite creatures?
It's not the same to be hit by a fragmentation grenade fired by the Iron Barrel Kids? Losing too much blood will also weaken, and will be afraid of danger, in front of this death position that they have created with their own hands, there is no strength to rage wildly.
This is the first time that the newcomers have really participated in this kind of "war game" that is full of gunpowder and so real.
Needless to say, the excitement is too much.
"What are you doing? Raise your gun and aim! ”
These guys were so excited that they didn't notice that the gnoll cavalry who had jumped over the denial trench had rushed to a distance of more than a hundred meters from the trench, and it was Lao Qin's extremely stressful roar to make the newcomers move, and they hurriedly put all kinds of muskets in their hands on the trench.
The opponent's formation was completely chaotic, and now it was just relying on the idea of rushing over to win the melee victory, probably because the gnolls felt that these cowardly Transans, who only dared to hide from a distance and fire, did not have the courage to fight them in close combat.
"Fire!"
"Bang"
Lao Qin was the first to shoot on the high ground in a kneeling position, and the bullet missed and hit the feet of a jackal, which made Lao Qin very embarrassed, and looked left and right with a little weakness, only then did he remember that it was night when no one saw him miss.
But the newcomers played very accurately.
Their single shot knocked over a quarter of the dozens of gnolls that rushed towards them, and the gold-burning bullets that were specially redressed were incredibly powerful, especially those who used Tellancia's homemade guns, and they could take away the rough-skinned gnolls with a good aim at this distance.
The penetration and cavity effect of the pointed bullet is no joke, and it is much more destructive than the spherical gold bullet at medium and long range.
The only pity is that the guns on this continent have not been developed to the extent of automatic weapons, and Transcia cannot produce its own semi-automatic weapons, resulting in most guns requiring reload time.
Don't expect the newcomers to reload fast, especially when they go to the battlefield for the first time, and thank God that they can not panic.
Lao Qin clearly saw that there was a stupid guy in the trench who was too nervous, and he couldn't stuff the bullet into the chamber of the gun, and he had to be helped by the person next to him, which made him complain in his heart that this game was too real and not good.
When encountering a guy with poor psychological quality, it is really easy to be confused in such a real battlefield environment.
"Lumina! The gnoll's infantry came around from the flanks! Give the wolf cavalry to the melee group, change your aim to hit the infantry, remember to put them within 100 meters before firing! ”
Lao Qin shouted at the "heavy machine gunner" on the high ground, and he hurried down from the high ground, loading his gun with a bayonet on the way, obviously planning to experience a bloody white-knuckle battle with a bayonet with his own hands.
And in the next second, he saw the scene of this world's steam engineering weapons firing again.
Instead of the rhythmic muffled sound of a heavy machine gun, it was more of a ramp-up like a ripper, but with the hum of a miniature steam oven and the high-speed rotation of the lever structure, the penetration of a special arrow fired from the muzzle was no worse than that of gold-burning ammunition.
The hunting crossbow controlled by Lumina herself was like a game of target mowing, cooperating with the firearms of other machine gun positions to carry out rhythmic long and short bursts, and after an arrow nest was empty, the gnolls who rushed to the trench were killed in a circle, and the wolf cavalry who screamed and pounced was easily solved by the melee group led by Niu Niu and Mao Ge.
The remaining gnolls are already stupid.
They lay alone beside the corpses of their companions, seemingly unfathomable to what had happened.
Bastard!
It's nothing like what that damn Popock said about the position, that bastard deceived the Overseers! This terrifying firepower and death trap could not possibly be the life of the legendary cowardly Translansian.
"Blow the trumpet! Charge! ”
Lao Qin saw that the gnolls in the rear had turned around and fled, and knew that this matter was stable, and he gave an order, and the familiar charge horn sounded immediately, and the budding newcomers in the trenches also knew that the time had come.
One by one, they excitedly grabbed the melee weapons at hand, jumped out with a scream, and began to chase down the fleeing gnolls under the leadership of the veteran players, like hunting wild boars, chasing those who had lost their courage until the border of the combat zone.
Looking at the backs of the gnolls running away like cowards on the wolves, the players on the battlefield cheered and celebrated the victory tonight.
Frankly speaking, there are not many gnolls killed in this battle, after all, the width of the battlefield in the Blood Flag Heights is not large, and there are not many gnolls attacking tonight, but this battle is of great significance, this is the first battle in which Lao Qin's second battle group repelled the gnolls without injury.
It fully proved that Lao Qin's defensive strategy was correct.
This made Lao Qin, who was cheered by the players, also a little Shi Shiran, and sighed in his heart that he was really still a treasure sword.
However, the slap in the face came quickly.
In the wee hours of the morning, another group of gnolls organized another sneak attack, this time with a team of elites and a Silver Overseer.
Lao Qin still followed the previous tactics, but although he had been in the game for a long time, he still hadn't adjusted his mentality, and he didn't understand the decisive role that a "super individual" could play in such a small battlefield.
That damn silver jackal took a dozen elite black iron all the way through the trench, and Lumina's hunting crossbow couldn't kill the guy, and in the end, it was the cat brother who pounced on him with his four brothers and killed the guy with a tragic melee fight.
But this mistake made the sprouts in the trenches reimburse more than 20 at a time, and the scene was really tragic.
"Ah, I see!"
At dawn, Lao Qin, who had fought bloodily all night, sat on the edge of the high ground tiredly.
While watching the players around him throw the severed heads of the gnolls under the skull towers in the high ground, and watching the second wargroup reach more than 800 support points in three battles yesterday, the old commander seemed to understand the key at once.
"These specific NPC summons are used to negate the opponent's individual strengths! Although they can only exist in one rotation battle, which seems to be a loss, only a strong enough NPC is here to avoid the situation where the opponent's strong individual completes the solo battle.
It's an ops game!
It's cunning. ”
He complained to himself, but the corpse witch Old Baldwin beside him just shook his head vigorously, his otherworldly friend didn't understand, but just drilled the horns of empiricism.
It did not interfere with Lao Qin's command and thinking, nor did it give advice.
In fact, the corpse witch was reminiscing about the brilliant unwounded defense of the position last night, and it had to admit that the simple and practical tactics of these foreigners, especially the combination of trenches and firepower, almost opened the door to war for Baldwin, an old undead from hundreds of years ago.
Look at these "arrogant" Translancians on the front!
They had won two battles with five hundred gnolls in the dark of night last night, and only killed more than twenty recruits, but they acted as if they had lost the whole game.
This result is a celebration in any army, but they are especially not satisfied, it is really hard to imagine what kind of army these guys are using as a reference for victory?
Well, you can even call it "arrogance".
Regarding the problem of the "wandering AI" random picture in this chapter,It was reported yesterday.,I don't know if I can deal with it as soon as possible.,I don't know where these things come from.,But they're obviously ruining the reading experience of a lot of brothers.,So if you can't get a way.,You'll have to take a ban.。
