Chapter 590 589.The Meat Grinder Officially Opens

After the first regiment retreated back to its position, the defenders of Black Flame Pass didn’t even have time to be shocked by the terrifying will to fight of these Transylvanians before they saw more than 500 men of the second regiment stepping on the corpses and blood on the ground with a kind of indescribable “excitement”, taking over from their compatriots and once again defending the high ground.

But Badger’s prediction before he went offline for a suicide break was correct.

On the afternoon of the day that the second regiment stood up, a second wave of harassment attacks from the jackals in the nearby area was welcomed, and the battle ended in the evening when the second regiment had one-sixth of its men killed in a single battle.

Many excited newcomers rushed up to try to fight with the jackals and didn’t even survive more than thirty seconds before receiving the box meal, obviously personal force in this kind of chaotic large-scale fighting is very difficult to get to play, not to mention that the newcomers who entered the game only a few days ago don’t have any “personal force” this thing to speak of.

Many of them even did not master the basic skills were thrown into the “deathmatch”, not to mention elite monsters, even ordinary jackals do not even need to slash, just wait for them to scream and rushed over, casually a knife can break the move, the second knife directly sent away.

This embarrassing way of death so that newcomers in the forums shouted no game experience, but the old players are not spoiled them, but whenever someone barks, followed by a “rookie chicken” honorary title will be sent on the spot, as well as the gluttony party the first time to come to ridicule.

It’s not that the old players are bullying the newcomers, but there is a reason for it.

People second war group of the first battle is not all newborns are dead, those who listen to the commander of the Qin order in the battle before the start of the trench dug, and has been patient to stay in the inside until the launch of the counterattack to join the battle of newborns have survived.

And basically everyone of them made a kill in the final stage of the counterattack stranglehold.

In addition to the unlucky ones, all of them belonged to the category of “disorganized and undisciplined”, which proved that disobeying orders in this kind of large-scale defensive regimental battles could only lead to sending people’s heads for nothing.

This is the unique battle method of the second war group.

Master Qin had learned the lessons of the first group, and had divided the veteran players into groups before he entered the Blood Banner Heights, arranging for those responsible for assault, defense, long-distance harvesting, and healing to be in charge of all of them.

In the first battle group and the first defense into the position, master Qin’s first order is to ask not assigned to the specific task of the newborn began to dig trenches around the plateau, this is his preparation for the newborn “big gift” and “the first lesson”.

Since there is no individual force, let’s replace it with the obedience of the collective organization.

They had practiced a few times in advance in those crisscrossing trenches on the Maginot Line, and had a basic impression of trench warfare.

Unlike Brother Woo Meow who relied on his loud voice for on-the-spot command as well as eye contact, Old Qin had set up several fixed areas for the high ground, and he had concentrated all the barrels and players who were good at using this stuff as artillery positions on the high ground, giving most of the explosives to the players who had the hunter and ranger professions and had been placed in the first layer of trenches to provide fire support.

He also planned to dig a second ring of trenches as a denial trench after the first day’s battle, to be used to block the Jackals’ extremely fast Seatwolf raids.

Considering that the Jackals would only be attacking from one direction in front at the moment, it seemed to Old Qin that as long as they were properly coordinated, the remaining men under his command right now would definitely be able to hold out.

Obviously, the 2nd Battle Regiment was preparing to set up the Blood Flag Highland as a multi-layered trench defense line with cross-fire, and Old Qin, a veteran who had been getting younger and younger lately, wanted to turn this place into a “meat grinder”.

He didn’t do it on a whim, but during the few days that the first regiment was defending the heights, Mr. Qin made a special trip back to Transylvania National Arsenal and swept away all the spare explosives that Loyalist was holding.

He definitely came prepared.

“Three days!”

In the smoke that followed the end of the first engagement, Old Qin stood on the high ground leaning on his Mosin-Nagant as he shouted with a serious face to the players watching him from below:

“My request is that we must defend for a full three days! This is the bottom line, one more day beyond this is all we earn, I know it’s hard, but a mission is a mission! There is no room for bargaining.

The Second Battle Regiment will either complete the mission or lie down and be carried out by the brother units!

I know there are still many who don’t obey my command. That’s fine! If you don’t obey, you can leave and wait in the 1st or 3rd regiment.

I don’t want those disobedient guys here!
Our second regiment has the most newbies, but in my opinion that’s not a bad thing, the old players are used to being free spirited and they have their own way of fighting, but the bloody example of the first regiment proves that their way of doing things doesn’t work well in a real war!
I’ll teach you how to fight, if you’re willing to learn.

Now on my orders, finish digging the denial trenches before the next wave of jackals comes! Pro!”

“In!”

The Tiger Leopard Cavalry-Pro who was called by name gave a jolt and came forward to stand there straight, Old Qin signaled that he didn’t need to do a military salute and instead said sternly:

“You are an engineer by trade, I asked you to take a team of people to lay mines in the area at the end of the engagement zone, I brought 800 anti-infantry mines, a test product of the improved process from the arsenal side, this time I was entrusted to bring it here to see the effect of actual combat.

Although those guys are very rough with their hands, and this thing has a lot of problems, but it barely works.

Remember to use it sparingly.”

“Yes, sir!”

Pro’s spirit was energized, and he immediately picked a few people to follow him, and then Old Qin designated a few others to assign them different tasks.

So the whole Blood Banner Heights in the command of the old Qin quickly busy up, the old Qin himself hung a binoculars for himself, carrying a gun in the position patrol, that walking the appearance of the dragon walk at all do not see that he in reality still have to sit in a wheelchair.

It’s like returning to his youthful days, as if he were going to the battlefield for the first time.

“These six Halfling rapid-fire guns were supported by the quartermaster under Lord Heather’s command, Master Qin.”

On both sides of the high ground, Lumina, who had been organized into the Second Battle Regiment, was leading a few budding soldiers there to install heavy automatic hunting crossbows, which she had used before, so she was impressed.

Seeing Old Qin turn around, Lumina took the initiative to introduce him:
“That Quartermaster said that we fought well, so he gave us a small quest, his only request was for us to kill a few more jackal pups, his brother died at the hands of a jackal. It was a random mission to take out 100 jackals with these six rapid-fire guns he backed us up with, I think it’s a piece of cake.”

“Will this thing work?”

Old Qin muttered at the sight of the weirdly bulky crossbow.

He had entered the game late and hadn’t seen this kind of halfling mechanical creation, but after hearing Lumina’s explanation, he had a feeling that it was about as useful as a heavy machine gun, so he rubbed his chin and looked at it, reassigning two positions to Lumina.

And gave the young man a face to face saying:
“You put two on the left side, rack one at the top, and place the remaining three on the trench, so that’s a standard crossfire, and with the terrain as it is now, they can easily block off the front.

When the jackals are forced to a halt by the denial trenches, don’t show any mercy when I tell you to fire! If this thing is as powerful as you guys say it is, then the melee group will be under a lot less pressure.

Little girl, since you have experience, you’ll be in charge of these halfling rapid-fire guns!”

“Huh? Me, good!”

Lumina had long wanted to reminisce about the glorious days when she used this thing to fight vampires in the Scarlet Fortress, and now that she heard Master Qin give the task, she immediately straightened her back and did a military salute.

Old Qin hemmed and hawed and went to the position a few more times with his hands behind his back, seeing that the sun was about to set, his heart slowly lifted up.

When he was in Transylvania, he had studied the battle style of the Jackals through the previous instances of the Black Plague, and although these guys didn’t have the same bonuses as the vampires at night, they moved very fast and had dark vision, so they very much liked to engage in night battles.

It was good that Pro had already completed his mission at this time, 200 Monkey Version Anti-Infantry Mines had already been buried in the open space at the end of the engagement area by him with his men.

“Everyone switch to Burning Gold Ammunition!”

Old Qin gave a new order, which was obviously because he had already confirmed that the Jackals would definitely come to steal the camp tonight so he told the players to get ready.

The old soldier’s premonition proved to be accurate.

An hour after nightfall, Old Qin was holding a copy of the General History of Transylvania and studying the grudges and feuds between the vampire clans when he suddenly heard a loud bang and the Jackal’s trademark screams like a hyena.

“Incoming!”

The old man jumped up with a jolt and raised the gun behind his back with a swish, and without needing him to give an order, the Back Coffin Man and Teleportation Spiritualist Honest Dog Egg, who was on the high ground, immediately shot a lighting spell forward.

The glittering ball of light flew into the air and fell along the parabola, and finally hovered at a height of twenty meters in the effect of psychic energy, illuminating a large area in front of him.

The mines they had planted at the end of the engagement area were triggered, the jackals who had sneaked over had already been blown up, the fate of mistakenly entering a minefield in the darkness was very bad, those jackals were unable to move forward and backward, and soon more mines were triggered.

Unfortunately, although Brother Loyalty had the drawings in his hands, although the astounding alchemy of the Tris Grand Communal had also prepared yellow gunpowder, however, the power of the anti-infantry mines that the arsenal could produce, not to mention catching up with the Second World War, was a bit reluctant to touch the level of the First World War.

But this can not be blamed on the “otherworldly agents” is not powerful, is not up to standard processing precision. This is a mandatory condition, and Brother Loyalty does not have a good solution.

Fortunately, Murphy got a large batch of production lines from Sulphur Flywheel, and Brother Loyalty intends to use those things to realize “industrial upgrading” for his own arsenal.

“Vampire Flight! Attack!”

Old Qin shouted in the team frame, and the vampire players whooshed into the night sky, although they didn’t have the kind of crazy stuff like aerial bombs strapped to their bodies, they still had enough stuff like explosive bombs and incendiary bottles.

At high speed, they flew over and hovered over the jackals who were starting to piggyback, slamming everything they could into the air, causing more chaos in the constant explosions and flames, and the newcomers hiding in the trenches subconsciously gripped their weapons in their hands one by one.

They watched with wide eyes as those ignited jackals screamed and lunged forward in the darkness of the night, the fact that Master Qin dug the trench proved to be useful, with the exception of jackals riding seat wolves that could jump over, those “monster infantry” would be blocked in front of the trench and then be reaped by the crazy fire of the automatic hunting crossbows and the player’s sharpshooters.

They also heard the muffled sound of small barrels on the high ground amidst the cheers of the “barrel boys”, and in the ear-splitting whistling, a grenade slammed into the front of the field, creating explosions and fire, which may not be accurate, but the effect of the explosions in the darkness of the night was very good.

They saw the veteran players hiding in the darkness idly pulling their triggers, or quietly drawing their knives in the darkness, ruthlessly and precisely harvesting a life with malice in it.

The flurry of changes made the budding players feel empowered, and thus fear was dispelled.

Those jackals in front of them were breaking into their death trap, and they were struggling to move forward, paying a price for every step they took!
Ugh!
So what if they were elite creatures?
Doesn’t getting hit by a fragmentation grenade fired by the Barrel Boys kill them just as much? Weakened by blood loss and frightened by danger, there was little power that could rage wildly in the face of this position of death that had been molded by their own hands.

This is the first time that the newcomers are really involved in this kind of “war game” which is full of smoke and so real.

The excitement is simply needless to say.

“What are you waiting for? Raise your guns and aim!”

These guys were just focusing on the excitement, they didn’t realize that the jackal cavalry that jumped over the refusal trench had already rushed to the vicinity of more than a hundred meters from the trench, and it took Old Qin’s roar that gave a great deal of pressure to get the newcomers to move, and they hurriedly set up all kinds of muskets in their hands on top of the trench.

The other side of the formation is completely disorganized, and now just rely on the idea of surging over to the melee to win in the dead, probably the jackals think that these only dare to hide far away from the fire of the cowardly Transylvanians do not have the guts to fight with them in close combat.

“Fire!”

“Bang.”

Old Qin was the first to fire from a kneeling position on the high ground, and the bullet missed and hit a jackal’s foot, which made Old Qin very embarrassed, and somewhat sheepishly looked around before remembering that it was night and no one had seen him miss.

But the munchkins hit the right spot.

Their round of shooting knocked over a quarter of the dozens of jackal cavalry that rushed over, the specially dressed gold burning bullets were amazingly powerful, especially those shooters using Transylvanian homemade firearms, they could definitely take away the thick skinned jackals at this distance as long as their aim was accurate.

The penetrating power and cavity effect of the pointed bullet was no joke, and it was much more destructive than the spherical gold-burning bullets at medium and long distances.

The only unfortunate thing was that firearms on this continent had not been developed to the extent of automatic weapons, and Transylvania had no way to produce its own semi-automatic weapons, resulting in most of them needing time to fill.

Don’t expect the munchkins to be able to fill them as fast as they can, especially if it’s their first time on the battlefield and they’re already thankful if they can’t panic themselves.

Old Qin clearly saw a fool in the trench was too nervous, die will not be able to put the bullet into the chamber, but also have to help the person next to it, which makes him in his heart crazy vomit this game made too real is not good ah.

Encountering guys with poor mental quality, in such a real battlefield environment is really easy to get confused.

“Lumina! The Jackal infantry is coming around from the flank! Leave those Seatwolf cavalry to the melee group, you guys change targets to hit the infantry and remember to put them within 100 meters before firing!”

Old Qin shouted to the “heavy machine gunners” on the high ground, and sprinted down from the high ground himself, loading his own gun with a bayonet on the way, apparently intending to experience a bayonet-to-blood white-knife battle with his own hands.

The next moment, he saw the world’s steam-engineered weapons firing again.

There wasn’t the low muffled sound of a heavy machine gun that was very rhythmic, instead it was on the lighter side like a cloth ripping machine, but with the humming of the miniature steam furnace and the high speed rotation of the lever structure, the penetration of the special arrows that were shot from the muzzle of the gun could be in no way inferior to that of the gold-burning ammunition.

The hunting crossbow maneuvered by Lumina herself was like a game of target shooting and mowing, cooperating with the other firearms at the machine gun position to fire very rhythmic long and short point-blank shots, and after a nest of arrows hit the air, those jackal infantry rushing towards the trench were all made to die in a circle, and the Seatwolf Cavalry who wailed and swooped in were also easily disposed of by the melee group headed by Niu Niu and Cat.

The remaining jackals were already dumbfounded.

They lay alone by the corpses of their companions, seemingly not having figured out what was going on.

Bastard!

This was a completely different situation from the position that that damned Popok had said, that bastard had deceived the Governor! This kind of terrifying firepower and death traps simply couldn’t be a job that the legendary cowardly Transylvanians could pull off whole.

“Blow the horn! Charge!”

Old Qin saw that the jackals in the rear had already turned around and fled and knew that this was a sure thing, he gave an order and the familiar charge horn sounded immediately, and the munchkins languishing in the trenches knew that the time had come.

One by two, they excitedly grabbed their melee weapons and jumped out with a wail, and under the leadership of the old players, they began to chase and kill those fleeing jackals, just like rounding up wild boars, and chased those who had lost their guts all the way to the border of the engagement zone before they stopped.

Looking at the back of those jackals riding on the seat of the wolf crying like a coward to escape, the players on the position cheered to celebrate tonight’s victory.

Frankly speaking, not many Jackals were killed in this battle, after all, the width of the battlefield in Blood Banner Heights wasn’t that big, and there weren’t too many Jackals attacking tonight, but the significance of this battle was great, this was the first battle in which Old Qin’s Second Battle Regiment repelled the Jackals without any injuries.

It fully proved that Old Qin’s defense strategy was correct.

This made Old Qin, who was surrounded and cheered by the players, also somewhat schadenfreude, and in his heart, he lamented that he really was still a treasure.

However, the face-slapping came quickly.

In the wee hours of the morning, another group of Jackals organized another sneak attack, this time with a team of Elites and a Silver Governor mixed in.

Old Qin was still following the same tactics as before, but even though he had been in the game for quite a while, he still hadn’t adjusted his mindset and didn’t understand the decisive role that a “super individual” could play in such a small battlefield.

That damn silver jackal with a dozen elite black iron all the way through the trench, Lumina’s hunting crossbow can not kill that guy, finally or cat with four brothers pounced on the use of grueling melee killed that guy.

But this mistake made the munchkins in the trench reimburse more than twenty at a time, that scene was really tragic.

“Ah, so that’s it!”

At dawn, Old Qin, who had fought bloodily all night, sat wearily by the high ground.

While he watched the players around him throw the severed Jackal heads under the cranial towers of the plateau, and while looking at the Second Battle Group’s support points which had already reached more than eight hundred after the three battles fought yesterday, the old commander, who had returned to his senses, seemed to understand the trick 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 may seem like a loss, only powerful enough NPCs are here to prevent the opposing party’s strong individuals from accomplishing solo breakthroughs.

This is an operation game!
It’s really cunning.”

He spat to himself, but the necromancer beside him, Old Baldwin, just shook his head vigorously; it wasn’t that its otherworldly friend didn’t understand, he was just drilling into empiricism.

It did not interfere with Old Qin’s command or thinking, nor did it give advice.

In fact, this necromancer was reminiscing about that wonderful injury-free defense on this position last night, and it had to admit that the simple and practical tactics of these otherworldly people, especially the use of trenches and firepower pairings, almost pushed open the door to war for Baldwin, an old undead from hundreds of years ago.

Look at these “arrogant” Transylvanians on the ground!
They won two battles against 500 jackals in the dark last night, with only twenty dead recruits, but they act as if they had lost the whole game.

This result would be a victory feast in any army, yet they were particularly unsatisfied, it was hard to imagine what kind of army these guys were using as a reference for victory in their hearts.

It’s hard to imagine what kind of army these guys are using as a reference for their victory… well, you could even call it “arrogance”.

Regarding the “roaming AI” posting 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 come from, but they are obviously ruining the reading experience of many brothers, so if we can’t find a solution, we can only resort to banning them.
