Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1889: Wolves Among the Sheep
With a command from the goblin general, cannons and guns roared from the goblin positions in an instant!

Even with an impenetrable fortress, the Destroyer mechs alone would find themselves in a very passive position if the enemy got close.

Therefore, the goblin troops here have naturally made ample preparations to prevent close-range attacks.

Almost immediately upon receiving the order, the goblin machine gunners began skillfully operating their heavy machine guns and unleashing their firepower.

The fire lines spewed from heavy machine guns intertwined, forming a dense network of fire that covered Zhou Chongshan as he charged forward.

This is no small feat!
Faced with such a formidable force, Zhou Chongshan dared not be careless, dodging and weaving throughout the entire attack.

At the same time, a loud explosion suddenly came from one of the Destroyer mechs that was unleashing its firepower.

"what happened?!"

The explosion was not far from where the goblin general was, and the noise startled him, who initially thought that their mechs had malfunctioned.

After all, since it entered the battlefield, the Destroyer mech has been unleashing its firepower with high-intensity artillery fire. It is not impossible that it would explode due to overheating.

Almost as soon as the thought crossed his mind, a series of booming sounds began to assault the goblin general's eardrums.

"It's artillery fire! It's enemy artillery fire!!"

The goblin general, realizing what was happening, suddenly changed his expression. Looking into the distance, the swirling dust clearly indicated that a large army was approaching them from behind.

Realizing this, the goblin general turned around in disbelief to look at the Trapped Camp at the other end of the battlefield.

"This was a feint attack?!"

In the short time that followed, the elite cavalry, having achieved their objective, changed their original momentum and began to cut diagonally to block their escape route.

This made the goblin general realize even more clearly that he had been outmaneuvered by the other side!

In the current situation, they are directly attacked from both sides by the opposing forces!

"Emergency evacuation, head west! Rejoin the main force!"

If you continue to stay in one place and fight a positional war when you are attacked from both sides, you will be attacked from both sides.

The most important thing is to get out of this situation as soon as possible.

Under this premise, this wave of operations, with its heavy-firepower Destroyer mechs, was all on the side of the divided force, but the main force's combat power was also considerable.

Although the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, the main forces of both sides have not yet entered a head-on confrontation, so it is still hard to say who is stronger.

The goblin troops that received the order reacted quickly. The Destroyer mech's leg structure was the same as the Ripper mech's, both equipped with tracked wheels.

Of course, compared to the Ripper mech, the Destroyer mech has a much wider base, basically comparable to a tank. This is obviously a design choice made to take into account the recoil generated by artillery fire and for stability reasons.

At this moment, one Destroyer mech after another pulled out the armored shields stuck in the ground and began to move around in a defensive posture, occasionally firing a couple of shots in the direction from which the enemy artillery was coming, as a symbolic counterattack.

After all, everyone has cannons, so they can't just be the ones taking the hits, right?

Meanwhile, the rear troops maintaining long-range artillery suppression quickly came into the goblin general's view. Needless to say, the troops that arrived just in time were the dwarven tank force, which also possessed a certain degree of mobility!
At that time, Zhou Chongshan sent his personal guards to notify this very tank unit.

The Trapped Camp, led by Zhou Chongshan, took more time to maneuver around the enemy lines.

During this time, the dwarven tank force that had fallen behind arrived at the vicinity of the outer perimeter.

After exchanging information with the accompanying giant eagle knights, they finally finalized the plan for this coordinated pincer attack.

The sight of the dwarven steam tanks in pursuit made the goblin general's eyelids twitch wildly.

He had never seen a dwarven steam tank, but that didn't stop him from trying to understand it.

Some of their designs even bear a striking resemblance to their Destroyer mechs.

Based on the previous demonstration of the artillery fire, the goblin general now had a good idea of ​​what the dwarven steam tank was.

But it was precisely because of this that he found it somewhat perplexing.

Technological development and magical development are fundamentally at odds.

From the undead troops and giant eagle riders that appeared earlier, to the later appearance of the Ironclad Cavalry, the opposing side looks like a special magical faction that doesn't focus on technological development.

But in the blink of an eye, another force, clearly from the technology side, suddenly appeared!
Could it be that there are two forces on the other side, and they've joined forces?!

Before they could think further, another commotion broke out among the troops who were moving.

Compared to the Trapped Camp, which restricted the goblin troops' movements on the other side after the dwarven tank force appeared, Zhou Chongshan was both skilled and daring, and charged straight in with his sword.

Upon seeing this, the goblin gunner operating the heavy machine gun on the transport truck immediately turned his gun around and opened fire.

However, Zhou Chongshan found their adjustment of the gun barrels incredibly slow. With his agile and swift movements, he leaped onto the truck, and at the same time, the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand flashed a crimson light.

The goblin gunner, along with the heavy machine gun in front of him, was instantly cleaved in two!
At this moment, Zhou Chongshan, who had successfully made a surprise attack, held the Blood-Drinking Sword, and his posture was no different from a wolf entering a flock of sheep!
The complex environment limited the goblin troops' use of various firearms, but it also allowed Zhou Chongshan to move freely as if he were in an empty field!
The sword, having drunk its fill of blood, grew ever sharper, and combined with his agile and nimble movements, Zhou Chongshan's sword-wielding speed increased exponentially.

During this time, the goblin general, who noticed the commotion behind him, finally couldn't help but swear.

Back when he fought the elves, he felt that these high-level combatants were completely unreasonable when they fought. Now, experiencing this scene again, he was still a little frustrated.

After that battle, he actually thought about how to limit this kind of high-end combat power that didn't follow the rules.

Using a large number of heavy machine guns to form a fire network for suppression is actually a method worth trying.

However, this method only works if the firing range is maintained.

Once the enemy rushes in, the disadvantage of heavy machine guns being cumbersome compared to ordinary individual rifles will be exposed, making it difficult to effectively utilize them in such situations.

The individual rifles can still fire, but their threat level is limited. As things stand, there's simply no way to deal with the enemy!
