Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1890 I bet you can't kill them all
Faced with this situation, Zhou Chongshan is somewhat helpless. In the earlier era of cold weapons, if you didn't have the same level of combat power or means to counterbalance such high-end combat power, the best way would be to let him die.

Even martial artists at the Vajra Realm and the Vertical and Horizontal Realm have their limits. After killing to a certain extent, they will naturally be unable to kill anymore.

But all of this has one prerequisite: it must be in the early days of cold weapons!

In that era, ordinary soldiers went to the battlefield armed with only a knife or a spear.

In the event of armed conflict, it is common for troops to number in the thousands or tens of thousands. Some powerful and sizable forces may even assemble tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even larger troops for combat.

Because in that era, military strength was a very important component.

However, at the same time, in that era, the individual combat capabilities of each level, from generals to officers of all ranks and soldiers, were not actually that different.

If a high-level combatant rushes in, as long as they don't directly attack the enemy's stronghold and kill the commander-in-chief or his generals, then from the commander-in-chief's perspective, the difference between the enemy killing a centurion, a sergeant, or even the most ordinary soldier isn't that significant.

Even in subsequent battles, the deaths of these people did not have a significant impact on the overall situation.

For a large army, there are only one or two truly indispensable figures; the rest can be replaced.

These factors combined to form the seemingly passive but actually effective coping method of "letting others kill them".

However, this situation has changed with the development of the times.

Take their goblin troops for example; they do have a large number of ordinary infantry.

However, the difference in combat power between rifles, heavy machine guns, mechs, and airships is now enormous, a far cry from what it was years ago.

If used properly, a heavy machine gun can easily wipe out several infantry companies on the enemy side, and even suppress an entire infantry battalion.

The same principle applies to mechs and airships.

Having understood this, Zhou Chongshan, having completed his charge, completely ignored the goblin infantrymen firing their rifles at him and focused solely on hacking at the heavy machine gunners and machine gunners!

Despite having a number of heavy machine guns in their unit, they couldn't withstand his slashing style.

It is no exaggeration to say that as Zhou Chongshan swiftly wielded the Blood-Drinking Sword, the goblin general felt that the combat strength of his troops was declining at a visible rate.

Not to mention that the heavy machine guns and machine gunners were mostly located in the cargo compartment of the transport trucks. After slashing those two, Zhou Chongshan then slashed at the driver's cab of the transport truck.

The superior-grade Blood-Drinking Sword was already capable of cutting hair in an instant and slicing through iron like mud. When paired with Zhou Chongshan, who was at the peak of the Vajra Realm, the cockpit simply couldn't withstand his slashes.

With a single swing of the sword, half of the cab flew off as the driver died, and the speeding truck overturned out of control.

Good heavens, in just a short while, the losses have become even greater.

In recent years, with the development of the times and the upgrading of weapons and equipment, military generals like Zhou Chongshan have naturally adapted to this new era and adjusted their usual combat modes, and now it can be said that the results are beginning to show.

During this time, Zhou Chongshan was also searching for the location of the opposing commander-in-chief.

Even in the era of cold weapons, the significance of a fierce general lay not in slaughtering ordinary soldiers, but in 'taking the enemy general's head amidst a sea of ​​troops!'

If the opposing commander-in-chief is killed, the goblin army will be leaderless and fall into disarray. However, the opposing commander-in-chief is clearly not a fool. He kept a very low profile throughout, and even his uniform looked no different from that of an ordinary goblin soldier. Just by looking at him, it was impossible to tell which one was the commander-in-chief.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Chongshan had no choice but to try his best to weaken the opponent's combat power.

At this moment, the goblin general felt a chill run down his spine. This feeling of being completely helpless against the opponent was truly awful.

But what could he do?

If you can't handle it, then you can only bear it.

Forces that prioritize technological development, regardless of whether they possess advanced technology, generally share a common characteristic: their technological equipment is primarily designed to target other technologically advanced forces.

For example, if the enemy consists of infantry armed with guns, I need equipment that can withstand enemy fire and advance on the battlefield while also having its own firepower. That's how armored vehicles and tanks came about.

On the battlefield, everyone relies on technological advancements. If I have tanks and you don't, then I can easily gain the upper hand and even launch a devastating attack.

However, when encountering less powerful magical forces, such as the gnolls from before, even without the targeted advantage, they can still achieve overwhelming dominance through their superior technology.

The advantage of technological forces lies in their versatility, which can basically handle more than 90% of situations.

What about the remaining less than 10%?
The magical civilization you encountered is in no way inferior to your own in terms of overall development.

That would put the technological forces in a very awkward position.

You can no longer create an effective targeting effect, which creates a sense of absurdity, like taking a top-of-the-line fishing rod to fish in the desert.

My skills don't match my job, and I have no way to use them!
This is also the fundamental reason why they suffered setbacks when they encountered the elves before.

After that, the Goblin Kingdom naturally considered developing weapons and equipment to target the Elves.

But is it something that you can develop just because you say you want to?

Not to mention that the Goblin Kingdom was already facing severe resource shortages at the time. Why would they have so many resources to invest in large-scale research and development projects and experimentation?
Obviously, they didn't.

Under these circumstances, the elves themselves did not have a strong desire to invade, and if they did not actively provoke trouble, the elves were too lazy to continue to entangle with them.

Therefore, from the perspective of the goblin kingdom, instead of continuing to grapple with the tough nut of the elves, it would be better to avoid them altogether and choose a different target.

This has led to the current situation...

I bet you can't kill all our machine gunners or cut down all our heavy machine guns!

After comforting himself with this thought, the goblin general quickly turned his gaze to the enemy's encirclement and blockade, which was hindering their retreat.

With a mindset of 'If I can't handle that guy, I can handle you guys,' the goblin general gave an order, and one after another, Ripper mechs sped out from their ranks, pressing towards the distant Iron Cavalry.

Clearly, the thirty Ripper mechs on the main battlefield were not all of them.
