Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1893 was greatly shocked.
The ten heavy machine gun squads dispatched by the goblin general did play a role, to say the least.

At least the giant eagle knights' bombing targets have shifted to them, which has indirectly freed the Ripper mechs.

Faced with the relentless pursuit from the Ripper mechs, the Iron Cavalry had no intention of engaging them head-on; they had their own strategy in mind.

Times have changed, and everyone's fighting style is being adjusted. Their elite cavalry must also change; they can no longer charge in as they used to.

At this moment, their actions are clearly more focused on stretching the battle lines.

On the desert night, the battle between the two sides continued, and Wei Qing, who was in charge of the general command, was not idle at all.

Once this battle begins, the most important thing is to adapt to changing circumstances.

Any action by the other party, or any unexpected situation, could disrupt your original plan.

Not to mention the generals leading troops on the front lines, who will adjust their plans appropriately if they see that the situation is not right when actually carrying out their missions.

Therefore, a high degree of understanding is often required between commanders and generals.

For a commander, having an experienced and capable general is very important.

For a general, having a commander he can trust is also very important.

Wei Qing and Zhou Chongshan were clearly far from having a good understanding, but as one of the most senior veterans of their Great Zhou, Wei Qing still trusted Zhou Chongshan a great deal.

Since Zhou Chongshan has launched a new operation with the vanguard of the main force, he can simply cooperate as long as it does not affect the overall grand strategy.

At this moment, Wei Qing, who was constantly confirming the intelligence, quickly issued one order after another.

"Once the reinforcements arrive, ignore the goblin troops on the main battlefield and prioritize dealing with the goblin firepower units. Make the mechs with artillery capabilities your first targets!"

The most crucial variable in the previous clash between the undead forces and the goblin army was the entry of the goblin's rear-line firepower units.

The Destroyer mech, carrying two cannons on its shoulders, continuously bombarded and suppressed the undead forces, inflicting devastating blows and nearly crushing them.

It wasn't until the elite cavalry circled around and launched a surprise attack, forcing the enemy to switch from offense to defense, that the undead forces, now without the suppression of artillery fire, were able to regroup.

Knowing this, once the Destroyer Mech is dealt with, the goblin army's most crucial backline firepower will be essentially destroyed.

Having lost the most crucial artillery support, and with all the goblin airships destroyed, what will the goblins have left to fight against the main force that is advancing?

Meanwhile, on the side of the goblin firepower force that was being transferred, the Destroyer mechs had already engaged in battle with the dwarven steam tank force of their Great Zhou.

The root cause was that the Destroyer mechs were less mobile than the dwarven steam tanks of their Great Zhou, which meant they couldn't shake off the dwarven steam tanks' pursuit and were chased and attacked the entire time.

Although the Destroyer mech is equipped with a thick armor shield to protect the mech, it is not an invincible shield after all, and it will still be damaged after being hit by multiple shells.

The dwarven steam tanks' pursuit capabilities and artillery firepower were undoubtedly stronger than they had anticipated.

If this trend continues, the situation might really become quite dire.

Realizing this, the goblin general simply adjusted the original plan once again.

Upon receiving the latest orders, the Destroyer mechs immediately turned around to engage in combat.

They've wanted to do that for a long time! The goblins aren't without temper, especially when they're operating heavy weapons.

After all, most fears stem from insufficient firepower. When you have the power to easily destroy your opponent, what is there to fear?

During this time, as the primary target of the dwarven steam tank force, they naturally kept a close eye on the every move of the Destroyer mechs on the other side.

Basically, any slight movement from the other side will immediately attract their attention.

As the opposing Destroyer mech turned to meet the attack, the dwarven steam tanks that were pursuing them slowed down, and while ensuring a safe distance, they further spread out their artillery formation.

There are different ways to pursue and different ways to engage in a high-scoring battle.

As the saying goes, experts see the details, while laymen just watch the spectacle.

Although the Destroyer Mech and the Dwarven Steam Tank are not the same, they are basically the same in terms of overall positioning.

The goblin pilots of the Destroyer mechs knew from the formation of the dwarven steam tanks on the other side that they were not easy to deal with.

With its armored shield, the Destroyer mech, once deployed in an impenetrable formation, is fully capable of standing still and delivering sustained damage.

However, their main adversaries in the past were enemy artillery units.

This was the first time the goblins had ever faced a tank.

What is certain at present is that the equipment on the other side even has better mobility than their Destroyer mechs.

With this advantage, how could the opponent possibly stand still and exchange blows with them?
As it turns out, this is indeed the case.

Although the dwarven steam tank force slowed down in time, their movement never stopped.

If you stand still when facing heavy weapons, aren't you just making yourself a target?

On the battlefield, dwarven steam tanks were rapidly deploying in a fan-shaped counterattack against the goblin army's Destroyer mechs.

Once the counter-encirclement is successful, they will be able to unleash their firepower on the enemy's Destroyer mech forces to the maximum extent.

The goblin general, who had also realized this, was not about to simply give in to the enemy's wishes.

Upon receiving the order, the Destroyer mechs immediately abandoned their plan to set up an impenetrable defensive formation and began to move, attempting to break free from the dwarven steam tank forces' encirclement.

Around this key point, the firepower of both sides continued to fire and launch attacks, while also constantly pulling back and forth in this area.

During this process, the goblin forces astutely discovered that while the dwarven steam tanks were faster than their Destroyer mechs, they were at a disadvantage in terms of maneuverability.

This discovery led them to adjust their subsequent action plan.

On the battlefield, the Destroyer mechs began to frequently and flexibly change direction, with some even showing off their serpentine maneuvers, leaving the dwarf soldiers in the steam tanks somewhat dumbfounded.

From the dwarves' perspective, it's hard for them to imagine how such huge and cumbersome large-scale military equipment could be so flexible.

In fact, that's not all. Besides its inherent agility, the Destroyer mech's two shoulder-mounted cannons could be adjusted in multiple directions and angles, making it far more flexible than the rotating turrets of their steam tanks, which greatly impressed the dwarf soldiers...
