The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 278 Drawing the Sword! Drawing the Sword!

"Retreat! Quickly, retreat!"

"What the hell! When did the Cambrian army become so strong?"

The Warsawian cavalry, who had just charged forward, hadn't even had a chance to make a move before they were bombarded by a barrage of rockets, rendering them helpless. As they retreated in panic, they couldn't help but wonder:
When did the Cambrian Empire's weaponry become so advanced? How come they've never seen anything like this in the Cambrian Empire before?

Looking back, Warsonia used to fight the Cambrian Empire from time to time. Although there were wins and losses, they were not at a disadvantage overall.

But now, why do they feel like they can no longer recognize the world?

The Black Hawk Empire easily conquered their vast Warsonia. When they returned to this battlefield, they encountered the Cambrian Empire's army and were dealt a crushing blow!
For a moment, these Warsaw cavalrymen couldn't help but doubt their existence. Were they really that bad at fighting?
Under the bombardment of rocket artillery, many Warsaw Nile cavalrymen lost control of their horses and were thrown off their backs.

Faced with an out-of-control warhorse, their safest option is actually to stay on the horse's back, but it's very difficult for them not to be thrown off.

Relatively speaking, the cavalrymen who jumped off voluntarily were in a better position, at least they wouldn't get their feet stuck in the stirrups. But those unlucky ones who didn't even have time to get their feet off were really in a bad situation.

They lay upside down on the ground, with one foot still caught in the stirrup, and were dragged along by the warhorses, their screams of agony filling the air.

At this rate, they will either be dragged to death by the warhorses or trampled to death on the spot by other warhorses; their deaths will be very tragic.

This also reflects the declining quality of Warsaw's cavalry.

Experienced cavalrymen would only touch the stirrups with the toes of their feet and would never put their entire foot in.

They did this to avoid accidentally getting their feet stuck and being dragged along by the horse.

Only inexperienced greenhorn cavalrymen would do that, and then tragedy would ensue.

The cavalrymen who barely managed to jump off their horses were in no better shape, as they not only had to guard against being trampled by their own warhorses, but also had to face the players charging at them.

The cavalry players were quite dissatisfied with the rocket launchers stealing kills before, so they now want to seize the opportunity to quickly get more kills!
Who knows if the sixth guy behind them will unleash another round of rocket attacks and steal their kills again?

Opportunity knocks but once! Quickly take down the enemy in front of you before considering anything else!

Perhaps it's because, compared to traditional battlefield cavalry, the horse girl, this demi-human unit, is superior.

Because it possesses characteristics of both cavalry and infantry, it can be equipped with various infantry weapons.

Therefore, when cavalry charge, apart from some free-to-play players who chose the old cavalry, most players have already switched to the horse girl, a demi-human unit.

So much so that when Warsawia saw a group of centaurs charging towards them, they were somewhat bewildered.

Rat-a-tat-tat! Rat-a-tat-tat!
Their confusion didn't mean the players were confused either. Relying on the horse girl's powerful arms, a group of players chose to become support soldiers, or simply switched to the machine gun sentry outfit. It's not that everyone has a machine gun, but they're almost there.

The firepower that erupted was like a metal storm reaper. The Warsaw Nile cavalry originally wanted to retaliate with their muskets, but before they could even fire a single shot, hundreds of bullets were already coming at them.

In the end, if autopsies were performed on the fallen Warsanni cavalrymen, they would probably only find a small number of human remains among the large number of bullets.

The final test results clearly indicated that the cause of death was excessive heavy metal levels!
The remaining Warsaw cavalry managed to retreat to a distance, but before they could catch their breath, they discovered that a large number of Cambrian cavalrymen had emerged from the chaos behind them.

Although they had clearly seen the strangeness of these centaur cavalrymen, there was no time to think about it now, because in cavalry battles, the brave would win when they met on a narrow path.

A bearded cavalry officer suddenly drew his gleaming saber and shouted to the other Warsaw Nile cavalrymen:
"Fighters, have you all forgotten the glory of Warsanne?"

“We are noble hussars, we have defeated the Cambrian Empire time and time again. Have we forgotten the glory of our ancestors?”

"Draw your swords! Draw your swords! Charge with me!"

Upon hearing this, the other Warsaw cavalrymen gritted their teeth, drew their sabers, and then regrouped.

Their eyes gleamed with ferocity and madness. In their view, as long as they could fight alongside these Cambrian centaurs, the enemy would surely hesitate to fire.

But when the players saw this, they were all overjoyed.

"Wow, I didn't expect the NPCs' morale to recover so quickly!"

"Hurry, hurry, take them out quickly! Don't waste time, the artillery in the back is almost loaded with rockets!"

Upon seeing a group of cavalrymen charging towards him with howls like wolves and brandishing their sabers, the player smirked and then picked up his machine gun.

Excuse me, sir, times have changed!
In this age of war, who still wants to engage in hand-to-hand combat?

A barrage of bullets swept through, and hordes of charging cavalrymen fell on the spot.

The other Warsaw Nile cavalrymen were also somewhat bewildered; they never expected that this Cambrian Empire cavalry unit would be equipped with so many machine guns!

"No, that's impossible!"

The officer who had shouted to charge with his sword earlier clutched his severed arm, his face showing disbelief and grief.

He watched helplessly as one familiar comrade after another fell to the enemy's machine guns, like harvested crops.

This scene was completely unexpected; he had never imagined that there would be such a cavalry duel!

He felt as if he were charging not at a cavalry unit, but at an entire machine gun emplacement!

This terrifying firepower reminded him of the war two years ago.

When the Black Hawk Empire invaded Warsonia, these cavalrymen also drew their sabers and launched a fearless charge against the enemy's armored forces, only to be met with a fierce massacre by the armored forces' machine gun fire.

Although they were equipped with Molotov cocktails, thinking they could easily destroy the enemy's mechs, they found themselves with almost no chance of getting close to the enemy's armored forces during the battle!

As for actually drawing their swords to cut down mechs, apart from a few hot-blooded guys, most Warsaw cavalrymen aren't that crazy.

Although Warsaw's armored forces are not very advanced, they are not without armored units.

They also have their own combat mechs, how could they not know that this thing can't be cut with a knife?
The rocket launchers at the rear looked at the distant battlefield with a hint of regret; they had thought they would have a second chance to fire a salvo.

"Beasts! Absolutely beasts! What kind of cavalry can carry machine guns?"

At this moment, even the artillery players couldn't help but complain about the poor quality of their cavalry.

Damn it, the cavalry are now fighting with machine guns. How are they going to get kills now?
It's all about winning big, even among players!
"Send out our cavalry to cover the outer perimeter of our army!"

"I don't believe there's only one Warsaw cavalry unit around here. The enemy must have other units. Find them and wipe them all out!"

As Andrei issued the mission, he also gave orders to the cavalrymen beside him.

These cavalry players were newbies who hadn't quite mastered the game yet, so Andrei kept them around as messengers.

Although theoretically, Andrei doesn't need messengers, because these players will take action on their own after seeing the mission.

However, in order to make the scenario more realistic and closer to the actual battlefield, he still set up the position of messenger in his troops.

Furthermore, they would receive a small amount of merit reward for each order they relayed by Andrei.

This position has also become a new way for some new players to accumulate merit points. Of course, this also means that the messenger position is not very long-term. Once players have accumulated merit points, they always want to go out and have fun!
"Keep moving forward, support Volkhov, and make sure to protect our railway!"

Andrei shouted from atop the tank, though he felt somewhat weary.

It is unknown when the Cambrian Empire will be able to organize the Volkhov Front.

In any case, Volkhov currently only has a decimated army group stationed there, with an actual combat strength roughly equivalent to an infantry division, and that is, a light infantry with little heavy weaponry.

So much so that after the Black Hawk forces failed to capture Schlüsselburg, they would occasionally attack the Cambrian troops there.

In the end, it was Andrei's troops who had to act as firefighters.

He analyzed the situation and concluded that, based on the current overall situation, the Petrograd Front was severely lacking in mobile forces.

Most of the troops needed to fill the front lines, and many more needed to stay behind to defend towns, plus too many troops had been decimated.

Taking all these factors into account, there were no other mobile units in the entire Petrograd Front that were both mobile and capable of fighting, except for Andrei's unit.

The most pressing issue right now is that the individual soldier quality of the Cambrian army is far inferior to that of the Black Hawk army.

As a result, on the same front, the Cambrian Empire would have to field several times the number of troops as the Black Hawk Army in order to withstand their offensive.

To hold off one enemy division, they would have to send in at least five divisions, which translates to at least three times the enemy's strength. How could they possibly reserve mobile forces?

Aside from Andrei's ever-victorious army, after much deliberation, the largest mobile force under General Constantine's command turned out to be a bunch of defeated troops who had retreated from the front lines.

When the battle on Andrei's side fully erupted, most players entered combat mode.

Some players chose to travel by car, while others chose to walk or simply use a three-wheeled vehicle to move forward.

Andrei ignored them and, after getting into his tank, told the crew to drive forward as fast as they could.

Previously, when on the march, he preferred to ride his warhorse around, but once in actual combat, he felt that the Tiger tank, this iron coffin, was safer.

Although the Tiger tank was not invincible, it could also be destroyed by the enemy.

But in any case, this is much better than riding a horse and being exposed to the elements.

It has to be said that Andrei has ridden in quite a few tanks so far, but after making some comparisons, he found that the German tanks were still the most comfortable to ride in.

The Soviet tanks all had one major problem – they were bulky, heavy, and crude.

Aside from basic performance, nothing else matters!
For example, German tanks had genuine leather linings, and tank crews even had seat belts to fasten themselves, which greatly reduced the risk of bumps and impacts.

In comparison, riding in a Soviet tank was basically like running naked in a metal shell. Some tanks didn't even have a basket, and the gunner had to rotate with the turret to fire.

After Andrei sat down, he felt that if his body hadn't been digitized, preventing him from getting injured, he would definitely have been covered in bumps on his head.

It's no wonder that Soviet tank crews had to wear a hat, instead of just a simple military cap like German tank crews.

"Reporting, General! Enemy armored units spotted ahead! Two kilometers away!"

Suddenly, the raven, who was currently in the gunner's position, cried out excitedly.

Although the German tank sights were somewhat abstract, for example, they lacked close-range observation equipment and often had to rely on the commander's peek to see.

But it must be said that the German tanks' sights were indeed excellent at long ranges!
"Good, found a little punk, take him out!"

Seeing the Fearless mech that seemed to be approaching them in the distance, Andrei gave the order.

Immediately afterwards, the Tiger's 88mm gun roared and launched an armor-piercing shell.

Theoretically speaking, Germany's elite tank crews could operate Tiger tanks at a range of 2,000 meters with a hit rate of about 50%, and Andrei's crew seemed to be no less capable than the German elite crews.

With a bang, the Fearless mech had one of its mechanical legs torn off by an armor-piercing shell, and then crashed heavily to the ground.

Andrei didn't know how badly the Black Hawk soldier inside was hurt, but he guessed that even if he didn't suffer a concussion, he must have been in a lot of pain after such a fall.

Another shot landed; the player clearly knows how to finish off enemies.

Seeing that the enemy hadn't been wiped out in one go, they immediately fired another shot.

The player nodded in satisfaction as he watched the Fearless Mech burst into flames.

"Tanks, advance! Take them down! Unleash a steel torrent and crush them!"

Andrei confidently issued the order. With such a steel torrent in his hands, he was no longer afraid of the Black Hawk Empire's armored forces.

Even when they were weak, Andrei's players were never afraid of the enemy's armored onslaught, because they had ways to destroy the enemy's armored forces.

When they become powerful, they will be even less afraid of the enemy's steel torrent, because their steel torrent is even more ferocious than the enemy's!

The Black Hawk armored forces, which had just appeared in the distance, were routed by Andrei's troops before they could even launch a counterattack. At this moment, the gap between the two sides was truly enormous.

If we make a comparison, the main armored mechs of the Black Hawk Empire are roughly equivalent to a Panzer III tank armed with a long-barreled 75mm cannon.

Clearly, even with such a powerful cannon, it's still a pipe dream for the enemy to contend with tanks like the Tiger.

Gradually, the tank where Andrei was located fell behind.

It wasn't because the players weren't charging effectively, but because the Tiger wasn't fast enough.

From the perspective of heavy tanks, the Tiger was already quite fast, at least much faster than the British Churchill and Centurion, and also more mobile than contemporary Soviet heavy tanks.

However, when a player's team has a highly mobile medium tank like the T34, the Tiger's speed naturally becomes less advantageous.

A bunch of T34s charged in fiercely, and to Andrei's surprise, most of the players in his team who used T34s had actually chosen the 57-piece Needle version of the T34.

It's strange, he felt that in terms of overall application on the battlefield, the T34 with the 85mm gun was actually the best.

Although the 57mm gun has strong penetrating power and is more accurate, its destructive effect is not as good as that of the 85mm gun.

More importantly, this thing can only be used against armored forces, but the 85mm gun can be used against all kinds of units.

However, after studying it carefully, he understood why.
Obviously, players don't need to consider the ease of tank production or the comprehensive use of tanks.

For them, the T34/85 tank was significantly more expensive than the Type 57, but it didn't prove to be any more effective against enemy armored forces.

However, if they need to bombard infantry or other units, they would be better off choosing the KV-2 tank; its 152mm barrel is the real answer in this version.

This makes the T34/85 seem somewhat inadequate, and the differences in radio and vehicle length are meaningless to players, which is why this situation exists.

"...Alright, we still need to look at things from a practical perspective. The intricacies involved here are indeed quite complex!"

Andrei shook his head, realizing that he sometimes really did make assumptions.

The first wave of T-34 tanks, charging forward, easily rolled over the hills ahead, and then...

They fell into the enemy's ambush once again!

Although many infantry players accompanied these tanks, given the players' carefree nature, it's quite normal for them to be ambushed.

"Holy crap, what is that? Where did this thing come from and it's messing up the channel again!"

"Wait a minute, isn't that our Saint-Samoan tank? When did the other side get Saint-Samoan tanks?"

Behind several destroyed T-34s, a few players looked at the camouflaged tanks set up in the distance, their expressions somewhat bewildered.

What the hell?
They discovered that their weapons seemed to have been pirated by the other side!
When Andrei saw the screenshots sent by the player, he couldn't hold back for a moment.

I never expected that the Black Hawk Empire would have developed tanks so quickly!
To be precise, this thing can't be considered a bootleg San Chamon tank, but it is indeed very similar to the San Chamon tank. A small tracked chassis supports a huge, coffin-like hull, with a 75mm cannon extending from the front.

In terms of overall design, this thing really looks a lot like Saint Samoan, but the black eagle logo printed on it is unmistakable.

"Damn it! Kill those imposters! These despicable Black Hawk devils are actually pirating the Empire's weapons!"

Andrei shouted into the radio to the armored soldier player in front of him, and immediately heard a chorus of boos coming from the radio.

After all, from the players' perspective, this thing is something the game copied from elsewhere.

Honestly, it felt a bit surreal that they were on the Cambrian Empire's side, using French tanks like the Saint-Chamont and German tanks like the Tiger.

Of course, despite the fact that it might seem out of place, if you ask players if they would be willing to use it, they definitely would.

This is a classic tank, especially a classic tank versus a mech, the scene is incredibly exciting.

It's a pity. I wonder if they'll be able to use tanks against other things in the future. If one day Tiger tanks were to suddenly become fearless against warp demons, that would be hilarious.

Despite the boos coming from the radio, Andrei simply ignored them.

Please, have these types of tanks ever existed in this world before?
No, it's not okay!

Since there was no such thing, these weapons ended up appearing for the first time in the Cambrian Empire's army, bearing the Cambrian Empire's insignia.

If these weapons don't belong to the Cambrian Empire, then whose weapons are they?
But it must be said that Andrei was genuinely surprised by the Black Hawk Empire's research and development speed.

He didn't know exactly where the Black Hawk Empire's factory that produced these tanks was located, but considering the total time it would take to transport them to the front lines, Andrei estimated:

The enemy probably didn't spend more than a month researching this thing!
This is truly incredible. Is the Black Hawk Empire's research and development speed really that fast?

What Andrei and his men didn't know was that tanks weren't actually that difficult to develop; it was just an idea.

Before this, the world had never had anything like tracks; instead, there were abstract things like mobile platforms, so no country had ever developed a tank.

However, after seeing Andrei's tanks on the battlefield, the experienced engineers quickly understood their purpose and principles.

Just like how, before the invention of the stirrup, those horse-riding powers never even thought of this invention.

This thing is a simple technology that anyone can learn at a glance; it's just missing an idea.

So the Black Hawk Empire immediately found domestic tractors and upgraded their power.

After they replaced the engine with a larger one, they put a simple iron box on it, installed a cannon, and thus a tank was successfully created.

Ultimately, the Black Hawk Empire named this tank "The Initiator" because it was the first armored unit they had ever developed.

With their current experience in armored vehicles, they can naturally see that although this type of armored vehicle may still seem immature now, its future development prospects are very good.

Although the Black Hawk Empire copied Andrei's tanks, and even copied the tank bunkers that Andrei had built before.

However, once the players realized what was happening, their tanks quickly lost their advantage.

Overall, this tank and the San Chamon had one major drawback—aside from having a decent cannon, it was otherwise useless.

Immediately, a player maneuvered a tank to flank the enemy tank from the side, making a wide circle before using its mobility to launch a swift attack from the side!

Compared to tanks with turrets, this type of tank has a very narrow firing angle, which becomes even narrower when they are trapped inside tank bunkers.

Therefore, once the T-34 tank successfully maneuvered to the side, the Black Hawk tanks lying in ambush instantly became sitting ducks.

boom! boom! boom!
Explosions rang out one after another, and one Initiator tank after another was destroyed.

The scene before them deeply saddened many Black Hawk soldiers. One officer turned to the lieutenant colonel standing behind him and asked:
"Sir, I don't understand. These armored vehicles look very useful, so why are we using them as bait?"

The lieutenant colonel simply shrugged, then gave a cold laugh and said:
"It's meaningless. If this thing were really useful, it wouldn't have been destroyed so easily by the enemy."

"Anyway, these things are just a batch of experimental products. The Empire is testing whether these things are feasible in actual combat. The test results so far are satisfactory."

Then, pointing to the T-34 tanks that had already circled around to the flank of the forward position, he said with a contemptuous look:

"Don't worry, none of these Cambrian Empire chariots will escape. Do you think we didn't take the enemy's tactics into account when we set up this position?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than more than a dozen anti-tank guns were pushed out from the side bunkers and began to attack the T-34 tanks that had circled around.

The players never expected that the enemy would deploy anti-tank guns here, and even point the guns at their rear!
As a result of this barrage, another seven or eight T-34s were destroyed. This series of head-on attacks left the players somewhat bewildered.

Andrei couldn't help but cover his forehead, finding the scene before him almost unbearable to watch.

"What the hell! How come they're all fighting so recklessly? What are those guys driving those cheap cars doing? Don't they know to do some scouting first?"

He stated firmly that these players' combat skills really need to be improved!

Their current performance is really lacking; how come they didn't even do any reconnaissance?

Those guys who drive three-wheeled motorcycles and casually mount mortars on them like orphanage vehicles are still busy driving around this battlefield, bombing everywhere!
It's unclear whether their attention was completely drawn to the enemy tanks in front, so they didn't realize there were enemy positions on their flanks.

It wasn't until the anti-tank guns destroyed a batch of their own tanks that they realized what was happening and began firing in the direction of the anti-tank guns.

The Black Hawk armored lieutenant colonel on the position looked at the motorcycles that moved along while occasionally firing mortars. His expression was slightly strange.

"This is strange, it doesn't make sense. How did they do it? How could they hit us with a mortar in this condition?"

You should know that firing a mortar requires measuring the targets on it!
Otherwise, how could they possibly hit the target accurately?
In reality, with these guys driving around on motorcycles, the sights on them were completely useless, but they still managed to hit the important positions on the battlefield.

On this position, Black Hawk Empire mortars attempted to exchange fire, but they were simply unable to keep up with the enemy's motorcycles.

This puzzled him greatly. Could it be that the Cambrian Empire had mastered some cutting-edge aiming technology?

Clearly, he never imagined that players would have the ability to view the map from above.

If he knew that players possessed such an abnormal ability to view the map from above, he would understand how the enemy could aim and bombard the map with mortars in this state.

"Let our men retreat. There's nothing left to defend in this position. Leave a portion of them to cover the retreat. Mission accomplished!"

After giving the order, the lieutenant colonel quickly got into the jeep next to him and left without looking back.

Their mission this time was twofold: firstly, to hold off the enemy and test their own armored units; and secondly, to provoke the enemy's anger.

Their long-standing plan was to lure Andrei's troops in and then encircle and annihilate them!
Therefore, they had to make sure that the ever-victorious general would be fooled, rather than hastily retreating after realizing something was wrong.

To ensure the enemy fell into the trap, they chose to intercept the second prince of the Cambrian Empire, thereby forcing Andrei to take action.

On the other hand, they also chose to rely on these petty tricks to continuously cause losses to Andrei, thereby further provoking his anger.

In the Black Hawk Command's view, most Cambrian generals generally have a hot-blooded, impulsive, and reckless temperament, and this General Vorontsov is very likely no exception.

As long as they can get the other person hooked, then all these sacrifices are worthwhile.

Of course, this is also because the armored units left behind as bait were really cheap.

After all, this thing was just modified from a tractor. In terms of cost, the cost of an Initiator was not even as high as that of a Peacemaker mech. The most expensive part of the entire vehicle was the cannon.

However, their Black Hawk Empire has a burst of production capacity and is not short of artillery at the moment, so they can fully withstand such losses.

The Black Hawk soldiers who remained there quickly chose to retreat, but a group of Warsaw's auxiliary troops were left behind to cover the rear on this position.

These auxiliary troops learned that their performance in this battle would largely determine the emperor's future attitude towards them.

If they perform exceptionally well, His Majesty the Emperor may very well grant them the title of Honorary Germanic of their homeland, giving them the same rights as citizens of the Empire!

In addition, before leaving, the Black Hawk soldiers left them a batch of potions produced in the United States of the Stars.

The lure of huge profits, coupled with the euphoric effects of these drugs, set them on fire.

"Fighters, the time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Gentlemen, we may not survive this war, but our families will surely enjoy this honor. From now on, we are also a noble and outstanding nation!"

"Let's kill these Yankees, let's fight them to the death!"

On the position, a Warsawian officer shouted fervently, his saber gleaming.

Warsaw is now divided into three parts, one of which is the ethnic group that is related to the Black Hawk Empire.

These people are also the most steadfast supporters of the Black Hawk Empire, dreaming of gaining its recognition and becoming part of the superior race they so long for.

The other group consists of capitalists who are more inclined towards the Wuxiao Empire. Most of these people have already chosen to flee and have little impact on the country.

Besides these two groups, the largest group consisted of people whose bloodlines were closer to those of the Cambrian Empire.

However, despite this, they did not have any goodwill towards the Cambrian Empire, after all, the two countries had fought many wars and the hatred had long accumulated.

They were in a state of confusion. They might not be too willing to submit to the Black Hawk Empire, but they would be quite willing to fight against the Cambrian Empire under the leadership of the Black Hawk army.

A player's tank rumbled onto their trench, and the immense pressure made the Warsaw Nile soldiers in the trench cover their heads.

But soon, some brave men, carrying pre-prepared explosive charges, cautiously crawled toward the approaching tanks, their eyes flashing with madness.

Under normal circumstances, they would never work this hard.

However, the special potion from the United States of the Stars made them forget their fear, leaving only a huge destructive desire in their hearts that they wanted to unleash.

Closer, very close!

Soon, this steel behemoth will be destroyed by its own explosives!

The thought of this filled the soldier with a morbid excitement, and he couldn't even understand why he was excited.

Chu Chu Chu!
But a burst of gunfire ruthlessly shattered his excitement. When he saw the bullet holes riddled with bullets in his chest, intense pain swept through his entire nervous system.

No! Why...

Only then did a glimmer of clarity appear in his eyes, but it was all too late.

The player riding behind the tank saw the enemy yelling and charging at him with explosives, and immediately fired a burst of bullets at him without hesitation!

Before the enemy could fall, these players charged straight into the trenches with a frenzy even greater than that of the Warsaw Nile soldiers!

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! I am the Little Western King!"

"Blood sacrifice to the blood god, skull sacrifice to the skull throne!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

When the Warsaw Nile soldiers saw the players' frenzied behavior, they were momentarily stunned.

No, they work so hard because they're on drugs and they want to be a superior race.

But why are these Cambrian soldiers fighting so desperately?

The Tsar gave you a few gold coins, is that enough to make you fight so hard?
When the Warsaw Nile soldiers faced this group of players who seemed possessed by Khorne, they were thrown into chaos in an instant.

The player's firepower was too strong; a burst of intense fire could clear a small section of trench in an instant.

Meanwhile, the player's melee abilities left the Warsaw Nile soldiers in disbelief.

In their minds, the Cambrian army should not have such firepower or such strong close combat capabilities.

Based on the Warsaw Nile's past experience, Cambrian armies typically exhibited two extremes in close combat capabilities.

The close-quarters combat skills of the Imperial Guard are generally very strong, but the close-quarters combat skills of the regular troops are really not good.

Because those guards were well-treated, physically strong, and loyal to the Tsar.

But those ordinary troops were neither well-fed nor warmly dressed, and were mostly selected from among the serfs.

These guys give off an overall impression of numbness. They don't know who they should be fighting for; they're just obeying the slave owners' orders and fighting subconsciously.

Of course, considering that this was Vorontsov's troops, the opposing force must have been Guards.

Even the Cambrian Guards wouldn't be this fierce!

Throughout the trench, the battles between the player and Warsaw Nile soldiers are extremely bloody.

A player can kill a Warsaw Nile soldier with a single bayonet charge, but sometimes before he can even pull out his bayonet, his head is chopped off by an enemy's sword.

Sometimes, some crazy players will have someone strap explosives to their bodies, shout "Allahu Akbar!" and then charge forward.

I have no idea who they're cosplaying this time, but American players in the game felt a chill run down their spines when they saw it.

"Damn! This joke is way too hellish!"

And so, a flame war inexplicably broke out in the players' chat area.

It was only then that Andrei noticed that there seemed to be quite a few foreign players among the new players he had joined.

He couldn't figure out what was going on. Could it be that his rank had been promoted, causing the scope of players he could recruit to expand?
It's really baffling, it's kind of like Louis XVI!
Soon, the player successfully broke through the defensive line in front of them, and the Warsaw Nile soldiers guarding this position were no match for the player's fierce attack.

After all, their weapons and equipment were inadequate, and they didn't have any special skills, so they could only rely on drugs to fight desperately.

But when it comes to fighting desperately, how can they compare to the players' ability to fight desperately?
What's more, the player has a whole host of special skills, which is much better than risking one's life!

After eliminating this wave of enemies, the players who were charging ahead continued their pursuit, but Andrei turned his attention to the artillery behind him.

"Slow down! Our artillery can't keep up!"

After giving a reminder to the players in front of him, Andrei frowned and began to think.

He is now pondering the Black Hawk Command's motives for launching this series of attacks against him.

For some reason, he felt something was off, because neither the previous attacks by the Warsahnia cavalry and the sneak attacks in the woods, nor the ambushes on this defensive position, seemed to have any effect.

He always felt that even if he was leading a unit composed of ordinary Cambrian soldiers, such an attack shouldn't have seriously injured him.
