The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 163 Oh no, too many mines have been laid, blocking the enemy's path!

"Sappers, hurry up! Why aren't you finished clearing the mines yet?"

"Damn it! Are we really going to be stopped by a few tiny landmines? Such a large force as ours!"

On the highway, an officer looked at a group of engineers still working in the distance and couldn't help but complain to them.

The sappers, lying on the ground, carefully dug out the buried landmines. Hearing the officers behind them complaining, they were filled with countless grievances but didn't know how to express them.

Damn it, it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering!
Asking why they haven't finished removing all the landmines yet? You make it sound so easy!

Such a large field and highway, with landmines everywhere. Let them try digging it up themselves.

I have no idea how these Cambrian people managed to embed landmines into the hard asphalt road, making it incredibly difficult for them to dig them out!
"I'm sorry, sir, the enemy has planted too many landmines here. We'll need a little more time to clear a path!"

An engineer came running up, panting and covered in sweat, to report.

But clearly, the officer didn't appreciate it.

"Damn it, why does it still need a little longer?"

"You told me this two hours ago, and now you're saying it needs a little more time, a little more time? I think we might as well just have dinner right here!"

To be honest, they originally wanted to launch a quick raid.

However, the landmines in front of them completely ruined their surprise attack plan, to the point that their mages stopped casting spells on the soldiers and let them get a good night's sleep.

After saying a few words, the officer was still somewhat unsatisfied and continued:

"Honestly, I don't understand why Cambrian soldiers can lay landmines so quickly, but you guys are so slow at digging them out?"

"Even if we take it all in, they only had a few hours to lay landmines, but in those few hours they practically covered the entire road with them, while you've only dug out this little bit!"

Upon hearing the officer's question, the sapper, who had just been given a severe dressing-down, couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He now wants to know how Cambrian soldiers were able to lay landmines so quickly?
It's really weird, this place is full of landmines, and the way they're laid is extremely complicated.

For example, a sapper thought the enemy had only planted an anti-tank mine, but when he ran over to disarm it, he tripped over a wire as soon as he squatted down.

Immediately afterward, a landmine exploded right next to him, along with the anti-tank mine, instantly obliterating him beyond recognition.

For example, they also saw a sign warning of landmines, but just as they got closer to look at the sign, they accidentally tripped over a wire.

Then, another unlucky guy got on a dubious plane!
To date, they have unearthed countless landmines, and more than a dozen sappers have been killed in the explosions.

The deeper they dug, the more astonished they became by the enemy's methods of laying landmines.

It must be said that some of the landmines here are very cleverly placed, one after another, creating a series of traps.

But in some places, the landmines seemed to be right there, exposed as if they wanted to be conspicuous enough. They initially thought there was a trap and carefully examined it for a long time, only to find that it was just a landmine thrown in the middle of the road—even a fool could see it!
In some places, even in seemingly insignificant corners, several landmines were planted.

Putting aside the possibility that someone might take such a long detour to pass through that area, the sheer density of the mines already renders them a waste.

At such close range, if someone steps on one landmine, all the other landmines nearby will also detonate, resulting in excessive casualties and seemingly pointless destruction.

Seeing how efficiently the engineers were digging up the landmines, the officer decided to stop the attack and focus on digging them up, while also giving his men a rest.

Otherwise, he couldn't possibly sacrifice a large number of his soldiers just to clear a path through landmines, could he?
Just as the officer lit a cigarette and was about to take a couple of puffs, he didn't notice.

In a distant field, several men in gray military uniforms approached silently and set up a mortar.

"Oh no, did we plant too many landmines?"

"After waiting for so long, no enemies came. I thought the game had suddenly bugged, but it turns out they were stopped by our landmines!"

Some players asked out of curiosity and then shared the situation with the players behind them.

Frozen Pear Emperor: [Quick, the enemy is blocking the highway! We've laid too many landmines; they can't dig them out!]

The slower the enemy arrives and the longer they hold the village, the more merit they will ultimately gain.

But they found it really boring to keep waiting.

Anyway, it seems like these guys aren't going to advance unless they dig a path through the minefield. So why don't they push the front line forward?
After sending the message, Emperor Frozen Pear operated the mortar and fired it at a truck in the distance.

Such a large vehicle was parked in the middle of the road, with a bunch of soldiers standing on it; it was practically a perfect live target.

Wouldn't we make a fortune if we fired that shot?
Meanwhile, some scout players set up a rifle and aimed it at enemy officers.

To remain concealed, he did not carry any scope, but instead used iron sights.

Although iron sights are more difficult to use, true pros still prefer to use them because the game's damn glare mechanism won't give them away.

boom!
A cold shot was fired, and the officer who was busy smoking was immediately blown off the head and fell to the ground without a sound.

At the same time, a mortar shell that had been launched into the sky landed and exploded directly on the very conspicuous truck.

boom! Boom!

It started with a mortar explosion, which created a fireball on the vehicle and blew several soldiers away. But the next moment, the vehicle exploded completely.

"Holy crap! Good heavens, this vehicle looks like it's carrying ammunition? Did I set their ammunition truck on fire?"

Looking at the truck that was almost instantly torn to shreds in the distance, and the unfortunate soldier who flew dozens of meters high and then crashed to the ground, the player who had just fired a shot was also startled by the huge scene in front of him.
