The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 235 White Scars: A Tell-Me-Not That Times Have Changed!
"Damn it, what just hit us?"

The lieutenant colonel stared in disbelief as he watched the shields of his airship drop by more than half.

He couldn't understand at all what kind of firepower could put such a heavy burden on the Void Shield.

"Sir, look over there!"

Suddenly, an air force soldier shouted, pointing to the ground halfway up the mountain in the distance, his face showing disbelief.

Upon hearing this, the lieutenant colonel quickly grabbed his binoculars and looked down. He soon spotted a large earthen mound that had been artificially piled up in a clearing in the dense forest.

On these earthen slopes, one after another, steel armored vehicles drove up, raising their cannons to an extremely high angle, rotating their turrets to aim at the airship he was on, and firing in his direction.

The Black Hawk Empire's air force lieutenant colonel was a little stunned. He had fought for so long and had seen many of the enemy's air defense methods, but this was the first time he had ever seen such an outrageous air defense!

Are you kidding me? These steel tanks don't look like they're designed for attacking the air, do they?

So his airship was destroyed like this by a bunch of enemy tanks?
Just then, another round of artillery fire came crashing down.

The air force lieutenant colonel, as if waking from a dream, quickly ordered his airship to turn and evade, attempting to avoid the enemy's series of deadly attacks.

However, the massive Brandenburg airship was far less maneuverable, and his orders were not timely enough. By the time he shouted the order, the airship's shields had already been hit by enemy artillery fire!

A barrage of tank cannon fire slammed into the Void Shield once again, consuming a significant amount of its energy.

When this wave was reached, the energy of the Void Shield was completely destroyed, and the shield outside the airship collapsed like melting snow, revealing the airship's original appearance.

As the shimmering, translucent membrane vanished, a look of horror appeared on Lieutenant Colonel Black Hawk's face!

"Oh no! We're doomed!"

He realized that his airship was doomed. Without the protection of the shield, the enemy only needed to fire a few shots at the gasbag to completely tear the airship apart!
Even though they used various technologies to provide extra protection for the airship's gasbags, these gasbags were still extremely fragile and could never withstand cannon fire!

"Quick! Grab the parachute, get ready to jump!"

At the lieutenant colonel's shout, the soldiers on the airship grabbed their parachutes and jumped down. He himself quickly grabbed a parachute and ran down as fast as he could.

In addition, two Dread Knights on the airship quickly entered the only drop pod and then simply fell down.

The airdrop pod is a great invention. With the help of some spells and its own rocket device, it can slow down upon landing, ensuring that the soldiers inside are not killed by the fall.

Even so, the landing of the airdrop pod still generates a huge shock, enough to break the legs of an ordinary soldier.

Therefore, only the Dread Knight, wearing power armor and protected by various shock-absorbing devices, can escape the violent shaking of the drop pod and land heavily on the enemy's position.

Of course, their airship wasn't specifically designed for airdrop missions, so there was only one drop pod on board, specifically for the two Fear Knights on board.

Because they suffered heavy losses in the previous boarding action against Andrei, the Black Hawk Empire now equips each airship with a Fear Knight.

The heavy powered armor, along with the equally heavy drop pod, reduced the ammunition load of an airship by at least 4 tons.

However, all of this is still a worthwhile means of preventing the enemy from boarding.

The Dread Knight's drop pod was dropped as quickly as possible, while the other soldiers frantically tried to parachute, but another round of tank fire came.

Amidst a dazzling display of fire, the Brandenburg airship's gasbags began to explode one after another at an astonishing speed, starting from the tail.

Upon seeing this, the remaining soldiers hurriedly jumped down; otherwise, it would be too late!

Some soldiers were a beat too slow and were caught in the blast wave before they could reach the escape hatch below, or rather, the bomb bay of the airship.

In a blazing inferno, the soldier was torn to pieces on the spot, and other soldiers who were parachuting in the air were also affected by the shockwave and debris from the explosion.

"Ah, help me—!"

A Black Hawk soldier had just jumped when his parachute was severed by a piece of flying steel.

The broken parachute was no match for him; he plummeted through the air like a kite with a broken string, his screams echoing far and wide.

However, there was nothing anyone else could do to save him at that moment. All they could do was watch as he crashed to the ground and turned into a mangled mess.

Not only this largest Brandenburg-class airship, but also the four escort airships around it perished under the intense fire of numerous anti-aircraft guns.

Compared to the large airships, the void shields of these four escort airships were far less powerful. Faced with the fierce bombardment from a large number of anti-aircraft guns on the ground, the airships were blown into fireballs one after another in the air.

The heavy parachute landed first, crashing heavily into the forest and knocking down a towering tree.

The two Fear Knights emerged from inside in a rather disheveled state, never expecting the drop pod to land in such a terrible spot.

Fortunately, their power armor mitigated most of the impact, leaving them with only slight dizziness and no other adverse effects.

After crawling out of the drop pod, they quickly retreated to a distance, with no intention of lingering, because they knew that Cambrian soldiers would take this opportunity to capture them!
However, the two Dread Knights were fully confident in themselves. In their view, as long as they were not blocked by the enemy's main force and heavy firepower, the enemy would have no chance against them.

Their power armor is sufficient to protect them from most light weapons, while their firepower and combat capabilities allow them to easily hunt down ordinary soldiers in the forest.

If the other side wants to fight him with ordinary soldiers in the jungle, they would absolutely not mind killing a few unlucky guys along the way!
Andrei glanced at the parachute still slowly descending in the sky, then at the airdrop pod that had crashed into the woods on the other side, and shook his head with a smile.

The players acted spontaneously without him giving any orders.

A psionicist and several players with ordinary equipment quickly entered the jungle, seemingly determined to hunt down the fear knights within.

The remaining players picked up their guns and started firing into the sky, showing no intention of sparing the lives of the enemy soldiers on the parachutes.

Seeing their actions, Andrei quickly stopped them, saying:

"Wait, don't shoot! Take a few prisoners alive!"

"These guys are from the Air Force; they should have a lot of intelligence in their heads. Sending them to the rear will be beneficial!"

As he spoke, Andrei started a mission to capture prisoners, with an extra 50 merit points awarded for each prisoner captured.

Upon seeing this, the players immediately put away their guns and, like fledglings waiting to be fed, all craned their necks and ran in the direction the enemy's parachute was descending.

Looking at this scene, Andrei felt that it was somewhat abstract, as if he had come to a zoo and saw a group of monkeys chasing after the biscuits in his hand.

The two fear knights, deep in the forest, were running out at top speed, making no attempt to conceal their tracks.

Their power armor is so heavy that it's impossible for them to hide any traces. They can leave a very conspicuous footprint with just a step on the ground.

They were confident that even if the enemy caught up with them, they wouldn't be able to do anything to them, so they were only focused on escaping as quickly as possible.

"This damn forest, how come it's so dense?"

One of the Fear Knights couldn't help but curse angrily. He swung his greatsword so hard it was almost like a windmill, constantly hacking at the branches blocking his way, but countless branches still blocked his path.

Faced with such dense branches, neither of them dared to rush directly into it, for fear that the thing might accidentally get into a gap in their power armor and entangle them.

"Damn it, our power armor is still too wide..."

Another Dread Knight frowned slightly, thinking that the Empire would need to develop some lighter powered armor in the future.

Although compared to the power armor currently used by other countries, the Black Hawk Empire's power armor is already quite lightweight, with good flexibility and mobility, such power armor still presents some difficulties for maneuvering in complex terrain.

As for the new type of powered armor that is more suitable for infiltration warfare, which has been nerfed?

Most Dread Knights said that even a dog wouldn't wear that piece of junk. What kind of upgrade is it, sacrificing protection and firepower?

"Watch out, I hear footsteps! Enemies are coming this way!"

Just then, they suddenly heard footsteps and shouts from behind. Without thinking, one of the Dread Knights stretched out his arm and began firing at the rear.

The submachine guns suspended on the power armor unleashed a barrage of fire, bullets striking tree trunks and sending shrapnel flying everywhere.

An unlucky player was hit by a bullet, but the medic behind him quickly pulled him up with a syringe. Just then, a psyker who had circled around from the side successfully brought two fear knights into the minimap.

Without any hesitation, the psionicist immediately cast a Blood Boil spell on the Dread Knight in front of him.

This was the first time the psionicists had had the opportunity to engage enemy powered armor targets. When they fought against the Alteranians before, they encountered far too few armored units, leaving almost no room for the psionicists to maneuver.

The Black Hawk Empire has a large number of armored units, including mechs and armored infantry, which are very suitable for psionicists to deal with.

The Fear Knight, who was relentlessly suppressing the enemy with his submachine gun, suddenly felt an extremely painful sensation throughout his body and let out a bloodcurdling scream.

"Marcus, what's wrong?"

Seeing his companion, who had just been busy wreaking havoc with a submachine gun, suddenly fall down in the next second, another Fear Knight next to him was startled.

He quickly looked around, wondering what attack had killed his companion.

If there are anti-tank rifles here, why didn't he hear any gunshots or see any huge muzzle flashes?

Could it be magic?

Although it seems a bit strange that mages suddenly appeared on the battlefield in the Cambrian Empire, it's not that the Cambrian Empire had no mages participating in the war at all; it's just that their numbers were relatively small.

Realizing he might have encountered the enemy's magical power, the Fear Knight's mind raced as he tried desperately to save himself.

Unfortunately, the psionicist's second spell, which followed immediately, made his blood boil instantly.

In those few seconds, he had no time to save himself and could only watch helplessly as he followed in his companion's footsteps.

"Done! Hehe, two kills in hand, and they're pretty valuable too!"

The psionic player grinned; he was now genuinely fond of this special class, finding it incredibly useful for ambushing enemies.

Although this special class is not very suitable for close combat, after all, there is no extra boost to firepower, and it is also a fragile character with low health.

However, with these unpredictable psionic spells, they are the most stealthy and deadliest killers in complex terrain, and they also have anti-armor capabilities!
Turning around, he shared some merit points with the other players who had followed him, since these players were also an insurance policy he had brought along.

He worried that if his spells failed to kill the Fear Knight, and the knight charged at him with his greatsword, then the others would have to rely on their bayonets to charge in.

When there are no other options, bayonet charge is always the best!

On the other side, other players near Andrei also captured several prisoners, including the commander of the airship, who was an air force lieutenant colonel from the Black Hawk Empire.

When he met Andrei, the air force lieutenant colonel still looked arrogant, as if he was waiting for Andrei to ask him some questions.

However, Andrei had no interest in paying attention to this guy. He simply waved his hand and ordered the guards beside him to take him away. Immediately, a special military vehicle went to take him and several other captured pilots away.

Why should I waste my energy arguing with them here?
Quickly send them to the rear and have professionals interrogate them for intelligence!

Anyway, these Black Hawk devils were all incredibly arrogant, treating the Cambrian people like uncivilized monkeys.

Andrei was quite curious, wondering how long they could endure in the interrogation room. He believed these civilized people must have a lot of willpower!
"Sir, the enemy's army seems to be arriving soon. Should we do something?"

A staff officer approached Andrei and asked, based on his previous experience fighting in other units, that the enemy air force had already come to bomb, and the army should be following closely behind.

"Nothing needs to be done. Just have our troops proceed with the defense as planned!"

"We've almost finished setting up our defensive positions, now we're just waiting for the Black Hawk Men to jump into the trap!"

Andrei waved his hand, showing no sign of impatience.

Anyway, he has already prepared almost everything he needs to, so what is there to worry about?
The enemy is coming; just fight according to his previous plan!
Just as Andrei was thinking this, he suddenly heard the roar of an airplane engine overhead.

He looked up and saw several biplanes flying rapidly toward him; it was clear at a glance that they were fighter jets using acceleration skills to get there quickly.

"I said, you said enemy air force was coming to attack, where did their air force go?"

The pilots of the fighter jets scanned the surrounding airspace but did not see any trace of the enemy airships.

He couldn't help but ask the other players a crucial question: They said there would be airships to fight here, but why didn't he see a single one?

"Uh, well, you can look at the ground. The airship you wanted is now burned to ashes on the ground. We've even captured all the enemy pilots!"

A player tagged the pilot in the chat and also sent a panda emoji.

Without a doubt, the unfortunate pilot player was completely overwhelmed on the spot.

"Wow, you guys are really something! A whole squadron of airships, and you didn't leave us even one or two?"

"We were even prepared for a boarding maneuver, just waiting to quickly seize one of their airships, and it's gone so quickly?"

Andrei scratched his head as he looked at the players who were still making a ruckus in the comments section.

Honestly, if these pilots had been a little faster and had captured one of the enemy's airships, the battle might have been quite successful.

We can use this airship to bombard the enemy from above, causing players to constantly respawn, and then parachute down, which might disrupt their deployment in advance.

However, there's no point in saying all this.

With such a large airship already above the players' heads, how could they possibly show mercy?

The only thing to blame is that these pilots arrived a little late, so they missed the perfect opportunity to board the plane.

At a distant intersection, near a Dauntless mech, a Black Hawk Empire communications soldier saluted the general before him and then loudly proclaimed:
"Reporting to the general, our scouts have brought back the latest news: it appears that all air force formations have been wiped out by the enemy!"

"What? Are you kidding me! When did the Empire's air force become so easily destroyed by the enemy?"

Upon hearing this news, Kurt Schumacher, the commander of the armored division leading the attack, couldn't help but curse, using a string of profanities typical of his hometown to insult his fellow airmen.

In his view, the Empire's air force was always in a state of frequent erratic behavior.

To say that these air forces are completely useless would be utter nonsense, but to say that they are extremely useful also seems rather dubious.

He always felt that these air forces seemed to have caught the same quirk as Grand Marshal Hermann, particularly prone to failing at crucial moments. During the western offensive against Britain, they suffered defeat after defeat against the air force of the Nightless Empire; the enemy's air force even bombed their own cities and residential areas!
Back then, Grand Marshal Hermann solemnly declared that if any enemy airship crossed the strait, he would henceforth change his name to Mayer!
And gloriously, from then on, Grand Marshal Hermann also had the title of Grand Marshal Meyer, and whenever the emperor was angry, he would address the other party as Grand Marshal Meyer.

"Make our artillery move faster! Don't tell me our new self-propelled artillery still can't keep up with the speed of our armored forces!"

Major General Kurt somewhat disapprovedly reprimanded an officer behind him, who wiped the sweat from his brow and said with a wry smile:

"General, there's nothing we can do about it; the road conditions in the Cambrian Empire are just too terrible!"

"The muddy roads were slippery from the recent rain, so even with the latest mobile suits as chassis, these artillery pieces still get stuck!"

"I've had our soldiers do their best to assist the artillery's movement, but honestly, the road conditions in the Cambrian Empire are just terrible!"

Upon hearing this, Major General Kurt could only nod somewhat sadly.

Damn it, from the very beginning of the attack, he felt like everything was going wrong for him!

Not only the artillery in the rear, but also his armored forces suffered a sharp decline in movement speed due to the terrible terrain, while the infantry was less affected.

However anxious he was, he couldn't possibly send his light infantry to launch a direct assault on the enemy's position.

In addition to a batch of new self-propelled artillery pieces used as experimental subjects in the rear, their division also had a large number of traditional towed artillery pieces, including a batch of 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

After extensive combat experience, the Black Hawk Empire's army discovered that this 88mm anti-aircraft gun was not only effective against enemy airships, but also very suitable for dealing with enemy armored forces.

Although this thing is indeed quite troublesome to set up, it takes about ten minutes to set it up.

However, as long as preparations are made in advance, no conventional armored unit can escape its hunting within a range of at least two kilometers!

They had heard that the Cambrian Empire had recently deployed a new type of mech, which, although particularly clumsy, possessed extremely powerful firepower and almost indestructible armor on its front.

In order to counter that weapon, they incorporated a large number of anti-aircraft guns into their armored units, hoping to destroy the enemy's new armor.

Looking at the anti-aircraft guns in front of him, Major General Kurt shouted to the armored unit following behind:
"Guys, don't forget what your mission is this time!"

"Remember, your mission this time is to charge forward, feign defeat, and lure the enemy into our ambush zone. Then, use these anti-aircraft guns to destroy the enemy's armored forces!"

"That ever-victorious general has been winning battles all along, and I'm sure his ego has already swelled up. I want to see if he'll gladly take the bait."

The time was delayed until the afternoon, and many soldiers were already getting drowsy from waiting.

During this period, some players went and laid a lot of landmines, and also set up all sorts of inflatable tanks in many places.

No one knows what this battlefield will become, but Andrei is already almost overwhelmed by all the minefields.

Fortunately, the players, guided by the system prompts, all deliberately avoided the passages that Andrei had left in advance; otherwise, his armored forces would have been completely rendered useless.

Looking at the inflatable tanks scattered all over the battlefield, Andrei couldn't help but feel that something was strange about them.

He now felt as if he wasn't commanding a division to resist an enemy attack on a battlefield, but rather leading a group of Boy Scouts in a peculiar children's theme park!

"Attention! We have detected enemy armored units! Air force, scramble immediately!"

Just then, the cavalrymen on the front line suddenly tagged the air force in the chat area. The air force, who had been waiting impatiently, quickly took off from the field airfield behind them, and a large number of fighter jets took the lead and flew into the distance.

Meanwhile, the scout cavalrymen roaming the front lines also began to engage in fierce firefights with the enemy's armored forces.

Rat-a-tat-tat! Rat-a-tat-tat!
Positioned directly in front of the armored forces, the Peacekeeper mechs, responsible for reconnaissance and clearing the way, were unleashing a fierce barrage of fire on the cavalry with their four machine guns.

Faced with such firepower, even riding nuclear-powered warhorses, these player cavalrymen were still somewhat overwhelmed. However, the greatest characteristic of cavalry is their agility.

Apart from the unfortunate ones who were killed on the spot during the sweeping fire, most of the cavalry began to circle around the enemy forces. After making a large circle around them, they began to charge towards the rear of the enemy's armored units.

Behind the enemy mechs, a large number of soldiers in trucks were advancing alongside them, and these cavalry players set their sights on these soldiers in trucks!
"Quick! Open fire! Shoot their cavalry!"

"Be careful, fire a few extra shots when you're firing. I heard that the Cambrian Empire has developed a kind of cyborg-like cyborg unit with exceptionally high vitality!"

Before anyone knew it, Andrei's cavalry had gained a certain reputation.

Although the Black Hawk Empire did not yet understand what exactly these nuclear-powered cavalry were, they at least knew that these cavalrymen were difficult to kill directly with ordinary weapons!

Black Hawk soldiers used rifle grenades directly from inside the truck, firing one at the charging cavalry.

To his astonishment, even after being hit by a grenade at his feet, the cavalryman did not die on the spot. Instead, he continued to charge towards them and kept firing his musket!
I have no idea what method the other side used to aim, but the accuracy of their rifle shooting is simply outrageous!
Theoretically, the accuracy of cavalry archery should decrease when they are on horseback, but this kind of musket is like a precision marksman, able to kill a soldier with a single shot.

In just a short while, five soldiers on their vehicle had been killed by the enemy cavalry, whose marksmanship was terrifying!

"You little brat, get the hell out of here!"

A grenade was suddenly thrown, landing squarely on the truck bed with a loud bang, totaling the truck.

A group of infantrymen who remained behind the truck were blown to bits, and many died on the spot.

Even if they didn't die directly, they were temporarily rendered unable to fight.

"Damn it, when did the Cambrian Empire's cavalry become so difficult to deal with? Is this the legendary modified cavalry?"

An armored officer sat inside a Dauntless mech, watching the cavalrymen rushing around and throwing grenades every now and then. His face gradually darkened.

He could accept that his troops would suffer a crushing defeat after encountering enemy armored forces, because their mission was to lure the enemy armored forces into a trap.

But he found it hard to accept that his armored forces would be outmaneuvered by a bunch of cavalry!
"I don't know. To this day, the Empire has not figured out the principle behind this modification of cavalry. We even captured several of their warhorses, but we still haven't figured anything out!"

On the radio, an armored officer on the other end spoke to him.

During the previous battle in the small town, they had captured several of Andrei's horses, but the capture was meaningless.

Despite their incredible abilities on the battlefield, once they were dragged to the rear, these horses looked no different from ordinary warhorses!
The military doctor in charge of the autopsy thought they were playing a trick on him after he had brutally dissected the warhorse.

After fussing around for a long time, he still couldn't see any signs of modification on the warhorse, and he couldn't tell the difference between it and an ordinary warhorse.

Even now, the Black Hawk Empire cannot be certain whether the Cambrian cavalry was modified, and some suspect that it may have been due to some kind of strange divine blessing.

"Never mind that, let's just blast their cavalry to pieces first!"

As he spoke, the officer maneuvered his Dreadnought mech, aiming the cannon at a cavalryman charging toward them from a distance.

With a deafening blast, the cavalryman was killed instantly. Even with his strong vitality, he wasn't strong enough to withstand a 75mm cannon shot.

Other armored vehicles also continuously used machine guns or cannons to aim and kill the cavalry.

Most armored vehicle drivers are unable to aim their cannons at enemy cavalry, which places extremely high demands on artillery technology.

However, continuous machine gun fire was enough to wipe out the enemy cavalry; a few more shots were all it took.

Of course, watching the cavalrymen opposite being mowed down by machine gun fire before finally falling off their horses was quite a sight to behold.

Honestly, those bullets they just fired would have killed an elephant on the spot!
"So, where exactly are the Cambrian Empire's armored forces? Are they planning to intercept us with this strange group of cavalry?"

Some Black Hawk soldiers were dissatisfied and couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

Just then, he suddenly heard a strange sound from the sky. When he looked up, he saw that it was the Cambrian Empire's flying machine that looked like a big bird flying over again!
Even now, the Black Hawk Empire doesn't know what this thing is called; they habitually refer to it as a "mechanical bird."

However, after some research, they figured out how to deal with this thing: just bring more anti-aircraft machine guns.

In their view, this thing's defensive capabilities were no different from those of a small airship, and it could be easily destroyed by anti-aircraft machine guns. At most, it was just more maneuverable than a small airship.

In that case, they only need to bring more anti-aircraft machine guns to effectively suppress this thing's attack!
Clearly, they overlooked the players' reckless playstyle when making tactical plans.

So when a fighter jet and an anti-aircraft machine gun on a truck engaged in a firefight in the sky, and both sides eventually perished, the Black Hawk soldiers realized that the enemy was not simple.

One of the Peacekeeper mechs quickly adjusted the angle of its machine guns, aiming all four guns at the sky and firing.

At the beginning of the design, many people felt that the Peacemaker mech did not need a 360-degree rotating turret, and that it would be enough to just fix the machine gun on the side.

At the time, everyone felt that it wasn't really necessary for this thing to also serve as an air defense system, but from today's perspective, its air defense capabilities are still quite good.

One player's fighter jet was locked onto by the Peacemaker mech. Despite its best efforts to circle in the air, it could not escape its fate and was eventually smashed into a pile of fragments and crashed to the ground.

But just then, a fighter jet on the other side locked onto the mech and began to dive towards it!
chug chug!
A burst of machine gun bullets swept across the ground in a straight line before striking the surface of the mech with a clang.

These ordinary machine gun bullets were not enough to damage the Peacemaker mech. Although the pilot inside found it a bit noisy, he felt a strong sense of security.

"Hahaha, you fool, bring it on! Let's see who has the stronger firepower!"

Amidst a burst of loud laughter, the four machine guns quickly turned and slammed into the plane in the sky. But just then, the diving plane suddenly fired a series of rockets downwards.

This bomber-killer fighter jet uses rockets with great destructive power, and it is equally effective against the Peacekeeper mechs.

Rockets exploded one after another on the surface of the Peacemaker mech, bursting into fireballs.

Although these rockets weren't very penetrating, the armor on the surface of the Peacemaker mechs was also very thin.

A series of explosions tore a large section of the mech's metal body open, followed by a rocket-propelled grenade that blasted inside, causing an even larger explosion.

Besides the Black Hawk armored forces that are being harassed here, the 88mm anti-aircraft guns, which are deployed on the earthen slope on the other side, are also exposed to the observation of the air force players.

When the Black Hawk artillerymen saw plane after plane flying towards them, they were all a little stunned.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

"Should we continue to keep the anti-aircraft guns level, preparing to bombard the enemy's armored units, or should we quickly raise the muzzles?"

An artilleryman asked a question to the officer next to him, but was immediately rebuked.

"Are you out of your mind? Their air force is almost here, what are you waiting for? Why aren't you raising your anti-aircraft guns?"

The officer cursed them in exasperation, feeling that these guys had really made tactics dogmatic.

They can indeed be used to attack enemy armored forces, but their primary purpose is still air defense, isn't it?
Why not engage when air force units dive down and wait for enemy armored forces to arrive? What kind of brain-dead behavior is that?
It's as if the enemy's armored forces could still advance even after knowing there was an ambush here. The Cambrian Empire's soldiers aren't stupid!
Amidst shouts and commands, one 88mm anti-aircraft gun after another quickly adjusted their muzzles, striving to aim at the fighter jets in the sky.

However, fighter jets swooped down first, followed by a barrage of rockets.

Perhaps because Andrei did not unlock the attack aircraft, many players used this fighter jet as an attack aircraft, since the sweeping effect of these rockets was quite good.

In the explosion, an 88mm anti-aircraft gun was immediately destroyed, and many artillerymen were riddled with bullets by machine gun fire.

boom!
However, once the 88mm anti-aircraft gun raises its muzzle and takes aim, its firepower is equally formidable.

This anti-aircraft gun is accurate and deadly, and its power is also extremely great. One shot can directly destroy the player's fighter jet, blowing it into pieces in the air on the spot.

"Holy crap, this thing is pretty powerful!"

One air force player was completely bewildered. Before he could figure out what had happened, he was inexplicably blown up by an enemy shell.

When he turned around, he realized that he had been killed by anti-aircraft guns below.

Upon hearing this news, the bombers behind silently increased their altitude, preparing to launch an attack in a different manner.

They felt it wasn't appropriate for them to bombard this area directly. After all, an 88mm anti-aircraft gun could take out a fighter jet with a single shot. Why would they have to expend more shots to hit them?

Meanwhile, the Black Hawk Empire's armored forces at the front lines also suffered some setbacks.

Although their armored unit's mission was to act as bait, why were they constantly being harassed by a group of cavalry?

They couldn't just be driven back in such a humiliating way by the cavalry!
So they simply engaged the cavalry here, constantly hunting down the surrounding cavalry.

In an instant, the number of cavalrymen around them dwindled, and many Black Hawk armored soldiers wore smiles on their faces.

"Heh heh heh, these fools, it's time they realized times have changed! Even the strongest cavalry can't be a match for armored forces!"

Meanwhile, behind a small hill ahead, the player Khan was gathering his White Scars guild, along with some other independent cavalry.

More than 200 cavalrymen were assembled into a cavalry company, and everyone picked up a spiked grenade.

Many of the cavalrymen had changed into the appearance of the Krieg Death Riders, with not only the piercing mines being transformed into the shape of molten spears, but also their warhorses becoming ferocious black Krieg Assault Beasts.

The Khan was dressed in Soviet military attire and held a small, sharpened grenade, looking extremely bizarre.

He brandished his dart, spurred his horse forward, and shouted loudly in front of the cavalry company:
"Warriors with white scars, take up your spears! It's time to announce to those Black Hawk armored units: Sir, times have changed! Cavalry reigns supreme!"
