The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 52 No, my lord, the times haven't changed!
Rat-a-tat-tat! Rat-a-tat-tat!
Several Black Hawk machine gun positions that had already been set up began firing short bursts at the cavalry in the distance.

The heavy, water-cooled machine guns spewed fire relentlessly, and belts of metal ammunition flew into the distance, as if they could take the lives of these cavalrymen in an instant.

However, when this series of shots hit the cavalry at the forefront of the charge, it did not bring the wounded soldier down as the Black Hawk soldiers had expected.

On the contrary, although the machine gunner saw several sprays of blood on the soldier's body, indicating that he had been hit by machine gun bullets, the man still did not fall, but continued to charge forward on his horse.

Not only this cavalryman, but several other cavalrymen were the same.

If it were just one or two, it might be that they accidentally missed, but it's absolutely impossible that all the machine guns missed, with so many bullets failing to hit a single target!
"Damn it! What's with these cavalrymen?"

The machine gunner couldn't help but curse, and then with a ferocious expression, he pulled the trigger, turning his previous confident short bursts into a burst of fire.

Such an operation is definitely not something an experienced machine gunner should do, because in most cases, firing indiscriminately would only be a waste of bullets.

But to be honest, these machine gunners were a little panicked.

The enemy on the other side is not normal. Even if they are cuirassiers, they shouldn't be able to withstand multiple machine gun bullets and still be unharmed, right?

As the machine gunner opened fire, the player pulled out his rifle to return fire while also hurling insults in the chat:
Rock Sugar Pear: [Damn! That machine gun on the other side is too powerful! Someone hurry up and put out smoke!]

The Celestial Master Who Knows Me: [Seriously, has anyone else noticed that the NPCs in this game have a dual nature, like gods and demons? They can be incredibly powerful at times, but also incredibly weak at others!]

After this was mentioned, many players noticed this phenomenon.

In direct combat, the NPCs in this game often perform exceptionally well, not only knowing how to dodge nimbly, but also possessing much better marksmanship than the NPCs they were used to.

Most importantly, the NPCs in this game know how to cooperate with each other and never fight alone, demonstrating a very high level of intelligence.

However, at the same time, these NPCs perform particularly poorly when they are ambushed.

For example, the NPCs in this game will actually panic and run away, or stand there dumbfounded like targets, as if they are deliberately there to be killed!

Thinking about this, many players began to wonder: what algorithm does the game's NPCs use to operate?

They thought that if they could find a pattern, they might be able to find an easier way to take down the enemy!
Of course, the motorcyclists coming from the side didn't forget their smoke bomb mission either. A series of smoke grenades were thrown out, and in the blink of an eye, the road leading to the cavalry charge was filled with smoke.

Looking at the rapidly rising smoke in the distance, the Black Hawk soldiers couldn't help but want to curse.

I wonder what special formula these Cambrian soldiers used in their smoke grenades that made them smoke so quickly?
Before they could even curse, the cavalrymen opened fire with their muskets, killing them one by one with each shot, and in the blink of an eye, they had taken away several machine gunners from the machine gun position.

"Your Majesty, where did this ruthless character come from?"

Seeing the opposing cavalrymen taking down one enemy with a single shot while still maintaining high speed, the other Black Hawk soldiers were somewhat surprised.

Honestly, their own cavalry couldn't seem to achieve such accurate marksmanship. Riding on a bumpy horse, they could still shoot so steadily. These guys' marksmanship was simply abnormal!

Despite the panic, other Black Hawk soldiers took over from the machine gunners and continued to operate the heavy machine gun in front of them.

But the continuous carbine fire resulted in an alarming casualty rate for the machine gunners. Those who came to relieve them didn't even have time to drag away their fallen comrades before being hit by bullets. Boom! Boom! Boom!
But just then, a series of explosions suddenly rang out, exploding directly into the rising smoke in the distance.

Some unlucky players were instantly killed by cannonballs, and the warhorses they had exchanged for were instantly turned into neutral units, remaining motionless in place.

"This is bad! Those damn artillerymen are bombarding us!"

"Hurry up and kill their artillery, or we'll all die here!"

Glancing at the distant opposite bank of the river and seeing the flames constantly erupting on the other side, the player immediately realized that there were artillerymen attacking them from the other side.

The players immediately dismounted from their warhorses and motorcycles, took out the mortars they had just redeemed, and began bombarding the enemy.

Because the artillery positions on the other side were quite far away, all the players used airburst shells to fire.

Although high-explosive shells are more powerful, their range is far shorter than that of airburst shells; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to hit the enemy at all.

Because of the smoke grenades covering the surrounding area, the Black Hawk soldiers did not see the smooth scene of these players setting up mortars.

Otherwise, if they saw these soldiers jump off their horses in a second and set up mortars to fire in the next, the Black Hawk soldiers would definitely have even more doubts about life.

With a few crisp cannon shots, a series of mortar shells instantly crossed the riverbank and exploded towards the distant artillery positions.

Several mortar shells suddenly blasted an infantry gun that was firing, killing several artillerymen in the process.

Black Hawk soldiers aren't resilient battlefield chips; they don't lose 50 points of health from a mortar shell. When hit by a shell, even an ordinary person would fall to the ground instantly, if not die.

"Oh no, it's enemy artillery! Someone is attacking us with a mortar!"

"Quickly, find their firing position and take them out!"

"An infantry gun was inexplicably destroyed," the artillery officer next to him shouted angrily, but at the same time, he couldn't help but wonder—when did the enemy get their hands on a mortar?"

He clearly saw only a few dozen cavalrymen charging toward them, along with a few soldiers on tricycles, but no matter how you looked at it, these people didn't seem like they could be carrying a mortar on their backs while riding motorcycles.

Because of their extensive training and combat experience, these Black Hawk artillerymen are extremely skilled.

Despite the smoke grenade cover, they were able to pinpoint the location of the enemy's mortar positions almost instantly by observing the trajectory of the incoming shells.

Turning around, they only slightly adjusted the angle of their artillery before starting to fire at the enemy at top speed.

But they didn't expect that right after firing those shells, the artillerymen using the mortar immediately moved to another position.

The speed at which these players transitioned between locations was completely beyond the comprehension of the Black Hawk soldiers.
