Chapter 197: Annihilating the cannon fodder cluster, Ah Xuan’s strategy [Please subscribe]

The phalanx of goblin swarms as cannon fodder is like butter in a hot pot gradually melting.

From time to time, the skinny Goblin Shaman will hold up a small black screen to defend the team from attacks.

Or summon black poisonous snake guards to spray energy arrows in the distance.

After the Night Shadow Wolf Cavalry and Goblin Swordsman in the front row were almost all strangled.

Immediately blocking the front were the bear goblins mixed in the cluster.

After charging forward to no avail, these guys just followed the advance of the team obediently.

When they faced the defenders' attack, the entire cluster had advanced to a position less than 200 meters away from the temporary defense line on the southern periphery of the city.

Thousands of goblins were torn to pieces under various attacks.

The thorny ground was strewn with corpses, and in some places there were burning flames or dense thorns stuck in them.

From time to time, boulders the size of millstones would condense from mid-air, and then slam into the monsters below.

These are the effects caused by various types of magic.

The advantages of funnel tactics are brought to the extreme.

At least when dealing with these cannon fodder goblins, the strength of the defenders seemed quite impressive.

Because within this area, the attack density of the defenders far exceeds the withstand threshold of the goblin swarm.

Therefore, it is difficult for the siege advancement of low-level monsters to be effective.

So far, the monsters' side has achieved very few results.

Most of the effective damage is caused by the long-range attacks of the light ball beasts, beholder demons and headless stone demons.

The continuous bombardment of stone bullets, light balls and ray beams has broken many magic energy shields and created large and small gaps in the sandwich city wall.

The adventurers and mercenaries who stood on the city wall and set up shields began to suffer casualties.

From time to time, someone would be shot off the wall.

Everyone used their own methods to activate the protective effects of shield scrolls or magic jewelry, turning them into small balls of light that were firmly nailed in place, so the overall casualty rate was not high.

"Da da da!"

Chen Xuan had already switched the M2 heavy machine gun to burst fire mode.

Aim and shoot at those bear goblins with huge physiques.

These guys have thick skin and tough flesh, and the chaotic magic power on their body surface can resist the bombardment of 3 to 5 rounds of 12.7mm ordinary bullets. The skin, flesh and bones everywhere are extremely tough.

Bullets that can tear apart the bodies of ordinary goblins can only leave wounds the size of teacups on their bodies.

Each bear goblin is nearly two meters tall. Compared with the skinny green-skinned goblins, it can be said that it stands out from the crowd.

However, under targeted attacks, the few remaining Goblin Bears in the monster cluster fell one after another.

The ones who were hit hardest next were those Goblin Shamans who were like dancing masters.

Chen Xuan's feet were piled with bullet casings, the barrel of the M2 glowed with a scorching red light, and even the breeze blowing around him became hot.

He wore a second-level rune leather armor underneath, and a bulletproof vest with full panels on the outside.

He also wore tactical goggles and a Kevlar helmet equipped with a monocular night vision module on his head.

The overall image is incompatible with the surrounding otherworldly painting style.

While he maintained his firepower output, the ammunition backpack behind him also became lighter and lighter.

"Kaka..."

Until the crisp sound of the machine spring appears.

This means that the ammunition in the backpack is completely empty.

The kitten girls Rebecca and Ophelia have similar outfits to him, and they still have a lot of remaining ammunition in their ammunition backpacks.

After all, Chen Xuan is dual-wielding and needs to bear double the ammunition consumption.

There is no doubt about the reliability of the M2 heavy machine gun. Even if the barrel is red and smoke is emitting, it can still maintain shooting.

Pulling his feet out from the pile of warm shells, he watched the shells collapse with a "squelching" sound.

With his backhand, Chen put the two M2 heavy machine guns and ammunition backpack into the storage compartment and placed them separately.

Then he took out an M32 grenade launcher, opened the safety and ruler, and pulled the launch trigger referring to the coordinates of the parabolic long-range shot!

"Bang!"

A 40mm high-explosive grenade came out of the barrel, with an expanding cloud of smoke bursting out from the end.

In Chen Xuan's supersensory vision, the trajectory of the grenade can be clearly captured.

I saw it arcing in the air and landing on the side of the remaining goblin cluster more than a hundred meters away.

Then orange flames popped up, which looked particularly eye-catching in an environment where the light was not too bright.

"Boom!"

The short explosion was belatedly heard.

This grenade blew up all the goblins within a six-meter radius and turned them upside down.

In fact, when fighting in groups, artillery and aerial bombing are the most obvious methods with obvious advantages.

However, artillery requires a certain operating threshold.

Whether it is ballistic calculations or various practical training projects, they all depend on time.

Even if the Naroa natives have extraordinary physiques, they cannot get started quickly.

In addition, artillery is a swarm weapon with AOE damage, and it can only be effective when it reaches a large scale.

A single cannon is of little significance, it is not as effective as two RPGs or recoilless rifles.

The rate of fire of large-caliber heavy artillery per minute is even more limited, and there is a certain inherent ballistic error. The real advantage can only be reflected after fire coverage is formed.

As for mortars and small artillery such as field guns, the same is true for many.

Finally, another point is that it is not popular in Myanmar to equip large-caliber artillery.

Local bacteria would rather use rockets or 120mm heavy mortars like the MA-6 instead. Compared to heavy howitzers, mortars are much easier to use in mountain rainforests.

Even the Burmese Army only has two to three hundred serious artillery pieces.

Among them, the 105mm M101 artillery accounts for the majority, with more than 200 guns.

There are only twenty or thirty large-caliber 155mm towed howitzers.

In other words, this is a problem that Chen Xuan cannot solve in a short period of time.

By the time he brings the artillery to Magtan City, the grass on Baron Bezos's grave may be two meters high.

Among the Blue Stars, the one with the strongest ground projection capability is the Xia Guojun, with a total number of nearly 10,000 artillery pieces.

The reserve quantity is as high as 5100 doors+.

There is also a lack of high-caliber artillery and more advanced self-propelled artillery.

The two groups most equipped with large-caliber self-propelled artillery are the North and South.

There are more than 2,200 155mm self-propelled guns in total.

These are the data released by global arsenals over the years, and there is only a little more moisture. After all, these are data on the surface.

Chen Xuan had already made plans for the artillery, but it just took more time to implement.

In the future, if he wants to develop in Naroa and seize the Rose Key fragments from the monster forces, he will have to participate in various wars.

The various powerful firearms in Blue Star are all targets that he must defeat.

Compared with the threshold of aerial bombing, artillery is relatively down-to-earth.

The real difficulty in the short term is not to obtain artillery, but to arrange fighter planes.

Whether it is various types of advanced fighter jets or strategic bombers that can cruise thousands of kilometers in the air and can drop hundreds of tons of bombs, the threshold required is not low.

A smooth airport is the minimum, and the most complicated thing is the logistics.

In addition, basic work including oil storage is very troublesome to implement.

In addition, towers and communication stations must be erected to build short-distance communication networks.

In addition, in the absence of satellite positioning, namely GPS or Beidou system, the combat radius of fighter aircraft will be shortened to a very low range.

In fact, in the short term, helicopters are most suitable.

For Naroa, Blue Star is a treasure house, and vice versa.

There are still many aspects of both worlds that can be explored further.
