Chapter 984: Battle for the Tower (18)
In defensive warfare, although there are more classic examples for reference, but manpower is sometimes poor, and so are demons, and in the case of extremely unequal conditions, it is almost impossible to turn the defensive battle around, it is just the length of time.
The gate was breached, and Batman not only did not panic, but seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, because he knew that the next battle would be his turn.
General Rotten Heart didn't take this counter-rebellion operation to heart, in his opinion, those miners and slaves could not have any resistance at all, the gap between the races was real, and it was impossible for that group of naturally weak miners to make any waves.
But I didn't expect this turn, it took two days and one night, and General Rotten Heart almost went crazy, he had just promised His Majesty that the team he led could fight at any time, and it would definitely become the sharpest edge on the frontal battlefield, but in the blink of an eye, there was chaos in his own mine, and his carefully trained elite soldiers couldn't beat the miners???
The fact that General Rotten Heart was able to get hold of the second largest mine proved that he was not incompetent, and he knew that there must be something he didn't know about the sudden occurrence of such an impossible thing.
Therefore, he did not rush to throw the commander into the magma, but reviewed the battle of attacking the mountain from beginning to end, and then found that there was a master on the opposite side.
As a general, it is impossible for the rotten heart not to understand strategy and tactics, the so-called layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, just from the first two rounds of temptation and attack, the rotten heart knows that the person on the other side must have fought a war, and he has fought a tough battle.
He didn't know that Batman got the answer in advance, and in the war he referred, almost all kinds of bad situations happened, and not only once, there were all kinds of ways to deal with it, some effective, some ineffective, and some miraculous.
Batman only needs to summarize a little and then do some localization, not even localization, because no matter how weak the physical strength of the demon miner is, it is much stronger than humans.
The so-called carrying a hammer and looking at everyone like a nail, Batman held the answer, and was very disappointed with the so-called level of the demon's elite.
After discovering that the level of the other side was not low, General Rotten Heart guessed that this might be a conspiracy of other demon lords, who sent people to secretly infiltrate the mines, just to provoke a war and make Belel's armament problematic, and the other party had sinister intentions.
In this case, General Rotten Heart knew that he could not underestimate the enemy, and it was very likely that the other side was a battle-hardened veteran like him, so he took over the command as soon as possible, and at this time, the demon soldiers had just attacked the mine.
After entering the mine, they were a little dazed, there were more than a dozen forks in the road in front of them, each of which did not have any fortifications, and the miners and slaves who had been murderous before were all gone, and the silence in the entire mine was terrifying.
After this situation was reported back to the headquarters, General Rotten Heart was also a little confused, and when he took over the mine, he got the map from his predecessor, but it was only a rough map of the entire mine.
The entire mine has been developed for thousands of years, and there are not hundreds of generals who have taken over, but there are dozens of generals, and everyone is digging where the mine is digging more, and they have not considered the route at all, and there is no specific map. ….
In general, no one thought that there would be a riot in the miners' union, so they took it very lightly, and the problem was thrown to the rotten heart, and the best thing he could think of was to find the old miners to lead the way.
Unfortunately, all the old miners who were most familiar with the central square were now in the central mines.
He had shot himself in the foot by driving all the miners into the mines, or he would have found a few old miners in the dormitory and other places, and now he didn't even have a guide to the road.
I don't know the route, but I have to go hard, because the soldiers are sufficient, so the rotten heart decided to divide the soldiers into three roads, and first explore the three middle roads.
As soon as he entered the corridor, there was a problem, and the largest heavily armored demon couldn't enter at all.
These passages were originally set up for miners, and no soldiers rushed into the depths, so the further inward the passages became, the narrower they became, and halfway through, the heavily armored soldiers got stuck.
The lava demon with the highest mountain height in the mine is only five or six meters high, and it is only five or six meters high that it passes through the three or four meters high mine cave, and it is past by bending down, but those are counted
The huge demon soldiers, whose armor was almost ten meters high, couldn't walk at all when they got into the corridor.
The demons who were proficient in magic on the party tried to widen the corridor, and at first, it worked well, and they managed to pass through several corridors.
And in the subsequent journey, thousands of meters of Yongdao successfully exhausted all the magicians in the team, and this method of expanding one meter one step at a time is simply a waste of magic power.
The widened road is about a few hundred meters, but every road and every road here is of similar specifications, and some are even smaller.
As a result, Rotten Heart had no choice but to give up his plan to let the heavy armor warriors enter the mine and assign a lightly armored and small-sized demon to enter.
Although these small demons are small, they are not small in strength and are very well-equipped, and they have almost no chance of winning in a head-on battle, but no one fights them head-on.
In the first corridor, the leading team didn't go far before they choked on the smoke, and smoke suddenly rose from the enclosed space and the corridor, and many demons didn't need to breathe and could hold their breath for a long time, but the problem was that there was a spor in this smoke.
To put it simply, this is a kind of poisonous gas, and the defenseless demon soldiers are directly on the road, and after being choked back, about half of them are incapacitated, and the remaining half can only rely on the mage's defensive shield to go inside.
When they came to the upper steps, they encountered falling rocks rolling downward, and the small demons could not resist the attack of the heavy stones, and they ran out with rolling belts, but a few of them were still crushed into flesh.
This was followed by ground caving, spike traps, ceiling smashing, and cold arrows around corners......
If you bring in the first perspective of these demon soldiers, the entire mine can be called Miyazaki Hidetaka's paradise, three steps a trap, five steps and an ambush, these demon soldiers didn't see clearly at all, where the things that attacked them came from, and they withdrew in a scream.
And to be able to do this, it is inseparable from the dwarf devil's cave, these very small and very weak demons, in the mine, have their own set of ecosystems, referred to as rat holes. ….
The big tunnel is for normal miners to walk, but in order to quickly transfer in the mine, the dwarf devil has also made a set of his own mouse holes, which are more complicated.
Perhaps it is the characteristic of any social creature with strong reproductive ability, they will deliberately design their passages to be very complex, and at the same time, almost every fork in the road can lead to the end they want.
Normally, these passages are hidden in all directions of the corridors, and only demons with a very small size and very light weight like the dwarf devil can pass through them, but this time, these passages are a good helper in setting traps.
Even if the dwarf demons basically don't understand the complicated trap setting, they can still stand in the passage, hold a spiked stick, and stick it into the gap in their armor.
It may not be a big deal to be stabbed once, but there are thousands of dwarf demons in the mines, and they are still living, and if these demon soldiers are going to write their autobiography after they go out, then their title for this chapter will definitely be called "You haven't been stabbed, you don't understand".
Fortunately, the demon soldiers have the ability to heal themselves, and they are equipped with mages who accompany the team, although all kinds of traps hinder their progress, but they stumble and reach the first big mine, which is the one that Batman has been working in before.
All the demon soldiers surrounded the mound in the middle, they could not see any enemy, but they felt that there were enemies on all sides, so they had to be constantly vigilant against possible attacks.
However, although the demons do not need to eat, drink and sleep, they also need to rest, and the siege of two days and one night has exhausted almost everyone's energy, and they have to constantly advance in the long and dark corridors, and they must be on the lookout for traps at any time, and the wounds are constantly healing and crumbling, which is a kind of psychological torture for any intelligent life.
In the end, the demon who led the team still announced that they would rest for a while, and just as they were resting, a lot of slave miners suddenly rushed out of the corridors in all directions of the mine, holding all kinds of weapons or stones, and threw them around
Stretch.
These things are not very aggressive, they are extremely insulting, the demons are all short-tempered, and they chased after the road without thinking about it, and the miners who were familiar with the terrain disappeared as soon as they smoked, and the demons who rushed in encountered all kinds of traps.
The leader ordered no pursuit, but the demon miners just stood around the corner of the mine, throwing things at them.
At first, it was fine, just throwing some spears, stones, and some of them couldn't even break through the demon soldiers' defenses, but later, they started throwing bombs captured from insect bombers, strange slime, poisonous spore balls......
Among the light soldiers, there are ranged professions such as archers, and the Philosopher's Stone also has long-range attacks, but the group of miners and slaves have other skills, they are not fast running, and after throwing a wave, they will withdraw immediately, not giving them time to draw their bows or condense their magic at all.
Because I am not familiar with the terrain, I can't catch up if I want to, and it's a bunch of traps to chase over, but I want to rest, but I'm always harassed.
In fact, the team leader also understands that the best way now is to completely withdraw, carry out a round of repairs, and then rearrange personnel according to the situation in the mine. ….
But the problem is that they have all come to this point, and not only will they have to go through those traps again when they get out, but they will still be consumed when they come in again, and this group of soldiers will be completely useless when they come and go.
The team leader knows the temper of the rotten heart, if he doesn't show any results and goes back like this, he will definitely not end well, and if he continues to go deeper, he will be well protected, and the dead are just those soldiers, in case he can catch one or two planners, it is also his chance to make meritorious contributions.
So, the team leader decided to go deeper, and the next offensive he faced was no longer so gentle.
Instead of focusing on killing, the traps try to divert them, for example, by spreading poisonous smoke in the center of the group, causing a group of people to run forward and a group of people to retreat, and suddenly a trap appears, pulling a demon soldier into it and disappearing.
The road is not spacious, there is no way to set up a formation, can only go forward with a long snake formation, a typical gourd baby to save the grandfather formation, resulting in the end of the team can not take care of the team leader, the team leader can not take care of the team tail, after a while, the snake was finely chopped into a face, two people in a group of three, and the large army was separated.
After that, they saw what real hell is, and Batman had a good plan for the battle in the mines.
Let all the miners hide first, never fight the enemy head-on, and then through all kinds of harassment, consume the opponent's stamina and energy, once the enemy begins to get tired, cut the large army into small pieces and break them one by one.
And once they lose their numerical advantage, two or three demon soldiers can't withstand so many miner slaves and one punch, once they want to run, they will be caught up by miner slaves who are extremely familiar with the terrain, so to speak, there is no way to go to the sky, and there is no way to enter the ground.
That's right, there is only one sentence in Batman's answer: the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase.
As the battle slowed down, Batman, who was alone to reflect on the battle plan, looked up, and in the dark space of the mine, he saw that the black-and-white old-fashioned movie was still playing, and the sonorous sound of wheels rolling over the railroad tracks became rapid, echoing through the horns of gunsmoke and reverberating over the ancient land.
One figure after another, stepping across the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, walking towards the vast land in the distance, the back is as if for thousands of years, blowing on this land, there is no return.
Standing in the abandoned mine, Schiller and Alfred smelled the smoke of gunpowder from the distant wind.
"You traveled thousands of miles, planned and planned, and did not hesitate to give yourself a knife, but also to pull Batman to hell, just to let him participate in the war?" Alfred asked, turning to Schiller.
"Batman has learned a lot, even Gotham." Schiller sighed slightly, looked at the river of lava flowing in the distance, and said, "But learning a city is not enough to use his amazing talent."
"The darkness of Gotham is very deep, but it is not vast, learning Gotham, just such a genius, taking the first step in the baby's cradle."
"Nobody likes war." Schiller was silent for a moment, then spoke again, "But
Yes, the tempering of iron and blood in war will shape a person's character at the root."
"The fire and smoke of gunfire that are constantly chasing, the sacrifices and deaths that occur in front of us, the love and hate, love and hatred that seem extraordinarily grand in the times, will really change a person."
"The entanglements, hesitations, and confusions in those egos will eventually be washed into pieces by the overlapping waves of war and the vast and grand war epics, and then cast into a soul of steel."
Schiller bowed his head again and said in a low tone, "Through the endless smoke of war, he will see the pride and ambition of more great men."
"One day, he will understand that if his goal is only to save Gotham, then he will never be able to match the giants who have stood proudly in the long history of mankind."
Schiller's sigh dissipated with the wind, disappearing into the old barren land, like a gust of wind, without a trace.
"If he can't come out of the war, he will never understand......
"Those sages who have been in the wind and waves, how amazing is the courage to shout in the chaotic times when everyone is in danger-dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky."
