Chapter 992: The Battle for the Tower (26)
When the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the light of the torch is lit up in the dark night, it is like a ghost fire floating in the wind, and clusters of light are lit up, and one after another lines of fire are surging from the end of the sky like waves.
"Hum—"
The muffled sound of a horn that made the air tremble, and the shrill chirp of the minecart as it pressed against the rails sounded the prelude to the battle.
"Whew!!!!" A mysterious light lit up in the darkness, like lava flowing down from the clouds, and the moment the Lava Demon raised his arms, the hot and bright orange-red color of lava bloomed from his chest.
The heavy fist fell, and with a "bang", a small demon soldier fell in response, and the weapon in his hand flew far away.
The weapon rolled on the ground a few times, and the sharp blade slammed a gap, and in the reflection of the knife surface, the flow of people who woke up in the middle of the night was like helpless strugglers on the water at the end of autumn.
In an instant, the camp roared wantonly, and I don't know which demon screamed first: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! They're coming, they're coming!! ”
As soon as the cry started, the camp instantly boiled, and many demons rushed out halfway through their armor, only to see more panicked companions rushing towards the camp gate.
The demons who came out first only heard an explosion and saw two corpses, and they thought that someone had killed them in the camp, so they wanted to notify the commander as quickly as possible.
However, when the demons saw them running out in a hurry, they thought that the enemy had already entered directly, and they didn't care about putting on armor and picking up weapons.

The commander, who was also not wearing armor, inexplicably rushed out of his tent and shouted: "What are you doing! Do! Who's calling in?! What are you doing? Stop, don't run!! ”
The newly awakened demon was looking for the enemy, but because of his lack of organization and discipline, he would only run around like a headless fly, and he was soon caught and left alone, and after a few screams, the other demons became even more panicked.
"It's definitely them! They must have come in!! Those damn slaves!! Get your weapons, I'm going to slaughter them!! ”
"Whew!! They're finished! I just saw a fire over there, and I'm going to tear them up now!! ”
"They have been hiding from XZ for so long, do they finally dare to show their faces? Wait for me, whoa!!! ”
For a while, shouting, yelling, and scolding were incessant, and the two voices shouted by the commander were useless.
And when the whole camp was in chaos, the commander knew that the last thing he wanted to see had happened, and that was that they had bombed the camp.
In relatively classical warfare, there is one situation that has to be guarded against, that is, the battalion roar, also known as the bombing of the battalion.
To put it simply, in a more traditional war, soldiers only need to have combat qualities, they only need to listen to commands, and they can fight, and the rest are pulling down efficiency and wasting resources.
In order for his troops to be able to fight and obey, the commander must establish his extremely stable dominance, and in order to stabilize the position of commander, he must establish extremely strict military discipline, and in ancient warfare, the more elite the troops, the more so.
Military discipline and nature are almost completely opposite, military discipline requires not to be afraid of death, but fear of death is the instinct of any intelligent life.
And when it comes to the battlefield where the battle is fierce and the war is tense, there is high-pressure military discipline above the head, and there is a fierce enemy in front of him, and he doesn't know when he will die, and his spirit is always tense.
Rest time is the only time to relax, such time usually occurs after a big battle or harsh training, physical exertion will make people's spirit more relaxed, and at this time, a sudden encounter with a fierce stimulus is likely to trigger an instinctive stress response.
And Batman's strategy is to combine geographical tactics and psychological warfare to achieve the goal of breaking through the defense without blood.
The miners were familiar with the terrain, they could move from the mine with their eyes closed, they knew where there were small ravines, bunkers, secret mezzanines and crevices, and for several days they had been engaged in various harassment tactics around the seventh hill.
As we all know, defense is not just a matter of squatting in the camp, it is necessary to send out reconnaissance troops, build fortifications, and patrol every day, and those reconnaissance troops, patrols, and sappers who build fortifications are the targets of their attack.
The routines used are all very consistent, nothing more than to break them into pieces, break them one by one, advance as soon as they retreat, and retreat when the enemy advances.
It is impossible for large heavily armored demon soldiers to participate in the reconnaissance troops, and the light demons are not so physically strong, as long as they fall into the trap, or are surrounded by many large miner slaves, the chances of survival are not very large, and in the first few days, the defending forces of the seventh mountain have lost three patrol teams and two reconnaissance teams.
It stands to reason that they have suffered a loss, of course, they should fight back, but they are the defenders, and they cannot attack with the whole army, otherwise they will be diverted from the mountain.
Batman's troops are like a knife, constantly cutting flesh on the periphery of the Seventh Mountain defense unit, and the other party is painful and angry, but it is not easy to fight back.
The regular army led by the heavy armor soldiers killed the past, avoided the opposite side without fighting, and relied on several mountains for defense, and the small force was not enough to take it.
But if you send a few more people and a few magicians, you can attack it, but the opposite side will start to exchange space for time.
At the same time, once the defense of Seventh Mountain is weakened, Batman will send reconnaissance troops to take advantage of the weakness, which will scare the commander of Seventh Mountain to retreat quickly.
In the end, the commander really had no choice, so he narrowed the defensive circle, reduced the patrol range, reduced the number of patrols, and no demon was allowed to leave the camp for no reason.
But in this way, this group of demon soldiers choked enough, demons are already more irritable than humans, and the reason why demon soldiers are different from other slaves, in addition to the racial advantage, is also because they are more bloodthirsty, more evil, and their minds are full of cutting off the head of the opposite side as a ball.
The commander on the opposite side also did not study psychology and did not know that constantly suppressing emotions in a short period of time could easily make these intense emotions become a bomb and then be detonated one day.
And tonight, the day Batman lights the fire,
Before, the companions who went out to patrol and scout kept disappearing, giving the demon soldiers a lot of psychological pressure, they could accept cutting each other on the frontal battlefield, but they couldn't accept it, like haunted, they didn't see where the other party was, and they died.
If you are alone, you will disappear, but when you unite, you can't find where the opposite side is, you can't attack the opponent's camp, and you can't beat it, and you will be scolded when you retreat, and after shrinking the defensive circle, you can only stay in the camp every day, this group of demon soldiers is going crazy.
At this time, a team of sharp soldiers led by Merkel took advantage of the rest time to sneak into the camp, of course, there was no existence in this team that could compete with any demon soldiers, so they did not plan to fight head-on.
The snake demon threw two fire spears, set fire to the tent, and forced out the first wave of demon soldiers, these big-headed soldiers had no tactical literacy at all, did not know what it meant to bomb the camp, and when they found an enemy, they immediately shouted out.
The other demons all rushed out when they heard the news, but usually they were able to pursue the enemy and achieve results because someone was directing them, and when there was no one to direct them, the demons were scurrying like headless flies.
Some of the large-sized demons woke up thinking that the enemy was in the rear of the camp, so they rushed over with a puff of smoke, not only knocking down the medium-sized demons, but also trampling the small-sized demons, and the small-sized demons scurried all over the ground, and the magicians did not know where to throw the lighting spells, and finally threw them all at the heads of the friendly troops.
In just a few dozen minutes, the entire camp exploded, all the demons were howling, the commander was trampled on his broken arm in the rush of people, and many demons began to run out, so all the demons began to run out.
After running out, they didn't know what they were going to do, so they wanted to go back to the camp, but once the flow of people was cut and dispersed, the miners and slaves who had been waiting for them for a long time used prepared traps and coordinated tactics to take them down one by one.
Standing on the top of the third mountain, Batman saw a fire around the defensive camp of the seventh mountain, accompanied by a signal flare made of bombs launched into the sky, and Batman knew that the best time to take the seventh mountain had come.
The next thing, there is no way to be opportunistic, although the other party has bombed the camp, but the remaining living forces can still make a certain degree of resistance, and it is unrealistic to want to rely on those little tricks to swallow so many demons, and next, you can only fight head-on.
The army of miners had already been formed and charged towards the camp, and Batman led one of the squads to storm the gate, splitting the largest chaotic crowd in two, and then the flanks followed, breaking into smaller pieces before closing the siege.
Although there is no commander, the demon soldiers will no longer unite into a line for tactical resistance, but their own strength should not be underestimated, if someone hits them, they will definitely fight back, and for a while, swords and swords will fly, and blood will splash.
Batman, holding his torch aloft, found that at least a third of the demons had fallen in his squad at the moment of direct contact with the demon soldiers.
This group of weak miner slaves has no way to compete with the naturally superior and heavily trained demon soldiers.
The heavily armored demon smashed a punch on the head of a snake demon, directly smashing his upper body into a pulp, and with another swing of his fist, he threw the mud demon on his arm to the ground, and stepped on it, the mud demon let out a terrible scream, and the blood sprayed onto Batman's cloak, making him feel a little dizzy.
Batman never felt like he was fainting.
But now, he found that in a major war, the tragedy and bloodshed brought by the frontal collision of the front lines are incomparable to any street fighting, and in the center of the meat grinder, no recruit who has stepped on the battlefield for the first time can calm down, including Batman.
In a head-to-head battle, there is no room for bells and whistles to operate, and the fists are to the flesh and the knives are bloody.
Batman discovers that in such a war, his power is very small.
Indeed, he can use his tactical mind to confront a medium-sized demon, which is almost impossible in the power rating of hell, because even a neutral demon is at least two meters taller than a human.
However, Batman can use a variety of tactics to confuse the opponent and overcome his weaknesses.
But what about after that?
Covered in blood, Batman pulled his hand armor out of the heart of a demon, and he kept gasping, trying to make up for the exhaustion of physical strength in a short time.
This is already the second demon he has killed, but this has not saved the disadvantage of the frontal front, let alone killing two demons, even killing twenty, for such a staggered frontal fight, it will not have much effect.
Batman shook his head, tried to calm down, and then shouted, "Release the gap on the right wing!" Don't go any further, release the gaps and let them out! ”
The order was passed down layer by layer, and a gap was opened in the originally encircled formation, and the front gradually spread to the east, from the original fusiform to a more flat line, and the encircled miners took the demon soldiers in the center all the way to the east.
Batman's palms began to sweat, and he felt his heart beat in a rhythm that he had never felt before, because the next change in the tide of battle would determine the outcome of this battle.
