In defensive operations, although there are more classic cases for reference, manpower is sometimes limited, and the same goes for demons. When conditions are extremely unequal, it is almost impossible to overturn a defensive battle, it just takes a long time. .
When the door was breached, 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 Rouxin did not take this war to quell the chaos to heart. In his opinion, it was impossible for those miner slaves to resist. The gap between races was real. It was impossible for those naturally weak miners to overturn the war. What kind of waves are there.
But he didn't expect that this change would last for two days and one night. General Rouxin almost went crazy. He had just promised His Majesty Belial that the team he led was ready to go to war at any time and would definitely become the sharpest vanguard on the frontal battlefield. But in the blink of an eye, something went wrong in his own mine. The elite soldiers he had carefully trained couldn't defeat the miners? ? ?
General Rouxin's ability to obtain the second largest mine proved that he was not incompetent. He knew that if such an impossible thing happened suddenly, there must be some secret that he didn't know about.
Therefore, he did not rush to throw the commander into the lava, but reviewed the mountain attack battle from beginning to end, and then discovered that there was a master on the other side.
As a general, it is impossible for Rouxin to be ignorant of strategy and tactics. As the saying goes, a layman only sees the excitement and an expert knows the secrets. Just from the first two rounds of probing and attacking, Rouxin knew that the person on the opposite side must have fought in a battle, and a tough one at that.
He didn't know that Batman got the answer in advance. In the war he was referring to, almost all kinds of bad situations happened, and not just once. There were all kinds of ways to deal with them, some effective and some ineffective. , some can be called miracles.
Batman just needs a little summary and some localization, or even no localization, because the demon miners, no matter how weak they are physically, are still much stronger than humans.
It is said that if you hold a hammer, everyone looks like a nail. Batman holds the answer and seems very disappointed with the level of the so-called demon elite.
After discovering that the opponent's level was not low, General Rottenheart guessed that this might be a conspiracy by other demon lords. They sent people to sneak into the mine secretly in order to provoke a war and cause problems with Belial's armaments. The other party had sinister intentions.
In this case, General Rouxin knew that he could not underestimate the enemy. The opponent was likely to be a battle-hardened veteran like him, so he took over the command immediately. At this time, the demon soldiers had just invaded the mine.
After entering the mine, they were a little confused. In front of them were more than a dozen forked roads, each of which had no fortifications. The miner slaves who had been so vicious before were all gone. The entire mine was eerily quiet.
After this situation was reported back to the headquarters, General Rouxin was a little confused. When he took over the mine, he got a 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 were not hundreds but dozens of generals who took over. Everyone dug as much as they could without considering the route, so there was no specific map. ….
In general, no one thought that the miners would riot, so they took it very lightly. The problem was thrown to Rot Heart, and the best way he could come up with was to ask the old miners to lead the way.
And it is very unfortunate that all the old miners who are most familiar with the Central Square are now in the Central Mine.
He shot himself in the foot by driving all the miners into the mine to work. Otherwise, he could have found a few old miners in dormitories and other places. Now, he doesn't even have anyone to guide him. .
He didn't know the route, so he had to go there bravely. Since there were enough soldiers, Rouxin decided to divide his troops into three groups and explore the three middle corridors first.
As soon as they entered the tunnel, a problem arose. The largest heavily armored demon could not enter at all.
These passages were originally set up for miners, and no soldiers would rush into the depths, so the passages became narrower as you went inward. 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 tall. Walking through the mine that is three to four meters high, it is easy to pass by bending down, but those are not counted.
The huge demon soldier, whose armor was almost ten meters high, could not walk in the tunnel.
The demons who were proficient in magic who accompanied the team tried to widen the corridors. At first, this method worked well, and they successfully passed through several corridors.
During the subsequent journey, the thousands of meters of corridors successfully exhausted all the magicians in the team. This method of expanding one meter step by step was simply a waste of magic power.
The widened corridor is about a few hundred meters long, but every road and corridor here is of similar specifications, and some are even smaller. If all magicians are allowed to expand, Belial's ace magic knights are coming, It may not all work.
Therefore, Rotheart could only give up the plan of letting heavy armored soldiers enter the mine, and assigned small-sized demons with light armor to enter.
Although these small demons are small in size, they are powerful and well-equipped. They have almost no chance of winning in a head-on battle. However, no one fights them head-on.
In the first corridor, the leading team that rushed in did not go far before they were choked back by the smoke. Thick smoke suddenly appeared in the enclosed space and corridor. Many demons did not need to breathe and could hold their breath for a long time, but the problem was , this smoke also carries a kind of spore.
To put it simply, this is a kind of poisonous gas. The unsuspecting demon soldiers were directly hit. After being choked back, about half of them lost the ability to move, and the remaining half could only rely on the magician's defensive shield. , walk hard inside.
When they came to the upward steps, they encountered falling rocks rolling down again. The small-sized demons could not withstand the attack of heavy rocks. They rolled and crawled out, but some of them were crushed into pulp.
Then came the ground collapse, spike traps, ceiling falling, and cold arrows around the corner...
If you take the first-person perspective of these demon soldiers, the entire mine can be called Miyazaki Hidetaka's paradise. There is a trap every three steps, and an ambush every five steps. These demon soldiers have no idea where the things attacking them come from. Those who came, left the scene amidst screams.
And being able to do this is inseparable from the cave of the dwarf demons. These very small and weak demons have their own ecosystem in the mine, which is called the mouse hole for short. ….
The large corridor is for normal miners to walk, but in order to move quickly in the mine, the dwarf demon also made a set of mouse holes of his own, which are more complicated.
Perhaps it is a characteristic of any social creature with strong reproductive capacity. They will deliberately design their passages to be very complicated and extend in all directions. Almost every branch can lead to the end point they want.
Normally, these passages are hidden on all sides of the corridor. Only demons such as dwarf demons, who are very small and light in weight, can travel through them. But this time, these passages have become a good helper in setting up traps.
Even if the dwarf demons basically don't understand the complicated trap setting methods, they can still stand in the passage, hold spiked sticks, and stick them into the gaps in the armor.
Being stabbed once may not be a big deal, but there are thousands of dwarf demons in the mines, and they are still alive. If these demon soldiers want to write autobiographies after they go out, then their title for this chapter must be It would be called "You haven't been stabbed, you don't understand."
Fortunately, the demon soldiers have self-healing abilities and are accompanied by mages. Although various traps hindered their progress, they still reached the first large mine, which is Batman. The mine I had been working in before.
All the demon soldiers surrounded the mound in the middle. They could not see any enemies, but they felt that there were enemies on all sides, so they had to stay vigilant at all times to defend against possible attacks.
However, although the demons do not need to eat, drink and sleep, they also need to rest. The two days and one night of siege battle almost exhausted everyone's energy. They kept advancing in the long and dark corridor, and they had to beware of traps and wounds at all times. Constantly healing and breaking apart is a kind of psychological torture for any intelligent life.
Finally, the demon leading the team announced that they would take a break, and while they were resting, many slave miners suddenly rushed out of the tunnels in all directions of the mine, holding various weapons or stones. , throwing at them
One breath.
These things were not very aggressive, but very insulting. The demons were all bad-tempered and chased them down the corridor without thinking. The miners who were familiar with the terrain disappeared as soon as they took a puff of smoke. The demons who rushed in were met again. Falling into all kinds of traps.
The leader ordered not to pursue, but the demon miners just stood at the corner of the mine and threw things at them.
It was okay at first, just throwing some spears and stones, some of which couldn't even break the defense of the demon soldiers, but later, they started throwing bombs captured from insect bombers, strange slime, poisonous spore masses...
Among the light soldiers, there are long-range professions such as archers, and the magic stone also has long-range attacks. However, the group of miner slaves have no other abilities, but they are very fast. After throwing a wave, they immediately retreated, without giving them any chance to draw their bows or focus. Magical time.
Because I was not familiar with the terrain, I tried to catch up but couldn't. There were a lot of traps after me, but when I tried to take a rest, I was always harassed.
In fact, the team leader also understands that the best way now is to completely withdraw, conduct a round of repairs, and then re-arrange personnel according to the situation in the mine. ….
But the problem is, they have already come this far. Not only do they have to go through the traps again when they withdraw, but they still have to be consumed when they come in again. Once they come back and forth, this group of soldiers will be completely useless.
The leader is well aware of Rouxin's temper. If he goes back like this without producing any results, he will definitely not end well. And if he continues to go deeper, he will be well protected, and those who will die will only be those soldiers. If he can be caught Living with one or two planners is also an opportunity for him to make contributions.
So, the team leader decided to go deeper, and the attack he faced was no longer so gentle.
Later traps no longer focused on killing, but instead tried to divert them. For example, spreading poisonous smoke in the center of the team, causing a group of people to run forward and a group of people to retreat. Suddenly a trap appeared and pulled a demon soldier into it. Disappear.
The corridor is not spacious to begin with, and there is no way to set up a formation. We can only move forward in a long snake formation. The typical formation of Calabash Man saving grandpa, the tail of the team cannot take care of the leader, and the leader cannot take care of the tail. There is not much. After a while, the snake was chopped into pieces, and the two of them were separated from the rest of the group.
After that, they saw what real hell was, and Batman made sufficient plans for the battle in the mine.
First, let all the miners hide and never confront the enemy. Then, through various harassments, they will consume the opponent's endurance and energy. Once the enemy starts to tire, they will cut the large army into small pieces and defeat them one by one.
Once they lose their numerical advantage, two or three demon soldiers cannot withstand the punches of so many miner slaves. Once they want to run away, they will be overtaken by the miner slaves who are very familiar with the terrain. It can be said that there is no way to the sky. There is no way to enter the ground.
That's right, the answer given by Batman is only one sentence: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.
The battle slowed down a bit, and Batman, who was alone reflecting on the battle plan, raised his head. In the dark mine space, he saw that the black-and-white old-fashioned movie was still playing, and the clanging sound of wheels running over the rails became more urgent. The horn passed through the smoke and echoed on the ancient land.
One figure after another, walking across mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, towards the vast land in the distance, their backs are like the wind that has been blowing on this land for thousands of years, never to return.
Also standing in the abandoned mine, Schiller and Alfred smelled the smoke of gunpowder in the distant wind.
"You traveled thousands of miles, planned and planned, even if you gave yourself a knife, you also wanted to drag Batman to hell, just to let him participate in the war?" Alfred turned to look at Schiller and asked.
"Batman has learned a lot, even Gotham." Schiller sighed slightly and looked at the river of lava flowing in the distance. He said, "However, learning a city is not enough to use his amazing talent. . "
"The darkness of Gotham is deep, but it is not vast. Learning Gotham is just the first step for such a genius to take the baby's cradle."
"No one likes war." Schiller was silent for a while and then said: "But
Yes, the tempering of iron and blood in war will fundamentally shape a person's character. "
"The constant pursuit of artillery fire and gunpowder smoke, the sacrifices and deaths that occur before our eyes, the love and hate, love and hatred that seem particularly grand in the era, will truly change a person."
"Those entanglements, hesitations and confusions in the ego will eventually be washed away into fragments by the overlapping war waves and the vast and grand war epic, and then be cast into steel-like souls."
Schiller lowered his head again and said in a low tone: "Through the endless smoke of war, he will see the heroic ambitions of more great people."
"One day, he will understand that if his goal is only to save Gotham, then he will never be able to compare with the giants who stand proudly in the long history of mankind."
Schiller's sigh dispersed with the wind and disappeared into the ancient desolate land, disappearing without a trace like a gust of wind.
"If he can't come out of the war-torn world, he will never understand..."
"How amazing were those sages who once sank in the stormy waves, so that in the troubled times when everyone was in danger, they could say something earth-shattering - dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky."
