The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 985 Battle for the High Tower (Seventeen)

Taking history as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs. Many social problems and their answers that mankind is facing now can be found in history.

Humans are a race that is good at repetition but never learns lessons, but this is not a completely bad thing. When a question is answered thousands of times, future generations can always find the one that suits them best from all the answers. One.

Throughout the long history of mankind, there are not many wars in which the weak defeated the strong and turned against the wind. When it comes to the war with the largest gap, the largest scale, the longest time, and the most miraculous, Batman can only think of that war.

Batman is more proficient in small-scale tactics. As far as his personal preferences are concerned, he is not biased towards large-scale combat, but this does not mean that he has not studied this aspect.

For a paranoid victim, he is ready for aliens to invade the earth at any time, and he must be ready to lead the human resistance.

Under this kind of assumption, Batman will take things to extremes. For example, aliens are much stronger physically than humans, with more advanced technology, more organized and disciplined, and the gaps in all aspects have surpassed the times.

And if you want to think about how this kind of battle can be won, Batman, who has not personally experienced war, has to look at the history of mankind.

And tossing and turning, there is only one battle that can meet such extreme conditions, so Batman also focused on studying this war.

And the more he researched, the more he discovered that, in fact, the larger the scale of the war, the less important the external factors would be, and in the end it would still be attributed to the three classic conditions, climate, location, and harmony.

The reason why Batman feels that he can win this battle is because his current conditions just meet some of the conditions of the war he studied, that is, when the weather and people are not very important. , Geographical factors, is the magic weapon for success.

The so-called timing, that is, the timing of the war, is indeed not a very good time for the Central Mine. The elite troops of General Rotten Heart are staying on the edge of the Qishan Mine. He is in good condition, and the senior management There is no vacancy.

The timing of the action was too urgent, and the preparations before the battle were not well prepared. The opponent's reaction was fairly quick, and there were basically no major mistakes in the decision-making.

Not to mention the harmony of people, the army formed by these miners and slaves can't be said to be terrifying, it can only be said to be insane, and it is a bit laborious to build fortifications.

In terms of the level of education, most of the demons are unable to pass orders well. As long as an order passes through the mouths of three demons, it will be completely different.

Batman tried to use the materials in the mine to rub large traps and machines with his hands, but the problem was that these things needed to be manipulated by someone, and almost no demon could accurately complete the actions Batman said.

The weather and people are basically rotten, so the only breakthrough, just like in the war he referred to, is the location.

Judging from the number of people on the opposite side and the number of people on our own side, the entire central mine is already a large enough strategic field, and the strategy of exchanging space for time can be implemented.

Moreover, Batman feels that the strategic space he has is even larger than the war he was referring to. After all, demons don't need so many survival supplies, and they don't need to consider logistical issues when transferring.

And the location is in the mine, there are not so many locations with strategic value, the more even the importance of the location, the less things to think about when making tactical arrangements.

If the difficulty of a large-scale war with a country as the unit is about high-number calculus, the difficulty of a war with mines as the unit is almost double-digit addition and subtraction. The basics and principles are similar, but Difficulty is very different, all are hell difficulty, and there are novices and veterans.

At the same time, all the miners and slaves who are still in the mine can be said to have learned about every speck of dust in the mine where they work every day.

After a day's statistics, there are more than 60 large mines in the entire central mine, more than 30 abandoned abandoned mines, and many small and medium-sized mountain cavities formed due to natural reasons, a total of more than 100, most of which The caves are connected by narrow stairs or corridors, and the terrain is very complicated.

This mine was developed more than 1000 years ago, and it has only been more than 300 years since General Rotten Heart took over the mine. According to the original race in the mine, General Rotten Heart's elite troops will never enter here. They hate this group of smelly people. His slaves didn't even come in and look.

Those complicated passages, sometimes, even old miners will get lost, even if they are taking a mine cart, they don’t know where to turn. This has achieved the most important condition in the strategy formulated by Batman, that is, the enemy I don't know.

Of course, the internal structure of the mine is something to talk about. The first thing they have to do is to defend the vanguard of the attack outside the mine.

The central mine has a spindle shape as a whole, high in the north and low in the south. The highest point is the top of the big mountain peak in the north. The two big peaks each have two gates and two small gates, all of which are blocked.

Between the big mountain peaks on the north side and the big mountain peaks on the south side, there is a gully through which mine cars pass, and the mine car tunnel is not blocked.

Batman's main tactic is that since he is guarding against the mountain, he must give full play to the advantages of attacking from high to low. New caves have been dug above the gate and the small gate to attack the troops rushing to the gate, while the troops in the ravine The minecart tunnel was also intentionally not blocked. Once the main entrance attack was frustrated, they would definitely plan to use the tunnel.

The tunnel is located between two mountains, and there are hillsides on the left and right sides, that is to say, as long as they dare to pass through the tunnel, they must be at the lowest point of the mountain. Advantage.

Because the physique of the demon miner slaves is generally weaker than that of the demon soldiers on the opposite side, and their numbers are smaller, they cannot withstand consumption, so Batman simply does not fight head-on at all. The most important thing in the mine is heavy rocks and sharp ores. In the first wave of offense, throw as many as you can.

Although the demons in the vanguard are strong, not everyone knows the magic of armor and body protection. Their heavy armor can withstand the stabbing of spears or the slashing of big knives, but it cannot stop the people rolling down hundreds of meters from the sky. boulder.

Facts have proved that as long as there is gravity, throwing stones is a universal tactic. As long as the starting point is high enough, it will definitely give the opponent a head-on blow. Under gravity, all things are equal.

Batman stood on the top of the big mountain peak on the north side, commanding the demons to throw down one huge rock piece after another from the top of the mountain. The reason why the central mine is called the big mine is because the mountain is so big. The mountain is high, so the stones have a long enough charge time.

Countless boulders rolled down from the top of the mountain. Rows of strong demon heavy armor soldiers charged towards the gate with their weapons raised high. When they saw the falling rocks, it was already too late.

Their size and the weight of their equipment did not allow them to scatter and turn around quickly like light armored soldiers. Most of the demons were knocked down by the stones. Although they did not die, this wave of charge was considered a failure.

During the second wave of charge, they wanted to encircle the flanks, divide into several groups, and rush up the gate from the side slope, but as long as there were enough rocks, some unlucky ones would always be smashed down, and even if they rushed to the gate, they still had to go to the gate. Try to break through the door, but when you stand at the door, you will still be hit by boulders.

The opponent's commander was not good at bothering him. He failed in two waves of charges, and responded quickly. Many flying insects flew up from the military field. Batman squinted his eyes and found that the insects had hooks hanging on their feet. Something like a bomb. It seems that this is an enemy bomber.

Indeed, during the bombing, the miner slaves couldn't stand up and push the stones, and Batman didn't have any flying cards to play, but that didn't mean he couldn't use interference tactics.

In addition to the lack of stones, there is no shortage of wood in the mine. There are a large number of logs used to support the structure. Batman has long asked the demon miners to cut up the logs and stack them in designated locations.

When the insect bomber was approaching the mountain peak, it suddenly saw thick smoke rising from the opposite mountain, and soon the whole mountain seemed to be on fire. The smoke was lingering like a fairyland.

Batman hits right. The weakness of this kind of insect bomber is the smoke. This is why Astro's flying thorns can make him proud. Among all the flying soldiers in hell, the flying thorns are the only ones who are not afraid of smoke.

However, even if insect bombers are not afraid of smoke, it is useless, because of the long-term stable situation, the intensity of large-scale wars in hell is not high, and many wars are basically still at the level of fighting each other in the middle ages except for the assistance of magic.

And because the demons in hell are physically strong and don't need so much assistance, so they don't use weapons and vehicles like humans because they are weak.

The positioning of the insect bomber is mainly based on the eyes. There is no thermal imaging, no infrared sensor, no radar scanning, and no headquarters positioning.

Many insect bombers have also found a way, which is to lower the altitude as much as possible, as long as they are close enough, they can see clearly, but as long as they are close enough to the ground, the demon miner's weapon can also be thrown on their heads.

Trolls have developed upper body strength and are the best spear throwers. Insect bombers cannot wear heavy armor. As long as they are brushed to the side, they will crash. The vision is not good, and there is no way to predict the actions of the opposite side in advance. Within ten minutes of the charge, two-thirds of the insect bombers lost their tactical role.

After that, just like a turn-based battle, the commander on the opposite side tried every means to break through the gate, while Batman used his tactical mind to formulate various methods to crack the attack, and used the resources in the mine to the fullest. extreme.

Finding that the main entrance was difficult to break through, they moved to the side entrance, and found that the side entrance was also arranged, so they set their minds on the minecart tunnel between the ravines.

And just as Batman expected, here, the advantage of the location is brought to the extreme, not only high and low, but also double-sided attack, with sufficient side firepower in the first half and the second half, and they are finally the first Once caused the opponent's actual attrition.

The more ancient the war, the more difficult it is to fight the siege of the city and the mountain. On the one hand, without the cooperation of the air force, it is very difficult to fight from low to high, and the number of personnel reduction will be much higher than that of the defenders.

On the other hand, as long as there is no shortage of resources in the city, it is normal for ancient siege battles to last for a year or two. The defenders are not in a hurry. As long as the city is in their hands, that is their advantage. Because they can't attack for a long time, it may slow down their offensive rhythm of all-out war.

Next, it entered the stage of endurance competition. The elite troops of General Rotten Heart rushed up wave after wave, and retreated wave after wave. Miners and slaves emerged wave after wave. Drilling back one after another, the competition is whose physical strength is exhausted first.

And Batman knows that in this regard, the situation is not optimistic at all. The number of miners and slaves is small, and their physiques are also weak. Moving stones back and forth, lighting logs, and throwing spears have almost exhausted all the soldiers who can fight. physical strength.

Unsurprisingly, after about two days and one night of defensive fighting, the gate of the mine was breached.

But in Batman's view, the real battle has just begun.
