Chapter 4829: Conversion Between Advantages and Disadvantages

At the same time, in the known universe...

The relationship between the various cosmic countries has been constantly intensified due to various situations, and the most intense ones are undoubtedly the Black Iron Empire and the Elf Kingdom.

In the continuous confrontation between the two armies, the attack of the Elf Kingdom is a typical lack of follow-up.

Since the battlefield was pushed to the void area outside the border by the Black Iron Army, the Elf Army has accumulated strength and launched offensives many times, trying to break into the Black Iron Empire in one breath.

But in the end, they were pushed back in time by the garrison of the Black Iron Empire.

In this process, the earlier bombardment of the Elf Army's upper spell destroyed the border defense line of the Black Iron Empire and, to a certain extent, deprived the opponent of the home advantage.

Calculating the time, in the state of war, the Black Iron Empire has no spare strength to repair this line of defense.

But this does not mean that the Black Iron Empire has no remedy.

The concept of mobile fortress was first proposed by the dwarves. Although with the development of science and technology, many technological powers have their own mobile fortresses, but which country has developed the strongest mobile fortress? It is undoubtedly the Black Iron Empire!

In this wave, after the border defense line of the Black Iron Empire was reduced to ruins under the bombardment of the upper spell, in order to rebuild the home advantage, the Black Iron Empire directly sent a large number of dwarf void fortresses to form a fire defense line and extrapolate.

This approach, while making up for the disadvantages caused by the damage to the home facilities, also extended the strike range of their home firepower in disguise, allowing them to more effectively support the battle outside the border.

This is also one of the main reasons why the elven army has been unable to successfully invade the Black Iron Empire.

The combat effectiveness of the elven army is undoubtedly strong, but if you count the days when they were closed to the outside world before, you should know how long they have not fought a good war.

In the early years, the battle with the Black Iron Empire was just a simple confrontation. Although we could initially see the strength of both sides, we could not see much about the tactics and technology. The war with the Zerg afterwards was completely different in nature and could not be generalized.

Now, after the complete breakup with the Black Iron Empire, the war level between the two sides has undoubtedly risen sharply.

Although the Elf Kingdom has also accumulated some practical experience in the war with the Zerg, that experience is obviously not comparable to that of the Black Iron Empire, a veteran military power.

Under this premise, the main forces of the Elf Kingdom are basically still on the front line. Not only are the troops in the rear insufficient, but the soldiers in the army also lack practical experience, and there are even a large number of new recruits.

In the case that the border army of the Black Iron Empire cannot be taken away by them in one wave, the number of battles increases, and with the extension of the battle time, it is difficult for the Elf Kingdom to avoid falling into a disadvantage.

After several rounds of fighting, the advantages and disadvantages of both sides were frequently switched, but needless to say, most of the time, the Black Iron Army had the advantage.

In the process of switching between advantages and disadvantages, the defensive strength of the Elf Army, which was in a disadvantage, was as fragile as a piece of thin paper.

Basically, it was broken with a poke and "collapsed" in an instant.

However, this "collapse" was not a bad thing for the Elf Army.

It can even be said that the Elf Army was able to deal with the Black Iron Army until now when it was obviously in a disadvantage, thanks to this "collapse" again and again.

Because in this war, the Black Iron Army will not pursue deeply.

The fundamental reason is that the Dwarf Void Fortress has a relatively slow advancement efficiency. If a high-efficiency pursuit war is launched, the Dwarf Void Fortress will inevitably be left behind, unable to keep up with the army in time to form firepower support, and even risk being attacked by the Elf Army from behind and destroying their Void Fortress.

You know, with its super mobility, the Elf Army is also good at attacking and guerrilla warfare.

Of course, the Dark Iron Army can also choose to cooperate with the Dwarf Void Fortress to slowly push out, and steadily advance step by step.

But in fact, this move is not cost-effective at present.

Because considering the mobility efficiency of the Dwarf Void Fortress, they can't catch up with the flexible and swift Elf Army.

Under this premise, once pushed out, it will lengthen their supply lines, increase their supply time, and give the Elf attack troops more room to play.

Instead of that, they would rather pull here and wear down the morale and state of the Elf Army.

As the highest general of this Elf Army, Bakas undoubtedly saw the purpose of the Dark Iron Army.

So in the process of the confrontation between the two armies, as long as the Elf Army fell into a disadvantage, Bakas would immediately "retreat" all the way.

This move actually preserved the casualties and consumption of the Elf Army to the greatest extent in this disadvantageous situation.

However, this does not mean that the Dark Iron Army's approach is useless.

If this were true, the Dark Iron Army's commander-in-chief should have changed the battle plan long ago, instead of continuing to follow the old plan and dealing with them.

The Elf Army took advantage of the fact that they did not intend to pursue further, and once they were at a disadvantage, they immediately retreated and adjusted, and then after regrouping, they launched attacks on their defenses again and again.

But on the other hand, the Dark Iron Army also used the home advantage to resolve the Elf Army's offensive again and again, and even counterattacked.

The Dark Iron Army's "passive attack" was premeditated.

When the Elf Army was obviously weak, with its back against the border and the support of their many dwarf void bases in the rear, the Dark Iron Army was confident that it could deal with the Elf Army's offensive, and even counterattack after dealing with it.

Facing the Dark Iron Army's defense, the Elf Army not only failed to attack for a long time, but was repelled again and again. Over time, this was a very fatal blow to morale.

As long as the time came, when the Dark Iron Army came, they would rush out and directly defeat the Elf Army completely.

On the Dark Iron Army side, this idea was still beautiful. However, although the Elf Army's overall performance was lacking in regular battles, Bakas, as a general, was not stupid.

He could basically guess what the other party was planning. In fact, the morale of the soldiers had indeed been getting worse and worse in recent times.

A large army needs to gain confidence through victory, but their army had basically never fought a battle before this confrontation with the Black Iron Army, so how could they win?

Under this premise, the offensive was repeatedly frustrated, and now the army's state has been declining, which is more or less within Bakas's expectations.

But he didn't have a good way to crack it.

For now, he could only retreat before the morale of his army collapsed...
