Chapter 983 Battle for the Tower (Seventeen)

History is a mirror that can help us understand the rise and fall of nations. Many of the social problems that humans are facing now and their answers 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 problem is answered thousands of times, future generations can always find the one that suits them best from all the answers.

Throughout the history of mankind, there are many wars in which the weak defeated the strong and turned the tide against the wind. When it comes to the war with the biggest 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. In terms of his personal preferences, he does not prefer large-scale operations, but this does not mean that he has not studied this aspect.

For a persecutionist, he is always ready for aliens to invade the earth, and he must be prepared to lead humans to resist.

Under this assumption, Batman will think of things very extreme, such as aliens are much stronger than humans in physical fitness, more advanced technology, more organized and disciplined, and the gap in all aspects has surpassed the times.

If you want to think about how to win such a war, Batman, who has not experienced war personally, has to look through human history.

After looking through it, there is only one war that can meet such extreme conditions, so Batman also focused on studying this war.

The more he studied, the more he found that, in fact, the larger the scale of the war, the less important the external factors are, and it will eventually be attributed to the three classic conditions, time, place, and people.

The reason why Batman thinks that he can also win this war is because his current conditions just meet some of the conditions of the war he studied, that is, when time and people are not very good, the geographical factor is the magic weapon for success.

The so-called time is the time when the war occurs. For the Central Mine, it is indeed not a good time now. General Fuxin's elite troops are staying on the edge of the Seven Mountains Mine. He is in good condition and there is no absence of senior management.

The timing of the action was too urgent, and there was no pre-war preparation. The opponent's reaction was quite fast, and there were basically no major mistakes in the decision-making.

Not to mention the harmony of people. This army composed of miners and slaves cannot be said to be so terrifying, but it can only be said to be on the verge of death, and it is a bit difficult to build fortifications.

In terms of education, most of the demons cannot pass orders well. Once an order passes through the mouths of three demons, it will be completely unrecognizable.

Batman tried to use the materials in the mine to rub large traps and machines by hand, but the problem is that these things need to be controlled by people, and almost no demon can accurately complete the actions Batman said.

The time and people are basically rotten, so the only breakthrough is the same as in the war he referenced, that is, the geographical advantage.

According to the number of people on the opposite side and the number of people on our 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 felt that the strategic space he had was even larger than the war he had referenced. After all, the demons did not need so many survival supplies, and they did not need to consider logistics when they moved.

Moreover, the location was in the mine, where there were not so many strategically valuable locations. The more evenly important the locations were, the less things needed to be considered when making tactical arrangements.

If the difficulty of a large-scale war based on countries was about high-level calculus, the difficulty of a war based on mines was about two-digit addition and subtraction. The basics and principles were similar, but the difficulty was very different. They were all hellish difficulties, and there were also novices and veterans.

At the same time, all the miners and slaves who were still in the mines knew every speck of dust about the mines they worked in every day.

After a day's statistics, there were more than 60 large mines in the entire central mine, more than 30 abandoned mines, and many small and medium-sized mountain caves formed due to natural reasons, totaling more than 100. Most of these caves were connected by narrow stairs or corridors, and the terrain was very complex.

This mine was developed more than 1,000 years ago. General Rot Heart has only taken over the mine for more than 300 years. According to the native races in the mine, General Rot Heart's elite troops will never enter here. They hate these stinky slaves and have never even come in to see them.

Those complicated passages, sometimes even old miners will get lost. Even if they are riding in 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 does not know us.

Of course, the internal structure of the mine is a later story. The first thing they have to do is to defend the attacking vanguard outside the mine.

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

There is a gully between the big peaks on the north and the south, and the mine cart passes through it. The mine cart tunnel is not blocked.

Batman's main tactic is that since he is defending the mountain, he must give full play to the advantage of attacking from high and low. New caves have been dug above the gates and small gates to attack the troops rushing to the gates, and the mine car tunnels in the gullies are deliberately not blocked. Once the attack on the main gate is frustrated, they will definitely attack the tunnels.

The tunnel is located between the two mountains, with hillsides on both sides. In other words, as long as they dare to pass through the tunnel, they must be at the lowest point of the mountain. At this time, standing on every point on the hillside, they have the advantage of attacking from high and low.

Because the physical constitution of the demon miner slaves is generally weaker than that of the demon soldiers on the opposite side, and there are fewer people, they cannot withstand consumption, so Batman simply does not attack the front at all. The most abundant thing in the mine is heavy rocks and sharp ores. In the first wave of attack, throw as many as you can.

Although the demons in the vanguard are strong, not all of them can use armor protection magic. Their heavy armor can withstand the stabbing of spears or the slashing of swords, but it cannot withstand the boulders rolling down from hundreds of meters high.

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

Batman stood on the top of the big mountain on the north side, commanding the demons to throw one after another huge rock blocks that had been prepared long ago from the top of the mountain. The reason why the central mine is called the big mine is because the mountain is very large and the peak is very high, so the stones have enough energy storage time.

Countless boulders rolled down from the top of the mountain, and rows and rows of strong demon heavy armored soldiers raised their weapons and charged towards the gate. When they saw the falling rocks, it was too late.

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

In the second wave of charge, they wanted to take a flank encirclement and split into several teams to rush to the gate from the side slope, but as long as there were enough stones, there would always be unlucky people who would be hit down, and even if they rushed to the gate, they had to find a way to break the door. When standing at the door, they would still be hit by huge stones.

The opponent's commander was not a good person either. After the two waves of charge failed, he quickly responded. Many flying insects flew up from the garrison. Batman squinted his eyes and found that there were things like bombs hanging on the insects' foot hooks. It seemed that this was an enemy bomber.

Indeed, during the bombing, the miner slaves could not show up to push the stones, and Batman had no flying cards to play, but this did not mean that he could not use interference tactics.

In addition to the most abundant stones and wood in the mine, there is also a large amount of logs for structural support. Batman had already asked the demon miners to cut the logs and pile them in the designated location.

When the insect bomber approached the mountain, it suddenly saw thick smoke coming out from the opposite hill. Soon the whole mountain seemed to be on fire, shrouded in smoke, like a fairyland.

Batman hit the mark by accident. The weakness of this insect bomber is the smoke. This is why Astro's flying thorn army can make him proud. The flying thorn demon is the only one among all the flying soldiers in hell who is not afraid of smoke.

However, even if the insect bomber is not afraid of smoke, it is useless, because the long-term stable situation has not made the intensity of large-scale wars in hell high. Many wars, except for magic assistance, are basically still at the level of charging each other in the Middle Ages.

Also, because the demons in hell are physically strong and do not need so much assistance, they are not like humans, because they are weak, so they roll up their weapons and vehicles.

The insect bomber mainly relies on the eyes to locate. There is no thermal imaging, no infrared sensing, no radar scanning, no command center positioning. With the smoke and dust, nothing can be seen clearly, so naturally it can only be drawn by chance.

Many insect bombers have also found a way, that 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 weapons of the demon miners can also be thrown on their heads.

The trolls have developed upper limb strength and are the best spear throwers. The insect bombers cannot wear heavy armor. As long as they are touched a little, they will crash. The vision is not good to begin with. There is no way to see the opponent's actions in advance. Within just ten minutes of the air charge, two-thirds of the insect bombers lost their tactical role.

After that, just like a turn-based battle, the commander of the opponent tried every means to break through the gate, and Batman used his tactical mind to formulate various methods to crack the attack and make full use of the resources in the mine.

Finding it difficult to break through the main gate, they moved to the side gate. Finding that the side gate was also arranged, they set their sights on the mine car tunnel between the gullies.

Just as Batman expected, here, the advantage of terrain was brought to the extreme. Not only could they attack from high to low, but they could also attack from both sides. There was sufficient side firepower in the first and second half, and they finally caused actual casualties on the other side for the first time.

The more ancient the war, the more difficult it was to fight sieges and mountain attacks. On the one hand, without the support of the air force, it was very difficult to attack from low to high, and the casualties would be much greater than those on the defenders.

On the other hand, if there is no shortage of resources in the city, it is normal for the ancient siege to last one or two years. The defenders are not in a hurry. As long as the city is in their hands, it is their advantage. However, the attackers are very anxious because they may slow down their offensive rhythm of the full-scale war if they fail to capture the city for a long time.

Next, it was the endurance competition. General Fuxin's elite troops rushed up in waves and retreated in waves. The miner slaves emerged in waves and went back in waves. The competition was about who would run out of physical strength first.

Batman knew that the situation was not optimistic in this regard. The number of miner slaves was small and their physical fitness was weak. Carrying stones back and forth, burning logs, and throwing spears almost exhausted the physical strength of all the soldiers who could fight.

And it was no surprise that after about two days and one night of defensive fighting, the gate of the mine was still breached.

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