Chapter 85 Counterattack

"Back off, back off!" I loudly ordered everyone to start to retreat. The enemy was gradually approaching us. If we didn't retreat and get entangled with the enemy, we would be in trouble.

Seeing that we were about to retreat to the maze alley behind, the enemy immediately rushed faster. Although they tried very hard to kill us before we hid in the passage, our combat steps were carefully planned, and even a simple retreat was not as simple as it seemed. The enemies who were halfway chasing suddenly fell into the trap. After losing many people, they continued to chase us. Unfortunately, we had already entered the passage.

The enemy army, which lacked command personnel, was completely unwary of this maze, so they chased us all the way into the maze formation. Several cavalrymen chased me all the way, and there was an intersection in front of me. I didn't turn and rushed straight across. Of course, those cavalrymen also chased me forward. But as soon as they reached the intersection, two demon dolls suddenly rushed out one on the left and one on the right. I didn't bother to look back at all. I knew the outcome when I heard the scream.

In another place, a group of enemy cavalry targeted one of our men, and the chase broke out again. On a straight stretch of road, our people ran over quickly, but a steel bar suddenly stretched out from the side and was directly inserted into the corresponding hole in the opposite wall. The steel bar was just high enough to reach the cavalry but not the horses. So after a clatter, the horses all rushed over, but the cavalry fell off. The cavalrymen got up from the ground and shook their heads to refresh themselves. Suddenly, a small door opened on the side of the passage, and several people rushed out and slashed at them. When the troops behind them caught up, they only saw bloodstains on the ground and the chopped-up humanoid cavalry, while their horses stood aside in a daze.

A large number of enemy infantry rushed into the alley and began to pursue our troops. However, when we reached a passage, our people suddenly fell down collectively. A big hammer was thrown over their heads. Almost all the enemies behind were knocked away. go out.

Such tricks are constantly being performed in the passage. Ordinarily, such battles should not appear in regular army battles. But we made it happen anyway. There are two reasons why it went so smoothly. The first reason is that it was planned long ago. We arranged a large number of sniper archers and Japanese ninjas to assassinate the enemy commanders before the war started. The Japanese guild also bought several cities, and they also had to contribute to the defense of the city. Although they were not happy that I directed this battle, the Japanese still had to send a large number of ninjas to help with the assassination for their own benefit. The direct consequence of this plan was that when the Indonesian troops rushed into the maze formation, there were no middle or lower-level commanders. These soldiers only knew how to charge and did not consider other issues at all. The result was that our plan was successfully implemented. Another reason for success this time was that I entered the demon world and killed the opponent's commander-in-chief. Originally this was not part of our plan, but it just happened to happen. Because there is no general commander, the enemy has no tactics at all.

The enemy continued to advance in the passage, but as the distance increased, their number of personnel became smaller and smaller. Tens of thousands of enemies suddenly appeared from hundreds of alleys at the same time, and they entered a place like a street. These people immediately became excited, thinking that they had finally broken through the maze. At this time, I appeared on the street with a few players who were running very fast. Then I pretended to be panicked and shouted: "Ah! No, the enemy is coming in!" After shouting, I immediately turned around and ran away. Almost all the players around me are cavalry types, so I have chosen them early. Those of us fled at an unimaginable speed, which made the enemies behind us even more excited. They shouted and chased after us.

The street reserved for them is very long and sloping. The slope is not small. The enemy didn't care about this at all. Seeing the dawn of victory, they howled excitedly and rushed forward, but unfortunately, this was not their path to victory. But our super trap.

The enemy's pursuit suddenly stopped because they noticed that none of us were running away. This seems to be a dead end, with a wall at the back blocking the way, and there are no passages on both sides. It is completely blocked. "Hahahaha! You are running! Have you been harmed by your own maze?" The Indonesian regional guards laughed at us without showing off their pride.

We all pretended to be panicked about being chased into a dead end. The enemy laughed while approaching us, but when they were less than ten meters away from us, we suddenly regained our composure. "Haha! Goodbye everyone!" I waved to them with a smile, and then I ducked into a passage that suddenly appeared on the side with those players. After we entered the passage disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared.

The enemy hasn't figured out what's going on yet. There was a sudden click, and the high wall that originally blocked our escape suddenly fell down. All the enemies were stunned. Behind the wall was a huge roller that looked like a roller. This cylindrical roller was made of steel and was covered with dense steel nails. The roller is completely solid and weighs almost eight thousand tons. Combined with those steel ingots, its destructive power is astonishing.

Now the enemy knows why this passage is tilted. They also knew how stupid they were to pursue him. But it was too late. Two golems opened the holders on both sides at the same time, and then another 100 golems pushed behind the roller at the same time. Once the giant roller started moving, it couldn't stop. Because it was downhill, the roller rolled faster and faster. The enemies below had already begun to run away. This time, they used a speed that was more than twice as fast as when they were chasing us and rushed towards the road they were coming from. However, this speed still didn't seem to be enough.

The 8,000-ton weight of the roller rolled up and shook the earth. Except for the enemies who were being chased, the other enemies were wondering what was making such a big movement, but they would soon know what it was.

The maze array suddenly retracted underground in an instant, and the city streets turned into a large straight passage. Those enemies were still wondering about the sudden closing of the maze, but when they were brought back from their thoughts by the huge sound, what they saw was a large group of companions rushing towards them. When these people saw their companions running so vigorously, they took a look behind them, so they also joined the running team.

There was a spectacle of tens of thousands of people running wildly on the streets of Samarinda. The slowest among them had probably broken the world record. Unfortunately, the big guy behind was even faster than them. The weight of eight thousand tons can crush even a tank into a discus. These soldiers can think of nothing but running. The cavalry still has mounts after all, but mages and warriors are the most unlucky. Those mages are the slowest. The steel steamroller swept through the mage team and left a patch of red on the ground.

The second-lowest heavy infantry was quickly overtaken. After the super roller rushed through the entire team, it left a large number of red marks and some metal flakes on the ground. Those were originally armors and weapons, but now they have become cakes. Although the cavalry ran fast, they were still a little slower than the rollers. We only heard the sound of squeezing flies, and the cavalry and their horses turned into red fragments.

The roller rushed all the way to the bottom of the city wall and then bounced up and flew out of the city wall before stopping. All that was left in the city was the bloody ground. There was a crash. The labyrinth formation rose again, but the enemy no longer dared to charge. Who can guarantee that there is only one roller?

After this super terrifying crusher plan, the enemy's remaining strength is less than three million. Including Indonesian players, it can probably be gathered around four million, which means that the number of enemies is now nearly twice that of ours. It seems that there are still many enemies, but due to the huge disparity in firepower between the two sides, if the number is less than three times ours, the total strength of the enemies will no longer be as good as ours.

"It's time to fight back." I gestured to the back. One player immediately lit a small box nearby. Just three bang bang bang sounds were heard, and red, white and blue flares flew into the sky.

Boom boom boom boom. The cannons in the fleet began to fire continuously, and we were about to fight back. The spear formation flew over our heads with bundles of bombs, and a flash of fire appeared on the enemy's position.

"The counterattack begins!"

"Kill!"

Our big counterattack was too sudden, and the enemy was just frightened by the super steamroller. Now our sudden counterattack completely confused them. As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain. As long as there are deserters on the battlefield, people will continue to join the deserters, and eventually it will turn into a great rout. This is why the army is so good at destroying deserters. Now the enemy is frightened out of fear, middle and low-level officers have been killed collectively, and no one is supervising these soldiers to fight. At first, they rushed into the city relying on habitual thinking. Now after seeing the terrible situation, some people began to flee, and some who were less courageous immediately followed. As the number of escapees continued to increase, the enemies behind them who were unclear about the situation became even more confused.

The fierce shelling and the driving force of the deserters, coupled with our massive counterattack, made the enemy completely lose their judgment. Total collapse finally occurred. The enemies dropped their weapons and began to flee backwards. Since the NPC system of "Zero" was upgraded to humanization, the fear of death has also appeared in the consciousness of NPCs. In order to survive, they began to flee crazily. Those Indonesian players knew what was going on, but they didn't know what was going on. This can't be stopped. Although these NPCs attack the city together with them, they only have a cooperative relationship and have no superior-subordinate relationship. Players cannot command regional guards.

The collapse of NPCs made Indonesian players very depressed. And we are just as depressed here. The original plan was to completely annihilate the enemy forces. It's good now that the enemy won't fight us at all. He ran all the way out of the combat area and then opened the space door and ran away until no one was left. Although we chased the enemy's tail and slashed and blasted them all the way, in the end almost two million area guards returned to the demon world. The failure of these guards this time was only due to a problem with their command system, not their own strength, so we can't stop them even if they want to escape. Fortunately, only two million escaped, so there shouldn't be too serious consequences.

Although all the NPCs ran away, the Indonesian players did not retreat. We stopped the pursuit after we reached the entrance of the demon world. Once you enter that place, you will not be able to get out. We don’t want to be buried with those two million enemies. After giving up the plan to enter the devil world, we turned around and started chasing the Indonesian players. The Chinese have a saying that a good man will not suffer the immediate losses, but the Indonesians did not seem to believe this and insisted on fighting us to the death after so many unfavorable conditions appeared at the same time. These one million players are simply not enough to watch. We almost beat these people to death. Surrounded by a large group of Warcraft, American players kept shooting with guns, like a massacre. Those who were not interested left early and went back to tidy up the city. The pre-war agreement was that after the battle, everyone would jointly repair the city and pay for the repair costs. After all, this war was fought for everyone.

This battle was a beautiful one. Our tactics were also very successful. When the enemy left the Demon Realm, there were a total of 12 million regular troops, not including World of Warcraft and players. When they returned, there were only 2 million regular troops left, and all Warcraft and players were dead. It can be said that the enemy was completely weakened this time.

Compared to the enemy, our personnel losses were almost negligible. From beginning to end, we lost more than 20,000 players, which is about one-tenth of the total force. In terms of Warcraft and city guards, almost all are losses to our guild, but the guards can be resurrected automatically. This cannot be considered a loss, and each participating guild will have to pay to compensate for our losses. After all, personnel participating in the war cannot be in vain.

Although the human losses were not large this time, the material losses were considerable. Our guild lost a city in the sky, and those guilds agreed to share the loss. In addition, our guild used artillery shells and bombs worth 30 million crystal coins in this battle, and this must also be reimbursed. On many battleships, the rifling of the guns was smoothed, and even the barrels had to be replaced.

In addition to our guild, other guilds also paid a lot of material costs. But everyone can still afford this. The biggest headache for everyone is Samarinda. Repairing this city is no longer as simple as repairing it. More than 80% of the city was damaged during the battle. What is said to be repair is actually basically equal to reconstruction. Nothing in the city is usable anymore and everything needs to be replaced.

After the battle, everyone gathered for a short meeting, thinking that responsibilities had been distributed before the war. This meeting simply clarified the division of labor and ended in a few minutes. After everyone was assigned the task, they started working on their own. I arrived at Essinger first, and there should be a third battle after that. We don’t know the specific situation and must go to Vina to ask clearly so we can prepare in advance.

It was already early in the morning when I arrived at Essinger, but Wei Na didn't need to sleep anyway, so there was no need to worry about disturbing her. Vina didn't seem surprised at all when I walked into her room. "Is it over?" she asked flatly.

"Aren't you surprised why I came back so soon?"

"What's so strange?" Wei Na seemed to take this for granted.

"The enemies are several times greater than ours. Isn't it surprising that I came back so soon?"

"I might be surprised if your fleet didn't have so many cannons, but now I don't feel surprised at all. You must have been bullying them with artillery fire from the beginning to the end. The regional guards in Indonesia probably suffered heavy losses from your bombings. So when we rushed into the city, there was almost no one around. You must have fought back fiercely afterwards. As a result, all the enemies were wiped out. Am I right?"

"I have to admire your reasoning ability, but it's a pity that you guessed part of it wrong."

"Huh? Am I wrong?" This time Wei Na finally became curious. "What's wrong?"

"It's the same from the beginning, but there are some differences at the end. The Indonesian regional guards were not completely wiped out. They suddenly collapsed when we launched a counterattack, and then we chased them all the way to the entrance of the Demon Realm. These guys still have more than two million times left. When we arrived in the Demon Realm, we were afraid that we would not be able to get out, so we did not chase him in, and the other party also closed the entrance to the Demon Realm."

"They actually fled? What a surprise! What is their commander doing? Where is the supervising team? Why did they suddenly flee?"

"This is an accident. I was sucked into the demon world to protect other players. As a result, I killed their commander and vanguard general in the demon world. When the whole battle started, the opponent no longer had a supreme commander. As for the supervising team and Lower-level commanders. Those were all assassinated by us, and the soldiers on the other side were basically fighting spontaneously. There was no one to direct them."

"No wonder!" Wei Na nodded: "It would be easier to explain if there is no command staff."

"Vina, we let go of two million enemies this time. Will there be any problems in the subsequent battles?"

Wei Na thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid the subsequent battle will be more difficult, but the problem shouldn't be too serious."

"why?"

"I told you before that the area guards defended a total of three times. They did not come at the first opportunity. This attack was actually the second time. According to regulations, the amount of troops sent out for the second time was the same as for the first time. Twice. The enemies you encountered this time are 12 million, which means that the enemies in the first attack should be about 6 million. According to the regulations, the number of troops sent out for the third time should be the sum of the previous two, which is That is to say, the maximum number of troops sent out for the third time is 18 million."

"I'm dizzy! Eighteen million dollars and you still say it's okay?"

"Listen to me!" Wei Na explained: "This troop dispatch regulation limits the proportion of the first and second troop dispatches in the total force. If you only occupy one city in Indonesia, three times Of course, each time you send more troops than the previous one in order. But you occupy the entire territory, and the amount of troops sent should be the total strength of regional guards in the country. In other words, these 18 million regional guards should be the entire defense strength of Indonesia. Like the city guards, the regional guards can automatically refresh the replenishment quantity, but the speed of this replenishment is not to replace one immediately after death, which takes time. The total strength of Indonesia's regional guards is 18 million, and this battle sent Twelve million come out, which means that there are still 6 million troops in the Demon Realm. If you release 2 million and run back, the enemy will become 8 million. Counting the troops added during this period, the next attack will be It would be good if they could raise 9 million at that time. In this battle, the enemy sent 12 million troops, but in the end, they asked you to kill 10 million and escape with 2 million. Next time, you only need to deal with less than 9 million troops. , can’t you still stop it?”

"Of course we can't stop it! The main success this time is to destroy the opponent's command system. The opponent will not be so easily fooled next time. And we have already revealed many of our strategies to the enemy. The enemy should not be so easily fooled next time. . In addition, our Windmill City helped a lot in this battle, but the Windmill City has crashed. We won’t be able to get out the second one before the next battle. How can we defend it?”

"It seems you have a lot of problems to solve!"

"That's why I have such a headache!" I leaned on the recliner and looked at the ceiling and said: "The next attack time is only 24 hours away. I'm afraid we won't have time to restore the city's functions. Don't say that the strategy will fail in the next battle, there won't even be a city wall. , we really don’t know how to defend it!”

Wei Na suddenly came over and leaned next to me and said, "Aren't you usually very bad? Why did you suddenly become better this time?"

"Huh?" Wei Na's sudden change of tone made me a little confused. "what do you mean?"

"You can't think of this?" Wei Na said: "Let me give you some hints! The first hint is, what is the relationship between a country's defense force? The second hint is, how does the utilitarian theory you often use deal with this kind of thing? "

"Utilitarian theory?" I thought about it and suddenly realized it. "Yes! Why didn't I think of that! Damn it! Haha, Wei Na, you are so smart!"

After saying goodbye to Vina, I happily ran back to Indonesia. Rose and the others were directing the reconstruction work in Samarinda. Seeing my excitement, Rose and Eagle both knew that I must have found a solution, so they gathered around me and asked me how I was going to deal with the third NPC revenge.

I took them out of Samarinda first. There were too many people there, and my plan was not allowed to be known to outsiders. When everyone arrived in Garland City, it was relatively easy to find a secret place in our own city.

In a small conference room, I said to them: "The so-called method is..."
