This matter still goes back to the Reconquest War at the turn of spring and summer this year.
In the final battle of the War of Reconquest - the battle to recapture the Big Banyan Tree and "Linshui City", the God's Envoy Army worked closely with the Public Security Army and the Western Army, and relied on advanced tactics to win as quickly as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. .
But the significance of this battle not only marked the successful end of this year's War of Reconquest, but also meant that the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army had an opportunity for military change.
Among the enemies, there is a lucky ant barbarian king, let's call him "Lucky" for the time being.
He was first responsible for leading his army to set up defenses at the roots of the banyan tree. However, his position only lasted for a short while before being broken through by the Public Security Army and the Western Army.
"Lucky" then led the remnant army to retreat to the tree trunk, and together with the friendly forces, established a circular defense circle on the tree trunk. This was also the front line on which the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army placed its greatest hope.
However, this front line was easily breached again, which completely overturned the experience of the war with the yellow big-headed ant barbarians passed down by the pavement ant ancestors. This made the ant barbarian king extremely confused and lost his mind.
"Lucky" was desperately dragged back by the loyal worker ant guards. Under the hunt of the Big-headed Ant Expedition, he had no way to hide at the entrance of "Linshui City" and could only struggle to escape to the top of the big banyan tree canopy.
At that time, the Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Force did not care about the Pavement Ant King, which had lost almost all of his men. They were busy wiping out the stubborn enemy troops and preparing to launch a general attack on "Linshui City".
But it was such a down-and-out pavement ant king who failed to attract any extra attention from the big-headed ants, and became the biggest variable.
No one knows what "lucky" hiding on the swaying branches or leaves is thinking in the darkness of this night. Is he tasting the bitter wine called "failure"? Or are you reluctantly recalling the day's battles in order to find out the enemy's weaknesses? At least, he must have today's experience firmly etched in his mind.
After sunrise the next day, the battle continued, and the pavement ant army was already gone. The sporadic battles that broke out on this day were nothing more than the desperate struggle of the pavement ant warriors. On this day, the entire "Linshui City" completely announced that it had changed hands.
The Big-headed Ant expeditionary force, which easily won, did not notice that at the end of the battle, "Lucky" and a few worker ant guards were forced onto a banyan leaf by the Big-headed Ant warriors.
The king ordered the worker ants to bite off the petioles. He would rather drown in the river than be killed and humiliated by what he regarded as the big-headed ant barbarians.
After the leaves tumbled several times in the air, Lucky and the worker ants firmly grasped the leaves and then fell to the river. Fortunately, he was indeed very lucky. He did not fall into the water and was still lying firmly on the leaves. Only one of the worker ants beside him was still there, and another one fell into the water and swam up the leaf. The other worker ants disappeared in the process of falling.
The big-headed ants are helpless about their luck in floating on the river. Most of the big-headed ants cannot even see clearly what is on the leaves in the distance. Therefore, after this small episode was reported to the kings by a few big-headed ant warriors, it was completely ignored.
With the help of the breeze, this fallen leaf was quietly blown to the north bank of the river. There is the territory of the pavement ant kingdom.
Fortunately, he climbed up to the north bank of the river. He quickly found a companion in a nearby auxiliary nest and was taken back. Here, after some rest, he finally adjusted and recovered.
The deputy nest sent a messenger to report the news of the lucky return alive to the main nest of the Paving Ant Barbarian Kingdom. In the past, such failed legions trapped on the south bank of the river rarely had ants escape back to the north bank alive, especially when this was a king.
Therefore, this news was taken seriously by the King's Council of the Pavement Ant Barbarians. They dispatched a force to the secondary nest and escorted or escorted Lucky back to the main nest.
As a rule, commanders like Lucky, whose legions were wiped out in defeat, would often be executed by the King's Council. But this time, because he was lucky enough to bring back a lot of valuable information, the King's Council pardoned him from the responsibility for the defeat.
Lucky's records about the combat effectiveness and unique tactics of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom's army were sent to all the kings, causing an uproar.
All the kings of the paving ants can understand how passive the paving ant army will be once the Big-headed Ant Kingdom Army uses this tactic. And the pavement ant army cannot even replicate this tactic, because no special soldier ants have evolved among the pavement ants.
The intelligence brought back by luck was made into an information package and quickly passed to the kings and kings of the entire Pavement Ant Kingdom. All the Pavement Ants and Male Ants were thinking about how to deal with or even restrain their old enemies' new tactics.
In terms of tactics, pavement ants are slightly more innovative than big-headed ants.
A long time ago, when the two sides fought for the first time in Henan, the Pavement Ant Army suffered defeats again and again because they could not cope with the Big-headed Ants' soldier ants. In the end, even though they clearly had stronger overall national power, they had no choice but to defeat them. No large tracts of territory were lost.
However, the pavement ants did not gain nothing. In countless battles, they gradually figured out a set of tactics that could restrain the big-headed ant soldier ants. This is the strategy that the protagonist has seen before: lure the big-headed soldier ants out of the line, then cut off the connection between the big-headed soldier ants and the worker ants, and prioritize the siege and kill the soldier ants.
Relying on this set of tactics, the pavement ant army once again tied with the big-headed ant army. The two sides were separated from each other by a river, and neither could do anything to the other.
This time, what I was lucky enough to see was mainly the public security corps and the Western Legion's concentrated use of soldier ants, which was not as difficult to understand as the razor tactics of the Divine Envoy King's Legion.
After countless discussions, the Paving Ant Army finally revised a new set of tactics:
During defense, although the enemy's soldier ants are used intensively, it will be difficult for the pavement ant army to cut off the connection between them and the big-headed ant workers as before. However, if the siege force is increased, these soldier ants can still be trapped. Yes, after all, there are only ten worker ants in a team.
When attacking, it was extremely difficult to break through the line of pure Big-headed Ant ants head-on. The Pavement Ant Barbarian Army finally discovered that if the first row did not attack, but tried to squeeze into the middle of the huge Big-headed Ant workers, there was a way. Destroy the integrity of their formation to breach the defence.
This is the tactics that the Divine Envoy King's Legion encountered in "Linshui City". However, this tactics is sufficient to deal with the Public Security Legion and the Western Legion, but it is difficult to deal with the razor tactics of the Divine Envoy King's Legion.
I wonder what kind of changes will be caused after the retreating Pavement Ant Army shares this information?
