In "Linshui City", after the first battle of the Winter Defense War, the protagonist did not take it lightly. He quickly convened a high-level meeting.
Since there is only a small conference room in "Linshui City", the protagonist did not call all the adult male ants for a meeting. The only participants were the protagonist, Gun, Ramboser, Rambofo, Rambotu and the commander of the Linshui City garrison. Officers are currently senior commanders in the army. Xianggun is the commander of the first legion, Ramboser is his adjutant, Rambofo and Rambotu are the commanders of the second and fourth legions respectively.
The protagonist shared some intelligence feedback from frontline soldiers with everyone, and then asked everyone to study the following two questions.
The first question is about the new tactics used by the Pavement Ant barbarian army. At the meeting, all the kings expressed surprise at the enemy's new tactics. They were not mentally prepared to deal with the enemy's new tactics. After all, the two sides had been fighting each other for hundreds of years, and each other's tactics had improved at a snail's pace. generally.
The protagonist vaguely feels that the change in the enemy is related to the heavy losses they suffered in the spring of this year, but he does not know the specific twists and turns. He can only encourage everyone here and ask everyone not to look at the enemy with the same old and unchanged thinking in the future. Since the God Envoy King's army can use new tactics, the enemy can also use it.
The new tactics of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army did not cause much trouble to the Divine Envoy Army. After all, its targets were the tactics of the Public Security Army and the Western Army. However, the protagonist feels that there are still certain risks if other defenders of the secondary nest encounter this kind of tactics. Big-headed ant warriors are accustomed to fighting in formations, using individual advantage in exchange for a better casualty exchange ratio. Once the front line is divided and a melee situation results, the numerous, small and flexible Pavement Ant Barbarian warriors will obviously be more adaptable.
He also reported this concern to everyone, but all the kings had no good measures. Except for the protagonist, no one could go out to other sub-nests to warn others in winter, and the protagonist obviously could not leave the defense zone lightly.
Afterwards, everyone gave up on this temporarily unsolvable problem and turned to discuss the second problem: too many enemy corpses in the battle causing the razor tactics to fail.
As mentioned before, the core of the razor tactic is that the soldier ants in the second row of the defense line sneak up on the unsuspecting neck of the enemy in front of them, forming a one-hit kill.
In a vast battlefield, no matter how many enemies this tactic kills, there will be no big problem. However, in the specific battlefield in "Linshui City" - the flat hive, as the number of enemy corpses increased, the enemy's follow-up troops needed to step on a large number of corpses to attack again. Unintentionally, the enemy's altitude increased, resulting in the The second row of soldier ants cannot reach the enemy's neck when attacking, while the first row of soldier ants has to deal with the enemy's attacks from high to low.
According to statistics, on the first day of the battle, the enemy army lost about a thousand soldiers, and the Angel King's army also lost thirty soldier ants, most of which were lost at this stage.
The protagonist asks everyone to brainstorm and come up with a solution to this problem. In fact, the protagonist already has a plan in mind, but he still hopes that all the male ants under his command can get used to this kind of group discussion, and through training, they can cultivate independent commanders as soon as possible and avoid having to do everything by themselves.
The results of the meeting were generally satisfactory to the protagonist, and some unfeasible plans were quickly rejected. With his little guidance, the final and perfect plan was consistent with the draft in the protagonist's mind.
After the meeting, the protagonist returned to the flat nest room, where the worker ants of the original "Linshui City" were throwing enemy corpses out of the nest one after another to avoid occupying the space inside the nest.
Since it was already night outside and the temperature was very low, this work was very difficult. The worker ants need to go to the warm inside of the nest to raise their body temperature first, then quickly pick up the body and throw it outside the nest entrance while their physical condition is better, and then crawl back to the nest to keep warm before their bodies are frozen. .
Once there is a delay, the body temperature of some worker ants is not enough to support him in completing the work, and he has to temporarily give up the work or continue to perform at the risk of being frozen. Some worker ants were frozen near the entrance and exit of the nest. Fortunately, a companion carried him back, and there was no non-combat attrition.
After the flat nest battlefield was cleaned up, "Linshui City" seemed to have returned to peace, at least for this night.
——I am the dividing line——
The next day, the sun had just risen, and the protagonist had already arrived at the observation point on the branches outside the nest and continued to look to the north.
He was not kept waiting long. As the first ray of sunlight covered the ground, the starting base of the pavement ant barbarian army on the north bank of the river seemed to come alive. Countless pavement ants whose limbs were numb from the cold night crawled slowly and stiffly. Get on the ground, get into position, stretch your limbs, and let the sunshine drive away the coldness of the night.
Today, the scouts of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army did not go deep into the vicinity of "Linshui City". They only explored new paths on the ice of the river - the ice surface has expanded, and there is no need to take a detour from the ice bridge to reach "Linshui City" .
As the pavement ant army was fully charged, they gathered again and set off, crawling across the river via the shortest path.
Just like yesterday, due to the large number of enemy troops, all forty legions could not climb onto the island. Therefore, except for the two legions that stayed behind to guard the ice bridge, only eight legions landed on the island, and the other thirty legions firmly controlled it. A piece of land on the south bank of the river and a wooden bridge leading to the island.
Among them, the protagonist noticed that one enemy legion was significantly smaller in size, only about half the size of the other legions. This is obviously the forward army that launched the attack yesterday and suffered heavy losses.
But today, this regiment did not land on the island, but was on standby on the south bank of the river. Apparently the enemy troops also rotated. However, no matter how the enemy rotates, only one legion can enter the flat nest battlefield inside "Linshui City" at a time, completely unable to take advantage of numbers and wheel warfare.
With the enemy troops in position, the protagonist once again retreated into "Linshui City" and quietly waited for the outcome of the next day's battle.
The battle on this day seemed to be more intense than the previous day. The protagonist could only feel the tension and intensity on the front line from the vibrations coming from the wooden floor under his feet.
This feeling of being invisible and unable to hear is very sad. Not only the protagonist, but also the commanders of the front-line troops cannot grasp the entire battle situation in the dim flat battlefield. In many cases, only the front-line soldiers themselves know, and It's up to them to adapt.
As soon as the battle ended, the protagonist rushed to the battlefield and asked the commander and soldiers about today's battle situation.
