If it is just to delay time, there is no doubt that the persistence strategy advocated by Rambofo and Rambotu is more appropriate.
Relying on the solid "bridgehead" fortress established after the beginning of spring, the three legions of the Angel King are firmly entrenched in it. Even if the enemy has a strength advantage of five or six times, they can only be killed alive by the razor tactics of the King of God Legion.
The protagonist also planned this, so he passed on the instructions.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. That afternoon, the protagonist had to convene a second military meeting temporarily, overturning the original plan in the morning.
It turned out that at noon, the flying knight and the patrol team reported the latest information at the same time.
The scouts of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army appeared in groups of three to five in large numbers near the "Bridgehead".
Because they were worried about suffering unnecessary losses in the scout battle, the Angel King's Legion stayed at the "Bridgehead" fortress and the rope bridge with great restraint, and did not go out to contact the enemy.
As for the scouts from the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army who dared to test the two positions of the Divine Envoy Army, the Divine Envoy Army launched a small-scale counterattack mercilessly to repel them.
However, this time the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army obviously has a huge appetite. Although they have basically found out the intelligence in the area near the "Bridgehead", they did not give up on the two positions heavily defended by the Angel King's Army. Constantly testing, not caring about sacrifice at all.
These scouts of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army are obviously experienced veterans who are good at seeking opportunities through constant contact, testing and pulling.
The "Bridgehead" fortress area has the geographical advantage of fortifications, and the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army has never been able to find a chance.
But at the end of the rope bridge, there was a linden tree. The Divine Envoy King's Army did not build fortifications, but deployed defenses along the trunk of the tree.
As a result, by accident, two scouts of the paving ant barbarian tribe found a fleeting opening through repeated pulling, and took the opportunity to slip into the defensive circle.
The soldiers of the God Envoy King's Legion hurriedly divided their forces to pursue, but the two pavement ant barbarian army scouts were very cunning and moved quickly upwards.
While they were moving, they apparently discovered the rope bridge and the soldiers of the First and Second Legions of the God-Emissary King who were constantly crossing the river on the rope bridge.
Some legion soldiers who had just crossed the river also joined the pursuit. They successfully surrounded a Pavement Ant Barbarian Army scout and killed him cleanly.
But another pavement ant scout successfully climbed up to the canopy of the lime tree, then jumped from a small branch and landed lightly on the ground, hiding in the dense vegetation and avoiding the angel. The king's army pursued and intercepted him.
The flying knights hovering in the air also discovered something strange here. They tried to continue chasing the pavement ant barbarian army scout, but on the ground with dense vegetation, aerial tracking was very difficult to sustain, especially tracking a single ant. In the end, they lost track of their target and failed to control the enemy scout who had obtained important information.
This information was quickly reported to the protagonist, who had to change the original plan.
According to the original plan, the Angel King's Legion only needs to hold on to the "Bridgehead". Since the "Bridgehead" fortress is close to the river and has a high underground water level, the underground scale here is not large and can only accommodate a small amount of supplies.
The "Linshui City" on the south bank of the river is the rear base of the "Bridgehead". It can continuously provide supplies through the rope bridge for the "Bridgehead" defenders to continue fighting.
In the protagonist's plan, after Gun's first legion and Lambov's second legion have all crossed the river, the defenses of the rope bridge will be removed.
A tree with no enemy troops and only a strange "vine" should not attract any extra attention from the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army.
Even if occasionally a scout from the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army climbs from the rope bridge to the south bank of the river, an ambush position is prepared there to ensure that the enemy will never come back and the secret will not be leaked.
The transportation of materials from "Linshui City" to "Bridgehead" will also be carried out at night.
In this way, the logistics line of the Divine Envoy Army is almost non-existent to the enemy.
Although this plan was perfect in theory, it failed to keep up with changes in execution. In the process of mobilizing the first and second legions, even though the God Envoy King's legions were on tight defense, the clues were still discovered by the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army.
After the scout ran back to report, the commander of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army, no matter how dull he was, could still tell that there was something fishy about the rope bridge.
The only weakness of the "Bridgehead" fortress is the logistics transportation line. After three entire legions are packed into the underground part of the originally small fortress, the remaining space can hold food, clay bombs and other supplies, which can only support the troops for three days. Combat.
Once the enemy forces divide their forces and control the rope bridge transport line, or even bite the rope bridge off altogether, the protagonist will have no way to repair the rope bridge during this season when the river is not frozen, and the Angel King's army on the north bank of the river will be completely alone. , and lacked supplies for long-term operations.
For the current plan, we can only eliminate this enemy force as soon as possible in the wild, and we must also prevent the enemy from passing on the confidential information about the rope bridge to the rear.
The protagonist summoned Gun and other commanders and began to assign tasks.
Flying Eagle leads the flying knights to closely monitor the enemy's auxiliary nest. Any pavement ants that go from the auxiliary nest to the enemy's rear must be killed to prevent the enemy from transmitting information.
Considering that the individual combat effectiveness of male ants is weak, even if they are equipped with spears and slings, they may not be able to capture the enemy's nimble and cunning veterans.
In order to complete this task, the protagonist also requires each flying knight to carry a soldier ant veteran on his mount. When necessary, these soldier ants will be thrown near the enemy courier, and they will be responsible for completing the final kill.
Flying Eagle was a little reluctant. After all, he wanted the noble male ant to be the driver of the lowly soldier ant. He also wanted to talk about the honor and status of the flying knight. But the protagonist exercised his authority and took a serious attitude, so that even the flying eagle did not dare to explode.
Subsequently, the protagonist ordered the first, second and fourth legions to be prepared to go out in full force to fight an encirclement and annihilation battle.
This encirclement and annihilation battle is difficult. Not only does it need to eliminate the enemy's main force, but it also needs to capture the nearby sub-nest of the paving ant barbarians.
The most difficult point is that the God Envoy King Army must ensure that no enemy army can slip through the net, especially the enemy's male ant commander cannot escape.
In this way, the secret of the rope bridge can be preserved to the greatest extent.
In a battle of annihilation, it is very difficult to ensure that the enemy cannot escape. Especially in terms of military strength, the Legion of the God Envoy King is still at a disadvantage.
With razor tactics, it is not difficult for the God-Emissary King's Army to defeat the enemy head-on. What is difficult is how to prevent the enemy troops from scattering and fleeing after admitting defeat...
If the enemy troops disperse and retreat, no matter how many troops the God's Envoy King has in this area with dense vegetation, there will be no way for fish to escape the net.
