——I am the dividing line——
It was precisely because the Southern Corps and the Northern Corps of the Northern Expeditionary Army were well prepared and by chance that they successfully defeated the first counterattack of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army.
On that day, the Pavement Ant barbarian army suddenly swarmed toward the junction of the Northern Expeditionary Army's defense lines in large numbers at sunrise, and frantically attacked a nest on the front line that was stationed by the Northern Army Corps.
Since it was early in the morning, the flying knights had not yet taken off for routine reconnaissance, so they were not able to detect the abnormal movements of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army immediately.
By the time the Flying Knight discovered the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army, their large army had already covered the ground in a dense mass, and was very close to the nest defended by the Northern Corps.
By the time the flying knights took the risk to land and pass the news to the defenders on the ground, the pavement ant barbarian army had already completed the siege of the nest.
This time, the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army successfully evaded the Flying Knight's eyes and ears and carried out a surprise attack.
After the flying knights are used more and more frequently on the battlefield, the pavement ants were not aware of it at the beginning, but now they have become familiar with this new thing.
Although the Pavement Ant Barbarians are still helpless against the flying knights in the air, they have gradually mastered the movement patterns of the flying knights.
In actual combat, they have learned that hiding in the shadows can effectively avoid the flying knight's detection. The Flying Knights must move during the day, leaving two undisturbed operating time windows of early morning and dusk for the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army.
This time, the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army set off at dawn, uncharacteristically, and completed most of their march before the sun fully rose.
When the flying knights finally discovered them, the army of paving ants had already "arrived at the city" and carried out a successful raid.
However, it was this raid that turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the Big-headed Ant Kingdom's Northern Expedition.
According to past practice, after discovering that the enemy has launched an attack on the unit's station, the defenders will come out of the nest to fight, even if their strength is at a disadvantage, and deploy a circular defense line around the entrance and exit of the nest.
But this time, in the lair that was attacked, the defenders of the Northern Corps of the Northern Expeditionary Army only had ten legions and more than 10,000 soldiers. The Pavement Ant Barbarian Army attacking them had only forty legions and more than 60,000 soldiers who had arrived on the battlefield. Soldiers and a steady stream of reinforcements are pouring out from the starting base, forming a long line and heading towards the target at high speed.
If the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom knows the information in advance and fights according to the usual practice, even if the soldiers of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom have stronger individual combat effectiveness, the troops will be exhausted in a short time due to the huge military disadvantage. This The nest may not last for a day.
Due to the late receipt of the information, the first batch of soldiers of the Northern Corps encountered the enemy as soon as they emerged from their lair.
The first batch of warriors didn't even have time to set up their formations before they were scattered and defeated by the already prepared ant barbarian army.
Fortunately, their sacrifices bought some time for the follow-up troops.
The second group of troops relied on the ant mound of the nest and hurriedly set up a very short defensive position at the entrance of the nest.
This position is too small, and the contact front between the two sides is only one decimeter long. In this way, the numerical advantage of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army was instantly suppressed, and both sides could only continue to fill the battle line with soldiers who, although short, fought extremely cruelly and tragically.
The entrance to the lair was filled with flames of war and fierce fighting. Countless corpses and body parts soon covered the ground with a thick layer. Soldiers on both sides had to continue fighting between the corpses of their comrades and the enemy. As long as any warrior recklessly left the cover of her comrades and rushed forward, she would never survive the next second.
As time went by, the numerically superior Pavement Ant Barbarian Army successfully pushed the front forward. The soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom were no longer able to gain a foothold on the ground. They were forced back by increasingly heavy military pressure. underground.
But in the underground lair, the defenders who still have sufficient strength can rely on the complex maze passages to resist step by step. However, in the underground combat of the soldiers of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army, the disadvantage of individual combat effectiveness is infinitely magnified.
Finally, after the quantitative advantage was offset by the qualitative disadvantage in street fighting, the front lines of both sides stabilized, and it was difficult for each other to take another step forward.
——I am the dividing line——
After the flying knights detected the enemy's large-scale dispatch, they immediately reported the battle situation to the protagonist far to the south.
Due to the long distance, the protagonist did not receive the information until more than two hours later in the morning.
At that time, the protagonist was giving military lessons to young male ants. These male ants had just emerged from pupae and were receiving education in "Dongyang City".
The protagonist took the time to come and teach them military knowledge. The teaching contents were basically some battle cases in the past, including the battle cases of the Divine Envoy King's Legion, and some other battle cases that the protagonist knew, including the battle cases exchanged by the King of Public Security, the King of the West, and the King of Floating Leaves. .
The protagonist will explain the gains and losses in the battle and lead these young male ants to review the battle. The protagonist hopes that through this kind of teaching that is different from the traditional teaching in the ant world, a new generation of military talents can be cultivated.
After all, the Legion of the God Envoy King is expanding rapidly. Not only is there a shortage of grassroots commanders, there are also many legion commanders whose protagonists are not satisfied with their military qualities. One can only hope that new ants will grow up quickly and fill the vacancies.
After receiving the battle report from the north, the protagonist knew that the front line was temporarily stable, so he was not so anxious. He compiled the battle situation into an information package and sent it to all students, asking them to simulate responding to the attack as commanders.
Soon, the students' "homework" was handed back, and the protagonist did find a few seedlings who responded well, although there was still a big gap between them and his requirements.
The protagonist announced his response plan.
Later, this plan was brought back to the north by the Flying Knights and reported to the commanders of the Southern Corps and Northern Corps of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the form of suggestions.
——I am the dividing line——
The King of Public Security was on the march when he received the protagonist's advice from the Flying Knight.
At that time, he led a total of twenty legions and thirty thousand soldiers on the way to the battlefield.
After learning that the front line was under attack, the senior commanders of the Southern Corps and the Northern Corps contacted each other.
Because the nest defenders were suppressed underground from the beginning and could not send out messengers, the Northern Expeditionary Army, which was cut off from the frontline news, could only learn from the Flying Knight that the frontline battle had gone underground.
The commanders of the Northern Expeditionary Army came to the conclusion that the situation in this lair was critical.
Therefore, both the Southern Corps and the Northern Corps each dispatched a unit to prepare for reinforcements.
