The battlefield chosen by the Public Security King happened to cut off the reinforcement route of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army.
Moreover, this low hill is the only commanding height on the nearby gentle terrain, and it is also the only open space with sparse vegetation.
Although ants are small in size, they have strong climbing abilities and can overcome almost any terrain obstacle.
However, the march of a large army is different from the movement of a single ant. Only relatively open and flat roads can allow the army to advance at a higher speed, while maintaining formation and saving physical strength and time.
If the reinforcements of the pavement ant barbarian army do not want to get entangled with the tangled grass roots in the grass and have their queue become fragmented, they can only choose a few flat paths.
The King of Public Security suddenly appeared with his army, occupied this low hill, and cut this natural marching route into two sections.
What's even more terrible is that if the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army wants to withdraw to their starting base in time to spend the night without detouring before dusk, they will inevitably need to pass through this place.
If this place is cut off, not only will the Pavement Ant barbarian army on the front line lose their reinforcements, but their return route will also be cut off. If they cannot arrive in time by taking a detour, they will have no choice but to risk spending the night in the wild.
The King of Public Security adopted the protagonist's suggestion and relied on the Flying Knight's investigation to hit the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army within seven inches.
Because the Public Security King's group arrived suddenly and took a large circle back to the flank, they successfully avoided the scouts of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army.
The warriors of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army, who were arranged in a thin marching column, did not even have time to assemble their troops and form a formation, and were scattered and defeated in an instant.
Subsequently, the public security king did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but immediately organized his troops to establish a circular defensive position on the low hill, preparing for the next fierce battle.
The soldiers of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army who collapsed quickly passed the information about the attack on this place to all directions.
The several pavement ant barbarian army legions that were rushing to the front line were the first to react. They stopped advancing and began to gather and assemble their forces near the public security king's cluster, hoping to launch an offensive.
Seeing that the enemy was not gathering troops quickly and there were not many troops that had been assembled, the Public Security King felt that he had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Therefore, the King of Public Security led the legion directly under him, as well as several other legions with stronger combat effectiveness, to seize the fleeting opportunity and take advantage of the opportunity when the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army had not yet established a stable foothold and had not yet completed its assembly to launch an attack.
The legion directly under the King of Public Security has fought alongside the protagonist's legion of the Envoy King. It has undergone military reforms and is good at centralizing the originally scattered soldier ant warriors to form a fist. It is one of the few main nest legions that has mastered this tactic.
Some of the other legions that coordinated the attack have also learned this tactic, and some are leaders in traditional tactics, and their combat effectiveness is not weak.
On the other hand, as for the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army, the troops being assembled were all second-rate troops and had not been selected as the forward troops. Their commanders also lacked experience, so they were brazenly making pre-battle preparations under the eyes of the enemy and lacked preparedness.
The Northern Expeditionary Army of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom will not just wait for the enemy to be ready.
The King of Public Security led these legions to quickly break into the enemy's formation, waiting for work and prepared to attack.
These enemy troops were all in offensive formations, and the formations were not deep. After failing to withstand the first wave of advance, the thin front line was quickly broken through, leaving countless gaps, large and small.
As the formation shattered, the commanders of these Paving Ant barbarian armies led their armies in retreat.
The King of Public Security did not lead his troops to pursue too far, but immediately returned to reinforce the defense.
In this way, the first spontaneous counterattack by the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army was defeated.
Subsequently, more and more reinforcements came from the departure base of the Pao Dao Ant Barbarian Army. After all, less than fifty legions of the Pao Dao Ant Barbarian Army arrived at the front line, and half of the legions did not set off near the departure base.
It took less than an hour to rush from the departure base to the public security king's defensive position. Sensing that the situation was not good, the paving ant barbarian army began to mobilize troops and generals, hoping to eat up the northern expeditionary army of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom.
In fact, there are many paths from the starting base to the front line. The Pavement Ant Barbarian Army can also choose to take a long way to continue to the front line.
However, a large and elite enemy force stuck at a key point on the road not only cuts off the road, but can also threaten the teams marching on other routes at any time.
Without destroying or driving out this enemy force, no mature commander dares to take the risk of being surprised at any time.
This force is an existing force. As long as it exists, it will make the enemy uncomfortable and have trouble sleeping and eating.
Historically, after the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's army returned north, leaving General Cao Ren and his elite troops to defend Jiangling, while Le Jin, Man Chong and other troops were in Nanyang as backup.
The Sun-Liu coalition wanted to capture Jiangling. Except for Zhou Yu who led the main force east of the Yangtze River to attack the city with all his strength, the two armies of Liu Bei and Guan Yu were cruising on both sides of the Han River. They were not in a hurry to engage in battle and always maintained their presence.
Since the Hanshui River Valley is an important transportation route from Nanyang to Jiangling, the tactical significance of Liu Bei and Guan Yu's army is to serve as typical troops. As long as they are there, Cao Cao's army in Nanyang cannot safely go south to support Jiangling.
At the same time, the two armies of Liu and Guan supported each other. Not only could Cao's army be unable to capture the main forces of the two armies, they also did not dare to attack with all their strength even if they had fighter planes, fearing that the other army would sneak attack from behind.
In the end, Cao Ren, who was worried that his retreat would be cut off, was forced to abandon Jiangling, and the Sun-Liu coalition achieved its strategic goal.
Now, although the Public Security King is a lone army, its significance as an existing force is still there.
——I am the dividing line——
The Pavement Ant barbarian army gathered more and more. At the beginning, the Public Security King took the initiative to lead his army to attack several times, defeating some of the enemies in front of them and slowing down the enemy's gathering speed.
However, as the number of enemy troops increases, the risk of taking the initiative to attack becomes greater and greater. If you are not careful, you may be dragged down by the enemy, and then surrounded and eaten.
Therefore, after realizing that the enemy's assembled strength had reached twenty legions, which was equal to his own, the Public Security King stopped taking the initiative to attack.
At this time, the pavement ant barbarian army also stopped gathering.
After all, although the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army is large in number, fifty legions are already fighting on the front lines, and some legions are not ready. It is not easy to assemble these twenty legions in a short time.
If you want to further enrich your troops, more time will be needed. As it gets darker, the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army, which is eager to open up the traffic line, no longer has enough time.
As a result, the assembled Pavement Ant Barbarian Army began to move forward, preparing to launch an attack.
