With the arrival of the second wave of the pavement ant barbarian army's offensive, the black-headed ant warriors on the second front could only step forward to fight. They tried to prevent the counterattack of the pavement ant barbarian army by spraying precious and limited formic acid again.
Two waves of formic acid were sprayed down, and the pavement ant barbarian army was indeed blocked, and they lost nearly a legion of soldiers. On the other hand, there were very few casualties in the black-headed acid ants.
But the trend of strength and weakness has actually been quietly reversing. This loss is just a drop in the bucket for the barbarian army of Pavement Ants. However, the acid liquid of black-headed sour ants cannot be regenerated in a short time.
When the acid mist dissipated slightly, another wave of barbarian army of paving ants prepared to move forward through the battlefield where the corpses were pillowed.
At the same time, the pavement ant barbarian army divided its troops on both wings, opened a huge encirclement net, and prepared to surround them on three sides.
Only one-third of the warriors in the old camp of the black-headed sour ants still have acid reserves, and the warriors who have lost the acid are no match for the barbarian warriors of the pavement ants, whether in terms of size or organization. A huge crisis enveloped this tribe that was ecstatic not long ago.
Black-headed stinky ant warriors emerged from under the base camp and fled to the ground. They had learned about the crisis on the ground from the messenger.
However, there are still more than 3,000 black-headed ant warriors underground who have not come out.
As the pavement ant barbarian army approached the encirclement network little by little, the huge sense of crisis finally made the queen of the black-headed sour ant make up her mind.
As a new burst of pheromones dispersed in the wind, messengers spread the word, and the black-headed ants were ordered to retreat.
The black-headed stinky ant warriors who still had acid reserves began to spray acid madly in all directions, and the entire battlefield was filled with bursts of acid mist.
This acid mist was so thick that even the flying knights watching the battle in the sky could not see clearly the situation of the old camp of black-headed sour ants.
This time, the direction of the acid spray was not concentrated, but towards the entire Pavement Ant Barbarian Army front. Therefore, the acid attack this time was not very effective, but the huge coverage still successfully blocked the advancement of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army.
Before the acid mist dissipated, the black-headed ants bought themselves a limited amount of time.
In the acid mist, the black-headed sour ant army began to break out quickly to the north. According to the scouts, this direction was safe.
The black-headed stinky ant warriors that had exhausted their acid, each holding looted food in their mouths, guarded the queen and evacuated. The last ones left were the soldiers who had just emerged from the base camp. These soldiers still had acid, and they consciously formed the rear army.
As the acid mist gradually dissipated, the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army finally launched a general attack, and countless warriors rushed forward like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
The few black-headed acid ant warriors at the back immediately sprayed acid with all their strength, then turned around and ran away.
The number of these rear warriors was too small, and the acid they sprayed could not form the acid mist that obscured the battlefield. The already impatient pavement ant barbarian army bravely crossed the acid-stained ground and soon killed some black-headed acid ant warriors who could not escape in time.
At this time, the main force of the black-headed ant tribe had already left, but black-headed ants continued to emerge from the underground entrances and exits of the base camp.
The pavement ant barbarian army simply gave up the pursuit and began to go deep underground to encircle and suppress the black-headed sour ant warriors trapped here.
The underground battlefield is another story. Because of the narrow terrain, the black-headed acid ants only need a few warriors to spray acid to block the offensive of the pavement ant barbarian army. Due to poor underground ventilation conditions, the acid mist of black-headed sour ants can persist for a long time, which brings great difficulties to the encirclement and suppression of the pavement ant barbarian army.
But correspondingly, since the only entrance and exit has been controlled by the pavement ant barbarian army, the black-headed ants underground have no way to escape. Their acid is limited after all. When the acid is exhausted, these black-headed ants will It is no longer possible to escape the fate of death.
——I am the dividing line——
While a fierce battle was going on at the base camp of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army, a battle was also taking place by the stream.
As the follow-up troops returned to regain the base camp, the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army that had crossed the stream was forced to retreat to prevent the backup from being stranded.
After leaving behind a group of rear troops who were destined to die, the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army that had crossed the stream began to return from the floating bridge again.
After the main force had basically crossed the river, the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom had also eliminated the rearguard of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army and reached the bank of the stream.
The King of Public Security has learned from the Flying Knight that the enemy's rear route is under attack, and he will naturally not let this opportunity go.
The entire combat-effective troops of the Northern Expedition Army were mobilized to pursue the fleeing Pao Dao Ant Barbarian Army.
When the Northern Expeditionary Army came to the bank of the stream, although most of the paving ant barbarian army had already crossed the river, there were still some troops on the pontoon crossing the bridge.
The vanguard of the Northern Expeditionary Army immediately followed them to the pontoon bridge, where a big battle broke out.
The big-headed ant warriors of the Northern Expedition attacked the pavement ants that formed the pontoon first.
The pavement ant's pontoon is mainly composed of leaves, branches, grass stems, etc., but the connections between these building materials are live ants. These pavement ant workers act like nails and ropes, using their jaws and jointed limbs to firmly connect scattered building materials to form a strong pontoon bridge.
With the crazy attack of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom Army, these pontoon bridges were rapidly disintegrating. The soldiers on both sides of the pontoon bridge were fighting while falling into the water, being washed away by the current, and struggling on the water.
Finally, the pursuit came to an end as the pontoon bridge broke in the middle.
Due to the breakage of the pontoon, a large number of pavement ants and big-headed ants fell into the water. Although the water flow was slow, they were still washed downstream little by little.
The flowing stream separated the two sides. The armies on both sides rescued their own soldiers on the banks of the stream and killed the enemies struggling to crawl to the bank.
As for the pontoon bridge built by the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army, a large amount of construction materials were washed away during the battle. Next time they want to build a new floating bridge, they will have to spend more time searching for new building materials.
Generally speaking, the Northern Expedition of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom achieved a moderate victory today, annihilating many Pavement Ant barbarian troops and destroying the pontoon bridge. Even if the pavement ant barbarian army recovers from the sneak attack of the black-headed stinky ants, it will take a day or two before they can attack "Target D" again.
But the bad luck of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army is not over yet.
Shortly after the pontoon bridge broke, the pavement ant barbarian army near the bank of the stream had disbanded and was trying its best to rescue its fallen companions. An army suddenly came along the stream.
The Pavement Ant Barbarian Army, which lost the cover of their formation, fell into an unfavorable situation in the early stages of the battle.
