The old-fashioned king's behavior of recruiting young men is not only rare in the human world, but also uncommon in the ant world.
This will greatly affect the production in the territory of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom. Even now, after the large forces have gathered, the food stocks of each sub-hive within the scope of the old-fashioned king's influence are being consumed rapidly. Just relying on the food in "Hunting Ground City" in the past few days The harvest from large-scale hunting cannot make up for the deficit.
This is also the reason why the old-fashioned king is eager to launch a war
In the opinion of the rigid king, the fall of the main nest is the most intolerable. Even if it costs seventeen sub-nests to be reduced to ashes, he is willing to bear it as long as the tradition and glory of the King's Conference can be restored.
Under the control of this fanatical emotion, an offensive and defensive battle around "Linshui City" began.
——I am the dividing line——
The old-fashioned King's army began to move out. Each phalanx, led by a few commanders, rushed forward with a slightly chaotic but determined pace.
On the south bank of the river, on the other side of Linshui City, there is only a lush mudland in the large tidal flats by the river. This was originally the farmland of Linshui City. Crabgrass, foxtail grass, tigertail grass and ryegrass were planted after the beginning of spring. It has grown very strong, and it is like a forest to the ants.
The old-fashioned king's main formation is located here, and he does not realize that the "forest" around him is unnatural. The bearded king of "Linshui City" also wished that he would not notice this farmland. As long as the enemy does not wreak havoc, "Linshui City" can resume farmland production as soon as possible after the war.
After the five legions of the old-fashioned King's Army had approached the wooden bridge, as the flying knights passed back the news, Rambo Fei gave an order, and his legions immediately climbed up the wooden bridge made of natural fallen trees.
The wooden bridge is roughly in the shape of a cylinder, so the Angel King's army is arranged in a defensive circle around the wooden bridge.
The protagonist had seen this formation in the first year of the Reconquest War. At that time, the pavement ant barbarian army that was guarding the big banyan tree in "Linshui City" put up this formation.
For the defensive side with a weak military strength, this formation with the shortest front is the most suitable.
Since the diameter of the wooden bridge is much shorter than that of the big banyan tree, only four squads can be placed in the first defensive position. The Divine Envoy King's legion set up a very thick line behind the front line to withstand the attack.
It turns out that this thick and flexible formation is very necessary.
Lan Bofei, the commander of the Divine Envoy King's legion, was originally specialized in administrative work and was not good at military affairs. The second legion he brought to "Linshui City" this time was originally commanded by Lambov.
Rambo fell ill while stationed in the main nest "Qingqiu City". It happened that the protagonist wanted to send Rambo to "Linshui City" to exchange prisoners of war, so he was asked to temporarily command the Second Army.
Because it was his first time to lead an army in battle, Lamborghini arranged the formation meticulously.
Rambo Fei, like other commanders, deduced from the number of enemies that the enemy army was in a makeshift state and was short of commanders, and he despised it.
But as soon as they entered the battle, those optimistic grassroots commanders found that the old-fashioned king's army on the opposite side was not only fanatical and aggressive, but also refused to retreat.
According to past combat experience, after a battle between the armies of both sides, if a team suffers more than 20 to 30% battle damage, it will be retired.
This is because this battle loss ratio has seriously affected the team's continued combat effectiveness. At this time, retreating can bring the wounded back in time, and after rest, they can be put into the next battle.
If they fight to the death and do not retreat, then this team will be basically disabled after the war. The injured soldiers will not be treated in time, and they are likely to become disabled. Even the most valuable commander may be killed. This is very unfortunate. Cost-effective.
Therefore, both the big-headed ants and the pavement ants are accustomed to having the frontline teams retreat after a fierce battle and replace them with fresh troops.
This way, there will be a brief truce when both sides rotate.
The Legion of the God Envoy King has stronger combat power and will usually wait until the opponent has rotated three or four waves before rotating.
Whenever the enemy's troops begin to rotate, the Divine Envoy King's Legion will take advantage of the situation to launch an attack, bite the enemy's tail, and cause huge damage to the enemy while the enemy's rotating troops and withdrawn troops are crowded together, making it inconvenient to command.
Even if the enemy commander makes a decisive decision and leaves behind his troops, he will still suffer losses. Many enemy troops who face this tactic for the first time will even be stunned and completely confused, and will be divided and surrounded by the Divine Envoy King's army.
The reason why the Divine Envoy King's legion can repeatedly cause heavy damage to the enemy is not only because it is composed of soldier ants and has strong individual combat effectiveness. It is also because the number of rotations is less, which is conducive to seizing fighter opportunities.
However, in today's battle, the Divine Envoy King's army suddenly discovered that the enemy troops on the opposite side did not rotate at all.
Waves of enemy troops came up like a tidal wave. Just as the commanders of the Divine Envoy King's Army had expected, these enemy troops were all improvised. The quality of the soldiers was uneven. In addition, there were insufficient grassroots commanders, making it difficult to adapt to changes.
These enemy soldiers were quickly killed in large numbers in front of the first line of defense of the Angel King Legion. Their corpses covered the bridge deck, and they fell to the river in the crowd, attracting a group of aquatic insects to guard under the bridge and devour the corpses. .
The battle line of the Divine Envoy King's army seemed unbreakable at first. Although the old-fashioned King's army was brave, it seemed that they could not shake this line of defense at all.
But as time went by, the four teams on the front line of the God's Envoy Army discovered that the enemy did not rotate at all, and we could not take advantage of the opponent's rotation to counterattack or rotate, and could only be firmly pinned to the front by the enemy without moving. .
The reason why the enemy's troops did not change was because they were attacking at random. On the one hand, rotation requires good command from the grassroots commanders to ensure that the soldiers in the fierce battle can cover and retreat one by one, leaving the position to the friendly forces in the rear who also have perfect command to take over.
The King's Army lacks a commander, and without the commander's orders, these extremely fanatical warriors who have been incited by the King and other male ants have no idea of retreating.
In addition, the old-fashioned King's army on the front line died too quickly. Many soldiers only lived for a few seconds from entering the front line to dying, and there was no time for them to make a choice.
The four teams on the front line have used razor tactics to kill hundreds of enemies, controlling their losses to single digits and making huge gains.
But their killing efficiency is decreasing, and even the strongest warriors will get tired. Their six limbs are shaking due to fatigue, and their jaws are no longer able to condescendingly cut off the enemy's head.
Rambo Fei had already learned about the situation from the flying knights who were watching the battle. He hurriedly ordered the rotation of frontline troops, but it caused a chaos...
