After receiving Gun's report, Lan Bofei judged that since Gun's army had arrived at the nearby auxiliary nest and the journey was only half a day, they would be able to appear on the battlefield of "Linshui City" the next day.
By then, the Divine Envoy King's Army will have the advantage of attacking the enemy from both sides. With the combat effectiveness of the Divine Envoy King's Army, it will not be a problem to defeat the enemy.
But the number of the God Envoy King's legions was a disadvantage after all. Including Gun's troops, there are only four legions of the God's Envoy King. Among them, the sixth legion is not enough (some squads were dismantled and became garrisons in various places), with a total of 10,000 soldiers. The number of enemies is four times that.
If you attack more with less, it will naturally be difficult to form an encirclement network. Even if you win, the results may not be huge.
The terrain of the battlefield is not conducive to the annihilation battle of the God's Envoy Army: the "Linshui City" troops must pass through a narrow wooden bridge to pursue from the northwest, while the rolling troops came from the ant road in the southwest. Whether the enemy troops are escaping on their own initiative or fleeing after being defeated, they can take advantage of the lack of troops in the Divine Envoy King's army and flee eastward calmly.
Rambo Fei has a higher political IQ and a better overall vision. He knows that the protagonist really wants to completely annihilate the old-fashioned king's army. But how can we fight a war of annihilation instead of a defeat? How can we eliminate as many of the main forces of the Old-Fashioned King's army on this battlefield as possible and reduce the difficulty of attacking the seventeen sub-nests controlled by the Old-Fashioned King in the future? Lamborghini must make a decision without the protagonist present.
After thinking over and over again, Rambo Fei made up his mind.
He sent two flying knights to rush to Gun's auxiliary nest before the sun had completely set. He informed him that his side would cross the bridge and form an array early tomorrow morning to pin down the enemy. He asked Gun to lead his troops around. Launch an assault from the enemy's eastern rear and be sure to eliminate the enemy's main force in one fell swoop.
This plan is very risky. The rolling army needs to take a detour, so Rambo Fei and the second army will have to stand alone for a half-day siege by more than ten times the number of enemy troops.
But once successful, the benefits will be huge. The enemy's retreat will be cut off, and most of the soldiers will be unable to escape back to their starting base. This will clear the way for future battles.
Lan Bofei also believed in the combat effectiveness of the Divine Envoy King's Army. It was not easy to break through the formation of the Divine Envoy King's Army that formed a defensive formation and implemented "razor tactics" on flat terrain. The only thing that limited them was their physical strength, but after half a day or so, I believe they could grit their teeth and persevere.
That night, the Flying Knights did not return to report. Of course, this was expected. It was getting late. I believe the two Flying Knights spent the night there and would not return until tomorrow.
Because of the double insurance provided by the two flying knights, Lamborghini didn't have to worry about his message not being delivered.
But Lamborghini's plan was too "perfect" to withstand the test of unexpected factors.
In fact, the message from the Flying Knights had not been delivered to Gun, but Gun had already made up his mind to return to the army to resolve his worries. He asked the Flying Knights to bring a message the next morning, informing Rambo that his side would not be able to arrive on the battlefield on time, and asked the Second Army to act accordingly. .
Early the next morning, the flying knights waited anxiously for the sky to fully light up, so that they could ride on their fly mounts and deliver important military information to "Linshui City" as soon as possible.
From the secondary nest where they set out, it only takes about ten minutes to fly to "Linshui City", which is enough!
But the delay caused by the distance of more than ten minutes was fatal.
Rambo Fei didn't expect that Gun wouldn't be able to come, and he didn't agree with his plan. He had made preparations for battle last night, making sure the army had enough to eat and drink. All the resting teams had stopped training and returned, and the army was resting near the entrance to the lair.
It was just dawn today, and he couldn't wait for the flying knights to return. He led the army out of the nest, quickly completed the assembly, then climbed across the wooden bridge and formed an array at this end of the wooden bridge.
The wooden bridge is a fallen tree. The original roots of the tree were on the rocky island. It is probably because the soil there is too shallow. This tree, whose species is no longer identifiable, cannot extend its roots infinitely and firmly like the big banyan tree. Caught himself, and finally collapsed in a strong wind. Its crown fell on the south bank of the river. The leaves and small branches have rotted away without a trace. Only the trunk is still intact. It is inserted diagonally into the soil and is buried bit by bit by the sand, forming a slope.
Rambo Fei led the army and formed a formation around the gentle slope of the wooden bridge.
There is no terrain advantage here. The Second Legion of the God-Emissary King must build a circular position with flesh and blood to resist the enemy's siege. But the terrain here is flat, so there is no need to worry about enemies fighting on their own from various heights. This has advantages and disadvantages.
The enemy appeared earlier than expected, and the "Hunting Ground City" was much closer to the scheduled battlefield than the secondary nest where Gun was.
The old-fashioned king was also very anxious. In the early morning, when the sky was just turning white and the ants could barely see, he urged the vanguard troops to set off.
In the past few days, the old-fashioned king has not been idle either. His messengers are running around the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, contacting one sub-nest after another.
Through these messengers, the old-fashioned king and the new king conference behind him received the loyalty of many deputy nests and received many promised support.
But he also learned that the evil God Envoy King had sent troops to "Linshui City". The king of the second deputy nest who fought to the death had been in contact with the old-fashioned king before. As soon as he was attacked, he sent a messenger to report to the old-fashioned king before the God Envoy King's army had completed the blockade.
The messenger knew that King Stiff-laced would go to "Linshui City", so he rushed here, and happened to encounter King St-Fruit's army besieging "Linshui City".
When the old-fashioned king received the report, the last sub-nest from the main nest "Qingqiu City" to "Linshui City" had been captured. But the old-fashioned king did not know this. He felt that it would take two or three days for the minions of the evil Angel King to conquer the last sub-nest and reach here, because the king of that sub-nest had stated that he would resolutely resist the attack by the minions of the Divine Envoy King.
The old-fashioned king knew that he had to defeat the enemy in front of him as soon as possible, but he had no good way to quickly break through the natural dangers of the wooden bridge.
His plan today is to lead the army to set off in advance and order the forward troops to attack the wooden bridge directly without waiting for the army. He hoped that the defenders had not yet completed their assembly at that time, so that his forward troops could control the wooden bridge, allowing the army to continuously move over and attack "Linshui City" head-on.
When the old-fashioned king led the main force to the battlefield, he was rewarded by the forward troops.
The reward was a mixture of joy and sorrow. The worry was that the forward troops were not able to control the wooden bridge as planned, and the enemy troops were dispatched very early today. Fortunately, the enemy actually gave up the defense line in the middle of the wooden bridge and set up a battle formation at the head of the bridge.
