As a military enthusiast, the protagonist once had infinite sympathy for the Song Dynasty that perished at the hands of the Mongols. He once thought that if he could choose to travel through the ages, the Song Dynasty would be a good choice.
As for now...
Not only ancient wars, but also reached the peak of the war model of national power competition during World War II. The outcome of one or two battles does not matter, and the defeat of one or two battles can be tolerated. Therefore, the Soviet Union was able to hold on when it was on the verge of collapse in the early stage, and Germany finally lost a little bit in the face of the continuous national strength advantage of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Empty the house.
The opponent the protagonist faces this time currently controls the same territory and ant colony as himself. Once the competition becomes exhausting, he will easily fall into an embarrassing situation.
The Army of the Divine Envoy King has always followed the route of elite troops, but the supplies needed for the elite route are actually no less than those of troops who win by quantity.
Moreover, what elite troops fear most is unnecessary attrition. During World War II, the more elite German troops were so embarrassed when faced with almost endless Soviet manpower. When the original elite troops were exhausted and the new troops were thrown into the battlefield before they could get enough training, they faced an opponent's army that was increasingly adapting to the rhythm of war. The outcome was predictable.
After much thought, the protagonist still feels that he should avoid entering the quagmire of a war of attrition. The opponents he needs to pay attention to are not just the ant queen inheritance faction, and he cannot completely drain the family wealth that he has finally saved.
——I am the dividing line——
At the end of April, it is the end of the brilliant spring. The climate in the basins on both sides of the river is relatively warm. All kinds of early spring flowers have faded away. Only some late blooming and late blooming flowers are still brilliant.
As for both sides of the river, this year, the dominant creatures here - various types of ants, are fighting fiercely in the spring.
Not to mention the last remnant of the King's Conference of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom on the north bank of the river - the Northern Expeditionary Army has begun to attack the branch nests of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Kingdom in the southern region, and finally attracted some reinforcements from the enemy. The two armies of equal strength were killed in darkness. It seems difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.
Even on the south bank of the river, the two major factions in the Big-headed Ant Kingdom: the God Envoy King Legion and the Queen Ant Heritage Faction finally broke up.
Just after Rambowan's troops surrounded the earliest army formed by the Queen Ant Heritage Faction, attracting more enemy troops to try to break the siege, the two sides fought again and again near the secondary nest named "Trench City" by the protagonist.
The reason why this sub-nest, which is still controlled by the queen ant inheritance faction army, is named "Trench City" is because this sub-nest is crisscrossed by ant tunnels expanded by a large number of queen ant inheritance faction troops inside, making it difficult to conquer. God Envoy The king's army gave up on underground street fighting and adopted siege tactics instead.
The Divine Envoy Army has built a large number of bases and sub-bases on the ground for siege, forming a fortification group that can attack and defend. It can not only surround the "trench city", but also defend against enemy reinforcements. The situation between the two sides is quite similar to the trench warfare of World War I.
Lambowan's troops have attracted the attention of more than 50,000 enemy reinforcements. More enemy reinforcements are still gathering, and various materials are also continuously flowing into the enemy's reinforcement base.
Although Rambowan's troops were only one-third of the enemy's, they firmly controlled the outside of "Trench City" and laid siege slowly. While consuming supplies in the city, they also attracted enemy reinforcements and bumped into the fortifications every day. His head was bleeding.
Within the well-excavated fortifications, the Divine Envoy Army used their defensive advantages to bleed the enemy's reinforcements bit by bit in the underground lair that was most suitable for "razor tactics".
In order to cooperate with Rambo Wan's army and relieve its pressure, the protagonist also formed a group of independent teams to hunt sickle ants. Under the guidance of the flying knight, they bypassed the enemy army and attacked near the enemy's assembly point to harass the enemy's transport team. , the results were fruitful, and the capture was even enough to supply the consumption of Rambo Wan's army.
However, although Rambovan's troops are currently fighting well, the protagonist does not intend to fight in "Trench City". The territory and ant colonies controlled by the enemy are considerable, even if the reinforcements being assembled eventually exceed 100,000. , the God's Envoy King's army also had to pay a greater price to annihilate them.
Even if the decisive battle is won, the enemy only needs one or two strong secondary nests to hold back the Divine Envoy King's army, which has been weakened by the decisive battle, and can rely on the new generation of ants to slow down and regroup within a month or two.
In the case where there is no way to quickly capture most of the enemy's secondary nests after the decisive battle - the elite army policy of the God's Envoy Army makes it difficult to separate too many troops with the ability to attack difficulties - a rash decisive battle is not a good option. , it is possible to fall into the quagmire of the German army in the early days of World War II where it repeatedly won but failed to win the final victory.
The protagonist's final plan is to "go straight to Huanglong".
The core of ant society lies in the leadership. Whether it is the male ants of the King's Conference or the queen and male ants of the queen inheritance faction, they are the head and heart of the entire faction.
After breaking up with the old king's meeting, the protagonist took advantage of the fact that the enemy's main force was unable to return to the north bank of the river and had no time to assemble all the troops in the sub-hive. He suddenly launched a surprise attack and took a straight line. After conquering five weakly defended buildings, Arrive at the main nest "Qingqiu City", fight to decide the outcome, and sweep the opponent into the garbage heap of history.
Now, the protagonist naturally thinks of repeating his old tricks.
The current unfavorable situation is that the Queen Ant Heritage Faction has begun mobilizing the entire territory, and the main force still exists. It is different from the previous situation faced by the King's Conference Faction, which was short of major generals and had no time to mobilize.
But the good news is that the main force of the enemy army has been attracted by Rambowan's five legions. The protagonist still has seven legions in his hand, of which five mobile legions can be called upon immediately, including the rolling beetle legion and other absolute main forces.
At this time, there are not a large number of troops in the "real sub-nest", the ruling center of the Queen Ant inheritance faction.
The long-distance reconnaissance of the Flying Knights also confirmed this. Every day, a three-digit number of troops rushed to the front line of "Trench City" from the "real main nest". It seems that the enemy did not take the defense of the nest to heart. .
After all, the ants are used to fighting dull main battles, and they don't realize that the protagonist is already planning to carry out a beheading operation.
According to the information brought back by the flying knight and the accounts of some of the surrendered male ants who are already familiar with the situation in the old territory of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, the route chosen by the protagonist from his own territory to the "real main nest" starts from "Sitong City" and passes through With six secondary nests, you can directly reach the "real main nest".
On April 30, more than a week after the battle began on the frontal battlefield, a large army was assembled in "Sitong City".
