Just as Gun's army stepped up its attack on the portal of the "real main nest" guarded by the Queen Ant Heritage Faction Army commanded by the second senior brother, the flying knights were constantly reporting back to the northern battlefield.
On the third day of the fierce battle between Gun's army and Second Brother's garrison, the main enemy force in the north seemed to have finally received the message from the messenger, and after some hectic preparations, they broke camp and headed south.
The enemy troops set off faster than the protagonist had previously expected. The protagonist estimated that the enemy would need at least a day to prepare, such as mobilizing supplies, formulating plans, and organizing and coordinating.
But the enemy was not as expected. It seemed that as soon as they received the news, they transferred the troops originally sent to fight in the "Trench City" to the south.
Prior to this, Rambowan's troops had been gathering reinforcements around "Trench City", and the Queen Ant Heritage Faction Army also cooperated very well by sending troops every day to try to relieve the siege, and then were defeated in the field.
The order of Rambowan's troops was to hold back this enemy force, but they did not dare to inflict too much pain on the enemy. Due to the lack of food and organization, the enemy was unable to come out in full force, so they sent more than 5,000 soldiers to trek for half a day every day. , was defeated and fled back. The rest of the army was gathered in the auxiliary nest of the camp. They had to forage everywhere due to lack of food and were unable to move.
This is the consequence of the lack of qualified and experienced leadership among the ant queen inheritance faction. They quickly mobilized enough troops, but were unable to mobilize enough food, causing the army to lose a lot of combat power.
Rambo Wan, on the other hand, trained all the new recruits under his command in continuous battles.
The Queen Ant Heritage Faction Army sent the vanguard troops south to support the "real main nest". They were about three or four legions of troops who originally planned to attack "Trench City". They immediately broke camp and set off, expecting to reach their destination in three days.
The other armies also set off here the next day, leaving only a small number of defenders in the original camp.
After receiving the information from the flying knights, the protagonist immediately contacted the two main forces separately.
Go over there. Naturally, you want to capture the secondary nest in front of you as soon as possible. It is best to capture it within one day, and then use another day to occupy the "real main nest" that is no longer safe and lacks troops. Then there is still one day left. Time to stabilize the defense and face the main enemy force that has traveled a long distance.
As long as the "real main nest" is captured and the enemy's exhausted troops returning for reinforcements are defeated, the victory can be accomplished in one battle and the civil war can be completely ended.
As for Rambowan, since there are no enemies in front of them, their mission is to capture the "Trench City" immediately, and then pursue and attack the city along the enemy's return route. It is best to be able to fight the rolling army in a decisive battle. They gathered forward and concentrated their forces to fight.
Even if there is no time to join together, the protagonist still believes that Gun's five legions are completely sufficient to defeat this enemy in the field. The task of Rambowan's troops becomes to quickly sweep and take over the old territory of the Queen's inheritance faction army, and establish the God Envoy King. The ruling system of the Legion.
——I am the dividing line——
After receiving the news from the protagonist that enemy reinforcements had been dispatched, Gun decided to let the army launch a general attack the next day.
The tactics of digging new passages during the day were successful. Due to their exploratory nature, the Divine Envoy King's Army only dug eight passages and penetrated four.
Tonight, the enemy is likely to use "ant concrete" to completely block these newly excavated passages. However, the Angel King's Army can also dig more passages to make it difficult for the enemy to prevent them.
The next morning, it was a good spring and summer weather, warm and sunny.
The climate on both sides of the river has not yet entered the rainy season. The occasional rains between spring and summer are short and subtle. The ants do not even have to hide and continue to forage in the wild.
There are only occasional rainfalls that last for several hours, but the thirsty land will absorb all the water without leakage, and will not cause stagnant water or floods.
Since the launch of Gun's army, they have been very lucky not to encounter a single slight rainfall. The sun is also shining brightly today, and the temperature is even as high as the summer in July, which is perfect for fighting.
The entire army, except for the rolling beetle legion who were not suitable for underground combat and did not receive combat missions, other troops were digging new passages in different areas.
With the original entrance and exit of the enemy's lair as the center of the circle, the four legions were each assigned a quarter-circle area with an angle of 90 degrees, and new passages were dug within a radius of half a meter. Each legion had to dig ten new passages, making a total of forty passages.
According to yesterday's 50% penetration rate, the Divine Envoy King's army will have twenty attack channels by then, enough to destroy the enemy's underground defense capabilities in one fell swoop.
Fifteen minutes later, the first passage was opened, the first team of the God Envoy King rushed in, and the two armies began to fight.
By noon, 23 of the 40 passages had been connected, which was better than the expected penetration rate.
At the same time, some troops whose passage could not be penetrated also went down the old road from yesterday, and sure enough they found that the end of the road had been blocked by "ant concrete".
However, as more and more pathways were opened, a large number of Divine Envoy King warriors appeared from unexpected directions to the defenders of the Queen Ant Heritage Faction, which greatly affected the enemy's defense deployment.
Although the ant queen's inheritance faction army received the death order from the male ants, fought hard and had a determined fighting will, but in the absence of reasonable command and dispatch, they could only fight alone.
The Angel King's army soon completely occupied the upper part of the ant nest and occupied part of the granary. In the central area of the ant nest, the two sides were fighting fiercely. Generally speaking, the Army of the God Envoy King had the advantage.
But soon, the commanders of the God's Envoy Army learned a piece of information. The enemy's main force was holding on to the main passage, and the enemy seemed to be blocking the passage behind those comrades who were fighting hard.
Judging from the location provided in the intelligence, the enemy has completely given up on the troops still fighting hard in the middle and upper part of the ant nest, and plans to directly isolate the lower part of the ant nest with "ant concrete" to form a new line of defense.
It must be said that the enemy's countermeasures are very targeted. The second senior brother has long known that his mission is to delay time, and reinforcements will definitely arrive day and night.
Since he is no longer able to stop the unconventional offensive tactics of the Divine Envoy King's army, he might as well defend to the end. Anyway, the plane section of the ant nest becomes smaller toward the bottom, and the main channel becomes narrower, which is very conducive to defense.
Even if the Divine Envoy King's army continues to dig new passages, it will still take time. The second brother can also repeat the old trick and use some troops to defend, while other troops build walls behind to block the road. It will definitely be more difficult to destroy the "ant concrete" than to build it.
Because he was left on the ground and communication was inconvenient, Rambotu, the most senior commander in the underground force, had to decide on his own how to deal with this new situation.
