A good army should be able to execute orders and prohibitions. The commander should be able to control each unit like an arm and a finger. The entire army should be like one person, coordinated and coordinated without internal constraints and consumption.
But this is an idealized army, and it is almost difficult for any army to achieve this. The good and evil of human nature, disputes over interests, and smooth communication will all affect the relationship and cooperation between different troops.
Even for ants who are known for their collectivism, and even within the Legion of the God Envoy King where the protagonist has a high authority, the protagonist often feels that something is not smooth when commanding.
For example, the commander below cannot accurately understand what he means, the messenger fails to arrive in time, etc., etc., which will cause delays and errors on the fighter plane.
Therefore, there is a famous saying in military: The winning side is the side that makes fewer mistakes.
However, when the Destroyers gave up attacking the [Bridgehead] when it was already dark, they achieved unanimous orders and showed no regrets.
This raised the protagonist's evaluation to another level.
From the very beginning when I observed that the opponent's formation was messy, I had a bit of contempt, to when I discovered that the enemy was good at adapting, I paid more attention to it, and now. The protagonist develops a high opinion of the Destroyer's troops.
In addition to the formation, the Destroyer's army has all the qualities of an excellent army: strong individual combat effectiveness, excellent adaptability, and smooth and highly obedient command capabilities.
The protagonist also observed that there was no obvious commander in the opponent's military formation. Maybe this evolved to prevent beheading tactics!
He was not suspicious. After all, the appearance of some ant species was not very different from one species to another. The Destroyer Ant was not an isolated case.
In the evening, the protagonist took several legion commanders and ballista squad commanders to summarize the experience of today's short battle and revised the battle plan.
Everyone knows that tomorrow is the real battle.
——I am the dividing line——
Yesterday evening, when the vanguard of the Destroyer made a tentative attack on the [Bridgehead], the protagonist also observed that enemy troops were still coming from the rear in a steady stream.
After dark, the noise lessens in the direction of the enemy's campsite, and they need to rest for the night.
As soon as it got light the next day, troops began to arrive from the direction of the enemy, and finally they merged together.
If there are tens of thousands of people, there is no limit.
Although the number of Destroyers on the opposite side was not yet ten thousand, they looked like a swarm of chaos. Moreover, the shock it brings seems to be greater than that of other ant troops that are more numerous.
The enemies had already begun to assemble. Although the Destroyers had spent the night camping in the wild in the cold late autumn, and could only shelter under dead branches and leaves at most, they seemed unaffected and started to assemble in high spirits.
The defenders who were resting in the warm [Bridgehead] also began to prepare for war. The ballista squad was in place. Rambofer II led the 13th Army to the second line of defense. The flying knights took off first, and then the defenders temporarily closed it. Protect entrances and exits on the net.
The protagonist also came to the monitoring room on the top of the ant mound, which was built to place the captured antennae of the radar destroyer that could listen to the sound. Because of its highest location, it is also suitable as an observation deck.
As the sun rises completely from the horizon, over the distant hills and woods, it unreservedly shows its round figure to the earth, radiating light and heat.
The Destroyer troops seemed to receive the order at the same time in an instant and began to take action.
Yesterday, the swarm action of hundreds of Destroyers was quite shocking. Today, as soon as thousands of Destroyers moved, they had the momentum of a landslide.
According to the experience of ancient human wars, the visual shock of hundreds of cavalry charging together is equivalent to the impact of thousands of infantry. And on this battlefield, the Destroyer's stature compared to the Big-headed Ant Warrior is just like cavalry to infantry. Each Destroyer is like a cavalry. The charge of thousands of cavalry is as majestic as Mount Tai collapsing. before.
The protagonist noticed that on the second line of defense, some team commanders clearly took a small step back, obviously frightened by the enemy's momentum. These male ants obviously faced enemies yesterday, but they were still inevitably affected.
Fortunately, the Army of the God Envoy King is also an invincible army. Years of victories have naturally sharpened the commander's will. After calming down, each army still counterattacked according to the plan, and was not frightened by the enemy's momentum and became more serious. serious consequence.
The protagonist now understands why the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army and the Big-headed Ant Kingdom's Northern Expeditionary Army are unable to match the Destroyer Army in any field battle. Not to mention combat power, the Destroyer's aura is like a debuff, which can make the enemies in front collapse without a fight, or fall into negative states such as slowness and stiffness.
The Destroyers quickly rushed to the trench, and then quickly rushed towards the passages on both sides along the pheromones left by yesterday's leading troops.
The defenders' ballistae also began to fire. This time, the ballistae did not fire shotguns with insufficient lethality, but directly fired boulder bombs.
The stone bullets fell, hit, bounced, and hit again in the Destroyer's formation, instantly overturning several Destroyers.
Today's Destroyers are more numerous and the formations are more crowded. The ballistae can hit the target with just a single aim, and there is no need to worry about missing the target.
But in less than half a minute, the vanguard of the Destroyers had already surged onto the passage, and some of the Destroyers had already passed through the passage.
This speed is much faster than yesterday when their vanguard was groping and advancing. At this time, the ballista had just been re-wound.
The ballista team immediately loaded up the giant arrows and fired into the passage, instantly sweeping away the Destroyers crowded in the passage, temporarily cutting off the Destroyers who had passed through the passage from the rear.
But there are too many Destroyers, and they move extremely fast. The protagonist soon realizes that with the current firing speed of the ballista, it is impossible to block the passage.
Enemies continued to cross the trenches from the passage, and the Destroyers at the front had already begun to climb the ant mound and move towards the upper protective net.
[Bridgehead] The main entrance and exit near the bottom of the ant mound has been sealed. The protagonist personally sealed it with large rocks. Even the Destroyer cannot move it away.
The only entrance and exit that the Destroyers can use to break into the ant mound is within the protective net on the top of the ant mound.
Now that the first line of defense has been breached, the main battlefield is the second line of defense.
The 13th Legion began to push the mung bean-sized rolling stones down according to the plan. The rolling stones rolled down the outer wall of the ant mound that was inclined at 60 degrees, hitting many Destroyers who were climbing.
But the Destroyer's carapace is hard, and these rolling boulders can only hinder their climbing and cannot cause any harm.
Soon, the Destroyer came outside the protective net and showed its huge and ferocious jaws at close range!
