It’s finally on the shelves!
The little Destroyer who had just climbed up the city wall quickly got into the hole in the protective net, then climbed onto the city wall platform and began to attack the defenders.
But the defenders on the city wall were also ready.
Each section of the city wall has a corresponding small section responsible for defense. Only a small number of defenders are responsible for pushing the falling rocks, and more defenders are arrayed on the platform of the city wall.
These garrison teams are composed of ten warriors into a team. There are five teams in a team, three of which are responsible for formation defense, one is responsible for pushing rockfall, and one is used as a reserve team and commander's escort.
The Destroyer who had just climbed up was immediately attacked head-on by the defenders. The defenders would entangle the lonely little Destroyer on the outcrop and push it down the wall while its footing was unstable, or use assisting teammates to push it down. Bite his neck off.
In this kind of wrestling, the little destroyers generally fall at a disadvantage.
Although the Little Destroyer is slightly stronger than the Big-headed Soldier Ant, it does not have an overwhelming advantage.
Moreover, it is difficult for these little destroyers climbing on the city wall to exert force. After all, their six limbs rely on friction to stand on the nearly vertical wall. In actual combat, 10% of their strength cannot be used for 40 to 50%, which is far less effective than keeping their feet on the ground. The God's Warrior King was comfortable exerting his strength, but was suppressed in strength.
Moreover, the defensive Divine Angel King warriors do not rely on their positional advantages to fight for consumption. Their cooperation is more lethal. Some are responsible for frontal entanglement, and some are responsible for taking the opportunity to attack the enemy's weaknesses.
The little Destroyer was unable to break through the city wall defense line for a while. Instead, the scarred corpses fell one after another, leaving behind a pile of ant corpses.
The battlefield was changing rapidly, and the situation in favor of the defenders gradually changed.
As more and more small Destroyers scaled the walls, they began to put pressure on the defenders along the entire front.
Some little Destroyers began to climb up the ropes of the protective net, and then jumped from a higher place on the city wall. Such a three-dimensional attack method made the defenders suddenly panic, feeling that they were surrounded by enemies everywhere, and the pressure increased sharply.
The defenders, who were under pressure on defense, had to give up the tactic of continuing to roll the stone. Except for the reserve team, they threw all the teams into fighting on the defensive line.
Without the threat of falling rocks, the Little Destroyers can climb quickly and without worries. The rate of troop input and replenishment has increased, which in turn has intensified the pressure on the front. This creates a vicious cycle.
The little Destroyers that keep coming up don't care about casualties at all. The entire outer wall of the [Bridgehead] is densely packed with their figures, rubbing against each other.
The little Destroyers, who came one after another, used a fearless fighting style, leaving corpses all over the ground, and finally established a firm foothold on a section of the city wall. The team of the Divine Envoy King's Legion defending this section organized a reserve team to counterattack, but it was unsuccessful.
As soon as the Little Destroyer gained a firm foothold, countless companions swarmed in through this gap, and then divided into three groups. Two groups tried to attack both sides of the city wall, and one group began to attack directly towards the center.
The 15th Army had no reserves available, and all their forces were engaged in the front-line battle.
At this time, the role of the 16th Legion in the rear was revealed. The protagonist had already sent out messengers, and then the 16th Legion immediately sent out ten squads to block the Little Destroyer's offensive.
At this time, the 15th Legion also stabilized its position and established a new line of defense, preventing the Little Destroyer from succeeding. The Little Destroyer, who was blocked on three sides, was still restricted to a small area on the city wall.
As the 16th Legion advanced, the reinforcements of fresh troops allowed the Divine Envoy King's Legion to push the enemy back bit by bit, and finally regained this section of the city wall.
However, there were too many Little Destroyers and the attacks were extremely violent, making it difficult for the defenders to cope. New dangers kept appearing and new areas were breached.
Fortunately, the 16th Legion, as the general reserve, did not allow the little Destroyers to realize their tactical intentions.
Finally, the fierce fighting ended as the sun set, and the Little Destroyers retreated in embarrassment with corpses all over the ground. From beginning to end, they failed to break through the city wall and reach the interior of the ant mound.
The defenders of the Angel King's Legion cleaned the battlefield for the second time. The protagonist directly asked the two legions that had been fighting for a long time to go back to rest and let the Pavement Ant Legion come over to clean the battlefield and repair the damage.
According to post-war statistics, today's results were that more than 500 large destroyers and more than 4,000 small destroyers were killed. The 13th Army suffered more than 700 battle losses, the 15th Army suffered more than 400 casualties, and the 16th Army suffered more than 100 casualties.
Although the results of today's battle were good, it could be said that it was a rare defeat for the Destroyers, who were arrogant and domineering and had attacked countless cities and fortresses in recent times. But the defenders also exposed many hidden dangers.
The first is the battle damage to the defenders. With more than 1,200 casualties in a single day, almost half of the legion was wiped out. Moreover, there are more dead than injured, and the injured are basically the kind of battle-damaged people who cannot recover from their injuries and return to the team. This is also a rare major loss for the Divine Envoy King's Army in recent times.
For the three newly formed legions, the 13th, 15th, and 16th, this was really painful, especially the 13th legion, which suffered nearly one-third of its battle damage.
Except for the 1st Legion, which is not suitable for positional defense battles, and the Pavement Ant Legion, which has very weak combat effectiveness, the protagonist relies most on these three legions in the [Bridgehead] defense battle. If the consumption continues like this, the [Bridgehead] will be destroyed sooner or later.
In response, the protagonist plans to let the 16th Army be responsible for the first line of defense the next day, the 15th Army will support and serve as a reserve team, and the 13th Army will be sent back to [Linshui City] overnight to replenish troops and train.
At the same time, Lamboser's 5th Legion, which was originally stationed in [Linshui City], moved to [Bridgehead], and Lamboser's 6th Legion, which had completed its training, was also transferred back. The protagonist has two veteran legions to support him, and he is confident. Quite a lot.
[Bridgehead] The bigger hidden danger in defensive battles is not insufficient troops or excessive losses. With the vast territory on the south bank of the river as a basis, the protagonist can easily form hundreds of legions. Although it is now more difficult to mobilize and transport long distances due to the weather, But just [Linshui City] is enough to support it for a long time.
What worries the protagonist even more is that the enemy's flexibility in battle is far stronger than that of ordinary ants. The protagonist even feels like he has met an opponent he has never encountered before in this world.
Failing a frontal attack, these great destroyers will attack in a roundabout way. The big destroyers cannot break through the protective net, and they will retreat and replace them with more suitable smaller destroyers.
Who knows what new tricks these destroyers will play tomorrow. This uncertainty makes the protagonist a little helpless and a little scared.
This is the most difficult enemy to deal with, an enemy with many tricks. In just one day, the protagonist has a very profound understanding.
