The protagonist did not show any anxiety because of being surrounded, not only to appease the morale of his subordinate commanders, but also because he still had a trump card.
The ants around them have already felt from the changes in soil temperature and humidity that the late spring cold has passed, the temperature is rising, and spring is returning to the normal track of spring.
This is a good thing. The rising temperature means that the soldiers of the God's Envoy King can go outdoors and the day of counterattack is not far away.
The next day, the protagonist sent a small team to suddenly reach the ground before the enemy launched an attack. Although the team suffered heavy losses and only the male ant commander and a few soldiers were able to return safely, the protagonist also gained control of the ground. Partial information.
The size of the Destroyer troops on the ground is not small. According to the rough estimate of the Suicide Squad, there are hundreds of enemies just surrounding the entrance and exit. They are closely surrounding the entrance and exit of [Trench City]. It cannot be seen clearly from a distance, but the shadows The buildings seemed to be full of enemies.
At the same time, the Expendables also proved that the temperature even in the early morning today is already above zero. It is estimated that the temperature during the day can rise to about ten degrees. Although the temperature felt by the ants is different from the temperature system the protagonist knows, the protagonist is also based on The feedback is roughly calculated and it turns out that the temperature during the day is already suitable for big-headed ants to go outside!
I am the dividing line
As the kamikaze retreated in defeat, the Destroyer offensive soon followed, with the defenders resisting with the help of pre-set positions and ballistae.
The attack routine and progress of the Destroyers today are similar to yesterday. It seems that the smart commanders of the Destroyers have not come up with a better way. Their wisdom has its ceiling and has not reached the level of the protagonist.
With the completion of the second line of defense, the third line of defense is also being built. The defenders have a more flexible defense system. They do not need to defend certain areas desperately, they can respond more calmly, and their battle losses are also greatly reduced.
After about noon, the Destroyers paid a double-digit price and barely managed to attack the second line of defense. This was the result even if the defenders did not use the blocking stone again and the protagonist did not finish the battle in person. The casualties of the defenders were similar to those of the attackers. Such a greatly reduced exchange ratio made the protagonist finally satisfied.
In the afternoon, the offensive and defensive situation suddenly changed, and the destroyers who were attacking suddenly retreated. It was still very early in the evening.
After receiving the military intelligence, the protagonist knew that the opportunity to counterattack he had been waiting for had finally arrived, and immediately ordered the entire army to prepare for a counterattack!
I am the dividing line
On the ground, the reinforcements led by Gun quickly defeated the obstruction of hundreds of Destroyers and advanced to a place less than half an hour away from [Trench City]. The army climbed up a gentle slope and overlooked [Trench City] and the enemy from a high position.
Not far below him, thousands of Destroyers were gathering.
Gun was originally stationed in [Linshui City]. After receiving the protagonist's order after the beginning of spring, he immediately led four legions to break camp and come to support.
The four legions are the 1st legion directly under Gun, the 7th legion of Mantis tiger, the 8th legion of Xixi and the 14th legion of Kite.
The support army had arrived at the main nest [Qingqiu City] the day before yesterday, but then encountered cold weather in late spring and had to stay in [Qingqiu City] for two days.
The weather improved today. The flying knights who had been grounded in [Qingqiu City] for two days immediately went out to conduct reconnaissance. After confirming that [Trench City] was still surrounded by enemies and proving that the place had not been captured, Gun was relieved on one hand and on the other hand The party immediately organized a large army to set off.
Kite led the scythe-hunting ant army in front and built a wide-ranging scout network, followed by Gun led three legions.
The Destroyers do not have a scouting force. In theory, the scouting network formed by the Hunter Ants can effectively block enemy detection.
But when the army took half a day to arrive about an hour away from [Trench City], the Destroyer still learned about the arrival of the supporting army through unknown means.
Subsequently, the flying knights in the sky took the lead in warning, and then the sickle-hunting ants also sent back the warning.
The number of Destroyers who came to stop the attack was only a little over a hundred. The hunter ant scouts fought and retreated, flexibly avoiding the enemy's attacks and encirclement, and gradually leading the enemy to the front of the army.
If it weren't for Gun's military orders, Kite felt that even if he paid a certain price, his legion would be able to wipe out this small group of enemies.
But Gun even wanted to test the power of his legion's new weapon "tank" with this small group of enemies.
The protagonist started implementing the plan to transform the 1st Army's Rhinoceros into tanks last winter.
Although the rolling army was stranded in [Qingqiu City] for two days due to weather reasons, it was a blessing in disguise. During these two days, the 1st Army received the newly hatched and tamed beetles in [Qingqiu City] after the beginning of spring. Now there are seven There are only three large beetles, including three stag beetles and four bifurcated rhinoceros beetles.
Two of the four bifurcated rhinoceros beetles have been transformed into tanks, and the other two can only remain in their original state temporarily because [Dongyang City] has not yet shipped enough accessories.
The ballista unit on the Double-pronged Rhinoceros has been trained in [Dongyang City] and has directly joined the First Army Corps, but has not yet conducted joint training or participated in actual combat.
Therefore, facing a small number of Destroyer troops that were bound to win, Gun deliberately let the troops practice their skills.
When the Destroyer troops were resisting in front of the formation, the rolling 1st Legion was already ready, flanked by two other legion guards. Behind the Destroyer, the kite-hunting scythe ants had blocked the enemy's retreat and completely surrounded the enemy. .
The Destroyers didn't care whether they were surrounded or not. They gathered a little and rushed towards the rolling army in groups like wasps emerging from their holes.
When the enemy entered the shooting range, the ballistas on the two "tanks" fired a round and achieved certain results. However, the rain of bullets was too sparse, and the results were better than nothing.
Subsequently, the 1st Legion counterattacked and wiped out the enemy in front of them with overwhelming force. After fighting the Destroyer last year, the 1st Legion already had rich experience in fighting the Destroyer and knew how to use the power of the large beetle. Strength to crush the enemy without falling into the kind of attrition melee before.
The large beetles trampled the Destroyer's team to pieces without slowing down, and the medium-sized beetle troops stepped forward to attack the remaining enemies who were grouped together.
The final cleanup work was completed by the accompanying infantry and other legion friendly troops. The beetles rushed out of the enemy's position without slowing down. In battle, these beetles become living targets once they slow down. This is the experience gained by the God Envoy King Legion in the blood and fire.
The previous battle was just an appetizer. Standing on the hillside, Gun estimated that there were about 1,500 Destroyers opposite him. This was the main force of the enemy!
