The Destroyers had not yet assembled, and the formation was very messy. Gun observed it and felt that this was a good opportunity. He even wanted to charge directly with his men.
But reason allowed Gun to suppress his unrealistic thoughts. His years of experience as a senior commander, as well as his growth, made Gun no longer the reckless young male ant.
Not to mention that the Destroyer team has not been assembled, the other two legions under Gun's own command are not in place either. It is not that they are prepared to attack the unprepared, nor do they have much numerical advantage.
If the enemy is pavement ants or big-headed ants, Gun is still confident that he can defeat the enemy with just the strength of the 1st Legion.
But the enemy is a destroyer, and Gun knows that using a legion to attack recklessly, even if the enemy has not yet fully assembled, and even if our army has the advantage of being at a commanding height, is still a moth flying into the flames.
The Angel King's army did not dare to launch an attack in a hurry, and the Destroyers quickly assembled under the control of the commander. The two sides faced each other across a gentle slope.
On the side of the Divine Envoy King's legion, Mantis Tiger's 7th legion and Shuxi's 8th legion finally arrived, and began to form formations on the left and right wings of the first legion.
The 14th Army deployed troops farther away on the enemy's flank, and even went far behind the enemy, trying to contact the [Trench City]. They also expanded the scope of reconnaissance, put pressure on the enemy from the side, and took on many tasks.
The formation of the rolling 1st Army Corps has also been slightly adjusted. Because the protagonist had previously requested that "tanks" were not allowed to perform melee combat missions, he sent two "tanks" to the far ends of the formation, leaving only three stag armor and two unequipped crossbows in the center. The Rhinoceros beetle serves as the main assault force.
To be honest, Gun didn't understand the King of Gods' preference for "tanks". He felt that such an arrangement was just a waste of the assault power of two large double-pronged rhino turtles, and their long-range attack power was not satisfactory.
The Destroyers have also roughly assembled. This is the first time that the God Envoy King's army has encountered such a large number of Destroyers in the wild, and it is also the first time to observe the Destroyers' formation.
There are about five hundred Destroyers in groups, and each group roughly has an irregular prototype.
What Gun didn't know was that there happened to be three commanders in the Destroyer army opposite, and the Destroyer's formation was laid out with these three commanders as the core.
I am the dividing line
The north wind that lasted for two days made the entire sky extremely clear, and the golden sunshine perfectly enveloped the green earth in early spring. However, the wind and sunshine could not dispel the clouds of war on this small hillside.
The first ones to gather, or rather just gather, were the Destroyers along the way. They launched the first attack and advanced up the hillside.
The two groups of Destroyers on both sides were harassed by the scythe-hunting ant warriors of the 14th Legion of the Divine Envoy King on both sides. They were restrained and did not attack the hillside immediately.
The army of the Divine Envoy King on the hillside has also been roughly assembled.
Gun knew that his beetle army was most lethal only when it attacked, and when it stopped, it was like a huge target.
So, Gun imitated the great King of Gods and issued the order "King of Gods, legions, advance!" to the messengers.
More than 20 messengers ran quickly to deliver military order information to the squad commanders on the left, right and rear, while sending out scent messages along the way to prepare ordinary soldiers.
Gun personally sat on a giant stag beetle, and with three stag beetles in the middle, two two-pronged rhino beetles and accompanying infantry, a total of five teams took the lead in launching a counterattack.
With the center as the spearhead, the medium-sized beetles on the left and right also followed up one after another. The entire 1st Army formed a forward formation and rushed down the hillside with indomitable momentum.
The 7th Army and the 8th Army followed closely behind, and their formation was a smooth straight line.
The 1st Legion and the Destroyer mid-range troops, which were charging towards each other, soon collided like two speeding trains. The scene was a scene of tragedy and chaos.
Even as powerful as the Destroyer, he couldn't resist the giant beetle that attacked from above.
The ant group composed of dark destroyers that were crowded together was suddenly knocked out of several empty passages in the middle, just like the furrows created by iron plows across the fields. These were caused by several large beetles penetrating the enemy's formation. Effect.
Followed closely are the medium-sized beetles, which advance along the channels left by the large beetles, further exacerbating the chaos of the Destroyers, or attacking the Destroyers who are still clumping together, hoping to completely break up the enemy.
Previously, the 1st Army had used the same tactics to defeat the blocking forces.
But this time there were more enemies. Even though the large beetles had already attacked for a round, there were still dozens of destroyers in some groups. Such groups were not something that medium-sized beetles could stir up.
Unfortunately, the direction of the attack of a medium-sized scarab was a large group of Destroyers. Its impact momentum was quickly exhausted in the dense team of Destroyers. The Destroyers immediately swarmed up and drowned the stopped Scarab. , and the warriors of the Divine Envoy King on its back.
Although the accompanying infantrymen tried hard to relieve the siege, they could not save the scarab and its comrades.
Another dung beetle was about to break into a large group of enemies. The male ant above saw the opportunity quickly and hurriedly ordered the driver to stop the mount.
The two drivers used the reins to pull the dung beetle's tentacles hard, causing the dung beetle's mount to stop in pain.
But when it braked suddenly while moving at high speed, and the terrain was a hillside, the dung beetle happened to be on a relatively steep section of the road. It immediately couldn't stop its inertia and rolled over, sending the ants on its back flying everywhere. Yes, he ran into the enemy group and was quickly bitten to death.
Most of the medium-sized beetles that followed the assault successfully penetrated the enemy formation, while a small number fell into it due to various reasons.
But the Destroyer's team had not yet been defeated. The accompanying infantry of the 1st Army, and some soldiers of the 7th and 8th Army, struggled with the enemy, but failed to take the opportunity to sweep away the enemy like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. beat.
The two "tanks" of the 1st Army were supported by ballistae behind the formation and did not join the assault queue.
Gun immediately took the beetle troops that had passed through the formation and turned around to attack again. Because the two sides were already fighting together at this time, in order to avoid accidentally injuring their comrades, the Beetle troops could only reduce some speed and focus on attacking the places with the most enemies.
This time, the beetle troops fought more with weapons such as the large jaws of the stag beetle and the horns of the bifurcated rhinoceros beetle, rather than their assault speed.
After all, the Angel King's army had a numerical advantage, and they also had the help of sturdy beetles. The Destroyer's middle troops soon fell into chaos.
But at this time, the Destroyer troops on both wings finally stopped paying attention to the entanglement of the Sickle Ants and began to move closer to the center.
