The Destroyers were confused by the feces for a while, but soon adjusted under the instructions of the Destroyer Commander. They began to climb the trench, trying to directly attack the city wall behind the protective net.
The trenches and the city walls were separated by protective nets. These protective nets were tied to wooden wedges or fixed on stones with ant glue. They covered the entire ant mound hills of [Qingqiu City]. Cover it.
This protective net was built in just a few days, which was indeed a miracle, but it did not protect [Qingqiu City] for long.
The holes in the protective net were too small for the Destroyers to get through, so they began to bite the protective net. The ballista took the opportunity to continue shooting. The Destroyers crowded in front of the protective net were excellent targets.
Behind the protective net, the defenders on the city wall continued to attack with slings or fire bombs. They were not worried about igniting the protective net. Anyway, these protective nets were being destroyed at an extremely fast speed.
When the number of Destroyers is so large, the tough mesh ropes woven from a mixture of hemp fiber, ant silk, and other plant fibers cannot last long under the jaws.
The critical point was quickly reached, and the protective net collapsed rapidly. Many net ropes were chewed bit by bit, and more were broken from the wooden wedges when the Destroyers kept shaking the net ropes.
The wooden wedges tied to these protective nets were fixed in the ground by ants' concrete pouring. The wooden wedges were very strong, but the ants' binding method was too crude, causing many net ropes to slip off.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the protective net had lost its original function. There were gaps everywhere, and large groups of Destroyers began to pour in from the gaps.
There were five legions on the city wall forming a line of defense, and they soon started fighting with the Destroyers. The main function of this line of defense is to temporarily contain the enemy on the city wall and buy time for the defenders behind.
But this thin line of defense will not be able to withstand the evil tide of the Destroyer for too long. Now that there are many ants and many enemies are on the side of the Destroyer, the city wall cannot provide much protection, and the Destroyer are like heavily armored giants. They had the advantage in melee combat, and a large number of the God's Envoy King warriors died quickly in the melee.
The ballistae at the rear continued to fire a few rapid fire rounds, and then stopped the attack at the command of the protagonist. The ballista team quickly dismantled the ballista, then carried the accessories and withdrew underground from the nearby entrance and exit, turning to the second line of defense.
The protagonist knew that the ground defense line could no longer be defended. This happened much faster than he expected. Before, he was optimistic that he could hold on to the ground for a day or two! Unexpectedly, within half a day, he was forced to retreat underground.
The Destroyers have broken through the city wall. Although there are still some areas on the city wall where defenders are still resisting, the enemies have begun to attack from several entrances and exits at the bottom of the ant hill. More enemies are climbing the ant hill.
There are also some scattered teams of big-headed ants or sickle-hunting ants on the anthill hills. They rely on the terrain to resist, or flexibly harass the enemy to buy time for the evacuation of the ballista units.
But the Destroyers climbed very quickly, and the protagonist saw them quickly approaching the top of the mountain, gradually approaching the entrance and exit of the sacred passage where the protagonist was.
The protagonist sighed and glanced at the sky. He would not be able to see the sky for many days!
Time did not allow him to be pretentious, so the protagonist turned around, lifted a boulder that was as big as a ping-pong ball and even the Destroyer could not shake it, crawled in and out of the entrance, and blocked the passage with the boulder.
The protagonist returns to the deep underground of [Qingqiu City] along the long passage, and his body is submerged in darkness.
——I am the dividing line——
In just half a day, the defensive battle of [Qingqiu City] went underground.
[Qingqiu City], as a large-scale main nest, originally had a large number of entrances and exits, sometimes as many as dozens.
Nowadays, most of the entrances and exits have been filled in, but nine necessary entrances and exits are still left, otherwise it will be difficult to take into account the transportation needs in all directions.
The Destroyers burrowed underground along these passages and encountered resistance from the defenders. The defending warriors of the Divine Envoy King relied entirely on sacrifice and flesh and blood to buy time.
Along the path of the Destroyer's advance, the remains of the God's Envoy King's warriors and their blood were scattered everywhere.
They are all cannon fodder who are not equipped with copper weapons, not even gravel jaw knives. Some of them were temporarily recruited to join the legion two days ago, and today they have sacrificed everything in the tragic battle.
The protagonist is determined to let these cannon fodder troops block in front to buy time, so that the retreating ballistae can rush back to the designated area to deploy defenses. And the elite troops he had on hand were still quietly dormant at the back, waiting for opportunities to counterattack or when they needed to be blocked before sending them in.
The eyes of the dead warriors of the Envoy King were full of blazing anger and strong fighting spirit. They held on to their defense line as if they were dead, just like the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty who tied themselves to their horses and refused to retreat when facing the Jurchen cavalry. They were brave and brave. Tragic.
Their sacrifice paid off. When the Destroyers finally broke through the obstruction and arrived at the preset battlefield nest, what awaited them was a ballista attack.
In the long and narrow nest room, two ballistas fired in turn, and soon the Destroyer who rushed in left a pile of corpses, and the corpses even blocked the road.
Previously at [Bridgehead], it was this underground defense line that blocked the Destroyer for many days. Now, the Destroyers cannot break through here just by relying on their flesh and blood.
The protagonist had previously noticed on the ground that the White-bellied Destroyer had not appeared among the enemies currently besieging [Qingqiu City]. The enemy cannot use self-destruction to destroy the defense structure of [Qingqiu City], so they can only use their lives to fill it.
The battle lasted into the night, and the sun had completely set, so the Destroyers reluctantly evacuated. The God's Envoy King warriors took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, killing some of the Destroyers by taking advantage of the enemy's huge body and difficulty in turning around in the passage.
In today's underground battle, the first ballista defense line behind the nine entrances and exits killed a large number of enemies. Only one ballista defense line was bullied by the enemy because the bowstring broke.
The warriors of the God's Envoy King immediately moved forward, holding on to the enemy, letting the ballista retreat to the second line of defense and repair it, and continued shooting, blocking the enemy's offensive.
——I am the dividing line——
At night, the protagonist stared indifferently at today's casualty figures.
In just one day, the defenders had lost tens of thousands of soldiers. Although most of them were cannon fodder, the casualties were also very heavy.
Most of the casualties were inflicted while the walls held off the Destroyers, and many more were taken while covering the ballista units in underground street fighting.
The ballista is currently the only weapon that can cause a lot of damage to the warriors of the Divine Envoy King, but it is also a fragile weapon that requires the lives of a large number of warriors to protect it!
