On June 3, the leaf-cutter ant army attacked simultaneously from all nests in all directions. The Angel King's army also fulfilled its promise to support, and the Pavement Ant King immediately divided its troops to fight.
A battle involving more than one million troops from all three parties broke out. Because this battle was taking place in multiple locations at the same time, it was named the "June 3rd Battle" based on that day's date!
Before this battle, the main force of the leaf-cutter ant army had not been assembled. Instead, it was scattered in dozens of nests. Some nests had tens of thousands of troops, while others only had thousands of troops stationed there.
This is determined by the previous defense deployment of the leaf-cutting ant army, because the central area is undefeable and is located in a flat and wide plain area. The defense line is set up very long and is divided into scattered defense nodes.
The leaf-cutting ant army is scattered in these nodes. Some nodes have a large number of troops and serve as support and support. Some nodes have relatively few troops and are just auxiliary defense points.
The Pavement Ant Emperor and the Fire Ant Army came from afar. After defeating the Leaf-cutting Ant Army's first counterattack, they immediately surrounded one of the nests and are intensifying the siege. At the same time, after the Paidao Ant Emperor scouts surveyed the nearby terrain, they also began to divide their forces to attack multiple nearby nests and occupied two of them.
Before the battle began, the leafcutter ant army was relatively dispersed, while the pavement ant emperor was relatively concentrated. Therefore, the primary goal of the leafcutter ant army in each nest is to concentrate on the central area.
Thousands of "mosquitoes" have arrived on the battlefield and have basically controlled the air superiority. The flying knights of the God's Envoy King's army can only take advantage of the opportunity to complete the reconnaissance mission, and the few star beetles of the leaf-cutting ant army dare not take off at all.
The Pandao Ant Emperor, who had air supremacy, was able to grasp the dynamics on the battlefield, but they made mistakes in their judgment.
Because of the backward communication methods, the dispersed leaf-cutter ant army only agreed to send out troops at the same time on June 3, assemble in the middle, and then pounce on the enemy's main force for a decisive battle.
But on this day, the departure times of the various nest troops were different. A large nest in the north was ready to send out troops not long after dawn, about six o'clock and less than seven o'clock, which led to the response from other surrounding nests. , and soon assembled an army of more than 100,000 and headed south-east.
After receiving the information from "Mosquito" and the scouts, the Pavement Ant Emperor thought it was the main force of the leaf-cutter ant army, and immediately mobilized 300,000 troops to go north, leaving the other half of the army to continue besieging the previous target nest.
The nests in the central and southern part of the leaf-cutting ant army were not aware that the troops from the north had set off so early. This line of defense was one kilometer long, and ground communications would be slower. The leaf-cutting ant army in the central and southern part of the army did not start until about eight o'clock. Troops were sent out one after another to assemble. Among them, the leaf-cutting ant army in the southern part of the country sent troops earlier than the central part.
At about 8:30 a.m., the leaf-cutter ant army and the pavement ant emperor had already started fighting in many places, and the battlefield situation was extremely complicated.
To the north, more than 100,000 leaf-cutter ant troops have encountered 300,000 pavement ant emperors. The two sides are fighting. The leaf-cutter ant army is at a disadvantage and is forced to push into a nearby forest. The pavement ant emperors pursue it. The leaf-cutting ant army is in the woods. They deployed three-dimensional defenses in a space to give full play to their advantages in tree combat, making it impossible for the Pavement Ant Emperor to defeat them for a while.
In the middle, more than 200,000 leaf-cutter ant troops and more than 100,000 pavement ant emperors are confronting each other. The leaf-cutter ant army has just left the nest and set up a formation. The pavement ant emperor has previously sent troops to the north and south. At this time, Due to insufficient strength, they decisively withdrew from the siege. The two armies formed an array on an unknown flat ground and were about to engage in a decisive battle.
In the south, more than 200,000 leaf-cutter ant armies and more than 100,000 pavement ant emperors have begun fighting. The pavement ant emperors occupy a continuous stretch of land to prevent the leaf-cutting ant army from approaching the central battlefield.
In addition to the three main battlefields, there are more than a dozen disposal battlefields in the entire war zone. Basically, the leaf-cutting ant army from some small nests set off and encountered the Paving Ant Emperor before they could join the larger army.
On the Pavement Ant Emperor's side, the numerous vassal ant tribes dispersed to plunder the spoils. Many did not participate in the general battles in the north, middle, and south, but ran into scattered small units of the leaf-cutting ant army, and launched numerous A small-scale battle with no low intensity.
The entire war zone is in chaos!
————
Because today's large-scale attack by the leaf-cutting ant army has attracted high-frequency patrols and sorties by the "mosquito" troops of the Paving Ant Emperor, the flying knights of the God's Angel King's army were forced to give up their reconnaissance to the north, and could only ensure partial reconnaissance and transmission in the south. letter.
The Angel King's Legion was already ready to attack. After the Flying Knight reported that troops had been dispatched from the nearby southern lair, the Angel King's Legion also filed out of the fortress.
First, the flying knights collectively flew out from the air force's dedicated channel. They circled over the army and protected the local airspace.
Then came the tank troops. The huge stag armors were shining with silver, and their armor looked extremely powerful.
The stag armor is the mount of the assault force. In order to strengthen the defense, the whole body is covered with special iron armor. This kind of armor is made of large and small iron pieces glued to an ant silk cloth substrate, and the substrate is fixed to the back of the stag armor with ant silk ropes. There is also a huge platform saddle on the back of the stag armor, which not only serves to fix the armor, but also can accommodate up to a dozen soldiers to command and fight on it.
As a fire support "tank", the Double-pronged Rhinoceros does not wear a strong but cumbersome armor, but carries a larger platform with a millet cannon installed on it and a dedicated gun crew to operate it.
The soldiers of the God's Envoy King also rushed to the ground from multiple entrances and exits. The sun was very good today. When it shined down, the armor on each of the God's Envoy King's warriors was like lenses.
These armors are well maintained. It has been raining a while ago, and the armor pieces are not rusty at all. The ant warriors cherish the armor as much as they cherish their own carapace, often licking and cleaning it to keep the armor shiny.
Today, because we had to march a mile to reach the battlefield, and the air was not very safe, the protagonist did not fly on "Little Black" or walk, but sat on the back of a two-pronged rhinoceros beetle. The cannon of this bifurcated rhinoceros beetle had malfunctioned before and was difficult to repair, so the cannon had to be removed, and it happened to become the protagonist's command mount.
The Royal Guards are guarding the protagonist's mount. The protagonist bids farewell to the commander of the 5th Legion who stayed at the fortress, and sets off with the army.
After walking for about half an hour, the scout reported that there was a small-scale battle ahead. A small group of leaf-cutter ants were being chased and broken up. The enemy was not pavement ants or fire ants, but a group of thick and fat looking ants that they had never seen before!
The protagonist orders the 16th Legion closest to that direction to go up and meet the friendly forces.
