Countless white tracks streaked across the sky chaotically, like strips of clouds filling the sky! Black dots that seemed slow but fast penetrated the sky in dense numbers, like crowded migrating locusts! A sharp and noisy whistling sound filled the tentacles, a cry from death.
The rocket launcher, the weapon at the bottom of the box that Zhu Jue waited until now, is a new weapon that the Divine Envoy Army only started to install last winter.
The barrels of these rocket launchers themselves have little technical content and are simpler than those of cast artillery. The barrel walls are thinner and there is no need to close the tail.
But its ammunition is a new invention and has the ability to explode on contact. The rocket body is cylindrical, filled with carbon powder adsorbed with fluorescent bacteria extract and grease, and mixed iron fragments. The top is tapered and sealed, and the bottom has a hole and lead sealed with ant glue.
When launching, 20 fuses of a gun are ignited at the same time. After the projectile is ignited, flames are ejected from the bottom hole, driving the rocket to be launched.
Because there is no tail fin, the flight stability and accuracy of the rocket are worrying. But once the projectile collides with obstacles such as the ground and water, the huge pressure causes the high-temperature charcoal mixture to explode, causing the exploded projectile and the contained iron fragments to fly everywhere.
Such a rocket has the triple killing means of air waves, flames and shrapnel, and it also has a strong deterrent effect!
Unfortunately, this kind of collision-detonated explosive requires both temperature and mass to reach a certain critical point before detonating. Rockets can meet these two requirements, but ordinary artillery shells cannot. It has not been extended to ordinary artillery.
The accuracy of these launched rockets was not very good. From the surface of the Black Creek to the north and south shores, there were explosions of fire and gunpowder smoke, continuous and very scattered.
Originally, this initial type of field-mounted rocket launcher had a large range. In order to make up for the lack of range and ensure that it could cover the reef crossing, it was placed high in the fortress anthill, further increasing the range.
In the indiscriminate firing of 400 rockets, even the Divine Envoy King's army, which was fighting in formation more than two meters away south of Black Creek, was severely affected. A rocket with a serious deflection exploded at close range, directly destroying 3 people on the edge. A team…
This is also the reason why Zhu Jue is reluctant to use this weapon unless absolutely necessary. It is really not suitable for precise shooting in melee.
Of course, the ones who were more killed or killed were the parasites crowded in dense formations on both sides of the Black River. Tens of thousands of parasites were turned into powder in the continuous explosions that lasted for more than ten minutes!
The huge noises, vibrations and fire also caused the parasitic organisms to collapse like the sky was falling. Even the parasitic brain behind the scenes could not stop these affected parasitic organisms from running around like ants.
Such a scene was seen the year before last when the Angel King Legion used pre-planted explosives to ambush the Pavement Ant Imperial Army. That successful ambush caused the expeditionary force of the Pavement Ant Empire Army, which had a numerical advantage, to collapse in one fell swoop. A decisive battle in which less and more were defeated was completed.
But this time, they were unable to replicate the feat last time, and even the civilized ant coalition was greatly frightened.
The infantry legion of the Divine Envoy Army is okay. Most of them have experienced artillery support and accidental damage, and they have become immune to the most shocking explosions! However, many beetles in the tank troops and field artillery troops were frightened and ran frantically towards the insect stables of the fortress. The drivers pulled their tentacles desperately to no avail.
The coalition of other civilized ant tribes were just like parasitic creatures. They were running like ants, and they were even more chaotic than before.
(After the war, the memory ants of several civilized ant tribes obtained file information, the general content of which was "In the early summer of a certain year, the big-headed ant tribe of the Thunder God's inheritance summoned the continuous power of the God of Thunder on the battlefield!")
From this point of view, the rocket launcher has indeed played its due role in saving the situation, turning a precarious situation that is very beneficial to the parasitic organisms into a draw in which the enemy and we are in chaos and both sides are in danger!
It's a pity that this rocket launcher is a three-minute true ant. After the rocket is fired once, it has to wait for the smoke in the fort to clear before reloading. It will not be launched for an hour or two, and there is no way to quickly add another wave.
The direction of the war will ultimately be determined by the battle of the frontline troops!
At this time, Zhu Jue had unified his thoughts with the commanders of other ethnic groups in the coalition meeting room, and asked them to help calm the chaotic armies of all ethnic groups and join the counterattack as soon as possible.
At this time, the battle situation suddenly changed. Three of the six pontoon bridges built by the parasitic ants were destroyed in the explosion of rockets. These pontoon bridges, which were simply fixed by floating objects, did not need to be hit directly. The water waves generated by the close-range explosion were enough to destroy them. .
If it weren't for the poor accuracy of the rockets, these six pontoon bridges would have been as if they had never existed, with only some of their remains being washed away by the current, instead of having three barely usable bridges.
At this time, the parasitic army only had these three pontoon bridges left for passage. Two rockets hit the reef ferry, and half of the simple bridges were completely destroyed. It is impossible to build them today.
However, in addition to the soldiers of the God's Envoy King's Legion starting to engage in local counterattacks, they also had to capture the scattered parasites to prevent them from hiding, resulting in a serious shortage of troops. There is no hope for the other civilized ant armies until they complete their reorganization.
The parasitic brains are also frantically using their influence to reorganize their teams. The parasitic troops on the north bank of the Black Creek that are farther away and less damaged are already showing signs of reorganization.
Now both sides of the battle need time. Whichever side is the first to put more troops back into the battlefield will gain the advantage until it wins the final victory.
————
While the civilized ant coalition forces are in chaos and waiting for reorganization, the eastern and western fortress groups are falling into a stalemate "civil war"!
The ants that launched the "rebellion" were all ant warriors who had been infected in previous battles, mainly ants from all races except the Ant Alliance and the Black Fire Ant.
Zhu Jue had strictly required all races to use flame therapy to identify and treat potentially infected ants after the war. This practice was strictly implemented in the central fortress group where the warriors of the Divine Envoy King accounted for the majority.
However, in the eastern and western fortress groups, Zhu Jue did not have enough control. Many civilized ant tribe commanders felt that their tribe was not a Vulcan heritage, and they resisted this approach from the bottom of their hearts. Moreover, they did not report to the joint meeting. Zhu Jue was busy with affairs and did not respond in time. Be aware of this hidden danger.
This allowed many infected people to lie dormant, and the situation gradually got out of control.
The three major fortress groups are not far from the north bank of Black Creek, and are still within the sensing range of the parasitic brains. The parasitic brains took advantage of this advantage and waited patiently until today, when most of the potential infected people have been completely parasitized. A general attack, while summoning the lurking parasitic ants to "uprising"!
In addition to the field battlefields, the situation in the eastern and western fortress groups is the most critical!
