The parasitic army built the second half of the pontoon bridge so quickly, using a method that even Zhu Jue couldn't help but admire.
I saw a large number of parasitic field turtles, dragon lice and other parasitic water insects suddenly emerging from the upper reaches and rushing towards the pontoon area in dense numbers.
At first, the civilized ant coalition thought that the opponent was going to repeat the same old plan. They used parasitic waterworms to carry some elite parasitic warriors to land on the south bank. They established an auxiliary landing site to disperse the defenders' forces and cover and coordinate the main attack direction of the pontoon bridge. ——This is the tactic used by the parasitic army during the last war.
However, frontline commanders soon noticed that these parasitic water bugs did not carry landing troops on their backs.
Instead, these parasitic water bugs arrived at the area where the pontoon bridge was built in great force, began to adjust their positions, connected head to tail with each other, and quickly formed the prototype of a crossing bridge.
A large number of parasitic ants immediately boarded the carapace of water bugs from the shore, or threw building materials into the gaps to fill the gaps, or used themselves as connectors to help the water bugs connect together. Some even served as bridges to firmly connect themselves It is fixed on the back of the water bug and allows other companions to step on it, making the originally smooth bridge deck easier to pass.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the last section of the pontoon, which Zhu Jue had expected to take more than half an hour to take shape, had extended to the south bank, began to take shape, and was still being widened.
Such a pontoon bridge quick construction tactic can only be implemented in places where the water flow at the mouth of the Black Creek River is gentle. In the waters where the central fortress group of the previous battle is located, the parasitic water bugs must overcome the stronger flow momentum, and it is difficult to maintain the stability of the pontoon bridge for a long time. , will soon disintegrate.
But here, the water flow has been dispersed and the impact is not strong. The first two sections of the stream are passed by ordinary pontoons. As long as the parasitic waterworm controls its body in the most critical final section of the stream, it is enough to play a key role.
Although these parasitic water bugs gave up the flexibility of landing in various places, they gave the main force a stronger ability to pass through, which greatly increased the pressure on the defenders.
Almost as soon as the pontoon bridge landed, the first batch of parasitic war beasts and ants that had already swarmed onto the bridge waded through the water and rushed to the south bank, viciously attacking the defense line of the civilized ant alliance.
Directly opposite the bridgehead, there is a low hill with a height of only one decimeter. The first line of defense composed of 12 Divine Angel King Legions is deployed on the top and extension line of the low hill. Behind it are the reserve troops of the Divine Angel King Legion. Behind them are supporting artillery. On the left and right flanks were the troops of the Black Fire Ant Nation and the Dissimilar Blind Leaf Ant Nation.
The field artillery is firing artillery shells at the fastest speed, together with the firepower provided by the fortress group to provide support. The dense rain of bullets continues to explode on the pontoons and landing points, with water columns and smoke and dust rising one after another. The wind is not strong today, and the smoke and dust are quickly Half of the pontoon was covered.
Floating bridges were constantly damaged by artillery shells and quickly repaired by parasites. The floating bridges remained standing. Dozens of parasitic creatures washed up on the south bank every second. As the floating bridges continued to widen under the gunfire, this number continued to increase. is rising.
In the smoke and dust, each hideous parasite revealed its ugly face!
The first batch of parasitic beasts quickly rushed to the defenders. After being hit by a round of fire bombs and slings at close range, dozens of parasitic beasts turned on their backs.
But before the second round of fire bombs landed, some of the leading parasite beasts had already stepped on the corpses or struggling bodies of their companions. In front of the defense line of the civilized ant coalition, they turned around or stretched out their abdomens one by one, and then sprayed out puffs of colorful smoke.
These parasitic beasts chosen as the vanguard are mostly poisonous insects such as scorpions, spiders, and cryptids, and they all have the ability to spray venom mist at medium to short range.
On the defense line of the civilized ant coalition that was shrouded in toxic smoke, the ant warriors at the forefront immediately struggled in pain. The venom was violently corroding their compound eyes and tentacles, seeping into the body through the joints and pores, causing great harm. Pain.
Some ant warriors were rolling hard, trying to wipe off the venom on the ground, while others wanted to retreat, and the line began to loosen.
The biggest threat is some parasitic beetles. They shoot from a long distance. The liquid they shoot is not only poisonous, but also has a temperature as high as 100 degrees. The ant warriors who are hit are killed almost instantly, and a large gap immediately appears in the originally tight defense line.
When the venom dissipated a little, the parasitic ant warriors who followed up swarmed up, trying to rush in through the opened gap.
On the side of the civilized ant alliance, the commander coldly did not allow the troops to take a step back, and held on to the defense line amid the poisonous mist. At the same time, the platoon troops immediately rushed forward. The two sides fought desperately on the battlefield where the poisonous gas still existed, fighting each other. consumption.
On the side of the parasitic ants, the first ones to enter the battlefield were some big-headed ant warriors wearing rotten armor. They were good at fighting in formations and were a great threat.
Zhu Jue got the information later and immediately recognized them as the former warriors of the Envoy King, and fell into deep thought for a while!
In addition, the first wave of parasitic ant assault troops also concentrated on some of the most powerful ant tribes, including the huge Japanese ant, corn ants and burrowing ants with excellent combat capabilities. They all fought while spraying formic acid at close range, regardless of the death or injury of themselves and their companions, using a life-threatening technique.
The large number of parasitic poisonous insects in the back are controlled by a special parasitic brain. They are a specially formed "big poisonous army", which does not distinguish between friend and foe, not counting the spray of venom.
Under such an indiscriminate attack, although the parasitic ants suffered greater losses, the soldiers of the civilized ant coalition also suffered heavy losses. In less than half a minute, a group of soldiers were almost dead and wounded. The commander had no choice but to throw in the next group of soldiers, and one legion after another was crippled.
More and more parasites were wading from the pontoon bridge, crowding the narrow area from the defender's position to the stream. They were so dense that they suffered heavy losses under artillery fire.
Under the desperate blocking of the civilized ant coalition, the "Poisonous Legion" and the auxiliary parasitic ants did not break through the frontal defense line as quickly as the parasitic brain expected. The other parasitic armies could only extend their fronts to the two wings, and more and more defenders Positions began to take over and the battle turned into a war of attrition.
The battle in the air was equally fierce. Faced with the interception of the flying knights, a large number of parasitic flying insects did not care about their own safety. Instead, they chose to dive and use stingers, stinging tubes and other organs to attack the civilized ant coalition on the ground in an attempt to assist the parasitic troops on the ground. Achieve a breakthrough.
The battle on the ground has become intense since it just broke out. Especially the position facing the pontoon bridge. After half an hour, the front-line troops had suffered heavy losses and were unable to fight anymore, and the reserve army began to push forward.
At this time, Zhu Jue responded!
