Zhu Jue's eyes were serious as he wandered around the battlefield last night.
After receiving an urgent report from the Eastern Expeditionary Army early in the morning, Zhu Jue hurriedly flew here to check.
On the ground, dismantled pipes of pipes were piled up and down. Following the rough path, one could see that one end of the flue was connected to the entrance and exit of the camp, and the other end extended somewhere.
Zhu Jue followed the pipe and found the combustion chamber, which was a temporary nest underground. There were still piles of ashes and unburned fuel inside, and there was still faint heat. The nearby vegetation was full of traces of smoke. It looks crude and doesn't seal well.
Zhu Jue is very familiar with such a combustion chamber and flue.
Smoke attack tactics, this tactic was used by Zhu Jue in his hometown to deal with parasitic ants in the southern hills, and the effect was acceptable.
Unexpectedly, he had turned into a parasitic creature and treated him the same way as a human being. Zhu Jue felt a little ridiculous in his heart.
The parasite itself obviously does not understand this set of tactics. In the previous battle with the parasite, it had never encountered a smoke attack, and no trace of the parasite's use of fire was even found.
A figure appeared in Zhu Jue's mind...the figure of "Parasite Roll"...
is it you! roll!
————
Affected by last night's smoke attack, the Eastern Expeditionary Army did not continue to send troops until three o'clock in the morning. Before that, they had been surveying the scene, treating the wounded, burying the dead and comforting the soldiers.
In last night's night attack, the Eastern Expeditionary Army suffered thousands of casualties. The number of dead was not high, and most of them were fainted and needed to recuperate. However, many other soldiers were frightened - the fear of fireworks is a biological instinct, and the smoke attack last night almost caused some camps to explode.
The armies of the civilized ant alliance spent a lot of effort to appease these frightened ants and finally continued to move forward.
Zhu Jue personally took charge of the Eastern Expeditionary Army to prevent the parasites from doing anything else. At the same time, the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Western Expeditionary Army also received intelligence and made preparations in advance to prevent the old plan from being repeated.
Until noon that day, the Eastern Expeditionary Army still encountered no resistance. The parasite that launched the night attack last night disappeared without a trace again, and even the flying knights could not find a trace of it.
After the sun passed its highest point, the scouts of the Eastern Expedition Army finally discovered something.
Not far ahead in the forward direction, there is a low canyon between two hills. The altitude of these two hills is only three to five meters, or mounds are more appropriate, with dense shrubs above them. And wild grasses, some vegetation grows more than two meters high.
Because of the dense vegetation, the flying knights flew over many times and failed to detect any abnormalities. However, when the scouts on the ground approached, they finally discovered traces of the parasites hidden in it, and were attacked and hurriedly evacuated.
The other party seems to be planning to launch an ambush here. The canyon between the two hills is the closest route for the Eastern Expedition Army. If you step in unprepared and get flanked from both sides, it will be really dangerous.
Fortunately, the enemy bacteria have been discovered in advance, and there are many countermeasures that the Eastern Expeditionary Army can take. This route is not the only route. A slight detour can avoid the ambush site.
Zhu Jue did not choose this cowardly approach. He was attacked at night last night and suffered a heavy loss. The generals of the Divine Envoy King's army were furious and have not yet calmed down.
After finally discovering traces of the parasite, the Eastern Expeditionary Army immediately prepared for battle and prepared to regain their place.
The accompanying field artillery troops began to unload the iron cannons from the loaded beetles and set up artillery positions at appropriate locations.
The assault troops were organized and prepared for battle, and other troops also took their positions and entered the position.
As Zhu Jue's order was issued, dozens of field artillery opened fire, firing rapidly at two small mounds not far away.
The grass on the hill was tall and dense, and the grass blades crackled as the shells flew across the hill. There were leaves and juice splashing everywhere, just like a lawnmower working on the hill.
However, due to the cover of vegetation, Zhu Jue could not see clearly whether the enemy's defense line on the hill was damaged. The flight path of the flying knight in the air was normal and no early warning signal was issued.
After several rounds of shooting, the commando team composed of tanks and accompanying infantry launched an attack on the two hills at the same time.
Dozens of large and medium-sized beetles led the way, followed by thousands of ant infantry. This was the first wave of attacking troops.
The second wave of attacking troops behind them was spaced about one meter apart and was also composed of tanks and infantry, with a larger number.
The third batch of troops is pure infantry troops and is being assembled.
On both wings, warriors from the Black Fire Ant Nation and the Thin-footed Ant Nation were spreading the outer security net.
Zhu Jue stood on the top of a tall weed, watching the assault troops disappear among the dense shrubs and weeds.
The grass and trees were swaying, and it was unclear whether it was caused by the wind or due to a large number of biological activities.
There was a slight sound in the distance drifting into Zhu Jue's tentacles with the wind, and it was difficult to tell whether it was the din of fighting or the background noise of nature.
The first wave of troops completely disappeared into the dense grass, and the second wave of supporting troops had also followed. Zhu Jue patiently waited for the assault troops to report their results.
The enemy troops can hide on the hill without being discovered by the flying knights, so the number should not be too large. Previous intelligence also showed that the main force of the parasitic army had moved north, and there would not be many left there. Therefore, Zhu Jue was not worried that the attacking troops would encounter very strong resistance.
Soon, a messenger returned from the front and ran all the way to Zhu Jue's camp to report the news.
After receiving the information packet, Zhu Jue stretched out his tentacles and immediately ordered the formation to move forward and launched the third batch of attacking troops.
The resistance of the parasites was stronger than he thought, and the assault force was blocked, which Zhu Jue did not expect.
In the information package, the assault troops rushed up the hill. The resistance along the way was not strong. There were only a few parasites and ants hiding in the grass, and they were quickly killed.
However, as they rushed to the top of the mountain, a "fortress" suddenly appeared in front of them under the bushes!
This is an anthill fortress, but it has a peculiar style. The walls made of ant concrete wrap up the branches of the shrubs. The dense leaves overhead make it difficult for aerial reconnaissance to detect this fortress, as if it is integrated with the shrubs.
This fortress has some features of the fortress of the Archangel King's Legion, such as surrounding walls and trenches, as well as a lookout. But at the same time, it was transformed beyond recognition by magic, and it almost blended into the surrounding shrubs, as if the bark of the shrubs melted and flowed into a ball.
There is one such fortress on each of the two hills. They are not large in scale, covering an area of less than 1 square meter.
When the assault troops tried to attack directly, they encountered long-range fire counterattacks from the fortress and were suppressed for a while!
