"boom"!
There was a flash of fire, and a small puff of white smoke rose up, then dissipated in the breeze. Flesh, flesh and wall fragments flew across a section of the city wall, and all the ants within a few centimeters were swept away.
When the smoke cleared, there were no standing ants on this section of the wall, leaving only a patch of flesh and blood and a few ants struggling in pain a little further away.
The defenders on the city wall suffered heavy losses due to the self-destruction of the White Belly Destroyer regardless of friend or foe. Although the Destroyers themselves suffered a large number of accidental injuries, the Destroyer's weight and thick armor made them relatively less damaged. Coupled with a steady stream of backup, one city wall after another was captured one after another.
[Xishibao] The defenders on the city wall only had more than 10,000 soldiers, scattered on the long city wall, which was already stretched thin. The small reserve team was still able to put out fires everywhere at the beginning. Some of the breached areas were recovered or temporarily blocked, but more areas were unable to be recaptured. They could only watch as more and more destroyers gathered on the city wall.
As time passed, the reserve team was exhausted and still unable to reverse the situation. The defenders in the ant mound organized several waves of support troops to come forward, but it was a drop in the bucket.
Fortunately, there is a city wall blocking the way, and the Destroyers cannot drive straight in. The narrow city wall also greatly reduces the Destroyer's offensive efficiency. Before completely controlling the city wall, the Destroyers obviously cannot attack the ant mound with peace of mind.
After more than half a day of fighting, in the afternoon, the defenders of [Xishibao] sent three batches of reinforcements to the city wall, but more than half of the city wall was still lost.
Especially the city wall facing the Destroyer camp has been completely controlled by the Destroyers coming like a black tide. The Destroyers can even divide their forces from here to directly attack the second line of defense of the defenders.
The defenders fought separately on the city walls and ant mounds. Destroyers climbed up the firing windows of some lower-height ballistae, and even tried to poke their ferocious huge heads in to bite them.
These ballistas that were under attack turned around one by one and shot almost in the face, hitting the headshots of the arrogant Destroyers at close range. Some of the ballistae were caught in the jaws of the Destroyer before they could fire, and they fell apart with a sharp shake.
The battle was carried out in various ways. In just half of the day, the battle in the fortress had completely heated up. Both sides were fighting to the death at all costs, each paying thousands of casualties.
Seeing that the city wall defense line was about to be lost, the defenders of [West Stone Fort] began to cover alternately, trying to withdraw as many effective forces as possible into the second line of defense in the ant mound, preparing to continue the defense here.
At this time, Zhu Jue, who was patrolling in the air, made a move.
He led the escorting flying knights to lower their height and draw an agreed trajectory somewhere on the ground!
The Destroyers paid no attention to the actions of Zhu Jue, who was out of reach from the air and seemed to pose no threat. Only the long curved tentacles of the radar destroyers occasionally pointed to the sky, aiming at Zhu Jue, but they made no next move.
But within two minutes, behind the Destroyer Army, which was attacking the city with all its strength, there was a sudden "rumbling" sound of thunder!
This is not thunder! It's the sound of gunfire!
Zhu Jue's mobile troops, including the only field artillery unit, had moved to the side and rear of the Destroyer's camp without anyone noticing, and they suddenly launched an attack!
Dozens of mung bean and millet shells were fired unimpeded into the Destroyer team from behind, bouncing and rolling on the ground until they smashed into the ground or the Destroyer's body, and did not stop until their kinetic energy was exhausted!
Dozens of Destroyers, some with their joints and limbs broken, are still looking for enemy ants viciously but blankly, or their bodies have been severely injured, twisting and struggling on the ground for a few times before making any movement.
Less than half a minute later, there was another round of rumbling cannons and flying barrages, setting off another wave of bloodshed.
At this time, the two-digit radar destroyers in the army of destroyers pointed their tentacles from all directions to the sides and rear, and discovered the enemy troops that had appeared there!
Zhu Jue also did not expect that his troops would maneuver so smoothly and quietly to this excellent shooting position this time, and were not discovered by the radar destroyer until the target was opened. This also shows that his previous speculations and targeted arrangements are reasonable.
In previous battles, Zhu Jue had some guesses about the function of the Radar Destroyer, and noticed that the Radar Destroyer's tentacles seemed to be able to detect the presence of enemy troops at long distances.
Faced with such battlefield radar, the God Envoy King Legion with aerial reconnaissance did not suffer, but other civilized ant tribes suffered greatly, and their every move was controlled by the Radar Destroyer.
Although the God Envoy King's army does not suffer a disadvantage, if it can restrain the radar destroyer's detection, it will be a great benefit to itself. So Zhu Jue began to observe and study the Radar Destroyer. In recent battles, he frequently flew into the sky just for better observation.
How did the Radar Destroyer detect the ant army in the nearby area? Zhu Jue still doesn't know the principle, but it is obviously impossible to rely on vision like the flying knight, and neither the hearing nor touch of sound waves can reach such a detection range.
Then the most likely way is to detect electromagnetic waves similar to radar. Zhu Jue also named the opponent "Radar Destroyer" based on this guess.
In reality, there is often evidence to confirm Zhu Jue's judgment. He found that radar destroyers at work would often climb higher rocks and plants under escort, and then rotate their tentacles. If Zhu Jue guessed correctly, this is because radar waves need to be emitted from a higher position and continuously turned to scan in order to cover a larger area.
After guessing how the radar destroyer works, Zhu Jue has a way to restrain, induce and deceive the opponent.
The battle in [West Stone Fort] is urgent today, and the mobile troops of [Houshi Stone Fort] gathered and set off early in the morning. At the beginning of their departure, Zhu Jue's army marched in an open and honest formation.
About 2 hours away from the battlefield, Zhu Jue observed that the tentacles of the radar destroyer were all pointing to the southeast - that was the direction of the mobile troops.
Zhu Jue realized that the mobile force had been discovered, and immediately ordered the flying knights to pass on the order, and then the mobile force retreated, while the radar destroyers explored this direction several times before giving up. The mobile part has obviously escaped the detection range of the radar destroyer.
It seems that with the size of the mobile force, it will be detected about 2 hours away. And if there is no way to deceive the eyes and ears of the radar destroyer, the mobile troops will not be able to arrive at the predetermined position as planned, and the defenders will attack the destroyer from both inside and outside!
What if we can hide from the radar destroyer! ? Zhu Jue desperately collected knowledge about radar waves in his mind! And he really thought of it!
