The war cloud is as deep as a mountain!
On July 22, the Destroyer troops divided into three groups and launched a new offensive. The front of the troops came like black clouds pressing down on the city and Mount Tai pressing down on the top.
Three days later, under the pincer offensive launched by the Destroyer from the west and south, a quarter of the defense line of the western fortress group guarded by the Thin-footed Ant Army lost a quarter of the fortress, but the main force of the Thin-legged Ant Army had not been seriously damaged. , and still have the strength to fight
At the same time, Zhu Jue's troops guarding the northern defense line faced an invasion of 120,000 to 130,000 Destroyers. The Destroyers coming like a black tide bypassed the cracks in the rocks and quickly "engulfed" the fortress and the surrounding area. The ground parts of these two fortresses have been lost, and they are fighting on the underground defense lines.
Zhu Jue has already been gathering mobile troops, hoping to use the tactics from the last time and cooperate with the defenders of the two frontline fortresses to continuously contain and harass the Destroyers. He will take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the enemy troops are dispersed to find an opportunity to eat up part of the enemy troops and accumulate a small victory. For a great victory, finally defeat or force the Destroyer to retreat!
But this time, the Destroyer had a large number of troops and was determined to conquer He. The two armies rarely divided their forces, leaving Zhu Jue with no opportunity to take advantage of him.
A very important aspect of why the Destroyer Army is powerful is that it can fight without logistics for a long time. Zhu Jue has studied it many times and has never found an obvious logistics supply line for the Destroyer. The logistics supply line is often the weakness of an army, especially the army fighting on the outside. If the army does not have the equipment, it will perish. For example, Yuan Shao's army in the Battle of Guandu is a good example! And without a logistical supply line, the Destroyer lacks one of its biggest and most easily targeted weaknesses.
Zhu Jue couldn't target the Destroyer's logistics line, so he could only exhaust the opponent's vitality and fight a tough battle! Dumb war! This is the situation that the God Envoy King's army, which is far away from the mainland of the Ant United Kingdom and is difficult to replenish, is least willing to face.
The Destroyer's fierce offensive did not depend on Zhu Jue's will. In the past few days, the fortress and its underground positions have been captured by 4 lines of defense, leaving 5 lines of defense. The defenders are even rushing to deploy new lines of defense. , hoping to hold off the Destroyer for a longer period of time.
The fighting in the underground battlefield is extremely fierce, and a sudden attack on a line of defense often occurs only when the preset battlefield nest is filled with corpses. Facing endless destroyers, the defenders used every ounce of their strength. Only when the ballistae was damaged or the battlefield was completely blocked did the defenders give up this line of defense and retreat to the next line of defense.
Even though there are secret passages and long-distance underground tunnels connected to each other, Zhu Jue can continuously transport reinforcements, weapons, and food into the besieged fortress. However, the underground space of the fortress is limited after all, especially the secret passages and long-distance underground tunnels. Entrances and exits must not be abandoned, and the defenders cannot build new lines of defense indefinitely, nor can they retreat step by step indefinitely.
Zhu Jue has calculated that the current 9 underground defense lines are already very dense. If at most 2-3 more lines of defense are deployed, the defenders will have no way to retreat. If they retreat further, they will be forced to give up secret passages and long-distance underground tunnels, and abandon this Two places are no different than drinking poison to quench thirst.
With the intensity of the Destroyer's attack, it is estimated that in less than a week, the fortress and the fortress defenders will have nowhere to retreat!
Zhu Jue was anxious, the defenders were in trouble, but the mobile troops he personally commanded could not find the flaws exposed by the Destroyer. Two reluctant attacks only resulted in the loss of troops and generals.
In front of the army of Destroyers who are huddled together like invulnerable beetles, attacking reluctantly is tantamount to suicide!
The Destroyer is like a shell-covered turtle rushing into a fish tank. It is slow but has no weaknesses. It is eating all the fish in the fish tank little by little!
Zhu Jue even took the initiative to expose the flaws in the depth of the defense several times, trying to trick the "Radar Destroyer" and attract the Destroyer to divide his troops to attack, but the Destroyer was not moved at all, which made Zhu Jue unable to do anything even with all his clever tricks.
On the other side, the thin-footed ant army on the western border defense line was also in trouble. Facing the invasion of two groups of destroyers, "Broken Horn" and "Long Horn" followed their previous tactics and wanted to block the south attack from the west and eat them first. The southern destroyer with fewer troops.
On July 25, the main force of the Thin-footed Ant Army launched in large numbers and surrounded more than 60,000 South Road Destroyers. After a day of fierce fighting, they were defeated by the opponent and broke out. At the same time, the West Route Destroyer ignored the fortress of the Thin-footed Ant Army that was still resisting behind them and rushed over a long distance, trying to join the South Route Destroyer and launch a decisive battle.
The thin-footed ants did not dare to fight and retreated separately. After a day and night of fighting and evacuation, the planned encirclement and annihilation battle did not achieve the expected results. The Thin-footed Ant Army only annihilated 20,000 Destroyers with 50,000 casualties, and was unable to reverse the unfavorable battle situation.
Seeing that the battles in the north and west are at a disadvantage, and that the country no longer has the power to provide more troops to support the main nest of the Thin-footed Ant Kingdom, the senior officials are already discussing whether it is necessary to imitate the sharp-tailed ant clan and the honeypot ant clan. , preserving the bloodline by letting the country go, waiting for a comeback in the future!
Such discussions inevitably spread to the two border guards who were still fighting. Unlike the "Broken Horn" and "Long Horn" who were already thinking about the feasibility of transfer, Zhu Jue did not intend to leave like this, even here It is not his sphere of influence. Even if the entire army of the Thin-footed Ant Army is annihilated, it will not affect the overall strength of the Ant Alliance.
However, out of his extreme hatred for the Destroyer and important strategic considerations, Zhu Jue still planned to fight here again until it was no longer possible.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that the top leaders of the Thin-footed Ant Nation had lost confidence, Zhu Jue once again persuaded the "Priest King" and, in the name of the instructions of the Wind God Oracle, asked the Thin-legged Ant Army on the western border defense line to cooperate with him and prepare to implement a plan. A massive counterattack.
On July 29, the Thin-footed Ant Army left a small number of troops to assist the garrison of various fortresses that were still holding on, and contained the nearly 200,000 troops of the West and South Destroyers who had gathered.
As for the main force of the 500,000-strong Thin-legged Ant Army, they were lightly armed and mobile, using their unique long-distance rapid movement. It took them one night and half a day to rush to the northern border and join Zhu Jue's troops!
The army of tiny-footed ants who had traveled a long distance got a night's rest. At sunrise the next day, ant heads were swarming inside and outside. Countless ants of all races rushed out and formed an array in the open space outside the spacious fortress.
Most of the mobile forces of the Civilized Ant Tribe Alliance Army in the Xiaozujie Ant Nation War Zone, totaling more than 650,000 soldiers, are pouring out and are about to rush to the battlefield of the war!
