After hearing the news, Zhu Jue thought about it and faced a dilemma again.
Do you choose to continue with the original plan?
In this way, if the current enemy army can be eliminated in a short period of time, the army can be organized to continue fighting with the second enemy army. But it is certain that regardless of victory or defeat, the soldiers will be very tired and the casualties will be greatly increased.
Once the enemy forces in front of them are not eliminated in time, Zhu Jue's civilized ant coalition will have to fight two enemy forces at the same time, and the outcome is still unknown.
If the plan is changed and today's attack operation is canceled, the civilized ant coalition forces involved in the ambush can naturally evacuate, but once the three enemy forces merge, Zhu Jue may not have such a good chance to defeat them all!
In fact, Zhu Jue had a plan for the current situation, but he was hesitant when the matter came. In the end, Zhu Jue bit his jaw and decided to act according to the plan!

The battle broke out in two places at the same time!
On the ambush battlefield, when the artillery shells and rockets fired by the artillery of the King of Angels at a high altitude accurately hit the ant tunnels in the valley, smoke and dust filled the air, and the flames exploded. The Imperial Army of Paving Ants in the valley were caught off guard and fell into the trap as expected. confusion.
The ambushed civilized ant coalition rushed down the sloping slope almost before the smoke of the artillery fire dissipated, and the timing was perfect.
Some soldiers even rushed too fast, rolling and falling until they stabilized themselves or were blocked by some obstacle. Fortunately, with the size and carapace of ants, such falls and tumblings often do not cause injuries.
The civilized ant alliance quickly and ferociously charged into the chaotic enemy forces, while the fierce soldiers of the Pavement Ant Empire Army did not sit still and waited for death, and began to slowly organize resistance.
About three hours west of this ambush battlefield, there was also a large group of pavement ant imperial troops, arranged in a marching column tens of meters long, also marching along the valley ant track.
Suddenly, warning pheromones and friction sounds erupted in this army!
In the air, the flying knights who were supposed to participate in the battle on the previous battlefield were like a disturbed swarm of bees, arranged in a black cloud-like aerial formation, and attacked the Pavement Ant Empire army on the ground like a hurricane. Soldiers.
The warning from the Pavement Ant Empire came a little late, and the commander with the best vision had poor eyesight. He couldn't tell the difference between flying knights, "mosquitoes" and ordinary flying insects in the sky from a few meters away.
Therefore, the warning and the attack will come to the marching Pavement Ant Imperial Army soldiers almost at the same time!
Fire bombs, incendiary bombs, and explosive bombs were thrown down like raindrops. Sparks and bursts of explosions immediately appeared on the ground. The frightened ants fled in all directions. Some warriors sprayed formic acid into the air under the command of the commander. !

1 hour later…
In the ambush battlefield, Zhu Jue sat anxiously on the ruins of the high ground. From here, he could have an unobstructed view of the entire battlefield.
The situation on the battlefield is still unclear, at least not as optimistic as Zhu Jue estimated!
The Pavement Ant Imperial Army is worthy of being the elite of hundreds of battles. They were suddenly attacked. Under the threat of artillery and rocket launchers, when the civilized ant coalition forces were already in front of them, and when their own army was still on the march, they relied on part of them. The sacrifice of the soldiers delayed the formation change of the large army.
In this regard, the Pavement Ant Imperial Army clearly has the shadow of ruthless destroyers.
In addition to the vassal warriors and slave warriors running around like headless flies, the soldiers from the Pavilion Ant Empire quickly formed square formations under the leadership of commanders at all levels. The large and small square and round formations are crowded together and spaced apart from each other, but they look like a fish scale formation!
The momentum of the civilized ant coalition that launched the attack was shattered by these small formations that were as dense as fish scales and as solid as walnuts. Those intruders who penetrated deep into the gaps between the fish scales were quickly killed by attacks from all directions, and the remaining troops had to attack from the outside. , it is difficult to make progress for a while.
An ambush war and a surprise attack were forced to turn into a war of attrition and a battle of fortification!
Zhu Jue watched the Pavilion Ant Imperial Army quickly integrate from the chaos, while the momentum of our army was gradually curbed.
Fortunately, the enemy's fish scale formation was not perfect. It was divided into several strands. Part of the Angel King's infantry regiment embedded in it like a wedge played a great role, making it difficult for the enemy's various units to support each other. , and also left a chance of victory for the civilized ant alliance!
Zhu Jue decisively joined the reserve team, and ordered the rocket launchers to be brought to the front line to shoot in the face, and he had just defeated two of the fish scale formations.
Finally, what is in front of the attacking force is the last fish scale formation, which is also the main force of the enemy army and the command center of the Grand Duke of the Pavement Ant Clan!

Meanwhile, ambush west of the battlefield!
The flying knights' continuous air strikes were effective. The Pavement Ant Imperial Army on the ground mobilized a large number of resources to try to defend themselves from the air. The vassals and slave warriors of the forest ants and yellow ants climbed up to the higher ground on both sides of the valley. Trying to threaten the flying knights with formic acid spray.
Unless they are very careful, the flexible flying knights can easily bypass places with anti-aircraft firepower and continue to slaughter the ants who have no ability to resist.
Under such a blow, the strength of the Pavement Ant Empire Army became more and more dispersed, almost being restrained in place and unable to move. Troops that entered rashly would be attacked first!
However, the flying knights could not sustain it for long. Even if they kept using ammunition sparingly and for the purpose of containment rather than killing, the ammunition carried by the flying knights was still rapidly depleted.
More and more flying knight troops who ran out of ammunition had to leave the battlefield and quickly returned to the rear base in [Panxia City] to replenish ammunition before rushing back to the battlefield. But this round trip takes at least 2 hours.
Seeing that the firepower from the air was getting weaker and weaker, the Pavement Ant Empire army also took the opportunity to move quickly. The remaining flying knights were unable to stop its intentions.
This Pavement Ant Imperial Army is only about an hour away from the ambush battlefield!
————
At this moment, in the ambush battlefield, the battle reached a fever pitch.
After clearing out other troops outside the enemy's main formation, the civilized ant coalition ignored the numerous panicked enemy troops and quickly devoted themselves to the general offensive.
The Pavement Ant Imperial Army was under the command of a Grand Duke, and there were about 70,000 fresh troops guarding the Grand Duke, fighting stubbornly.
This enemy force is very motivated and very tenacious. It survived two waves of rocket fire at close range without collapsing. It also repelled two offensives from the civilized ant coalition.
In particular, some of the deformed pavement ant warriors are like the reincarnation of fierce insects. Unfortunately, a legion commander of the King's Infantry Legion died in the battle!
Seeing the two groups of paving ant imperial troops getting closer and closer, the pressure on Zhu Jue is also increasing!
