In the next two days, the Destroyer's siege force was still unable to defeat the Fifth Fortress, and more than half of it itself was lost.
After losing the White Belly Destroyer's self-destruction, no matter how the Destroyer attacked the city, tried to break through the shooting port, or even tried to get into the ground, all to no avail. The fifth fortress, which occupies a favorable location, always stands firm like a rock in the stormy waves!
At this time, the main force of the Destroyer had already broken through the sixth to eleventh fortresses, and the front was approaching the twelfth fortress, which was also the last fortress before them. Only the Fifth Fortress is still firmly wedged behind the Destroyer army like an iron nail.
If the Destroyer is an ordinary ant army, then the persistence and existence of the Fifth Fortress will be of great significance. The troops stationed here can threaten the army's logistics transportation line at any time, forcing it to either devote all its strength to pulling out this nail, or endure the logistics. The line is constantly being harassed and may run out of food at any time.
It's a pity that the Destroyer is not an ordinary army. Zhu Jue has never discovered the existence of logistics transportation. The Destroyer seems to feed on the captured corpses, but no one has ever seen it eating. It just keeps transporting the corpses. Fifth The garrison of the fortress would occasionally loot these corpses and bury them, as long as they didn't let the enemy ants get their way.
After repeatedly failing to conquer the Fifth Fortress, the Destroyer temporarily gave up on this stubborn "nail" and moved the siege troops elsewhere. Every day, troops transporting corpses and advancing reinforcements pass through the ant tunnel in front of the fortress without any scruples.
On September 21, the Destroyer's center army had captured the Twelfth Fortress and threatened. The civilized ant coalition stationed here is temporarily commanded by "Gun II", and the order received is to stick to it. So the civilized ant coalition and the Destroyers conducted several tentative small and medium-sized field battles, with mixed success and failure. The enemy army was not able to find the position of the main force, and it was only then that the advance of the Destroyer's middle army was temporarily stopped.
The marching ant nation also began to mobilize, and they assembled a million troops on the front line to fight tit for tat. Compared to the civilized ant coalition, which is passively waiting for Zhu Jue's return, the army ants are very tough and take the initiative to attack!
For a moment, in the sight of the flying knight in the air, the ground was full of marching formations full of the characteristics of marching ants. These marching formations were still a thick formation when they set off from the starting point, and then gradually spread out, like a tree from trunk to branches, sometimes extending to hundreds of lines, with each line crisscrossing each other and spreading towards the front line.
In each queue, on the outside is a warning formation composed of sentries, and on the inside is a flow of ants that is constantly surging forward. Under the guidance of the scouts, it curves forward along the most suitable ant path, guided by pheromones. Companions at the rear.
The army of marching ants formed a formation while maneuvering, and along the way they hunted insects that had been half-frozen in the autumn to make up their army's food.
The army of marching ants rushed in from the east and west sides at the same time. While sending out partial divisions to block the left and right wings of the Destroyer's forward troops, they also launched a pincer-shaped offensive in an attempt to flank the Destroyer's central army from both sides. They actually managed to eat up to 300,000 enemies in one go. military intentions.
Judging from the movements of the Marching Ant Army and the Destroyers, a war will break out between the two sides within one to two days at most!
Before the formal battle, a fierce scouting battle broke out between the three forces of the Destroyer, the Marching Ant Army, and the Civilized Ant Alliance under Zhu Jue temporarily commanded by "Gun II".
The Destroyer's scouts are composed of ordinary Destroyers, Pot-belly Destroyers, and faster-moving eight-legged Destroyers. They are spread out in groups of hundreds of years, with the purpose of extending their own warning range and excluding those coming from other directions. interference, and at the same time detect potential enemy forces to guide the direction of the army.
As for the troops under "Gun II", the scouts are still composed of scythe-hunting ferocious ant warriors, thin-footed swift ant warriors and fly-tiger knights, and are protected by flying knights in the air. They must cover the battlefield, prevent the Destroyer's sentinels from discovering the specific location, block or mobilize them in other directions, and hold on until the God Emissary King returns.
The scouts of the army ant clan are composed of young and strong warriors of the clan. Their scouting tasks are relatively simple. Most of them are not interested in fighting. They are only responsible for reconnaissance and then leading large troops to attack. But when they are besieged or necessary, these army ant warriors are also difficult to provoke.
The three parties dispatched tens of thousands of scouts, who were dispersed into thousands of scout teams. They spread out in a vast war zone and repeatedly staged battles with each other, including ambushes and counterattacks, assaults and sneak attacks. Performed frequently!
————
In a patch of rye grass, a small group of fly tiger knights and scythe ant scout warriors were ambushing.
Their mission is to prevent a wave of hundreds of Destroyers from approaching.
Until this moment, the Destroyer army still didn't know that the gathering place of the Civilized Ant Alliance forces was close at hand. Under the mobilization of the Civilized Ant Alliance troops, they were moving in the wrong direction to the east, and were about to expose their vulnerable flanks. At the same time, one step Step into the pincer trap of the army of army ants without even realizing it!
However, the Destroyer's scouts are still wandering around. Once they discover this large lair, they will definitely turn around or divide their forces to attack. Therefore, "Gun II" followed the established strategy and sent a large number of cover troops to cover the battlefield.
This group of destroyers has already approached about 20 meters nearby. If you take a few more steps, you may be able to see the tall ant mound of the nest. "Gun II" has ordered that this group of destroyers should be kept at all costs and not allowed to return. .
In the air, the flying knights have already taken action. Previously, the flying knights tried to use air strikes to prevent the opponent from approaching, but now they are more disrupting the enemy's formation and preparing for the encirclement and annihilation of the ground forces.
When another round of fire bombs and incendiary bombs were thrown down, and there was a brief chaos in the Destroyer scout team, the soldiers of the Ant Alliance who had been ambushed in advance decisively broke out! At the same time, friendly troops also came out from the other two locations!
The Destroyer immediately woke up, and the shots from the Big Belly Destroyer caused some Wenyan Alliance soldiers to be attacked and trapped on the commando road. However, most of the Wenyan Alliance soldiers quickly entered the enemy's formation and started a melee with the enemy with three times the strength advantage.
I saw the jaw knife and the jaw wrestling, fire bombs and slime flying all over the sky, spears and sting needles piercing each other's bodies, and the corpses fell one by one. Although the scale of the scout battle was small, it was no less brutal than a battle between millions of troops.
In just ten minutes, the Destroyer army was wiped out, and the Wenyan Alliance soldiers also lost a considerable number of troops and began to clean up the battlefield!
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the flying knights in the sky anxiously drew warning flight trajectories, indicating that an unplanned enemy force was approaching!
