Since ten months, on the battlefield of the Marching Ant Kingdom, the invading Destroyers have been resolutely resisted by the Marching Ant clan.
Facing the near-invincible Destroyers in large-scale battles, coupled with the shortage of food and fodder, the army of army ants did not try to fight decisively like last year. Instead, they broke into pieces, split and reunited, and continuously attacked small groups of Destroyers who were alone.
Although the scale of the battles was generally small in this way, the frequency was high, and small victories were constantly accumulated into large losses. The casualties of the Destroyers surged, but the battle losses of the Marching Ant Soldiers were also not low.
The Destroyer also responded quickly. Under the guidance of the "Radar Commander", the Destroyer began to gradually integrate the scattered raiding forces into large and medium-sized clusters, so that it would be difficult for the marching ants to eat them all. If they gather, An army of sufficient size will be detected in advance by the "Radar Destroyer".
As a result, the army of army ants had no choice but to switch to a nest defense battle, hoping to consume the Destroyer's troops. The Destroyers began to aggressively attack the large nests guarded by the army ants, forcing the army of army ants to join forces.
In the back-and-forth, about 100,000 Destroyers along the way gradually separated from the support of other Destroyer groups and went out alone. After occupying a marching ant nest, they were already far away from Zhu Jue's civilization. The ant coalition is only 3 days away.
Zhu Jue keenly saw the fighter plane from the flying knight's reconnaissance. At the same time, the Marching Ant Kingdom has been asking Zhu Jue's troops to attack. Even Zhu Jue's subordinates, such as the thief ant male ant "Madman", have been clamoring for a fight.
So, on April 17, Zhu Jue finally ordered the army to attack.
————
Zhu Jue's civilized ant coalition army assembled a total of 120,000 troops after the beginning of spring. Except for leaving a few old and weak soldiers to guard the nest, almost all of them came out.
Among them, Zhu Jue personally commanded four elite divine envoy king legions. They first detoured to the back of the lair occupied by the destroyers and cut off the escape route of the destroyers. The main force of the army escorted the engineering equipment and defended the Destroyer's lair. The thief ants and the flying knights of the God Envoy King's Legion provide air cover.
On April 20, the weather was sunny and cloudy, and the sun just rose.
The Destroyer is still entrenched in the target lair and has not moved.
After several days of marching, especially starting early this morning, although Zhu Jue's civilized ant coalition was tired, they rushed into the battlefield as quickly as possible without rest.
The detection function of the "Radar Destroyer" hiding in the nest was blocked by the nest, and it failed to notice in time that this large coalition of civilized ants had surrounded the battlefield and surrounded this group of destroyers!
The Divine Envoy King's army, commanded by Zhu Jue, quickly inserted into the direction from which the Destroyer came, using the cover of night and vegetation. Judging from the surrounding terrain, this groove under the dense vegetation is also a natural ant tunnel. There are a large number of pheromones of the army ant family on it. It can be seen that there are many ants coming and going on weekdays.
The Angel King's army set up camp here and quickly built a small fortress, which was guarded by "Rambotu II" to block the Destroyer's retreat and support.
Immediately, Zhu Jue returned to the direction of the central battlefield.
On the central battlefield, the Destroyer was already surrounded by the civilized ant coalition forces in place before sunrise. By the time the Destroyer noticed it, it was already after sunrise on the 20th!
After realizing that they were surrounded, the Destroyer immediately divided his troops into several groups and went out to fight. The intention was not to break out of the encirclement at all, but to fight decisively. In the probing tentacles of the "Radar Destroyer", the size of the civilized ant coalition waiting in formation is not kept secret. The Destroyer obviously feels that it can defeat the civilized ant coalition in a single battle.
But the final battle situation was obviously beyond the Destroyer's expectation!
Under the command of Zhu Jue, the civilized ant tribe's coalition forces, which are well prepared and have long been planned, have no intention of engaging in a wild battle with the Destroyers. Otherwise, with the existing strength and the Destroyers of comparable size, a decisive battle will obviously result in total defeat. The annihilation and victory of an army are also the consequences of a tragic victory.
When the civilized ant coalition quietly surrounded them last night, they had quickly occupied the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain around the Destroyer's nest, quickly built simple fortresses, and connected them into a continuous line, locking the enemy's nest firmly.
Although these simple fortresses were not large in scale, and even the ant concrete had not dried thoroughly, they still played a mainstay role when the Destroyers came to attack in large numbers!
The proud artillery of the Divine Envoy Army, as well as the crossbow artillerymen trained in the winter, controlled the artillery and ballistae. Bullets rained down, flesh and blood flew everywhere, the sound of the cannon rumbled, and the shadow of the bow string became the Zhu Jue on the battlefield. .
I saw that the Destroyers who attacked the fortresses guarded by the Angel King's Legion suffered heavy losses under the heavy firepower bombardment. They finally broke through the artillery blockade, and were attacked by the Angel King's Legion and the assisting Thin-legged Ants and other warriors in turn. The counterattack failed and they were never able to get close to the fortress anthill.
It's also the fault of the Destroyer who dispersed his forces and attacked in all directions. If he concentrated his forces to break through all the way, even the well-prepared civilized ant coalition would be unable to resist.
On the middle battlefield, the most difficult battle took place on the defense line guarded by the Stone Desert Archback Ant Imperial Army.
Last year, reinforcements from the Stone Desert Campoback Ant Empire set off from the Black Fire Ant Kingdom and arrived at the battlefield of the Marching Ant Kingdom to join Zhu Jue's troops. This support army is highly independent, and Zhu Jue can not control it. Therefore, its army is solely responsible for the defense of a section of positions on the east side of the encirclement on the battlefield.
Although the Stone Desert Archback Ant Empire Army also built nests, they were not ant mound fortresses like the Divine Envoy King Army. Instead, they were long walls made of rubble, and the "Sun God Artifact" was placed behind the wall.
At the beginning, when the Destroyer struck, the morning sun was strong, and the "Sun God Artifact" showed its power, sweeping the gathered beam repeatedly across the Destroyer's assault team. The blazing spot was extremely hot, and the Destroyer who was hit was scorched black in just a few seconds, curled up, and was burned to death! The mysterious balls inside some Destroyers were also detonated, and their bodies exploded, blowing away other Destroyers in the surrounding area.
For a while, the Destroyer didn't even get close to the long wall, and was defeated several times under the attack of the "Sun God Artifact", only to come back again and again like a slug!
The clouds in the sky were changeable. After a while, a thick cloud covered the sun. The "Sun God Artifact" immediately became ineffective. The Destroyer also took the opportunity to attack the long wall and fight with the troops of the Stone Desert Archback Ant Empire.
Seeing that the Stone Desert Archback Ant Imperial Army was gradually unable to support itself, the nearby Angel King Legion arrived in time for reinforcements and used long-range firepower to severely defeat the Destroyer rear team. Then the tank troops and Fly Tiger Knights took advantage of the chaos and rushed in, forcing the destruction back. By.
At this time, the sun emerged from the clouds again, and the "Sun God Artifact" gathered light spots again, igniting bursts of white smoke that burned the corpses in the retreating team of destroyers!
The Destroyer finally couldn't hold on any longer, and was defeated and returned to the nest one after another, and was completely surrounded by Zhu Jue's civilized ant coalition forces!
