"Dongmao's" tactics were the customary soil work work of the Divine Envoy Army. They avoided the Destroyer's solidly fortified front entrance and opened 12 additional passages from the surface, directly connecting to different depths of the lair underground.
Subsequently, thousands of soldiers from the base area poured in, circled behind the Destroyer and launched an attack. They fiercely fought for every inch of land, hive by hive, passage by passage, with the stubborn Destroyer.
Although they had the dual advantages of surprise attacks on earthworks and numbers, the troops in the base area still suffered heavy casualties. Three legions successively withdrew from the battle due to excessive casualties, the death of their commanders, or the disintegration of their soldiers, and were replaced by fresh troops. .
"Dongmao" didn't even look at the defeated, frightened, and scarred troops that had withdrawn. They just listened to the battle reports coming back from the underground and considered the most suitable moment to throw in the latest fresh troops!
The battle lasted until the afternoon. After two front-line regiments, which had been recuperating for a long time, were dispatched to join the general offensive, the already dwindling resistance in [Ya Zi City] was finally wiped out. The troops in the base area suffered more than 2,000 casualties and were completely wiped out. These more than 400 stubborn destroyers were killed.
Although the casualty ratio is not very good-looking, the huge strategic advantage brought by capturing [Ya Zi City] can still make this small-scale but extremely fierce battle have special significance.
After the war, "Red Di" personally led part of the army to stay in [Ya Zi City], while "Dong Mao", after hastily reorganizing its troops, set out the next day with about 25,000 elite soldiers and headed north.
It turned out that on the day the battle of [Yazi City] broke out, a Destroyer force of tens of thousands commanded by Radar Destroyer tried to come from the valley north of [Yazi City] for support. The remaining troops in the northern base area used sand and gravel branches to build an earthen wall in the narrowest section of the valley to block the road, and then relied on obstacles and backup defense lines to hold on.
The Destroyer's attack was very fierce. In just one day and one night, nearly half of the 40,000-strong blocking force in the base area had been killed or injured. The earthen wall was once breached, and it was seen that it could not hold up for long.
At the same time, in the other two valleys, Destroyer troops also launched sporadic offensives, but the Destroyer's current main attack direction is obviously the North Valley. Outside the North Valley, the Destroyer Brigade has assembled as many as 100,000 troops. This is also the most assembled enemy force, and it seems that it can join the battle for the North Valley at any time.
Originally, "Eastern Mao" thought that after conquering [Ya Zi City], the vanguard of the destroyers would withdraw, so that the three major base areas that had been connected could calmly mobilize their forces and rely on their internal advantages to contain the forces in other directions with a small number of troops. Destroyer, concentrate superior forces to resist the pressure from the north first.
But now the situation is not good, and "Dong Mao" has no time to wait for the follow-up support from the base area. He must lead the first batch of troops that have been assembled before to rush to the crumbling defense line as soon as possible to stabilize the defense and prevent the enemy's penetration. Otherwise, [Ya Zi City], which has just gone through a tough battle and is now in ruins, cannot be defended and will be lost again, and then the three major base areas will be separated again!

After a day of rapid march, the "Dong Mao" troops arrived at the battlefield near dusk in the afternoon. After some detours, they appeared in a favorable position on the side and rear of the Destroyer's attack force.
The radar destroyers obviously discovered them and mobilized a group of more than a thousand destroyers to set up defenses in this direction. However, their main force was still fighting in the front. It was obvious that they planned to defeat the base defenders in front of them first, and then take care of the "Dong Mao" troops. .
At this time, the unique dim red light of the setting sun enveloped the earth, staining the whole world with a layer of blood. But on the battlefield, the real blood and debris everywhere show the real cruelty - the cruelty that is exclusive to battlefield killing!
This garrison force in the base area is mainly composed of second- and third-line troops. Under the command of a big-headed male ant from the Ant Alliance, "Tubiao", it has withstood the indiscriminate attacks of tens of thousands of Destroyers for two days and two nights. I am also close to running out of oil...
At the beginning, the defenders in the base area could still rely on the earthen barriers that hastily blocked the valley entrance and launch defense from a high position, which gave them a certain advantage in the terrain.
When the Destroyer climbed up the earthen walls made of loose gravel and fallen leaves, he always slipped one step at a time, making it difficult to stay focused. But soon, under the control of the Radar Destroyer, the Destroyer began to frantically dig the foundation of the wall, intending to directly use force to overcome cleverness and break a hole in the wall first.
"Tubiao" had to organize troops to launch an attack in an attempt to disperse the Destroyer's digging force, but several counterattacks were easily repelled.
As a last resort, the troops in the base area began to continuously thicken the fortifications behind the earth wall in an attempt to delay the destruction of the wall, while the Destroyers attacked and dug in front of the earth wall. Construction is definitely not as fast as destruction. On the first night, the destroyers who worked day and night finally dug out a section of the wall!
Then the Destroyers swarmed in from the gap. The troops in the base area who had been taking turns to mend the wall all day were very tired. In addition, they were not good at night fighting. The legions that were thrown into sealing the gap were often defeated in a short time. They could only rely on their strength advantage to continue. Use the flesh and blood of soldiers to fill the flood of enemy troops, and at the same time continue to gather the remaining soldiers and reorganize the troops in the rear.
At the same time, the base troops on the wall tried to block the opening by throwing building materials from a high position. However, the Destroyers who cooperated with the attack soon took advantage of the chaos and climbed up the wall from the front, driving away the unprepared defenders.
At this point, the troops in the base area lost their defenses for the first time, and the situation became increasingly worse.
In the end, "Tubiao" relied on the tactics of constantly rotating troops to barely hold off the Destroyer's offensive for most of the night. After the Destroyer was exhausted and retreated, he organized his troops to regain the earth wall, and then used some The debris barely blocked the gap visually.
After sunrise the next day, the Destroyers launched another attack. This time, the troops in the base area only lasted until noon before losing their position again. The Destroyers who poured into the gap and jumped over the earth wall like a tide drove the base area troops back steadily. Biao" led his troops to retreat all the way to the second preset defense line before they stabilized their steps.
This line of defense is built on a fallen dead tree. The inside of the dead tree has rotted. There were many holes made by grubs before. The caves extend in all directions. It is not particularly suitable for defense, but this is the only advantageous location left in Bei Valley.
Love reading books
The Destroyers rushed into the attack with all their strength, climbing up the rotten wood and drilling into the holes. A group of troops attacked from the gap between the rotten wood and the ground.
The defenders were surrounded by enemies on three sides. If the terrain hadn't limited the Destroyer's attack width, they might have been unable to withstand it! It was at this moment that the "Eastern Mao" troops entered the battlefield in a roundabout way!
