Before the "Dong Mao" headquarters was in place, he sent messengers to find "Tubiao" and demanded that when his troops launched an attack, the "Tubiao" headquarters should also launch a counterattack.
In the view of "Dong Mao", the Destroyer is currently exhausted, and although his soldiers have gone through a forced march, they still have the upper hand in physical strength. Our army has an advantage in strength, and it is still a favorable situation to attack from both sides. , is a good time to take the initiative.
What's more, if we can't eliminate the Destroyer forward force in front of us as soon as possible and seize the time to rebuild Beigu's defense line, and wait for the Destroyer brigade to arrive, this battle will be impossible to fight!
However, "Tubiao" was not optimistic about "Dong Mao"'s plan. He immediately stated that his soldiers suffered heavy casualties and could only barely hold on to the front and were unable to launch a counterattack. At the same time, he was not optimistic about the plan of "Dong Mao". This battle gave him a more intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the troops in the base area. This was not the squad of the God's Envoy King's Army that he originally commanded. "Tubiao" was very interested in leading the army. Whether such a weak force can defeat the Destroyer has now lost confidence!
Although the two troops of "Dong Mao" and "Tubiao" belong to the same base area, one is the northern base area and the other is the southeast base area. Their command rights are independent and there is no direct affiliation. Although "Dong Mao" has higher qualifications and status, he cannot command "Tubiao".
Therefore, the "Dong Mao" unit could only launch an attack alone, trying to break through the obstruction of the Destroyer's flanking troops, and then work with the "Tubiao" unit to attack the main force of the Destroyer from front to back and reverse the situation of the battle!
At the same time, the flying knight troops from the defensive positions in the air also came to the battlefield at the agreed time and used bombing firepower to support the ground battle!
For a moment, the battlefield was filled with explosions and rumbles of blood!
————
While the "East Mao" and "Tubiao" troops were fighting fiercely, another base area force was trying to break out.
This small army is led by a low-level commander of marching ants, Captain Fifty, and its total strength is only a few dozen marching ants and two bullet ants. They were originally on guard at the westernmost outpost of the southwest base, but not long ago, the Destroyer in front of them somehow evaded the detection of the flying knights in the air and suddenly broke out without warning.
Aerial reconnaissance cannot achieve full coverage at all times, so the army in the base area has also set up many warning posts on the ground. They are spread across the vast border in small groups of three to five, hoping to provide assistance in the event of an invasion. early warning effect.
This small force is the garrison of the logistics camp of the guard post. It is responsible for allocating the material supply of the guard post and regularly rotating the ants of the guard post. This is also the largest garrison near the western border area. You can even pass through outside the garrison. Collect and collect some food supplies on the spot.
Outside the camp, in the direction from which the Destroyer came, there were at least three warning posts, but none of the sentries came back to warn, so the situation was probably in danger! It was only the two army ants collecting grass roots outside the camp that saw the opportunity quickly, and the camp that received the news was not raided and wiped out in a wave.
As the commander of the camp, Captain Fifty of the Marching Ants immediately sent three fast-footed messengers to report the news to the rear. At the same time, he summoned the nearby ants to try to rely on the station to resist.
However, after seeing in his compound eyes the incoming Destroyers, no less than a few hundred of them, a mass of black mass, Captain Fifty, who kept in mind Zhu Jue's lesson to the troops in the base area that "you can lose the nest, but not the ants" immediately gave up on this plan. It was not a simple camp built for defense. He led his men to turn around and retreat in a hurry.
Except for the slow speed of the bullet ants, who were ordered by the captain to break out in the other direction, the speed of the marching ants was very fast. The captain even planned to hang the destroyer in a circle to let the bullet ants and others who did not return. The ants have a chance to evacuate, and then evacuate themselves.
But soon, Captain Fiftieth discovered that among the pursuing Destroyers, hundreds of Destroyers with long jointed limbs emerged from the formation, and their speed was actually a little faster than the army ants. Fortunately, the Destroyer Brigade was attracted by itself and ignored the other ants that were scattered around and fled. These soldiers still had great hope of escaping.
The captain of the fiftieth army hurriedly evacuated with his men. The team was still an organized column at first, but soon spontaneously turned into a loose flat shape.
Seeing the slender Destroyer getting closer and closer, Captain Fifty knew that this was not going to work and he had to find a way. If it were to deal with ordinary pursuers, leaving a small group of rear troops would definitely delay the attack for a while, but now they were chasing the Destroyers. If the rear troops were too small, it would be useless, and if there were too many, the losses would be too great.
The fiftieth captain was not a decisive commander. After hesitating for a moment, the destroyer was getting closer and closer.
His final order was for the ants under his command to disperse in all directions to break out. He himself took the six fastest and strongest worker ants to move - these six worker ants needed to help him, the slowest male ant, move .
What made Captain Fiftieth collapse was that although the pursuing Destroyers also spread out to pursue other warriors, there were still about thirty Destroyers behind him, which was the largest number. Who makes this small group of ants around him currently the largest and most conspicuous among the scattered and fleeing warriors?
However, the Captain did not give up. He knew that there was a small friendly fortified fort an hour ahead. There were three Fifty Ants stationed inside. He could get some cover by escaping in. It would be better than turning back and being attacked without any suspense now. Kill to be strong.
In the end, Captain Fifty left two soldiers behind, which only delayed the pursuers for a few seconds, but these few seconds allowed him to escape narrowly and narrowly.
When approaching the friendly fortified small fortress, the messenger sent earlier had already warned him. The small fortress sent a security force of fifty ants to follow the ant channel pheromones and groped forward, and happened to save him.
The security force and the Destroyer who had been chasing closely were fighting together. The captain of the fiftieth army did not want to run away. He was angry at the embarrassing and humiliating escape, so he ordered the only four remaining warriors around him to join the battle group.
The shock of the battle attracted help from other defenders. Hundreds of soldiers from the base who participated in the battle expelled the Destroyer after paying more than twice the price. The captain of fifty was completely safe, but the other fifty who responded to him The captain died on the battlefield.
Reading with rice balls
So the Captain of Fifty, with the approval of other colleagues, took over the command of the deceased's troops according to the tradition of the marching ants.
Afterwards, more than a hundred soldiers returned to the small fortified fort, and gathered more than two dozen scattered and fleeing troops under the command of the fifty-year-old Nagahara.
They plan to hold on to this small fortified fortress. Although Zhu Jue has proposed that "you can lose the nest but not the ants," this small fortress is a place that the superiors have declared in advance and cannot be abandoned without military orders. The defenders can only organize defense. , wait until the subsequent Destroyer comes to attack.
