The main force of the Destroyers obviously does not intend to continue wasting time here. Even though the radar destroyers have not yet sensed the pursuit of the brigade, they know that the main force of the Maolin Ant Army is behind them. The Radar Destroyers had already calculated and were not prepared to start a decisive battle here. Their previous series of actions had clear goals. "Water Apricot" guessed that they were going to break into the main nest circle. Although this guess was not entirely correct, it was not far from the truth!鑑
Therefore, after the rapid march, the Destroyer did not have a moment to breathe, and the Radar Destroyer was immediately thrown into the battle. While filling the canal, he directly crossed the water to launch an attack.
The Maulin Ant defenders set up formations by the canal to stop the enemy. After spending half an hour, the Destroyers successfully broke through the obstacle of the flowing water and built the first ferry bridge on the other side, followed by the second and third bridges. seat.
A vanguard force composed of several hundred Destroyers stormed the beach, dispersed the slaves digging here, and then charged towards the defenders' lines in a menacing manner. Seeing that the canal defense line was no longer effective, the Maolin ant defenders only resisted slightly and then retreated, but they maintained the integrity and stability of the front very well.
The fighting time thereafter was consumed by the Destroyer's constant oppression and the defenders' retreat step by step, leaving a line of corpses along the way.
A few more hours later, it was noon when the sun appeared. At this time, the destroyers had filled in about half of the width of the canal, but gave up filling the river because the capacity of the completed pontoon bridge was enough for the army.
About one-third of the Destroyers had already crossed the canal, forcing the defenders on the opposite side back five or six meters and getting closer to [Taojiao City]. Fortunately, the line of the Maulin Ant defenders was still roughly intact. The front of the narrow land bridge battlefield could not accommodate too many troops. The defenders were able to deploy very thickly in depth, which also allowed several sharp breakthroughs by the Destroyers to be repelled.
The step-by-step retreat that had been going on all along was within the defender's plan. After all, being stuck on the front line would cost more in casualties and time. The Destroyer's short depth also made it easier to rotate front-line troops. By lengthening the distance between the Destroyer's front and rear troops, a large number of its troops are blocked on long road bridges. Soon its front-line troops will be exhausted, but it will be difficult for the follow-up troops to move forward for reinforcements. This is exactly the mature experience of the Maolin Ant Army, which is good at fighting in swamp terrain!鑑
However, there is a bottom line for retreat. Once the army retreats into the open land near Taojiao City, the battlefield area will increase sharply, and the defenders' defense line will be forced to be greatly lengthened. This will undoubtedly increase the pressure on the defenders. Therefore, the commander of this army, the temporary commander who was just appointed by "Shui Xing" yesterday, ordered the troops not to retreat any further and to hold on to the narrow road bridge.
On the rugged and intertwined fronts, the front-line troops of the Destroyers and the line-filling troops of warriors from all races of the Maolin Ant Army were consuming each other at a speed that was extremely cruel but the data was very consistent with mathematical laws. The exchange ratio between the two sides was close to one to thirty at the beginning, but as the Maolin Ant Army's strategy took effect, the Destroyer's forward and backward rotation was slow, and the front line was filled with Destroyer individuals whose energy had declined but could not retreat, and the exchange ratio between the two sides gradually dropped to one. More than a dozen.
Even though one Destroyer seemed to be still killing everyone, with the nearly endless reserve team of hairy forest ants, the battle line was never broken, and the Destroyer could hardly move forward. After all, the battlefield is so wide. The Destroyer can cripple a slave legion in even ten minutes, but there are dozens of legions behind the Maolin Ant Army that can attack at any time. The Maolin Ant Army is using a large number of slave legions to consume the Destroyer's offensive and time. As long as it delays the arrival of the "Water Apricot" army, it will be a strategic victory!
The corpses piled higher and higher, gradually forming a hill a few centimeters high on the land bridge. Soldiers from both sides climbed on the corpse mountain to continue fighting, and continued to raise the terrain. There were many corpses, trampled, entangled, pushed, and collided by thousands of ants, and they continued to roll down and into the water on both sides of the land bridge. Soon, a sea of bones was spread on the adjacent water surface.
At first, the Destroyer just stepped on these corpses and entered the water, hoping to expand the frontal front. The Maolin Ant Army also reacted immediately and sent troops who were good at water warfare to step onto the water to compete for this newly opened battlefield. In the rolling waves, the Destroyer who stepped on the corpses and the warriors of the hairy forest ants floating on the water under the tension of the water film started a fight that was similar to a land battle but completely different.
The warrior ants are adept at water fighting, and can move freely between the ups and downs of waves and the advance and retreat of waves.
It can move and make various tactical moves, but on the other hand, the Destroyer has no strength and sharp teeth. It can only hold the floating corpse to keep it afloat, and it is completely useless.
Therefore, although the number of elite soldiers of the Maolin Ant tribe participating in the battle was only equal to that of the Destroyers who entered the water, they completed the counter-encirclement on the front line, and constantly seized the Destroyers' weaknesses, dragging them out one by one, forcing them under the water and drowning.鑑
But soon, Radar Destroyer made targeted adjustments.
Seeing that the ground battlefield was blocked by the mountain of corpses and it was difficult to advance an inch, and the water battle was at a disadvantage, the Destroyer once again resorted to the "Floating Bridge" tactic. Those idle Destroyers in the rear who were unable to join the battle on the front line began to build pontoons along the shore of the land bridge, and then the rear team swarmed up and interspersed along the shore, trying to outflank the Maolin Ant warriors on the water.
Seeing the sudden increase in the number of Destroyers, the Maulin Ant warriors led their troops to retreat in fear of their lives. The temporary commander of the garrison had never encountered such a situation. He was too late and hurriedly sent out messengers to ask the troops to hold on while asking for strategies.
But before he could react, the Destroyer had already taken control of the water near the land bridge, and instead of rushing ashore, he continued to extend the pontoon bridge forward. The Maolin Ant defenders also had to set up defenses step by step along both sides of the land bridge to meet the landing attack that the Destroyer would launch at any time!
Soon, the commanders of the Maulin ant defenders finally understood the Destroyer's tactics. The Destroyer actually penetrated the root of the land bridge along the waterway. Once the opponent cut off this point, the Maulin ant defenders would be defeated. Blocked on the long and narrow land bridge, unable to advance or retreat, they fell into a dead end!
The temporary commander of the Maolin Ant garrison woke up from his dream and hurriedly ordered all his elite soldiers to enter the water and cut off the Destroyer's narrow pontoon bridge. But only a few of the legions around him heard the order.
More legions have fallen into chaos, because the Destroyer penetrated right in front of the commanders' compound eyes. The horrified commanders who woke up, and even the legions under their command, began to retreat crazily in an attempt to escape!鑑
The collapse happened almost instantly!
