The abnormal sound at the beginning only made the Destroyer alert. In addition to ants, other insects may also make similar noises. Although the Destroyer is alert, it is impossible to react positively to any disturbance. If there is no abnormality after waiting for a while, these Destroyers will The patient will continue to drink water according to the established procedure and then leave.
But when the stone fell to the ground and exploded, the Destroyer immediately reacted - the only ones who could possess this kind of weapon were the troops of the Angel King's Legion - the guerrillas!
Although the explosive sling sounds very much like the grenade in human civilization, in fact, the actual damage is not high because the charge is not large enough. The prefabricated fragments of explosive slings used to deal with ordinary ants are even difficult to break through the thick armor of Destroyers, so this time the guerrillas used special explosive bombs aimed at Destroyers, which would only explode four larger fragments. Penetrate the weak points in the Destroyer's carapace.
More than a dozen explosive slings caused one death and five injuries among the Destroyers. By chance, the dead Destroyer was hit by fragments in the gap in the carapace of the neck, directly severing the main nerve. Other injured Destroyers are still able to fight, even more ferociously than before their injuries.
[In view of the general environment,
This round of throwing alarmed the destroyers. They would never panic because of a sudden blow, but like a wasp whose nest was alarmed, they would sting them hard no matter who the enemy ants were. With extremely fast reaction speed, more than thirty Destroyers immediately approached the location where the noise had just been made.
And although the Destroyers reacted passively, during the counterattack, they moved quickly and the formation quickly took shape. Even though it seemed messy, a horizontally unfolding battle formation was quickly formed that was beginning to take shape!
At this time, "Under the Tree" no longer needed to consider concealment. He used a sharp scratching sound and a pungent smell to send orders to his subordinates, asking the melee infantry to arrange their formations for defense and wait for the order to attack.
Soon, a dense crackling sound came from the rock wall, and the guns and cannons above fired! However, since there was no guidance from the flying knight, these firearms basically followed the information of the silver ants who sent the order, and fired at the approximate location of the water pool at the bottom of the mountain. The Destroyer had already left the waterside, so even if the cannons were fired with shotgun shells that covered the range, Most of the guns and shells missed.
Only the left wing of the Destroyer has been affected. The power of the gun and cannon is far beyond that of the explosive sling. It can even penetrate the thick armor of beetles and other ferocious insects at medium distances. Now it has the advantage of condescending potential energy. Once the Destroyer Being hit often resulted in half of the body being smashed into pieces. This time, four of the Destroyers were either dead or maimed.
It's now!
"Under the tree" I shouted silently in my heart, and the rapid friction sound urged my subordinates to advance. The melee infantrymen who had already formed their formation swarmed forward!
Unlike the regular field legions of the Angel King Legion, which were accustomed to forming dense fronts, the guerrillas' melee infantry mostly operated in squads of 10 ants, with each squad having five squads under its jurisdiction. When engaging the Destroyer, each team will assign 6 warriors to restrain the Destroyer's movements by pulling its limbs, while other warriors take the opportunity to cause damage.
If the melee force can achieve a 10:1 or higher ratio with the Destroyer, this tactic is very effective and can end the battle with losses as low as 1:1. However, since Destroyers mostly operate in groups of 20-50, and once the guerrillas gather a large force, they are easily discovered by flying Destroyers. Therefore, in most battles initiated by the guerrillas, the strength of both sides The ratio is only 6-7 to 1, and the battle loss ratio will soar to 3 to 1, which means that half of the guerrillas participating in the war may be sacrificed.
Such high battle losses are still acceptable to the guerrillas. After all, in this region, the least valuable thing is ant life.
Although "Under the Tree" only brought two squads of melee infantry this time, they were all elites directly under the deputy governor. Their combat effectiveness was two or three times that of ordinary guerrillas, and there was also a very scarce but powerful beetle unit. Therefore, although the current long-range firepower has not played a sufficient role, the tactics used properly are enough to defeat the destroyer in front of them. "Under the Tree" was fully prepared to ensure victory in the first battle.
These directly affiliated elite soldiers are not only proficient in the guerrilla tactics
He is also familiar with the battles of the regular army. Now facing the Destroyer, the regular troops of the Angel King's Legion, while maintaining stability on the front line, have also begun to learn from the tactics of the guerrillas to increase their lethality.
So facing the charge of the remaining Destroyers, the only melee team led by "Shuxia" used a dense horizontal formation to offset its impact, and then the formation gradually retreated into an arc under the pressure. Relying on the support of the formation under the brute force of his sharp jaws, he does not seek to kill the enemy, but only seeks to defend and contain it.
According to "Under the Tree"'s plan, the melee team ambushing on the other side will soon find its trace and enter the battlefield, and the Destroyer will have to split his forces to fight. At this time, he threw in the elite Green Infantry Assault Team from the flank. One swift assault was enough to rush the Destroyers into chaos. Then, he used siege and division tactics in the chaos to completely annihilate this group of Destroyers.
However, the frontal battle lasted twice as long as expected, but the melee team ambushing behind them did not appear for a long time. It is not known whether they were lost or did not receive new orders at all, or for other reasons.
Seeing that the melee team holding the line was crumbling, with casualties reaching a quarter, "Shuxia" continued to send out messengers to look for reinforcements, and had no choice but to order the green infantry knights who had already retreated to their positions to attack.
10 green infantry armors lined up and charged forward in column. The small open battlefield beside the water pool was very suitable for them to take advantage of their speed. The green figure was as fast as a breeze, and it was like a strong wind when it swept through the Destroyer team. The Destroyers were immediately stunned by this strange wind. Nearly 10 Destroyers were killed or injured by the green walking armor's mouthparts and trampling.
However, the Green Walkers failed to penetrate the defense line constructed by the other Destroyers who reacted quickly. The Destroyers did not hesitate to force the Green Walkers to slow down by pushing against them. The Destroyers on the sides took the opportunity to jump on the Green Walkers' backs or bite them. Its limbs. After their speed was slowed down, the Green Step Armor team was forced to turn around and try to escape from the unfavorable melee. However, a few Destroyers had already taken advantage of the chaos to climb onto the back of the Green Step Armor and fought with the knights guarding the Green Step Armor.
Fortunately, the Destroyers were unable to kill all the Green Armor knights for a while. After the Green Armor squad left the battlefield, the knights immediately covered each other and killed a small number of invading Destroyers, but they also lost a dozen knights themselves. , and another Green Infantry Armor was injured and separated from the command and disappeared.
The battlefield is extremely chaotic and the situation is still unclear!
