With the road, not only is it convenient for the people to travel, for the army, the flat road makes the marching speed up a lot, and the army of nearly 1,000 people rushed from Tongshan City to the port in the south in more than a month.

The arrival of the army did not cause panic among the local population, and after a few days of repairing the port, the soldiers were sent across the river by small boats, and according to the map, they went to the habitat of the giant insects without stopping.

According to the map, it took at least a month to get there from the port, and it was very dangerous to cross the dense jungle, where there were no roads, and all supplies could only be transported by auxiliaries or some soldiers in backpacks.

Although the road is difficult, these difficulties can be overcome by the well-trained Xia army.

The two generals walked in the middle of the team, and from time to time they talked about the surrounding environment, and their expressions were quite relaxed.

Near the harbor are some common beasts, nothing more than dinosaurs or large mammals, which themselves are not taken into account by armies armed to the teeth.

These beasts in the south are still unfamiliar to humans, and in the process of the army's march, there will be wild beasts jumping out to attack humans, but there is only one end, that is, the soldiers have the conditions to improve their food.

After a month of rough trekking through the jungle, the terrain began to get more complicated.

After climbing over a hill, the trees became denser and thicker, and the jungle was filled with fog, which seriously obstructed the soldiers' vision.

Seeing that this place was so weird, General Yang Shu couldn't help but be vigilant, and said to another general, Chen Su: "General Chen, something looks wrong here!" ”

Chen Su nodded and said, "Something is really wrong, since that hillside, I can't even hear the sound of birds here." ”

Yang Shu shouted just in case: "All on alert, auxiliaries inside, soldiers outside, keep the battle formation." ”

Hearing this, the soldiers hurriedly took action, and the auxiliaries took off the soldiers' armor and helped the soldiers quickly put on the armor.

Spent a day carefully in this strange jungle, and at the end of the day, everyone did not see a single animal, which made the soldiers who had game to eat along the way complain, disappointed in this place, and scolded that this is a place where birds don't.

The soldiers nibbled on hard bread, drank boiling water, and rested in the damp jungle for a night of agony.

The cool breeze of the night took away the humidity and heat of the day, but the morning dew wet all the soldiers' clothes, and the soldiers had not taken a bath for months since they left Tongshan City.

The sunlight filtered through the trees, leaving dappled reflections on the ground, and as the sun rose, the jungle became more and more muggy.

Yang Shu licked his thirsty lips and said, "What the hell is this dog's day, why is it hotter than Yancheng." ”

Chen Su smiled and said, "General Yang, maybe we have arrived at the target location, don't those disgusting bugs just like to live here?" ”

Hearing this, Yang Shu nodded and said: "I also feel this way, there is not even a beast here, today we go inside, maybe we can meet those insects, we quickly solve all the miscellaneous things here, I don't want to stay in this place for a day." ”

After cursing the hellish place for a while, the two urged the soldiers to assemble in a group.

The jungle was still silent, unleashing that there were no other animals in the world but this human army.

At this time, Chen Su faintly heard the sound of Sasha, and at first he thought he was hallucinating, but suddenly the sound of Sasha became more and more dense.

Chen Su was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Stop advancing." ”

The corners of Yang Shu's mouth curled: "Dog, I finally met a living thing." ”

He shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Cheer up, don't let these bugs kill you, I will be ashamed of you when the time comes." ”

The soldiers burst out laughing when they heard this, and the tension in the hearts of these recruits couldn't help but be relieved.

The soldiers waited for the battle, listening to the increasingly dense salsa sound, and the weapons in their hands couldn't help but clench a little.

It didn't take long for everyone to finally see what was rushing towards them.

A large group of fist-sized ants appeared in the jungle ahead, and this group of ants held their heads high with their sharp mouthparts, staring at this rare group of flesh and blood in front of them.

"I thought it was some kind of bird, I didn't think it was a group of ants, dogs, let's taste this big ant today, brothers, it's just a group of ants, the grenadiers are out of the ranks, blow them up." Poplar yelled.

"Spearmen cover." Chen Su hurriedly said.

With a clattering clash of armor, one hundred grenadiers lined up under the cover of the spearmen.

The group crawled around as if they were observing the group of prey in front of them, looking for a suitable line of attack.

But with their low intelligence, they don't understand why this group of prey is standing here stupidly, in this jungle, they have not yet met an opponent.

Suddenly, a large black object in the air flew towards the ant colony with sparks, and the group of Mai subconsciously dodged.

But when the fuse burned out, a series of explosions resounded through the jungle.

After the explosion, there was a mess in front of me, and a large area of arm-thick trees fell horizontally, which increased the effect of the explosion due to the dense density of ants.

The ground was littered with the mutilated corpses of ants, and this round of attacks suddenly blew up the ant colony, and the dizzy ant colony squeaked in panic.

The effect of the bombing made Poplar very satisfied, and he killed more than half of the group.

"Just a few insects, they dare to spread wild on the land of my Great Xia, it's just looking for death, grenadiers, continue to blow them up, and blow them all up." Poplar shouted with a smirk.

But this group of ants, who had suffered heavy casualties, as if they did not know what fear was, did not make them take half a step back in the slightest, and after a brief panic, the largest ant, let out a clearly audible hissing sound, and the ant colony gathered at once.

Only this time, the ant colony did not confront the humans and launched a direct attack on the human army.

Seeing this, Chen Su secretly said that the speed of the ant colony crawling was so fast that the grenadiers had no time to ignite the gunpowder, even if it was ignited, detonating the grenade at such a close distance, not only would the ant colony go to the western sky, but they would also be blown away.

In a panic, Chen Su shouted loudly: "The grenadiers retreat, the spearmen come forward, and the sword and shield hands are behind, to meet the enemy." ”

These recruits, who had no battlefield experience, looked at the ant colony rushing towards them with the black pressure squeaking monster, and they were immediately extremely panicked, and when they changed formations, they suddenly did not become a mess, but compared to the training, the swiftness of the clouds seemed to be not the same army.

When Yang Shu saw his army like this, he immediately gritted his teeth with an angry face, and scolded: "Do you want to die, hurry up and line up." ”

When the ant colony example army was still more than a meter, the panicked soldiers were able to finish the formation.

Seeing the soldiers in the front row of the ant colony rushing like a tide, they were already frightened, and the hand holding the spear trembled uncontrollably.

Humans instinctively feel fear in the face of hideous and terrifying-looking insects, and that fear is not even felt in the face of the most ferocious beasts.

"Spearman, kill!" Chen Su yelled.

The soldiers recovered from their panic and stabbed the big ants to death with their spears.

But the colony was so dense that even if most of them were killed in the first round of bombardment, it was estimated that there were hundreds of them left.

The human city wall formed by the soldiers was difficult to block the attack of the ant colony, and some soldiers had three or four big ants strung on their spears, so that the sharp spears lost their stabbing function, and these soldiers had to use the spears in their hands as clubs and began to use them, and smashed Mai who rushed over to the ground one by one.

Chen Su resisted the attack of the ants, his eyes quickly looked at the back of the ant colony, there is a way to shoot people and horses first, capture thieves first capture the king, and then the ant with short wings in the back, Chen Su thinks that it is very likely to be the leader of this ant colony, as long as it is killed, these ant colonies will be leaderless and slaughtered by themselves.

"Archer, aim at that red ant in front of you and kill it." Chen Su yelled.

When Yang Shu heard this, he immediately understood what Chen Su meant, and shouted, "The grenadiers attack together." ”

The soldiers who were hiding behind the spearmen and sword and shield men in charge of long-range attacks were not so stressed, but they were still calm at the moment, and several archers and dozens of grenadiers attacked at the same time.

The whistling feathered arrows flew out towards the queen ant like rain, and under the covering shot, the queen ant could not be dodged, but its hard exoskeleton made the arrow cause very little damage to it, and it could not have the effect of a fatal blow except for a little pain.

The queen struggled to withstand the arrows, but one of the grenades that followed the arrow landed right next to the queen. The sound of the fuse fizzing made it instinctively sense the danger, dragging its bloated belly and preparing to flee from the dangerous thing.

But the fuse burned incredibly quickly, and the rumbling explosion was remembered, and dozens of grenades exploded almost simultaneously.

The deafening roar made Chen Su's eardrums buzz, and the ground under his feet trembled like an earthquake.

The attack of the crowd was stunned by this violent explosion.

And the one that was at the center of the explosion was already dead and turned to ashes.

Without the queen ant, the ant colony suddenly became leaderless and panicked.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Shu and Chen Su ordered the soldiers to attack with all their might.

The spearmen stepped back, and the sword and shield hands stepped forward.

In the face of the panicked ant colony, the human soldiers immediately gained the upper hand, and even threw away the shield on their wrists, and stepped on it vigorously, the sound was as exciting as countless eggshells shattering at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, the human race defeated the ant colony, and the few big ants fled here in panic, and the shouts of killing gradually subsided.

When the battle was over, the soldiers sat on the ground exhausted, only to realize that their clothes had already been washed.

Unloading their heavy helmets, the tired soldiers leaned against each other.

Chen Su gasped and said, "In the battle just now, I feel like I'm back to the time when I was fighting for the fifth department. ”

Yang Shu pouted his lips and said: "It's just a group of disgusting insects, how can it be compared to that battle, how many people died at that time, you look at it now, except for a few soldiers whose hands and feet were asked for a few cuts, there is no." ”

Chen Su shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't look at what weapons we use now, if there is no gunpowder, we don't know how many people will die just now." ”

Speaking of gunpowder, Yang Shu suddenly said with a painful face: "Most of the grenadiers I brought are grenadiers, this grenade is the usual money, and the ones I threw out just now are almost a year's worth of money, used to kill these insects, what a fucking waste." ”

"Don't talk about these useless things, look at those wounded soldiers, this hellish place lacks medical treatment, you brought out the brothers, we have to bring them back alive." Chen Su said slowly.

Poplar nodded, got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his buttocks, walked up to his own soldiers, and checked the condition of the wounded.

The wounded in this battle were all minor, and most of the wounds were in the position of the hands and feet, and there was nothing serious.

The two doctors who accompanied the army, who were familiar with medical skills, carefully cleaned the wounds of the soldiers with alcohol and wrapped the wounds with the clean linen cloth they had prepared.

Seeing that the soldiers were fine, Yang Shu, who was relieved, remembered the panic of the soldiers just now, and suddenly became angry, and roared through gritted teeth: "Stand up for me." ”

The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what nerves their commander was having, they had won the battle, and they didn't know where this anger came from.

"Your performance just now is really bad, that is, you are lucky, you are facing stupid ants, if you meet enemies or dinosaur people, you will be fucking dead, if anyone is in a panic in the future, don't blame me for not thinking about the friendship for many years, it is a man who will show your courage, the big deal is a death, I am afraid of a fart, you are a hero of Great Xia who died in battle, and you were executed by my military law, you also know what the fate is, do you understand it." Poplar roared angrily.

The soldiers shuddered when they heard this, and shouted loudly: "Understood! ”

"Sit down and rest, and the auxiliaries clean up the battlefield." Poplar roared.

When the auxiliaries were cleaning up the ant corpses, Chen Su walked up to Yang Shu and said, "General Yang, most of the brothers are on the battlefield for the first time, and panic is inevitable, so why be so angry." ”

Yang Shu snorted coldly when he heard this: "General Chen, there is only one life, it doesn't matter if you are a recruit on the battlefield or not, you can live longer if you have courage." ”

Hearing this, Chen Su shook his head and smiled, and said no more.
