Chapter Sixty-Six: Divine Envoy King Legion, Attack!
In this way, relying on the tactics of the protagonist, the front-line troops of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army on this front were instantly wiped out as if they had been burned by flames. And the second-line troops were still a few centimeters away and did not react.
The allies behind the palace were stunned for a moment, but they quickly remembered that the last order they received was to retreat, but they were entangled by the enemy and could not get out. As a result, the Queen's army quickly retreated from both sides of the Divine Envoy King's legion, suffering only minor losses.
Now that there are finally no friendly forces, the protagonist can leave the battlefield to his subordinates who have mastered their own tactics. That little success just now also gave the protagonist a lot of confidence.
He immediately ordered the whole legion to carry out the original tactical plan - the army of the Divine Messenger King, attack.
I saw that the first line formed by the worker ants quickly moved forward, surpassing the second line of the soldier ants, and the soldiers and ants then followed the first line forward. This is only a formation composed of all the soldier ants and some worker ants of the eight squads, but it is like a Macedonian phalanx, which makes the enemy daunting. The following squads also followed, ready to fill the gap or extend the stretched front at any time.
When the close formation of the front-line worker ants crossed the first-line army of the paving ants that had just been slaughtered, the second-line troops of the paving ant barbarian army finally reacted and quickly pounced to make up for the gap.
Although the IQ of the worker ants of the paving ants is low, the IQ of the king who commands them is online, but the first row of soldiers was all wiped out in an instant just now, which gave the commander a great shock, and it was not until the big-headed ant army approached that these commanders remembered to block the second-line troops.
This kind of fuel-like support is a futile struggle in the face of the Divine Messenger King's legion.
The formation method of the paving ant barbarian army is similar to that of the big-headed ant army, and a small team is also a king commanding fifty worker ants (paving ants do not have full-time soldier ants), if there are more than fifty, the king is easy to command and difficult. However, the size of the legion of the paving ant barbarian is larger than that of the big-headed ant legion, and a king in a legion can command 40 squads, with a total strength of more than 2,000 ants.
The front of the big-headed ant brigade can generally line up 11-12 ants, while the paving ant barbarian army can line up 12-13 ants on the front because there are no larger soldier ants. The protagonist has 15 worker ants densely arranged in front of his team, and these worker ants don't even have room to turn around, if it is a normal one-on-one fight, it may weaken the individual combat effectiveness of the worker ants. But under this tactic of the protagonist, as long as the worker ants of the big-headed ant can contain the front-line troops on the opposite side, the density is greater than that of the opponent to ensure that all the troops on the opponent's front line are contained by at least one big-headed ant worker ant. Then, suddenly rushing to the first row, the condescending big-headed ant soldier ants can use their big claws to harvest the lives of the paving ants and worker ants that have been restrained. After the slaughter, the soldiers retreated to the rear of the worker ant line.
The paving ants in the second row had been slaughtered in just three or four seconds. In this way, at this point, the few squads at the forefront of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army have lost about half of their troops, and they have reached the point where they should retreat.
As is customary, the kings of these paving ant barbarian army squads sent another group of worker ants to fill the battle line, and they were also in charge of the rear of the palace, buying time for the commanders' retreat. If it had been placed in the past, these palace troops would have been able to delay for at least ten minutes or more, enough for the kings of the squad to retreat to safety with the remaining troops.
But this time, this tactic completely failed. The worker ants who were rapidly advancing the battle line only crossed a decimeter distance after only four seconds and met the paving ant army behind the palace, and then less than five seconds later, this palace army was also killed. At this time, the retreating paving ant barbarian army team had not yet been able to complete the handover with the team that took over the battle line.
Of course, the protagonist, who is familiar with the (real-time) strategy (game) command, will not let go of this opportunity, and he immediately ordered the Divine Envoy King's army to pursue, and the worker ants on the front line quickly pressed forward, and soon exchanged fire with the two parts of the retreating and replacing teams in the Paving Ant Barbarian Army at the same time. This completely disrupted the normal rotation order of the Paving Ant Army, and the squad that should have retreated had to reflexively fight with the enemy troops who caught up, and because the retreating squad was oppressed and the supporting squad were intertwined, it seriously affected the commander's command efficiency.
The scattered paving ant front was not the opponent of the Divine Envoy King Legion, which was ready for battle and had a clear division of labor, and quickly dropped a large number of corpses and retreated again and again. And the soldiers of the Divine Envoy King's legion, who are becoming more and more proficient in tactical movements, are becoming more and more efficient and resolute in carrying out simple and swift slaughter actions.
Only ten minutes after the Divine Envoy King Legion entered the battle, the Paving Ant Legion in front of them was almost completely wiped out, except for the king of this legion who fled with a small number of troops, a large number of Paving Ant Kings died in the battlefield, and the legion of more than 2,000 ants survived in less than three digits. The Paving Ant Legion didn't even bother to send out the messengers who were customary to ask for a replacement from the rear reserves.
The Divine King's legion quickly broke through the frontal area, but the battle lines of the friendly forces on its left and right sides remained largely in place. The Divine Envoy King's Legion has formed a salient on the front of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, and in order to prevent his own legion from being attacked on the flank, in addition to the eight squads advancing head-on, the protagonist can only throw sixteen more squads into the left and right flanks, and advance according to the same tactics. Among them, the command protagonist of the left detachment was entrusted to Rambo Fei, with Rambo Wan as his deputy; The main conductor of the detachment on the right is appointed to roll, and the deputy is Rambo Fo. However, in this way, there are only eight squads left in the reserve team that can be used by the protagonist's side.
Therefore, the protagonist simply stopped the advance of the first line, and swapped the eight squads of the reserve team with the eight squads that had been fighting on the front line. The losses of the eight squads that were withdrawn were unusually slight, and there were not even dead ants, much to the delight of the protagonist. Although the protagonist's tactics only need to send a message packet for the soldier ants and worker ants to master, these ants can only exert 100% of the power of the tactics after they have gained enough proficiency through their own execution. These veterans who have just been withdrawn have already mastered tactics in actual combat, and their combat effectiveness is far better than that of new recruits who have just come into contact with tactics. Since the opposing Paving Ant Barbarian Army has no resistance to this tactic, the protagonist wants all the squads to go to the front line to take turns fighting.
Although the frontal advance was suspended, the two detachments on the left and right quickly launched a fierce attack from the flank, destroying the resistance of the friendly legions on the left and the paving ant legions on the front of the public security legions on the right. However, Rambo Fei and Roll lacked the protagonist's overly rich (real-time) strategy (game) command experience, and failed to decisively accelerate the advance when the Paving Ant Legion was in a mess, allowing the two legions to retain a part of their living forces and successfully escape, and sent a messenger for help.
The reserve of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army near the entrance of the Auxiliary Nest had ten legions, and the kings of these legions had already learned from the remnants of the defeated soldiers that the battle line had been rapidly broken through.
Although they could not understand why this situation had occurred, they took a series of countermeasures according to their instincts.
