Chapter 107: Northern War Situation (7)

The battlefield chosen by the public security king just cut off the route of the reinforcements of the paving ant barbarian army.

Moreover, this low hill is the only commanding height in the nearby gentle terrain, and it is also the only open land with relatively sparse vegetation.

Despite their small size, ants are also very capable of climbing and can cross almost any terrain obstacle.

However, the march of a large army is different from the movement of a single ant, and only a relatively open and flat road can allow the large army to advance at a higher speed, and at the same time play a role in maintaining the formation and saving physical strength and time.

If the reinforcements of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army don't want to entangle themselves in the grass and make their queue fragmented, they can only choose a few flat paths.

And the king of public security led his army to suddenly appear and occupy this low hill, cutting this natural march route in two.

What's worse is that if the Paving Ant Barbarian Army wants to withdraw to the departure base in time before dusk and stay overnight without detouring, it will inevitably need to pass through this place.

If this place is cut off, not only will the paving ant barbarian army on the front line lose reinforcements, but it will even be cut off from the way back, and if you can't make a detour in time, you can only risk spending the night in the wilderness.

The public security king's move was to adopt the protagonist's suggestion, relying on the reconnaissance of the flying knight, and hit the seven inches of the paving ant barbarian army.

Due to the suddenness of the crowd of the Public Security Lords, they made a big detour back to the flank, so they managed to avoid the scouts of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army.

The soldiers of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, which were arranged in a thin marching column, did not even have time to assemble their ranks and spread their formations, and they were scattered and defeated in an instant.

Subsequently, the public security king did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but immediately organized troops on the low hill to establish a circular defensive position, ready for the next fierce battle.

The soldiers of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, who had dispersed, quickly transmitted the information about the attack on this place in all directions.

Several legions of paving ant barbarian armies that were rushing to the front line were the first to react, and they stopped continuing to advance, and began to gather and gather forces near the cluster of the public security kings, intending to launch an offensive.

Seeing that the enemy's speed of gathering troops was not fast, and there were not many troops that had already been assembled, the king of public security felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Therefore, the public security king led the legions directly under him, as well as several other legions with strong combat effectiveness, grasped the fleeting opportunity, and took the lead in launching an attack when the paving ant barbarian army was not firmly established and the assembly was not completed.

The legion directly under the King of Public Security has fought beside the protagonist's Divine Envoy King Legion, has carried out military reforms, and is good at using the originally scattered soldier ant warriors to form fists, and is one of the few main nest legions that has mastered this tactic.

And several other legions that coordinated the attack, some of them also learned this tactic, and some of them were the leaders of traditional tactics, and their combat effectiveness was not weak.

On the other hand, on the part of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, the troops that are being assembled are all second-rate troops, so they have not been selected as the forward troops, and their commanders are also inexperienced, so they will swagger under the nose of the enemy to make pre-battle preparations and lack of defense.

And the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom will not wait for the enemy to be ready.

The public security king led these corps to wait for work and be prepared for an unprepared attack, and quickly broke into the assembled enemy formation.

These enemy troops were all in an offensive formation, and the depth of the formation was not deep, and after failing to withstand the first wave of advance, the thin front was quickly broken through, and countless gaps of large and small appeared.

As the formation shattered, the commanders of these paving ant barbarian armies led their troops to retreat.

The public security king did not lead his army to pursue too far, but immediately returned to strengthen the defense.

In this way, the first spontaneous counterattack of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army was defeated.

Subsequently, more and more reinforcements came from the departure base of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, after all, there were less than fifty Pave Ant Barbarian Army legions that arrived at the front line, and half of the legions did not set off near the departure base.

From the departure base to the defensive position of the public security king, it took less than an hour for the paving ant barbarian army, which sensed that the situation was not good, began to deploy troops, wanting to eat the northern expeditionary army cluster of the big-headed ant kingdom.

In fact, there are many paths from the starting base to the front line, and the Paving Ant Barbarian Army can also choose to take a long detour to continue to the front line.

However, an elite number of enemy troops stuck at key points on the road can not only cut off the road, but also threaten the marching teams on other routes at any time.

Without destroying or expelling this enemy force, no mature commander would dare to risk being attacked at any moment.

This army is an existing force, and as long as it exists, it will make the enemy very uncomfortable and unable to sleep and eat.

Historically, after the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's army returned to the north, leaving the general Cao Ren to lead the elite to defend Jiangling, and Lejin, Manzhong and other troops were in Nanyang as backup.

The Sun-Liu coalition wanted to capture Gangneung. In addition to Zhou Yu leading the main force of Jiangdong to attack the city with all their might, the armies of Liu Bei and Guan Yu cruised on both sides of the Han River, not in a hurry to fight, and always maintained their existence.

Since the Hanshui River Valley is the main transportation route from Nanyang to Jiangling, the tactical significance of Liu Bei and Guan Yu's army is that as a typical existence force, as long as they are there, Cao Cao's army in Nanyang will not be able to safely go south to support Jiangling.

At the same time, Liu Guan's two armies supported each other, and Cao's army not only could not grasp the main forces of the two armies, but even if there were fighters, they did not dare to attack with all their strength, for fear that the other army would attack from behind.

In the end, Cao Ren, who was worried about the cutting off of the back road, was forced to abandon Jiangling, and the Sun-Liu coalition army achieved its strategic goal.

Now, although the public security king is a lone army, the significance of being an existing force is still there.

- I'm the dividing line -

The paving ant barbarian army gathered more and more, and at the beginning, the public security king also took the initiative to lead the army to attack several times, defeating the enemy in front of him and slowing down the enemy's assembly speed.

However, as the number of enemy troops increases, the risk of taking the initiative increases, and if you are not careful, you may be dragged by the enemy, and then surrounded and eaten.

Therefore, after realizing that the enemy's assembled forces had reached twenty legions, equal to his own, the public security king stopped taking the initiative.

At this time, the paving ant barbarian army also stopped gathering.

After all, although the Paving Ant Barbarian Army is numerous, there are fifty legions already fighting on the front line, and some legions are not ready, and it is not easy to assemble these twenty legions in a short period of time.

It will take more time to further enrich the forces. And as it gets late, the paving ant barbarian army who are eager to open up the communication line has not enough time.

As a result, the assembled Paving Ant Barbarian Army began to move forward, ready to attack.
