Chapter 36: Kuroshio (3)
The hostility of the mysterious ants to the paving ants is not limited to the mountains.
Not long after the remnants fled back, and the kings of the main nest of the Paving Ant Barbarian Country had not yet studied how to deal with this new force that appeared not far from the northern border, hundreds of mysterious ants suddenly crossed the border and killed the territory of the Paving Ant Barbarian Country.
It's also a matter of time, and the day when the hunchback ants in the mountains are completely wiped out is the time when the mysterious ants invade in a big way. It's just that the paving ants don't have this awareness yet.
Several fortresses on the border of the Paving Ant Barbarian Kingdom fell in an instant, and all the defenders here could do was send a warning messenger to the rear, and that's it. These forts, which were garrisoned by a certain number of troops and had not been lost in the years of bowback ant raids, fell one after another in just one day.
It also seems to mean that "the sky will change"!
Due to the abnormal changes in the northern mountains, the paving ant army assembled in the north last year has not been disbanded this year until now, which has also given the paving ant barbarian country the ability to fight back for the first time.
After receiving the alarm, the main force of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army in one of the staging areas in the north quickly moved north in an attempt to engage the enemy in a decisive battle.
The army soon found a laughing enemy force outside a newly fallen lair not far away.
This group of enemies is carrying the corpses of the paver ants from the secondary nest of the newly conquered paver ant barbarian country, numbering in the hundreds.
Relying on the numerical superiority, the Paving Ant Barbarian Army launched an attack, but was spotted far away by the mysterious ants who did not send out scouts, and it seemed that this ant also had good eyesight.
The attack did not go as smoothly as the Paving Ant commanders expected, and the Paving Ant army had a numerical advantage, but the small army of the mysterious ants continued to rush left and right, making it difficult for the Paving Ant Barbarian Army to encircle, and it was difficult to exert numerical superiority, and they continued to pay heavy prices on local small battlefields.
At this time, it depends on the ability of the commander. This legion has many experienced veterans, and with the efforts of some commanders and relying on the guidance of scouts, the Paving Ant Barbarian Army finally achieved encirclement after a large area of transfer.
Dozens of legions surrounded the enemy on three and three outside, and it seemed as if the enemy was in danger.
The final general attack was extremely tragic, and the mysterious ants tried to break through from one direction, but were dragged by a large number of fierce paving ants with flesh and blood, and every ant participating in the battle seemed to come from hell, covered with flesh and blood and tissues of the enemy and still fighting endlessly.
The paving ant barbarian army had a numerical advantage of dozens of times, but it still paid more than ten times the casualties before finally annihilating this mysterious ant.
In the end, the paving ants rely on the tactics of climbing on the back of the enemy and biting off the enemy's neck to completely kill these fierce enemies. The joints of these mysterious ants are unusually hard and protected by a translucent hard membrane, making the dismemberment tactics used by the paver ants against the archback ants ineffective.
Even the only weakness of the mysterious ant found so far, the neck, is actually very strong, and the paving ant warrior bites not much on the chitin carapace of the same family. Many Paving Ant Warriors have paid the price of Jaw Collapse to inflict a little damage on their enemies.
The Paving Ant Barbarian Army, which had won their first victory, was not happy for long, and while they were still cleaning up the battlefield, they were suddenly attacked from all directions.
Thousands of mysterious ant warriors silently surrounded from all sides, and then launched a surprise attack. The speed of their assault was almost as fast as the warning of the scouts on the perimeter of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army.
Some of the Paving Ant Scout Warriors tried to block the Mysterious Ant's advance a little bit to buy some time for their comrades in the rear, but they were quickly crushed like mantis arms for carts.
The army of paving ants, who were not in battle formation, were stunned by the surprise attack from all directions, and fell into chaos almost immediately.
The mysterious ants do not like to fight in a neat battle like other ants, but constantly intersperse and attack in small teams of hundreds of people, completely disrupting the enemy and fighting a chaotic battle.
But it has to be said that this kind of chaos is best suited to a large, agile and extremely lethal mysterious ant.
The main force of the Paving Ant Barbarian Nation, which had 60 legions and 150,000 troops, was wiped out in less than half a day under the blows of thousands of enemies.
Although some small groups of remnants led by commanders could escape due to the tactics of the mysterious ants, more than ninety percent of the troops had been completely lost.
This unprecedented defeat of the Paving Ant Barbarian Nation in the past hundreds of years was quickly transmitted by the messengers to all parts of the country, and it also caused an uproar.
Suzaku's troops were fortunate not to be involved in this defeat, but his other main force, which later began to fight the mysterious ants, was repeatedly defeated and retreated.
Eventually, as the Flying Knights of the Legion of the Divine Angel King detected, the Paving Ants quickly lost their northern territory.
The mysterious ants are still increasing their troops, the total number is about tens of thousands, and they are trying to directly attack the main nest of the paving ant barbarian country.
Later, the Paving Ant Barbarian Army relied on the strong defense of the main nest for thousands of years, and paid hundreds of thousands of heavy casualties before forcing back the attack of the mysterious ants.
The protagonists of the later situation all know that the mysterious ants have swept away the indigenous black-headed sour ant and the Japanese black-brown ant tribe outside the east, and launched another attack on the paving ant barbarian country from the north and east in the second year.
- I'm the dividing line -
Even after a year, the Paving Ant Barbarian Army still has no shortage of tactics to counter the mysterious ants.
This kind of ant is too "perfect", it seems that it was born to "slaughter" other ants, and its attack ability, defense ability and coordination ability are almost SSS level.
The paving ants are as slow to adapt as most other ants, and they are still using the tactics they have accumulated over hundreds of years to deal with the bowback ants.
Only a few of the commanders were more open-minded, and they were experimenting with new tactics, but with little success, and some males even risked their own lives in the experiment.
As a disciple of the teacher, Suzaku is one of the few most innovative male ants among the male ants, and he is also good at summing up experience. Based on past examples, Suzaku believed that only by having a hundredfold numerical superiority in the field could he be sure to defeat the enemy.
In the face of tens of thousands of enemies, it is difficult for the Paving Ant Barbarian Nation, which has now lost more than one-fifth of its territory, to piece together a million-level army.
Another feasible way is to rely on favorable defensive facilities, and the Paving Ant Barbarian Army only needs about twenty times the numerical advantage to be able to compete with the enemy.
This is the basis for Suzaku to dare to defend against the enemy in [Purple Leaf Li Castle].
