Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Second Battle: Accident

According to the protagonist's plan, the Big-Headed Ant Expeditionary Force will form a formation a little further away from the entrance of the secondary nest. After the main force of the paving ant barbarian army left the secondary nest, since they had not yet engaged the big-headed ant army, they could freely arrange a defensive formation. And according to the way the Paving Ant Barbarian Army fought for every inch of land in the previous battle, they are likely to arrange a large defensive position, so that their first line will be more than 20 legions like in the last battle.

This is the purpose of the protagonist, to attract the enemy to throw more forces into the front line. It doesn't matter if the enemy doesn't do what the protagonist wants at first, the protagonist also has a corresponding plan, which will make the legions that come forward to engage fight and retreat at the same time, attracting the Paving Ant Barbarian Army to chase them out, and be forced to extend the length of the battle line.

As long as the Paving Ant Barbarian army is fooled and invests too many troops in the first line, and there are fewer reserves, then the fighters will appear. After all, according to the scale of the last battle, the army that the Paving Ant Barbarian Army put on the ground at one time is only thirty legions, and if there are twenty-five legions on the front line, then the reserve will only have five legions.

The protagonist prepares to let the Legion of the Divine Envoy King, who is on standby in advance in a state of readiness, attack once the fighter is spotted, replacing a first-line legion. The Divine Envoy King's legion will break through the Barbarian Army's formation like a knife cutting butter, and this is the first step.

In the second step, the Public Security Legion and the Western Legion will follow up to protect the flanks of the Divine Envoy King's Legion, which will then need to defeat the enemy's reinforcements.

In the third step, the remaining Big-Headed Ant Army Reserve Legion will follow the Divine Envoy King Legion, follow the breakthrough carved out by the Divine Envoy King Legion in the enemy formation, outflank it from the inner line, and cooperate with the friendly forces on the outer line to surround the first line of the Barbarian Army, block the enemy's retreat path, and finally achieve the battle goal of completely annihilating the first line of the Legion.

The key to this plan was to induce the barbarian army to put more troops into the front line stalemate, and secondly, the god enabled the king's army to complete the task of cutting through the enemy formation. The protagonist is very confident in the two key battles of the Ta CD. He optimistically thought that after completing the plan, it would be best to wipe out all thirty legions of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army at once, about 60,000 ants.

But the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

The Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Force waited for a long time after forming a formation, but did not see a single paving ant come out of the burrow. Only a few hundred paver ants and worker ants that had been active on the ground formed a thin line of defense, guarding the entrance of the secondary nest.

"What's going on?" The protagonist also wondered: "Suspicious tactics? Empty city plan? Showing weakness? He didn't believe that this paving ant barbarian could use such a high-end strategy.

The protagonist decides to continue to be patient and wait. After a while, the protagonist finally sees two or three paving ants crawling out of the secondary nest, one of which is the paving ant king. The protagonist is just about to get excited, thinking that the enemy is finally going to be fooled. Seeing that the paving ant king didn't know what order he had given, all the paving ants on the ground immediately burrowed back into the burrow quickly and orderly.

"Holy!" Only then did the protagonist react, this was not a ploy at all, the enemy just didn't want to fight with the big-headed ant expeditionary force in the wild, and was ready to defend the underground nest with all his heart.

The protagonist has always thought that the commander of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army is a dead brain, and in the last battle, there was nothing to be done in the face of the tactics of the Divine Envoy King Army, and he would only continue to fill it with ant lives. This impression is not wrong, it is true that the IQ of a single ant commander is not enough to improvise in the face of unexpected situations.

However, a heavy rain that lasted for two days not only gave the Paving Ant Barbarian Army a chance to breathe, but also gave the Paving Ant Kings time to hold a few meetings to discuss countermeasures. The kings of several legions who suffered heavy casualties in the face of the Divine Envoy King's legions described in detail the horror of the enemy.

After discussion, these kings did not come up with a way to counter the protagonist's tactics, after all, it is simply impossible to let all the worker ants who are accustomed to the two-dimensional action mode adapt to the three-dimensional action mode, and it is only possible to use the information package as cleverly as the protagonist and decompose the different action strategies of the worker ants and soldier ants, and the kings of the paving ants obviously do not have the thinking ability and logical ability of humans.

But the three stinkers are on top of Zhuge Liang, and although the heroes of these ants have not been able to crack the protagonist's tactics, they have also found the best coping strategy - that is, to defend the underground nest. Since you are strong in the field, I will not fight you in the field, I will wait for you underground.

This kind of tactic, which can be called not a tactic, makes the protagonist a little confused. "Could it be that my gold finger was too big last time, and God can't stand it?" The protagonist can't help but mutter.

Since such a situation has arisen, then the previously planned campaign plan is also nullified. Several of the legion's kings had already sent messengers to inquire, but they were a little overwhelmed by the fact that they were not in the same plan.

Something must be done for these kings at once, this is the protagonist's first thought. After all, his status is equal to all the kings, and there is no supreme command, in case any king has a hot head, and the command of his own army rushes up to get into the sub-nest to fight in the streets, then it will be the same as before, and this is not what the protagonist Suo wants to see. To avoid this, it is necessary to let them cooperate with the command while all the kings are still convinced by the prestige of the Divine Envoy King.

The protagonist immediately orders a large number of worker ant heralds to set off and pass his packets containing orders to all the kings.

The order was simple, each legion left a small number of squads to monitor the nest, and all other squads began to build nests.

Yes, that's right, nesting. This command occurred to the protagonist out of the blue. Nesting, on the one hand, can be used as a defensive position to block the secondary nest to prevent the enemy from breaking through (although there is no precedent in history for the paving ant defenders to break through, but now that the enemy has known how to shrink the defense, maybe one day they will open up again and break through to join the defenders of the other secondary nests), on the other hand, it can also prevent the next time it rains, the army will have to withdraw and run back to the "Grain City" to avoid the rain. It's a win-win-win-win

And in this way, all the legions have something to do, and there is no need to worry about which legion suddenly rushes up and fights blindly.

The nesting plan arranged by the protagonist is to build a circle of base nests about three meters away from the entrance of the secondary nest hole, so that about one-third of the distance between each base nest is about one-third of a meter, and each other is within the observation and support range of the left and right legions.

Since the base nest does not need to hoard grain, it only needs to hold more than a thousand ants, so the scale is not large. In order to prevent rainwater, the base nest is built on slightly higher ground as much as possible, and an earth dam a few centimeters high is built at the entrance and exit to prevent stagnant water from pouring in, and the internal drainage outlet also needs to be dug as deep as possible.

As long as these bases are built, then the expeditionary force will at least be invincible.
