As a coalition of Red Fire Ant warriors and slave auxiliaries climbed the walls, the battle entered a hand-to-hand combat phase.

But the defense line of the Divine Envoy King's army is not so easy to attack - the walls of [Xinyang City] have been increased very high, all made of ant concrete, very strong, and the façade has been specially smoothed, which looks very smooth and difficult to climb.

But no matter how smooth the walls were, they only made it more difficult for the enemy to climb, and it was impossible to prevent them from climbing up little by little.

The enemy gathered under the city walls, like a black-red dark tide spreading over the city walls in reverse, like the night that could not stop swallowing the earth.

The defenders of the Divine Legion waited on the walls as they continued to counterattack with ranged weapons.

The ballistae on the towers began to fire at the climbing enemy troops obliquely, protruding from the towers outside the city walls, providing a good range of side fire.

When a ballista shell hits an enemy on the wall, it will not cause serious damage to the fortified wall, but will also bounce to the ground and cause secondary damage.

Slings are no longer useful, and the rocks and logs hoarded on the walls come into play, and while these weapons are difficult to smash enemy ants with sturdy carapaces, they can also smash enemies who have managed to climb half of them down at once, slowing them down.

Countless enemies gathered under the walls, countless enemies climbed above the walls, countless enemies fell, but more enemies gradually approached the top.

Under the scorching sun of mid-spring, this war entered a new climax.

The first to climb to the top of the city walls were the Warriors of the Forest Ants, who were also half-red warriors who were not as fierce as the Akabi warriors of the Red Fire Ant clan, but they were better at climbing, and their movements on the walls were only slightly affected, and their speed was still very fast.

Thanks to their agility, the Wood Ant Warrior was the first to probe from several locations.

The walls of [Xinyang City] do not have the same battlements as human walls, so it is convenient for ant warriors who are lying on their stomachs to shoot.

But again, the lack of battlements would not provide cover for the defenders in close combat, which would be equally beneficial to the attackers.

As soon as the forest ant warrior showed his head, he collided with the big jaws of the big-headed ant soldiers who were waiting in a dense formation on the city wall. The two sides immediately began to bite, entangle, and wrestle with the big jaw.

At first, it was obvious that the defenders were more dominant, they could form a siege in many against one, and the iron jaw knife could not only easily cut off the opponent's fragile neck, even if it was bitten on a hard head, the tip of the knife could pierce the brain of the forest ant with a single force.

These iron jaws were smelted from iron ore that had just been traded from the Leaf Cutting Ant Country, and the Divine Envoy King's legion finally realized that the entire army was equipped with iron jaws before the battle, which greatly enhanced the combat power. It's just that the iron armor that the protagonist has in mind has not yet had time to be popularized, and it is only equipped for a few squads of legion-level commanders and divine soldier ants.

As more and more forest ants poured in, the oblique fire of the ballista could not stop the enemy, and the defenders finally began to suffer casualties.

The forest ant warriors are also very brave, as long as they bite the Divine Envoy King warriors, they will not let go easily, and some of the first-line warriors continue to kill enemies, and constantly welcome new enemies. The dense formation on the city wall made it difficult for him to turn around, and he couldn't retreat, so he could only fight to the death until he was scarred and knew that he was seriously injured and died.

The black brown ant and the burrowing ant also began to join the hand-to-hand combat, the forest ant, the black brown ant and the burrowing ant each have their own responsible for the attack, in general, the attack direction of the forest ant is the most intense, and the black brown ant is almost a touch of collapse, and soon retreated, and the burrow ant held on for a while and retreated.

Then the defenders were attacked by the warriors of the Red Fire Ants.

The Red Fire Ant Warrior chose a very good direction to break through - the forest ants who were attacking fiercely suddenly dispersed to the left and right flanks to attack, and gave way in the middle, and the Red Fire Ant Warrior killed from this passage.

The defenders of this section of the city wall have been fighting with the forest ants for a long time, and there are some losses, and the soldiers are also very tired.

When the red fire ants approached, the soldiers on the front line saw that the other party was also red, and thought it was still a forest ant. But the Red Fire Ants were clearly more aggressive, and their tactics were more targeted, and the defenders suffered a loss at first.

After the red fire ants intersected with the big jaws of the defender warriors, these red fire ant warriors did not give the defenders a chance to retract the big jaws and cut the carapace, and directly flicked their limbs, and they fell down the city wall with the warriors of the Divine Envoy King.

The walls were full of red fire ants and slave auxiliaries, and the fallen warriors of the god king were immediately besieged and killed.

Relying on such tactics, more than 100 commandos of the Red Fire Ant Army took the lead in opening a small gap, and more Red Fire Ants and Forest Ants were pouring towards this breakthrough.

However, this time the Divine Envoy King's army was very thick, and the nearby teams immediately closed the gap, and the attackers still struggled to advance an inch after occupying a small piece of the ground of the city wall.

Before the critical time, the protagonist is not in a hurry to send out reserves and let the defenders on the front line play.

These recruits and new commanders are doing well so far, withstanding the enemy's offensive, much to the satisfaction of the protagonist.

After such a battle of blood and fire, the protagonist believes that the new legion will grow rapidly.

- I'm the dividing line -

The first wave of the Red Fire Ant Army's offensive finally completely collapsed. The Divine Legion paid more than 300 casualties.

Taking advantage of the enemy's retreat, they quickly cleaned up the corpses on the city walls, and the Divine King's legion rearranged the defensive line, and at the same time transported ammunition to the walls and towers to replenish the consumption just now.

The Red Fire Ant Coalition suffered heavy losses, leaving behind more than 4,000 corpses, and nearly 1,000 wounded soldiers who could not be withdrawn on the battlefield, and were executed on the spot by the small detachments sent by the Divine Messenger King's legion.

More than half of the 1,000 elite warriors of the Red Fire Ant clan were killed or wounded in this offensive, and they were also the culprits who caused the greatest losses to the Divine Envoy King Legion.

The second is forest ants, with nearly 2,000 losses from 3,000 forest ants, and more than half of the casualties. Like the red fire ants, they fought until they ran out of ammunition and food before retreating.

The remaining burrowing ants, black brown ants, and belly ants were much better, adding up to just over a thousand soldiers.

However, after returning to the main formation, the team sent by the Red Fire Ant Army directly slaughtered hundreds of black brown ants and bellied ant soldiers in front of the formation as punishment.

The forest ants that performed well, and the burrowing ants, who chose the tallest among the shorts, were lucky enough to escape punishment.

At this time, it was already noon, but the enemy army was non-stop, and sent another force of about 10,000 to attack.

This wave of enemy troops is comparable to the previous enemy army, and it is also the elite red warrior of the 1,000 red fire ant clan as the supervising team and the main force, accompanied by 3,000 forest ants, 2,000 burrowing ants, 2,000 black brown ants, and 2,000 belly raising ants.

The defenders did not change the front-line troops, but only took a few minutes of respite, and the two sides began to continue to fight in a river of blood!
