April 2, fine.

The morning sun was like blowing the horn of battle, and when the white light illuminated the earth, the army of the god envoy king defending the city and the red fire ant army besieging the city all entered the battlefield at this point in time.

On the side of the Divine Messenger King's Legion, the 4th, 5th, and 6th Legions were the first line of troops, the 2nd Legion and the 101st Legion were placed as reserves in the second line behind the city walls, and the 2 legions that participated in the night attack last night were temporarily resting in the lair.

On the side of the Red Fire Ant Army, although they tossed for most of the night in the night attack and smoke attack of the Divine Envoy King Legion, except for the loss of a few hundred Red Fire Ants and slave auxiliaries, they did not hurt their muscles and bones.

Ants have a short sleep time, usually just a few naps, but at night the dark light is blind and easy to move outside the nest. So last night's tossing and turning, and the Red Fire Ant Army did not show any fatigue, and they still came out of the nest in good spirits.

An army of hundreds of thousands of red fire ants could not be put on the battlefield at once - the wall built by the Divine Envoy King's legion across the neck of the peninsula was only a few meters wide, and the battlefield simply did not spread out many troops.

If it weren't for such a geographical advantage, which could greatly limit the attacker's strength advantage, the protagonist would not dare to cage the city and defend 100,000 enemy troops.

The attack force that the Red Fire Ant Army can invest at one time is five or seven thousand soldiers, and at most no more than ten thousand soldiers, otherwise they will crowd and trample on each other, which will backfire and so on.

But the Red Fire Ant Army still pulled all its troops out of the underground camp and lined them all up. When the 100,000 troops lined up, the momentum was still very shocking.

I saw that the Red Fire Ant Army formation was a long fan-shaped east-west, about ten meters long from east to west, and about one meter wide from north to south, spreading out on the mainland in an arc, enclosing the [Xinyangcheng] Peninsula like an iron bucket, and confronting the defenders' defense system across the depression.

The military formation of the Red Fire Ant Army is very distinctive, and different ant tribes have different carapace colors, each of which is arrayed, which is distinct.

Those who have bright red on the front half of their bodies and dark on the back half of their bodies in the sun are the fierce warriors of the Red Fire Ant clan, and they make up half of the army.

The elite military formation of the Red Fire Ant clan is divided into three parts, about 35 in the center of all the military formations, a large area of red Tongtong, quite like the elite Red Warriors, this is their middle army.

The remaining 25 were divided into two parts, on the very sides of the formation, and it seemed that they were pressing the formation, which was the left army and the right army.

The warriors who were sandwiched between the two pieces in the middle by the Chinese army and the red fire ant army formation on both wings were the slave auxiliaries of various tribes, and their formations were not so strict, which showed that their combat effectiveness was inferior to that of the red fire ants.

All the slave ants divided their troops into two parts, one on the left and one on the right, and each ant tribe was grouped together, slightly separated from the others.

In the slave auxiliary array, those who are dull and dull, and whose body size is generally slightly larger than the large-headed ant soldier ants, but slightly smaller than the large warriors of the red fire ants, are the burrowing ant warriors.

Burrowing ants are mainly engaged in logistical work such as nesting and foraging in the Red Fire Ant Army, and they also participate in the battle as cannon fodder, and their underdeveloped jaws are their only weapons.

The size and color of the forest ant warriors are very similar to the red fire ants, and they are the Chinese red forest ants. If you look closely, there is still a difference between them and the red fire ants, the heads of the forest ants are more similar to the rounded type, unlike the red fire ants are peach-hearted, and the only weapon of the forest ants is the large jaw, which is far less stout and developed than the red fire ants, and there are no stingers.

In addition, there are two body types of forest ant warriors, and the difference in body size between large and small worker ants is only 1mm, which is not a big difference. The size of the red fire ant and the body length of the warrior can be nearly doubled.

Forest ants are excellent jungle warriors, according to the "old heart", when the Red Fire Ant Army attacked the Leafcutter Ant Country, the Red Fire Ant Warriors were mainly responsible for the ground attack, and the forest ants and other ant slave auxiliaries mainly attacked on the trees and cooperated with each other.

The Japanese black brown ant warriors are all black, and if the red fire ant and the forest ant are the red samurai, then the black brown ant is the black armor samurai. These black brown ants are close in size to burrowing ants, and they are also one size larger than large-headed worker ants.

The protagonist has come into contact with the black brown ant tribe on the north bank of the Great River in his homeland, and knows that these black brown ants have a relatively burly body, but in fact, they only have a large jaw, and they are loosely organized, and their will to fight is also weak. Even the equally timid belly-raising ants expressed their disdain for the fighting power of the black-brown ants.

However, the black brown ant is also relatively adapted to forest warfare, and has a good ability to hunt in the trees, which has a place in the red fire ant army.

Finally, there are belly ants, they are genetically related to the "old heart" of the same race, but at this moment, the two sides belong to different camps, and they are about to meet each other. Both sides are Osaka bellied ants, and their body colors are red to brownish, and they look golden in the sun, which is very beautiful.

The warriors of the other ant tribes of the Red Fire Ant Army are generally larger than the Big-headed Ant Soldier Ants, and only the Bell-Raising Ant Warrior is the only one smaller than the Big-headed Ant Soldier Ant.

These pocket warriors are not very effective in the Red Fire Ant Army, but they are indispensable because they are the only class of Red Fire Ants in the country with long-range attack methods.

- I'm the dividing line -

The Red Fire Ant Army is clearly formed, shining with red, black and gold light, and looks well-armored and well-organized.

However, after the victory of the Divine King's army in the night attack last night, and under the repeated encouragement of the protagonist, the morale of the commanders is also high.

After the army of red fire ants was assembled, it finally began to move. They divided a force of about 10,000 and began to climb into the hollow, approaching [Xinyang City].

The number of the enemy's first wave of troops was only one-tenth of the total strength, and there were only a thousand elites of the Red Fire Ant clan, and the rest were slave auxiliaries of various clans, apparently coming to attack tentatively.

However, the defenders on the first line of the Divine Envoy King's army were only three-quarters of the enemy's first wave of troops, and many of them were still new recruits, and they couldn't hold their armpits and still conduct defensive operations normally.

The Flying Knights in the air did not participate in the defense, but only constantly circled and monitored to prevent the enemy from having surprise ambushes.

However, now it is a home battle, the protagonist stands on a high lookout, the enemy formation and movement are in full view, at a glance, and the reconnaissance role of the flying knights is not as prominent as in the field.

When the Red Fire Ant Vanguard crawls out of the hollow and moves forward for some distance, it enters the ballista range.

This time, the Red Fire Ant Striker launched a full-line attack on the front wall of the entire [Xinyang City], but they were also exposed to the fire of all 8 towers and 16 ballistas after the front line was encrypted.

These ballistae are operated by a special ballista squad, which has been trained for several days.

With the first round of ballista salvos setting off a wave of flesh and blood in the Red Fire Ant Army, this battle has officially begun!
