Chapter 138: The Battle of [Bridgehead] (4)

A good army should be able to carry out orders and prohibitions, and the commander should be able to command each unit like an arm, and the whole army should be like a single person, coordinated, without internal constraints and attrition.

However, this is an idealized army, and it is almost difficult for any army to do this, and the good and evil of human nature, the conflict of interests, and the smooth communication will all affect the relationship and cooperation between different troops.

Even if it's an ant who is known for collectivism, even in the Legion of the Divine Envoy King, who has the protagonist's authority high, the protagonist often feels uncomfortable when commanding.

For example, the commanders below could not accurately understand their meanings, and the heralds did not arrive in time, etc., which would cause delays and mistakes on the fighters.

So there is a famous saying in the military: the winning side is the one who makes fewer mistakes.

However, when it was too late for the Destroyers to give up attacking [the bridgehead], they were unanimous and unobtrusive.

This makes the protagonist's evaluation of him go up a notch.

From the beginning when I observed that the opponent's formation was messy, there was a hint of contempt, to the attention that I paid more attention to the enemy after discovering that I was good at adapting, and then to the present. The protagonist has a high opinion of the Destroyer's troops.

In addition to the formation, the Destroyer's army has all the qualities of a good army: strong individual combat, excellent adaptability, smooth and highly obedient command.

The protagonist also observes the unnoticeable commander in the opposing formation, perhaps this is an evolution to prevent decapitation tactics!

He was not suspicious, after all, there was not much difference in the appearance of different ant species of some ant species, and the Destroyer ant was not an isolated case.

In the evening, the protagonist with several corps commanders and ballista squad commanders summed up the experience of today's short battle and revised the battle plan.

Everyone knows that tomorrow is the real big battle.

- I'm the dividing line -

Yesterday evening, during the Destroyer's vanguard tentative assault on the [Bridgehead], the protagonist also observed that enemy troops were still coming from the rear.

After dark, the noise in the direction of the enemy's camping is lessened, and they also need to rest at night.

And the next day, just after dawn, troops began to arrive in the direction of the enemy, and finally converged.

There are tens of thousands of people, boundless.

Although there were not yet 10,000 destroyers on the other side, they also looked like they were all in a daze. Moreover, it seems to be more deterrent than the larger number of other ants.

The enemy had begun to assemble, and although the Destroyers had spent the night camping in the cold of late autumn, they could only shelter under the dead branches and leaves, but they seemed to be unaffected and still began to assemble in good spirits.

The defenders, who were resting in the warm [bridgehead], also began to prepare for battle, the ballista squads were in position, Rambovo II led the 13th Legion to the second line of defense, the flying knights took off first, and then the defenders temporarily closed the entrance and exit of the protective net.

The protagonist also arrives at the monitoring room at the top of the anthill, which was built to house the captured antennae of the radar destroyer that can listen to sounds. Because the location is the highest, it is also suitable as an observation deck.

As the sun rises completely above the horizon, it passes over the distant hills and woods, revealing its mellow form to the earth without reservation, radiating light and heat.

The Destroyer forces seemed to be ordered to move at the same time in an instant.

Yesterday, the swarm action of hundreds of Destroyers was already quite powerful, and today, as soon as thousands of Destroyers moved, they had the momentum of a landslide.

According to the experience of ancient human warfare, the visual shock of hundreds of cavalry charging together is comparable to the charging effect of thousands of infantry. And in this battlefield, the size of the destroyer is compared to the big-headed ant warriors, just as the cavalry is to the infantry, each destroyer is like a cavalry, and the charge of thousands of cavalry is as majestic as Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

The protagonist notices that on the second line of defense, some of the squad commanders have noticeably taken a small step back, clearly frightened by the enemy's momentum. These males had faced the enemy yesterday, but they were still affected.

Fortunately, the army of the Divine Envoy King is also a heroic division that has won a hundred battles, and the perennial victory has naturally sharpened the commander's will.

The protagonist now understands why the Paving Ant Barbarian Army and the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom Northern Expeditionary Army are no match for the Destroyer Army in the field. Not to mention combat effectiveness, the momentum of the Destroyer is like a debuff, which can make the enemy in front of you collapse without a fight, or fall into a negative state such as sluggishness and stiffness.

The Destroyers quickly rushed to the front of the trench, and then quickly followed the pheromones left behind by yesterday's vanguard and rushed towards the passages on both sides.

The defenders' ballistae also began to fire, and this time, instead of firing less lethal shotshots, the ballistas fired directly boulder shells.

The stone projectile fell, hit, bounced, and hit again in the Destroyer's array, knocking over several Destroyers in an instant.

Today's destroyers are more numerous, the formation is more crowded, and the ballista can hit with a casual aim, so you don't have to worry about shooting out of the air at all.

But in less than half a minute, the vanguard of the Destroyer had already poured into the passage, and some of the Destroyer had already passed through the passage.

This was much faster than yesterday's advance of their vanguard as they fumbled their way, and by this time the ballistas had just been rewound.

The ballista squad immediately loaded the giant arrows and fired them into the passage, instantly sweeping away the Destroyers crowded through the passage, temporarily cutting off the Destroyers who had already passed through the passage from the rear.

But there are too many Destroyers and they move extremely fast, and the protagonist soon realizes that with the current rate of ballista fire, it is impossible to block the passage.

Enemies continued to pass through the trenches, and the Destroyer at the front had begun to climb the anthill and head towards the protective net above.

The main entrance to the [bridgehead] anthill near the bottom has been closed, and it was sealed by the protagonist himself with a large stone, and even the destroyer could not move it.

The only way the Destroyer can break into the anthill is inside the protective net on top of the anthill.

Now that the first line of defense has been breached, the main battlefield is the second line of defense.

The 13th Legion began to push rolling stones the size of mung beans down the outer wall of the anthill at a 60-degree slope, hitting a number of climbing destroyers.

But the Destroyer's carapace is hard, and these falling boulders are at best an obstacle to their climbing, and they don't do any damage.

Soon, the Destroyer came outside the protective net, revealing its huge and hideous jaws up close!
