Chapter 98: April Fool's Day Offensive (4)

After the ballista continued long-range strikes, the assault had been launched, but it had not yet reached the enemy army under the walls, and there was some confusion.

The chaos was first provoked by the black brown ants and the belly-raising ants, who were accustomed to following the army of red fire ants to fight with the wind, and had never encountered such a fierce and distant counterattack.

But at this moment, the Divine Envoy King Legion subverted their cognition with ballistas, and the black brown ants and belly-raising ants, who had never encountered such a striking method, were the first to waver.

At this time, the formation of the forward troops of the Red Fire Ant Army is very interesting, and the Red Fire Ant warriors are lined up in the back row, just like the Warlord.

The other slave auxiliaries were divided into eight symmetrical formations, lined up horizontally, and charged in front. From east to west, they are burrowing ant array, belly-raising ant array, black brown ant array, forest ant array, forest ant array, black brown ant array, belly-raising ant array, burrowing ant array, showing a symmetrical formation.

After the bellied ants and the black brown ants stopped in a panic, the two forest ants in the middle and the two burrowing ants on the sides became protruding.

However, the red fire ants supervising the battle in the rear did not let the black brown ant formation and the belly ant formation be chaotic for too long, they brutally directly attacked the slave army formation and slaughtered it, and after killing several male ants in a row, they finally used fear to re-stabilize these slave auxiliaries and continue to attack.

The Legion of the Divine Envoy King produced and hoarded a large number of ballista ammunition and slings in preparation for war, and even used the precious Mystic Ball reserves to produce a lot of fire bomb slings.

At this moment, countless ballista shells and slings were splashed out like money, flying in the air like flying locusts, and the attacking formation had been pulled into a jagged shape of the enemy army, and soldiers were constantly hit.

The two arrays of forest ants in the middle were the fastest, almost approaching under the city wall at one point, and then they attracted all the firepower from all directions, and under the intersection of direct and side-fired fire, even if the forest ants were already considered brave, they could not resist.

After suffering huge losses, the two forest ant army formations could only turn around and run, but they were still in order.

The forest ants all fled, so that the black brown ants immediately followed suit, in fact, they didn't suffer much loss, they really fled in despair.

However, the burrowing ant array on the two wings, with the efforts of the defenders to gather fire forest ants, took advantage of the sparse rain of bullets to kill under the city wall, and then tried to climb and feint.

Immediately after, the bellied ants also arrived at the foot of the city wall and began to form horizontal formations and spray formic acid upwards in an attempt to suppress the defenders.

To the enemy's speechlessness, and to the protagonist's laughter, the range of the Formic Acid of the Divine Envoy King has been increased to a full two decimeters, and the height of the Divine Envoy Ant's shot is no more than one decimeter, and their shots do not threaten the Divine Envoy King warriors at all, but continue to hit the burrowing ant warriors who are struggling to climb the smooth city wall.

Originally, after these burrowing ant warriors went up to the wall, they were in the dead end of the slinging shot, and the stones thrown by the defenders could not smash them down at most, but they could not be killed, and only sporadic ballista oblique fire could threaten them.

The energetic burrower ant warrior who was climbing was hit by a volley of formic acid from the bellied ants, almost sweeping away the unsuspecting burrower ant warrior.

Countless burrowing ant warriors wailed and fell down like raindrops, and many of them were covered in signs of corrosion, which was unbearable to see.

The burrowing ants retreated under the strong ability of the friendly forces to be injured by mistake, and the bellied ants did not dare to stay for long, and followed the rout.

This time, the Red Fire Ant Warrior who oversaw the battle did not stop the defeat of the four slave ant clans, but led them back to a safe distance and began to regroup.

The first tentative attack of the enemy did not even touch the tentacles of the defenders, except for more than a thousand corpses and an almost equal number of wounded soldiers who did not flee back.

However, the protagonist still ordered everyone to be on high alert, the Red Fire Ant Army was just a tentative attack, the defenders didn't even destroy much of the enemy's cannon fodder troops, and the enemy's most elite Chinese army's 30,000 "Red Reserves" were not used, and it was not yet time for optimism.

At this time, the protagonist and the flying knight noticed at the same time that the enemy army, which was regrouping in the hollow, had a surprising move.

I saw that after the enemy army was regrouping, the red fire ants suddenly divided into several squads, rushed into the eight army formations, caught a lot of slave ants, and escorted them to the front of the formation.

These were all male ants, and they and their subordinates had no will to resist except for shivering, and let the red fire ants cut off their heads neatly.

Almost every slave ant clan had four or five males killed, and the corpses with their heads separated were paralyzed in front of the military formation, looking cruel and terrifying.

The protagonist understands that the red fire ants are making an example of the monkeys, warning these slave auxiliaries that they must fight hard in the next wave of attacks, otherwise they will continue to slaughter the male ants.

In the ensuing wave of the offensive, the slave auxiliaries launched a frantic charge led by the almost mad male ants who had been stimulated by fear.

This time, the enemy basically kept the line straight as they charged, and even the most cowardly black brown ants were not left behind.

In the charge, once which army formation is too prominent, it is easy to encounter concentrated fire, especially the flank fire can often penetrate and kill more soldiers, so the army formation that encounters concentrated fire and flank attack is easy to collapse due to excessive casualties. The collapse of one formation, in turn, exposed the flanks of the other formations, and at the same time freed up part of the defenders' firepower, which could be invested in other sectors. Under the elimination of the advantages of the other, the collapse of the attacking side is inevitable.

However, if the attacker's formation remained in a straight line, the defenders would have no time to deal with the enemy head-on, which would reduce the attacker's casualties.

After the Red Fire Ant Warlords performed the trick of killing chickens and monkeys, the enemy army, which had a numerical advantage, finally attacked the city wall after paying a certain price.

Then, the array of bellied ants began to change, lined up, and once again sprayed formic acid in an attempt to suppress the defenders, but their range was simply not enough.

Many of the climbing forest ants, burrowing ants and black brown ant warriors fell under the accidental injury of the bellied ants, and the bellied ants were still happy to shoot on their own.

At this time, the elite of the Red Fire Ant clan who were hiding in the last battle finally rushed to the city wall, and they first rushed to kill without hesitation, killing the bellied ants who were frantically injuring their allies, so that the bellied ants fled desperately after they collapsed.

The reason why the Red Fire Ant Warrior went on a killing spree was naturally because he saw a huge accidental injury.

However, this can't be completely blamed on the bellied ants, they have never seen such a towering city defense, and they use the tactics of previous forest warfare to deal with it, which is naturally counterproductive.

Subsequently, the Red Fire Ant Warriors who supervised the battle began to climb the city wall without worries together with the slave auxiliaries!
