Chapter 207: The Battle of [Sitong City] (1)

The next day, April 5, as soon as the sky was light and the morning fog had not yet lifted, the army set out for the battlefield.

At this time, the weather is already warm, and even in the early morning, when the morning sun has just shone on the earth, it is not so cold outside, at least the ants can overcome it and still go outside without carrying the mystery ball.

The only inconvenience is that today's morning fog is too thick, not to mention that you can't see your fingers, but you can't see the scene a little farther away. Maybe it's the morning fog that covers the earth with a quilt, and it's so warm this morning. There are really advantages and disadvantages.

Ants already have poor eyesight, and although there is sunlight through the fog at this time, the fog is pale, but the ants are still similar to being underground, and they need to rely more on their antennae.

The whole army had been given food last night, had eaten and drunk enough, and had rested all night, except for the vigilant troops, and was ready for the big battle.

The arrow was ready to be sent and had to be sent, but the protagonist still ordered the army to advance against the fog. Maybe the sun will be shining in a moment, and the fog will soon dissipate.

The army was dispatched, and the 14th Army Corps set out first to build a scout network for the army. After the Flying Knights have reported that they cannot complete the aerial reconnaissance, the reconnaissance on the ground is particularly crucial.

Then the other troops, the 2nd Army Corps, and the 41st-74th Army Corps, a total of 35 field corps, poured out.

It took more than an hour for so many troops to come out of the nest and assemble, and then march in two columns in the direction of [Sitong City].

The protagonist is sitting in the middle of the army with the Praetorian Guard team today.

About an hour after departure, at about eight o'clock or nine o'clock in the morning, the advance of the army arrived at the site of yesterday's tug-of-war between the two sides, and the fog still showed no sign of fading.

The fog brought a lot of inconvenience to the command and dispatch of the Divine Envoy King's legion, and looking at the thick white fog, the protagonist also had a faint haze in his heart.

Today, the Destroyers did not set up a cordon far away, and I don't know if it was because it was too early to prepare or because they had gathered their forces to prepare for a decisive battle.

The scouts had already pressed deeper into the [Sitong City], and finally found the traces of the enemy army about an hour away from [Sitong City], on the outskirts of [Sitong City].

In order to find out the enemy's troop allocation, the 14th Legion's sickle hunters had to brave casualties, clear the dense fog little by little, and intensify their investigation in various places amid the enemy's continuous counterattacks, and then quickly evacuate the information.

Only then does the protagonist learn that the enemy has thousands of troops, deployed about half an hour northeast of [Sitong City], lined up in a horizontal formation, and lies in the direction of the advance of the Divine Envoy King's army.

Numerically, this force was not the full strength of the enemy forces surrounding [Sitong City].

The protagonist orders the scouts to continue scouting the neighborhood for other enemy troops, while the army begins to change formations from the marching queue to a horizontal formation when they are about fifteen minutes away from the enemy.

At this time, the fog felt a little clearer, but the army was in the bush at this time, and it was still impossible to see clearly from a distance.

The plans of the main characters are:

With the 41st-50th Legion as the left flank, commanded by the commander of the 41st Legion, he is a young generation of male ants from the main nest [Qingqiu City], with a larger head and antennae than other male ants, although he does not have much experience in war, but his qualifications are the oldest among the current young legion commanders.

The 51st-65th Legions are the Chinese Army, commanded by the protagonist himself, and the protagonist sits in the 58th Legion, guarded by the Praetorian Guard.

The 2nd Army Corps and the 66th-74th Army Corps were on the right flank, all of which were troops from [Dongyang City], still commanded by the veteran Lan Bofei who led them.

It takes time for the army to change, and the troops at the front of the march begin to turn to the left, and the follow-up units follow in turn and begin to enter the reserve positions.

But at this time, the protagonist hears a noisy movement in front of him through the fog, and something is wrong.

Soon, scouts came to report that the enemy did not wait for the arrival of our troops, but took the lead in attacking.

Soon, messengers were also sent from the forward troops: the legions in front were changing formations, and suddenly the enemy appeared out of the fog and attacked.

Many legions were lining up in columns to switch to horizontal formations, and they were not ready for engagement, and were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.

Coupled with the thick fog, it was inconvenient to observe, coordinate and command, and the big head said that he did not know how many enemies there were, and 6 of his 10 legions were engaged in battle, and the rest did not know whether to reinforce or hold on to the spot.

The protagonist was shocked, the timing of the Destroyer's counterattack was really just right, and he didn't know if it was shit luck or intentional.

When the formation was changed, it was originally the most vulnerable time for the army, and such a large fog concealed the enemy's traces. And the enemy came so fast that even the scouts didn't have time to warn them.

From the panicked report of the big head, the protagonist senses that the situation in the left-wing troops is not optimistic.

Although there are as many as 10 legions and 25,000 soldiers on the left flank, it is inconvenient to command at this time, and the enemy has thousands of people, and it is likely that they will be broken by each one, at least the commander of the left wing appointed by the protagonist is already a little panicked.

The protagonist immediately sends a messenger to ask Rambo Fei to assign a commander to command the right wing, so that he himself immediately leads his direct legion to the middle to command.

The protagonist leads the Praetorian Guard squad past the advancing troops and rushes to the battlefield on the left flank.

At this time, the front of the left flank troops was roughly in an arc, turning from the southwest to the southeast, which was caused by the change of formation.

The Destroyers swooped in from the center of the left flank, from southwest to northeast, breaking through the apex of the arc and then covering in both directions.

Of the 10 corps on the left flank, the 45th and 46th corps, the most centered, had been dispersed, but they were not completely annihilated, but the commanders were unable to gather and command their troops in the rout.

The danger lies in the fact that the enemy seems intent on overrushing the various legions in turn, rather than pursuing lethality for the time being. This is a very vicious method of warfare, and after it is completely dispersed, the warriors of the Divine Envoy King, who rely heavily on fighting in formation, become the prey of slaughter.

The 41st Army Corps, which was directly under the commander of the left flank, was at the forefront of the army, but it was not attacked for the time being. But he was already a little confused, and in such a fog, he had no idea how the enemy had discovered himself without sending a small force to reconnoiter and make contact.

In fact, the protagonist has repeatedly emphasized that the Destroyers have unknown reconnaissance methods, and the commanders must not let their guard down just because they have not made contact with the enemy's reconnaissance force.

But apparently many males could not understand and still did not remain vigilant.

The protagonist leads a small army all the way forward, and is about to cross the middle road, and when he reaches the left flank, suddenly the 51st Army Corps next to him also stirs!
