In the sky, there was a dense buzzing sound of flapping wings, and the old-fashioned king knew that this was the rumored flying knight who could ride flies.

Since the appearance of the Divine Envoy King, there have been more new things in the country of the Big-Headed Ant King than in the previous hundreds of years combined, such as flying knights, such as night attacks, and so on.

The old-fashioned king doesn't like these new things, and hundreds of years of tradition have made everyone live well, so why do they have to come up with something new and hard to fathom?

Despite his conservative aversion to new things, the Stereotype King was not stupid, and he knew that it was these Flying Knights who were spying on his army and giving the abominable Divine King an advantage.

Therefore, instead of not having a flying knight, he prefers that the other party will not have a flying knight.

But this is just a fantasy, on the real battlefield, under the dual guidance of the flying knights and scouts, the Divine Envoy King Legion is entering the battlefield in a steady and orderly manner.

Ignoring the scouts on the periphery, the Divine Envoy King's legion only had 7,500 warriors from three legions on the frontal battlefield, and the number was only more than half of that on the other side.

But these three legions have formed an extremely wide and thin front, and it seems that a slight assault can be penetrated.

It is not for nothing that the Divine Legion dares to be so confident and magnanimous.

The three legions that went into battle were the most elite 1st, 2nd and 3rd legions, with the 1st legion as the center of the Beetle Legion and the main assault force, while the 2nd and 3rd legions were guarding on the left and right flanks.

The Sixth Legion, which has been assigned a small squad to the secondary nest, remains with the protagonist as a reserve, and the protagonist's home is set up on a rock on the edge of the gravel field, where he can overlook the entire battlefield.

The Fourth and Fifth Legions had spread far into the flanks, and were out of sight of the King's army, blocking their retreat.

This is the embodiment of the advantage of mastering intelligence and vision, when the scouts of the Dawang Council Army were suppressed, and their eyes were blackened except for the military situation in front of them, and they were completely unaware of it, they were already surrounded and cut off from retreating.

Under the guidance of the scouts, the three gods fighting head-on moved to a distance of about three meters from the enemy's formation, which was the limit of the male ant's field of vision, and they could only see vaguely if they were far away, and they couldn't see anything from a meter away.

Both the Big-Headed Ant and the Paving Ant Army like to form up to half a meter away from the enemy, so that the commander can visually understand the enemy's position and identify weaknesses.

The old-fashioned king also saw the approach of the Divine Messenger King's legions, and he also began to send a large number of heralds to order his legions to prepare for battle.

As far as the eye could see, and from the messenger's return, the Old-Fashioned King learned that he had the advantage of his forces, so the Old-fashioned King prepared to spread his wings and surround the enemy on a longer front. According to the experience of previous battles, an army that can have a longer front will have an advantage, and the old-fashioned king believes that victory is his own.

But while the King's army was still communicating with each other and reorganizing the formation, the Divine Envoy King's army had already begun to move again.

Thanks to a wealth of experience, as well as efficient heralds and flying knights, it takes half the time for the Divine King's legion to assemble its formation.

After completing the preparations, the Divine Envoy King Legion naturally did not give the other side too much time and pressed forward again.

Seeing that the enemy army was pressing, some squad commanders who had not yet completed the rectification of the front line became anxious and began to urge their subordinates to set up or move, but instead caused confusion among the workers and soldiers who were not familiar with the military formation.

This is the difference between a rabble and an elite army, although each ant is a natural warrior and has an instinct to fight. However, military formations and organizations need to be learned, and even if they receive information packets, they need time to become familiar with and master them. These soldiers of the King's Conference Army, who were temporarily arrested, obviously have not mastered these yet.

The army formation of the Divine Envoy King's army quickly advanced a decimeter and then stopped, relieving the commander of the Great King's Council Army on the opposite side.

What they fear most is that the enemy will launch a surprise attack while their army is not stable, which will inevitably cause a lot of casualties on their side at the beginning. However, these males felt that their army formation was thick, and even if the first line was defeated, they could be broken back by virtue of the strength advantage of the reserves.

Now that the enemy has stupidly stopped the pace of the attack, it is naturally better, and it can also reduce the battle damage of their own side.

Especially the squad commanders on the front line of the grassroots level, if they were assaulted just now, many of these male ants could only hate the battlefield, and naturally hoped that the enemy would stay as long as possible, and it was best to wait until their side was in order and could take the initiative to attack.

But these males had apparently guessed the actions of the Divine Envoy King Legion based on their own experience, and the opponents who had fought against the Divine Envoy King Legion knew why the Divine Envoy King Legion had suddenly stopped.

A dense sound of breaking wind sounded, and a black flying locust rose from the army of the Divine Envoy King's army, almost obscuring the sky.

These are pottery and stone bullets thrown by a sling.

The slings of the Divine Envoy King's legion have always been a weapon that other armies cannot steal, giving ants the ability to fight from a distance when they could only fight hand-to-hand.

Stone bullets are highly destructive and can be lethal if they hit the head or torso, while pottery bullets will break and splash wherever they hit, causing a secondary damage, causing an area of effect.

Under the three extremely rapid shots of the Divine Envoy King's army, two decimeters away, the front line of about one decimeter thick in front of the Great King's Council Army was hit.

Although only a few hundred soldiers died directly, and only a little more than a thousand were wounded, the proportion is not high compared to the entire army.

But this blow completely disrupted the first front of the King's army.

Instead of relying entirely on long-range firepower, the Divine Legion immediately launched a surprise attack.

Many armies with ranged superiority are accustomed to relying on firepower and range, which gives them a weakness of being defeated.

The proportion of crossbow soldiers in the Northern Song Dynasty army was as high as six or seven percent, and it was still able to fight in the face of the Liao army and the Western Xia army, which were not neatly dressed and armored, and were mainly light cavalry, but they were taught to be human by the heavily armored Jurchen infantry cavalry during the Jingkang period, which was the evil result of relying too much on long-range strike forces.

Coincidentally, hundreds of years later, in the face of the Jurchen descendants who were still heavily armoured, the Houjin, the Ming army, which already had firearms, did not have an advantage, and often collapsed at the touch of a touch in hand-to-hand combat.

Even in the era of World War II and the War of Liberation, armies that dared to attack with bayonets were often able to defeat enemy forces with superior firepower.

"The bullet is a fool, the bayonet is a hero!"

The protagonist knows that only an army that dares to fight in close combat will achieve a balance in its organization, will to fight, and weapons to avoid shortcomings.
