Chapter 18 Plans and Changes

If it is only to stall for time, there is no doubt that the stubborn strategy advocated by Rambo Buddha and Rambo is more appropriate.

With the strong "bridgehead" fortress built after the beginning of spring, the three Divine Envoy King Legions were entrenched in it, and even if the enemy army had five or six times the superiority in strength, they could only be consumed alive by the Divine Envoy King's razor tactics.

The protagonist also intends to do the same, so the instructions are conveyed.

But the plan could not keep up with the change, and that afternoon, the protagonist had to improvise a second military meeting, overturning the original plan for the morning.

It turned out that at noon, the flying knight and the patrol reported an update at the same time.

The scouts of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army are in groups of three or five, and they are haunting the vicinity of the "bridgehead".

Fearing unnecessary losses in the scout battle, the Divine King's legion was very restrained in sticking to the "bridgehead" fortress and the rope bridge bridgehead, and did not go out to contact the enemy.

As for the paving ant barbarian army scouts who dared to test the two positions of the Divine Envoy King Legion, the Divine Envoy King Legion also ruthlessly launched a small-scale counterattack to repel them.

However, this time, the Paving Ant Barbarian Army obviously had a great appetite, although they had basically explored the information of the area near the "bridgehead", but they did not give up on the two positions heavily defended by the Divine Envoy King Legion, but continued to probe and did not care about sacrifice at all.

The scouts of these Paving Ant Barbarian Army are obviously seasoned veterans, adept at seeking opportunities in constant contact, temptation, and tugging.

The "bridgehead" fortress area has the geographical advantage of fortifications, and the Paving Ant Barbarian Army has never been able to find an opportunity.

But at the head of the rope bridge, here is a linden tree, and the army of the god envoy king did not build fortifications, but deployed along the trunk.

As a result, as soon as he was careless, he was found a fleeting vacancy by the scouts of the two paving ant barbarians in repeated pulling, and took the opportunity to sneak into the defensive circle.

The soldiers of the Divine Envoy King Legion hurriedly divided their forces to chase after them, but the two Paving Ant Barbarian Army scouts were very cunning and moved quickly all the way up.

As they moved, they apparently spotted the Rope Bridge, as well as the soldiers of the First and Second Legions of the Divine Envoy King who were constantly crossing the river on the Rope Bridge.

Some of the legionnaires who had just crossed the river joined the pursuit, and they managed to surround one of the Paving Ant Barbarian scouts, killing him cleanly.

But another paving ant scout managed to climb the canopy of the linden tree, and then leaped from a small branch and landed lightly to the ground, hiding in the dense vegetation and avoiding the encirclement of the Divine Envoy King's legion.

The Flying Knights hovering in the air also noticed the anomaly, and they tried to continue chasing the paving ant barbarian scout, but in the dense vegetation, it was very difficult to keep track of the aerial track, especially the individual ants. In the end, they lost their target and failed to contain the enemy scout, who had received vital information.

This information is quickly reported to the protagonist, forcing the protagonist to change his original plan.

According to the original plan, the Divine Envoy King's legion only needed to hold the "bridgehead", because the "bridgehead" fortress was close to the river and the water table was high, so the underground scale here was not large, and it could only hold a small amount of materials.

The "Waterfront City" on the south bank of the Great River is the rear base of the "bridgehead", which can continuously provide supplies through the rope bridge for the "bridgehead" defenders to continue to fight.

In the protagonist's plan, after the first army of rolling and the second army of Lambaufer have all crossed the river, the defense of the rope bridge will be withdrawn.

An arbor with no enemy troops, only a strange "vine", should not attract extra attention from the Paving Ant Barbarian Army.

Even if there were occasional scouts of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army who climbed from the rope bridge to the south bank of the river, an ambush position was prepared there to ensure that the enemy would not come back and not leak secrets.

The transportation of materials from the "Waterfront City" to the "Bridgehead" will also be carried out at night.

In this way, the logistics line of the Divine Messenger King's army is almost non-existent for the enemy army.

Although the plan was perfect in theory, it could not keep up with the changes in its implementation. In the process of the transfer of the first legion and the second legion, even though the Divine Envoy King Legion was strictly defended, it was still discovered by the paving ant barbarian army.

After the scout ran back to report, the commander of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, even if he was sluggish, could see that the rope bridge was tired.

The only weakness of the "bridgehead" fortress is the logistics transportation line, the original small underground part of the fortress, after the entire three corps are plugged, the remaining space can only support the troops for three days of operation.

Once the enemy division controls the rope bridge transportation line, or even simply bites the rope bridge, in this season when the river is not frozen, the protagonist has no way to repair the rope bridge, and the army of the god envoy king on the north bank of the river will be completely reduced to a lonely army, and lack of materials for long-term combat.

For now, the only way to do this is to destroy this enemy force as soon as possible in the field, and to prevent the enemy from passing on the secret information of the rope bridge to the rear.

The protagonist summons the commander and begins to assign tasks.

The Eagle leads the Flying Knight to keep a close eye on the enemy's secondary nest, and any paving ants that set out from the secondary nest to the enemy's rear must be killed to prevent the enemy from passing on information.

Considering that the male ants are weak in individual combat effectiveness, even if they are equipped with spears and slings, they may not be able to catch the enemy's nimble and cunning veterans.

To accomplish this task, the protagonist also asks each Flying Knight to carry a Soldier Ant Veteran on their mount. When necessary, these ants are thrown near enemy couriers, where they are responsible for the final kill.

The Flyhawk was a little reluctant, after all, he wanted to let the noble male ant be the driver of the lowly soldier ant, and he also wanted to pull some honor and status of the flying knight or something. But the protagonist exercised his authority and had a serious attitude, so that the flyhawk did not dare to blow up his feathers.

The protagonist then orders that the First, Second, and Fourth Legions are all ready to come out and fight a siege battle.

This siege and annihilation battle is difficult, not only to destroy the main force of the enemy, but also to conquer the secondary nest of the nearby paving ant barbarians.

The most difficult part is that the Divine Envoy King's legion must ensure that none of the enemy troops escape, especially the enemy's male ant commander.

In this way, the secret of the rope bridge can be preserved to the greatest extent.

In a war of annihilation, it is very difficult to ensure that the enemy army cannot escape. Especially in terms of troops, the Divine Envoy King's legion is still the inferior side.

With the razor tactics, it is not difficult for the Divine King's army to defeat the enemy head-on, but the difficulty is how to prevent the enemy from fleeing without scattering after admitting defeat......

If the enemy army is scattered and retreats, no matter how many troops there are in this densely vegetated area, no matter how many troops the Divine Envoy King's army has, it will not be possible to avoid the appearance of fish that will slip through the net.
