Chapter 217: The Gravel Battle (4)
The Supreme Commander of the Beetle Legion, Roll, has received an alert from both the Flying Knight and the Scythe Hunter Scout, and the enemy is rapidly approaching.
The enemy army was only a short distance away from hitting his legion, and although the King's army was not moving fast in order to keep the battle line intact, it would only take less than a minute to cross this distance, and the two sides would enter a brutal state of engagement.
The scouts of the First Legion of the Divine Envoy King spontaneously attacked the enemy troops lined up at the edge of the enemy formation, and from time to time they rushed up, grabbed a big-headed ant smaller than themselves with their big jaws and ran away, and then killed the captured enemy.
Although the scout team has a small success, this little disturbance does not stop the enemy's advance, and it is difficult to slow down the enemy's movement.
At this time, Roll made a quick decision and ordered the various beetle squads to suspend their rest. Now there is not enough time for the Beetle Legion, which has lost its original formation after the impact, to reorganize the Blade Array, and the various Beetle Squads have been leveled out, roughly looking like a long snake formation.
However, the beetle's assault power is still there, and he doesn't think that the enemy can think of any way to block the beetle's assault after encountering the beetle for the first time, but it is just relying on the ant's life to fill it.
Time was ticking, and the shooters on the back of the beetles made a quick bomb attack, setting off a few small waves and slight confusion in the counterattack of the King's army.
Faced with the enemy forces close at hand, the Beetle Legion received the order and launched another assault, followed by the infantry!
The commanders of both sides are watching here, and they all know that the ownership of the main nest is here in this battle, and the key to this battle lies in the trend of the battle in this area!
- I'm the dividing line -
Beetles large and small rushed forward with all their might, and each time they rushed hard, they could always knock a large number of enemy ants away, opening up an open space in the originally complete formation of the enemy formation.
But these beetles are flesh and blood after all, even if the armor is hard and invulnerable, leaving the enemy helpless, they will also be tired.
After almost a quarter of an hour of fighting, these beetles were already showing more or less signs of exhaustion. After all, not all insects are as powerful and endurant as ants, and this kind of long-term combat consumes a lot of energy, especially for cold-blooded animals like insects.
Although the Dawang Conference Army is a temporary patchwork army, under the organization of the grassroots commanders, it still carries forward the tenacious and tenacious characteristics of the ant warriors, and consumes the physical strength of the beetles again and again with a thick formation.
At the same time, a large number of warriors of the King's Council Army, who were still fighting power, began to try to besiege the beetles, tearing their carapace cracks and joints, and climbing the beetles' backs to attack the Divine Envoy King warriors, pilots, and even commanders above.
The accompanying infantry of the Beetle Legion surrounded the Beetle and arranged a closely connected line to block the fierce counterattack of the King's army.
However, the infantry of the Beetle Legion is only less than half of the enemy's army, and it needs to give priority to protecting the beetles, so they cannot form the best continuous horizontal formation, and can only arrange a circle around the beetles.
After the beetles were exhausted, the accompanying infantry could only hold on to the beetles that had been dispersed, and they were completely divided. The natural length of the circle was shorter than that of the enemy, and for a while, the Beetle Legion fell into passivity.
This was something that Roll did not expect in advance, he was accustomed to the indomitable and invincible attack of the Beetle Legion in training and exercises, but he did not expect that these rabble enemy troops would be able to pass through the thick battle line, absorb the power of the Beetle's assault like a cushion, and let his legions fall into separate battles.
Of course, in order to block and delay the onslaught of the beetles, the King's army paid heavy casualties, with thousands of soldiers killed or wounded, while the casualties of the Divine King's army were still in the double digits.
However, this casualty was worth it in the eyes of the old king, and he also saw that these beetles were equivalent to a large rock as long as they stopped.
Whether it is a stag beetle or a unicorn fairy, although the body is huge and looks hideous and terrifying, in fact, they are both vegetarian insects, and the huge horns and large jaws are used to compete for mates during mating, and are not suitable for dealing with smaller creatures such as ants. After stopping, losing speed and impact, these beetles are themselves in danger just like the beetles that previously died under the large jaws of ant hunters.
Fortunately, there are infantry to protect them, and the warriors on their backs are using slings to support allies as much as possible.
However, surrounded by a large number of enemies, the positions around some small beetles have been crumbling, and the beetle army may suffer heavy losses at any time - now, the casualties of any beetle are difficult to replenish, and the hatching and domestication of beetles requires a lot of time and resources.
The protagonists, the old-fashioned king, and the roll all look at this battlefield, but their moods are different.
The rolling vehicle was a medium-sized dung beetle, which did not participate in the assault, but remained in the rear. This dung beetle is docile by nature and is not suitable for battlefield fighting, but it is competent as a commander's car.
Although he was not in the predicament of being surrounded by the front line, he was extremely anxious, his troops were almost all fighting hard, and he had no reserves to send out - he sent all his squads out before launching a surprise attack.
Although the old-fashioned king has regained some disadvantages, he can only watch the stalemate in front of him and be anxious now, he also pressed all the reserves at hand, and there is no mobile force.
There was also bad news from the messengers on the left and right flanks, both of which were weaker troops, though roughly equal in number to the central position, but on the verge of collapse, and were appealing to the old king for help.
The old-fashioned king has no troops to send, so he can only hope that the legions on the left and right flanks will collapse more slowly, and hold back the enemy army for a while, so that as long as the middle lane is victorious, there is still hope of defeating the enemy army.
The protagonist's mood is not as heavy and anxious as the above two, because he still has reserves on his hands.
- I'm the dividing line -
Anxiously staring at the roll ahead, he suddenly heard a noisy movement behind him.
Looking back, I saw a large number of friendly troops advancing on the gravel ground, and these soldier warriors, led by the commander, quickly overtook the rolling car and rushed forward.
Rolling saw Lambother, and he knew that it was the Sixth Legion that had come to his aid.
The Sixth Legion was originally responsible for defending the main character's main formation, and at the same time served as the general reserve. Although twelve squads were transferred, the legion still had a strength of thirty-eight combat squads and two scout squads.
After observing that the left and right flanks have an advantage but cannot get out quickly for the time being, the protagonist decisively throws the reserve team into the middle line, striving to win with one blow!
