Chapter 223: The Second Day's Defensive Battle (1)

In "Waterfront City", after the first battle of the Winter Defense War, the protagonist does not take it lightly, and he soon holds a high-level meeting.

Since there is only a small conference room in "Waterfront City", the protagonist does not call a meeting of all the adult males, and only the protagonist, Roll, Rambose, Rambopho, Rambotu, and the commanders of the Waterfront City Garrison are all high-ranking commanders in the current army. Elephant Roll is the commander of the First Legion, Lamboser is its lieutenant, and Lambovero and Rambotu are the commanders of the Second and Fourth Legions, respectively.

The protagonist shares some of the information fed back by the front-line fighters with everyone, and then asks everyone to study the following two questions.

The first question concerns the new tactics employed by the Paving Ant Barbarian Army. At the meeting, all the kings expressed their surprise at the new tactics adopted by the enemy, and they were not mentally prepared to deal with the enemy's new tactics, after all, the two sides have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, and each other's tactics have progressed like snails.

The protagonist has a vague feeling that the change of the enemy is related to the heavy losses they suffered at the beginning of this year, but he is not clear about the specific twists and turns. He could only encourage everyone to stop looking at the enemy with the same old thinking in the future, and since the gods had enabled the King's legion to use new tactics, so could the enemy.

The new tactics of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army did not cause much trouble to the Divine Envoy King Legion, after all, it was aimed at the tactics of the Public Security Legion and the Western Legion. However, the protagonist feels that the defenders of the other sub-nests still have a certain risk if they encounter this tactic. Big-headed ant warriors are accustomed to fighting in formation, exchanging their individual superiority for a better casualty exchange ratio. And once the front line is severed, resulting in a melee situation, the large number of small and flexible paving ant barbarian warriors are obviously more adaptable.

He also fed back this concern to everyone, but all the kings didn't have any good measures, except for the protagonist, no one could go out to other secondary nests outside the winter to warn, and the protagonist obviously couldn't leave the defense area lightly.

Subsequently, everyone abandoned this temporary unsolvable problem and moved on to the second problem: the problem of razor tactics malfunctioning due to too many enemy corpses in battle.

As mentioned earlier, the core of the razor tactic is that the soldiers in the second row of the defense line condescendingly attack the enemy's defenseless neck in front of them, forming a one-hit kill.

In a vast battlefield, this tactic won't have much of a problem killing as many enemies as you want. However, in the specific battlefield of "Waterfront City", the flat nest room, as the number of enemy corpses increases, the enemy's follow-up troops need to step on a large number of corpses to attack again, and the enemy's altitude inadvertently increases, resulting in the second row of soldier ants unable to reach the enemy's neck when attacking, and the first row of soldier ants also have to deal with the enemy's attacks from high to low.

According to statistics, on the first day of battle, the enemy army lost about a thousand soldiers, and the Divine Envoy King's legion also lost thirty soldiers, most of which were lost at this stage.

The protagonist asks everyone to brainstorm a solution to this problem. In fact, the protagonist already has a plan in mind, but he still hopes that all the male ants under his command can get used to this kind of collective discussion, and cultivate an independent commander as soon as possible through training, so as to avoid having to do everything himself.

The results of the discussion at the meeting were generally satisfactory to the protagonist, and some unfeasible plans were quickly rejected, and with his little guidance, the final perfect plan was consistent with the draft in the protagonist's mind.

At the end of the meeting, the protagonist returns to the Flat Nest, where the worker ants of the original "Waterfront City" are throwing the corpses of enemies out of the nest to avoid crowding the space inside the nest.

Since it was already night outside and the temperature was very low, it brought a lot of difficulty to this work. Worker ants need to go to the warm nest ** to raise their body temperature first, and then take advantage of the good physical condition to quickly pick up the corpse and throw it outside the entrance and exit of the nest, and then crawl back to the nest ** before the body is frozen ** to keep warm.

Once there is a delay in the middle, some worker ants will not have enough body temperature to support him to complete his work, so he can only temporarily give up his work or continue to carry out the work at the risk of being frozen. Some of the worker ants were frozen near the entrance and exit of the nest, but fortunately, a companion carried him back without non-combat attrition.

After the Flat Nest Battlefield was cleaned up, the "Waterfront City" seemed to be quiet again, at least the peace of the night.

- I'm the dividing line -

The next day, the sun has just risen, and the protagonist has already arrived at the observation point of the tree branches outside the lair and continues to look north.

didn't let him wait long, as the first rays of sunlight covered the ground, the starting base of the paving ant barbarian army on the north bank of the river seemed to come to life, and countless paving ants whose limbs were numb in the cold night slowly and stiffly climbed onto the ground, set up a formation, stretched their limbs, and let the sun drive away the cold of the night.

Today, the scouts of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army did not go deep into the vicinity of "Waterfront City", they only explored a new path on the ice of the Great River - the ice surface has expanded, and there is no need to take a detour from the ice bridge to reach "Waterfront City".

As the army of paver ants recharged, they regrouped and set out, crawling across the river by the shortest path.

As yesterday, the enemy was too numerous for all forty legions to climb the island, so only eight legions landed on the island, except for two legions who remained on the ice bridge, and the other thirty legions firmly controlled a piece of land on the south bank of the river and the wooden bridge leading to the island.

In it, the protagonist notices that one of the enemy legions is noticeably smaller, about half the size of the other legions. This is clearly the forward corps that launched yesterday's offensive and suffered heavy losses.

Today, however, the regiment did not land on the island, but was on standby on the south bank of the river, and it was clear that the enemy forces were also rotated. However, no matter how the enemy rotates, only one legion can enter the flat nest battlefield inside the "Waterfront City" at a time, and it will not be able to give full play to the advantage of numbers and wheel battles.

With the enemy in place, the protagonist retreats back into the "Waterfront Castle" and quietly waits for the outcome of the next day's battle.

The battle on this day seems to be more intense than the day before, and the protagonist can only feel the tension and intensity of the front line from the vibrations coming from the wooden floor under his feet.

This feeling of not being seen and hearing is sad, not only the protagonist, but also the commanders of the front-line troops cannot grasp the full situation in the dimly lit flat nest battlefield, and there are many situations that only the front-line fighters themselves know, and they are responsible for the situation.

As soon as the battle is over, the protagonist immediately rushes to the battlefield and asks the commander and the fighters about today's battle.
