Chapter 176: Dispatch of Troops
[Stone Pillar City] is also similar to [Trench City], this is the "real main nest" of the original queen ant inheritance faction, after a long period of operation, the nest is larger, the ant population is numerous, and the defense is relatively complete. Thanks to this, the defenders were able to hold out for many days surrounded by more and more enemies.
But to this day, whether it is [Trench City] or [Stone Pillar City], the defenders have suffered heavy casualties, and the enemy has already gained a foothold in the nest, besieging it every day, and the situation in the two nests is in danger.
The rest of the attacked nests are also in critical condition.
Fortunately, the protagonist finally learned about the war at this time, and did not react until the war burned to the main nest [Qingqiu City] and the wider hinterland.
The immediate priority now is to relieve the defenders of the besieged [Trench Castle] and other places.
At this time, there were many legions in [Qingqiu City], including: the 2nd Legion of Rambo Fei, the newly formed 19th Legion, 20th Legion, 21st Legion, 22nd Legion, 23rd Legion and 24th Legion. It is reasonable enough to form a strong reinforcement force.
However, although the 2nd Army Corps was nominally the first-class main force, it was transferred to the command of Lambo Fei after the death of Rambo Fo, and was stationed in [Qingqiu City] for a long time, and it has not participated in the big war for more than a year, and some skilled veterans have also retired due to age, and a large number of new recruits have been replenished. The current combat effectiveness of this legion is not very large, so the protagonist can rest assured.
As for the 19th-24th Legions, although there are as many as 6 legions, 15,000 soldiers, and they are all equipped with bronze weapons in winter, after all, they are newly formed troops in the last wave of army expansion, and they have not yet experienced the test of the great war.
Therefore, the protagonist does not dare to expect the troops of [Qingqiu City] to completely relieve the crisis of [Trench City].
He immediately sent the Flying Knight to fly to [Linshui City], and asked the five Big-headed Ant Legions and one Scythe Hunter Ant Legion stationed there, except for the 9th Legion of the Stag Elephant and the 10th Legion of the Armored Ox to stay behind, the rest of the Legions (the 1st Legion of Rolling, the 7th Legion of the Praying Tiger, the 8th Legion of the Dung Rhino, and the 14th Legion of Kites) immediately pulled out the camp and rushed to support.
In this way, the protagonist has reinforcements from four legions, including a beetle legion and a scythe hunting ant legion, all of which are the main forces with strong combat effectiveness.
But even if this reinforcement force rushes desperately, it will take two or three days to arrive, and the protagonist does not dare to guarantee that the [Trench City] that the news has been cut off will be able to hold out for so long, so he first sets out with the 19th-24th Army Corps of [Qingqiu City] to support [Trench City], at least to harass the enemy on the periphery and relieve the pressure on the defenders.
At the same time, in addition to [Trench City], there are also a number of sub-nests that are also under siege, and the protagonist can only order the neighboring sub-nests to support as much as possible, and at the same time let the rear station [Dongyang City] and [Southern City] and other places with more mobile troops to form reinforcements to support.
The protagonist has been busy deploying troops all day, so to speak, this big detour of the Destroyer winter, allowing the protagonist to consume the enemy through the [bridgehead], and then control the war on the north bank of the river is completely ruined. The base camp of the Divine Envoy King's army on the south bank of the river is now completely in flames, and the situation is in great danger of getting out of control.
What the protagonist has to do now is to stabilize the line of defense and not let the soldiers spread to too many areas, otherwise the territorial economy that has been managed with great difficulty will be over.
Then the next step is to gradually regain the lost territory on the south bank of the Great River, forming a situation of estrangement and confrontation.
I'm the dividing line
The protagonist leads 6 new legions to set off early the next morning and rush to [Trench City].
Rescue is like fighting fire, the protagonist does not want to set out to support yesterday, but he also has to coordinate the entire battle situation, and the six new regiments have a lot of work to do to pull out the camp, and the commander is still inexperienced and inefficient when preparing for the work.
Therefore, it was not until noon the next day that reinforcements from the main nest [Qingqiu City] arrived in the war zone belatedly.
There are about 3,000 Destroyers surrounding [Trench City], half of them have been thrown into the attack on the underground battlefield, and they have occupied one-third of the area of [Trench City]'s underground lair.
More than a thousand other destroyers are stationed on the perimeter of the ground.
The six legions led by the protagonist quickly alarmed the enemies on the ground, and they could always spot the actions of the Divine Messenger Legion without scouting.
After numerically superior but still struggling to eliminate the interception of the first group of about 200 Destroyers, the Flying Knights anxiously warned in the air.
It turned out that thousands of Destroyers had already gathered for the battlefield and were soon engaged in a firefight with the Divine Envoy King's legion.
Seeing that his side has a tenfold superiority in strength, the protagonist does not need to be afraid of a decisive battle, so he orders his six legions to line up and enter the battle in a long formation, trying to surround the enemy and then eat the enemy's force.
But these six new legions are not first-class main forces after all, and both combat effectiveness and execution have dragged down the protagonist's command.
The two corps on the outer flanks were slow to move after receiving the order and did not complete the outflanking in time. However, the enemy began to concentrate his forces and storm the two legions in the center of the battle line of the Divine Envoy King's legions.
The two legions fell into a fierce battle at once, and the front line was repeatedly breached. After all, they have not received the tactical training of the protagonist against the Destroyer, and use traditional tactics.
When the battle is critical, the core position of the 9th Legion where the protagonist is located also falls into a scuffle, and the protagonist has to enter the state of the gods and kill the three destroyers to stabilize the situation.
The battle lasted for a small half a day, and the Destroyer saw that he could not destroy this army of the Divine Envoy King, and the 23rd and 24th Legions on both flanks of the Divine Envoy King's Legion finally broke through the sniper of the few Destroyers and began to close the encirclement.
The Destroyers wisely struck out of the encirclement that had not yet been closed, and easily broke the encirclement and walked away.
After the battle, after statistics, the Divine Envoy King's army eliminated more than 400 enemies and paid more than 3,000 casualties, which shows the fierceness of this unwon battle.
After stripping the Destroyer of the battlefield from the corpse of the Destroyer, the Divine Messenger King's army retreated a short distance and camped in a hole under a boulder.
The protagonist holds a military meeting in the camp, and severely criticizes the commanders of the 23rd and 24th Legions, which can be described as delaying fighters today, acting slowly when carrying out outflanking tasks, unable to advance in time when blocked by small forces of the enemy, and finally trying to blockade and encircle the enemy, and the enemy easily broke through and escaped.
The protagonist only hopes that his anger will increase the combat effectiveness of the six new legions under his command, and he also misses the most effective legions under his command at the moment.
I'm the dividing line
The night was dark, the moonlight was cold, the shadows of the trees were waving, and the spring night was still cold, it didn't seem to be a peaceful night.
