Chapter 161: The Air Force Presents Might
In the world of insects, light is like a delicious sweet treat, and few insects can resist its temptation.
Scarabs are certainly no exception. Here, though, behemoths like beetles can only survive on sawdust and rotting plant buds.
However, raising these beetles is not an easy task, and their excrement is piled up everywhere and smells of it.
The hall where the beetles are kept is located deep underground, so there is not much room for them to move around, so it is even smaller.
There were obviously not enough workers in the ant city who were responsible for cleaning up the manure, and now they have at least twice as many cleaners to clean the beetles.
Su Sancheng is the first ant city in all ant city-states to study these symbiotic animals with a scientific attitude.
She firmly believes that any kind of insect can be trained to turn them into formidable weapons.
In her view, each individual has something to use, and the key is whether we can study them with a careful and thoughtful attitude.
So far, the attempts of the third empress of Su have been very successful.
She has domesticated thousands of species of Coleoptera, providing them with food, shelter, and healing, just like aphids.
She is most proud of the successful taming of the rhinoceros beetle.
She assembled an air force of five hundred and fifty rhinoceros beetles and a swimming water fleet of three hundred and twenty dragon lice.
Each rhinoceros beetle can carry eight to twelve artillery ants on its back, and each dragon lice can carry ten to eighteen artillery ants on its back.
Queen Su finally established her own air force and navy, and her dream came true.
Banlangen finally got the summons of the third queen of Su.
However, when the third queen Su came to it, it was surprised.
Princess Ling Xiao has changed from a gentle, delicate, shy and shy girl to a graceful, luxurious, calm and confident Queen Susan.
Empress Su asked Banlangen where he came from and why he was so embarrassed.
So, Banlangen told the current crisis of the Red Ant Country and his own experience.
Empress Su was very surprised when she heard this, but she didn't expect that the Hun ants were so rampant and bold that they dared to attack the famous Red Ant Empire.
It seems that we still lack an effective secret weapon to deal with the Hun ants, who are good at whirlwind attacks.
Banlangen agrees.
After some in-depth discussions, they finally decided to use the newly formed air force unit of the Third Empress Su - the Scarab Pilot Division.
500 Scarab Air Force was dispatched to attack and bomb the Hun Ant Army, and Banlangen was appointed as the Air Force Commander of the Scarab Flying Division.
At about 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Banlangen led the latest air force unit of the Red Ant Army to the front line.
I never thought that this so-called "Air Force fighter" - the scarab is too disappointing, this turtle grandson has to fall down every tens of meters to rest for a while and then fly, just like the classic car, it turns off when it is opened, and it has to be restarted after a long time of fire.
In this way, the flight stopped, and the air force unit led by Banlangen flew for more than half a month to arrive at the distance of more than 200 kilometers.
That morning, after a lot of hardship, the air force of Italangen finally arrived at the outskirts of Kyoto, the Red Ant Empire.
What catches your eye is the Hun ant soldiers and their barracks and supplies all over the mountains, and at this time the Xiongnu ant army has surrounded the Kyoto of the Red Ant Empire.
It was impossible for Banlangen's air force to destroy all of them because its air force carried too little ammunition.
It seems that it is only possible to find the key points of the enemy ants - the enemy ant headquarters, the enemy ant concentration points, and the grain warehouses of the enemy ants for bombardment.
Banlangen divided the 500 Scarab Pilots into five flying combat brigades, flew around the outside of the Hun ant encirclement, and once the above three places of the enemy army were found, they flew over to bomb them, and the artillery ants on the back of the Scarab threw formic acid bombs from top to bottom.
This sudden attack from the sky caught the Hun ants off guard, and the people flipped on their backs and fled in all directions.
When the Scarab Flying Combat Brigade lands from the ground in the air, the artillery ants on the Scarab's back can also fire formic acid bombs at the enemy ant colony.
However, to be on the safe side, they try to land in places where enemy ant colonies are relatively scarce to prevent enemy troops from counterattacking.
Obviously, this new set of tactics of Banlangen made the enemy extremely uncomfortable, and they had not even reacted yet, and were completely at the point of being passively beaten.
In the end, the commander-in-chief of the enemy army saw that the troops suffered heavy casualties and were unable to fight back, and the defeat was certain, so he had to retreat on all fronts.
This was the first time in the history of the Red Ant Army that the Air Force had fought and won a resounding victory.
A total of 27 large and small command headquarters, 64 dense points and 33 grain warehouses of the enemy ants were destroyed, and the Xiongnu ant army was completely defeated, thus relieving the siege of Kyoto of the Red Ant Empire.
However, when Banlangen led the Scarab Air Force to fly into the city of Kyoto in the Red Ant Country, what he saw was full of devastation, almost all the red ants were hiding in the tunnels, and there was a miserable scene outside, almost all the leaves, grasses, moss and lichens were gnawed away by the ants, and the surroundings were in a mess.
Could it be that there was a famine in the Red Ant Country? Later, Banlangen inquired and learned that Kyoto Castle had been besieged by enemy troops for nearly two months, and the food had already been eaten, so he had to eat all the edible things such as leaves, grass and moss on the ground.
When Banlangen told them that the enemy had been repulsed, they didn't believe it at first, but then ran to the gates of the city to see that it was.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised and cheered.
Soon, the news of our army's victory spread ten, ten to hundred.
The whole castle inhabitants and soldiers ran out of their burrows, and everyone hugged each other with joy and wept with joy.
