Chapter 180: Breaking Out of the Encirclement
At noon on this day, when the enemy dug up the fourth layer of tunnel network, it was time to dig through the fifth layer of tunnel network. The situation is critical. The 6,000 planes of the Red Ant Army, plus the 1,000 newly brought by the Queen of Gold and Silver Ants, a total of 7,000 Scarab bombers, finally arrived.
The situation on the battlefield suddenly took a dramatic turn, and the fierce Scarab bombers launched a one-sided slaughter towards the dense enemy ant colony.
The enemy ants who were digging saw countless beetles flying towards them in the air, and they were immediately frightened.
The Hun ants who surrounded the castle were already frightened when they saw the Scarab bombers in the sky, crowded with each other, trampled on each other, and were in chaos.
At this time, of course, the Scarab bombers will not show mercy to their subordinates, and they will bomb wherever there are many enemies.
It didn't take long for the enemy army to suffer a large number of casualties, and the Hun ants who crowded each other and fled for their lives also broke up the termite army, so that the termite army also fled with the Hun ants.
The artillery ants on the back of the beetle bombed in a hurry last time because of the lack of ants and ammunition, and they didn't find many termites, so they didn't pay much attention.
This time, I was shocked to find that there were so many termites in the enemy ant colony.
At first, the Scarab bomber tried to find trouble with the Hun ants, but now the Hun ants have been blown up in scattered places and are almost gone.
On the battlefield, it seems that only termites are left in a relatively neat formation, so they have to find trouble with termites.
Although it is not known why termites are also involved, it is certainly not a good thing to mix with the enemy, so let's teach them a hard lesson first.
In this way, the Scarab fighter turned around and bombarded the termite colony indiscriminately, which also let the termite army know that the red ant army is not so easy to mess with.
After the Scarab bomber blew up the enemy, they all returned to the vicinity of the castle, and an artillery ant got off the back of the Scarab and ran into the hole to report to the Huai Yam that there were termites that had joined the team of the Hun ants, so that it should be careful.
Huai Yam thought to himself: It turns out that termites have joined the enemy army! I said, how could we have two fires for no reason?
It seems that nine times out of ten it was termites who set the fire, and the Hun ants were definitely not so smart, if they wanted to set the fire, they should have been put on fire a long time ago, and they would never have been put again after such heavy losses. Otherwise, wouldn't they be mallets?
Now that we have found such a difficult opponent, we must not stay here for long, so we should retreat south to join the queen of gold and silver ants.
Therefore, Huai Yam immediately ordered all the artillery ants that did not have or less bombs to gather together, and the artillery ants who had dropped bombs were gathered together separately and took the scarab plane back to the gold and silver ant queen to fight there.
Soon, the adjustment of the flight unit was completed, and a total of more than 4,000 Scarab fighters completed the bombing mission and flew south, leaving about 3,000 Scarab fighters on standby.
Not long after, the remnants of the defeated army of only more than 40,000 soldiers and ants retreated south with a lot of food, and the team slowly swam forward like a big snake.
Huai Yam ordered half of the Scarab fighters to search and fly in front, responsible for reconnaissance and road exploration, and if they found the enemy, they could immediately bomb and then report it, "first cut and then play."
The other half flies in close protection in the back. However, the Scarab fighter, which is responsible for the close protection flight, can fly to the front of the team at once, and then to the rear of the team at once. Always fly around the team, not leave the team, and provide close protection to the team.
At about seven o'clock in the evening, the retreating party came to a clearing in front of a ravine.
Huai Yam suddenly remembered the defeat of the "Burning Canyon", and immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing and camp on the spot for the night.
Turn the whole team from a long snake formation into a circular formation, and place the mountain of grain in the array.
In addition, he called back the 1,500 scarabs that had been reconnoitring and probing the way in front, and divided all 3,000 scarabs into 30 patrol teams, each of which was 100 scarabs, and was responsible for patrolling within 100 meters of the large force tonight. Each team flew for a quarter of an hour, and immediately reported the enemy situation.
Scarab fighters who have not flown for the time being can sleep and rest, and the flying team that has completed the patrol mission can wake up the next flying team.
At midnight, a scarab patrol flew to find that countless termites were carrying large and small hay, dead leaves and dry branches, rushing towards the camp of the Huai Yam team from all directions.
The patrol team immediately reported to Huai Yam.
Huai Yam was taken aback, and immediately woke up all the Scarab bombers who were resting and sleeping, and asked them to immediately dispatch the enemy troops around the team to bomb indiscriminately, and make sure that the enemy did not ignite and burn.
Due to the low visibility in the middle of the night, the Scarab fighters could only bomb at low altitudes, so the bombing effect was not ideal.
However, because of the prestige of the Scarab bomber, it still scared away many enemy soldiers.
After about half an hour, after repeated bombardment and intimidation, the enemy finally threw down the dry grass and dead leaves and other incendiary materials and fled with their tails between their legs.
A sinister "burning company camp" was aborted.
After this false alarm, Huai Yam strengthened the patrol of the beetle, and did not dare to slack off.
That night, the enemy never reappeared.
The night faded, and the sky turned from black to blue to light and then to white, and lit up little by little.
After the Scarab plane conducted repeated reconnaissance of the canyon in front of it and did not find the enemy's situation, Huai Yam ordered the team to pass through quickly, not daring to stop in this canyon for half a minute.
It was not until the team had completely passed through the canyon and came to another clearing that they stopped to rest.
In this process, the beetle constantly patrols back and forth to protect, not daring to relax for half a minute, nervous to death, for fear of another "burning canyon".
At noon on the third day, Huai Yam's team finally joined up with the reinforcements of the Golden and Silver Ant Queen.
Seeing that the original army of 1.2 million in front of him had become a defeated general with only more than 40,000 remnants of his armor left, the queen of gold and silver ants was so angry that she gritted her teeth and scolded Huai Yam to the point of blood, crying bitterly.
