Chapter 209: The decisive battle is imminent
The current situation is that the original Triple Coalition Army is moving forward, and the current Quadruple Coalition Army is advancing in unison.
Although the enemy's advance is slow now, once they have collected enough food and grass, they will surely speed up, and at that time, the life of the Red Ant Army will not be easy.
That's 18 million menacing enemy troops!
And now there are still many months to go before the beginning of summer, and the Red Ant Army has not yet had a chance to re-establish their "killer weapon" - the Scarab bomber force, what can they do to deal with the powerful enemies of the surrounding countries with super combat effectiveness, scheming and immediate troops coming to the city?
As the days passed, the situation became more and more severe......
Now the commander-in-chief of the Red Ant Empire, "Cordyceps", and his subordinates can be said to be anxious, unable to sleep and eat, and live like a year!
In the evening, the glow is ten thousand roads, and the sky is full of colorful clouds, but unfortunately the good times do not last long.
Suddenly, a scout in charge of exploring the path of the Red Ant Empire's strategic transfer army came back and reported that there was a very wide river more than 1,000 meters ahead (in fact, for humans, it was only a small stream three or four meters wide) blocking the way of the Red Ant army.
The chief of staff of the temporary commander-in-chief "Bear Bile" was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly called the former commander of the Air Force, the current commander of the light pole "Banlangen" (now it does not have a Scarab plane in its hand, and it has become the commander of the light pole again. Lucky for it, last time it was almost trampled to death by the lovelorn aardvark. Inquire about the road to the three city-states of the Soviet Union.
"Banlangen" told the chief of staff of "Bear Bile" that it happened to be blown by a tornado to the vicinity of the three cities of Su last time, and when it came back, it was on a Scarab plane.
Because it was the first time to take this kind of old plane, it was constantly rising and falling, which made it very airsick and uncomfortable, so I didn't pay much attention to the terrain, and now the impression in my mind is relatively vague, and it is estimated that there should be at least two or three rivers.
When the chief of staff of the "bear bile" heard this, he felt that the situation was very serious: there was a big river blocking it in front, and there were pursuing troops approaching in the rear.
We must find a way to cross the river at all costs in order to turn the tide of safety.
In the early morning of the next day, before it was very light, the chief of staff of the "bear bile" hurried towards the big river in front of him with a large group of men......
As the sun was about to set, they finally reached the river.
Looking at the rushing and panting river in front of him, the chief of staff of the "bear bile" and the commander of the "Banlangen" air force, as well as a group of high-ranking generals, were all anxious and at a loss.
There were a few daring daredevils who did not believe in evil, and ran down the river with courage, and in the blink of an eye, they were swept away by the river.
A group of strong soldiers and ants pushed a large rock by the river into the river, and after a while, it was also washed away by the river.
That night, the Red Ant Army Brigade led by the chief of staff of the "Bear Bile" temporarily set up camp by the river.
Two days later, the transfer armies of the Red Ant Empire rushed to the river one after another, and the commander-in-chief "Cordyceps" also arrived.
However, everyone was helpless against the raging river in front of them, and sighed in vain.
Finally, Commander-in-Chief "Cordyceps" presided over an emergency military meeting to discuss the current military situation and study countermeasures.
At the meeting, everyone was silent at first, and the atmosphere in the venue was very dull.
Subsequently, "Cordyceps" forced everyone to speak by name, but each "person" had different suggestions, and each had their own opinions.
Some advocated fighting back, others suggested moving west along the river, and others proposed building fortifications on the spot to fight against the water.
According to the current situation of the Red Ant Army, the commander-in-chief of "Cordyceps" and the chief of staff of "Bear Bile" finally jointly decided to adopt the third plan - a battle against the water.
The reason for this seemingly unreliable plan is that the current army of red ants is hungry and tired, and there is not much food in stock, because they are constantly running away, and there is no time and effort to collect grain and grass, and it is impossible to get rid of the enemy's pursuit.
Therefore, now the army of red ants has reached the most dangerous moment, and it is no longer able to carry out large-scale sports warfare, so it can only be stationed on the spot for defense.
Soon the order was given, half of the men and horses went out to collect grain and grass in the nearby forest, and the other half built fortifications on the spot near the river.
Why build fortifications right next to the river?
Because water is not only important for animals, but also for insects, otherwise, how could there be dragonflies and mosquitoes near the smelly ditch?
Only by controlling the water source can you boost morale and fight for a long time with the Shikoku Alliance.
Although not long ago, the chief of staff of the "bear bile" led the Red Ant Army to achieve a rare victory, which boosted a lot of morale.
However, it has only caused the enemy to lose a little fur, and it has not yet broken the enemy's muscles and bones, the situation is still very serious, and the future of the Red Ant Army is still bleak.
The next battle is the key, and it is about the life-and-death battle between the Red Ant Army and the Red Ant Empire.
Everyone is busy every day, the amount of food, grass and food is increasing day by day, and the fortifications are slowly taking shape day by day.
At present, before the chief of staff and the commander-in-chief of the "bear bile," there is another very thorny and big problem, that is, how to resettle the living and housing problems of nearly 200 million residents.
Although the Red Ant Army has gathered about 20 million regular troops, its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Hun ants and the Yue Monkey ants.
According to preliminary statistics, there are nearly 80 million old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children in the country, and about 120 million workers of various sizes.
After a meeting and study, the commander-in-chief "Cordyceps sinensis" finally decided to select 30 million of the strongest worker ants from the 120 million worker ants as the backbone militia - reserve soldiers, and selected 30 million from the remaining 90 million li to help build fortifications, 30 million to help collect grain, grass and food, and finally 30 million to take care of the 80 million old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children (including housing and food).
In this way, the problems of the livelihood of the residents of the whole country have been solved in a relatively rational way, and the troops have also been able to obtain strong support and have achieved two benefits with one stone.
After hearing the good news, the morale of the Red Ant Army was immediately reinvigorated.
As a result, a vigorous battle to defend the Red Ant Country was launched......
As the pace of war is getting closer and closer, the Red Ant Army has collected more and more grain and grass due to the joining of a large number of worker ants, and it is no longer hungry to work...... The available grain, grass and food for miles in the vicinity have been scavenged and are now expanding into the distance......
The Red Ant Army has also built layers of long and wide (about 800 meters long and 50 meters wide according to human dimensions) fortifications with more than 100 lines of defense along the river, which are now being heightened and further improved.
Such a seemingly perfect fortification made the chief of staff of the "bear bile" feel a little more confident in his heart.
