For this war, Zhongheng not only prepared sufficient props, but also practiced a variety of tactics to deal with the ant tide of red fire ants, which can be called the "red tsunami".

This is one of them, commonly known as the "line to shoot" platoon gun formation.

Putting up a military formation, you have to use the military formation to fight together in a rapidly changing battle, and the ants can't carry it out. However, it is still possible to indirectly give orders to the ant colony through the "array eye" to keep them still, and to use the military formation to attack and run away.

The method is very simple, through a puppet ant, break it into pieces, first separate a small number of ants from the group, and then give them orders. After the nest is closed, the paver ant and the yellow ant have become a "family", and the yellow ant will regard the paving ant as a compatriot, and will naturally obey the orders of these so-called "array eyes" who have long become puppets.

When the red tide was still ten centimeters away from the military array, on the left side of the first row of the military formation, the paving ants that had been waiting for a long time began to run along the line, raising their dancing tentacles and making contact with the tentacles of the neatly arranged yellow lynx ants in turn, sending out such a message:

"Formic acid attack, then retreat."

"Poof—"

The timing was just right, and when the red fire ants were still 5 centimeters away from this military formation, which was completely worthless compared to their total number, the yellow lynx ants in the first row launched an attack in unison.

The mist of formic acid spreads out and gathers together in a completely one-plus-one greater than two-for-all effect, forming a death barrier. The red fire ants that rushed into it instantly felt difficult to breathe, their bodies were hot, they were unstable on their feet, and they fell from the tree trunk up and down the dumplings.

As the first platoon attacked, then dispersed and retreated into the trees, the heralds of the second platoon began to move, and a second wave of blows followed by the first platoon of spearmen advancing from where they had previously stood

More red fire ants fell like dumplings, and the tiny corpses formed a small landslide on the trunk of the tree, smashing more of their compatriots below. Although the ants weigh very lightly and will not fall to their deaths even if they fall, the scattered red fire ants have no lethality at all, and they are completely harvested by the army on the side of the final balance.

Row after row of blows, the originally semi-liquid and half-foggy formic acid gathered together, and even formed a mist visible to the naked eye, in the mist, as the concentration increased, the formic acid even condensed into droplets, dripping down the bark.

The attacking army of red fire ants was now in bad luck, and they rushed into the mist that was almost equivalent to sarin gas to them, and they suffered heavy losses, not to mention that the droplets formed were no less than boiling oil for them.

The size of the droplet is not large, but the size of the red fire ant is even smaller, a droplet can envelop five or six red fire ants, turn them into amber, and then pull out a dozen centimeters long road to death for the red fire ant masses that almost die if they are contaminated.

The 20-shot platoon directly killed thousands of red fire ants, and the remaining nearly 20,000 red fire ants were also disturbed by the smell of antic acid. They either fell unsteadily on their feet or began to attack their fellow citizens indiscriminately, and once again fell into confusion.

The Red Tide of Death, which terrifies all living beings, has once again been defeated.

When the yellow ants retreated, there was a torrent of more than 5,000 paving ants and more than 200 yellow ants rushing down from the trees.

This time, the red fire ants experienced the taste of being swept away by the sea of people, and they were not good at fighting on the vertical ground and were unable to form an army, and they were swallowed up by the torrent composed of the ant army of the final balance, fighting separately or running in panic, and once again fell into the disadvantage of being slaughtered by one side.

Tiny dark red corpses tumbled off the bark, adding a layer of red-carpeted waste to the roots. In less than a quarter of an hour, there was not a single red fire ant left on the bark, and some of the small flocks of red fire ants under the tree that were not scurrying around or did not keep up with the feet of the large army were also killed by the torrent of paving ants that fell from the sky.

This torrent swept all the way, harvesting the lives of all the remnants of the Red Fire Ant side, and did not stop until it flowed to the battlefield of the rear troops of the bombed Red Fire Ants.

In the second battle, Heng won again, with more than 2,000 losses and nearly 40,000 sappers annihilated by red fire ants, with a battle loss ratio of nearly 1 to 20. So far, in just half an hour, the Red Fire Ant side has lost more than 60,000 troops, more than a quarter of the entire nest strength.

Halfway up the mountain, the final balance, who had won two big wins in a row, fell into a burst of ecstasy and slapped his thigh hard to celebrate.

He never expected that this tactic of lining up to shoot would actually have such a big effect, and the 20 waves of continuous fire caused seven or eight thousand, more than ten times the casualties of his own side to the torrent of red fire ants. At the beginning, because considering that the range of the formic acid of the yellow ant was relatively short, only a few centimeters, Zhong Heng was afraid that the first 400-scale gun array would not be able to stop the torrent of red fire ants dozens or even hundreds of times that of his own, so he specially arranged the second and third lines of defense in a higher place.

Even, he was ready for the first line of defense to retreat and the whole army was annihilated!

"If it is the kind of forest ants in the north that can directly spray large droplets of formic acid to a few tens of centimeters away, and the large swarm can even spew out a white acid mist like a dense fog to repel large animals like black bears, I'm afraid that the same number will be wiped out in one wave if this continues, right?" After listening to the final Heng's report on the battle situation, Xiao Qian on the side said embarrassedly.

"Almost, the formation formed by the yellow lynx ants is only equivalent to a shotgun formation, which is probably equivalent to a salvo from an artillery battalion. I want to have that kind of ants, if not too much, 3,000, and I can get all these pests out to the open ground and destroy them all. Zhong Heng said.

"I'll also consider controlling that kind of ant in the future, but that's all for later, so I won't mention it for now. Let's work hard now, and strive to finish the work at noon and go down the mountain to eat. ”

After the clearance was completed, half of the remaining nearly 3,000 troops returned to the trees, and the remaining half crawled to the nests of the red fire ants, preparing for another wave of such lures. If every action can be as smooth as this one, within four or five times, the final balance can annihilate this nest of red fire ants to the point that there are only a few thousand left, at that time, not to mention that these remnants are no longer to worry, even if they are still threatened, the final balance can also use superpowers to control them and take them for his own use.

The new death squad soon arrived in the heart of the red earth, and quickly annihilated the hundreds of red fire ants that were busy repairing their nests outside with a numerical advantage. Afterwards, they left only 300 of them outside to wait as sentinels, and the rest began to die-like into the ant path that had previously been flooded out by red fire ants.

In the dimly lit passage, except for the occasional sporadic attack from a few dozen dead red fire ants, this place that is claustrophobic enough to be claustrophobic is surprisingly calm.

It's amazing.

After turning around in the crooked ant road for I don't know how many times, and I didn't encounter much large-scale resistance, Zhong Heng suddenly felt a little puzzled.

"Could it be that some ants have come back to report that there is an invincible danger outside, and the whole nest has been moved from the underground passage?" Final Heng thought secretly.

This is the best possible one. Relatively, there is the worst one:

The more than 60,000 that had been annihilated before belonged only to their rudders stationed close to the surface, and the larger armies were still hidden, or blocked deeper underground by the collapsed earth.

"Shouldn't it, the last time the soldiers who controlled them went in to reconnoitre, it showed that these guys didn't have a nest, and the deepest place was only one meter two?" Silently estimating the distance that had been dived, Zhong Heng said to himself, "This is at least 50 centimeters in, why is there no large-scale at all?" ”

The final balance, who was in touch with the target who was controlled by one-on-one control, didn't feel the slightest threat until now, and even through the sensitive vibration sensing ability of the ants, he couldn't feel even the slightest bit of the vibration caused by the large-scale insects gathering together and crawling under the ground.

Perverse, very perverse!

After searching underground for half an hour, he searched almost the entire bottom of the nest, and even when he went down to the bottom of the nest, he found no trace of the existence of large-scale red fire ants. The expedition suffered no losses, except for sporadic attacks by red fire ants, which combined to only one or two hundred, causing dozens of deaths.

Did they really move away? If that's the case, then send a large army down to dig a hole, anyway, this ant road stretches out in all directions I don't know how many meters, I don't know how long it will take to find it. Moreover, even if he found it, in this dim and narrow underground, Final Heng did not consider his poor army to be the opponent of the red fire ants nearly ten times his own.

"Haha, these cowards have run away, I'll take a look...... Well, now at a quarter past 10 o'clock, at the speed of my army of more than 20,000 people, I'm afraid that the evolution fragments and template fragments below will be dug out before noon. After repeatedly confirming that there were no large-scale red fire ants in the nest several times, Zhong Heng breathed a sigh of relief and cut off the connection to the sensory acquisition of a paver ant.

Now he can retain his human vision after gaining the keen senses of ants, but in the dim underground, even the eagle's eyes can't see anything, and he can only rely on the ant's keen sense of vibration to feel the surrounding environment.

He hadn't seen light for more than half an hour, and he suddenly changed his senses back to the hovering wasp, and he was a little uncomfortable for a moment, only to feel that a white light enveloped his eyes, dyeing the world into a white expanse.

"My day, I won't be snow blind, will I?!" The sudden temporary blindness startled Zhong Heng, but he breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the world slowly blur in a snowflake for the next minute or two, and then gradually become clearer.

"It's okay, it's fine."

"You're scared the hell out of me." Xiaoqian said.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's just the contrast of nerve stimulation, and it's not that my body's eyes are stimulated by contrast, it's okay. Seriously, I was also shocked, the next time I didn't stop underground for so long, I would change my vision regularly. Finally Heng smiled as he controlled the wasp to scan the world around him with a clearer look.

Then he saw a scene that broke him.

"Fuck—"
