And then, just as quickly as the army appear out of nowhere, they temporarily completely disappear.

When Caesar manages to blow up the fuel silo (and the rest of the base somehow just explodes randomly in response), despite being shot by that a-hole Preacher, we see some wide shots of the base blowing up from the escaped apes' perspective.

And somehow, in the few seconds it takes to see those explosive shots, the army that was just about to over-run the main gate completely disappear. They come back, obviously, just in time to be smushed hilariously by an avalanche, but they were presumably too costly to digitally add in for those exploding shots.
