Chapter 376: The Tartars suffered a great defeat, and a new round of plans was launched
"Mang Gurtai!"
"Shuotuo!"
Yue Tuo was anxious. Seeing that the current battle situation was extremely unfavorable to his side, he hurriedly shouted to the two people who were leading a team of soldiers nearby to prepare for a counterattack, "If this continues, none of our remaining soldiers will be able to escape!"
"The large fleet of the Renaissance Army in Lingshan Island Harbor has come out to pursue us!"
He looked at the large number of treasure ships that were rushing out from the protective formation of Lingshan Island, and he was so anxious that smoke seemed to be coming out of his head.
Once hundreds of enemy treasure ships arrive, they can use the advantage of concentrated fire to easily break the protective magic array shields of the remaining six high-quality treasure ships and one top-quality treasure ship. It is not impossible for the entire army to be wiped out by then.
Our side could not defeat the military killing array led by Li Dingguo in a frontal battle, and if we used the treasure ships to fight back, we would be no match for them.
"The only way for us to survive now is to abandon the ship and dive out of Lingshan Bay."
Yuetuo knew very well that this time he had failed, and it was a miserable defeat.
It would be impossible to escape by controlling the remaining treasure ships. Even if one used the military killing formation to break out of the enemy's encirclement, one would not be able to escape far.
Lingshan Bay is so large that if the Later Jin soldiers formed a military killing formation, even if there was no enemy chasing them, they could only sail on the sea for a few hundred miles at most.
Besides, how could the Fuxing Army led by Li Dingguo just watch their own side escape?
With Li Dingguo's sixth-level cultivation level and the sixth-level golden eagle, how easy would it be for their side to escape successfully?
The only way to survive is to jump into the sea and escape.
Having already had this experience once, Yue Tuo was naturally familiar with escaping by jumping into the sea.
That unforgettable experience happened to happen on Lingshan Island.
Although using the same old tricks again may make people feel very aggrieved, isn't there another way?
As for these great humiliations, I will take revenge on them when I have the chance in the future.
"Jump into the sea and escape?"
"This……"
Manggurtai and Shuotuo, who had been thinking of fighting a life-and-death battle with the Restoration Army, were stunned when they heard this.
Fortunately, the two of them were not stupid and they immediately sent a message to Yuetuo to let him agree with this decision.
There is no way. The Fuxing Army led by Li Dingguo himself now has too great an advantage.
Not only is the strength of the enemy's fleet far greater than ours, but their actual combat effectiveness is also far greater than that of the remaining soldiers on our side.
Especially since the blood and physical strength of the Later Jin soldiers have not fully recovered after the recent battle, they are at the end of their strength and cannot defeat the enemy no matter what.
"Whoosh!"
Seeing that the soldiers were ready, Yuetuo cast a grim look at the dark yellow bell that was violently attacking the treasure ship, picked up a spiritual spear, and threw it towards the central node of the treasure ship's protective formation.
"Oh!"
With an explosive sound, the protective magic circle on this top-grade treasure ship was destroyed and the protective light shield disappeared immediately!
At the same time, the protective magic array on the two high-quality treasure ships where Shuotuo and Manggurtai were located was instantly destroyed.
"go!"
Yue Tuo immediately shouted loudly and activated the military killing formation composed of 30,000 Sauron dead soldiers and 100,000 Tartar soldiers!
After the killing array was activated, the blood and smoke that suddenly rose up enveloped all the soldiers. The soldiers' figures disappeared immediately, and only the shadow of a giant wolf about five hundred feet in size remained in its place.
"Roar!"
The giant wolf's phantom roared, sending out wind blades, and fought hard with the incoming dark yellow bell. Then, with the help of the shock wave caused by the fight between the two sides, it flew backwards out of the top-quality treasure ship and quickly dived into the sea.
Manggurtai and Shuotuo, who had been prepared nearby, performed the same operation as Yuetuo.
They also used the magical power of the killing array after it was activated, and after fighting hard with the military killing array led by Wan'er and Xiao Shitou, they took advantage of the moment when they were knocked back by the shock wave caused by the fight between the two sides, left the treasure ship they were on, and dived into the sea!
"Hmph! Want to escape?"
"It's not that easy!"
Li Dingguo looked at him with a grim look as he manipulated his own divine weapon, the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell, whose power had been increased dozens of times by the military killing formation, and launched a series of sonic attacks with all his strength!
Even the newly unlocked ability of this innate divine weapon to suppress time and space was used, sweeping towards the sea where the three Tatar armies disappeared!
"Dong dong..."
Under the power of the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell that Li Dingguo activated with all his strength, the sea water in that area suddenly solidified, as if time had stopped for a moment!
In just this instant, the military killing formation led by Yuetuo, Shuotuo and Manggurtai was forced to lose its defensive function for a moment.
The pervasive sound of the bell even caused the water in that area to explode!
Countless Tartar soldiers had just entered the water and had no time to rejoice in their escape before their souls were destroyed by the pervasive sound of the bell, and they died on the spot with blood gushing from all their seven orifices!
The remaining small number of Tartar soldiers were so frightened that they began to sneak towards the deep water desperately in order to avoid the incredible and magical sound wave attack.
There was no way they couldn't help but be afraid. This kind of sonic attack that could suppress time and space was truly chilling.
They had never seen such an outrageous magical attack in their lives, and they were all frightened.
Even Yuetuo, Shuotuo and Manggurtai, three level five peak powerhouses, were no exception.
"Dong dong..."
With Li Dingguo's full efforts, the continuous bell sounds swept towards this sea area wave after wave, until his divine sense sensed that the soldiers who made up the army formation had consumed most of their physical strength and blood energy, and it was not appropriate for them to continue the attack, so they stopped.
He manipulated the military killing formation to return to the empty enemy treasure ship nearby. After disbanding the military formation, he saw countless Tartar corpses emerging from the sea.
The bodies of these Tartar soldiers who died in such a miserable way floated on the sea for a while, and then were submerged by the surging waves and disappeared.
The number of Tartar soldiers who were killed in the sea by the sound waves of the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell should be more than 200,000.
In addition, it is very dangerous for the Tatar soldiers to escape by diving. According to conservative estimates, the number of Tatar soldiers who can successfully escape this time will not exceed 100,000.
In this round, the two sides fought several battles. Among the 800,000 elite Tatar cavalry, 100,000 firearms battalions and 100,000 naval officers and soldiers, Yuetuo led an army of one million. No more than 100,000 people survived. It was definitely an unprecedented defeat.
The losses were even greater than those of the million-strong army led by Huang Taiji himself.
The Western Route Army led by Huang Taiji managed to escape nearly 200,000 people, which was much luckier than Yuetuo's Western Route Army.
Li Dingguo knew the main reason for this was that Huang Taiji's great luck in winning or losing was much stronger than that of the Tartar generals on Yuetuo's side.
In fact, the battle situation that Huang Taiji encountered was even more dangerous. If Yuetuo had led the western army to attack the Fuxing Army in Qin, he might have been completely wiped out, and there would have been no hope of saving nearly 200,000 soldiers and escaping outside the Great Wall.
"Swoosh!" At this time, Wan'er also manipulated the military killing formation and returned to a nearby high-quality treasure ship. After disbanding the military formation, she ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and then leaped to Li Dingguo.
"Brother, we won this battle too easily!"
Wan'er was very happy and shouted to Li Dingguo, "It's a pity that Yuetuo and Manggurtai escaped again, and the mission was not completed."
Having defeated the legendary and vicious million-strong Tartar army one after another, Wan'er is now extremely happy.
"Ha ha……"
Li Dingguo also felt relaxed and refreshed. He chuckled and said, "Although they escaped by diving, they may not be able to escape death this time."
"I have already ordered Dajin, Dameng, Daqing, Xiaoqing and others to search for the traces of the Tartars who escaped by diving on the islands in all directions and along the coastline of Lingshan Bay."
"As long as they are discovered by the Jin when they come ashore, most of the Tartar soldiers will still die!"
"Those who escaped to the shore will not be able to withstand the attacks of the top spiritual birds like Dajin. They will most likely perish in the Lingshan Bay area of Jiaozhou."
Now, nearly 100,000 Tartar soldiers have escaped, including top level five masters such as Yuetuo, Shuotuo and Manggurtai. If we do not send Dajin, Dameng and the two big goshawks to hunt them down, it will inevitably affect many Han people and make them suffer unexpected disasters.
Naturally, Li Dingguo would not sit idly by and watch this happen. After the battle had just ended, he used his divine sense to send a message to the four top spirit birds of the Great Jin, ordering them to search for and hunt down the remnants of the Tartars in all directions and not give them the opportunity to do evil.
"That's how it should be done!"
Wan'er felt relieved after hearing this and said with a smile, "I guess with the Great Jin's separate pursuit, those surviving Tartar soldiers, even if they can successfully escape to shore, will find it difficult to escape the Great Jin's high-altitude patrols."
"How can the exhausted Tartar soldiers be a match for the Great Jin? Most of them may be killed."
"If Yuetuo and Manggurtai were unlucky, they might even be killed on the spot by the Jin Dynasty!"
Although the situation she described is unlikely to happen, it does not mean it will not happen.
At this time, Liang Liping and Wei Ying, who had just arrived with their own large fleet, ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield as quickly as possible, collect the six high-quality treasure ships and one top-quality treasure ship left by the enemy, and clean them up thoroughly.
Seven more precious treasure ships were obtained, which increased the strength of the navy of the Restoration Army by more than 10%.
The navy that is about to be expanded will also have enough large treasure ships to use, which can be regarded as a considerable gain in this battle.
Through this round of fighting with Yuetuo's army, the Fuxing Army acquired a large number of treasure ships of various levels, which was very beneficial for the subsequent battles.
"The Commander-in-Chief."
Seeing that their side easily defeated the Tatar army led by Yue Tuo, Liang Liping smiled happily and said, "Now that the threat from the Tatars has been eliminated, it's time for us to start the large-scale expansion mode and capture the two states of Deng and Lai in one fell swoop."
"With the momentum of a great victory, together with the hundreds of thousands of new recruits, our army will be divided into multiple routes and advance by land and sea. In at most half a year, we will be able to capture the entire Denglai region!"
Today, the government troops in Deng and Lai states are in disarray. What Liang Liping said is the truth, without any exaggeration.
"Yes! Commander in chief."
Wei Ying said, "After defeating the million-strong Tatar army from the east, the morale of the soldiers is high. It is time for us to launch a major expansion."
"Once we occupy the two states of Denglai, the more than one billion people there will be at our disposal, completely solving our army's current urgent population shortage problem."
"In the past two years, we have trained hundreds of thousands of civilian personnel and hundreds of thousands of craftsmen."
"We have enough reserve personnel to capture the two states of Denglai."
These two have not been idle in the past two years.
Two years ago, before Li Dingguo left Lingshan Island and returned to the outside of the Great Wall, he left behind a detailed development plan.
The Lingshan Island Military and Political Department, headed by Liang Liping and Wei Ying, has strictly followed the development plan formulated by Li Dingguo. Not only has it developed and utilized various medium and large islands along the coast of Jiaozhou Bay to create a complete living area, but it has also trained nearly one million warriors and built tens of thousands of large farms covering tens of thousands of acres.
Thanks to the protective formation and the spirit gathering formation that Li Dingguo had set up in the early stages, they were spared the impact of natural disasters and had a huge harvest of various grains.
These stored food and other supplies are enough for the Renaissance Army to complete this round of military operations to capture the two states of Deng and Lai.
"You are right, but we are not in a hurry to capture Denglai and Lai states for the time being."
Li Dingguo thought for a moment and decided, "Although we defeated Yuetuo's army and freed the people of Qi and Lu from the huge threat posed by the Tatars, the Ming Dynasty is still fighting a great war with the brothers Dorgon and Duoduo, and has not yet ended this round of fighting with the Tatars."
"Although we are completely opposed to the Ming Dynasty, it is not appropriate to start a war at the moment. We should wait until Huang Taiji leads the remaining Tartar soldiers out of the pass."
"We should not waste precious time now. It is still feasible to divide our troops into multiple groups and capture the entire Jiaozhou area first."
"Given the situation in Jiaozhou, it will take our army at most one month to completely occupy it."
"This time, the operation to capture Jiaozhou will be carried out by Xiao Shitou, Liang Liping, and Wei Ying, and you three will lead the soldiers."
"Wan'er and I will personally lead a large fleet southward, preparing to launch a long-range attack on the Fuqing Ye family and wipe out their lair in one fell swoop!"
He was filled with anger towards the Ye family, to which Ye Xianggao belonged, and decided to take advantage of the free time in these few months to eliminate them.
It has to be said that the Fuqing Ye family's strong support for the Later Jin Tartars this time really disgusted Li Dingguo.
Since the other party was so eager to die, Li Dingguo didn't mind wiping out the Ye family's Fuqing lair in advance.
Although he and Wan'er, with four top-level spirit birds, went to the Ye family in Fuqing together, they could still destroy it.
But in this case, even though he carried the Human Emperor Cauldron, a space artifact, with him, it could not hold so many spoils.
Not to mention anything else, the remaining large treasure ships of the Ye family cannot be accommodated by the Human Emperor Cauldron.
As a regent for three dynasties and the leader of the Donglin Party, Ye Xianggao must have accumulated a huge amount of wealth and materials. Even now, with the Human Emperor Cauldron, which is 48 meters in diameter, it is impossible to store all of them.
It would be fine if we didn't have the ability, but since we have the most powerful fleet in the Ming Dynasty, it would be a shame not to pack up and take away those huge amounts of wealth and supplies.
This moment, that moment.
Just like before, after destroying the old house of the Fan family in Jiexiu, the experience of not being able to take away the massive amount of wealth and materials was enough once.
