Chapter 428: Weeding must be done at the root, the genius boy Zheng Chenggong
"Commander-in-chief, the enemy ship is about to land!"
Liao Yunfei, deputy commander of the First Fleet, pointed to the large dock ahead and said to Li Dingguo, "After such a long period of uninterrupted attacks, the main force of the Zheng family army has become an exhausted army."
"Although the remaining soldiers of the Zheng family army defending Yuegang have discovered the arrival of our army, they did not know the specific military situation in advance. They are probably confused now. They have no idea that the fleet following their main fleet of the Zheng family army back to Yuegang will be our Fuxing Army fleet."
"We should take advantage of their unpreparedness and attack them when they are least prepared. When our army forms a battle formation and attacks them, there will be something interesting to watch."
The Fuxing Army has been carrying out harassing attacks on Zheng's fleet at sea for more than a month, and this is certainly not out of boredom.
The strategy of tiring out the army is the stated purpose, but the real purpose is today's decisive battle.
In such a large-scale decisive battle, any weakness of the enemy will be greatly magnified, not to mention the main force of the Zheng family army which has already been exhausted by their own side.
The most obvious advantage of the Fuxing Army is that its commanders Li Dingguo and Wan'er can create a crushing advantage over the main generals of the Zheng family army.
The spirit, energy and vitality of a sixth-level practitioner and a fifth-level peak practitioner are completely on a different level.
Although the Fuxing Army also experienced more than a month of continuous attacks on the Zheng Army, without allowing the soldiers to get enough rest, Li Dingguo and Wan'er, who were in charge of the military killing formation, were both mid-level sixth-level strongmen, and their spirit was far superior to that of the generals of the Zheng Army.
In addition, Li Dingguo carried with him a large amount of various elixirs, which could quickly restore the spirits of his soldiers.
In Wan'er's natal artifact, the Herb Map, a huge amount of spiritual herbs and roots have now been planted, cultivated and propagated, which are enough to supply the entire army with medicinal soups such as qi and blood soup and nourishing spirit soup.
Unlike the exhausted soldiers of the Zheng family army's main fleet, the soldiers of the Fuxing Army are now in peak condition and have not been dragged down by the pursuit battle that lasted for more than a month.
"Wu Yu, Liao Yunfei!"
Li Dingguo ordered Wu Yu and Liao Yunfei in front of him, "In the next decisive battle, let the soldiers of the Second Fleet be responsible for the ship seizure operation!"
"Your First Fleet will participate in the landing operations. Wan'er, Liang Liping, and He Lijing will each lead a 100,000-man force, form a military killing formation, and attack as soon as possible!"
"I will personally lead the two golden eagles to launch an indiscriminate attack on the enemies in Yuegang City from the air, disrupting their defense arrangements to reduce the pressure of this battle."
The flagship treasure ship he was on was located at the forefront of the Restoration Army's fleet, only ten miles away from the large dock ahead, and could clearly observe the situation in the Yuegang dock area.
As for the Zheng family garrison in Yuegang, which was currently underprepared, Li Dingguo naturally knew that this was a great opportunity, an opportunity to completely destroy the Zheng family army.
Following his order, the soldiers of the Restoration Army immediately took action.
The soldiers, who had been on high alert for a long time, quickly took action after Li Dingguo's order was issued.
Three military killing formations consisting of 100,000 soldiers, led by Wan'er, Liang Liping and He Lijing, activated their magical powers and transformed into huge phantoms of mythical beasts. They raised their heads and roared, then leaped over the waves and rushed towards the large dock ahead!
They even reached the Yuegang Wharf earlier than the returning main fleet of Zheng's army, and the enemy warriors who stayed on the opposite shore started a massacre mode!
The soldiers of the Second Fleet who were responsible for staying on the treasure ships manipulated the thousands of psychic cannons on their own 600-strong treasure ships and once again launched a concentrated fire attack that had been stagnant for a month towards the main fleet of the Zheng family army that was approaching the shore ahead.
This long-planned critical strike mode not only completely disrupted the response strategy agreed upon by the three brothers of the Zheng family, but also caused serious casualties to the remaining soldiers of the Zheng family army entrenched in Yuegang!
"boom!"
"Boom!"...
The psychic artillery attack by the Restoration Army's great fleet, fired at full force, was far more powerful than any previous attack.
This was an unreserved firepower output. Each round of ten waves of salvos consisted of thousands of psychic shells, which continuously bombarded the Zheng family army's fleet, making the defensive light shields that protected the formations on those treasure ships shaky.
Such fierce fire coverage not only prevented the soldiers on the other side's treasure ship from trying to land at the big pier, but also made their attempt to counterattack the Fusion Army fail!
Since the distance between the two treasure ships was still more than fifteen miles, the psychic cannons on the Zheng family army's treasure ship could not effectively reach the Fuxing Army's treasure ship, so they could not fire back.
They wanted to get their own treasure ship close to the Fusion Army fleet, but the fleet's speed was a flaw, so they could only watch helplessly.
"It's over!"
"Li Dingguo has been setting traps all along, just to make our army return to Yuegang's base, and then encircle and annihilate our Zheng family army in one fell swoop!"
At this time, Zheng Zhilong had completely reacted. He was no longer aware of the enemy's true purpose, and he screamed with a pale face.
The problem was that the Zheng army had been successfully trapped by Li Dingguo and had become an exhausted army. They were unable to form a formation and launch a counterattack, and were unable to break through the enemy fleet's defense formation in the rear on the sea.
All the enemy's treasure ships were firing at full power, and the massive force of their attack was no joke.
Even if the soldiers of the Zheng family army relied on the military killing formation and the protection of their own divine artifacts to temporarily protect themselves from the fierce enemy fire, it was impossible for them to break the protective formation of the enemy fleet's treasure ship in the rear under the heavy fire within one or two hours.
The most terrible thing is that the three military killing arrays of the Renaissance Army have bypassed their own fleet, landed and launched an attack on their own Yuegang base!
Because the two level six spirit birds of the Renaissance Army had been blocking the sky and preventing the Zheng family army's fleet from communicating with the outside world, the soldiers who stayed behind in their own nest, Yuegang, were not fully prepared at all.
As the three Zheng brothers observed with their divine senses, countless bloody storms were rapidly spreading throughout the huge Moon Harbor!
Almost every moment, a large number of Zheng's army soldiers who stayed behind were killed, which made the three brothers Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao so angry that their eyes were bloodshot!
This is the foundation that the three brothers have accumulated over more than ten years. Once it is destroyed by the enemy, what future will their Zheng family army have?
"Zheng Cai, Zheng Xing!"
In the blink of an eye, Zheng Zhilong realized that the Zheng family army was in danger of extinction. He could no longer care about so much and hurriedly ordered, "You two lead 300,000 soldiers to stay on the treasure ship and try your best to block the attack of the Fuxing Army fleet in the rear!"
"All the remaining soldiers, immediately form three military killing formations, and follow the three of us to launch a massive counterattack against the Restoration Army that has already landed!"
"It's life or death, this is the time!"
Under the current circumstances, we have no choice but to fight hard.
The soldiers of the Fuxing Army led by Li Dingguo have made it clear that they want to destroy the Zheng family once and for all. You can't just fight back if you don't want to.
Judging from what the other side has done, it is clear that they have no intention of surrendering and are determined to wipe out Zheng's army.
This is indeed the case. For pirates like Zheng's army who are used to being rampant, it is extremely difficult to reform them even after they surrender, and there is a great possibility that they will turn against us at any time in the future.
In this case, it would be better to completely annihilate Zheng’s army.
Anyway, the future expansion of the military forces of the Restoration Navy will not be short of money or manpower, so there is no need to accept the surrender of pirates.
Since the Zheng family army attacked from the north, Li Dingguo had no intention of letting this maritime hegemon go. The best way to eliminate hidden dangers is to annihilate them all.
Since its establishment, the Fuxing Army will not absorb such ambitious people and will not allow such huge hidden dangers to exist in the army.
"hold head high!"……
A moment later, the three brothers Zheng Zhilong each led 150,000 soldiers, formed a military killing formation, and activated the killing formation's magical power to transform into three silver dragons over 600 feet in size. They shot out from the Zheng family fleet near the big pier, and rushed towards the three military killing formations of the Fuxing Army that were sweeping around the Yuegang shore. The two sides immediately started a life-and-death battle!
As soon as the decisive battle began, Li Dingguo quickly jumped onto the back of the Jin beast waiting on the side.
"Chirp..."
After learning of his master's intentions, Da Jin knew that he could go on a killing spree this time and engage in a bullying-style battle. He neighed excitedly and soared into the sky with Da Meng beside him, turning into a golden stream of light and arriving above the huge Yuegang City in the blink of an eye.
This fortress city, the Zheng family's old nest and base, was built by the sea and covered an area of dozens of miles.
Although its area is equivalent to that of a medium to large town in the Ming Dynasty, its tall city walls are dozens of feet high, which is not inferior to the city walls of Jinan.
This dark blue city wall is made entirely of thousand-pound basalt blocks. It is extremely strong and can withstand attacks from hundreds of psychic cannons without being damaged.
However, in the world of cultivators, the solidity and height of the city walls is not a reflection of defensive power, but depends on the power of the city defense formation.
The Yuegang City built by Zheng's army was a private building and had not been granted a title by the imperial court. It did not possess the aura of the Ming Dynasty and therefore did not have an official city defense formation.
This is also the reason why the Zheng family built the city wall of Yuegang City so high.
East City, near the big pier, is the main residence of the Zheng family.
The main residence of the Zheng family, which is about ten miles in radius, is magnificent and is no less magnificent than a prince's palace.
As for whether this will exceed the limit?
This issue was not within the consideration of the three Zheng brothers.
Yuegang City is like the Zheng family's kingdom, where only Zheng family soldiers, relatives, and servants live, with no outsiders.
Li Dingguo's primary target of attack was the Zheng family's main residence in the city.
The purpose is nothing else but to eradicate the roots.
Li Dingguo knew very well that the Zheng family was the last major force that did not belong to the Qing Dynasty and had persisted after the demise of the Ming Dynasty in established history. The fortune of this family must not be underestimated.
If you don't kill the snake, you will suffer from it.
Since the other party has become the sworn enemy of the Fusion Army, he will naturally not show mercy.
Since there was no city defense formation to block their advance, the two golden eagles, following Li Dingguo's orders, began to act separately.
Da Jin and Li Dingguo himself were responsible for the large-scale cleanup operation in Yuegang City.
Da Meng is responsible for patrolling in the sky and hunting any spiritual birds that dare to fly into the sky.
Li Dingguo would not forget the six level five bald eagles he found over the Zheng family's fleet. Naturally, he would not give them a chance to escape, or even run away with the core members of the Zheng family.
It is inevitable to let a group of level six spirit birds block the sky of Yuegang.
"Dong dong..."
The moment the Great Jin flew to the main residence of the Zheng family in Yuegang City, Li Dingguo's mind moved, and the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell flashed out from the sea of mind, turning into a deafening bell hundreds of feet in size, and then rang continuously.
The sound of bells that penetrated the souls of the living swept towards all directions of the city!
Everyone in the Zheng family mansion who encountered the sudden attack had no time to react, let alone form a military formation to protect themselves. Naturally, they could not stop Li Dingguo, who had reached the middle stage of level six, from activating the group attack power of his innate artifact, the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell, which had already released seven seals.
"An enemy is coming!"
"puff!"
"ah!"……
How fast do the sound waves generated by the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell spread?
When everyone in the Zheng family mansion just discovered the enemy, the pervasive bell sound had already swept in, and their souls were instantly destroyed. Like being mowed, groups of them bled from all seven orifices and died on the spot.
In just a blink of an eye, as waves of bells swept through, the Zheng family members in the East City area faced a devastating disaster!
"This is……"
In the back garden of the Zheng family's main residence, a boy who was less than ten years old looked at the clan members around him who suddenly fell dead on the spot in a daze, with horror on his little face.
He could never have imagined that the seemingly impregnable Zheng family main city would suddenly be invaded by a powerful enemy.
The reason why this young man was not killed by the sound waves was not only because he had just broken through to the fourth level and awakened his star destiny.
The main reason was because of the red ribbon, his innate divine weapon, which automatically flashed above his head to protect his master.
This young man was Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Chenggong, who was brought back from Japan by his father last year and was scheduled to be sent to Nanjing City this autumn to become a disciple of Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party.
His natal divine weapon, the Hun Tian Ling, was obtained by chance in a fortuitous encounter not long ago.
This Hun Tian Ling is not bad. It is an innate top-grade artifact with great power. It has the power to turn rivers and seas upside down. It can play a huge role in naval battles.
If his cultivation level was not low and he was not too young, if he had been led by Zheng Zhilong to the north to attack the Fuxing Army this time, he would undoubtedly have provided great assistance to the Zheng family fleet.
Once this innate divine weapon, which is most suitable for naval battles, is unleashed, it can stir up huge waves thousands of feet high and easily overturn the enemy's treasure ships. The threat it poses to the Renaissance Army can be imagined.
Especially since Zheng Chenggong had great luck, he had somehow unlocked the five seals on his natal magic weapon. Even with his cultivation at the early stage of Qi Refining, the power he exerted could not be underestimated.
Unfortunately, Zheng Chenggong was in bad luck today. He was attacked by Li Dingguo, who was more powerful than him in terms of luck. He was doomed to be miserable.
