Chapter 215: Huge harvest, but it is rude not to reciprocate
After ending the battle here, Li Dingguo glanced at the battlefield where corpses were scattered all over the place.
At this time on the battlefield, except for about two thousand of our own soldiers who were gathering the large number of scattered spirit beasts and war horses, the rest of the soldiers on both sides had disappeared.
After killing the Tartars here, most of the soldiers of the Fuxing Army formed a team to hunt down the escaped Tartar remnants.
On such a huge battlefield, with so many soldiers on both sides, and they are all cavalry, it is impossible to kill all the enemies in a head-on encounter.
According to Li Dingguo's guess, about 20% of the Tatar soldiers would successfully take advantage of the chaos to escape from the battlefield and flee for their lives.
The soldiers of the various legions of the Renaissance Army will certainly not let the other side escape successfully. The chase will definitely last for more than several hours.
So far, the Restoration Army has never shown mercy to any alien enemies.
Only dead human aliens are good people.
The more foreign enemies die, the greater the living space for the Han people will have in the future. We can completely relax restrictions and encourage childbirth until Han soldiers and civilians are spread all over the world.
Only then will China’s true heyday arrive.
In the war of races, there is no right or wrong, only life and death. There is no third way.
Even if you want to tolerate temporarily and live in disgrace, wars of genocide will eventually break out between different human ethnic groups.
This is an irreconcilable fundamental contradiction that cannot be changed by human will.
Rather than letting human aliens become uncontrollable in the future, it is better to kill all alien humans we see from now on.
Any saintly behavior and leniency will leave hidden dangers of catastrophic disaster for the future generations of the Chinese people.
"Brother, I will lead the 1,000 soldiers of the Royal Guards here to hunt down the Tartars."
“Even if we can’t catch up with many Tartars, we can still gather a lot of spiritual beasts and horses back, so that those spiritual beasts and horses that are escaping will not run away and become wild horses on the grassland. That would be a waste.”
Wan'er on the side thought about it and then said to Li Dingguo.
"Well, you go."
"Be careful not to run too far, and don't let these two thousand guards disperse."
Of course Li Dingguo would not object to the girl's suggestion.
We have no shortage of spiritual beasts and war horses now, but since we can easily get more, of course the more the better.
More than a year ago, the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong had only a dozen low-grade spirit beasts and war horses. It’s embarrassing just to think about it.
But this is enough to illustrate the scarcity of spiritual beasts and war horses within the Great Wall.
The more of this valuable strategic resource we have in our hands, the better.
During the recent six months of fighting, the soldiers of the Fuxing Army destroyed so many grassland Tatar tribes and gained several small and medium-sized spiritual grass pastures.
New branch bases have now been established near these spiritual grass ranches, and are managed by various reserve recruit camps.
While they are responsible for raising some spirit beasts and war horses that are not used by the main combat legions, they can also ensure that the soldiers in the reserve recruit camps have enough spirit beasts and war horses to train in riding skills.
All warriors and soldiers of the Restoration Army are now not only required to learn how to ride, but they are also beginning to train how to swim.
There are too many large rivers in this world, most of which are so large that they cannot be crossed by human power alone.
Even when marching and fighting on land, it is inevitable to cross the rivers and lakes by boat frequently.
If you are not familiar with water and you encounter a battle with the enemy on one of the big rivers and you get seasick, aren't you asking for death?
The military has ordered that all warriors and soldiers in the army must be familiar with water. This is a mandatory requirement.
If you can't do it, you will have to retire early and join a recruit camp as an instructor, or manage people's livelihood or something like that.
"Da da……"
A moment later, Wan'er led a thousand soldiers from the Royal Guard Battalion and rode away quickly on their spirit beast horses, disappearing without a trace in a moment.
In addition to the five main combat corps of the Renaissance Army, the Royal Guard Battalion has become independent and is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Suzaku Battalion.
The current limit of 3,000 soldiers in the Royal Guard Battalion is already full. Usually, when any one of Li Dingguo, Hongmei, and Wan'er goes to war, they must be accompanied by 1,000 soldiers from the Royal Guard Battalion.
These soldiers of the Royal Guard Battalion are equipped with uniform second-grade top-grade magical weapon sets, which can be compared with any high-grade spiritual weapon sets in the world today.
Every soldier in the Royal Guard Battalion must have at least the second level of martial arts cultivation to be eligible for selection into the Royal Guard Battalion.
Their welfare benefits are one level higher than those of other soldiers of the same rank in the legion.
After Li Dingguo ended the battle here, he did not chase after the fleeing Tatar soldiers, but stayed on the battlefield to help the soldiers recapture some spirit beasts and war horses that were difficult to collect or even resisted.
One of the biggest gains of this battle was the acquisition of more than ten low-grade dragon-scale horses, six medium-grade dragon-scale horses, and two high-grade dragon-scale horses.
The remaining Chahar Tatars who came south in large numbers to attack were still very well stocked with spiritual beasts and war horses.
The number of dragon-scale horses harvested this time was several more than the total number of dragon-scale horses originally possessed by the Restoration Army.
The value of these dragon-scale horses alone is inestimable.
Many small and medium-sized families inside the Great Wall cannot afford even a low-grade dragon-scale horse even if they sell all their property.
No one would be foolish enough to sell this kind of strategic resource, not even the Later Jin Tartars, as they did not have enough for themselves.
About two hours later, the main battlefield here was cleared by the soldiers, and teams of Renaissance Army soldiers returned one after another, driving more or less spirit beasts and war horses, carrying a large amount of spoils.
After another half hour, it was already noon and all the soldiers who had gone to the battle had returned.
Quartermasters and clerks were busy registering all the spoils and recording military merits in real time. Because the logistics battalion was not brought along on this expedition, the soldiers of each main combat corps had to take care of their own lunch.
Under the command of a famous general, the soldiers were happily preparing lunch on their own and were busy.
After the soldiers have eaten and drunk their fill, the army will then move to a den of evil thousands of miles away.
The purpose is naturally to obtain a large number of soul beads, so as to prevent their own treasure ships of various levels from being stranded on the big dock due to the lack of sufficient spiritual energy crystals to use.
This time the army marched north on a long journey and won another great victory with great harvests.
Seeing about 60,000 captured spirit beasts and war horses, the soldiers from all legions were all grinning from ear to ear.
After the victory of this great battle, the number of spiritual beasts and war horses obtained by the soldiers of the Fuxing Army was greater than that of any other major force in the Ming Dynasty, including the Ming royal family.
These 60,000 or so horses are spiritual beasts and war horses of various levels. If they were placed inside the Great Wall, they would be a huge fortune, which cannot even be described as priceless.
"Brother, was Fan Yongdou, the head of the Jin Merchants, really killed by Dahei using his suddenly awakened innate magical power?"
Wan'er and Hongmei were sitting on the grass next to Li Dingguo. Wan'er was eating barbecue and asked with oil dripping from her mouth.
"Of course it's true. After Dahei awakened his innate magical power, his fighting power is too strong."
Li Dingguo answered casually while eating a roasted thigh of a three-colored golden-feathered chicken, a kind of exotic bird.
On the bonfire here, there are several first-level demon birds, three-colored brocade chickens, roasting. They were shot by Wan'er on her way back from chasing the enemy.
In the Dongtao Plain, there are many low-level groups of demon birds and beasts.
This time, the Fuxing Army made a long-distance raid and did not bring the soldiers from the logistics battalion with them, so the soldiers had to provide all their own meals.
On this battlefield where the battle had ended, next to the burning bonfires everywhere, there were all kinds of wild beasts or monsters hunted by the soldiers, who were happily grilling them as food for this dinner.
Among the prey, there were many tri-color brocade-feathered chickens hunted by soldiers.
The most abundant food on the scene was the astonishing number of hares that existed on the prairie.
"Dahei, how did you awaken your innate magical power in advance?"
Wan'er asked Dahei who was leisurely eating spiritual herbs and beans nearby, "You can't keep it to yourself. You must teach Baixue and Xiaoxue about this experience."
"You are all top-grade dragon-scale horses. With the help of the Five-Colored Sacred Tree, you have obtained the same bloodline upgrade. Bai Xue and Xiao Xue should also be able to awaken their innate magical powers in advance. They don't necessarily have to become top-level spirit beasts of level five."
“Wheeze…”
Dahei neighed proudly a few times, then nodded his big head to indicate that he understood.
Even if Wan'er didn't mention it, it would teach the two mares, Baixue and Xiaoxue, about its experience of awakening its innate magical powers.
This will be its good partner in the future and cannot be treated unfairly.
"Brother Dingguo."
Hongmei and Wan'er, each holding a large spiritual fruit pear and eating it, said to Li Dingguo, "The death of the great Jin merchant Fan Yongdou, and even the more than 100 core family servants and guards he brought with him, have all died. This will temporarily reduce a lot of trouble for us."
"Once they expose the actual situation of our army, it will inevitably attract many powerful forces to specifically target our Renaissance Army."
"If we had allowed Fan Yongdou to escape earlier, he would have tried every possible means to persuade Huang Taiji to send a main force from Liaodong to attack us from a long distance in order to strangle our army."
"Fortunately, Fan Yongdou had bad luck. Not only did he not run away on the big black eagle at the first opportunity, but he let the big black eagle expose his location. Brother Dingguo found him immediately and successfully hunted him down!"
She glanced at the huge corpse of the black eagle not far away, and then said, "According to our intelligence personnel who sent back from the interior, there are still a few fourth-level black eagle spirit birds in the Fan family."
"This fourth-level spirit bird is a huge threat to our army. If we have the chance in the future, we need to kill them all first."
"Otherwise, under the investigation of these four-level spirit birds, most of the secrets of our Renaissance Army base will be revealed to the other side."
"Some key figures in the Fan family definitely knew that Fan Yongdou came to the Dongtao Plain this time."
"If we wait for a while and he still hasn't led those core servants and guards back to the Fan family, as long as the Fan family members are not stupid, they will guess that something has happened to them."
"The big troubles we are going to face will come one after another, and they will be too much to bear."
"The four-level black eagles of the Fan family will definitely be dispatched, which will be quite difficult for us."
Hongmei's concerns are not groundless and will most likely come true in the near future.
"Humph!"
Li Dingguo heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, "This passive counterattack mode will soon be far away from our Fuxing Army!"
"I've already thought about it. After the golden eagle has finished hatching its offspring and has recovered to its peak condition, I will ride it south through the customs and wipe out the Fan family's old nest in Jiexiu City!"
"In three months at most, I should be able to successfully break through to the initial stage of the fifth level of martial arts!"
"With the magical assistance of the five-colored sacred tree, if the two of you also break through to the initial stage of level five, you can ride the big golden eagle south with me, go straight to the Jiexiu Fan family's nest, and wipe out their base camp in one fell swoop!"
"It's impolite not to reciprocate. I, Li Dingguo, have never been a person who would not fight back when being beaten!"
"No matter how others target me, I will never hesitate to retaliate double the amount now that I have the ability!"
Always passively taking a beating is not Li Dingguo's style.
Li Dingguo's nature is to take the initiative and strike the enemy's weak spot, delivering a fatal blow.
In the past, I didn’t have enough strength, so I could only endure it temporarily. I felt aggrieved and there was nothing I could do.
As long as about three months pass, he will have the confidence to double his revenge on his enemies.
