Chapter 251 The Current Situation of the Dongtao Plain, Wan'er's Surprise and Decision
The setting sun was as red as blood, hanging high in the sky, illuminating the surrounding clouds with red.
Under the setting sun, the Ikhyn tribe on the west shore of the Great Salt Lake was in a mess with corpses strewn all over the ground.
Countless soldiers of the Restoration Army, dressed in black clothes and armor, had just finished the battle and were now, under the command of clerks and generals at all levels, cleaning up the battlefield, registering military merits, and documenting all the spoils of war.
"Wan'er!"
A female general riding a big black eagle landed in the temple area of the Tatar tribe and shouted to Wan'er, who was holding a pair of big hammers and intimidating a high-quality dragon-scale horse that had just been seized.
Since Li Dingguo was not here, it became very difficult to subdue these captured dragon-scale horses.
Wan'er had no choice but to pick up the Lei Gu Weng Jin Chui and go to reason with them.
Is there any dragon scale horse who is dissatisfied?
Just beat them into submission.
As one of the three dominant tribes on the Dongtao Plain, the Yijin tribe has a large number of spiritual beasts and war horses, more than 100,000 in total.
Among them, there are more than a hundred dragon-scale horses.
Under Hongmei's tactics of sudden attack from the central army and encirclement on all sides, not only did the Tatar soldiers and civilians here have nowhere to escape, but even the spirit beasts and war horses were the same. Basically, all of them were captured by the four spirit beast legions and the royal guard legion of the Fuxing Army.
After a series of major battles, Hongmei has become an outstanding commander, able to master all kinds of tactics with ease and without any flaws.
This was proven by the successive victories over the Holo and Yijin tribes.
It can be said that even if the famous generals Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou from the interior were to command these two battles, the best result would probably be this.
The person who came to see Wan'er now was none other than the Minister of Military Intelligence Wei Jinfan.
In recent months, Wei Jinfan has been stationed on the island in the middle of the lake, the headquarters of the Fuxing Army, and living on the island with three big black eagle chicks that were brought back to her by Wan'er from the Fan family's old house in Jiexiu after they were subdued by Li Dingguo.
It was not until this time, after Wei Jinfan saw the magic of the five-colored sacred tree, that she realized why Li Dingguo had specifically emphasized that no one except her, Chang Liyun, Wan'er, Hongmei, and Cao Yongxiang was allowed to go onto the island in the middle of the lake.
The three spiritual eagle chicks quickly became familiar with the two little golden eagles, and naturally roosted on the huge five-colored sacred tree day and night.
Because they absorbed a large amount of special life energy that was constantly emitted by the Five-Colored Sacred Tree, the bloodlines of these three little eagles were upgraded and mutated, and they grew very fast, changing almost every day.
After only about three months, it had grown into a big black eagle weighing more than 100 kilograms!
They have even broken through to the early stage of level 4 spirit beasts, and their combat power cannot be underestimated.
After their bloodline mutation and upgrade, it would not be surprising if they could easily break through and become level five spirit birds in the future.
The three little eagles have changed so much that the two golden eagles, Da Meng and Xiao Jin, will naturally not stand still.
Today, the two golden eagles, Da Meng and Xiao Jin, weigh more than two hundred kilograms. Their cultivation has also broken through to the peak of the fourth-level spirit birds. They are only one step away from breaking through to become fifth-level spirit birds.
It is estimated that within two months, we can take this crucial step.
However, Da Meng and Xiao Jin have already recognized Wan'er and Hongmei as their masters respectively, so naturally they would not be willing to be ridden by Wei Jinfan.
Therefore, in the past few months, Wei Jinfan would casually ride a big black eagle when going in and out of the island in the middle of the lake.
With a set of special saddle equipment and magic tools refined by Wan'er, it was naturally very convenient and fast for her to travel on the big black eagle.
It is quite normal that Wan'er can refine this special magical weapon.
Don't forget that this special magical saddle worn on the back of the spirit bird was invented by Wan'er, not Li Dingguo.
"Wan'er, this is the letter the commander-in-chief asked me to pass on to you."
"Hongmei also has a letter. I just delivered it to her."
Wei Jinfan jumped down from the back of the big black eagle, came to Wan'er, and handed her a letter in his hand.
"Did my elder brother write to me?"
"Wow! That's great! I was worried about him!"
When Wan'er heard that it was a letter from Li Dingguo, she was so happy that she jumped on the ground, immediately put down the pair of big hammers in her hands, took the letter with one hand, and quickly opened it to check.
As she read the letter carefully, the joy on her face grew stronger and stronger.
After a while, Wan'er, who had finished reading the letter, said to Wei Jinfan in surprise, "My elder brother is so awesome!"
"I went to Jiaozhou Bay alone to do some work, and as expected, it was a complete success!"
"Not only did we kill about half of the enemy, but we also seized all the property and supplies and all the treasure ships!"
"We must not give up on so many spoils of war. We must even use those large treasure ships as soon as possible and turn them into the hard power of our Renaissance Army."
"In this case, Big Brother will not be able to return to the Dongtao Plain for the time being. He can only occupy that very good Lingshan Island and rebuild a revival army there."
"I just want to quickly wipe out the remaining two Chahar remnant tribes. After that, I will ride on Dameng and head south to find my eldest brother."
Wan'er was happy but also a little worried when she learned that Li Dingguo was doing well. She thought about it for a while and made a decision. She said to Wei Jinfan, "I will go to find Sister Hongmei and discuss with her to speed up our attack on the entire Dongtao Plain."
"After we have taken control of this vast Dongtao Plain, and the Fuxing Army has completely established its foothold, I will ride on Da Meng and head south through the pass to find my eldest brother!"
"He doesn't have any helpers in the Qi Refining Realm around him right now, so it must be very hard for him."
"I have to go over and help him as soon as possible, and beat up all the enemies who dare to cause trouble!"
After saying this, she raised her little fist viciously and spoke very fiercely.
"Well, that's okay too."
"The commander-in-chief really needs a capable person to help."
"After all, his side is located in the coastal hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and there are many more enemies on all sides than on our side."
Wei Jinfan was much calmer than Wan'er. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was feasible.
After all, over the past few months, the soldiers of the Renaissance Army have made great progress and have completely become a powerful army that cannot be underestimated.
In addition, the number of Qi Refining Realm generals in the army is increasing day by day. According to statistics, as of three days ago, there are already sixty-one Qi Refining Realm generals in this Renaissance Army.
Even Wei Jinfan himself, because he had been staying at the base camp on the lake island for the past two or three months, he absorbed a large amount of the special life breath emitted by the five-colored sacred tree through meditation and practice every day. His cultivation progress was very fast, and he was not stuck by any bottleneck. He broke through all the way to the peak of the fourth level of martial arts.
In this way, even if Wan'er goes south to help the commander-in-chief, the Dongtao Plain can still be stable.
The soldiers of the five divine beast legions have already reached the great perfection level in military killing formations, and they are not vegetarians.
Moreover, the plan of the intelligence department and the Xuanwu Corps of the Fusion Army Navy to collect and transport refugees from the interior of the country has been going smoothly recently.
Almost every day, tens of thousands of refugees pass through Desheng Fort and are then urgently transferred to various resettlement sites, where they successfully settle down and become members of the Fusion Army.
Because the Renaissance Army now has no shortage of training resources, every recruit camp is continuously selecting and training warrior recruits.
With each passing day, more warriors and soldiers are added, continuously expanding the ranks of the Renaissance Army's warriors and soldiers.
If this situation continues for another one or two years, there will be no problem for the number of combat soldiers and warriors of the Restoration Army entrenched in the Dongtao Plain to exceed 100,000.
With such great confidence, it will not be a problem to firmly defend the Dongtao Plain, let alone other things.
Wan'er was very excited to see that Wei Jinfan, who was always known for his steadiness, also agreed with her statement.
"Yes, I'll go find Sister Hongmei and discuss it with her."
"Once the battlefield here is cleaned up and the logistics department takes over, our four main armies will immediately continue to march southwestward and strive to wipe out the two Chahar remnant tribes entrenched thousands of miles away within two months!"
"Three months ago, their army heading south was defeated in a battle with us, and they lost a large number of elite soldiers. The remaining soldiers were not numerous enough to stop the surprise attack launched by our army!"
Wan'er had gone through so many bloody battles and her vision was much different than before. She pointed out the biggest weakness of the two remaining Chahar tribes in one sentence.
"Indeed."
Wei Jinfan nodded and said, "I just received the latest intelligence from the intelligence department, which also confirms this."
"The intelligence personnel who have successfully infiltrated the two remaining Chahar tribes reported back that the two tribes, which each lost 20,000 elite troops three months ago, are now in a state of panic and even at a loss as to what to do."
"As long as we act fast enough, we can launch a surprise attack before they are ready to respond and wipe out the remaining two Chahar tribes in one fell swoop!"
"The combined strength of these two tribes is not as strong as the Yijin tribe that was just destroyed by our army, so there is no need to worry."
"After our army wiped out the remaining two Chahar tribes, there was no other major force on this Dongtao Plain that could fight our army head-on, except for the three major demon beast forces and the two large ghost dens."
"As long as we continue to sweep along step by step, it won't take half a year to wipe out all the Tatar tribes in this great plain, and control the entire Dongtao Great Plain in the hands of our Renaissance Army!"
"With such a huge foundation, we can focus on developing it for another year. By then, even if a main force of the Later Jin Tartar attacks, we will not be afraid at all and will be fully capable of fighting them head-on!"
After the two of them had discussed it, they left separately.
Wei Jinfan also needs to return to the base camp on the island in the center of the lake and take charge to prevent any chaos from occurring in the base camp. This is the top priority.
Wan'er hurriedly found Hongmei, and the two began to discuss the next military action, deciding to speed up the pace of unifying the Dongtao Plain.
Two hours later, Zhao Hong, the current head of the Fuxing Army's logistics headquarters, arrived in time with tens of thousands of logistics battalion soldiers to take over all the aftermath work here.
By the time the handover was completed, the four major combat corps here had already had dinner and rested for a while.
Following Hongmei's order, the soldiers of the four main combat corps began to gather again and lined up.
Under the cover of night, a long-range assault army consisting of 40,000 warriors and soldiers, riding on spirit beasts and war horses, continued to rush towards the west overnight...
