Chapter 374: The wrong person is trusted, the battle will be a decisive battle
"Da Hai, Lingshan Island is ahead."
Yuetuo, who had been to Lingshan Island once and landed on the island once, stood on the flagship Dabao Ship, pointed to the huge island in front of him, and said to Dahai.
He looked towards the harbor of the island with a complicated expression.
It was here two years ago that Yuetuo suffered the humiliation of his life.
He led a team of Later Jin warriors and formed an alliance with the Ye family of Fuqing and the Governor's Office of Haojing, but he was defeated by one man and an eagle and forced to jump into the sea to escape!
Even after so much time had passed, Yue Tuo still couldn't let it go, and his resentment even grew stronger.
He knew clearly that this embarrassing incident had become a demon in his heart.
As long as Li Dingguo is alive, it will be difficult for him to resolve his emotional knot in the future, which will have a very serious impact on his breakthrough to the sixth level.
Only if one can obtain a legendary innate divine weapon to suppress the sea of gods can one avoid being affected by the inner demons.
Unfortunately, Yuetuo has not yet been able to obtain a natal artifact, let alone the legendary innate artifact.
"Yue Tuo, why didn't the Fuxing Army entrenched in Lingshan Island come on board the Great Treasure Ship to intercept our fleet this time?"
Dahai took a look at the military formations on his fleet, and said with some regret, "It's a pity that our soldiers have been on high alert. Once they find the enemy fleet coming, the level 5 generals will activate the military killing formation and launch a violent attack on them."
"It now seems that our preparations were unnecessary."
Dahai now admires Yuetuo very much.
If I had been as cautious as him before, I would not be afraid even if I encountered a large enemy fleet attacking me. I could immediately launch a counterattack with the help of the military killing formation prepared by the soldiers.
Unfortunately, there is no if. During a battle between two armies, once either side makes a big mistake, there will be no chance to start over.
"Da Hai, you underestimated the cunning Renaissance Army of Lingshan Island."
Yuetuo shook his head and said to Dahai, "Do you think it's that simple?"
"Didn't you notice that little golden dot in the sky thousands of feet above our heads?"
"That must be a level 5 golden eagle of the enemy! It's watching us all the time!"
"If we hadn't made the corresponding counterattack preparations, our large fleet would have been attacked by the enemy's fleet long ago!"
"The Renaissance Army's psychic cannons and psychic crossbow carts are far beyond the reach of our army. It would be strange if the enemy didn't take advantage of their advantages!"
"As the commander of a large army, you should develop the habit of keeping your eyes and ears open and think more about everything."
"Otherwise, you will most likely suffer a big loss again in the future."
Yuetuo was very disappointed with Dahai.
He is just a reckless man. Fortunately, Huang Taiji still valued him so much that he even gave him the command of the navy and the Han Army Eight Banners Firearms Battalion. It was really a waste of money.
Although Dahai has reached the peak level of fifth-level cultivation, he is only okay as a brave warrior who charges into battle, but he is not qualified to be the commander of a large army.
In this regard, Manggurtai, who has always been known as a reckless man, is much better than Dahai.
"what?"
Dahai quickly raised his head and looked up into the sky, just in time to see the faintly visible golden dot falling rapidly towards Lingshan Island in front of him.
He was suddenly shocked and his face turned red.
He now understood Huang Taiji and why he valued Yuetuo so much.
If it were most other Later Jin generals, after the last defeat on Lingshan Island, the losses caused were so great that if they were not beheaded by Huang Taiji, they would be stripped of all their military posts. How could they continue to appoint Yuetuo as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army?
"Send the order!"
“When our fleet is thirty miles away from Lingshan Island, this great treasure ship will provide cover. Dahai and Manggurtai, you two will each lead a military killing formation consisting of 100,000 soldiers to launch a strong attack on the enemy’s protective formation!”
"Although this Five Elements Formation inherited from ancient times by Li Dingguo is powerful, it will only take one day at most to break through under our high-intensity attack!"
"When the time comes, it will be time for the soldiers to start their killing feast!"
Yuetuo said no more to Dahai and gave the order immediately.
"Yes!"……
Dahai and Manggurtai, who were standing next to Yuetuo, immediately accepted the order.
The two men then slipped away and began their final preparations before the battle.
The military discipline of the Later Jin clan was very strict. Once the commander-in-chief gave an order, anyone who dared to disobey would be beheaded on the spot as a public display.
……
"Brother, after several days of preparation, this Tartar army finally arrived at Lingshan Island."
"This time they come, don't even think about leaving!"
"This time I'm going to let Yue Tuo see my Fan Tian Yin and see how many times he can withstand my attacks!"
In the island protection formation where the enemy cannot see the real situation inside, 300,000 naval soldiers are already on high alert. Wan'er stands on the bow of the flagship, the Top Treasure Ship, looking at the Tartar fleet outside the formation shield and says excitedly to Li Dingguo.
"Their large fleet stopped thirty miles away and remained motionless, leaving the top-quality treasure ship at the front."
Li Dingguo observed the enemy situation and said, "This Yuetuo is quite intelligent, much better than most of the Tartar generals."
"They want to use the cover of that top-grade treasure ship to launch a strong attack on our island protection formation using the military killing formation."
"Humph!"
Li Dingguo snorted coldly and said, "This tactic is very useful against other enemies, and it may even be unstoppable."
"Unfortunately, our Fuxing Army is different from the Ming Dynasty's official army. Not only do we have 300,000 warriors who have trained their military killing formations to the great perfection level, we also have two main formation masters at the early stage of level six."
"We are not afraid even if we have to fight them head-on. Moreover, we still have so many spiritual energy cannons and spiritual crossbow carts to consume the blood and physical strength of the Tartar soldiers."
"After all their soldiers have endured a round of critical hits from cannons and spirit crossbows, it will be our turn to take the initiative and attack them."
The tactics adopted by Li Dingguo in this battle were almost a replica of the battle with Huang Taiji's army in northwest Shanxi.
The difference is that the battle now takes place on the sea, rather than an offensive and defensive battle on land.
At this moment, it was less than ten days since Huang Taiji was defeated, and Yuetuo had not received the news of Huang Taiji's defeat.
Unlike the golden eagle, a level 6 spiritual bird, which was extremely fast, Huang Taiji didn't even have a level 4 spiritual bird. Even if it was a level 3 spiritual pigeon, it would take at least half a month to deliver the message from the northwestern Shanxi province to Yuetuo.
The information delay caused by this time difference is absolutely fatal to Yuetuo's army.
Li Dingguo didn't have to think too much. He just had to copy the tactics he had used to defeat Huang Taiji.
"Liang Liping, Xiao Shitou, Wan'er, get ready for battle immediately!"
The Tatar army was about to start its attack. Li Dingguo immediately gave the order, "Wait until the Tatar's top-grade ship enters the ten-mile range, and then we can use the psychic cannons to launch a concentrated fire attack."
"After the Tartars' attack ends this time, when Yuetuo sends out the next batch of soldiers, all the psychic cannons and psychic crossbow carts will be fully unleashed to launch another round of ten waves of concentrated fire attacks on them!"
"By the time our second round of concentrated fire is over, the blood and physical strength of those Tartar soldiers will have been mostly consumed. It will be time for our army to form a military killing formation and take the initiative to launch a major counterattack."
"When we attack, Wan'er and I will each lead a 100,000-man army to form a military killing formation and attack. Little Stone Liang Dingming will lead the remaining 100,000 soldiers to attack."
With the help of a top-grade acquired spiritual peach, Liang Dingming has now successfully broken through to the early stage of level five, which is enough for him to preside over a large-scale military killing formation.
"Yes!"……
Everyone took the order in unison, used their physical skills to leap away, and each of them arrived at a top-quality treasure ship, commanding the soldiers to make preparations for the final attack.
As for the psychic cannons and crossbow carts of the Restoration Army, the concentrated fire attacks on the enemy were operated by the new recruits of the Firearms Battalion, and commanded by Liang Liping and Wei Ying.
On the large treasure ships of the Renaissance Army that had been prepared long ago, a large number of spiritual energy cannons and spiritual crossbow carts were deployed, ready for volley fire, and they would be activated in a moment.
This operation does not require much technical skills, and even the new recruits of the Firearms Battalion of the Fusion Army can operate it with ease.
These warrior recruits of the Restoration Army may be called new recruits, but most of them had already broken through and become warriors a year ago.
After more than a year of training, with the help of elixirs of various levels, there are now over a hundred generals in the Qi Refining Realm. What they lack is only real war experience.
Once they have gone through a few major battles and training, they will quickly grow into qualified soldiers.
At this time, the enemy's top-quality treasure ship that had just entered the Lingshan Island harbor began to speed towards the big pier.
From the two high-quality treasure ships of the Tartars in the rear, two military killing formations composed of 100,000 elite Tartar soldiers activated the killing formation magic power and transformed into two phantoms of mythical beasts that were five hundred feet in size. They jumped off the ship and flew towards the island protection formation at a rapid speed!
The two phantoms of the mythical beasts, which were covered in thick blood and wolf smoke, cunningly hid behind the top-grade treasure ship in front, following the top-grade treasure ship.
Their purpose is self-evident, which is to avoid most of the artillery fire fired from the Lingshan Island harbor in order to save the soldiers' energy and physical strength.
Then, you must rush to the front of the island protection formation as quickly as possible, launch a violent attack on the protective light shield, and consume a large amount of the energy stored in the island protection formation.
The high-quality and medium-quality treasure ships that stayed on the sea could not hold out for long in the face of the fierce artillery attacks of the Renaissance Army, so Yuetuo did not order these treasure ships to charge together with the top-quality treasure ships to avoid causing unnecessary losses.
It is better to proceed step by step this way, and the efficiency of breaking through the enemy's formation will be higher.
On the treasure ships where the Tatars were in the rear, there were also four Tatar warrior teams of 100,000 strong, forming a military killing formation and standing by in awe.
They needed to wait until the first wave of attacks led by Dahai and Manggurtai was over, and then launch the next wave of attacks after they retreated.
In this way, we can launch continuous and violent attacks on the protective formation of Lingshan Island, not giving the formation time to restore its energy supply, and try to break through the protective formation of Lingshan Island as soon as possible.
This is the sophistication of Yuetuo. He wants to rely on his own powerful strength to crush the conspiracy of the defenders of Lingshan Island.
The advantage of an open conspiracy is that you can see it clearly, but you cannot crack it.
However, even Yuetuo could not have imagined that Li Dingguo would defeat the million-strong army led by Huang Taiji so quickly, and had already arrived at Lingshan Island in time riding a level six spiritual bird, the golden eagle.
He could not have imagined that at this time on Lingshan Island, there was not only Li Dingguo, a level six master, but also Wan'er, a strong man who had just broken through to level six.
Without knowing these circumstances, Yuetuo's tactical arrangement was undoubtedly quite correct, leaving the defenders of Lingshan Island helpless and with no choice but to either resist or counterattack.
No matter whether it was the flagship ship of the highest quality where Yuetuo himself was, or the two Tartar army killing formations following behind, they were all moving at an extremely fast speed. In just a few blinks of an eye, they had already rushed within ten miles of the island protection formation.
"boom!"
"Boom!"...
As explosions sounded one after another, hundreds of psychic cannons within the protective formation began to roar.
Hundreds of scorching white balls of light shot out from the colorful array shield and landed on the Tartar's top-quality treasure ship.
With the full power of the protective formation activated, this top-grade treasure ship lived up to its reputation as the most powerful large spiritual weapon treasure ship of this era. It withstood two waves of artillery fire and quickly rushed to a stop in front of the defensive light shield of the island protection formation. The dozen or so spiritual bird cannons on the ship also began to counterattack.
More than a dozen psychic shells were fired from the treasure ship, landing on the colorful protective light shield, but it seemed calm.
The great treasure ship itself was bearing the enemy's fierce attack. The protective light shield on the ship was flickering rapidly in and out of focus, and it looked shaky.
Judging from this situation, it won’t be long before the enemy will blow up the formation shield on the ship on the spot.
However, this top-quality treasure ship had completed its mission, and under Yuetuo's command, it began to turn around and retreat rapidly.
Following the great treasure ship, two huge phantoms of mythical beasts arrived in front of the island protection formation. Because the great treasure ship in front had shared a large part of the enemy's psychic artillery fire attack, the Tartar soldiers in the formation were still in their prime.
"Roar!"……
Two phantoms of divine beasts that were hundreds of feet tall rose up from the sea, opened their mouths wide, and spit out wind blades that were dozens of feet in size from their bloody mouths, continuously bombarding the protective light shield of the island protection formation in front!
The military killing formation formed by 100,000 elite Tartar soldiers, using the killing formation's magical power to launch attacks, was indeed extremely powerful.
Those wind blades bombarded the light shield of the formation in front densely, causing it to flicker and shake the huge island protection formation.
After withstanding ten waves of bombardment from hundreds of psychic cannons, the blood and energy of the soldiers in the two Tartar armies of 100,000 men that launched the violent attack had been mostly consumed. The materialized blood and energy wolf smoke that enveloped the giant wolf's phantom not only became much smaller, but also became somewhat illusory.
"Dudu..."
Yuetuo, who had already ordered the flagship Dabao Ship to retreat to the side of the large fleet in the rear, immediately ordered the retreat horn to be blown upon seeing this.
The two phantoms of the mythical beasts, which were already somewhat shaky, quickly turned around, leaped over the waves, and quickly returned to the front of the large fleet thirty miles away.
As Yuetuo gave the order again, the four Tartar armies of 100,000 men on the other four high-quality treasure ships activated the military killing formation that had been prepared long ago, and continued to charge towards the island protection formation ahead!
These four large military killing formations, each composed of 100,000 elite Tartar soldiers, although they no longer had the cover of the top-grade treasure ship this time, they were able to withstand two waves of concentrated fire from the enemy's artillery and rushed to the front of the island protection formation in the blink of an eye, and immediately launched a killing attack!
The war between the enemy and us entered the most intense offensive state from the very beginning.
The first round just ended, and the second round of confrontation started again without stopping...
