Chapter 417: Walking into a Trap, Trying to Put Li Dingguo to Death
"Commander-in-chief, the city of Jinan is ahead."
On the river twenty miles away from the north gate of Jinan City, Mo Xiaoyong, who had just joined the large fleet, pointed to the huge city ahead and reported to Li Dingguo.
"Well, it looks like the moat outside this famous city is well built, at least ten miles wide."
It has to be said that this tall and majestic city ahead is the largest city that Li Dingguo has ever led his troops to attack.
Although Chang'an City had fallen into the hands of the Fuxing Army, Li Dingguo was not present in that battle, so he had never seen the real huge city up close.
In all aspects, even if the magnificence of Jinan City is not as great as that of Chang'an City, it is not far behind.
"In a little while, our large fleet will enter the moat, and will be within the range of the enemy's psychic cannons."
Li Dingguo immediately gave the order, "Notify all ships to advance three miles and then stop, and form an attack formation."
"We must take advantage of the range of our psychic cannons and launch a concentrated fire attack on the enemy city, while avoiding entering the range of the enemy's psychic cannons."
Mo Xiaoyong, the commander of the Military Intelligence Department, has already found out that the enemy in the Jinan City ahead is well prepared and has gathered all the psychic artillery and warriors that can be deployed to maximize the defense.
There are more than a hundred psychic cannons installed on the north city wall directly in front, and the firepower cannot be underestimated.
Since the city defense formation only protects the outside but not the inside, before the city defense formation of Jinan Prefecture is broken, the enemy's psychic cannons fired from the top of the city wall can attack our side, while the artillery shells fired by the Renaissance Army will be blocked by the enemy's city defense formation.
Li Dingguo would certainly not adopt an attack mode that would obviously put his side at a disadvantage.
In this case, it would be a wise choice to take advantage of the range of one's own advanced psychic cannons to defeat the enemy's city defense formation.
In this vast world today, except for the Restoration Army, the maximum effective range of the psychic cannons of all human forces is only fifteen miles.
In this regard, the Fusion Army has an absolute advantage.
"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!"
Liang Liping on the side quickly took the order and left to convey the latest military orders to the soldiers.
Taking advantage of this free time, Li Dingguo and Wan'er looked around at the city defense formation that was already clearly visible in front of them.
"Brother, we have seen many similar defensive formations outside the Jinan City, so there is no need to worry."
Wan'er observed carefully for a while, and said to Li Dingguo with a serious face, "But the mysterious guard formation next to the outer formation is obviously extraordinary."
"Even though we are so far away, we can still feel some oppression. This seems to be the aura of oppression that only an innate formation can possess."
Li Dingguo and Wan'er were both familiar with this kind of unique formation aura.
The Human Emperor Cauldron is a top-level innate artifact with a super powerful innate formation inside. It is more powerful in every aspect than the mysterious guardian formation before it.
Wan'er's natal space artifact, the Hundred Herbs Map, has now been upgraded again after being integrated with the small world bead. The small world inside the artifact is also filled with innate spiritual energy.
Even the base camp on the island in the middle of the lake outside the pass is rapidly evolving into a paradise under the influence of the rapidly growing five-colored sacred tree. A large innate spiritual vein is also beginning to grow inside, which will naturally continue to generate innate spiritual energy.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Li Dingguo and Wan'er can now sense something unusual about the unknown enemy formation that covers the city ahead.
"The Yan family's background is too strong."
Li Dingguo's face became serious, and he said solemnly, "This artifact that can easily set up an innate formation is extremely rare even in ancient myths and legends, and most of them are complete sets of innate artifacts."
"This Yan family definitely doesn't have a set of innate divine artifacts. At most, there are only one or two. I just don't know which one it is?"
Li Dingguo himself already has an incomplete set of innate divine artifacts that come with innate formations, which include the Human Emperor Cauldron and the Human Emperor Pen. He is also missing the Human Emperor Seal to complete the set.
There is also the set of Dinghai Shenzhen Pearls that Hongmei recently obtained, which is also an incomplete innate set of artifacts, and currently there are only twelve of them.
However, judging from the pressure of the formation that enveloped the city of Jinan, the grade of the Yan family's formation-type innate artifact was probably even higher than Hongmei's twelve Dinghai Divine Pearls.
However, as the master of the divine weapon, the leader of the Yan family's formation, his cultivation has not yet broken through to level six, and he cannot unleash much power of the formation, so it is within the range that his side can handle.
"Humph!"
Wan'er snorted coldly and said, "No matter what this sacred artifact of the Yan family is, it will soon become ours!"
"Sister Hongmei likes array-type artifacts very much, doesn't she? I think this unknown artifact is perfect for use with the Dinghai Divine Pearl. It couldn't be more suitable."
"Sister Hongmei's third life artifact will soon be found. It doesn't necessarily have to be a defensive artifact."
She is right.
Not to mention any innate superior or top-grade artifacts, they all have very good defensive capabilities, and the best defense is offense.
As long as your attack power is strong enough, you don't necessarily have to equip yourself with three innate magical weapons that are both offensive and defensive.
The artifact used by the Yan family to set up an unknown protective formation has an aura that is obviously superior to the set of twelve Dinghai Divine Pearls. It must be an innate and top-grade artifact.
"good."
Li Dingguo nodded upon hearing this and said, "This Yan family's clan artifact is very suitable for Hongmei. It can be used together with the Dinghai Divine Pearl."
"The Yan family is thinking too much to rely on a top-grade innate formation artifact to block the attack of our Renaissance Army!"
"But we must not be careless."
Li Dingguo said solemnly, "This kind of innate divine weapon's inherent magical formation is not as simple as it seems."
"If we lead the soldiers to form a formation and launch a charge, we must use our life-defining artifacts to protect ourselves, so as not to be trapped in the innate formation. If we are not careful, we will be in great danger."
Although the family's foundation is extremely solid, there is still the possibility of failure.
In ancient myths and legends, countless powerful masters were trapped to death by the innate formation. In serious cases, they would die, while in minor cases, they would be seriously injured or even become disabled.
If the opponent's main formation leader is at level six and can unleash even more powerful innate formation power, this battle might be quite dangerous.
After all, this was the first time that Li Dingguo encountered an innate formation that could cover a huge city with a radius of 800 miles.
If this sacred weapon of the Yan family falls into the hands of a level six strong man, the power of the passive formation it activates can easily cover an area of a thousand miles.
From this point of view, almost all the innate top-grade artifacts in this universe are not as lethal as the Yan family's clan artifact. Its power to attack and kill the enemy in groups is too strong.
"Not afraid!"
Wan'er raised her hand and waved it fiercely, saying, "Wait until we break through the outer city defense formation. If even the psychic cannons can't break through the opponent's innate formation, we will lead the soldiers to form a formation and launch a strong attack." "I want to see how many attacks of my Fantian Seal this Yan family's clan defense formation can withstand!"
"No matter how bad things get, I still have you, big brother. It won't be a problem to break this formation by force."
No matter what, the strength of the Yan family's main formation is not enough, which is a fatal flaw.
No matter how powerful an innate divine weapon is, without the powerful cultivation of its owner to activate it, it is useless and only looks good but is useless.
While the two were discussing, the large fleet of the Restoration Army had already arrived at the designated area and quickly formed up.
Nearly 150 large treasure ships, led by three top-quality large treasure ships, staggered their hulls and formed three horizontal rows, with their black gun muzzles pointing at the huge city ahead that was a hundred feet high.
After successively capturing Denglai Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture, the naval fleet of the Fuxing Army naturally seized a large number of treasure ships of various levels.
Most of the treasure ships of all levels in the entire Qi and Lu lands are owned by the noble families, wealthy merchants and tycoons in these three states.
This naturally led to the large fleet of the Restoration Army expanding significantly after their complete victory.
"All treasure ships, listen up! Prepare for the first round of ten waves of concentrated fire attacks!"
"preparation!"
"put!"……
On the flagship treasure ship, the commander standing on the tall main mast waved the red flag in his hand fiercely forward. On each of the treasure ships that were ready to open fire, the psychic cannons roared!
Amidst the deafening sound of the explosion, balls of scorching psychic energy shot out from the muzzle of the gun, like dazzling lightning, and slammed into the glowing light shield of the city defense formation in front.
"Boom!"...
However, the city defense formation of Jinan City is stronger than one might imagine.
Hundreds of psychic shells exploded, and the shock waves that erupted almost tore through the void, but only caused the protective light shield of the city defense formation to flicker in light and darkness for a while, and then it recovered to its original state.
This huge city, which now gathers 20 to 30 million people, has demonstrated a powerful defense capability that far exceeds Qingzhou City and Dengzhou City.
The most amazing thing is that the inner circle of the Yan family's clan formation seems to be able to supply continuous energy to the outer city defense formation, which makes it so powerful.
Li Dingguo's eyes were startled, and he realized that he had underestimated the power of the Yan family's clan defense formation.
"Come again!"
Liang Liping, who was in charge of commanding the large fleet to launch a concentrated fire attack, waved her hand and once again gave the order for a psychic cannon attack.
She just didn't believe that the enemy's city defense formation could withstand such fierce artillery fire from her own side.
If three rounds of concentrated fire attack don’t work, what about ten rounds?
The use of any formation requires corresponding energy to support it. It is impossible to create something out of nothing. There must always be a limit.
Even the innate great formation needs to consume the energy of the innate spiritual veins. This is an ironclad fact.
But in today's world, apart from the innate cave paradise and the innate cave artifacts, where can we get the innate spiritual energy to supply the innate formation?
Even though the huge Renaissance Army has unparalleled strength, so far only the Fortress Headquarters and Wan'er's innate innate artifact, the Hundred Herbs Map, have been able to do this.
The city of Jinan is just a city of a dynasty with good fortune. It does not even have much acquired spiritual energy and gathered good fortune. Naturally, it is impossible to withstand the continuous concentrated fire attacks from its own side.
"Boom!"...
Following Liang Liping's order, wave after wave of psychic artillery concentrated their fire on the attack, and countless artillery fire poured continuously towards the city defense formation ahead!
Because of the range advantage of the Renaissance Army's upgraded psychic cannons, and the fact that the large fleet was located outside the range of the enemy's psychic cannons, it was impossible for the enemy to launch a direct attack on the Renaissance Army's fleet, and the more than one hundred psychic cannons placed on the city walls became decorations.
"Your Excellency, our artillery attack can't even reach the enemy!"
"The enemy's concentrated fire attack is so fierce, it seems that they have no shortage of energy crystal cores. What should we do if this continues?"
The commander of the defending army, Ni Chong, saw that the light of his own city defense formation was getting dimmer and dimmer under the enemy's concentrated fire attack. He suddenly panicked and quickly found Yan Jizu to explain the situation.
"General Ni, don't panic!"
Yan Jizu had already received instructions from Yan Jingzhi, the ancestor of the Yan family. Hearing this, he was not panicked at all and said confidently, "It doesn't matter even if the outer city defense formation is destroyed in a while. Our Yan family's clan defense formation is not as simple as it seems."
"The strength of this clan-suppressing formation lies not in its external defense, but in its internal formation magic attack."
"Our ancestors have already had a countermeasure. Once the city defense formation is broken, we will directly let the enemy army enter the formation and then deal with them!"
He looked at the large fleet on the river outside the city with a sinister look in his eyes and sneered, "Li Dingguo would never have thought that our Yan family has already dug a trap for them to jump in!"
"It will be easy to enter the battle formation but difficult to leave. Today, Jinan City is the burial place of Li Dingguo!"
He had listened to the ancestor's explanation before, and he was also a little bit unbelievable at the time.
Is the family's clan defense formation really that powerful?
You have to know that Li Dingguo and Wan'er are both level six warriors. It is rumored that they both have a life-saving artifact to protect them. Are they so easy to be surrounded and killed?
Even with the help of the clan's artifact's inherent magical power and innate formation, it would be difficult to do, right?
But it was only after the ancestor and the clan leader repeatedly emphasized it that Yan Jizu had to believe it.
After all, in the Yan family, only the ancestor and the clan leader had manipulated the clan's formation to surround and kill the enemy.
At this critical moment of life and death, there will definitely be no exaggerated nonsense. I should be sure of this.
After a while, when the city defense formation of Jinan City is broken, the ancestor will manipulate the formation to pretend that the clan defense formation has also been broken, and lure Li Dingguo and the Fuxing Army into the formation, implementing the strategy of luring the enemy into a trap.
"what?"
"Can this still happen?"
"Tai Yan, you must be kidding me. Your Yan family's clan defense formation has such a powerful method to trap and kill powerful enemies?"
Ni Chong was shocked when he heard this. He asked again and again, and finally felt relieved after getting a positive answer.
As for the next battle, can we achieve our goal?
Anyway, the wealthy Yan family is not panicking, so I have nothing to be afraid of.
Next, we have to wait and see the direction of the war after the "luring the enemy into a trap" strategy is implemented to verify whether what Yan Jizu said is true.
