Chapter 440 The prerequisite for obtaining the intermediate inheritance is to be sure of defeating the opponent
"Li Dingguo, you are so brave!"
In the magnificent Shengjing Imperial City, in the Dazheng Hall, Huang Taiji finished reviewing the urgent intelligence he had just received, stood up angrily, and couldn't help cursing, "There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to the eighteen levels of hell but you insist on breaking in, if you don't die this time, who will?"
Huang Taiji had enough confidence to defeat any human enemy in the Liaodong region where the Later Jin clan was entrenched.
This naturally includes Li Dingguo.
Although the elite troops of the three flags led by Hauge went to fight Goguryeo and never returned, Huang Taiji was still able to mobilize more than two million elite troops in the vast Liaodong region.
With the advantage of geographical location and the nine guardian dragons of the Later Jin clan, how could the Fuxing Army, which had less than one million soldiers and had traveled a long distance, be able to defeat us?
This is exactly the case of searching for something everywhere but finding it without any effort.
I had originally wanted to personally lead the main forces of the Later Jin clan at the end of this year and march westward to the northern part of Shanxi Province to fight a decisive battle with Li Dingguo's Fuxing Army.
Now, Li Dingguo, this arrogant guy, dared to cross hundreds of thousands of miles to attack the Liaoxi Corridor with only two main army corps.
No matter what trump card Li Dingguo has, insufficient military force is a fatal flaw. Can he withstand the siege of two or three million main soldiers of the Qing Dynasty?
Even in the emergency intelligence sent back by Dorgon, it was specifically mentioned that the commanders of the two legions of the Fuxing Army were the peerless genius Cao Bianjiao, who was at the middle stage of level six, and You Shilu, who was at the peak of level five.
In the intelligence controlled by Huang Taiji, these two talented generals who had already defected to the Fuxing Army were not unfamiliar.
It would be fine if it was Cao Bianjiao, as he was regarded as the best master in the world by various human forces due to his extraordinary talent. It was not surprising that the Pixiu Legion led by him was able to defeat the main force of the Bordered White Banner led by Dorgon himself.
But You Shilu was just an ordinary evil genius. Although he had extremely rich battlefield experience, he was not taken seriously by Huang Taiji.
If You Shilu led the Taotie Army to fight against the two white flags of Dorgon or Duoduo, there would be no doubt that they would be crushed.
"Well, Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan City, and Jinzhou City were successively captured by Li Dingguo's Fuxing Army. Although they had the advantage at the beginning of the war, it was annoying, but this would inevitably greatly disperse the Fuxing Army's forces occupying the Liaoxi Corridor."
"After all, these three frontier passes are all vital fortress cities. Now that Li Dingguo has captured them, he will definitely not give up."
Huang Taiji's mind flashed with lightning, and he thought, "Li Dingguo's troops are already insufficient, and now they are divided into three. How can it be easy to stop the two million main forces of the Qing Dynasty with the power of the strong city?"
Isn't this Li Dingguo, the great threat, who came to Liaodong to seek death?
Thinking that Li Dingguo could be successfully eliminated in the Liaoxi Corridor area, even the unfathomable Huang Taiji could not sit still!
Through the intelligence collection about Li Dingguo during this period, Huang Taiji has dared to conclude that the other party has three natal divine artifacts on him.
They are the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell, the Xuanhuang Cauldron that is suspected to be the Human Emperor Cauldron, and the imperial seal that was snatched from him.
The Imperial Seal is a national artifact. It does not need to occupy the quota of a cultivator's natal artifact, but is only tied to the national destiny and people's livelihood of its own forces.
In this way, Li Dingguo might have another natal magic weapon on him.
Once Li Dingguo is killed, Huang Taiji will gain an unparalleled foundation and perhaps be able to break through the spirit refining realm in the future and truly build the Qing Dynasty into a prosperous dynasty with unlimited potential!
As the ruler of the Later Jin Dynasty, Huang Taiji had read countless ancient books and even rare copies, so he certainly knew some of the secrets of the world where the Kyushu land was located.
Just a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of this big world caused endless waves and ambitions in Huang Taiji's heart.
As long as the Qing Dynasty can dominate the vast Eastern land and the Kyushu continent, perhaps he, Huang Taiji, will have the opportunity to step into the legendary fairyland.
That is an immortal being, so Huang Taiji naturally could not resist such a huge temptation.
Now, Li Dingguo's reckless raid and capture of the Liaoxi Corridor was a godsend opportunity for Huang Taiji to implement his comprehensive strategic plan.
As long as Li Dingguo is killed and the Fuxing Army is eliminated, the vast world of the East will be within reach.
"Turg!"
Huang Taiji stood up suddenly and shouted to Turge, the deputy commander of the Plain Yellow Banner, "Go and convey my order immediately. Summon the soldiers of the Plain Yellow Banner, the Bordered Red Banner, and the Plain White Banner. Gather at your respective garrisons as quickly as possible, and then rush to the outskirts of Jinzhou day and night!"
"Let Dorgon lead the main force of the Bordered White Banner to attack Ningyuan City via a detour. Capture it at all costs and block the retreat of the Jinzhou Fuxing Army!"
"In this battle, I will personally lead the nation's guardian beast, the Jiaolong!"
"First, notify Aobai, who is riding on his natal dragon spirit beast to help Haoge capture the Goguryeo royal city, and have him and Haoge withdraw their troops immediately and head straight to Jinzhou City to join our army!"
"In this battle, in addition to letting the Zhenghong Banner stay in Shengjing City, all the main forces of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty will come out in full force to destroy Li Dingguo in one fell swoop and eliminate the threat to our heart!"
With Huang Taiji's strategy, if he didn't seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he would be unworthy of being called a genius and a peerless hero.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"I will go and deliver the imperial edict right away, and will not delay the emperor's important event."
As Huang Taiji's absolute confidant, Turg holds a very high status in the Later Jin clan, and recently he often serves as an imperial envoy to perform military duties.
He was one of the most loyal and trusted generals of Huang Taiji and had a deep hatred for Li Dingguo. Upon hearing this, he was overjoyed and immediately left to convey Huang Taiji's edict.
"hehe!"
As Turge left, Huang Taiji sat back on the throne in the Dazheng Hall with a grim expression, and said to himself, "Li Dingguo, this time I want to see whether you will die or not."
"Soon I will personally lead two million main forces to the outskirts of Jinzhou City and kill you at all costs!"
"As long as Li Dingguo dies, the Qing Dynasty will replace the Ming Dynasty and take over the entire Kyushu land in no time!"
“After unifying the world, I will use my tremendous luck and top-level divine weapon to break through to the Soul Refining Realm easily!”
"At that time, I will have enough ability to jump out of this chess game and truly control my own destiny."
Thinking of the current good situation, Huang Taiji could no longer sit still. He stood up and walked out of the Da Zheng Hall, heading towards the Qianlong Pond in the back garden.
This time, almost all of the main forces of the Qing Dynasty have come out. The key to whether they can successfully kill Li Dingguo, Cao Bianjiao and other core figures of the Renaissance Army lies in the national guardian beast Black Dragon King.
Otherwise, even if the Fuxing Army was defeated, Li Dingguo and Cao Bianjiao had a level six mid-stage spirit bird by their side, so they could easily break through and leave, return to the pass and start again.
Therefore, the Black Flood Dragon King and other national guardian beasts are the key to blocking Li Dingguo's escape.
The Black Dragon clan is the most top-level spiritual beast among the six levels, and its combat power is higher than that of most spiritual birds of the same level, such as the eagle.
The Black Flood Dragon King, who was at the peak of level six, led his tribe to follow the army. Under normal circumstances, Li Dingguo was doomed to a tragic ending.
"However, when the Qing Dynasty was founded, the announcement of nine level six black dragons as the guardian beasts of the country caused too much noise. Apparently, they have been known by Li Dingguo and the core generals of the Fuxing Army." As Huang Taiji flew towards the Qianlong Pond in the back garden, he suddenly thought of something and his face became very solemn. "Logically speaking, as long as Li Dingguo is not stupid, he would not just lead two main armies to occupy the Liaoxi Corridor."
"Since he dares to do this, does he have other amazing methods that can deal with the Black Dragon King and others?"
Is Li Dingguo a fool?
Of course that is impossible.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to build a super-powerful revival army that could compete with the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty in just six years.
With this in mind, Huang Taiji told the Black Dragon King his concerns without reservation when he flew to the Qianlong Pond in the Imperial Garden.
"Humph!"
The Black Dragon King raised his huge black head high and said disdainfully, "As long as there are no strong people in the Spirit Refining Realm in the world today, our Black Dragon tribe is not afraid of any enemy!"
"No matter how strong Li Dingguo's foundation is, can he still use his natal divine weapon and military formation to defeat us, the omnipotent dragons who can fly in the sky and the sea of people?"
"What's more, your cultivation, Huang Taiji, has quietly made a further step forward. Not long ago, with the help of a dragon blood fruit of acquired spiritual root quality that I provided you, which is located in the secret realm of Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, you quietly broke through to the middle stage of the sixth level."
"With Aobai and Manggurtai who have already broken through to the early stage of level 6, and the brothers Dorgon and Duoduo, what can Li Dingguo use to compete with the main force of the Qing Dynasty that we have sent out in full force?"
“No matter how strong his and Cao Bianjiao’s cultivation and their natal divine weapons are, their cultivation is a fatal flaw, and they are far from the peak of level six.”
As the Black Dragon King who has lived for thousands of years, he has great confidence in himself.
Moreover, recently the sons of fortune within the Houjin clan have appeared in large numbers.
Over the past year, the Qing Dynasty actually had five level six human warriors, which was no less in number than the Renaissance Army.
With the help of the Black Dragon Clan, Li Dingguo and the Fuxing Army, who came to the Liaoxi Corridor to capture the Guanning Army's territory, were doomed to fail.
After hearing the analysis from the Black Dragon King, Huang Taiji thought about it carefully and felt confident enough.
He then discussed with his natal spirit beast, the Black Dragon King, the corresponding strategy on how to blockade Jinzhou City, in an effort to win the battle in one go without any accidents.
……
"Duh!"
Thousands of feet above Shanhaiguan, Li Dingguo cast a five-colored seal, which sank into the center of the formation below.
"Buzz..."
Rays of colorful light shot up into the sky, illuminating the vast Shanhaiguan area of nearly two hundred miles in radius with brilliant colors.
The bright stream of light flickered in the air for a while, then formed a huge five-element formation protective light shield, then disappeared into the void.
"Not bad!"
"It took nearly a month to finally complete the deployment of the defense formations for the three border fortresses: Jinzhou City, Ningyuan City, and Shanhaiguan."
Li Dingguo stood in mid-air, carefully sensing the protective formation covering Shanhaiguan, and nodded with satisfaction, "With my current level of formation master, I have reached the pinnacle of the primary formation master, and there is no further to go."
"Unfortunately, I have not yet awakened my innate magical power in advance and achieved the requirements to open the next stage of the intermediate weapon refiner inheritance."
As his cultivation level recently broke through to the peak of the middle stage of level six, he received a message from his innate artifact, the Human Emperor Cauldron, which stated that the condition for opening the next stage of alchemy and weapon refining, as well as formation inheritance, is that Li Dingguo must awaken his own innate magical powers.
So far, among all the human practitioners in this world, no one has been able to awaken their innate divine powers, as if they were affected by the seal of the rules of heaven and earth.
There is no need to explain much about the power of the innate magical power, which is the fundamental foundation of a practitioner.
In ancient myths and legends, only practitioners who have awakened their innate magical powers can truly step into the door of practitioners and be qualified to break through to the realm of spirit refining.
Even though Li Dingguo's foundation was unparalleled in the world, he still could not sense any signs of his innate magical power awakening.
The reason why he was able to put in a lot of effort to set up a city defense formation for Jinzhou City, Ningyuan City, Shanhaiguan, and some large and small military forts bordering the Liaodong Tatars in just one month was related to the giant golden eagle that could control the power of his innate magical powers.
Having been with Li Dingguo for such a long time, Da Jin had consumed countless rare treasures and top-grade elixirs during this period.
After Li Dingguo led his army to capture Shanhaiguan, his own luck suddenly soared, and his natal divine beast Dajin also benefited greatly. It started from the entry of its natal magical power and broke through to the realm of minor success in magical power.
Dajin's innate magical power is an incredible magical power of space attribute.
In the past, due to the limitations of its own cultivation and proficiency in magical powers, under normal circumstances, once it activated its innate magical power with spatial attributes, it would suffer serious backlash.
After Li Dingguo captured Shanhaiguan, he gained a miraculous fortune, while the fortune of the Ming Dynasty decreased significantly accordingly.
As Li Dingguo's natal spirit beast, Dajin broke through the minor success realm of his natal magical power in one fell swoop, and was basically immune to the backlash after the natal magical power was activated.
Thanks to the help of Da Jin, whose innate magical powers had been slightly accomplished, Li Dingguo was able to save a lot of travel time. He rode Da Jin through the Liaoxi Corridor and promptly arranged the newest jurisdiction here with the strongest protective formation that could be deployed by human forces today.
Although it is far inferior to the magical formations that come with formation-type artifacts, it is not inferior to the protective formation of the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
With the cooperation of the Fuxing Army soldiers, it would not be possible for the Later Jin clan to break through in a short period of time.
"Whoosh!"
After completing the arrangement of the last large-scale protective formation in the Liaoxi Corridor, Li Dingguo flashed in front of You Shiwei, the commander of the Qiongqi Legion.
Late yesterday evening, the revived Royal Guards Corps and the newly formed and transformed Qiongqi Corps arrived one after another.
They planned to march quickly towards Ningyuan City and Jinzhou City, trying to meet up with the Taotie Legion and the Pixiu Legion as soon as possible.
As for Shanhaiguan, it is still guarded by a 100,000-strong Pixiu Corps. With the help of the city defense formation that has just been set up, they are able to firmly defend this rear area: the number one pass in the world.
