The mysterious world: Start working hard from the beggar camp!

Chapter 518: The gap in strength is too big, Dorgon's helpless choice
"These Tartar dogs react very quickly."

You Shilu was the first to lead the Taotie Army to the city of Yizhou. Looking at the huge fortress in front of him, which was surrounded by a city defense formation, he said to You Shiwei beside him, "But do they think this can stop our three million Renaissance Army soldiers?"

"Haha...you don't know your own limitations!"

He looked at the deputy general beside him and ordered, "Send a message to the Marine Firearms Battalion to immediately set up artillery positions and wait for the order to attack the city!"

"Shiwei."

Looking at his brother who had just arrived, You Shilu continued, "The same goes for the Qiongqi Legion that you lead. Have the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion set up the artillery positions as soon as possible."

"When the general manager arrives, he will probably order the entire army to launch a general attack and capture Yizhou City in one fell swoop."

It was not that he looked down on the Later Jin Tartars, nor that the defense of the Yizhou City in front of him was weak, but that the Fuxing Army that crossed the river this time was simply too powerful.

After reorganization and screening, the six main battle armies not only saw a significant increase in the number of soldiers, but were also composed entirely of elite soldiers who had undergone rigorous elimination.

Even the weakest soldier in the legion is a warrior who has trained for at least three years and has passed the actual combat training assessment.

The population in the area under the jurisdiction of the Fuxing Army increased dramatically, especially after it captured the Central Plains, Northern Zhili, and half of Southern Zhili.

Today, there are over 100 billion people. Every state has built a large number of recruit training camps, and the number of warriors has exceeded 1 billion.

But there are less than 10 million regular army soldiers.

In other words, at least one hundred warriors are needed to select one soldier who is eligible to join the regular army of the Renaissance Army.

The soldiers of the main legions of the Renaissance Army are now much stronger than they were a few years ago.

Among the six main combat corps that participated in crossing the Yalu River, each corps was equipped with a thousand psychic cannons and an even larger number of crossbow carts.

Once a concentrated fire attack is launched on any fortress in the world today, the opponent's city defense formation will not be able to withstand it.

The Yizhou City before them looked tall and majestic, with extremely strong defenses, but it would not be able to hold out for more than half an hour under their own concentrated fire.

The evil Later Jin Tartars entrenched in the Goguryeo Peninsula could never have imagined how terrifying the combat effectiveness of the current Fuxing Army would be once its six main combat corps and three million soldiers were gathered together!
Brothers You Shilu and You Shiwei ordered their soldiers to line up and wait. The action had just begun when the four subsequent legions had already arrived at the battlefield.

More than six thousand psychic cannons were deployed in front of the formation by soldiers from the firearms battalions of various legions, with their black muzzles pointing towards the city defense formation of Yizhou City ahead.

"how is this possible?"

Dorgon, who had just calmed down, saw the artillery positions outside the city that stretched to the horizon. It was like a bucket of cold water was poured over his face, and his anger was immediately extinguished. He screamed in disbelief, "How precious are psychic cannons? Both the master of refining and the top-level spiritual materials are very rare. How can the enemy create so many psychic cannons?"

His doubts were not without reason.

If Li Dingguo did not have a huge cauldron, his own sacred artifact for alchemy and refining, and had not inherited the formation and refining techniques from the ancient mythological period, he would not have been able to do this.

In the Nine Provinces of China, except for the Renaissance Army, it is estimated that the total number of psychic cannons of all other major forces will not exceed five thousand, and their power is far less than that of the standard psychic cannons of the Renaissance Army.

Coupled with the fact that every member of the main army is equipped with a set of top-grade magical weapons, as well as the unrivaled cavalry, this is the key factor that has enabled the Renaissance Army to remain undefeated so far.

In the past, because the Renaissance Army expanded too quickly, it had to frequently stop its expansion in order to stabilize internal order and restore people's livelihood.

However, this helpless move was gone forever as the Fuxing Army completely occupied the Jiangbei area of ​​China's Kyushu and suspended its external offensive for more than a year.

"Your Highness, Li Dingguo must have a huge secret, otherwise he would not be able to do such an outrageous thing."

Sahalian, who was always mature and prudent, also lost his usual calmness. He looked at the artillery positions that were quickly formed outside the city with a livid face and said in horror, "Faced with such a large artillery cluster, it seems that our Yizhou City will be difficult to defend."

"Should we withdraw our troops?"

“Even if we retreat to the deep mountains and forests and fight a guerrilla war with the Renaissance Army, we won’t be so passive!”

As one of the earliest people to follow Nurhaci in his rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, he had experienced countless war scenes in his life. Seeing the huge gap between his own side and the Restoration Army, it was clear to him that once the Restoration Army launched a concentrated attack, Yizhou City would inevitably be breached soon.

At that time, without the protection of the city defense formation, the one million soldiers of the Two White Flags would undoubtedly face an enemy three times stronger than themselves, and an enemy whose individual quality was no worse than that of the Later Jin warriors.

Rather than waiting to die, it is better to withdraw from Yizhou City in time and retreat into the vast mountains and forests to fight a guerrilla war with the enemy, which is better than defending this ancient city.

"Escape without a fight?"

"Sahalian, you are really getting old and confused!"

Hearing this, Dorgon pointed to the sky over Yizhou City and shouted, "You are a man of vision who is talking nonsense!"

"Do you think the Renaissance Army wouldn't think of this when they suddenly attack?"

"Look up at the nearly ten level six spirit birds in the sky. They are closely monitoring us all the time. Once our two white flags and one million soldiers withdraw from Yizhou City, can they leave safely?"

He also knew that Sahalian's proposal was correct under normal circumstances.

But the enemies outside the city were different from the past. Not only were there many level six spirit birds accompanying the army, but there were also a large number of Qi Refining wolves.

With his powerful divine sense, he discovered that there were at least hundreds of three-tailed demon wolves in the Qi Refining Realm surrounding the Renaissance Army arrayed outside the city.

The fact that the Renaissance Army has cultivated a large number of Qi Refining wolves is no longer a secret and is well known to all major forces.

These three-tailed demon wolves in the Qi Refining Realm are not only very powerful in combat, but can also easily lock onto targets within a hundred miles, making them experts in tracking.

Why are the Military Intelligence Department and the Internal Affairs Department of the Fusion Army so efficient?

Through intensive breeding over several years, they now have thousands of Qi Refining Realm three-tailed demon wolves, and have made great contributions.

With a level six spirit bird monitoring in the sky and a large number of Qi Refining Realm demon wolves tracking them on the ground, it would undoubtedly be a joke for the one million white flag soldiers trapped in Yizhou City to evacuate safely.

"This……"

After Dorgon finished speaking, Sahalian looked up at the sky and used his level 5 peak spiritual power to check the composition of the enemy forces outside the city. He was still unclear about what he had done and realized that he had made a low-level mistake.

A million-strong army trying to retreat would cause a huge noise. It sounds simple to hide it from the enemy and retreat into the nearby mountains and forests, but it is actually impossible to do so.

Once the enemy pursues our victory, a catastrophic defeat is inevitable.

"boom!"

"Rumble..."

While they were hesitating, the various land combat firearms battalions of the Renaissance Army outside the city were already ready. As a red flag was waved in the hands of a famous soldier, the densely packed psychic cannons lined up in a row began to fire in unison!
"Boom..."

The dazzling psychic shells bombarded the light curtain of the city defense formation of Yizhou City, and the city defense formation was immediately on the verge of collapse, with the light flickering in and out. According to this level of concentrated fire attack, the city defense formation can only hold out for a quarter of an hour at most, and will be broken due to energy exhaustion!
"These Restoration Army are so abominable!"

"We, the Later Jin clan, have already retreated to the Goguryeo Peninsula, but they still won't let us go!"

"If they want to kill our two white flags' millions of warriors, they must break their teeth!"

"Yes, yes! Let's fight them!"...

Seeing the enemy's overwhelming artillery fire, which could not be stopped by the strong city at all, the two white flag generals gathered at the west city gate tower all had fierce glares in their eyes and shouted in shock and anger.

Once upon a time, the Han people were like weak chickens and could only be slaughtered by them.

However, with the rapid rise of the Fusion Army in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, this situation was completely reversed in just a few years!

They were filled with shock and anger, knowing that they had no way out, and they immediately determined to die together with the enemy.

"Sahalian, as soon as our city defense formation is breached, you and I will each lead an army of 500,000 soldiers and break out in the east and south. How many warriors of our tribe can survive in the end depends on God's will."

Knowing that he was in a desperate situation, Dorgon's face turned pale. He could only reluctantly accept Sahalian's suggestion and issue the order to prepare for battle.

After the Battle of Liaodong, all the soldiers and civilians of the Later Jin Dynasty realized the cruel fact that the Fuxing Army would not accept their surrender.

There is only one way left: fight the enemy to the death!
Of course, it would be best if we could break through.

No one wants to die, especially when there is still a glimmer of hope.

"Well, Your Highness!"

"I will lead 500,000 soldiers of the Plain White Banner to the east, and you will lead 500,000 soldiers of the Bordered White Banner to the south. After breaking through with all your might, try to escape the pursuit of the Fuxing Army and head to Seoul to join the Khan."

Sahalian agreed in a deep voice.

The city was about to be broken, and they had no time to waste. They immediately ordered all the soldiers in the city to gather and quickly gather towards the east and south gates to form a formation and wait.

Now is not the best time to break out, because the city defense formation can still block the Renaissance Army. Once the formation is closed, the Renaissance Army's general offensive will undoubtedly be launched.

Moreover, because the enemy arrived too suddenly, the one million white flag soldiers stationed in Yizhou City had not yet made sufficient preparations to break out.

While the city defense formation is still in effect, this is a rare and precious time for us to take advantage of to complete the final preparations.

As for the Goguryeo people in Yizhou City, they can only wish for the best. We can’t take care of them now.

Although Huang Taiji has repeatedly emphasized in recent days that the Goguryeo people who have surrendered to the Later Jin clan under high pressure are the foundation of his future.

But now I can hardly protect myself, how can I have the energy to take care of them?
"Rumble..."

"Crackling..."

About a quarter of an hour later, just as the soldiers of the two white flags took their positions and formed their battle array, they saw the city defense formation covering Yizhou City suddenly shattered and turned into specks of light that disappeared.

"kill!"……

At the same time, deafening shouts of killing came from outside the west gate, which made Dorgon and Sahalian's faces change at the same time. They each urged the military formation connected with the energy of their soldiers, rushed out of the east gate and the south gate respectively, and flew towards the nearby mountainous area.

"Want to run?"

"Can you Tartars escape?"

"Soldiers, follow me!"

At the moment the city was broken, Cao Bianjiao, who led the soldiers of the Pixiu Legion to launch a charge, was the first to rush into the city. He immediately discovered the enemy's movements and shouted loudly, urging the military killing formation to transform into a thousand-foot-tall Pixiu beast. In just a few breaths, it crossed the Yizhou City, which was hundreds of miles in radius, and pursued the enemy in front relentlessly.

Having broken through to the late sixth level not long ago, Cao Bianjiao has become more than twice as powerful as before. With his full strength bursting out, he controls the army to charge forward like lightning.

Slightly slower than him was the Suzaku Army led by Hongmei herself.

Hongmei, who also broke through to the late sixth level, was only slightly slower than Cao Bianjiao in speed when she burst out with all her strength, and the gap was not that big.

However, unlike Cao Bianjiao who pursued southwards, Hongmei personally led 500,000 soldiers of the Suzaku Legion, quickly crossed the city of Yizhou, and then pursued eastwards the 500,000 soldiers of the Plain White Banner led by Sahalian.

"Liu Zhiqing, the aftermath of this Yizhou City will be handled by you leading the Qingluan Corps!"

"We two brothers must catch up with General Cao Bianjiao as soon as possible, wipe out the fleeing Tartars, and then head straight to Seoul to join the commander-in-chief!"

"As for the Iron Mountain City in the southeast, I'll leave it to you and the Phoenix Legion!"

You Shilu and You Shiwei, who were a step behind, became anxious when they saw the two white flag soldiers abandoning the city and fleeing. They whispered something to Liu Zhiqing in the distance, and then flew towards the south at full speed.

As for the Phoenix Legion led by Li Min, they followed the Suzaku Legion led by Hongmei and flew eastward.

These soldiers of the main corps of the Restoration Army who were chasing the enemy were all elite cavalrymen riding two horses each. They were skilled in military formations and superb riding skills, so there was no need to worry about not being able to catch up with the enemy.

After all, the two white flag soldiers who abandoned the city and fled were only slightly faster than them in leaving the city.

The morale of the army was far inferior to that of the Tartar soldiers, and it was not easy to escape from their pursuit.

What's more, there are nearly ten level six spirit birds in the sky leading the way, and the enemy's movements are always under their control.

This is also the two-pronged arrangement made by Hongmei.

It would be best if the Tartars' two white flags and one million soldiers chose to fight to the death with us in Yizhou City.

However, if the enemy chooses to abandon the city and flee after it is captured, it will be just like the implementation of the current pursuit plan.

The reason why Liu Zhiqing was appointed to be in charge of handling the aftermath of Yizhou City was mainly because he was a rising star in the army and had strong abilities in handling various military and government affairs, so naturally, those who are more capable should be given more work.

"Ha ha……"

Liu Zhiqing smiled after hearing this, then disbanded the army formation and ordered the 500,000 soldiers of the Qingluan Legion to form 50 teams of 10,000 people and sweep towards the chaotic Yizhou City in all directions.

The tens of millions of Goguryeo people in the city were already frightened out of their wits. Although all kinds of chaos occurred one after another, they were quickly suppressed by the soldiers.

The few Goguryeo people who took advantage of the situation were ruthlessly killed by the soldiers, and order in the city was quickly restored.

In less than an hour, the entire Yizhou City was completely controlled by the soldiers of the Restoration Army.
