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

Chapter 507: Taking advantage of the opportunity, attack and defense change

"Yes, Bishop Manas."

Coquila responded hastily.

He was able to be re-elected as the Governor of Manila for two terms as an exception. He himself is a genius and has now broken through to the initial level of the sixth-level mage. Naturally, he is not a fool.

"I will lead the soldiers of the Governor's Guard and form a battle formation with the soldiers of the treasure transport fleet led by General Wittes to resist Li Dingguo's attack."

"My Lord Bishop, you are leading the Vatican's magician corps. You must use long-range magic in the rear to coordinate the attack on the Renaissance Army led by Li Dingguo!"

"Only this combination of long-range and short-range tactics can stop the enemy's attack and strive to defeat them."

Not only was Coquela not stupid, but he was also very shrewd. After a little thought, he came up with a plan to deal with the enemy.

Bishop Manas is eyeing Li Dingguo's innate bell artifact and wants to take it for himself. Doesn't Coquila want the same thing?

He already has an innate top-grade artifact in his possession. If he can kill Li Dingguo in this battle and seize the dark yellow bell artifact, his own foundation will undoubtedly increase dramatically!

With the help of the artifact's recognition of its master, he might be able to take the opportunity to break through to the middle stage of the sixth-level magician and become a true top master in the Western white world.

At that time, perhaps it would be possible to use this opportunity to break free from the control of the Holy See of Light and establish a colonial kingdom overseas.

Ever since he broke through to the sixth-level mage realm, Coquila has understood through various signs that the soldiers and civilians from the Western countries are nothing more than cattle and horses of the two overlords of the two Vatican.

Not only does it have to provide new talented people to the two overlord-level forces, the Great Church of Light and the Church of Darkness, over the years, but it also allows the two major churches in the West to continue to grow and develop.

Moreover, they must provide devout faith to the Holy See and become tools for the two major forces of the Holy See to collect the power of faith and transform faith crystals.

All human beings, no matter which ethnic group they belong to, have emotions and selfish desires.

Western white barbarians who put personal interests first are naturally no exception.

However, under the long-term high-pressure rule of the two major Western churches, any individuals or groups who wanted to resist or betray the church were mostly labeled as "pagans" and were brutally suppressed and killed.

But this cannot eliminate the rebellious mentality of all Western people and prevent them from enduring it willingly forever.

There are many nobles like Coquila who have great ambitions.

It's just that without the ability to compete with the Holy See, it has been living in misery.

But now the rules of the world have changed greatly. All kinds of natural treasures are emerging in an endless stream, and innate and acquired magical tools and spiritual roots appear one after another. It can be said that we have ushered in an era of great contention.

If you have enough strength to protect yourself, who would be willing to be a dog forever?

Once Governor Coquila can go one step further and seize Li Dingguo's innate super artifact and make another breakthrough in his cultivation realm, he will undoubtedly have the confidence to break away from the control of the Western Church and establish his own kingdom overseas.

Although the two major Western churches are powerful, they are still far from being able to control the Eastern world.

This big world is so vast, and the area that the two major churches in the Western world can absolutely control is only the small European continent.

The current thoughts and calculations in Governor Coquela's mind are based on the possibility of defeating the Restoration Army and destroying Li Dingguo.

At least at this critical moment of life and death, Coquela's goal is consistent with Father Manas.

"it is good!"

Bishop Manas readily agreed to Governor Coqueira's suggestion, which undoubtedly hit the mark.

He immediately ordered General Wittes who was not far away, "Wittes, you will lead the remaining 120,000 soldiers of the treasure transport fleet to join forces with the Governor to block the offensive of the Renaissance Army!"

"The magician corps I lead will support you from the rear!"

"Everyone, the rumored Restoration Army is extremely brutal. Everyone has heard about it. The other side will never accept prisoners! This battle is related to everyone's life and death. If we don't win, we will die. No one can escape!"

In order to arouse everyone's fighting spirit, Father Manas emphasized it specifically.

"Yes! Your Excellency the Bishop!"...

All the generals, including Coquela and Vitus, were startled and responded loudly.

It was the first time for them to encounter the Restoration Army, an enemy force that did not observe gentlemanly manners.

In the past, you could surrender and pay a ransom to save your life during war, but this is completely useless with the Restoration Army.

"when……"

At this time, Governor Coquila, who led the army to defend, activated his own divine weapon, the Fire God Pearl, and once again clashed with the attacking dark yellow bell. As expected, he was knocked away and retreated more than a hundred feet.

In contrast, Li Dingguo's natal artifact, the Chaos Bell, simply stopped moving and shook a few times in place.

It is obvious that Coquela, like Bishop Manas, was at an absolute disadvantage in the confrontation with Li Dingguo.

But no matter what, this also bought Father Manas and General Wittes time to change their formation.

Following General Wittes behind him, he led the 120,000 soldiers of the treasure transport fleet forward and formed a joint defense formation with Governor Coquila's Guards. Father Manas led the Vatican's 1,000-man magician corps to launch a long-range magic attack behind the army formation!
"Whoosh..."

Colorful magic rose up and bombarded the shield of the incoming enemy army, causing ripples.

With the combined counterattack of the three-dimensional formation, nearly 300,000 soldiers of the Western white people finally blocked Li Dingguo's army from advancing straight ahead. For a while, both sides fell into a stalemate of war.

Although the 150,000 troops led by Li Dingguo had amazing combat effectiveness, the full-strength joint defense of Manila was also not bad, at least they could tie the two sides in a short period of time.

"He Lijing, we will each lead a team of naval officers and soldiers, activate the military formation and launch a charge!"

The remaining soldiers of the Fuxing Army near the big pier had already lined up and organized their troops. Huang Lan, who was very experienced in warfare, saw the enemy coming out in full force and temporarily blocked the offensive of the commander-in-chief. His eyes turned cold and he said to He Lijing, the commander of the second fleet.

"Although the combat effectiveness of these white Hu people's joint three-dimensional defense operations seems to be good, it is only good."

"We will each lead 150,000 soldiers and take a detour from the left and right sides of the battlefield ahead. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the commander-in-chief is fighting with the enemy army, we will attack Manila in one fell swoop and capture the city as quickly as possible to cut off the enemy's retreat!" "Originally, we still need to spend a lot of time and energy to break through the defense of Manila, but the enemy is so ignorant that they dare to send the main force of the army out of the city to counterattack, giving up the defensive advantage of this strong city. It is undoubtedly seeking its own death!"

The current battlefield situation is very clear. The main force of the enemy army has all left the city and is fighting with the legion led by the commander-in-chief himself, and the situation is in a stalemate.

But this time the Restoration Army came on a long-distance attack, with two fleets of 600,000 naval officers and soldiers.

In addition to the 100,000 soldiers who are now staying behind and are responsible for receiving a large number of enemy treasure ships, there are also 50,000 soldiers in the Marine Firearms Battalion, and 150,000 soldiers who are fighting with the enemy, there are still 300,000 fresh troops left.

In addition, there is Huang Lan, who has just broken through to the early stage of level six, and He Lijing, who broke through to the early stage of level six a year ago. These two talented generals of the Renaissance Army are in command here.

Governor Coquela and Father Manas both thought that among this long-distance sea-crossing Restoration Army, except for the legion led by Li Dingguo himself, the remaining naval officers and soldiers did not have much combat effectiveness on land.

As long as they could defeat the main army led by Li Dingguo, they would have secured victory, but they ignored the 300,000 soldiers of the Fuxing Army assembled at the big wharf.

"Okay, let's take action now!"

"We took advantage of the fact that the three enemy armies were unable to split their forces and Manila was not only completely empty, but also the city defense formation was temporarily closed. We rushed into the city and secured victory."

He Lijing quickly agreed.

The reason why the two of them have not yet gone to join the battle was mainly because they were covering their two Marine artillery battalions' soldiers when the enemy formed a formation and went out of the city to counterattack, and temporarily retreated from the front line to the rear to avoid unnecessary casualties.

After the enemy brazenly launched a counterattack out of the city, our firearms battalion had completed the mission of siege the city and had to immediately retreat from the front line to a safe area in the rear.

Thanks to the well-trained soldiers of the Fusion Army's Marine Firearms Battalion, in just a quarter of an hour, 50,000 soldiers along with the psychic artillery had been safely evacuated to the rear of the battlefield, allowing Huang Lan and He Lijing to free up their hands to carry out the next plan.

"Seven Star Bagua Formation, activate!"...

After finishing their discussion, He Lijing and Huang Lan each flashed back to the hub of a military killing array that was already in place, and with their minds fully focused, they activated their killing array abilities almost simultaneously.

The martial arts images of the two of them flashed out and connected with the Qi of the soldiers, transforming into a Vermillion Bird divine beast and an Ice Luan divine beast, each about six hundred feet in size. Then they soared into the sky and flew around to the left and right sides of the battlefield in front of them!

In just a blink of an eye, before the enemy could react, they rushed into the city of Manila with its gates wide open!

This low-level mistake made by Governor Coquela and Father Manas was seized in time by the battle-hardened Huang Lan and He Lijing, who easily broke into the city. It seemed like a big gift package from the enemy.

Even though Huang Lan and He Lijing had experienced countless wars of varying sizes over the years, this was the first time they had broken into a city so easily and happily.

It has to be said that the war thinking of the white Hu people is not at the same level as that of the Eastern world.

The reason why they made such a low-level mistake was that Governor Coquela and Father Manas underestimated Li Dingguo's fighting ability.

Not only was their all-out counterattack easily blocked by Li Dingguo himself and his 100,000 soldiers, but they were even at a disadvantage in the stalemate.

After successfully entering the city, the soldiers of the Fuxing Army were quickly divided into six battalions according to the plan, each with 50,000 people.

Four battalions of soldiers went to occupy the four city gates respectively. The remaining two battalions of 50,000 people, led by Huang Lan personally, carried out a brutal massacre of the white Hu people in the city, washing the city of Manila dry with blood!
As for the East Gate, which was used to cut off the enemy's retreat outside the city, it was guarded by He Lijing and 50,000 soldiers.

"not good!"

"The enemy has taken advantage of the situation and invaded Manila!"

The adjutant of the Governor's Office, Redis, noticed something was wrong and quickly shouted to Governor Coquila, who was controlling his life-saving artifact, the Fire God Pearl, to fight against Li Dingguo, "Your Excellency Governor, the enemy's army left behind the battlefield took advantage of our lack of manpower and suddenly launched a charge, bypassing the main battlefield here and rushing into Manila City!"

"We have tens of millions of people in the city and two million family members of soldiers. Although there are many fighters among them, they can't stop the enemy's regular army attack! This is terrible!"

He also could not have imagined that his momentary mistake would leave such a big backdoor, which was taken advantage of by the enemy.

"Redis, you must lead 50,000 soldiers away from the battlefield and recapture the East Gate in the rear. Quickly!"

Governor Coquela quickly looked up at the city of Manila behind him. He was so anxious that he wanted to vomit blood. He immediately gave an order to his adjutant Redis.

There was no way he could not be anxious.

His family, including his children and wife, were all in the Governor's Mansion, and there were less than a thousand personal soldiers left behind. How could he stop the invasion of the enemy army?
What's more, the retreat route is now blocked by the enemy, and the main force of our army is being tightly entangled by Li Dingguo. This is not much different from being caught in a jar by the enemy.

Especially their own fleet's treasure ships, which had all been captured by the Restoration Army fleet. Even if they wanted to escape, there was no way to go!

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor!"

Major Radis quickly agreed and after spending about an incense stick of time, he finally managed to separate a 50,000-man Governor's Guard from Li Dingguo's fierce attack. They left the battlefield and immediately rushed towards the East Gate.

However, He Lijing, who had already occupied the East Gate, took advantage of the tall city walls to completely block Radis' intention to lead his troops back to the city.

The two sides switched positions and launched a fierce siege.

It’s true that Radis is an early-stage sixth-level Dou Wang warrior, but He Lijing is also an early-stage sixth-level warrior.

Neither of them has their own divine weapon, their fighting power is almost the same, and the number of soldiers under their command is the same. No matter which side is, it is impossible to win in a short time.

Moreover, as the defender of the city, He Lijing now has a considerable advantage.

Although the exasperated Redis led 50,000 soldiers of the Governor's Guard to launch a fierce attack on the East Gate, he was at a considerable disadvantage and could not even think about retaking the gate and entering the city to stop the Renaissance Army.

"My Lord, what should we do now?"

During the rare respite in the battle with Li Dingguo, Governor Coquila finally saw the current situation clearly and hurriedly sent a message to Father Manas, "The 100,000-man army led by Li Dingguo has been fighting with our three legions for so long, and not only has it not been exhausted, but it has become more and more courageous!"

"None of our three legions can leave the battlefield and return to the city for support!"

“Manila is finished!”

It was not until now that he realized that he had completely underestimated Li Dingguo's fighting ability, thus putting his side in a dilemma.

At this moment, he no longer had the idea of ​​killing people and stealing treasures as before, and he was completely confused.
