A few days later, Jin Min came to report that the inventory of Qilin City had been completed and first-hand information had been obtained, requesting that the new policy be implemented immediately.
Qi Feihong thought it was too hasty and was worried that there would be problems with the first-hand information, so the Ministry of Life and Punishment sent people to conduct a secondary inspection to verify the first-hand information to ensure its accuracy.
Qi Feihong knew that no mistakes could be made at the beginning of the reform, otherwise, everything might stop there. He ordered the Ministry of Punishment to verify the first-hand information collected by Jin Min. Although it would consume a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, it would also delay a lot of time.
It takes less time, but you can find erroneous information and avoid making mistakes in the first place.
The Ministry of Punishment verified the first-hand information and reported it to Qi Feihong for review a few days later. The first-hand information was very accurate, with small deviations. Qi Feihong ordered Jin Min to correct the deviations in the first-hand information before ordering the implementation of the new policy.
, piloted in Qilin City.
Jin Min was fully responsible for it, and nearly 100,000 people from various departments including the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Punishment worked together to publicize the New Deal to every citizen of Qilin City within a few days. During this process, it was inevitable that some people would feel uncomfortable and want to
For those who wanted to cause trouble or seek an explanation, Qi Feihong's Ministry of Life and Punishment sent personnel to receive these people and patiently explained and persuaded them, so that most people accepted the new deal.
There are very few people who don't listen to persuasion and explanations, so the Ministry of Punishment can only use some last resort means to temporarily control them and prevent them from making trouble. In any time and place, there are always people who don't listen to persuasion and like to be independent. This
Humanoids either have their own problems, or were deceived by others. They did not think things through for a while and made wrong decisions. Such people should be controlled first and slowly influenced. Most of them can still be persuaded and obey the new management.
.
Qilin City will implement a new policy from the next month. Many people will no longer enjoy the various previous policies, and many people will enjoy more and better policies.
The people of Qilin City were talking a lot for a while, some understood and some were confused. Qi Feihong ordered people to explain again and again to those who were confused. The New Deal was gradually accepted by most people, but only a few people always had opinions. These people
There was no trouble, after all, it was wartime, the punishments were heavier, and they knew not to violate the country's laws at will and cause trouble for themselves.
Qilin City has been piloting the new policy for a period of time, and the effect is quite good. The vast majority of people are willing to obey the new policy management and praise the new policy as more reasonable.
After listening to the feedback from some people, Qi Feihong issued an order to extend the new policy to every city in Qilin Kingdom.
Qi Feihong doesn't know whether other cities will promote the New Deal as smoothly as Qilin City, but he is confident.
At this time, Li Zheng's army, with the cooperation of the First Army and the soldiers around the city, finally broke into Pingyi City and began to engage in a head-on battle with the army deployed by Yongsheng Jinxian in Pingyi City. This was a big deal.
Qi Feihong was pleased with the progress and issued an order to commend the soldiers who participated in the battle. At the same time, he also asked Li Zheng to continue the attack and be sure to capture Pingyi City.
Li Zheng received Qi Feihong's order and ordered the entire army to attack and start a battle with the soldiers deployed by Yongsheng Jinxian in Pingyi City.
This battle was of great scale. Both sides invested an unprecedented amount of troops. Millions of soldiers fought in Pingyi City for several days, with rivers of blood flowing and murderous intent rising to the sky. The entire Pingyi City was ignited by the flames of war, with thick smoke billowing everywhere.
Like a mountain of corpses...
The soldiers of the Qilin Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom were fighting to the death, each refusing to give in. The casualties were huge, and it was difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.
In order to reduce casualties, Li Zheng adjusted his tactics and personally commanded the Third Army to fight the enemy head-on. At the same time, he asked Chi Yan to lead the First Army to attack from behind the enemy's back to share part of the enemy's strength with Li Zheng's army fighting in the front and reduce pressure.
.
The main force of Huangfu Xiaoming's Fourth Army launched an attack from the west of Pingyi City, which also dispersed part of the enemy's forces. However, Huangfu Xiaoming's Fourth Army encountered stubborn resistance from the enemy at the beginning. Not to mention the slow progress, he himself
The losses were also huge, and there was a lot of dissatisfaction among the Fourth Army, which almost caused unrest.
Fortunately, Huangfu Xiaoming adjusted his tactics in time and the casualties were reduced. The soldiers of the Fourth Army saw hope and returned to peace.
Even though the Qilin Kingdom was besieged on three sides, Li Zheng's army, which was fighting head-on, was still under great pressure. They paid a heavy price and only ended up in a draw with the enemy. The Immortal Golden Immortal was determined to show off the Qilin Kingdom, and the troops he sent were very powerful.
He refused to give an inch and blocked the three armies of the Qilin Kingdom.
Li Zheng adjusted his tactics several times in succession, but still to no avail. In the face of absolute strength, any tactics seemed to have little effect.
After knowing the news, Qi Feihong decisively sent the garrison of Qilin City to Pingyi City to support him. In addition to the garrison of Qilin City, Qi Feihong also transferred some soldiers from the garrison of other cities to Pingyi City to support Li Zheng.
Suddenly, the number of Li Zheng's soldiers increased by hundreds of thousands, and his strength increased greatly. He attacked Pingyi City again and gradually took the initiative on the battlefield.
Under the command of Li Zheng, the army attacked continuously for several days. Tens of thousands of enemy troops in Pingyi City were wiped out. With more people comes strength. For the first time, Qilin Kingdom's army gained the upper hand and defeated the defenders of Yongsheng Jinxian.
The ghosts cry and the wolves howl.
It is a pity that Yongsheng Jinxian issued a death order. Although the enemy troops suffered huge losses, no one dared to surrender or escape, and the Qilin Kingdom's army failed to successfully occupy Pingyi City. Yongsheng Jinxian did not allow anyone to retreat.
Half a step, otherwise they will be killed without mercy, which will cause the enemy army to hold on and not retreat, and the Qilin Kingdom's army will not be able to attack for a long time.
After Qi Feihong knew the order of the Immortal Golden Immortal, he also promulgated a decree. He encouraged the soldiers to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, and promised to reward them based on their merits, and to make them officials and nobles. When the soldiers learned of Qi Feihong's order, everyone rushed to be the first and fought bravely.
The enemy caused greater losses to the army of Immortal Golden Immortal.
According to the statistics collected by Li Zheng's men, the total number of Yongsheng Jinxian's soldiers who are killed or captured every day is around 30,000. This is no small matter. If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be long before Yongsheng Jinxian's soldiers are killed or captured.
There will be very few of the million-strong army deployed in Pingyi City.
As time went by, in just half a month, the number of defenders in Pingyi City dropped sharply to 500,000. Moreover, half of the 500,000 defenders were injured, and some soldiers were even seriously injured and could no longer survive.
Keep fighting.
However, Li Zheng's side was constantly being supplemented by troops, and the number of soldiers increased instead of decreasing, reaching 1.3 million. Li Zheng decided to take advantage of the enemy's reinforcements being held back by Yu Wenxian of the Red Dragon Kingdom.
The overwhelming force attack tactics quickly captured Pingyi City.
Qi Feihong received Li Zheng's request for troops and issued an order to approve it. Li Zheng then ordered the army to attack in an all-out manner. He advanced rapidly with several times the number of soldiers of the enemy, occupied most of the territory of Pingyi City, and suppressed the enemy forces in Pingyi City.
Within a small area.
Li Zheng did not stop there, but ordered the army to continue attacking, further reducing the range of activities that the enemy could move. This was Li Zheng's idea at this time, closing the door and beating the dogs, and it was also Li Zheng's revenge for the previous attack.
After the army surrounded the enemy's remnants in a small town, Li Zheng suddenly ordered the attack to stop. He ordered the army to encircle the enemy on all sides, trapping the enemy in this small town called Taiping Town.
Half a million enemy troops were forced to huddle in this small town called Taiping Town, causing the entire town to be overcrowded. The original residents had to flee one after another, but all of them were caught by Li Zheng's army and temporarily imprisoned.
stand up.
Among the fleeing people were many enemy soldiers who wanted to escape. Li Zheng couldn't tell them apart for a while, so he could only catch them all and interrogate them when he had time to find out the enemy soldiers among them.
Even if the Immortal Golden Immortal issued a death order and no one was allowed to retreat or surrender, at this moment, there are still people trying to escape against the Immortal Golden Immortal's order. People are afraid of death, and demon cultivators are also human beings, so how can they do that?
Is everyone not afraid of death?
Taiping Town was not a big town to begin with, but suddenly there were nearly half a million Immortal Golden Immortal soldiers. Food, shelter, etc. were all in short supply. In less than two days, everyone in the town ran out of food. The Immortal Golden Immortal soldiers were everywhere.
They robbed food, but there were only a few residents in Taiping Town, and the food hoarded could not satisfy the consumption of an army of 500,000 people, so it was of no use at all.
Li Zheng's army surrounded and refused to attack, but no one was allowed to leave Taiping Town for even half a step. His purpose was obvious, which was to use the lack of food and grass in Taiping Town to defeat the enemy, and to make the enemy's army self-defeating without attacking.
