The soldiers of the Immortal Golden Immortal were hungry, but Li Zheng's soldiers were feasting not far away, eating meat and drinking wine. They were very happy. This was naturally done deliberately by Li Zheng, so that the soldiers of the Immortal Golden Immortal could see that they could not eat.
to break down their resistance psychologically.
As expected, the scene of Li Zheng's soldiers eating large bowls of meat and drinking large bowls of wine made all the soldiers of the Immortal Golden Immortal feel dejected and lost all will to fight. After all, hunger is the most unbearable thing, not to mention that they are still facing a life-and-death battle at any time.
The soldiers of the Immortal Golden Immortal are about to collapse.
A few days later, some of the hungry enemy soldiers chose to surrender. They quietly came to the front line and surrendered to Li Zheng's army less than three miles away from Taiping Town, just to get a full meal. In the face of hunger, not many people can
Can resist the temptation of delicious food.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Zheng ordered the entire army to shout in unison and shouted the slogan "surrender without killing" to induce the enemy soldiers to surrender voluntarily.
Li Zheng used this strategy at the right time. The enemy soldiers who had been trapped and hungry for several days surrendered one after another, and even their commanders could not stop them. Although some enemy commanders ordered to behead some of those who wanted to surrender.
The soldiers temporarily curbed their subordinates' desire to surrender, but this caused some riots and made them internally unstable.
In one day, nearly one hundred thousand soldiers of the Immortal Golden Immortal surrendered. They were imprisoned together, put in shackles, and became prisoners of war.
After Li Zheng gave these prisoners of war a good meal, he selected some who were truly willing to surrender and ordered them to bring delicious food to the front line to recruit their comrades to surrender. Li Zheng's move was surprisingly effective, and in just half a day, he surrendered again.
Nearly one hundred thousand people.
Two hundred thousand prisoners of war were ordered by Li Zheng to be imprisoned in a quiet valley twenty miles away from Taiping Town. They were put in shackles and had their spiritual power sealed away, so they had no way to resist. This was for safety's sake, after all.
They are enemies. Once they are fed and drunk, they may rebel again.
There are currently 300,000 troops in Taiping Town. They are unwilling to surrender and have withstood the temptation of Li Zheng's delicious food.
These 300,000 remaining enemy soldiers should all be close followers of the Immortal Golden Immortal. They were unwilling to surrender, even if they were hungry, and even if they knew they would die if they did not surrender. Li Zheng did not force it, and after sending people to negotiate to no avail, he decisively issued the order
Attacking, millions of troops who had rested for several days swarmed forward and annihilated the 300,000 hungry and dizzy enemy soldiers in Taiping Town.
From the outbreak to the end of the battle in Taiping Town, Yongsheng Jinxian failed to send a single soldier to support the rescue. Anyone who knew the inside story knew that it was not that Yongsheng Jinxian was unwilling to send troops for rescue, but that he simply did not have any reinforcements.
Can reach Taiping Town. The reinforcements of the Immortal Golden Immortal were all blocked by the troops of Qilin Kingdom, Feixian Kingdom and Red Dragon Kingdom, and could not get even half a step closer to Taiping Town.
There was no peace in Taiping Town. Rivers of blood flowed and corpses piled up like mountains. It was too horrible to look at. After this battle, no one dared to enter this area for a long time. The world sealed this area as a forbidden land and called it the "Land of Death".
Some people also call this area of Taiping Town a "battlefield of death." Anyone who knows about this battle warns those around them not to enter this area if nothing happens, because there are too many innocent souls here and the yin energy is too strong. You will encounter people after entering.
to all kinds of unexplainable strange events.
Someone once tried to enter, but all those who entered felt chills on their backs and creepy hair, and had to withdraw quickly.
Three hundred thousand enemy troops in Taiping Town were wiped out, and Pingyi City was finally captured by the Qilin Kingdom. If this battle is counted from the last attack, the duration was not short, but compared to many large battles
, the time it takes is not too long.
Li Zheng was personally commended by Qi Feihong, and all the soldiers who participated in the war were rewarded, promoted to officers, or given spiritual coins and magic weapons. The families of the sacrificed soldiers also received the compensation they deserved, and Qi Feihong did not forget them.
After this battle, Qi Feihong ordered the army to rest for a month, and at the same time ordered Li Zheng to count the soldiers. He wanted to know how many soldiers in the Qilin Kingdom could continue the Northern Expedition.
The Northern Expedition has just begun. After Pingyi City, there are still many cities that need to be conquered by the Qilin Kingdom's army, and there are still many enemies that need to be destroyed by the Qilin Kingdom's soldiers.
Li Zheng did not dare to hide anything this time, and ordered his people to report the number of soldiers of his Third Army. The Third Army was the main force attacking Pingyi City and suffered heavy casualties. Since the war began, the number of soldiers who died has reached
An astonishing 250,000 people were injured, and more than 30,000 were seriously injured and unable to continue fighting. The total loss was 280,000 soldiers.
However, the Third Army accepted more than 200,000 surrendered enemy troops, and recruited tens of thousands of new soldiers from Pingyi City. Some people came to join the army voluntarily because of their reputation. The total number actually increased instead of decreasing, reaching one hundred and eleven.
More than 100,000 people.
Li Zheng took more than 100,000 soldiers from the Third Army to add to other armies participating in the war to make up for the personnel losses of those armies. The Third Army still has one million soldiers. They are still the main force of the Northern Expedition, and they still have to fight against Li Zheng.
Under the commander-in-chief, the Northern Expedition continued until the Immortal Golden Immortal was completely defeated.
Qi Feihong ordered other armies to garrison the captured Pingyi City, Yinlingzi City and Yulei City on the spot. The First Army heavily guarded Yulei City to prevent the enemy from counterattack. Yinlingzi City and Chiyou City, the capital of Yongsheng Jinxian,
At the border, Qi Feihong ordered Li Zheng to lead the Third Army to garrison directly, and at the same time be prepared to attack at any time.
Jin Xing and Yu Wenxian each led their troops to attack the northern city. Although they did not achieve as obvious results as the Qilin Kingdom, they were able to contain a lot of the Yongsheng Jinxian's troops, which could be regarded as fulfilling the responsibilities and obligations of allies.
After the battle in Pingyi City, everything was in ruins. Qi Feihong ordered Jiang Jun, who had just completed the task of building the main hall of the Imperial Palace, to personally lead people to Pingyi City to repair the buildings that were damaged in the war and quickly restore Pingyi City.
Infrastructure construction so that the people of Pingyi City can quickly settle down.
Jiang Junzi went to work on this big project that took a lot of time to complete. He was familiar with the road and Qi Feihong hardly had to worry about it.
Besides, Yu Wenxian sent troops to attack Xingtian City, but the progress was very unsatisfactory. They encountered stubborn resistance from the Immortal Golden Immortal and lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but there was no hope of breaking the city. Perhaps it was because the entire Pingyi City defenders were wiped out.
Moreover, Yongsheng Jinxian lost five cities in a row and lost nearly half of his territory. Yongsheng Jinxian did not want to lose his second capital, Xingtian City. When facing Yu Wenxian, he was very stubborn and refused to give in.
Yu Wenxian personally went to the front line to command the battle, but the effect was still not good, and Xingtian City could not be captured. Yu Wenchao, the third prince of Yu Wenxian, personally charged into the battle, but still failed to capture Xingtian City.
After a long attack with no results, Yu Wenxian had no choice but to send people to Qi Feihong for help, hoping that Qi Feihong would send people to support them and help them capture Xingtian City.
Qi Feihong personally entertained Yu Wenxian's envoys, but he never personally promised to send troops to assist in the war. The envoys did not dare to ask more questions. After waiting for two days with no results, they could only bid farewell to Qi Feihong, frustrated.
Leave Qilin City.
After Yu Wenxian's envoy left, all the ministers speculated about Qi Feihong's intentions. They all thought that Qi Feihong was unwilling to help because of Yu Wenxian's previous actions. After all, Yu Wenxian had done some things before that were not a gentleman.
However, Shangqing San and Zhao Hai believed that the Qilin Kingdom and the Red Dragon Kingdom were allies and could not sit idly by and allow the soldiers of the Red Dragon Kingdom to be killed by the Immortal Golden Immortal. They came to see Qi Feihong together and wanted to persuade Qi Feihong.
Feihong sent troops. Qi Feihong knew what they meant, and after meeting with the two of them, he kept talking about it without giving them a chance to talk about it.
Although Shangqing Sanren was Qi Feihong's master, he could not force Qi Feihong, the leader of the country, to listen to him. In the end, he could only endure the anxiety in his heart and say goodbye with Zhao Hai. They felt that Qi Feihong was
He really didn't want to help. Although this was different from Qi Feihong's usual approach, the two people who knew the inside story couldn't persuade him any more.
Judging from the fact that Qi Feihong personally entertained Yu Wenxian's envoys, he would not ignore it, but if he didn't say what he was going to do, no one would know. Qi Feihong was definitely not someone who would just sit back and ignore the difficulties of his allies.
Man, he is just afraid that he has some secret moves that cannot be known by others.
