Qi Feihong did not expect that Gruss was a hesitant person, so he lowered his expectations for him. He knew that he might be too eager to have a real general by his side. He thought highly of the rumor that he loved the people like a son and was good at fighting with soldiers. of Grus.
Qi Feihong waited for a while, but seeing that Grus still couldn't make up his mind, he couldn't help but ask: "Among you, who is General Grus's strategist?"
Zhang Yue said: "Most of the usual decisions are made by Shan Lei who is next to Yongsheng Jinxian. General Grus and his subordinates just follow orders. Although we seem to have received preferential treatment from Yongsheng Jinxian, and Chongyong, but we are surrenderers after all, and the Immortal Golden Immortal always suspects that we have second thoughts and will not completely trust us."
Qi Feihong frowned, feeling quite disappointed. He originally thought that Grus was a general who was good at fighting, as powerful as Li Zheng and the others, and wanted to take him into his own hands. Only now did he know that this character Russ did not have any outstanding military talents. The reason why he was able to perform well in previous wars was only because Shan Lei was advising him behind him.
Qi Feihong knew that Shan Lei was good at strategy, and he also knew that Shan Lei was the elder of Qiankun Cave and a confidant of the Immortal Golden Immortal.
Li Zheng knew what Qi Feihong had been thinking before, and he also showed a look of disappointment at this time. He clasped his fists and said, "Master, since General Gruss cannot make a decision in a short time, let's ask General Gruss to go down and think about it." Think about it.”
Qi Feihong nodded: "Come here, take General Gruss down to rest." After a pause, Qi Feihong continued: "Zhang Yue, Guo Tianlin, since you are willing to follow me, then I will order you to follow General Li Zheng. From now on, follow the command of General Li Zheng. If there are meritorious service, rewards will be given based on merit. If there are those who violate laws and disciplines, military law will be ruthless. You and others are the same as the original soldiers of Qilin Kingdom, and there will be no deviation in rewards and punishments. "
Zhang Yue, Guo Tianlin and others said together: "Thank you, Lord, for forgiving us. We will do our best to fight for the world of immortality and the Qilin Kingdom..."
Qi Feihong nodded slightly: "General Li Zheng and General Li Tianxing are currently preparing for the final decisive battle in Houqing City. Before that, we must assist Yu Wenxian to capture Gonggong City. I want the general to take them with him and bring 200,000 Soldiers, we will set off tomorrow to go to Gonggong City to assist Lord Yu Wenxian. I wonder what General Li Zheng’s wishes are?”
Li Zheng said: "I obey the order. I will prepare now and set off early tomorrow morning."
Qi Feihong said: "General hard work. This battle is the last battle before the decisive battle between our Qilin Kingdom and the Immortal Golden Immortal. General, please do your best to clear out the enemy's main force and prepare for the final decisive battle."
Li Zheng said: "I understand. Lord, please rest assured. I will do my best to kill the enemy and eliminate the power of the Immortal Golden Immortal."
Qi Feihong said: "General, you should also pay attention to safety and start a battle with the main force of the Immortal Golden Immortal. There are too many demon cultivators among them. It will be very difficult to kill them and the danger will increase. What I want is that the loss is small enough. victory, the general must keep this in mind."
Li Zheng said: "Don't worry, Lord. I have been fighting against the Immortal Golden Immortal for a long time, and I already know the strength of his army of demon cultivators. We have countermeasures, and the losses will not be too great."
Qi Feihong nodded: "In that case, general, go and prepare now. I have ordered people to prepare the necessary materials for the expedition army, and they will be ready within today. If general, if you have other needs, you can always ask Lord Jin Minjin .”
Li Zheng nodded, thanked Qi Feihong, and left Qilin Hall with Zhang Yue and others. Gruss was also taken away by Li Zheng, saying that he wanted to give him time to think about it, but he was afraid that Gruss would not be treated well when he left.
Qi Feihong waited for the arrival of Grus with full hope, but the result was like this. He was disappointed in his heart, and he would no longer be indecisive about his character. He had no real talent and even some indifference between right and wrong. The slightly dull Grus was no longer able to distinguish between right and wrong. What big expectations.
The next day, Li Zheng bid farewell to Qi Feihong and set off with an army of 200,000, passing through the teleportation array directly to Xingtian City, which is closest to Gonggong City. Xingtian City is the city of the Immortal Golden Immortal occupied by Yu Wenxian. Li Zheng's army went directly and had to ask Yu Wenxian for permission first, which would inevitably waste some time. Fortunately, Yu Wenxian knew that Li Zheng's army was going to help them capture Gonggong City, so he welcomed them very much and had no intention of making things difficult.
The battle of Gonggong City officially started three days later. Yu Wenxian's army was the main attack, assisted by Li Zheng's army, and they launched a full-scale attack. They fought desperately with the defenders of Yongsheng Jinxian at the south gate of Gonggong City.
Knowing that he had no way to retreat, the Immortal Golden Immortal commanded the army to resist tenaciously and refused to give in. He fought with the allied forces of the Red Dragon Kingdom and the Qilin Kingdom for several days under the city. Both sides suffered numerous casualties, but no one took a step back.
The two sides were locked in a bitter offensive and defensive battle, with more than a million troops fighting back and forth under Gonggong City all day long. Rivers of blood flowed below Gonggong City, and corpses piled up like mountains. It was too horrible to see. When people passing by saw this scene from a distance, they were all frightened and turned pale, as if they saw a hell on earth.
After seven days of fighting like this, Gonggong City was still unbroken. The morale of the soldiers who attacked the city was hit. Everyone felt that it was too difficult to attack Gonggong City, and they inevitably wanted to retreat. The enemy soldiers guarding the city actually felt the same way. They felt deeply the difficulty of defending the city, and they all had the idea of giving up.
At this time, what matters to the outcome of the battle is morale. Whether it is Yu Wenxian, Li Zheng, or the Immortal Golden Immortal, they are all trying to find ways to improve the morale of their soldiers and encourage them to persevere.
The Immortal Golden Immortal did it very directly. He stripped off part of his own magic power, refined it into magic crystal, and gave it to the soldiers guarding the city. He also promised the soldiers that if they defended Gonggong City, he would directly ask the Immortal King for magic crystals, which would then be given directly to the soldiers to enhance their strength.
The demon cultivator's desire for the magic crystal is like the fish's desire for water. Knowing this news, the soldiers under the Immortal Golden Immortal all cheered up. Their morale was high for a while, and they took the initiative to attack, catching Yu Wenxian off guard and leaving him behind. killed tens of thousands of soldiers.
The 200,000 Qilin soldiers brought by Li Zheng were lucky enough to escape this disaster, because Li Zheng wanted to improve morale. After discussing with Yu Wenxian, he took the soldiers away from the battlefield and arrived a hundred miles away from the south gate of Gonggong City. They went hunting in Fengming Valley, just in time to avoid the enemy's counterattack, and the soldiers were unscathed.
The Immortal Golden Immortal was so happy that he won the counterattack that he appeared on the wall of Gonggong City in person, rewarded the soldiers, and personally issued instructions to go out of the city to counterattack again.
This time Yu Wenxian and Li Zheng were both prepared. After the Yongsheng Jinxian's army left the city, Yu Wenxian's army came out from the left and Li Zheng's army surrounded them on the right. They almost got dumped.
Although the Immortal Golden Immortal hurriedly ordered his army to withdraw to Gonggong City, he also left behind tens of thousands of soldiers, most of whom were close followers of the Immortal Golden Immortal and demon cultivators who had always followed him. Demonic cultivators are not easy to kill, but they will still be killed if they receive a fatal blow.
The Immortal Golden Immortal was heartbroken and scolded Yu Wenxian and Li Zheng for being cunning. At the same time, he also realized the power of his opponents and began to worry about his own situation. The Immortal Golden Immortal finally understood the reason why Lu Hao did not last long under Li Zheng, and also knew that he really needed to be more cautious when facing Li Zheng.
Some of the generals under Yongsheng Jinxian proposed to divide their troops from Kuafu City to repel the coalition forces of Yu Wenxian and Li Zheng. Considering that Li Tianxing's army was watching around Kuafu City, Yongsheng Jinxian did not dare to mobilize the defenders guarding Kuafu City. Gonggong City assisted in the defense, but his generals mistakenly thought that Yongsheng Jinxian was planning to abandon Gonggong City and defend Kuafu City alone.
The Immortal Golden Immortal seemed not good at explaining too much, so some of his soldiers misunderstood what he meant.
I don't know who told this news. For a while, the soldiers guarding the city were panicked, their morale dropped, and they had no intention of continuing to defend the city. Morale is most important at this time. Once morale is damaged, it is extremely difficult to restore it.
After the Immortal Golden Immortal found out, although he tried his best to refute the rumors, he still couldn't stop the fluctuations in people's hearts, and his morale fell to the bottom for a time. Immortal Jinxian sensed that Gonggong City was difficult to defend and had to start preparing countermeasures.
