When Jiang Ziya fled for his life, Guo Longzhen had already made some moves, constantly commanding the generals and colonels around him, barely maintaining a formation to cover the retreat of Huang Feihu and others, and protecting a team of soldiers and horses. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The four generals of the demon family quickly recovered the treasure and began to lead their soldiers to charge, at this time the Xiqi army had collapsed, and they could not resist the wolf-like enemy at all, and soon lost their armor and were in a mess. In the open space outside Xiqi City, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the Xiqi army went up to Jiang Ziya and down to the sergeants of the army, except for Guo Longzhen, who had expected that he would not be affected, all of them were killed by the four generals of the demon family.

"Hahahaha, Xiqi traitors, also want to resist my army Tianwei? This battle will teach you a lesson first, wait until tomorrow the siege equipment is complete, and then set foot on Xiqi City!" Mo Liqing laughed, seeing that Guo Longzhen commanded a group of soldiers and horses to firmly protect the city gate, knowing that the plan to seize the city had failed, he commanded the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and escort a large number of captured Xiqi soldiers to build a camp outside the city.

Seeing that Mo Liqing had withdrawn his troops, Guo Longzhen also retreated to the city with the gathered soldiers and horses, and closed the city gate tightly.

"This battle in Xiqi City has already injured the vitality, at least half of the hundreds of thousands of troops have been broken, and the remaining half is also injured, I remember that Jiang Ziya has lost a lot of battles in the Great Tribulation of the Gods, but most of these defeats are defeated but not chaotic, only in front of the four generals of the Demon Family, Kong Xuan, and a few people have suffered a big loss!"

Guo Long secretly thought to himself in his heart, the main reason for this battle is that Jiang Ziya didn't expect the treasures of the four generals of the demon family to be so powerful, except for the flower fox mink, the other three treasures are all sharp weapons of the Qing army, which belong to strategic treasures, the only drawback of these treasures is that the power is too scattered, it is okay to deal with opponents with low strength, and it is not enough to deal with more powerful masters.

Although the three Nezha brothers and Huang Feihu and others couldn't stop the treasures of the four generals of the demon family, it was difficult for the other party to intercept them if they fled for their lives.

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Ziya was shocked, and after a while, the three brothers Huang Feihu, Nangong Shi and Nezha walked in with their heads bowed, their armor was scattered, their hair was messy, and they looked embarrassed.

After a while, Guo Longzhen returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Bukit, and the two of them were prepared in advance, and the other was left in the rear army, not attacked by wind and fire.

"Prime Minister, our army suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and more than 20 generals in the army were killed, including the six brothers of King Wu!" Wu Ji's current position is similar to Jiang Ziya's assistant, all the chores and tiring work are his, after returning to the city, he first went to count the casualties of the army, and then followed Guo Longzhen back to restore his life.

Jiang Ziya's face was melancholy, "King Wu just rewarded the three armies, counting on us to continue to make meritorious contributions, but I didn't expect that as soon as he left, we suffered a big defeat! Six His Highnesses were killed in a row, what kind of face do I have to see King Wu in the future?"

King Wen Ji Chang has a hundred sons, the relatives are different, and the death of six in the battle has little impact, and King Wu Ji Fa will not be guilty because of this, mainly because he lost face, so that Jiang Ziya's face could not be hung up.

After Bukit reported all the casualties of the army, Jiang Ziya's face became even more ugly, Xiqi's 200,000 army, 100,000 were killed and captured in this battle, and many of the remaining 100,000 were injured, and the only army that maintained integrity and combat effectiveness was the more than 10,000 soldiers temporarily commanded by Guo Longzhen outside the city.

"This time, thanks to the effective command of the master and nephew, there are more than 10,000 men and horses, plus lightly injured soldiers, they should be able to protect the city wall without losing it!" Jiang Ziya heard the only good news and forcibly cheered up. I am very grateful to Guo Longzhen in my heart. If it weren't for the 10,000 soldiers that Guo Longzhen saved, the Xiqi army might not even be able to climb the city wall to defend the city this time. With these 10,000 soldiers and horses temporarily defending the city, it alleviates the urgent need, and can be temporarily supported, giving the rest of the soldiers time to recover from their injuries.

Jiang Ziya swept the generals below with his eyes, and saw that everyone had also recovered a little spirit, groaned, stood up and said: "Senior nephew Guo killed Zhang Guifang and the four saints of Kowloon Island last time, and then offered a plan to relieve the danger of heat stroke in the army, and made great achievements in this battle, my Xiqi army will be rewarded for meritorious service, I intend to let Senior Nephew Guo serve as the deputy commander of the army and assist me in commanding the three armies, I don't know what your opinions are?"

Guo Longzhen's expression was shocked, Jiang Ziya's actions were equivalent to pushing him to the forefront, he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before the words came out, he suddenly realized that he was not what he used to be, and he was already the most orthodox disciple of the three generations of teaching, with the ability of Yuan Shi Tianzun, I am afraid that he has already fallen into his sight.

"Tianzun has no action, it means that this acquiesces in my identity, as long as I don't do anything to betray the teachings, other things can be ignored, and my status in Xiqi has become higher, the greater the effect on the battle of the gods of Xingzhou and Shang, the higher the status in the heart of Yuan Shi Tianzun!

This time is different from the past, when Guo Longzhen first came to the world of gods, his strength was low, and he was still a black family who came smuggling, and the aura on his body was different from that of the world of gods, so he needed to hide his identity in a low-key manner, so as not to be detected and killed by the strong.

And now that he has the identity of expounding teaching, as long as Guo Longzhen pays attention not to be targeted by the masters of intercepting teaching, he can use exposition and Xiqi as the backing to provide convenience for himself.

Realizing this, Guo Longzhen shut his mouth and let things develop.

"I have no opinion, Senior Brother Guo is indeed the best candidate to serve as the deputy commander of the army, and I am willing to obey Senior Brother Guo's orders!" Nezha immediately jumped out with a look of approval. Among the Xiqi army, he and Guo Long really had the best relationship, and he was happy to see Jiang Ziya's order come true.

In the world of gods, it has always been the capable and the mediocre, and the capable people have no opinion on one step to the sky, when Jiang Ziya was promoted to prime minister by King Wen Jichang, including Yuan Hong, who later became the marshal of Yin Shang when he came out of the mountain, he was not subject to much resistance.

Huang Feihu and Nangong Shi have seen Guo Longzhen's ability these days, and they have no opinion on it, Jin Zha and Mu Zha don't have much say in the Xiqi army, and no one listens to them if they want to oppose it.

"Thank you Prime Minister for your appreciation, as well as your support, I hope to work together with everyone in the future to fight against the strong enemy!" Guo Longzhen smiled faintly, without prevarication, and directly accepted Jiang Ziya's appointment.

After handling the internal affairs, Jiang Ziya immediately ordered Guo Longzhen to lead the generals to command the soldiers to prepare to defend the city.

"Two junior brothers, I wonder if you can use the spell of turning the ground into steel?" After boarding the city wall, Guo Longzhen checked the thickness of the city wall, and was a little worried that the city wall would not be able to withstand the bombardment of the magic weapons of the four generals of the demon family, so he specially invited Jin Zha and Mu Zha to come over and ask.

"Pointing to the earth into steel is one of the thirty-six heavenly powers of my Jade Void Palace, it is broad and profound, and it takes a long time to cultivate to achieve something, how can the two of us practice it?"

Jin Zha said coldly, behind Guo Longzhen, Huang Feihu and Nangong Shizhong were pale, Jin Zha's attitude was too bad, and he actually spoke in this tone to the senior brother who was the deputy marshal, it didn't matter what attitude he had outside, but in the army, there must be a difference between respect and inferiority, which is related to whether the army can command smoothly, which is extremely important.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Mu Zha hurriedly played a round and said: "Senior Brother Guo, forgive me, our brother has not been practicing for a long time, and the divine power of turning the ground into steel is slightly the same as the fur, which can only make the ground twice as strong, and it cannot be defended against the five elements divine powers such as Earth Escape!"

Guo Longzhen nodded, not caring about the attitude of the two, as long as the two of them obeyed the order.

"Okay, in that case, the two of you will take advantage of the fact that the army outside has not yet attacked the city, and seize the time to strengthen the city wall with spells, just in case ......"

Jin Zha and Mu Zha looked at the thick city wall that could not be seen at a glance, and suddenly their hearts were empty, and they looked at each other, their faces were extremely ugly. With such a long city wall, if they want to use spells to strengthen all of them, they can't do it without ten days and half a month's effort. Could it be that Guo Long really intended to suppress them and was ready to drive them to do hard labor as masons?

Guo Longzhen didn't mean to calculate the two of them, and when he saw the expressions of the two, he added another sentence, asking them to first strengthen the city wall facing the army outside the city, and the other three city walls were postponed for the time being. (To be continued.) )
