Chang'an's Waxing Moon Chapter 1104: Long live the Duke. The enemy troops retreated like a tide.

"No need to pursue!"

Yang Xuan put away the knife and felt a little sore in his arm.

The enemy troops were all cavalry. Although they retreated, their formations were still there and there were no losses. If the Northern Xinjiang Army pursued them, Governor Helian could make a detour and attack the remaining infantry.

No one responded behind me.

Damn it!

Are they all dead?

Yang Xuan turned around and saw a group of people staring at him in shock.

"One man drove back tens of thousands of enemy troops!" Jiang He'er's eyes were full of stars, "The Duke is indeed the most heroic man in the world!"

Helian Yantao's cheeks were flushed and she felt her cheeks were heating up. She couldn't help but praise: "My lord, you are so heroic!"

The soldiers looked at Yang Xuan differently.

It used to be reverence, but now it has more of a look of admiration.

Who can defeat tens of thousands of enemy troops by riding alone?

Duke of Qin!

The army immediately marched towards Yanzhou.

Shang Guoneng led his army to pursue him, but Wang Laoer blocked his retreat, followed by Pei Jian.

Therefore, at the top of Puxiang City, Ran Jin was still looking forward to the good news.

"If this battle is a big victory, we will then send troops to Neizhou and other places to defeat them one by one and regain their homeland. Then, it will be time to push towards the northern border."

"No, let's destroy that rebellious Lin Jun first!"

"That's right. Otherwise, if Lin Jun is on the side, he can threaten our army's flanks and food routes."

"I don't know if we can attack."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Several generals were analyzing the battle, but in the end, they all fell silent.

Shang Guoneng looked down upon Governor Helian, who rose to power by touting the emperor. No matter how generous Governor Helian was, it was impossible for him to join the army and perform meritorious service. Just stay behind in Yanzhou and that would end the matter.

What a pity!

Ran Jin was also quite sorry.

A civil servant came to ask for instructions, "Can we let go of the city's control?"

Everyone looked at Ran Jin, who thought for a moment, "Let go!"

From the moment the Northern Xinjiang army arrived at the city, the city entered a state of control. People were not allowed to go out, and food was provided according to the number of people.

As the ban is lifted, people are leaving their homes one after another.

The same goes for that family.

The man walked out of the house and stretched, "So comfortable!"

The wife bowed to the gods, went out to look at the streets, and said with some disappointment: "Is Duke Qin really gone?"

"You stupid woman! If someone reports you, our whole family will be ruined!" The man said angrily: "If you have such thoughts again, I will divorce my wife!"

The wife was silent, but still looked at the south longingly.

"Yang Gou is probably defeated in this battle, so who is to say?" The man thought for a while, "It is said that Yang Gou cannot be defeated. Once defeated, everyone in the world will want to eat his flesh and drink his blood."

"What sound?"

The wife looks south.

The man heard it too.

People walking out of their homes slowly looked towards the south.

"It's the sound of horse hooves!"

South, when that big flag reappears.

The city is silent.

After a long time, Ran Jin finally realized, "The enemy is attacking!"

Clang clang clang!

The alarm bells are ringing.

After Ran Jin called out the enemy attack, he subconsciously waited for Shang Guoneng's instructions. Suddenly thinking that Shang Guoneng would go out of the city to pursue Yang Xuan's army, he couldn't help but said in despair: "Let the people go home, tell them that Yang Gou is going to massacre the city, let them

Everyone, take up arms!"

Clang clang clang!

The bells kept ringing.

A group of cavalry came on horseback and shouted: "Yang Dog is going to massacre the city. Everyone pick up their weapons and prepare to defend the city!"

The man's expression changed drastically, "Didn't Yang Gou leave?"

"Here he comes again."

The man looked at his wife.

"The Duke of Qin will not massacre the city!" His wife turned around and went home, knelt in front of the statue, and said happily: "The gods are indeed effective. If you believe me, I will offer you a big pig head as a reward!"

The man entered the house and closed the door.

He and his wife knelt side by side in front of the statue and said, "Maybe we can ask the gods what our fate will be."

The wife closed her eyes and said in a determined tone: "The gods say that the prince will win! Our whole family will go to Northern Xinjiang!"

"Death camp!"

"Here!" Suo Yun limped forward, knelt down and raised his head, "The Duke's orders!"

"The enemy's morale is completely depleted and the city may be broken within a quarter of an hour!"

Suo Yun knew that this was the Duke giving him and his subordinates the opportunity to perform meritorious service, so he blushed and said, "If you can't, I will fight to the death on the city wall!"

"Surrender!"

The first order is to attack the city, and the second order is to surrender.

At the top of the city, someone said: "At the beginning, we had a detailed explanation. If the city is destroyed, the granary should be burned first."

To burn or not?

Everyone on the left and right was looking at Ran Jin.

Suoyun slowly moved forward with the death camp.

"The duke ordered whoever dares to burn down the granary, and after the city is broken, all the defenders will be slaughtered and the capital will be built!"

Although the grain road has been preserved, as much grain as possible is always transported all the way from northern Xinjiang, which costs a lot of money.

"Burn or not?"

At the top of the city, everyone looked at Ran Jin.

Ran Jin knew that these people were not asking whether the granary should be burned, but whether it should be lowered.

The appearance of Yang Xuan means that Shang Guoneng is finished. Of course, maybe he just retreated in defeat.

But what about the general?

Think about it with your brain, if Yang Xuan's food road was cut off, the general's army would appear at this moment.

If the food route is cut off, the morale of the army will inevitably plummet.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!

Even a small pawn knows this truth, but there is no reason why Governor Helian doesn't know it.

So!

Where are people?

Where is the army?

Despair is spreading.

Under the city, the old thief was holding a pamphlet and scratching his head.

He lowered his head and corrected a few lines of words, while recording and mumbling.

"It turns out that the shouting in front of the Guogong formation was not to show off, but to damage the enemy's morale. Once Governor Helian's army retreated, the defenders of Puxiang City could not see any reinforcements, and naturally their morale was completely gone. It would be easy to destroy the city!"

When Jiang Heer heard this, he suddenly realized.

"So that's what it's for?"
To be continued...
