The whole Gangneung City is like a big tree, although it has experienced a short period of withering and silence, but when the city gate is opened and the Xiliang army ranks in a row to lay down their blades, this big tree will re-emerge and rejuvenate.

In Xiao Maha's opinion, these Jiangling people don't look like they have just experienced the baptism of war, and they even have a meal pot pulp left to welcome the king.

"Pass the order, all departments must not disturb the people, see that there are many restaurants and green buildings in this city, brothers can go in if they want to, but they must clearly mark the price." Xiao Maha commanded in a deep voice, "But anyone who is found to have burned, killed, looted, or armed rampant will be subject to military law!" ”

"No!" The generals nodded hurriedly, in fact, the people of Jiangling have already shown such enthusiasm, even if they are five big and three rough men, they are embarrassed to start, they don't slap smiling people!

And Xiao Maha looked up and looked forward, just in front of this royal street, more black smoke was billowing and burning, and the shouts were still coming, and the war was still going on.

Chen Yu looked at the lively scene around him with some surprise, as well as the black smoke in front of Miyagi, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "These Jiangling people really don't care about the life and death of Xiliang, you must know that the battle on the Miyagi side is still going on."

Xiao Maha couldn't help laughing: "For the Xiliang army and the people here, when Xiao Yue appeared under the city, in fact, the war that belonged to them was over, and now it is not Xiliang who is fighting against us, but the Northern Zhou, obviously these Xiliang people do not regard Lu Teng and the army under his command as their own people at all."

After a pause, Xiao Maha sighed with emotion: "Even for many people here, it is not a good choice to be a common person in Xiliang. ”

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Xiao Maha meant. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, the troubled times have lasted for three or four hundred years, and the people's loyalty to a great unified dynasty has long been dissipated.

What they need is to protect their families and fight their way out of this troubled world, not for the sake of false slogans and loyalty to a dynasty.

In troubled times, people can't help themselves, and they pay more attention to how to continue to survive.

Obviously, many people don't have much confidence and hope for a small Jiangling City, and as Xiao Yue falls into the hands of Nan Chen, the last bit of trust in their hearts will naturally dissipate, after all, for many people, it is much better to be a Nan Chen person than to be a Xiliang person.

"That Lu Teng's persistence is not short, and it is also thanks to him that he can see the situation in front of him clearly and retreat into the palace city early, otherwise he may not know how he was betrayed by the Xiliang people who put down their swords." Xiao Maha sighed with emotion, and was about to ride his horse forward, when several scout Pegasus rushed over from behind him.

A scout grabbed the reins of the horse and said happily: "General Qiyu, Zhangshan County's 800 miles of urgent express, broke the ambush of Wei Chi Yuan's 5,000 light soldiers, and defended the city for a day and a night, and now Wei Chi Yuan has retreated!" ”

Xiao Maha looked at the battle report in astonishment, and then his face showed a look of joy that could not be concealed. And the generals who followed around subconsciously glanced at each other, and they also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although listening to what the scout said, there were many ups and downs in the middle, but this Zhangshan County was like a moat blocking Wei Chi Yuan after all. And now everyone knows that this will be the last straw that will overwhelm the trapped beasts of the Northern Zhou people in the city!

With no grain and grass inside, and no reinforcements outside, these Northern Zhou people will lose their last hope!

Even Xiao Maha's hands trembled slightly, no matter what, this was the first time that Xiao Maha had commanded and planned a big battle alone, and the arrival of this battle report meant that this big war was about to end with Nan Chen's complete victory.

As for the merits, everyone knows it in their hearts, even if those young people catch Xiao Yue, it is not the first credit, then now their merits in defending Zhangshan County and blocking Wei Chi Yuan and the previous merits are enough.

However, this was obtained by gambling with their lives again and again, so although the generals present were envious, they were not jealous.

Xiao Maha only glanced at the battle report cursoly, the shocking losses on it were enough to make him feel heavy, but the retreat of Wei Chi's army was enough to dispel all this gloom. At least the loss of the armor of the lieutenant Chi Yu means that the death of so many soldiers is not meaningless.

Slowly closing his eyes, Xiao Maha handed the battle report to Chen Yu: "Send someone to the front now, we know that this news is more happy and relaxed, but Lu Teng may be different." ”

Chen Yu solemnly bowed his head.

--

"Boss, let's go, this way!" A general stretched out his hand to land on Lu Teng, staggering through the burning houses. The courtyards of these houses, which once inhabited the civil and military nobles of the Western Liang Dynasty, have been engulfed by the fires lit by the Northern Zhou people themselves.

The servants and maidservants who remained in the mansion were packing up their softness and running in all directions, while the crisp sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distant streets, which was Nan Chen's forward cavalry rushing forward.

Although the city wall of the inner city of Jiangling is also tall, but after all, there is no protection of the moat, and the distance between the north city wall and the outer city wall is very close.

After all, the number of the Northern Zhou army was too small, and it lost a lot as a reserve in the previous defense of the city, so it was impossible to take care of the city walls everywhere, but there were many people in the south, obviously knowing this Achilles heel of the enemy, with the northern city wall being broken through, soon the west and south city walls were also broken, and finally Lu Teng had to give up the east city wall where he was personally seated, and retreated to the city in embarrassment.

It's just that at this time, the Nanchen army has rushed into the palace city of Xiliang from the north side, and Lu Teng with the remaining remnants of more than 100 people is trapped between these mansions between the inner city and the palace city, unable to advance or retreat. Now they can only count on these fires, which have engulfed countless carved beams and paintings, to last longer, which can help them hold back Nan Chen's army for a longer time.

But everyone knew that it was only a futile resistance, and when the fire was extinguished, the Nan Chen army that came up like a tide could still tear them apart. And judging from the shouts of Nan Chen's troops in all directions, reinforcements are far away, and it is even possible that they will not come at all.

"Let's put it down." Lu Teng said in a low voice, although his voice was low, but he still carried the majesty of a veteran of his life.
