"Time is running out, Liu Shoubei should give the order quickly." Shen Ning said.
Liu Chengyuan gritted his teeth and ordered loudly: "Give me the order to withdraw all the defenders in the city. No one is allowed to stay! Send the order again to open the North City Gate and let all the people leave the city as soon as possible. They must all leave within half an hour. In Yuezhou City, all those who stay here will be killed! Except for my three hundred soldiers, all the defenders will escort the people away without any mistakes!"
As soon as he issued this order, everyone was shocked.
The defenders looked at each other, almost unable to believe their ears. What did the garrison master mean by this order? Are you asking them to abandon the city and flee? We promised to defend the city to the death, but what if the city is destroyed and people die? Doesn't everything count
They immediately glared at Shen Ning.
It must have been something the special envoy sent by the emperor said to Lord Guard just now, which made Lord Guard change his mind.
The defenders' hearts aroused passion and they shouted loudly: "Master of the defense, we will never be deserters. We would rather die in battle than escape!"
Liu Chengyuan felt excited as he looked at the firm and passionate faces.
He nodded: "You are all good men of Xichu, and to be able to say these words is in vain for the teachings I usually give you. However, I am not asking you to be deserters, but Master Shen has another clever plan to defend the city, you just have to act according to the plan."
"What Master Shen? I think he is a coward!"
"I don't believe in any of his clever tricks. I'm afraid he is deceiving you, sir!"
"My lord, you must not trust him easily. Who knows if he is a spy sent by the enemy!"
"How could he be sent by the emperor to defend the city? He clearly wants us to abandon the city and flee!"
"Yes, he asked us all to evacuate the city. There is no one in the city. Doesn't it mean that he gave Yuezhou City to South Vietnam?"
The defenders were all talking and shouting.
Liu Chengyuan's face darkened, he pulled out his sword, waved it vigorously in the air, and shouted loudly: "Shut up, everyone! If anyone dares to criticize Master Shen again, I will chop off his head!"
The defenders immediately shut their mouths, and the scene was quiet.
Military orders are strict, they are all soldiers, and they must not disobey their superiors' orders.
Liu Chengyuan raised his sword and ordered loudly: "Captain of the private camp, come forward and listen to the order!"
"My subordinate is here!"
The captain of the personal soldiers came out more and more.
Liu Chengyuan whispered a few instructions in his ear, and the captain of the soldiers said loudly: "I obey the orders!"
"Do it quickly, without making any mistakes!"
The captain of the soldiers took the order and led Liu Chengyuan's three hundred soldiers to go quickly.
"Captain of the forward battalion, step forward and obey the order!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"You want to do this and so and so..." Liu Chengyuan also gave a few instructions in his ear.
When the captain of the forward battalion heard that Liu Chengyuan asked them to escort the people to evacuate Yuezhou, he was unwilling to accept it. After listening to Liu Chengyuan's order, his eyes lit up and he said loudly:
"Please rest assured, Lord Guard, my subordinates will act according to plan!"
He ordered his thousand sergeants and quickly left to carry out military orders.
"Captain Tiger Wings, obey orders!"
Liu Chengyuan arranged tasks for all the three thousand defenders in the city, and issued an order for the people in the city to leave the city immediately. All household items were not allowed to be taken with them.
In less than half an hour, the entire Yuezhou City, except for Liu Chengyuan's three hundred defenders, had become an empty city.
