Chapter 1675

"Time is of the essence. Guard Liu, hurry up and give the order." Chen Ning said.

Liu Chengyuan gritted his teeth and gave the order in a loud voice, "Pass down my order. All the guards on the city walls are to retreat. Not a single one is to stay! Then pass down the order. Open the north gate and let all the citizens leave the city as soon as possible. They must leave Yuezhou City within half an hour. Anyone who stays will be killed without question! Other than my three hundred personal guards, all the guards are to escort the citizens out of the city. There is no room for error! "

As soon as he issued this order, everyone was shocked.

The guards all looked at each other in dismay. They couldn't believe their ears. What did the guard mean by this order? Was he telling them to abandon the city and run away? Didn't he say they were going to defend the city to the death? Were they not going to count?

They all stared at Chen Ning in anger.

The envoy sent by the emperor must have said something to the garrison officer, causing the garrison officer to change his mind.

The guards all felt their blood boil as they loudly shouted, "Sir, we will never be deserters. We would rather die in battle than run away!"

Liu Chengyuan looked at the resolute and impassioned faces, and he felt a burst of excitement in his heart.

He nodded, "You are all good men of my West Chu. To be able to say something like this, it means my teachings have not been in vain. However, I am not telling you to run away. It is sir Chen who has a plan to defend the city. You just need to follow his plan."

"What sir Chen? I think he is just a coward! "

"I don't believe his plan. I'm afraid he is just trying to trick sir!"

"Sir, you must not trust him. Who knows if he is a spy sent by the enemy!"

"He is not sent by the emperor to defend the city. He is clearly telling us to abandon the city and run away!"

"That's right. He is telling us to evacuate the city. If there is no one left in the city, wouldn't that be giving Yuezhou City to the South Yue Kingdom?"

The guards all began to talk at the same time as they continued to shout.

Liu Chengyuan's face darkened. He pulled out the blade on his waist and swung it in the air. He then shouted, "All of you shut up! If anyone dares to criticize Shen Daren again, this General will chop off his head! "

The guards immediately shut their mouths and the entire place became silent.

Military orders were strict. As soldiers, they could not disobey the orders of their superiors.

Liu Chengyuan raised the blade on his waist and shouted, "Captain of the personal guards, listen to my order!"

"This subordinate is here!"

The captain of the personal guards stepped out.

Liu Chengyuan whispered a few instructions into his ear, and the captain of the bodyguards replied loudly, "This subordinate obeys!"

"Hurry and do it, there are no mistakes!"

The captain of the bodyguards received the order and led Liu Chengyuan's three hundred bodyguards away at lightning speed.

"This subordinate is here!"

"This subordinate is here!"

"You have to do this and this and this and this …" Liu Chengyuan whispered a few words into his ear.

When the leader of the Vanguard heard that Liu Chengyuan wanted them to escort the citizens out of Yuezhou, he was filled with unwillingness. After hearing Liu Chengyuan's order, his eyes brightened and he shouted:

Sir Chen 'orders's orders. Yand, and the commander.

He gathered a thousand soldiers under him and quickly left to carry out the military order.

Liu Chengyuan assigned tasks to the three thousand soldiers in the city. He also issued an order for the people in the city to leave the city immediately. No one was allowed to bring their valuables with them.
