Pang De sneered at Wei Yan's arrangement, and followed the soldiers who escorted him away without resisting. This made Wei Yan feel a little proud: "Hehe, you think you are very strong, but you can't escape my plan. Be my captive obediently. Since you offended me, I will not be your wish and leave you with a strong reputation. It's still a long time, let's take a look."

After capturing Pang De, the battle was almost over. To be honest, Wei Yan's soldiers did not directly kill many enemies, and it was estimated that at most two or three thousand people were killed. However, there were quite a few people who died of trampling among the enemy. A rough estimate was that there were 10,000 soldiers who died of trampling and trampling. This was the benefit of night attacks. As long as the other party was not alert, it would generally cause major casualties to the other party.

Wei Yan ordered people to clean the battlefield and escort Pang Dehe the spoils he obtained to Linjing City.

Although a large amount of materials were burned due to arson, there were still many materials that did not suffer from fire disasters. Wei Yan obtained a large number of weapons and armor and hundreds of excellent war horses.

Of course, even the war horses that died in battle did not discard them, but ordered the soldiers to transport them back and store them as food. For this reason, Wei Yan got enough horse meat for thousands of people to eat for two or three days.

This battle made all the soldiers proud. After suffering from humiliation, they held in a hurry. No matter what, they had to fight to kill the enemy today and win a big victory in order to wash away yesterday's humiliation. Now it was finally in vain. This battle not only severely damaged Ma Chao's army, but also captured Ma Chao's general Pang De, causing Ma Chao to withdraw his troops in a hurry. It is estimated that he would not dare to invade An Ding for a long time in the future.

However, when they came to the city, they did not expect that the defenders on the city would not open the door.

"Who are you? Why are you here in Linjing City? But no matter what your reasons are, I won't open the door. I'd better leave quickly. I annoyed me and immediately ordered an arrow to make you lose your appetite."

At this time, Wei Yan's personal general Wei Ran walked up and said loudly: "We are generals under General Wei Yan's tent. Last night, we went out of the city to kill the enemy and drove away the thief chief Ma Chao. Please open the city gate and let us enter the city."

"General Wei Yan? Oh, you are talking about the general who shrunk, right? However, his army was shrunk in the city, and no unit left the city to fight last night. How could there be such a big defeat of Ma Chao? Besides, how could the general whose shrunk defeated Ma Chao? Don't lie, I will not be fooled by you..."

The guard was considered to be conscientious. No matter how the other party shouted, he refused to open the door. He was very proud and believed that this time he would definitely be praised by the chief general Yang Qiu.

However, at this moment, a low shout sounded from the side: "Open the door."

"Lord, lord." The guard general was named Huangfu Hong, the clan of the former Taiwei Huangfu Song. He was eighteen years old and was in full swing. When he heard the familiar voice, he immediately reacted. He looked in the sound and found that it was Yang Qiu standing nearby. He immediately said, "Lord, we cannot be sure that the other party is an enemy or a friend, how to open the door?"

"That's General Wei Yan. They led their troops to attack Ma Chao last night. Now they are back with victory. I believe this battle has already hit Ma Chao hard. He will not come back in a short period of time. Open the door quickly."

"Lord, how did you know? This may be the enemy's trick? No one left the city gate last night. Did Wei Yan and the others fly over with their wings? Besides, how could the head-reducing troops brought by the head-reducing general like them have the courage to take the initiative to attack Ma Chao?"

Huangfu Hong didn't know what was authentic, and could not believe that Wei Yan led his troops to attack Ma Chao's camp late at night without leaving the city gate. At the same time, he said: "It's fine for Ma Chao. The Pang De under his command is a man of both wisdom and courage, with extremely rich combat experience. If we lead the army out of the city, how could he not find out?"

Seeing this, Yang Qiu sighed, "I will tell you the details. As early as the beginning, General Wen Chang had already made a plan. He continued to dig a tunnel outside the city day and night during the period when Ma Chao retreated, just to facilitate the counterattack in the future. In the battle yesterday, our army was seriously damaged. General Wen Chang predicted that Ma Chao would not be prepared. Even if he was prepared, he just sent people to watch whether we had left the city. However, they left the tunnel, and Ma Chao was unable to defend. In fact, why did General Wen Chang's team go to rest when we were fighting? It was to accumulate strength and prepare for the battle last night. But all this was a secret. To prevent someone from leaking, I did not tell anyone that General Wen Chang's victory is the result of his proper planning and heroic battle. Now you should believe it?"

"But, since Ma Chao retreated, why should we let Wei Yan come in again? They are small in number, as long as they don't let them enter the city, we will be safe. Once they enter the city, they will threaten us later. Lord, why don't you take the opportunity to keep them out?"

Huangfu Hong was not stupid either. He immediately thought of the key point and offered advice to Yang Qiu.

But Yang Qiu said solemnly: "They are willing to take risks to save us. They attacked the enemy camp at night. Without them, how can we get our safety? We must be grateful to others. How can we be ungrateful? They saved the people of the whole city and saved your lives. Such kindness is so high that we can keep them out of the world, let alone violate the morale of the army and the public, even the heaven will not agree. If they really want Anding County, they will let them take it. He even doesn't want me.

I still want to give them a gift. I resigned from my official position and became a rich man peacefully. What else do you want? Don’t be too slow and open the door quickly. This is not our attitude towards our benefactors. Also, remember, don’t call me lord again in the future. I am a small Anding County, sandwiched among many major forces, and I have no capital to be independent. In the past, I was too ignorant of the world. From now on, I will be wholehearted for the people. As long as the people can enjoy peace, what is the gain or loss of my personal gain or loss?"

"I hope, lord, no, the envoy, was wrong before. The envoy was so envoy, and the envoy admired him very much. The envoy opened the city gate and asked the benefactors to enter the city."

Huangfu Hong bowed his hand and quickly ordered the suspension bridge to open the city gate. However, when he looked down at the city, he was stunned and said with a wry smile: "I really didn't expect General Wei to be so strong."
