The mountain of corpses under the city is getting higher and higher.
The smile on Saihan's face grew stronger and stronger.
Soon!
We can capture Hancheng immediately.
This is not just Saihan's opinion.
This is also the view of other barbarian soldiers.
They had no way out, so they attacked Hancheng without fear of death.
At this moment, some barbarian soldiers came over and reported, "Lord Commander, a figure from Jingyang has appeared in the direction of Yaocheng!"
"The opponent has a large group of troops, numbering more than 30,000, as well as cavalry and artillery, and they are approaching here!"
These words shocked the generals around Saihan.
Saihan had no expression on his face and asked: "How long will it take for the other party to arrive?"
The barbarian soldier paused for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, the speed of the artillery is relatively slow. It is estimated that it will arrive in three hours!"
Is it finally here?
Saihan looked at the attacking soldiers again, and suddenly ordered: "Let everyone withdraw!"
The general next to him was stunned and said: "Sir, as long as we attack two more waves, we can definitely take the city!"
Saihan said coldly: "The reason why I asked you to withdraw is to launch a general attack!"
"Let all soldiers rest for an hour first."
"An hour later, we will launch a general attack!"
"At that time, I ask you that Hancheng must be captured with one attack. If you can't capture it, everyone will die together!"
What Saihan said cannot be refuted.
When the general heard this, he could only nod his head and said: "Yes!"
As the horn sounded, the barbarian siege team began to slowly retreat.
…
In Hancheng.
The King of Minnan had not rested for several days.
Since I learned that Saihan's food and grass were burned.
He had anticipated the current situation.
How he wished he could go back to that night in Licheng.
He didn't play dead.
He agreed to Zhao Xiaole and send troops together to deal with the barbarians.
Well, today's situation is definitely a different story.
During the time when the barbarians were attacking the city, the King of Southern Fujian only went to the city head once. After seeing the barbarian offensive and the blood on the city head.
He fainted.
Fortunately, the Taifu was smart enough and shouted that the prince had been hit by an arrow.
Otherwise, it would be very frustrating if the soldiers knew that he was simply stunned.
You are so scared, how about we just surrender?
What else to fight?
However, Southern Fujian must not surrender.
He knows the consequences of surrender.
He also sent several waves of envoys to Saihan.
He was beheaded before he could even enter Saihan's camp.
As for the letter sent to Saihan's camp, the King of Southern Fujian was extremely flattering, but Saihan completely ignored it.
He just wrote the word "Must Kill" on it with the messenger's blood, and shot him back with a bow and arrow.
The King of Minnan is not stupid.
He had already roughly guessed it.
This is probably Zhao Xiaole's fault.
I'm afraid that Saihan already thinks that he is a villain and a traitor.
Although, he didn't do anything.
The King of Minnan did not dare to surrender. This was only one of the reasons.
Another reason is that he always feels that Zhao Xiaole is watching him secretly, as long as he surrenders.
Zhao Xiaole will definitely give up and come to the rescue.
The most interesting thing is that he was killed by Saihan.
No matter how scared the King of Minnan was, he could only persist.
What choice does he have?
The eunuch sent to Juyongguan also came back this morning.
He brought back news that Zhao Xiaole had personally promised to send troops to rescue him. Not only that, but there was also a letter from Governor Xunyang.
Told him to hold on no matter what.
Their men, horses and artillery will arrive soon.
At that time, under attack from both front and rear, the barbarians will definitely be defeated!
The King of Minnan was immediately overjoyed.
He had an idea in his mind and quickly told all the defenders the news, but there was no reaction from everyone.
When I asked, I found out that this matter was like a wolf crying and it had been said many times.
It turned out that it was to boost morale.
The defenders were all using this news to deceive the soldiers.
Reinforcements are coming soon.
Reinforcements are on the way.
However, so far, not even a single sign of reinforcements has been seen.
The Minnan King could only sigh helplessly.
Continue to suffer in fear.
The shouts of killing on the city walls could already be heard in his mansion.
He didn't feel better until he closed the door a little further.
Drinking and sex have no meaning to him now.
It's been a long time.
The King of Minnan let out a long sigh, handed over all his beauties, and gave each of them a dagger.
"If barbarian soldiers come in, take care of yourself!"
Then, the Minnan King pulled out his dagger and kept polishing it.
If the city is destroyed, the best way is to kill yourself.
Avoid being humiliated and tortured by barbarians.
Although the King of Minnan is weak, he still has this determination.
When the beauties heard this, they all hugged each other and cried bitterly, saying whatever they wanted.
Minnan couldn't help but burst into tears.
yes.
These beauties all thought they could enjoy all the glory and wealth by following him.
In the end, this is the ending.
Who should be blamed?
Everyone cried for a while, and then the King of Minnan suddenly shouted, "Shut up, everyone!"
"If barbarians come in and you don't want to be toyed with to death, just choose this dignified way to die!"
The room became much quieter in an instant, with only the faint sound of sobbing remaining.
And, there were faint shouts of killing outside.
After a long time, the shouts of killing outside seemed to have stopped.
The King of Minnan didn't know the reason and wanted to find out, but he was afraid of hearing some bad news.
At this time, Eunuch Li, the eunuch, came to report: "Your Majesty, the barbarians have retreated!"
Retired?
The King of Minnan couldn't believe it.
His first reaction was that Zhao Xiaole's reinforcements were coming.
The King of Minnan thought for a while and decided to go out and take a look.
After the door was opened, there was no sound of killing.
The King of Minnan was so happy that he wiped his tears. After some hesitation, he said, "Take me to the top of the city to have a look!"
Eunuch Li also hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Hey, I will take the prince there."
Under the leadership of Eunuch Li, the King of Minnan went all the way to the city wall.
I saw that the barbarian soldiers attacking the city had indeed retreated. The King of Minnan was happy. The soldiers guarding the city all looked tired.
He said excitedly: "Thanks to everyone's hard work, we finally made it to the end, and our reinforcements have arrived!"
However, the interest of the soldiers was not high at all.
No one even paid attention to him.
The Minnan King was stunned again.
What's going on?
Aren't you happy that the barbarians have retreated?
Aren't these people stupid because of exhaustion?
Seeing this, Eunuch Li shouted at the Taifu who was looking gray and gray in the distance and could no longer see his true appearance:
"Master Taifu, the prince has arrived, why don't you come to greet him?"
The Taifu had noticed the prince a long time ago, but he was too preoccupied to come over to see the prince. After being beaten by Eunuch Li, he had no choice but to come over.
The Taifu cupped his hands and said, "I have met the prince."
The King of Minnan caught him and asked: "Master, are reinforcements coming? We don't need to defend the city anymore?"
