Chapter 107 Nanzhao Prefecture City

Hamu Heng was admiring the treasures he had plundered, personally packing them into boxes, ready to take them back to Mengmu when they retreated.

After packing all the treasures, Hamu Heng said to the guards at the door, "Keep a close watch on these things!"

Then, he went to the street, looking at the empty street, feeling a little regretful.

He had originally wanted to expand his gains, but he didn't expect the Wei Kingdom to be so serious, sending an army of 120,000.

Was it necessary?

Hamu Heng patrolled the street, secretly vowing that one day he would return.

With this thought, he went to Situ Quan's residence.

"Sir, are you ready?"

Hamu Heng asked.

Although he despised Situ Quan in his heart, he treated him with respect.

If it weren't for Situ Quan's guidance, he wouldn't have been able to conquer Nanzhao so smoothly.

For a person who could bring him enough benefits, Hamu Heng gave Situ Quan enough respect.

Situ Quan had no other thoughts in his heart. His only wish was revenge.

It would be best if he could invade the capital and personally kill Jiang Chen and Yang Yongqi.

Only in this way could he eliminate the hatred in his heart.

Seeing Hamu Heng come to inquire, Situ Quan nodded, "I'm packed and ready to retreat at any time."

Hamu Heng smiled and said, "Good, then we will temporarily retreat tomorrow. After the Wei army retreats, we will come back."

Situ Quan smiled contentedly.

Hamu Heng was indeed a good thug in his revenge plan. He nodded and said, "That's natural."

After confirming the retreat plan again, Hamu Heng returned to his residence.

After a good night's sleep, he would return to the court tomorrow.

At that time, not only would he have gained a lot this time, but after returning to the court, the ruler would definitely reward him handsomely. Maybe he could become someone second only to the ruler and above everyone else.

With these thoughts, Hamu Heng fell asleep with a smile on his face.

Just as he was dreaming of receiving countless rewards, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside, waking Hamu Heng.

Hamu Heng opened his eyes, his heart filled with anger.

Didn't they know he was sleeping?

He immediately shouted loudly, "Who is making noise? Disturbing my general's beautiful dream, seize them for me!"

No one answered his order. Hamu Heng was puzzled and was about to get up to check when a rush of footsteps came from outside, and then his personal guard ran in.

Hamu Heng's anger grew even stronger. He said with a dark face, "What's all the noise about? What are you shouting?!"

The guard's face was full of panic. As soon as he saw Hamu Heng, he said, "General, something terrible has happened!"

Hamu Heng's face darkened even more.

How could something terrible happen when he was sleeping so well?

"What is it?" Hamu Heng asked in a deep voice.

"The Wei army...the Wei army has invaded!" the guard said with a sob.

"What did you say?!"

Hamu Heng, who was originally full of anger, was instantly doused with cold water from head to toe when he heard this. Not only did his anger disappear, but he also became completely awake.

"The Wei army is already attacking!" the guard said again.

Hamu Heng jumped up and walked out, but after a few steps, he turned back.

"Get me my armor!"

A moment later, Hamu Heng rushed to the city gate with his personal guard. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the city gate had not been breached yet.

Fortunately, at least the city gate hadn't been breached.

But when he climbed the city wall and glanced outside, the little relaxation in his heart instantly disappeared.

He saw countless torches outside the originally dark city, like a burning army!

Hamu Heng's legs weakened in fright. If he hadn't been holding on to the city wall, he probably would have collapsed to the ground.

He quickly called the general in charge of defense, "How many soldiers are there in the Wei army?"

The general also had a bitter look on his face. Although he had resisted one round of attack, the prospect was not optimistic at all.

Hearing Hamu Heng's inquiry, the general quickly said, "I'm afraid there are 100,000 soldiers!"

Hamu Heng was startled and quickly asked, "Are you sure?"

The general nodded repeatedly, looking certain.

But in fact, in such a dark night, he didn't know how many soldiers the Wei army had sent this time at all.

But he had just made a mistake, so he had to exaggerate the strength of the Wei army. Only in this way could he avoid being punished.

Hamu Heng then asked, "How much damage was there in the last battle?"

The general's heart skipped a beat, and then he quickly knelt on the ground and said, "General, after receiving the news, this subordinate wanted to defeat the Wei army, so he led a team of men out, but...only this subordinate returned alone."

Hamu Heng's eyes darkened, and he looked at the general in shock and anger, "What did you say?"

The general didn't dare to speak. He had just fabricated the number of Wei troops for this matter.

It took Hamu Heng a long time to calm his anger, and he asked in a deep voice, "How many soldiers did you take to battle?"

Although he had already laid the groundwork, the general was still uneasy, and said, "Ten...ten thousand!"

Hamu Heng's head spun, and he almost fell to the ground.

When the general said ten, he thought it was a thousand.

But he didn't expect it to be ten thousand!

That was one-fifth of the troops he had brought in this invasion!

And they were all wiped out!

Hamu Heng was furious, and with a clang, he drew his sword, ready to behead the general.

"General, wait!"

At this moment, Situ Quan's voice came.

Hamu Heng looked at Situ Quan and said angrily, "This man went into battle without authorization, causing the death of 10,000 soldiers. He must be killed!"

Situ Quan took two steps forward and said, "General, the most important thing now is to defend the city. Morale is the most important thing. You can't kill people!"

Hamu Heng gasped for breath for a long time before calming down. He sheathed his sword and said coldly, "For the sake of the sir, I will spare your life for now!"

The general escaped death, and couldn't help being overjoyed. He quickly kowtowed to Hamu Heng and Situ Quan, "Thank you, General, thank you, sir."

Situ Quan waved his hand, then looked at Hamu Heng, "General, how is the battle situation?"

Hamu Heng looked at the general and shouted, "You tell me!"

The general quickly said, "The Wei army has already launched an attack, but we successfully defended it."

After hearing this, Hamu Heng looked at Situ Quan, "Sir, what do you think we should do now?"

Situ Quan pondered for a moment, and said, "General, I think although the Wei army is large in number, it is night now. As long as we hold the city, the Wei army will definitely not be able to attack it."

"The Wei army's discipline is lax. Once they lose their morale, that will be the time for the general to counterattack!"

Hamu Heng was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't have much confidence at first, but Situ Quan's words greatly increased his confidence.

"Good! Then we will hold the city!"

Then, Hamu Heng stood on the city wall, waiting in full battle array, ready to meet the next attack of the Wei army.
