Chapter 108: War Disaster
Because at this time, on the city wall, a large number of Jizhou guards appeared from behind the arrow rudders, looking at the envoys with fierce and determined eyes, as if they were ready to shoot them if they disagreed with them.

The envoy took a rough look and saw that there were about a thousand defenders on the city wall. However, these Jizhou guards with shabby equipment did not make him feel troubled.

But when his eyes swept over the sophisticated iron armor on the Black Armor Guards, Ci Jie's expression finally changed.

Only the most elite teams can be equipped with such sophisticated armor.

I think it should be Wang An’s prince’s guard, so their combat effectiveness is naturally strong.

Although it is not heavy armor, if it is used to defend a city, it will be impossible to capture the city without paying a heavy price.

Thinking of this, the envoy did not waste any more words with Wang An and rode away from the city wall.

Wang An watched him run to the big cart, probably to report the situation to the so-called Western Khan.

This was indeed the case. When the envoy arrived in front of the car and lifted the curtain, a huge mountain of flesh was revealed.

At the top of the meat mountain, an object resembling a human head turned and directed two lines of sight towards the envoy.

"Your Majesty, the Khan, the people of the Southern Dynasty are too arrogant!" The envoy said with a panicked look on his face, "They have already sent messengers to the Daliang court to request reinforcements. I guess it's true. The soldiers' death is not a pity, but if it puts Your Majesty in danger, then even death cannot atone for the sin!"

The huge meat mountain did not make any movement for a long time. After a moment, it suddenly said, "Give the order to attack the city!"

The envoy was shocked when he heard this and tried to dissuade them, "Your Majesty, you must not do this. We are bringing cavalry with us this time. Although they are very powerful in the wild, they are not strong enough to attack a city..."

However, as soon as the envoy uttered these words of dissuasion, a cold long knife was immediately placed on his neck.

The envoy dared not move, but he saw out of the corner of his eye an enchanting woman looking at him with a sneer on her lips.

At this time, the voice of the Khan of Xilu was heard again: "Coward, I don't want cowards around me..."

Upon hearing this, the seductive woman moved her wrist and was about to slit the envoy's throat.

At this critical moment, the envoy hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, please spare my life and listen to my words!"

"We don't have enough siege equipment. If we forcefully attack the city, not only will our army not be able to exert its combat power, but it may even cause losses! Instead of doing that, we might as well plunder Jizhou Prefecture and teach that Daliang prince a lesson. After the autumn harvest in September, we will send out the army and completely annihilate Jizhou!"

The huge meat mountain raised an object that looked like an arm, signaling the enchanting woman to stop her movements, and then said dully: "What you said makes sense, my slave. I will spare your life for now, and you will be responsible for arranging the looting of Jizhou."

After the giant meat mountain finished speaking, its eyes, which were already almost invisible, closed completely.

Both the envoy and the enchanting woman knew that this meant that the huge meat mountain didn't want to talk anymore.

Then the charming woman put away the knife and pushed it aside coldly.

The envoy just wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling at ease that he had saved his life.

He then found generals and began to plan the looting.

At this time, on the top of the city, everyone was nervously watching the every move of the Western Tartars, ready to respond to any attack launched by the other side at any time.

However, what shocked them was that the aggressive Western Tartars actually began to disperse.

They were divided into groups of a hundred and ran wildly towards the wilderness in all directions.

Only about 5,000 people in the central army were left, marching in an orderly manner towards the west, and it seemed as if they were retreating.

Xu Huang was puzzled and asked, "What do these Tartars want to do? They were so arrogant just now, but now they seem to be fleeing." Wang An also frowned in thought, and suddenly his face changed drastically and said, "Not good, seeing that they can't capture Baicheng, they want to split up their troops to plunder the surrounding towns!"

The Jizhou guards at the bedside were in a great commotion when they heard this, because these people were basically from the towns around Baicheng. If they allowed the Western Tartars to plunder everywhere, then their hometowns would almost certainly be destroyed.

"Don't worry, I won't allow this to happen!"

Just when the soldiers were in panic, Wang An's words were like a stabilizing force in the restless crowd.

When everyone heard Wang An speak, they slowly calmed down.

He looked at Wang An with a look as if asking for help.

Chen Huaian hesitated and said, "Looking at the posture of the Western Tartars, it seems that they want to divide their forces to plunder. We are capable of intercepting any single group."

"But the enemy has too many units, a total of 5,000 people. If we scatter and get surrounded by them, we will definitely die!"

Wang An also nodded in agreement, and after thinking for a long time with a serious expression, he said, "For now, if we want to ensure that the people of Jizhou are not lost, there is only one way!"

"any solution?"

Everyone started asking, and Wang An answered word by word: "Fishing!"

Everyone looked inquiringly, but had no idea what Wang An meant by fishing.

Wang An explained: "For some reason, the Western Khan must hate me to death. Do you think if they knew my movements, would they gather their forces to attack me?"

Xu Huang was puzzled and said, "But Wang Yelin is in Baicheng, and these Tartars are not good at attacking cities and will not gather in large numbers to attack. Look, they have already divided their forces, haven't they?"

Wang An nodded and said, "Yes, but what if I lead my army out of the city?"

"what!"

Everyone was shocked, and Xu Huang immediately dissuaded them, saying, "Your Highness, you are the backbone of the people of Jizhou. What should we do if something happens to you?"

Chen Huaian also advised: "Your Highness, you are worth a fortune, you must not risk leaving the city easily."

Wang An shook his head slightly and said, "Do you want me to watch helplessly as the people of Jizhou are trampled by the iron hooves of the Western Tartars?"

"I can't do it, so you don't have to persuade me anymore!"

"Your Highness!"

Everyone was stamping their feet anxiously, but Wang An remained unmoved, as if he had made up his mind.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuer said with guilt: "Your Highness Prince Xin, just hand me over to the Western Tartars. If I have to watch innocent people die for me, and it will implicate you, then Xiao Yuer would rather die to prove her loyalty!"

Wang An chuckled and shook his head, saying, "But when the Western Khan heard that you had already told me..."

At this point, Wang An smiled evilly and said, "After hearing this, I left Baicheng immediately. I can imagine that you are no longer attractive enough to the Western Khan. Even if I hand you over now, it will be useless."

"But in fact, there is nothing between us!" Xiao Yuer said.
