Han Tan and Ying Ying also came to the hall at this time, and now that the house is in chaos, staying by Zhang Han's side is undoubtedly the safest.

Although they didn't know what was going on, they could see from the expressions of Zhang Han and Shi Cheng that the current situation must be very critical.

"General Zhang, what's going on outside, can you tell me?" Ying Ying came to Zhang Han timidly and asked with concern.

"Out of nowhere, many bandits have appeared, and now the palace is almost breached." Zhang Han replied impatiently.

Ying Ying wanted to ask something, but after looking at Zhang Han's face, she closed her mouth obediently.

"The king doesn't have to be anxious, in fact, we are not bound to fail," seeing Zhang Han with a depressed face, Shi Cheng couldn't help but persuade, "General Zhang Ping is still leading the guards to defend, and when the other soldiers scattered in the city come back, they will not necessarily be defeated." ”

Zhang Han shook his head, he saw the fire in the sky and knew the bandits' plans Looking at this situation, the bandits have already made all plans, just with Zhang Ping and the rest of the soldiers, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop this gang of outlaws.

As expected, a moment later, the herald, covered in blood, rushed into the main hall in a hurry, and reported breathlessly: "Second ...... The second courtyard is also lost, the king, bandits...... It's about to hit the front of the palace, General Zhang told you to evacuate to the back door......"

After listening to his report, everyone present was inevitably shocked, they did not expect the enemy's offensive to be so fierce, and it was about to come to him.

"King, make a decision quickly, stay in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, it's still too late to retreat." Shi Cheng was so anxious that he knelt on the ground, pulling the hem of Zhang Han's clothes and begging bitterly.

Han Tan also stepped forward and respectfully persuaded: "What Lord Shi said is reasonable, even if the vitality is greatly damaged this time, it will definitely recover in time, as long as the king's life is safe, this is the greatest luck." General Zhang must not lose a big one because of a momentary mood. ”

The persuasion of the two was not unreasonable, but Zhang Han remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard it.

Ying Ying looked at Zhang Han's expression curiously on the side, she was very puzzled, why did Zhang Han have to hold on? As long as you choose to retreat now, although there will be great losses, you will not be completely defeated.

What a little woman understands by herself, why is this former Great Qin Army God stubborn to the end, has he already come up with any countermeasures? Ying Ying's heart suddenly had a trace of anticipation.

It's a pity that this is just her wishful thinking, Zhang Han not only has no countermeasures at the moment, but listening to the hard persuasion of the two, his thinking is becoming more and more chaotic.

The expression on his face remained the same, but his heart was in a desperate struggle.

Although the gate of the house was besieged by a large number of bandits, the back gate did not move, apparently the bandits only wanted to seize the food, and did not want to fight the defenders to the end, so they left a way for them to retreat.

Standing in the position of Shi Cheng and Han Tan, Zhang Han should indeed give up in time and wait until the bandits retreat before making plans.

But it is difficult for Zhang Han to be as rational as them, and the only thing he is stronger than everyone present is that he knows the development of history. He knew in his heart that he had no time, and on the road of sniping Liu Bang, not a single minute or second could be wasted.

Once all these foundations are broken, it means that a lot of his early time has been wasted, and more time will be needed for future reconstruction, which he cannot afford to wait for.

The reason why he was reluctant to quit was because he was lucky, hoping that Zhang Ping could block the attack of the bandits, but unfortunately, miracles were not so easy to happen.

When he hesitated, the defeated guards finally retreated to the third courtyard, only to see Zhang Pingding at the front, waving Changge to block the pursuit of the bandits, and retreating step by step with the soldiers. The bandits, separated by the high steps, were about to come to the crowd.

Zhang Ping glanced back in his busy schedule, and saw that Zhang Han was still standing in the hall, and couldn't help but cry bitterly. He was ready to die in battle, and he only hoped that his brother would be able to retreat with his whole body, but he didn't expect Zhang Han to still stand in place stunned, isn't this looking for death?

"Big brother, go quickly!" Zhang Ping waved the weapon in his hand violently, repelled a bandit who was waiting for an opportunity to rush up, and shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "My subordinates swear to the death to drag this gang of shameless bandits." ”

"Brothers, protect the king, kill!"

With Zhang Ping's agitation, the only remaining soldiers of the guard were enthusiastic, fighting with the bandits who rushed up desperately, and for a while, the bandits' offensive was resisted to the death, and the defense line composed of soldiers became an insurmountable wall of flesh and blood.

Zhang Han couldn't help but be moved when he saw this scene, this was the first time he felt the warmth contained in the cold battle.

The soldiers are willing to fight with their lives to protect themselves, this is not only their oath to the soldiers, but also their trust in themselves, this relationship has nothing to do with life and death, but it is higher than life and death!

Watching the vivid lives disappear in front of him, Zhang Han's heart felt unprecedented pain, and he finally truly integrated into the role of "Zhang Han" at this moment.

He could imagine how "Zhang Han" would be when he learned that his 200,000 soldiers had been slaughtered—it was a heartache that betrayed the trust of 200,000 people; It is an indescribable pain.

"Big brother, let's go!" Zhang Ping's voice was completely dumb, and the voice he shouted out was as ugly as it sounded.

"King, let's go." Shi Cheng was about to cry, he was not afraid of death, but he didn't want to watch the Lord who had followed him for many years die in such a place.

"General Zhang, let's go." Han Tan's face was full of emotion, he saw the brilliance of Great Qin from these soldiers, just like back then, it had never changed.

Ying Ying's beautiful big eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she looked at Zhang Han with a sad face blankly, empathizing with his pain. The scenes of the old country came to my heart again, and the young princess who had experienced the ruin of the country and the death of her family may be the best way to understand Zhang Han's mood.

The world is unpredictable, creation makes people, Zhang Han originally thought that he could get rid of the shadow of the original "Zhang Han", but found that this responsibility followed him like a shadow.

This is his debt, he is destined to pay it back, the 200,000 robes that died in Xiang Yu's hands, and the guards who died on the spot, he can't live up to them anymore, if he is drunk and dreams like before, then he is not worthy of living in this world.

"Let's go!" Zhang Han finally shouted out the word, the situation no longer allowed him to stay, Zhang Ping could no longer hold it, and the guards' defense line was about to collapse at the first touch.

Shi Cheng and Han Tan showed joy on their faces, as long as Zhang Han was willing to retreat, then he could completely retreat. In addition to the main gate that was breached, the back door and side door of the palace were available for escape, but Zhang Ping was afraid that he would not be able to get out.

Zhang Han gave his brother a deep gaze, and then, without saying a word, turned around and walked towards the back of the hall. Shi Cheng also looked at Zhang Ping and shook his head regretfully, and hurriedly kept up with Zhang Han's pace, Han Tan pulled Ying Ying up and strode towards the back door.

"Uh-" "Ahhh

At this moment, several more soldiers fell in the courtyard, and their voices spread far and wide, each of which hit Zhang Han's heart fiercely. He understood that this time, everyone who stayed behind would never see him again.

Several people didn't stop, and after a while, they came to the back of the hall, and when the fierce battle in the courtyard was about to disappear in front of them, Ying Ying, who had been looking back, suddenly shouted in surprise: "Wait a minute, wait a minute!" ”

The three men walking in front all stopped and looked behind them suspiciously, and at first glance, several of them suddenly became stunned.

I saw that the fierce battle in the courtyard had stopped, Zhang Ping and the remnants of his own soldiers stood on the spot, not knowing what was happening, and the bandits who were constantly attacking actually retreated!
