"Tell the brothers to get ready. We should fight them anytime, anywhere!" Li Cunxiao could no longer contain his excitement.
Han Xin was holding a telescope.
He looked into the distance, knowing that the other side couldn't possibly come so easily; they didn't even know. How long would it take? Even if the Persian prince led an army of 200,000, traveling day and night, it would still take at least a day to reach the city.
"What's the rush? Let the brothers enjoy themselves. They're here to die. We'll wait here patiently for them. They've been traveling for a long time, and even when they reach the city of Liusha, they'll need a good rest."
"Those bastards, they'll probably need to build some construction machinery to get to Liusha City on camels."
"After those bastards finish building all the engineering equipment, who knows how long it will take? They're so slow."
Many people had already begun to complain; at this moment, it was simply unbearable for them. Everyone felt that the Persian prince's 200,000-strong army was dragging its feet.
“I request permission to go to war. As soon as the Persian prince’s troops reach the city, we will launch an attack. We will not give them any time to build engineering machinery.”
Upon hearing this, Han Xin nodded repeatedly, as he also wanted to end the battle as soon as possible.
More and more vultures were flying in the air. This was something they had never imagined before; they never expected that the enemy's vultures would outnumber the camels.
“We will not give these beasts any chance. If they come, we will kill them.”
To Han Xin's surprise, when they reached the city wall, all the women from inside the city came over as well.
"Ladies, the sisters from the city have come to bring you delicious food."
Soon, melodious music filled the air, and everyone present sang and danced.
...
At this moment, the Persian prince was also holding a monocular telescope, which he had bought from a merchant after descending the overpass.
“That beast is still in the city. We have to find a way to take this place no matter what.”
"Pass down my orders: begin preparations for the project tonight."
"The land of our Persian Empire must never fall into the hands of these people. We must make them understand that."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
“Your Highness, the walls of Flowing Sand City are too high. We certainly can’t supply them in a short time. We need to think of a way, otherwise, not only will our efforts be in vain, but we will also suffer heavy losses.”
The Persian prince smiled slightly upon hearing this.
"Do you see that mountain behind Flowing Sand City? There's a small path inside that mountain that leads into the city. Nobody else knows about it, and I doubt even they do."
"Only I know which road I will lead you in through. We will do so without anyone knowing. Once we get into the city, all those people inside will surely die."
Upon hearing this, everyone was extremely excited. At this moment, for them, this was something they had never anticipated. As long as they attacked through that mountain path, they wouldn't need to build any engineering equipment at all; they could easily break in.
"This is absolutely great news for us; we never imagined we would encounter something like this."
"Following our Prince, we have always been invincible. His Highness's abilities are extraordinary, and we have witnessed them firsthand today."
"If the soldiers follow His Highness the Prince, we will be able to achieve great things, and then we can do whatever we want."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly, filled with immense excitement. They felt that so much awaited them.
"Listen up, everyone! This pit is full of gold and beautiful women. Once we get to the city, all the beautiful women will be ours. We can do whatever we want with them."
Upon hearing this, everyone was incredibly excited. This was exactly what they had hoped to see and hear.
"Pass down the order: the first person to storm the city, and any woman in the city who sees it, can take as much gold and jewels as he can."
Everyone present nodded repeatedly. This was something they had never anticipated or imagined before.
As long as they could be the first to break into the city, they could take whatever they wanted from inside. These people were extremely excited.
"Your Highness, just wait for our good news. We will definitely be able to take over this Quicksand City quickly."
"This is definitely a good place for us. If we don't take it, are we going to let all of this fall into the hands of the other side?"
Around noon, these Persian people rested about 30 miles outside the city.
Han Xin watched their every move and action, and he looked into the distance with his binoculars.
However, to Han Xin's utter surprise, once these people rested, they didn't leave at all.
Huo Qubing and his companions were filled with doubt upon seeing this. At this moment, they were already unable to contain their excitement.
"Commander Han, there's no need for us to keep waiting for these beasts. What are we waiting for them for? We should act decisively when the time comes. We need to make these beasts understand that their idea of going against us is simply wishful thinking. They're daydreaming. We have to kill them."
Han Xin looked around with his binoculars and soon spotted the mountain behind the city. They had noticed the mountain ever since they entered the city.
"We need to wait and see. Their inaction suggests they're plotting something. See that mountain behind the city? We need to prevent them from getting around there. Once they do, things will be much easier for us."
Everyone looked up at the mountain. To them, the fact that the other side hadn't taken any action meant they were planning to sneak over from the mountain.
"They can fool others with their little tricks, but they can't fool me."
