The mujahids numbered about twenty. They had to stay to the end because one of the brothers was a cripple. He couldn't escape so they chose to fight till the end.
To abandon him would give the saudis too much ammunition. Firstly they'd torture him to find out all the brothers secrets and also adverse publicity saying how the mujahids abandoned him.
So they remained until the end. Yes it was twenty. But the kings men numbered in the thousands not hundreds as stated. And it lasted three days.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Allah (may He be glorified and exalted) give them Jannah.
