Chapter 24 2 Alone in a desperate situation

Hearing the news that Li Tianhao's troops had arrived at the battlefield, Ulysses couldn't help but close his eyes - he lost the gamble. Although Li Tianhao's troops were only cavalry, he had already fallen into a two-sided battle, and the enemy forces in the city had been strengthened, and it was impossible to capture Kadum City. The more than 10,000 people outside the city only had wooden sticks and farm tools as weapons, and it was impossible to withstand the onslaught of Li Tianhao's cavalry. Fortunately, he had already prepared, and he had already covered the vicinity of the camp with antlers and horse guards, and it was not so easy for the cavalry to attack, but he had to lead his troops out of the city as soon as possible to meet them.

When Ulysses led his troops out of the city, he found that the situation was even worse than he had estimated. Li Tianhao did not attack at all after discovering a large number of horse guards, but took advantage of the mobility of the cavalry to hold the road to Palci! In this way, the Yaji army really has no way to enter the heavens and the earth, and can only wait for the follow-up troops of the thief army to come one after another, and then attack from three sides, and its fate is self-evident.

During the night, Ulysses called back Homan, who was still in the city, and ordered the idlers to leave the tent. Ulysses took his son's hand and said, "I have been marching and fighting for decades, and I have finally come to this point. Now we are in a desperate situation, and we are no longer able to fight hard. At present, there is still a way to live, that is, the ships left on the shore by the thief army, it seems that these ships can transport at least 3,000 people, tomorrow I will lead the troops to fight Li Tianhao, and you will take the troops on the ship and go straight to the city of Highcum, although it is dangerous, there is still a glimmer of hope. ”

Homan shook his head again and again: "Father, you are the main general, how can you stay as a palace army?" If you want to stay, of course, I will stay! ”

Ulysses smiled bitterly and said, "Because I am the main general." If I board the ship and leave, the morale of the army will immediately crumble. Then it's all over. In this war, we suffered heavy losses, and so many generals who had been famous for a long time died on the battlefield. Both of your younger brothers have also given their lives for the country. Your eldest brother has not come back from Palci, and now I can't wait for him to come back, and I have only one son like you. How many days do I have to live at this age? The fate of Yaki is in the hands of you young people, so keep this life and go back and think carefully why we lost this time, otherwise we will still lose next time. Remember my words, it's not terrible to lose, it's terrible to lose and not wake up and correct your mistakes. Homan. I won't say anything else, take care of your mother, she is not as healthy as before. ”

Homan wanted to say something more, but when he saw the tears in his father's eyes, he could only hold back the tears and nod his head in agreement.

In the early morning of the next day, Ulysses personally commanded 2,000 soldiers as the vanguard, and more than 10,000 soldiers in the rear, launched an attack on Li Tianhao's cavalry, and at the same time. More than a thousand people in the city of Kadum also launched an attack on the inner city of Tyrs. While the other party was busy coping, Homan rushed to the ship docked on the shore with a few elite warriors and nearly 3,000 soldiers.

The operation to occupy the ship went surprisingly well, and there were no guards on board at all. This made Horman feel a little confused, but he was not in the mood to think about it at the moment. Now that we are on the boat, we must quickly bring these 3,000 people with us and leave this place. Always meticulous, he began to direct the troops to board the ship in an orderly manner.

In the distance, Li Tianhao was leading the cavalry to avoid Ulysses' attack. Trying to use the cavalry's mobility to drag down the opponent, he found a group of Yaki soldiers heading straight for the ship. Li Tianhao's eyes rolled. He already understood the other party's intentions, and at the same time a sneer appeared: Elda is not such a reckless person. He dared to leave the ship here for a reason. At that moment, he led the cavalry team and plunged straight in the direction of the Nanra River.

Ulysses, of course, understood that Li Tianhao wanted to intercept Homan's troops, and immediately waved his army to chase after him. At this moment, I only heard Li Tianhao's cavalry in front shouting in unison: "Yaji soldiers, look! Your brothers have left you to go on board! The ship can't hold all of you, so are you going to stay here and die? ”

The sound was like a muffled thunder that reached Yakijun's ears. Before, the Yaji soldiers only cared about chasing Li Tianhao in front of them, but now that they have turned around, anyone can see that they are really abandoned by their allies! This scene instantly eroded Yajijun's heart, and everyone's inner desire to survive was stimulated. Most of them are unarmed, and the reason why they have followed General Ulysses to this day is that they think that following this experienced veteran general will have the hope of survival, but the hope of survival - the ship is in front of them, and getting on the ship is like gaining life!

The Yaki army was suddenly disorganized, and everyone ran towards the shore with their legs. Li Tianhao led the team to get out of the way at the right time and let the Yaji army pass.

Ulysses had great skills at this time, and he could not restrain the behavior of the soldiers. Only the 2,000 men of his headquarters were still guarding his commander, and Ulysses was anxious as he watched the army that had left him—so that Homan would not be able to control the situation anyway!

The truth was as he expected. While directing the crew to board the ship, Horman sent people to prepare to sail. But his men were all laymen, and they hurriedly pulled up the sails, and some of them went down to prepare for the oars, and the news came from the bilge that many heavy stones had been found in the bilge, so that the carrying capacity of the ship was reduced, and it was better to throw them away if you wanted to take more people with you. Holman felt justified and agreed. As a result, there was unnecessary confusion, and the deck was full of soldiers, and there were people pouring into the cabin, and as a result, stones were thrown into the river, and it was a mess.

Before all the 3,000 men could board the ship, the Yaki soldiers in the back arrived. One by one, they are scrambling to squeeze up, the ship is already chaotic enough, where can more people be squeezed? The people who cleared the stones had to go out, the people on the deck had to go to the cabins, and the people on the shore had to go to the boat, and the people on the ship did not let more people pour on the boat. The situation became more and more chaotic, and it only took a few minutes from a verbal argument to a group fight. Then all the boats turned into a big brawl, and people were constantly being squeezed off the gangplanks or the edge of the boat and falling into the boiling waters of the Nara.

"The boat is leaking!" I don't know who was the first to shout, and everyone fell into a panic. It turned out that Elda had ordered someone to do something above the water line before getting off the ship, but now there were too many Yaki soldiers, so he forced the waterline of the ship down, and the water began to seep into the hull, although it was only a small current, as long as the people were removed and then repaired with wood, but for these Yaki soldiers who did not understand the stakes, there was nothing more frightening than this, and it was impossible to remove people from the ship again. All of a sudden, panic spread like a plague.

"The ship is leaking! The ship is sinking! The soldiers in the cabin shouted and fled, but the soldiers outside had nowhere to dodge, and the deck was already in chaos, and the unknown soldiers below the ship were still squeezing up.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Horman ordered the ship to be lifted at anchor immediately. This made the situation even worse, and the soldiers on the ship tried desperately to remove the gangplank, but there were too many people to pull the gangplank. The soldiers who did not get on the boat found that something was wrong, and in a hurry, they smashed it with the wooden stick in their hands, and in less than ten seconds it turned into a full-scale fight, and the soldiers who wanted to cut the cable were hit by the soldiers on the shore with flying stones and fell into the water, and before the cable was cut, more and more flying claws were thrown up, and the people on the shore desperately pulled the boat to prevent them from leaving. The ship and the soldiers under the ship began a life-and-death struggle.

Yagijun finally pushed himself to a dead end. (To be continued......)
