Chapter 416: Desperate Survival

"You mean, they came out of the flower bed?" Li Yunyang interrupted Wager's words, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something important.

Without waiting for Wagle to reply, Li Yunyang immediately ordered: "Everyone is on guard in place, wait for me to come back!"

Before the words fell, Li Yunyang rushed towards the flower bed in the backyard, he remembered very clearly, because the general's mansion was full of soldiers, the flower bed had long been trampled to pieces.

Just before Li Yunyang led his troops to the front gate to defend, there was a squad of soldiers standing there, and it was impossible for these black-clothed people to hide in the flower bed early in the morning.

And in addition to the soldiers who died in battle, there was no one less in the General's Mansion, which shows that the man in black definitely lurked in from the outside.

However, Li Yunyang once asked Shierdeken that because the general's mansion was built according to the war fortress, in order to avoid being attacked by the enemy from the inside, there was no underground passage at all, and even the sewers were very narrow, and not even a cat could get in.

"Sure enough!Hahaha, God help me!"

Li Yunyang walked back and forth near the flower bed a few times, and then stomped his foot violently, and the flat stone slab ground immediately recessed, and he flashed to the side, and saw a slope leading straight to the ground!

When the dirt at the underground entrance stopped falling, Li Yunyang pulled out the long sword at his waist, and slowly walked towards the underground passage that appeared with a torch.

A strong smell of moisture and earth permeated the passage, and Li Yunyang grabbed a handful of dirt in the passage and gently plucked it, obviously able to see that it had just been dug out of the ground.

Becoming more and more sure of the thoughts in his heart, Li Yunyang simply picked up his fighting spirit and ran wildly towards the depths of the passage, and ran to the end of the passage after a while.

However, Li Yunyang did not go out immediately, but extinguished the torch, and then listened quietly for a while with his ears sideways.

But the outside of the cave was unusually quiet, except for the occasional sound of wind, not even the sound of insects could be heard. Li Yunyang didn't have time to wait any longer, so he could only silently run his fighting spirit, holding the sword in both hands, slowly walked to the entrance of the cave, and then leaped out violently, quickly hitting two flying swords to the left and right.

Unexpectedly, there was no ambush at the entrance of the cave, and the two flying swords were stuck straight into the ground, still shaking.

And Li Yunyang still did not let his guard down, after retracting the flying sword, he quickly observed the surrounding situation, only to find that this was a dilapidated house in the town, on the edge of the slum.

I don't know if it's because of the fighting, or if there are other hidden circumstances, but the surrounding houses are extremely quiet, and there is not even a single enemy patrolling the avenue outside.

Even, on the ground at the entrance of the cave, you can't even see half a footprint!

Since the fire in the backyard of the General's Mansion, this assassination incident has been full of weirdness, and according to the cautious style of these men in black, there should not be that kind of suicide assassination.

Li Yunyang guessed that the other party really wanted to kill Sherdeken, but the plan was wrong and he did not count himself in the plan.

So when Li Yunyang came into the world like a killing god, flying swords came out frequently, harvesting the lives of the black-clothed dead, in a panic, the black-clothed deadman took drugs that consumed life and stimulated combat effectiveness, but the assassination still failed after all.

It's a pity that Li Yunyang has too little information in his hands, otherwise he would be able to analyze who sent this group of black-clothed dead soldiers.

"No matter, now arranging for the lord and Jira to evacuate safely is the top priority at the moment. Faced with the problem of having no clue, Li Yunyang decisively put it aside first, since there is now a passage to leave the General's Mansion, it is not impossible for the whole army to retreat.

By the time Li Yunyang returned to the General's Mansion from the passage, the enemy army had already reorganized the team and drove the shield soldiers to the front of the formation again, and there was still a team of archers behind, but this time the archers' goal was to aim at the shield soldiers in front.

The shield soldiers who were aiming with bows and arrows on their backs were angry on their faces, but they were helpless. Charging is death, running away is also death, it is better to fight, even if they are killed by the enemy, the general will give their families a large pension.

On the contrary, if he escapes, let alone gold coins, even the lives of his entire family can be saved.

Under these circumstances, these shield soldiers, composed of peasants, unexpectedly burst out with a collective will to die, and just waited for the horn to sound, they launched a charge towards the general's mansion.

And Li Yunyang didn't have time to observe the enemy situation outside, so he shouted directly to the captain's personal guard: "There is an underground passage leading to the slums in the town in the flower bed, you take all the wounded soldiers and retreat with the lord!"

"Underground passages?"

The more than 100 lords and guards who survived originally thought that when they broke through, they would definitely have to die a group of people, but they didn't expect Li Yunyang to find an underground passage, which gave them hope for life.

Li Yunyang didn't explain much to the guards, and ordered again: "Wagger, you go and organize those injured brothers now, and let them follow the lord to withdraw from the General's Mansion from the tunnel, go quickly!"

When Shi Erdeken learned that there was a tunnel, and he went straight to the General's Mansion from the outside, he was angry at first, but he still endured it, turned to Li Yunyang and said: "Viscount Allen, why don't you take the soldiers through the underground passage first, and I will break it off!"

"Lord, time is pressing, stop saying these meaningless words, you leave with the soldiers now! the sooner you leave, the sooner we can leave!"

Li Yunyang knew that Shi Erdeken wanted to fulfill his lord's duties, but since he had already decided to break off, he would stick to it until the last moment!

"Woooooo

The sound of the horn outside the General's Mansion became more and more urgent, and Li Yunyang no longer cared about Shi Erdeken, so he ran directly to the front door, gathered all the soldiers together, hesitated for a while, and then said: "In the garden in the backyard, a secret passage has been found that can go straight to the outside of the General's Mansion, and we have a chance to get out alive." ”

The soldiers, who had been determined to die, burst into cheers when they heard that they could survive.

But Li Yunyang's next words made them silent instantly, only to hear Li Yunyang say helplessly: "The enemy is about to attack, we need a death squad to block the enemy's attack, until everyone else evacuates, I don't know who wants to stay, join the death squad, and cover the evacuation of others with me?"

Before the words fell, Wagel, who was arranging for the evacuation of the wounded soldiers, picked up a shield and long sword from the ground, stood up, and said loudly with a generous expression of death: "Your Excellency Commander, I, Vagel, am not the kind of bastard who needs someone to cover the retreat, I am willing to join the death squad and fight with you until the last moment!"

Although Wagger's words are ugly, how many of these battle-hardened soldiers are willing to let their comrades shed blood and cover their escape?

Besides, they are all a group of men with strong blood, who wants to admit that they are a bad seed?

"Your Excellency, Commander, I am willing to join the death squad!"

"I'm willing to join the death squad!"

"For the glory of Paswa, I am willing to fight until the last moment, until I die!"

……

More and more soldiers stood up, Li Yunyang was very relieved in his heart, but he didn't have time to sigh, and immediately began the selection of the death squad members: "All those whose parents are alive and have no brothers and sisters at home will be evacuated now, and only one person can be left with brothers in the army, and those who are less than eighteen years old will also follow the army first!"

As soon as the three conditions came out, most of the people who signed up for the death squad were immediately screened out, and they wanted to try to stay, but Li Yunyang deliberately made a straight face, so that they really didn't dare to speak, so they had to obey the order.

In the end, there were only about 300 people left, and Li Yunyang equipped them with the best chain mail, shields, and weapons, each holding a longbow, and a bundle of sharp spears by his side.

"Quick, push the ballista up! Two catapults, directly on both sides of the arrow tower!"

On the street outside the general's mansion, the sound of footsteps and horses' hooves became more and more urgent, and it could be heard that the enemy's army was gathering in this direction, and Li Yunyang was still calmly commanding the soldiers, preparing to meet this charge.

Walking up to the arrow tower, the enemy army has learned a lot this time, but it is far away from the general's mansion, standing outside the range of bows and arrows.

Moreover, the number of shield soldiers has doubled, and the strongest soldier is holding a large iron shield more than two meters high, ready for the final charge, it seems that he wants to take the general's mansion in one go.

Looking back at the soldiers who were evacuating, Li Yunyang couldn't help frowning a little, there were too many people, and that tunnel could only accommodate three people to go together, and it would take at least more than ten minutes to wait for everyone to evacuate.

Li Yunyang rubbed his cheeks, dispelled the tiredness that came out of his head, and prepared to fight to the death. At this moment, a sneaky figure quietly crawled out of the shadows in the arrow tower, little by little.

Li Yunyang didn't turn his head back, with a wave of his right hand, a flying sword fell directly in front of the figure, and he almost cut off his head by only an inch.

The sneaky figure was suddenly trembling with fright from the flying sword, and suddenly pounced in front of Li Yunyang, crying and begging: "Viscount Allen, please, can I also evacuate with the large army?"

This person was the strategist who was forced to the arrow tower by Li Yunyang, before Li Yunyang asked him to command the battle, but as soon as this guy got on the arrow tower, he was almost killed by the enemy's random arrows.

The frightened strategists no longer dared to look outside from the arrow tower, so they could only hide in a dark corner. When Li Yunyang came back just now, he called the two hundred leaders who were guarding him down, and the strategists wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

Who knew that a large number of soldiers were standing under the arrow tower, and the strategists waited for a long time, and the soldiers finally dispersed, but the next moment Li Yunyang went directly to the arrow tower......
