The remaining fifty soldiers, including three squadron leaders, were all besieged in the manor.

The robbers flocked to the ground like locusts. Soon there were more than 300 robbers surrounding the gate, and then no more robbers rushed over.

The wooden gate of the manor was destroyed in an unexpected way. Finally, it fell to the ground in a large net of swords and flesh and blood. The hope of the light cavalry to escape was already very slim. They fought desperately in the crowd and let out their last roar before their death.

Eugen rushed to the hillside on the south side with more than twenty remaining light cavalrymen, turned around and looked at the soldiers who were abandoned by him below, with no expression on his face.

The remaining squadron leader looked at Eugen's side face, with an indescribable complexity on his face. He didn't know whether to be angry with Eugen to abandon his teammates or admire Eugen's decisiveness.

Obviously, judging from the current situation, Eugen abandoned those people is the most correct choice. If they delayed for a longer time, perhaps even they would be trapped and unable to escape.

However, the squadron leader still had a strong sense of anger. If Eugen abandoned his teammates for his own life, he would have been facing Eugen's sword long ago. But Eugen also brought Miss Caterina, and he himself would have taken risks for Miss Caterina.

Since Katerina has already come down, there is nothing to say to retreat in time.

The squadron leader was hesitant and finally didn't figure out what attitude to treat Eugen, but he finally made up one thing.

That is: Earl Eugen, is a very terrible and terrible person.

Just after looking back, no one knew what Eugen's look meant. He didn't say anything, so he turned around and ordered to leave.

Some robbers have already chased them. If they don’t leave, once they are surrounded, the sacrifices of the fifty soldiers will be meaningless.

After rushing out of the manor, the distance between it and the entrance and exit of the southern valley was already very small.

After riding a horse toward the south for a while, you could vaguely hear the shouts of killing coming from the front. Eugen and his friends also saw teams of light cavalry rushing around a wooden house in the south.

There are outside the manor in the valley, and there are some scattered wooden houses around. These used to be where ordinary farmers live and are now occupied by robbers.

The robbers in the wooden house in the south followed the orders of a small leader, the Black Raider. Katerina and the others were besieged and plundered here by the Black Raider.

While they were operating, Liszt's troops had already started to take action. In comparison, they faced much fewer enemies, and the house layout was very scattered, far less complex than the manor.

Therefore, Liszt easily found the first and second sons of the count who were imprisoned. Both of them had many scars on their bodies, and they were obviously suffering some torture.

By the time Eugen came to meet them, Liszt had already finished his mission and was about to leave.

When Liszt saw only such a few soldiers coming back with Eugen, he did not ask in detail, just thinking that Eugen's mission this time was too dangerous, so the casualties were so high.

The two sons of the Count were in poor condition and seemed to have suffered a tragic beating. They are now in a coma, lying on the back of two squadron leaders.

Now that all three of them were successfully rescued, Eugen and the others stopped staying and ran towards the southern mountain pass as planned.

There were also some robbers following behind, but Eugen and others were all riding war horses, and their mobility was not comparable to those soldiers who ran wildly on two legs.

Therefore, it is easy to get rid of a large number of pursuers. The robbers in the south were attracted to the southwest mountain road, and there were no robbers in front of them, so the escape process went much smoother.

Soon, Eugen and his friends approached the southern pass and saw the road leading out of the valley.

At this moment, Eugen suddenly realized that he had overlooked a crucial key point that might have wiped out their entire army.

His hands trembled slightly, and his face became ugly. He muttered in his heart: "No, but don't be like I thought."

The troops forward quickly along the gentle slope. There was a thin layer of ice and snow on the slope. At noon, the snow and ice melted a little, mixed in the frozen hard soil, forming a piece of ice and mud.

The horse's hooves trampled into the mud and pressed out a crescent-shaped pit. The pit quickly collapsed, and then the mud and water were backfilled. Hundreds of horses rushed by, leaving a mottled and chaotic picture on the ground.

Finally, Eugen and others who were walking in the front entered the mountain path and saw the pass as an escape route.

Dozens of thick poplar trees that were cut down randomly overlapped with each other. The huge crown of the poplar trees was built on the hillside on both sides, and branches were intertwined with each other. The leaves fell on the ground, and the leaves were already yellow and mixed in the soil.

Poplar trees form a skeleton, with huge pieces of sandstone attached to it, and a layer of soil at the bottom.

The biggest problem arises, and this exit has been completely blocked.

Judging from this kind of blockade, it is obviously impossible to be able to do it in a short period of time. This is a big project, and it is very likely that these robbers had already started to seal the mountain road.

Only one threat can be achieved if the lazy and cheating robbers can complete such a huge project, that is, the Black Death!

Seeing this scene, Eugen's face turned pale as paper. Unfortunately, what he was worried about came true.

In his plan, he calculated the right place and harmony of people, but he only forgot the time.

It is now the era when the Black Death is raging, and the main rampant area of ​​the Black Death is in the southern part of the Italian Peninsula. Most of these robbers fell to this end because of the outbreak of the Black Death.

There is no doubt that what they fear most is that the Black Death spread from the south. For this reason, they set their nests so close to the Pohe defense line. Similarly, for this reason, they consumed manpower and material resources to completely block the road to the south.

A large number of robbers behind were still chasing them. The robbers surrounded them from all directions. On the northwest mountain road, two hundred robbers joined the besieged camp. A total of 500 robbers blocked the road behind them like a big net.

It is absolutely impossible to cross that obstacle when riding a horse. Eugen and his team have only two choices: either, they should give up the obstacle of the horse climbing over the tree trunk and overlapping; or they should turn the horse's head and sprint for the breakout with all their might.

And no matter which choice, someone will die.
