C105 total annihilation

Li Yuan clenched his teeth, his eyes bloodshot. Because he had underestimated his enemies, the strategic plan was not reasonable, but now that the soldiers had all fallen, he did not have the ability to bring their corpses back. He wanted a bloody battle, wanted revenge, but he still had to pass the news to the General Shen, he absolutely could not stop here.

The rest of the four warriors also followed him, trying their best to get back, their faces full of grief. Their plan did not succeed, and they already lacked so much combat power. Their losses were undoubtedly huge. If they couldn't spread the news that there was a traitor, then the lives of their group of people would be given to the enemy for nothing.

They could only run for their lives. Other than the whistling wind, they could not hear anything else. They also did not want to hear anything. No one could be sure if the pursuers had caught up or not.

Li Yuan ran as he quickly thought about the current situation. Although he was reckless and impulsive, he was not stupid. When their small team secretly moved out to burn the enemy's grain, the soldiers on the team only found out about the target content, let alone the rest of the troops. All the way to the enemy's grain area, no one left or did anything to spread the news. If it was the soldiers who revealed the news, the enemy would not have had the time to arrange such a play.

Therefore, the problem could only be found in the few people who had participated in the discussion on this matter in the General Shen.

Li Yuan squinted his eyes, a ruthless look flashing past his eyes. Those few people that were in the General Shen's tent were all trusted by the General Shen. If there were spies mixed in the General Shen's trusted aides, he would also understand why such a cautious person like the General Shen would be assassinated.

Li Yuan observed the terrain around him. They were shuttling through a forest, some places had dense trees, but they were not thick enough for humans to hide in. Some places only had two or three small trees scattered around, which made it even harder to hide.

If this continued, then this place would still be quite far from their base. If the enemy had known of their plan, they would have already prepared a horse and horse to chase them down. If five people moved together in this forest, it would be too easy for them to be targeted.

Thinking about this, Li Yuan decisively found a place with thicker trees, and indicated for the other four people to stop.

"Listen up, by now you must all understand that our military's plans will only be exposed if there's a traitor. Since the enemy has come prepared, they will definitely not let this matter rest. The goal of our operation together is too big. We must act separately. Remember this well, we only have one mission left, and that is to go back alive to tell the news to the General Shen. As long as you say that the traitor was someone in General Shen's tent, General Shen would understand. The traitor should know our route from the military camp to the enemy camp very well, so try to avoid the regular route and leave, do you understand? " Li Yuan lowered his voice and quickly passed on the important information to the soldiers.

"Yes, General!"

Li Yuan nodded, looked around to see that there were no unusual movements, and said: "Let's go!"

The five of them split up and ran in different directions.

Li Yuan blinked his eyes. Actually, he still had a bit more to guess before he said anything, if the other party was truly the General Shen's trusted aide, then they would definitely know that he was the leader of the group. Their biggest target would definitely be him. He needed to break away from the group and lure the pursuers away, so that the other four would have a better chance of returning and bringing the news.

Although this path might have already been exposed, it was indeed the easiest and most smooth road to take away from the barracks. He needed to buy time and also need to divert the pursuers, so he had the courage to continue this path.

Sure enough, not long after the five of them split up, Li Yuan heard some movement from behind him.

It was a cavalry unit!

Li Yuan's expression congealed, he did not expect that the enemy had prepared all their cavalry, just so they could annihilate their team of soldiers!

The sound of the horses' hooves getting closer and closer. Li Yuan quickly turned his head to look at them and estimated the distance. In addition to his sword, he also had a life saving arrow in his sleeve, which could be of some use against cavalry.

He silently speculated the distance in his mind. Sixty feet!

He suddenly stopped and turned around. He raised his left hand and pressed it. A cold light shot out from his sleeve and entered the throat of the rider closest to him. Just as he was about to go up and snatch the frightened horse, an arrow flew towards him.

Relying on his instincts to barely dodge the arrow, Li Yuan quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the arrow. Another squadron of cavalry had already surrounded them. The one holding the bow and arrow was the leader of the high-ranking officers.

"Give up, General Li." You should all be wiped out. " The general looked at him contemptuously.

Li Yuan was shocked in his heart, but he did not reply.

The high-ranking officer smirked and continued in a good mood, "You think we can't do anything just because we run separately? "When you were in my camp, you were already smeared with powdered incense. Wherever you go, there's only death waiting for you."

Li Yuan stared at the man, his hand gripping his sword tightly. The worst case scenario would be that the other four people had already died, and he could not afford to die here. He had to bring back the news.

He quickly calculated the escape route in his mind, and his expression did not change at all.

The high-ranking officer did not pay any attention to him and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Kill."

The cavalrymen surrounding Li Yuan immediately rushed forward, and Li Yuan relied on his brute force to tenaciously fight back with his sword. However, they were outnumbered and soon suffered injuries.

No! This won't do! He must return alive! Li Yuan's eyes turned red, he roared and slashed at the man in front of him, ripping a hole in the encirclement, he grabbed hold of the chance to escape, and with his life on the line, he ran towards the other side of the uneven ground.

"Whoosh!" A sharp arrow pierced his left leg, almost causing him to kneel on the ground. He relied on his will to push forward a few steps, and then unknowingly tumbled down the hill.

"General Li!"

Just as he was about to run out of energy, the soldiers who had come to patrol the border spotted him. He hurried over and carried him back to the military camp.

"First..." Bring me to the General Shen, I, I have something important to report. " Li Yuan said with his hoarse voice.

Although the soldier carrying him was worried about his injuries, he was also afraid that he would miss some important information and directly brought him to the General Shen.

"Will... General, "Li Yuan pulled on General Shen's sleeve with much difficulty," No, it's gone. No, I'm fine. The arrow was even poisoned. "The plan was leaked and the entire army was annihilated. Within the army, there was a traitor. It was yesterday, and the people in the account …"

As soon as he finished speaking, before General Shen could react, Li Yuan, who was holding his breath to pass on the military news, closed his eyes forever.
