Chapter 4228: Cunning and Cunning

Sauron is an old fox. No matter what the situation is, even if he is on the advantageous side, he still remains vigilant at all times.

A secret passage was built in the basement of this church. The secret passage can withstand artillery bombardment, and through this secret passage, you can directly leave the church and appear somewhere outside.

And that place must be safe. Once a situation that is unfavorable to him appears, Sauron will escape along this secret passage, leaving his mercenaries to take on the responsibility for Sauron, or even sacrifice everyone.

This is Sauron's calculation. No matter when and in what situation, his priority is his own survival. As for other people, even his most trusted confidants can become his pawns for sacrifice.

Yingluo carefully explored the situation in the basement. In addition to allowing Sauron to escape, this underground secret passage has another function, which is to allow people from the outside to come back for support at any time.

In this way, a circular situation is formed. What if Xu Qiang and Qin Gang's vanguard broke through the outer defense? Even if it cost a great price and entered the church, they found that the victory did not belong to him.

Because those mercenaries who failed to stop Xu Qiang returned to the church from the underground secret passage and protected Sauron again. Sauron was the core of this mercenary group, just like the queen in chess, controlling the entire battlefield.

"See, this underground secret passage is enough to kill you several times. If you attack rashly, your number is not enough for them to kill."

Yingluo sent a message. Xu Qiang must be able to see the picture she shot at this moment. With Xu Qiang's vision, he will definitely be able to find the crisis and make timely adjustments to the plan.

She didn't want Xu Qiang to give up the attack, but to consider the cost clearly before that. Once the battle started, it would not be so easy to stop, and Xu Qiang had so many people that he could fill the place with corpses.

Xu Qiang touched his pocket. The cigarette box was empty. He had quit smoking for a long time, but this time he took half a box from a roadside store that had not closed in time. He didn't know what brand it was.

After taking a puff and finding that the taste was not right, he threw it away. Now even if he wanted to smoke another one, it was gone. He frowned.

At this moment, he took the telescope and went to a high ground to investigate the situation again. Under such tight defense conditions, how to successfully kill Soran was a very difficult problem.

He was the captain of the mercenary group, and all commands had to be obeyed by him. When he issued an order, someone would die. This was the war. No matter whether you were righteous or evil, someone would eventually pay a heavy price in the process.

But before making this decision, he had to think carefully and not miss any link. A wrong order would kill more people, or he himself would die here.

It could be seen that the situation was very bad this time. Xu Qiang did not speak for a long time. At this time, Duan Zhisheng stood behind Xu Qiang and patted Xu Qiang on the shoulder.

"How is it? What are you thinking about?"

Among these people, Duan Zhisheng is meticulous and powerful. He also has leadership ability, but in this place, he is willing to be Xu Qiang's adviser to give advice to Xu Qiang.

Let him be the captain of the mercenaries, knowing that he is not the material for this. Some people are born to do what they do.

"Master, we can't drag it on!"

Xu Qiang said. Now, for both Xu Qiang and Soran, time is the key to determine the outcome.

"If Soran realizes that our intention is only to attack rather than retreat, he will definitely mobilize the people in those seven positions to outflank us."

This is not impossible. Soran is very thoughtful. The battle has reached a fever pitch. How can he not understand the situation when the two are about to duel.

In fact, at this time, Soran has already ordered the personnel defending the seven positions to withdraw. The order was issued half an hour ago.

It only takes 45 minutes to reach the nearest location. If these people are also involved, Xu Qiang's manpower is not enough.

He brought only 2,500 people this time, and the remaining mercenaries were left to Pierre. He and Sauron were going to fight a decisive battle this time, and it was inevitable that Sauron would do something extreme.

So Xu Qiang thought for a long time, and finally left more than a thousand people to guard Pierre's side to protect him and the civilians until the battle was over.

If Xu Qiang won, everything would be fine, but if Xu Qiang lost, the fate of more than a thousand mercenaries could be imagined, and even Pierre's fate would be a dead end.

So now everyone's fate is implicated together, and everything depends on the final result, so they are all praying that Xu Qiang must not lose this battle. If he loses, he will not even have a chance to survive.

"Not only that, in addition to them, there is also this city and the people arranged by Sauron."

Duan Zhisheng reminded Xu Qiang that Sauron has existed in this city for many years, and his power is deeply rooted, how can he be easily killed.

In addition to the people who were killed before, there are at least three or four thousand of Sauron's subordinates in this city. Those who remain in the church are the elites of the mercenary group. They are used for the final decisive battle and as bait to attract Xu Qiang to show up.

"These people are probably gathering here now, so the time for us is only ten minutes!"

Duan Zhisheng looked at his watch. It was now 9:16 in the evening. In ten minutes, Sauron's men would be here.

Even if Xu Qiang doesn't take action or show up at the place where the ambush is set up, there are so many opponents. Under the current situation, with so many people crowded in the narrow alley, there is no chance of winning.

This is the most important thing. The current situation is a dilemma. After some analysis, Xu Qiang found that he had really become a dish on Sauron's plate, and he could eat it whenever he wanted.

"Sauron has already defeated you. If you don't want to lose, you should quickly make up your mind on how to fight this battle."

"I……"

"There is no time for you to hesitate. So many people are waiting for your decision. Life and death are also in your hands. You know how much it weighs better than I do."

Duan Zhisheng is not urging Xu Qiang, but to make Xu Qiang understand the great responsibility. He will do his best to assist Xu Qiang. As for the outcome, no one can predict.
