No, they will die. That's why I prefer to cloud trapeze in to neighboring provinces so there's an escape route if one of the attackers routs. Especially important if the opponent is a skelly spammer and can tie up the attacker until autorout occurs.

Also worth keeping in mind positioning when doing this as the attackers may have to fight a battle in the regular movement phase as well and you may not want your attacker's scripting interfering which each other.
