~7 min read 1,257 words

"Yes! General!" everyone shouted in unison.

Gu Yi nodded slightly and then let Chen Gong and the others return to the military camp.

As time passed, it soon reached the time when night fell.

"General, we are ready!" At this time, Li Dian ran into the commander's mansion in a hurry and said to Gu Yi.

"Mm, let's set off now." Gu Yi nodded and led everyone, marching toward the Western Regions in a grand manner.

Following behind them were five thousand cavalrymen.

Under the cover of night, Gu Yi and his men quickly marched toward the Western Regions.

Soon, they arrived at the border of the Western Regions, where there were five or six small cities, and the residents in the cities had all been slaughtered.

"General, how should we attack?" At this time, Li Dian asked.

"We will find a hidden place nearby to ambush, and when our reinforcements arrive, we can launch an attack," Gu Yi pointed to the city of the Western Regions and said.

"Good." Li Dian responded and went to make arrangements.

"Brothers, tonight, you must keep your spirits up and wipe out all five thousand enemy troops!" Gu Yi shouted loudly.

"Yes, General!" everyone responded in unison.

"Alright, now everyone disperse and enter the Western Regions city in order." After Gu Yi finished speaking, he led everyone toward the Western Regions city.

When Gu Yi and his men approached the Western Regions city, they had already been discovered by patrolling soldiers.

"Stop!" The patrolling soldiers looked at Gu Yi and his men and shouted loudly.

"General, these people are here to rob food; should we kill them?" At this time, one of them suggested.

"No need, catch them first and send them to the open space outside the city for the General to deal with," the soldier said.

"Alright." The soldier responded, then waved his hand to signal, and the remaining soldiers surrounded Gu Yi and his men.

"Who are you?" Gu Yi scanned those soldiers with cold eyes and asked.

"General, leave these five thousand people to us." At this time, Li Dian walked out and said to Gu Yi.

"Then I will trouble you." Gu Yi said with a smile.

"General, you are too polite." Li Dian cupped his hands.

"I want to go to the city wall to observe the enemy situation, so I will trouble General Li Dian to lead the army to attack the Western Regions city." Gu Yi looked at Li Dian and said.

"Good." Li Dian nodded.

Immediately, Gu Yi led Zhao Feng and the others to the city wall, looking at the enemy troops below the city.

Below the city, more than two thousand people were resting.

Gu Yi looked at these two thousand-plus people and thought to himself, "It seems those Western Regions people are still quite cautious."

Gu Yi was secretly shocked when he saw these soldiers. Because he discovered that these two thousand Western Regions soldiers were powerful, with the lowest being at the Innate realm, and among them were four Earth-level martial artists.

This kind of lineup, even in the Great Song Kingdom, belonged to a very difficult existence.

"Li Dian, you all rest first; don't be anxious, let's observe first before deciding." Gu Yi said to Li Dian.

"Yes, General." Li Dian cupped his hands and said.

Soon, Gu Yi observed for a long time.

He knew that these soldiers were just putting on a show. Their combat effectiveness was not strong; they were just relying on their large numbers.

Gu Yi knew clearly that these Western Regions soldiers did not dare to act rashly; they must be waiting for their reinforcements, and after they arrived, they would launch a surprise attack.

However, Gu Yi was not worried, because he believed that Li Dian's strength was enough to crush these Western Regions soldiers.

Subsequently, Gu Yi let Zhao Feng and Chen Gong stay to guard the commander's mansion.

"Chen Gong, you go mobilize two thousand archers to come to the foot of the city wall and be ready to shoot at any time." Gu Yi instructed Chen Gong.

"Yes, General." Chen Gong responded and left the commander's mansion.

"Zhao Yun, you and Li Dian lead three thousand people to lurk near the Ximen and be ready to launch an attack at any time." Gu Yi looked at the other two great generals and instructed.

"Obey." Zhao Yun and Li Dian both cupped their hands and responded.

"Li Dian, you all go prepare too." Gu Yi waved his hand at Li Dian and Zhao Yun and said.

"Yes, General!" Li Dian and Zhao Yun cupped their hands again.

Soon, Li Dian and Zhao Yun led three thousand people and quietly lurked near the Ximen of the Western Regions city, and here, they were ready to shoot the enemy troops at any time.

Gu Yi looked at these two great generals and nodded with satisfaction.

"Li Dian, later I will let Zhao Yun and his men charge into the fray, and you lead the remaining soldiers to be responsible for covering them. Do you understand?" Gu Yi looked at Li Dian and exhorted.

"Yes, General." Li Dian nodded in response.

"Chen Gong, you go mobilize two thousand elites to ambush near the East Gate." Gu Yi looked at Chen Gong and instructed.

"Yes, General." Chen Gong nodded and also led his own team to ambush near the East Gate.

"Zhao Yun, you and Li Dian lead the others to ambush near the Beimen." Gu Yi looked at Zhao Feng and instructed.

"Yes, General." Zhao Feng responded and led the other soldiers to ambush near the Beimen.

Immediately, Gu Yi instructed the other soldiers to ambush near the South Gate.

After Gu Yi had arranged all the tasks, he led Chen Gong and walked toward the city tower.

Soon, Gu Yi arrived at the city tower and looked at the enemy troops below.

At this time, those Western Regions soldiers were all gathered at the gate of the city tower.

"General, should we attack?" Those soldiers looked at Gu Yi and asked.

"Attack what? Don't tell me you really intend to go attack the city?" Gu Yi sneered.

"Uh..." Those soldiers heard this, and their complexions changed immediately.

Gu Yi looked at the changes in the soldiers' complexions, feeling secretly happy, and immediately said: "You don't need to worry; this time, you only need to be responsible for guarding the city, and we won't let you die."

"Oh, then thank you, General." Those soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Gu Yi did not speak but quietly waited; he wanted to see when the reinforcements of the Western Regions would arrive.

"General, do you think those Western Regions people have already discovered us, which is why they have been slow to act?" Li Dian looked at Gu Yi and asked in confusion.

"I don't know, but we must be careful. I always feel that this time, those Western Regions people are not simple." Gu Yi shook his head and said.

"Alright, everyone continue to rest and wait for the arrival of reinforcements." Immediately, Gu Yi looked at the group of Western Regions soldiers below the city tower and instructed.

Soon, Gu Yi sat on the city tower and waited quietly.

About half an hour later, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance.

"General, it seems there are reinforcements!" Li Dian looked at Gu Yi and reminded.

"I know." Gu Yi replied indifferently. ===== CHAPTER 1092 =====
