Chapter 1106: Night Raid Army

Thus, Yuan Shao decided to kill Gu Yi first, to make Gu Yi disappear from the world so he would never threaten him again.

"Stop your arrogance!"

"Do you think a rabble like you is worthy of dealing with my lord?"

Zhao Zilong let out a cold snort, gripped his long spear, parried Yuan Shao's blade, and with a forceful flick, repelled the enemy troops.

Gu Yi knew he could not continue to entangle himself here; if the Western Regions Emperor and Yuan Shao's army coordinated from within and without, he feared his army would be attacked from both front and rear.

At that point, his forces would surely collapse like a mountain.

Gu Yi immediately ordered a halt to the attack, had his soldiers retreat to the hillside, and quickly began constructing defensive fortifications.

He knew clearly that the most important thing now was to stabilize his position and prepare to meet the challenges ahead.

The soldiers acted swiftly, busily setting up wooden fences and earthen walls, reinforcing the hillside's defenses.

At the same time, Gu Yi sent men to scout the enemy's movements so he could respond in time.

After setting up camp on the hillside, Gu Yi led several strategists to discuss countermeasures.

They analyzed the enemy's strength and formation and reached a consensus: to win this battle, they must adopt a strategy of taking the initiative.

Gu Yi decided to establish a central command post on the hillside to better direct the battle. He appointed Zhao Zilong as deputy general, responsible for the daily affairs of the command post.

As for himself, he would personally lead the elite troops, ready to strike at any moment.

Gu Yi knew deeply that only by breaking the alliance between Yuan Shao and the Western Regions Emperor could he truly achieve victory.

Thus, he began to formulate an attack plan. He decided to focus on rapid mobility, utilizing the terrain and the enemy's scattered state to launch a surprise attack.

A few days later, Gu Yi's troops set out again, quickly crossed the valley, and arrived at the rear of Yuan Shao's main army.

The Night Raid Army took advantage of the cover of darkness to quietly approach the enemy camp.

Gu Yi ordered the attack, leading his elite troops to raid the enemy's vital points.

The soldiers of the Night Raid Army were like wolves and tigers, quickly shattering the enemy's defensive lines and rapidly seizing the enemy's command center.

Yuan Shao's army fell into chaos and panic.

Gu Yi seized the opportunity to launch a full-scale assault; his troops were like fierce tigers entering a flock of sheep, cruelly routing the enemy.

Seeing the situation was dire, Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered a retreat.

But Gu Yi had long been prepared; his troops pursued the enemy, giving them no chance to catch their breath.

"Yuan Shao, your fate is already sealed," Gu Yi said coldly.

Yuan Shao sat powerlessly on the ground, his face pale.

He knew he had no chance of escape and could only accept the arrangement of fate.

Gu Yi waved the weapon in his hand expressionlessly and walked toward Yuan Shao. There was not a trace of pity in his eyes, only coldness and ruthlessness.

"This is what you brought upon yourself," Gu Yi said coldly.

Yuan Shao's body trembled uncontrollably, his lips parted slightly, but he could not say a word.

Gu Yi moved closer to him step by step; his pupils slowly contracted, and his eyes were filled with terror.

"Gu Yi, don't kill me, please spare me!" Yuan Shao pleaded bitterly.

He knew he could not escape this time.

He had not expected the result of this battle to be so miserable; he had originally thought he could easily slay Gu Yi with the troops in his hands.

But he had underestimated Gu Yi's capabilities; he had not expected Gu Yi's strength to be far greater than the rumors suggested.

All of this was because he had underestimated Gu Yi's strength and also underestimated the man behind Gu Yi.

"Heh." Gu Yi gave a cold laugh and said, "Do you think you still have the qualifications to negotiate terms with me?"

His hand slowly raised and fell toward Yuan Shao's head.

But Yuan Shao had brought two great generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, on his campaign; how could they be compared to those ordinary soldiers?

At the critical moment, Yuan Shao used all his strength to dodge desperately.

"Bang!"

A blade struck Yuan Shao's shoulder, and fresh blood immediately gushed out.

"Ah..." Yuan Shao was in agonizing pain.

"You dare to wound this General?" Yuan Shao cursed.

Gu Yi sneered, "Yuan Shao, your life has reached its end. I advise you to surrender obediently. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

After speaking, he squeezed his horse's belly with his legs and rode away from the hillside.

Seeing Gu Yi ride off, Yuan Shao knew he had no hope of a comeback, and his heart was filled with grief and indignation.

"Great King!"

"Commander!"

They shouted one after another, running toward the hillside.

They were unwilling to abandon their savior.

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth; he wished he could kill Gu Yi immediately, but he knew he was no match for Gu Yi, and he had no way out, so he could only leave it to fate.

His eyes stared in the direction Gu Yi had gone, filled with hateful teeth-gritting.

He knew this grudge was recorded.

Yuan Shao's heart was filled with resentment, and he secretly swore that once he found an opportunity, he would surely grind Gu Yi to dust!

In his heart, he had already regarded Gu Yi as his number one enemy.

"Great King, Great King!"

Hearing his subordinates' calls, Yuan Shao came back to his senses. Seeing those soldiers looking at him with worry, he forced himself to remain calm, waved his hand, and said, "It's nothing, I have no serious injuries."

"Great King, please accept your grief!"

"Yes, Great King!"

Those soldiers said in unison.

Their hearts were very heavy. ===== CHAPTER 1107 =====
