Chapter 1137: Significant Strength

He had already seen that before him, Gu Yi's soldiers had been slaughtered until they were scattered in all directions.

Yet Gu Yi's expression remained extremely calm, as if he had not been affected in the slightest.

This caused suspicion to rise even further in Yuan Shao's heart.

He did not understand; the strength of his own personal guard was clearly superior to these personal guards of Gu Yi. Why, then, could Gu Yi still maintain such a composed appearance?

"Gu Yi, it seems you have exhausted your tricks."

"I have indeed exhausted my tricks, but you must not forget that your main camp is right ahead. In less than fifty paces, your main camp will suffer an attack from my personal guard, and all of you, including Yuan Shao, will die!" Gu Yi said with a loud laugh.

Upon hearing these words, Yuan Shao's expression changed drastically in alarm.

How had he not thought of this? Gu Yi had actually been able to consider this point.

If his main camp were to be captured by Gu Yi's personal guard, even if his own personal guard possessed heaven-defying abilities, he feared the final outcome would still be a dead end.

This was no joke.

After all, in this campaign, it was his Imperial Father who had ordered him to lead the great army to deal with Gu Yi.

If he were to die in the campaign, he would have no face to return and report to his Imperial Father.

"Damn it!"

"Hmph, Gu Yi, even if our main camp is captured, do you think we have no way to leave alive?"

"You are wrong. Our personal guard has long been lying in ambush within your main camp. As long as we wait for our reinforcements to arrive, your main camp will inevitably be crushed by our reinforcements. By then, you rebels will all die without a burial ground."

Gu Yi, however, shook his head.

Yuan Shao's eyes narrowed.

"Haha, I know your reinforcements have yet to arrive, but do you think you can stop us?"

Yuan Shao's tone was filled with thick mockery and contempt.

"Hehe, Yuan Shao, these tricks of yours are useless before me." Gu Yi smiled faintly, appearing to not take these tricks of Yuan Shao's to heart at all.

"You!" Fury burned in Yuan Shao's heart; he had never expected that his own scheme would actually be seen through by this brat.

"Gu Yi, I advise you to surrender. We are all smart people; why must we end up both suffering?"

"Surrender? Yuan Shao, I think your brain must be broken. I am the dignified Yuan Shao; how could I possibly surrender to you!" Gu Yi said with a sneer.

"You! Fine, since that is the case, then do not blame us for being ruthless." Yuan Shao said through gritted teeth.

After finishing, Yuan Shao commanded the great army to begin surrounding these personal guards of Gu Yi.

"Not good, let us retreat quickly."

Seeing that the situation was lost, countless thoughts flashed through Gu Yi's mind.

He did not want to continue fighting with Yuan Shao.

However, he knew he could not do so, because his soldiers still needed to rely on his command.

If he abandoned them, they would certainly be routed by Yuan Shao's army.

This was something he absolutely could not allow to happen.

Therefore, no matter what, he had to hold this place.

But he was somewhat hesitant now.

He did not know what to do.

After all, at present, he had absolutely no chance of winning.

Moreover, his personal guard had already been slaughtered by the enemy soldiers until only a fraction remained. His strength was already less than thirty percent of what it was; if things continued like this, he would simply be unable to hold on.

"Gu Yi, do you feel very helpless now?" Yuan Shao's face revealed a mocking expression as he spoke.

"Yuan Shao, shut your mouth!"

Gu Yi's eyes were filled with rage.

Deep within his heart, he was extremely furious.

He had struggled here, fighting for his life, yet in the end, he had still lost to Yuan Shao's army. How could he endure this?

"Haha, it seems you will not shed tears until you see the coffin. Then open your eyes and look; my personal guard is not to be trifled with. Your personal guard will eventually be wiped out by my personal guard!" Yuan Shao said very triumphantly.

Upon hearing these words, Gu Yi's expression became even gloomier.

He had not expected that the strength of his personal guard would have deteriorated to such a degree.

However, Gu Yi still did not retreat, because this concerned the safety of his personal guard.

He had to ensure that his personal guard was not wiped out by Yuan Shao.

"Gu Yi, now I will send you to the Western Heaven."

"No need, I have my own ways to make you die in agony. As for these personal guards of yours, I will absolutely not let them go." Gu Yi said with great dominance.

"Oh? Gu Yi, then let us wait and see." A trace of an evil smile appeared at the corner of Yuan Shao's mouth.

Yuan Shao's heart was filled with incomparable confidence.

Before his personal guard, these personal guards of Gu Yi were like clay chickens and pottery dogs, possessing no ability to resist.

As long as Gu Yi's personal guard could not block his offensive, then this war would be declared over.

"Haha, Yuan Shao, today you are destined to die here."

"Your army cannot possibly block the charge of my personal guard!"

"Your personal guard will surely be completely wiped out today!"

Gu Yi said coldly, his eyes filled with an incomparably resolute gaze.

"Gu Yi, even if you have heaven-defying abilities, you cannot block our attack." Yuan Shao shouted coldly.

"Our personal guard will use bloody slaughtering blades to wash away the blood we shed on the city walls, and clean these enemies out completely!"

Gu Yi's eyes flickered with an incomparably resolute light.

Yuan Shao's brows furrowed tightly, his eyes flickering with a solemn light; he felt that things did not seem as simple as he had imagined.

But he was not afraid.

He knew that his personal guard consisted of elites, and they were all warriors selected from various places, absolutely not comparable to ordinary soldiers.

Such soldiers, even if the opponent had more formidable weapons or more brilliant generals, could absolutely not block their attack.

"Kill!"

Yuan Shao's personal guard drew their long spears in unison and charged toward the city gate.

Gu Yi watched Yuan Shao's soldiers charging toward him continuously, yet he felt no panic, only saying coldly: "My personal guard will not let you pass!"

As soon as his voice fell, Yuan Shao's personal guard army collided with Gu Yi's personal guard.

Following several loud bangs, Yuan Shao's personal guard collided with Gu Yi's personal guard. ===== CHAPTER 1138 =====
