Chapter 1143

The great army galloped past, and they quickly left General Hua Xiong's camp. Gu Yi's heart had been tense, and only after they had marched for a distance did he relax slightly. He glanced behind him and discovered that no one was pursuing, feeling a trace of peace of mind.

He stopped his steps and signaled the soldiers beside him to stop and rest. The soldiers of this great army were somewhat exhausted, but in everyone's eyes, determination and resolve were revealed. They knew they had just escaped a life-and-death struggle, and the joy of victory and exhaustion were intertwined in their hearts.

Gu Yi scanned the surroundings, his gaze sweeping over the soldiers in the great army, deeply feeling their trust and loyalty. Under his leadership, these soldiers fought regardless of their own safety for a common goal. They were his comrades-in-arms, his family.

Gu Yi turned to face the front, his thoughts drifting. He knew that although they had temporarily escaped General Hua Xiong's pursuit, the battle was far from over. General Hua Xiong's death would attract more enemies, and Gu Yi had to adjust his strategy in time.

Gu Yi led the great army back to the military camp, and the soldiers organized themselves in an orderly manner, returning to their respective positions. Gu Yi walked into the military camp's great tent, his face carrying a resolute expression, his gaze revealing his thoughts on the future war situation.

In the great tent, Gu Yi met his strategists; they were all talented people with both wisdom and courage, possessing unique insights into strategic decision-making. They sat together, their expressions solemn, waiting for Gu Yi's instructions.

Gu Yi stood quietly in the center of the great tent, and after pondering for a moment, he spoke: "General Hua Xiong's death will attract more enemies, and we must respond quickly. I need everyone's wisdom and suggestions."

The strategists looked at each other and nodded one after another to express their agreement. The first to speak was Zhang Jie, who was Gu Yi's chief strategist, possessing extraordinary wisdom.

"General, General Hua Xiong's death is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the enemy army, but we cannot lower our guard. Now the enemy will inevitably gather more troops, and we should immediately strengthen our defense and stabilize our military camp."

Gu Yi nodded to express his agreement, and he continued to ask for the opinions of the other strategists. Next, the strategists expressed their insights and suggestions one after another.

"General, the intelligence we obtained earlier shows that although General Hua Xiong was the enemy's commander-in-chief, in reality, he was not the decision-maker, but merely an executor possessing martial power. We should continue to dig deep into the enemy's internal intelligence and find the true strategy formulator." Zhuge Liang said.

Gu Yi nodded in agreement; this was a good line of thought. He continued to solicit the opinions of other strategists.

"General, our army's strength is limited. If we clash with the enemy head-on, we might encounter difficulties. I suggest we adopt guerrilla tactics, continuously harassing the enemy and consuming their strength." Pang Tong said.

Gu Yi pondered for a moment and felt this suggestion was feasible. He nodded again to express his agreement, then continued to ask for the opinions of other strategists.

After a discussion, Gu Yi gradually obtained the strategists' suggestions. They decided to strengthen the military camp's defense, while simultaneously delving deep into the enemy's interior to find the true strategy formulator, and adopting guerrilla tactics to consume the enemy's strength.

Gu Yi expressed his gratitude for the strategists' contributions; their wisdom and courage would be the key to defeating the enemy. Gu Yi encouraged the soldiers to continue training, maintain a state of combat readiness, and prepare for the upcoming battle.

Gu Yi gathered the soldiers and then summoned all the strategists to the great tent.

Gu Yi sat above, looked at everyone, and asked in a deep voice: "We currently have two enemies; the second is General Hua Xiong. General Hua Xiong's strength is relatively weak, but the power behind him is very formidable, and we simply do not know their background. Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light; it is not appropriate for us to take the initiative to attack. Only by waiting for an opportunity can we have a chance to defeat the enemy."

"General, do you mean we should respond according to this method?"

Gu Yi nodded: "Not bad. Now, we can only proceed according to the plan first. Although General Hua Xiong's strength is not strong, the army under his command is very fierce. Their equipment is excellent, their numbers are many, and their soldiers all possess powerful combat capabilities. Under such circumstances, we must be careful and cautious."

"Yes!"

"Pass the order, all soldiers, gather outside the camp tents; we are beginning the attack."

Gu Yi's order received the response of the soldiers, and everyone gathered at the entrance of the great tent one after another.

"Everyone, you are all the soldiers I trust the most; I hope you can follow me and win this battle."

"Yes!"

Gu Yi nodded, and subsequently, he looked at the adjutant beside him: "Go and gather all our soldiers; begin the attack."

"Yes, General!"

Gu Yi's order spread rapidly within the great army. After the soldiers finished gathering, they held bows and arrows one after another, rode fast horses, and marched toward the enemy's camp in a mighty force.

In General Hua Xiong's main camp, General Hua Xiong looked at the soldiers under his command and asked: "General Hua Xiong, how many people does our enemy army have?"

"Reporting to the General, our enemy army has over thirty thousand people."

"Over thirty thousand people, can we resist?"

"General, rest assured! We will certainly be able to resist; we are the most excellent soldiers!"

General Hua Xiong heard the answer from his soldiers, and a smile appeared on his face. ===== CHAPTER 1144 =====
