Chapter 1157

The moment he ordered the retreat, Gu Yi felt a heavy responsibility pressing on his shoulders. He bore the expectations and reliance of countless people; they pinned their hopes for victory and safety on him. Now, he could only make this difficult decision in helplessness to protect their lives and future.

His gaze fell upon Zhao Zilong, Ma Chao, and the others, his eyes revealing a complex look.

He truly could not imagine what the fate of the four of them would be. Could he really guarantee their safety? Could he really let them survive?

"Zhao Zilong, Ma Chao, Le Jin, you all retreat to the camp first and stay there. I will go and surround Yuan Shao's camp; you are responsible for covering, I will block Yuan Shao, and you are responsible for protecting my family and friends!"

"Yes!"

The four clasped their fists and accepted the order.

Gu Yi nodded, and then his gaze swept across the battlefield before him, his eyes filled with endless unwillingness and hatred. He took a few deep breaths and then ran toward the distance.

He had to surround Yuan Shao's camp; only by surrounding Yuan Shao's camp could there be a final hope of escape.

He had to surround the entire camp of Yuan Shao's legion.

Yuan Shao's legion was indeed very powerful; under the attack of the main army, Gu Yi's army retreated step by step. Moreover, Yuan Shao's army kept pursuing, seemingly wanting to annihilate Gu Yi and his soldiers completely right there.

Furthermore, the number of Yuan Shao's army was simply too large; their numbers reached tens of thousands, and these tens of thousands were extremely ferocious.

Gu Yi, Zhao Zilong, and Ma Chao appeared incredibly small amidst these tens of thousands of Yuan Shao's troops. Moreover, among these tens of thousands of troops, there were two tiger generals.

Gao Lan and Guan Yu—the strength of these two tiger generals was extremely fierce, and their combat power was very formidable. The threat posed by the two of them combined was very great, making them hard to defend against.

"Gu Yi, surrender!"

Gao Lan roared, his gaze fixed on Gu Yi, his eyes filled with hatred; he had long wanted to take revenge.

Gu Yi's gaze swept across the surrounding generals, the hatred in his eyes growing ever more intense.

"I will not surrender; I will fight Yuan Shao to the death, I will fight Yuan Shao with everything I have!"

Gu Yi's heart was roaring, his heart filled with infinite unwillingness.

At this moment, the emotions of Gu Yi's generals also became extremely agitated. They had been pushed to the limit by Yuan Shao, and now, with so many soldiers, their hearts were filled with fighting spirit.

Yuan Shao's army kept pursuing Gu Yi and the others. And Gu Yi and his men were resisting bravely.

"Gu Yi, you cannot escape, surrender!" A sinister smile hung on Gao Lan's lips.

Gu Yi's eyes flashed with cold light, a look of determination crossing his eyes, his face written with refusal to submit: "Impossible!"

"Since that is the case, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

A bloodthirsty light appeared in Gao Lan's eyes; his legs stomped hard on the earth, his hands gripped the big sword at his waist, his eyes filled with madness and bloodlust.

A look of madness appeared on Gao Lan's face, his eyes wide open.

His arms lifted suddenly, raising the big sword.

A ferocious smile outlined his lips.

Gao Lan roared, his body charging directly toward Gu Yi's position, a cold expression on his face, a smile rising at the corner of his mouth.

Gao Lan's big sword headed straight for Gu Yi's head.

Gu Yi also roared as he charged toward Gao Lan, the long spear in his hand thrusting straight at Gao Lan.

"Clang!"

The big sword struck the long spear; the two collided, emitting a violent clashing sound.

The two weapons collided, emitting a violent clashing sound. ===== CHAPTER 1158 =====
