Chapter 1170

After Gu Yi returned to his tent, he began to observe the surrounding terrain map. He discovered that his current position was right on the edge of the northern Beihai.

Moreover, looking from the Beihai side, it seemed a fleet was approaching them. It appeared they intended to take advantage of the night to launch a sneak attack.

However, Gu Yi was not afraid.

Because he had long guessed they would come to attack.

The number of people they brought was certainly greater than theirs, but Gu Yi believed that with preparations on his side, they should not be successfully ambushed.

"Hmph, even if you come, so what? We have three hundred thousand elite troops, and you have only five thousand or so. This time, let me wipe you all out!"

Gu Yi thought to himself.

The next morning.

After Gu Yi got up, he saw that many unfamiliar figures had appeared in his military camp.

Gu Yi's brow furrowed; he did not know who these people were.

"Report~!"

Just at this moment, a soldier ran in.

"Speak!"

"Reporting to the General, last night most of Sun Jian and Cao Cao's scouts were killed. Now, fewer than three thousand remain."

After hearing the soldier's words, Gu Yi's brow furrowed even more tightly.

These Sun Jian and Cao Cao were indeed old foxes, having planted so many eyes and ears within their camp.

Gu Yi knew they were in for trouble this time.

However, he did not panic, but quietly waited for them to come and attack him.

"Someone!"

"This subordinate is here!"

"Pass the order down: have them prepare for battle immediately. Even if Sun Jian and Cao Cao come, there is no need to fear. We have three hundred thousand troops here; we can definitely hold them off."

"Yes!"

"Very well, go and pass the order!" Gu Yi waved his hand.

After the soldier received the order, he turned and left.

Not long after, Sun Jian and Cao Cao arrived at the edge of the Beihai coast with twenty thousand troops.

"Hahaha, Gu Yi, today we shall let you know our might," Sun Jian laughed loudly.

"Big Brother, look at these people; they are all Sun Jian and Cao Cao's confidants. It is estimated they were long ago ambushed here, preparing to sneak attack us while we were resting," Zhuge Liang said, pointing at the soldiers in Sun Jian's army.

Gu Yi nodded; such a situation was indeed possible.

"Big Brother, should we..." Zhuge Liang made a killing gesture.

"No need!" Gu Yi waved his hand, "If we make a move, their target will no longer be us, but the other armies."

"This..."

"Very well, don't think about it anymore; just do as I say," Gu Yi said.

"Yes!"

Thus, Sun Jian and Cao Cao ordered their soldiers to prepare for battle.

Seeing them prepare for battle, Gu Yi quietly left the tent, then rode his horse and galloped quickly toward the Beihai direction.

At this moment, Sun Jian and Cao Cao were discussing matters inside a tent.

"Big Brother, do you think they will come?" Cao Cao asked.

A smile appeared on Sun Jian's face, "They will certainly come."

"Oh?"

"The troops we sent have already infiltrated their camp. We shall just wait for them to come out and die," Sun Jian said.

"Hahaha!"

Cao Cao also laughed along.

Soon their army was ready to set off.

And at this moment, on a certain mountain by the Beihai coast, more than thirty small boats were docked at the shore.

On each of the thirty-plus small boats, archers stood packed full.

These were Eastern Wu archers, responsible for covering the safety of those thirty-plus small boats.

At this moment, Gu Yi was on a small boat, gazing into the distance. ===== CHAPTER 1171 =====
