Chapter 1172

"Report!"

In Sun Jian's army, a scout ran quickly into Sun Jian's command tent.

"How is it?" Sun Jian asked hurriedly.

"My lord, just now a scout reported that Gu Yi's army is rushing this way; it seems they are coming to find you," the scout replied.

"What!? How does he know our location?" Sun Jian's face became ugly.

At this time, Gu Yi's army was already only five miles away from them.

"Someone, hurry and go intercept Gu Yi's army!"

"As you command!"

The scout immediately turned and ran out of the command tent.

Gu Yi's army was already close to Sun Jian's army.

Just at this moment, Sun Jian suddenly gave the order to attack.

Sun Jian's army immediately turned their guns and charged toward Gu Yi's army.

"Everyone, don't be afraid; hold them off for me!"

Seeing this, Gu Yi immediately gave the order.

Subsequently, firelight rose around them.

The firelight soared into the sky, dyeing the entire sky red.

Gu Yi's army was also retreating rapidly.

"Fire arrows for me!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Following Gu Yi's order, dozens of sharp arrows shot down from the sky, landing directly among the soldiers of Sun Jian's army.

In an instant, Sun Jian's soldiers were pierced through and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Sun Jian couldn't help but furrow his brow.

He did not expect Gu Yi's army to be so fierce, actually wiping out his soldiers.

It seems this battle is not so simple!

Seeing Sun Jian's soldiers killed, Gu Yi said to the deputy general beside him: "Pass the order down: tell the brothers not to show their heads easily, lest they be detected by the enemy army."

"Yes!"

Subsequently, Gu Yi led the army and retreated rapidly.

After Sun Jian's army and Gu Yi's army fought for a full hour, it finally gradually ceased.

At this time, more than half of Gu Yi's soldiers had been killed or wounded.

Looking at the scene before him, Gu Yi sighed endlessly. Although his army was elite, compared to Sun Jian's army, the gap was still too large.

If they continued to fight like this, he feared his entire army would be lost here.

Thinking of this, Gu Yi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, a heavy worry flashing in his eyes.

"Pass the order down: rest for half an hour, and attack again after half an hour!" Gu Yi ordered.

"Yes!"

Half an hour passed quickly.

Subsequently, Sun Jian's army charged rapidly toward Gu Yi's army.

Seeing Sun Jian's army charge over, Gu Yi immediately ordered: "Full counterattack!"

In an instant, Sun Jian's army and Gu Yi's army slaughtered each other again.

Under the offensive of Sun Jian's army, Gu Yi's army was constantly being injured, yet they dared not retreat.

After all, they could not retreat.

If they retreated, their army would be completely wiped out, and by then, they would all be finished.

Sun Jian's army kept charging and killing, and Gu Yi's soldiers kept dying and being wounded.

Under these circumstances, Gu Yi's army grew weaker the more they fought.

"My lord, the enemy army is too fierce; we are simply no match for them!"

Hearing the deputy general's words, Gu Yi couldn't help but furrow his brow.

He did not expect Sun Jian's army to be so fierce.

He had originally thought his army could easily resolve Sun Jian's army, but he had not expected Sun Jian's army to be so powerful, making him feel somewhat troubled.

Gu Yi's face changed unpredictably, thinking about what he should do.

"My lord, what should we do now?"

"Pass my order: have the brothers retreat!"

"No, absolutely cannot retreat!" Gu Yi shook his head.

"My lord, if this continues, our army will be completely wiped out!" the deputy general advised.

"You know nothing!" Gu Yi couldn't help but curse: "Don't you know that the reinforcements behind are rushing this way? If we retreat now, once the reinforcements arrive, our army will only have the outcome of being completely wiped out!"

"Even if I die, I will drag a few down with me!" Gu Yi sneered.

Hearing Gu Yi's words, the deputy general was also stunned. ===== CHAPTER 1173 =====
