Chapter 1188: Had no idea where the enemy was

The enemy had actually planted explosives around their grain and fodder.

"General Gu, quickly lead your men to retreat!" Zhao Yun said urgently.

Gu Yi was stunned; he had not expected the opponent to be so cunning, planting explosives near the grain and fodder. He hurriedly ordered a retreat.

The soldiers were also in a panic; none of them had expected the enemy to have planted explosives around their grain and fodder, and they had chosen to plant them right near the supplies.

"Run quickly!"

"The enemy has planted explosives around our grain and fodder; we are trapped, run quickly!"

The soldiers' cries rang out in unison, their emotions becoming extremely tense; they threw away their weapons one after another and ran frantically toward the city tower, their faces filled with terror and panic.

Gu Yi stood on the tower, watching the soldiers abandon their weapons and flee. A cold sneer formed at the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself: "These soldiers are truly stupid! They didn't even see the ambush the enemy had planted around them; they are truly too foolish."

He watched the soldiers below running toward the city gate, a cold sneer on his face.

His soldiers had no idea where the enemy was; there was no need for them to run at all.

A cold sneer hung on Gu Yi's mouth; he looked at Zhao Yun beside him and said: "General Zhao, since the enemy has planted explosives around our grain and fodder, it means the enemy will definitely send men to sneak attack our supplies, and it is also possible that the enemy is lying in ambush around our grain!"

Zhao Yun's brow was tightly furrowed; he also realized that the enemy was lying in ambush around the grain and fodder.

They were now being attacked from both front and rear by the enemy; if they were surrounded, they would be in danger.

"General Gu, what should we do now?" Zhao Yun asked. "Should I lead my soldiers to charge out?"

"The enemy's bombs are planted all around our grain and fodder; charging out now would definitely result in heavy casualties. I think we should wait for the enemy to attack, and then we can think of other ways," Gu Yi said.

Zhao Yun nodded, feeling that what Gu Yi said made a lot of sense; they should indeed wait for the enemy to attack.

"Then I will take my soldiers to rest; when the enemy attacks, we will act," Zhao Yun said.

Gu Yi smiled and nodded.

Zhao Yun took his soldiers back to their camp, and then he lay on his bed to rest.

Gu Yi sat on a chair, his gaze falling outside the window.

"Gu Yi."

Zhao Yun's voice suddenly rang out from outside the tent. Gu Yi immediately looked up toward the outside of the tent and saw Zhao Yun standing there.

"General Zhao, are you awake?" Gu Yi asked.

Zhao Yun nodded and asked: "General Gu, the enemy has attacked; what should we do now?"

Gu Yi smiled and said: "I had anticipated this long ago; I had already thought of this possibility, so I had already instructed the soldiers to be prepared. They are preparing for battle now."

"Then we will just wait for the enemy to attack," Zhao Yun said.

Gu Yi smiled and said: "No, General Zhao, you are wrong; you cannot wait here for the enemy to attack, because the enemy is likely lying in ambush in the nearby mountains."

"What?" Zhao Yun widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "How could the enemy be lying in ambush in the nearby mountains?"

"Hehe," Gu Yi smiled and said: "General Zhao, you have forgotten that we are cavalry; horses are faster than infantry, so lying in ambush in the enemy's territory is the best choice."

"General Gu, I understand." Zhao Yun's mind was thinking rapidly; he soon understood. He looked at Gu Yi and said: "General Gu, you are right; the enemy is indeed lying in ambush in the nearby mountains. It's just that they probably didn't expect us to lie in ambush in advance, so they must be lying in ambush nearby."

"I believe General Zhao's guess is also correct; what we need to do now is wait quietly for the enemy's attack," Gu Yi nodded and said.

"Hmm," Zhao Yun agreed.

"General, our soldiers have been waiting on the city wall for three days; I am worried they won't be able to hold on," Zhao Yun's adjutant couldn't help but advise.

"Hmph! If they can't hold on, they can only blame themselves for being too useless; they can't even find a trace of the enemy, what qualifications do they have to be soldiers?!" Gu Yi said with a cold sneer.

Zhao Yun's adjutant lowered his head and dared not say more.

"Our most important task now is to guard the grain and fodder well; as long as we hold the supplies, the enemy will have no way to strike at them," Gu Yi continued.

Zhao Yun nodded; he also understood that this was the best way, so he gave up on resisting and let the soldiers rest on the city wall.

Time passed slowly.

Soon it was dawn, and Zhao Yun woke up from his dream; he immediately put on his armor and led his soldiers out of the camp.

Zhao Yun's soldiers were already prepared; even if the enemy attacked, they would fight back to the death.

Zhao Yun stood outside the camp and scanned his surroundings, finding no one there. He breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to his soldiers: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived; let's follow our reinforcements and kill our way out!"

The soldiers became excited, their eyes flashing with a sharp light: "Kill!"

After shouting this, the soldiers began to charge toward the forest ahead.

Zhao Yun followed closely behind, the long spear in his hand brandishing, chopping down the trees blocking their path one after another.

"General, be careful!" the soldiers shouted one after another: "The enemy is right behind us!"

A cold smile formed at the corner of Zhao Yun's mouth; his body leaped up abruptly, thrusting toward his rear.

The long spear in Zhao Yun's hand thrust toward his rear, piercing directly through the enemy's chest. Blood sprayed out, splashing all over Zhao Yun and the other soldiers.

The soldiers gasped, their pupils contracting, their faces filled with horror.

Only then did they feel the approach of death; they stopped attacking one after another and turned to flee.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!" Zhao Yun sneered, a cruel, cold glint appearing in his eyes.

He swept his long spear horizontally, slaying several enemies behind him.

Holding his long spear, he ran toward the front.

Gu Yi watched Zhao Yun killing the enemy, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth, and then he also quickly pursued Zhao Yun.

The two soon caught up with Zhao Yun, and they stood side by side.

A smile formed at the corner of Gu Yi's mouth, and he said to Zhao Yun: "General Zhao, you have performed a meritorious service again."

Zhao Yun's expression was solemn; he shook his head and said: "General Gu, now that the enemy has arrived, we should leave quickly." ===== CHAPTER 1189 =====
