Chapter 1212: The horn of war has sounded again

"What to do? Of course, attack; as long as we can attack and take Nanjun, then the people of the entire Beihai will be saved!" Yuan Shao said.

"My lord is wise!"

"Pass the order down, everyone, kill into Nanjun for me!" Yuan Shao said.

"Yes!"

Consequently, Yuan Shao's army launched an attack again.

"Kill!"

Following the attack of the army, the people of Nanjun hid one after another; they did not want to die on the battlefield.

The horn of war sounded again, and Yuan Shao's army launched an attack on Gu Yi's large army again.

Gu Yi's army also began to counterattack, and the two sides unfolded a fierce slaughter just like this; the war became exceptionally tragic, and blood dyed the earth red.

Meanwhile, inside Nanjun, Gu Yi led his army and was fighting a life-and-death struggle with Yuan Shao's large army!

The situation inside Nanjun was becoming worse and worse; their city walls also appeared damaged, and the city was also beginning to totter!

"General, the situation is not optimistic! The enemy army is attacking us!" The scout reported.

"I know; how much troop strength do we have left?" Gu Yi asked.

"General, now there is only about fifty thousand troop strength left, but the enemy's quantity exceeds more than one hundred thousand, and the enemy's equipment is very sophisticated; we are simply not their match!" The scout said.

"Hmph, no matter what, we absolutely cannot lose!" Gu Yi said through gritted teeth.

"Yes!"

"My lord, what should we do now? Should we retreat?" The scout asked.

"We have no way out now; our rear has already been blocked by Yuan Shao's army; unless we can take Nanjun!" Gu Yi said.

"Then what does my lord mean?" The scout asked.

"You immediately pass my order, everyone surrender!" Gu Yi said.

"My lord, what did you say?" The scout asked in shock upon hearing this.

"I have already said my words twice; do you still need to ask again?" Gu Yi said coldly.

"Yes!" The scout said, cupping his hands.

Soon, the scout left here and rushed toward the military camp of Nanjun to convey the order.

"People of Nanjun, our big brother Yuan Shao said, as long as you are willing to obediently hand over the grain, we will let you go! Otherwise, we will destroy this grain and turn you into starving ghosts!"

"You can choose to continue to resist, or you can choose to hand over the grain, however, that grain will turn into ashes, so please consider carefully and don't do stupid things!" Yuan Shao's soldiers shouted.

Yuan Shao's soldiers were shouting loudly.

Such voices kept resounding on the city walls of Nanjun.

"My lord, what should we do?" The scout asked.

"Hmph! These dog-begotten things!" Yuan Shao cursed.

"My lord, what should we do now?" The scout asked.

"Hmph! The current situation is very unfavorable to us! The enemy's troop strength is much more than ours; they have already occupied the advantage!" Yuan Shao said.

"Are we just going to sit and wait for death like this?" The scout asked.

"Sit and wait for death? How is that possible!" Yuan Shao said coldly, "We have already been forced to the edge of a cliff now; if we don't seize the opportunity, then we can only wait for death!"

"However..."

"There is no 'however'!"

Subsequently, Yuan Shao immediately ordered all soldiers to retreat.

Watching all the soldiers retreat, Yuan Shao took a deep breath; he knew that they had reached the most dangerous time now.

If they didn't take advantage of the fact that Yuan Shao's large army had not yet completely surrounded them and retreat quickly, then they could only wait for death!

"General, what should we do now?" The scout asked.

"What else can we do? Retreat!" Yuan Shao said.

"However..." The scout was a bit unwilling.

"There is no 'however'; I have already decided, retreat immediately!" Yuan Shao said.

Hearing Yuan Shao's order, the scout had no room to refute and could only follow Yuan Shao's order and retreat.

Yuan Shao's army retreated quickly.

And just at this time, outside the city, Gu Yi's army also suffered an attack from Yuan Shao's army.

During these days, Yuan Shao's soldiers kept harassing Gu Yi's large army.

Although the quantity of Yuan Shao's large army was small, they were attacking continuously, never stopping attacking Gu Yi's large army.

"My lord, the enemy army has begun to retreat!" The deputy general said.

"Hmm!" Gu Yi responded, "Order all armies to strengthen defense and resist Yuan Shao's large army as much as possible; as long as we delay for a long enough time, then we will be victorious!"

"Yes!"

"General, the enemy army has begun to stop!"

"Hmm!" Gu Yi said, "Now we can rest for a moment and replenish supplies!"

"Yes!"

Subsequently, Gu Yi's large army stopped attacking immediately and rested.

And Yuan Shao also did not dare to advance rashly; after all, during these days, the Yuan Shao army lost nearly thirty to forty thousand troops, while the Nanjun army only had five to six thousand troop strength left; such a loss made him feel scared!

If the people of Nanjun all ran away, wouldn't they become an isolated army fighting alone?

Yuan Shao did not dare to take risks easily; he was also worried that if something really happened, he would be unable to clean up the mess. ===== CHAPTER 1213 =====
