Chapter 1214: Still able to have so many people left
Immediately, more than one hundred thousand Yuan Shao troops rushed up.
Both sides started slaughtering each other instantly.
Yuan Shao's soldiers were crazily hacking and killing the other side, and Gu Yi's soldiers were also desperately blocking Yuan Shao's soldiers.
Screams were endless, blood splashed into the air, and dyed the ground red.
This intense slaughter lasted for a full half a month; until the end, both sides suffered heavy losses, Yuan Shao and Gu Yi both suffered heavy losses, both sides' personnel were almost all dead, leaving less than two hundred thousand troop strength, and Yuan Shao's troops still alive were only a few tens of thousands, and the remaining troop strength all fled.
Gu Yi's army was also completely lost.
Gu Yi's army was dead or injured, and only a mere few thousand people remained.
And Yuan Shao's troops were also not few, only five or six tens of thousands remained, also suffering heavy losses.
"Yuan Shao, your doomsday has arrived!" Gu Yi rode on his warhorse and said loudly.
"Hahaha, Gu Yi, I didn't expect you to have such ability; not bad, not bad!" Yuan Shao sneered.
"Yuan Shao, you are not bad either; you still have so many people left; it seems you are prepared to fight me to the death!" Gu Yi sneered.
"Not bad, Gu Yi, between you and me, there must be a conclusion!" Yuan Shao said, "You are a talent; if you are willing to join my Yuan family, then I am willing to give up everything here and give you enough honor!"
"Hahaha, honor? Do I, Gu Yi, still need your honor?" Gu Yi laughed loudly, "Yuan Shao, I tell you, you are not worthy of getting honor in this life! Because you are already a prisoner, I, Gu Yi, am the king of the world, and you are my prisoner!"
Hearing Gu Yi's words, Yuan Shao's complexion suddenly turned gloomy: "Good! Then let me witness your ability!"
"Come on, if you want to witness my ability, then I will let you see clearly what my strength is!" Gu Yi said.
Yuan Shao shouted: "Pass the order down, kill for me!"
"Yes!" The personal guard beside Yuan Shao responded and left.
"General, should we retreat?" The personal guard asked.
"Retreat?" Yuan Shao shook his head, "No, we will hold this city and wait for the arrival of reinforcements!"
"However, General, if the Nanjun city cannot be held, we will face a disaster!" The personal guard said worriedly.
"Don't worry, we still have reinforcements! Even if we die here, we must hold Nanjun to the death; we absolutely cannot let Nanjun be lost!" Yuan Shao said firmly.
"However, if this continues, I'm afraid our army won't be able to persist for too long!" The personal guard said.
"No, our reinforcements will arrive soon; by then, we will not be bullied by these Nanjun people, and by then, the Nanjun people will not have complaints about us!" Yuan Shao said.
Hearing Yuan Shao's words, the personal guard finally understood that Yuan Shao had already arranged this war, and they were just cannon fodder.
Yuan Shao's words made them a bit suspicious, however, they did not ask any more; they knew that as long as Yuan Shao wanted to say it, they would be able to hear it.
Just at this time, a loud noise suddenly came from afar, shaking people's eardrums until they hurt.
"What is going on?" Yuan Shao frowned and asked.
"General, it's not good; Gu Yi's large army used catapults to smash this city wall, and the people in the city have also died!" The personal guard reported urgently.
Hearing this news, Yuan Shao was stunned, and immediately cursed angrily: "Bastard, Gu Yi, I want to kill you!"
"Someone, immediately light the fire and burn the city wall for me!" Yuan Shao roared.
"General, I'm afraid it's already too late!" The personal guard reminded.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao's heart trembled violently; he knew that now the grain and fodder in his hands were not much, while Gu Yi's army was endless, and they would definitely increase grain and fodder endlessly; by then, his army would simply not be able to support it!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao suddenly felt despair, but he did not give up; he still held onto his last hope.
"Someone, immediately prepare fire oil for me, and blow up this city for me!" Yuan Shao shouted loudly.
"General, we don't have fire oil!" The personal guard said bitterly.
"Trash!" Yuan Shao cursed angrily, "Could it be that we are just watching the people of Nanjun being killed by Gu Yi?"
"General..." The personal guard hesitated.
"Hurry up and prepare fire oil; if we don't prepare it any longer, we can only let Gu Yi slaughter us!" Yuan Shao roared.
"Yes!"
Not long after, the fire at the city gate burned more and more vigorously.
"Hahaha, Yuan Shao, this city of yours, after all, cannot be kept, hahaha!" Gu Yi laughed wildly.
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth, but he also had no way to deal with it.
His gaze scanned the surroundings, looking at the corpses all over the ground, Yuan Shao's heart was filled with hatred.
At this time, he suddenly saw several riders galloping over from afar.
Seeing these several riders, Yuan Shao was overjoyed in his heart.
"Hahaha, my reinforcements have finally arrived!" Yuan Shao laughed excitedly.
"General, your reinforcements have arrived!" The personal guard also said happily.
Soon, Gu Yi's several thousand cavalry appeared in front of Yuan Shao and the personal guard.
"Greetings, my lord!" Several thousand cavalry knelt down in unison.
"Good, good, good, my army has finally arrived!" Yuan Shao smiled with relief.
"General, although these soldiers have arrived, they seem to be seriously injured; I'm afraid their combat effectiveness is not good!" The personal guard said worriedly.
"Hahaha, my troop strength far exceeds theirs, so you don't need to worry at all; they are simply not my match!" Yuan Shao said proudly.
Immediately, Yuan Shao shouted to these several thousand cavalry: "Everyone, this time you have made a contribution, this general will not treat you unfairly; as long as you can kill Gu Yi, this general will reward you heavily!"
"Thank you, General!" These several thousand cavalry shouted in unison.
"Hahaha!" Yuan Shao roared toward the sky.
He seemed to see the dawn of victory beckoning to him.
"General, what should we do?" The personal guard asked.
"First kill these rebel troops, then kill all these people, and then transport all these corpses to Nanjun city!" Yuan Shao said.
"Yes!"
Soon, these several thousand cavalry rushed toward those several thousand rebel troops.
Seeing Yuan Shao's army coming over, these several thousand rebel troops were suddenly scared out of their wits.
"General, General, let's surrender!" These people shouted one after another.
Hearing this sentence, Yuan Shao was suddenly furious: "We surrender? It's simply wishful thinking!"
"General, we are all Yuan Shao's subordinates; you cannot kill us!" Those rebel troops shouted one after another.
"Hmph! You also know that we are Yuan Shao's subordinates? Since you are Yuan Shao's troops, you should be loyal to Yuan Shao, not resist!" Yuan Shao scolded.
"However, General, we really don't dare to betray Yuan Shao!" ===== CHAPTER 1215 =====
