Chapter 1216

The cavalry's formation was airtight, everyone strictly guarding their own position, closely separated from the comrades in front, behind, left, and right by the distance of one horse. They were like an indestructible wall of bronze and iron, their breathing and actions completely synchronized, showing their strict requirements for military discipline and unparalleled tactical coordination.

Their armor flashed with cold light, flashing with the luster of metal under the reflection of the sun, making people unable to help but be shocked. The dust raised under the hooves of their warhorses filled the air, forming a spectacular wall of smoke and dust, making the entire battlefield appear even more solemn and tense.

This cavalry unit not only embodied Yuan Shao's military strength, but also showed their determination and confidence in the war. Their arrival undoubtedly gave Yuan Shao's army a powerful backup force, making the enemy unable to help but feel fear.

"Now our enemy is outside the city, we must destroy him." Yuan Shao pointed at Gu Yi's large army outside the city, his eyes full of anger.

Gu Yi stood in front of the large army, his gaze firm and resolute. His posture was tall and fierce, and his whole body revealed endless combat aura. He was clad in heavy armor, holding a giant axe, preparing to lead his warriors to rush onto the city wall and seize the fruits of victory.

The soldiers in the large army gathered their spirits and were ready to go. The armor on their bodies reflected cold light, everyone gripped their weapons tightly, preparing to fight for Gu Yi's order. Accompanied by the whistling wind and the agitation of war drums, the large army began to advance toward the city wall.

Gu Yi's generals quickly organized the team and built tall scaling ladders. These scaling ladders were made of sturdy wood and cast iron, like a giant's vines stretching toward the sky. The soldiers quickly climbed the scaling ladders, one after another, climbed onto the city wall, and prepared to unfold an intense battle with the enemy.

The soldiers on the scaling ladders had agile postures and steady steps. They held weapons, vigilantly looked around, and were ready to deal with the enemy's attack at any time. They climbed hard, as if they were winding snake bellies, advancing toward the peak of the city wall.

The enemy army on the city wall had long noticed the arrival of Gu Yi's large army; they raised their bows and arrows and shot densely at the soldiers on the scaling ladders. Arrows flew, and the atmosphere was filled with the breath of death, but the soldiers did not retreat at all, bravely continuing to climb.

Gu Yi stood at the very front of the scaling ladder; he waved his giant axe, and the axe light flashed. His eyes were firm and sharp, and the target was right in front of him. He led the soldiers to move forward bravely, not fearing difficulties, not fearing danger, and determined to seize victory.

The battle unfolded intensely on the city wall, with sword light and sword shadows intertwined, and arrows falling like rain. Gu Yi and his warriors fought with the enemy with their flesh and blood; their strength and courage seemed to turn into an insurmountable barrier, blocking the enemy's offensive time and time again.

"Charge for me, whoever takes Gu Yi's head will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold!" Seeing that the battle on the city wall was very tragic, Yuan Shao's eyes turned red, and he roared.

"Charge! Whoever takes Gu Yi, heavy rewards will be given!" Yuan Shao's personal guards shouted one after another, their arrogance rampant.

"Kill!" Yuan Shao's subordinate generals also followed and shouted.

Yuan Shao's personal soldiers followed and shouted with rampant arrogance; their goal was only one, and that was to drive the enemy army away from the city wall and take Gu Yi's head.

Yuan Shao's eyes were wide open; he saw his subordinates fighting bravely, continuously slaughtering the enemy army, and the anger and joy in his heart could not be described. He wished he could rush up immediately to help his subordinates.

Gu Yi's courage, wisdom, and boldness deeply convinced Yuan Shao.

"My lord, look!" Yuan Shao's deputy general suddenly pointed at the soldiers on the scaling ladder and shouted: "Our soldiers are so amazing; they actually broke the enemy's scaling ladder; it's really too amazing!"

"Hmph, isn't it just a scaling ladder? I don't believe that there is anything in this world that can resist a scaling ladder." Yuan Shao sneered.

Yuan Shao's deputy general did not dare to speak anymore, but an expression of gloating appeared on his face.

"Kill!" The enemy army on the city wall saw the scaling ladder being defeated, and their morale suddenly rose greatly. Their eyes flashed with greedy, fierce light, and they waved their weapons one after another to launch a fierce attack on the scaling ladder.

Gu Yi's soldiers continuously charged, people kept falling, and people kept standing up. They would not give up, because they were soldiers, and soldiers took obeying orders as their duty, so even if they were smashed to pieces, they would not hesitate.

There were more and more enemy troops on the city wall, and soldiers kept falling.

A strange feeling rose in Gu Yi's heart, as if something was pulling at his heart, making him feel very painful.

"What's going on... why do I always feel stuffy in my heart?" Gu Yi frowned and thought.

Gu Yi did not know what happened, but his intuition told him that he seemed to have encountered trouble.

"Not good, the number of enemies has increased!" Gu Yi's deputy general suddenly shouted, "Let's retreat quickly!"

Gu Yi's deputy general shouted loudly, urging everyone to leave quickly.

Gu Yi frowned, but did not say much, and quickly turned the scaling ladder.

The scaling ladder galloped on the city wall; its speed was not fast, but under the action of the scaling ladder, its speed became exceptionally swift. Its body emitted a biting cold wind, blowing Gu Yi's hair into a mess, and also blowing away his thoughts.

Countless images appeared in Gu Yi's mind; his vision gradually blurred, and the sounds of screams and wails came to his ears, as well as the shouts of the enemies who kept rushing up.

"No!" Gu Yi suddenly woke up; he saw countless black objects passing by his eyes, and his eyes were filled with panic.

His eyes flashed with fear, and his body trembled.

"No... impossible! I clearly had already burned those things, why would they still appear!" Gu Yi muttered to himself in a lost soul, his heart beating violently, sweat beads appearing on his forehead, and his eye sockets filled with tears.

Gu Yi looked at the city that was getting closer and closer behind him, and he finally realized the key to the problem.

"Could it be them..." Gu Yi shook his head in disbelief, "I don't believe such a thing; how could they know our secret! This matter absolutely could not have been leaked..."
