Chapter 1217

"My lord, my lord, where are you?" Just then, his deputy called out loudly, his voice laced with intense panic.

"I am here," Gu Yi replied loudly, running quickly toward the deputy.

"My lord, let's retreat quickly! The enemy is too powerful; they have thirty thousand elite cavalry, we simply cannot beat them!" the deputy shouted anxiously.

"What did you say?" Gu Yi's eyes widened. "Thirty thousand cavalry! How can they have so many cavalrymen!"

"This matter is due to my incompetence, I hope my lord will punish me," the deputy said with his head lowered, terrified, his voice trembling slightly.

"Forget it, let's retreat." A foreboding premonition welled up in Gu Yi's heart, and his voice also held a deep sense of fear.

Seeing that his lord no longer had the desire to fight, Gu Yi's deputy nodded and quickly mobilized the main army, preparing to flee the scene.

Just as Gu Yi turned around, a loud explosion suddenly erupted at the city gate, and the entire city wall shook slightly a few times.

"What is going on?" A foreboding premonition welled up in Gu Yi's heart.

He hurriedly looked toward the direction of the city gate and discovered that the guards at the gate had already been overrun by the enemy army. Gu Yi's heart instantly sank; these enemy cavalry were simply too formidable, not only able to easily defeat their scaling ladders but also able to easily breach their city gate.

"This..." Gu Yi's heart was filled with unease, his fists clenched tightly.

"How could it be like this..." Gu Yi muttered through gritted teeth.

Just then, a huge cheer suddenly erupted from the city tower; their morale was greatly boosted, everyone was shouting excitedly, and their eyes were burning with intense flames.

"What is going on?" Gu Yi looked at the soldiers on the city wall.

"It's General Zhao Zilong's reinforcements!" the soldiers shouted loudly.

Zhao Zilong?

Gu Yi was stunned. He looked up and indeed saw several thousand men clad in armor galloping on horseback, charging into their ranks. Their weapons were flashing with cold light, possessing infinite power, and they quickly gained the upper hand.

"General, this... this..." The deputy's lips trembled twice; he did not finish his sentence, but his eyes were filled with shock.

"Who are they?" Gu Yi's voice even became stuttering.

"They... they are the General's brothers!" the deputy's voice carried surprise.

"They are my brothers!" Gu Yi suddenly roared.

"Yes!" The deputy's face was full of surprise; he had not expected this group of people to actually be Gu Yi's brothers.

"Who are they?" Gu Yi continued to ask.

"They are General Zhao Zilong's subordinates!" the deputy said in a low voice.

A faint smile curled at the corners of Gu Yi's mouth; he finally understood why their tactics were so familiar.

Zhao Zilong!

They were actually Zhao Zilong!

So that was it! So it was General Zhao Zilong! Gu Yi's mood could not calm down for a long time.

"Zhao Zilong, come quickly with me to take Yuan Shao's city wall, take the city gate!" Gu Yi shouted toward Zhao Zilong in the distance.

"My lord, no!" The deputy's face was pale, and he shouted loudly, "Doing this will only lead to the total annihilation of our entire army!"

Deep hatred appeared in Gu Yi's eyes.

"No, I absolutely cannot let these damn Yuan Shao forces succeed!" Gu Yi said through gritted teeth.

The deputy sighed; he knew he could not persuade Gu Yi anymore.

"My lord, do you still remember that great battle last time?"

"I remember." Gu Yi nodded. "You mean..."

"My lord, you should remember that great battle back then."

Gu Yi fell silent. Back then, he had led five hundred elite soldiers to fight a decisive battle against Cao Cao, and in the end, they had completely wiped out Cao Cao's five hundred elite soldiers.

"My lord, do you know why the enemy this time is so powerful?"

Gu Yi's expression changed. His eyes stared at the enemy in the distance; he knew, in his heart, he was actually very clear about the enemy's strength.

"My lord, the enemy this time is not just elite, but also has many cavalrymen. They hold scaling ladders and can quickly climb the city wall, and their cavalry is very proficient in mounted archery, so..." the deputy said.

Gu Yi's body trembled slightly twice, and deep fear flashed in his eyes.

"My lord, we must leave here as soon as possible."

Gu Yi nodded, and intense killing intent erupted from his eyes. He said through gritted teeth: "Since that is the case, we will break out of the encirclement, break out!"

A resolute expression appeared on Gu Yi's face, and his eyes were filled with rage.

"Kill!" His voice carried a cold, chilling intent.

He brandished the precious sword in his hand and led his soldiers to charge into the enemy's camp.

Zhao Zilong led the Zhao family's iron cavalry to charge into the enemy ranks; his warhorse reared and turned amidst the enemy formations, kicking up clouds of dust.

Gu Yi's eyes narrowed into tiny slits; he stared at that smoke-filled area.

"It can be seen that Yuan Shao's reinforcements are numerous, and each one is very brave and skilled in battle. We don't have many men, it's hard to win," the deputy said worriedly.

"Hmph, those reinforcements of Yuan Shao are nothing but a rabble. As long as we break out of the encirclement, they will be routed." A ruthless look flashed across Gu Yi's face.

A worried expression appeared on the deputy's face.

"My lord, can we really win?"
