Chapter 1219

... he had already figured out the opponent's patterns. He knew that Yuan Shao's soldiers were indeed very powerful, but Zhao Zilong did not fear them.

Zhao Zilong held his long halberd, continuously swinging and hacking, slaughtering the enemy army into disarray.

Screams came, and one enemy soldier after another was killed by Zhao Zilong.

"General Zhao, there are still my soldiers by your side." A general beside Zhao Zilong said to him.

Zhao Zilong nodded slightly; he held his long halberd horizontally across his chest and then pushed the soldiers behind him forward.

Those soldiers immediately charged into Yuan Shao's army, their long spears thrusting toward the enemy soldiers like a violent storm.

The war instantly kicked off.

After a brief moment of panic, the enemy soldiers quickly organized themselves; they surrounded Zhao Zilong's soldiers in the center and then began to attack, their bows and arrows also beginning to pour down upon Zhao Zilong and his men.

Zhao Zilong's expression was solemn; he knew that his soldiers could not continue to be consumed by the opponent like this, otherwise, they would truly be doomed to lose.

"Kill!" Zhao Zilong shouted, brandishing the long spear in his hand and charging forward.

Zhao Zilong's iron cavalry was also brave and skilled in battle; they charged into the middle of the enemy army, their long spears and swords swinging incessantly, knocking Yuan Shao's soldiers to the ground.

"General, we must retreat!" A soldier hurriedly came to Gu Yi's ear and whispered.

"Retreat? Why retreat?" Gu Yi asked in confusion.

"General, the enemy has too many reinforcements, we simply cannot beat them!" the soldier said bitterly.

"I don't care what method you use, in any case, you must make Yuan Shao's reinforcements stay behind." Gu Yi said coldly with a gloomy face, "I want Yuan Shao's soldiers to be completely annihilated."

Gu Yi's face was filled with killing intent.

"Yes! This subordinate will go do it right away." The soldier said, cupping his hands.

"Go!" Gu Yi nodded; he looked at the battle situation in front, his heart very restless.

Gu Yi did not know exactly how many reinforcements the opponent had, but he believed the opponent definitely had more than this.

Gu Yi prayed secretly in his heart, hoping that the reinforcements could arrive sooner, otherwise, his own soldiers would probably not be able to hold on.

Gu Yi's expression became increasingly gloomy.

Just then, exclamations suddenly came from afar.

Gu Yi hurriedly turned his head and looked toward the southeast corner, only to see a cavalry unit charging toward this side; their numbers were large, totaling over three thousand men.

This cavalry unit stopped at a distance of about forty zhang from Gu Yi and the others.

"General, we have encountered Yuan Shao's reinforcements!" the deputy said in a low voice.

Gu Yi's expression changed instantly, and he cursed through gritted teeth: "Damn it!"

"General, what should we do? Can we still hold on?" the soldier asked.

Gu Yi took a deep breath; he looked at the enemy in front and said in a deep voice: "We cannot give up, otherwise, we will all be finished!"

"General!"

"You go block the enemy's reinforcements first, I will go kill their leader, and then you all flee immediately!" Gu Yi shouted loudly.

"But..."

A ferocious smile appeared on Gu Yi's face, and he said coldly: "No more 'buts', you all flee quickly, remember, our reinforcements will arrive within two sticks of incense, as long as you hold out for two sticks of incense, you can survive."

"Yes!" Hearing Gu Yi's words, the soldiers gritted their teeth and took the remaining soldiers to charge out toward the northeast direction.

"General!" The panicked voice of the soldier rang out behind Gu Yi.

A cold sneer curled at the corners of Gu Yi's mouth; he looked in that direction and then roared loudly: "You don't need to worry about me, I will find a way to escape, you all flee quickly!"

"Yes!" The soldier agreed, then quickly left with the remaining soldiers.

"Zhao Zilong, today we will definitely kill you!" Yuan Shao's great banner fluttered in the air; he looked at Zhao Zilong in front and said through gritted teeth.

"Hmph!" Zhao Zilong let out a cold snort; he brandished the long halberd in his hand and charged toward the enemy army, his speed extremely fast.

"Kill!"

Zhao Zilong was the first to charge into Yuan Shao's formation; those soldiers were scared silly, standing blankly in place, looking at Zhao Zilong in front.

Just then, Zhao Zilong brandished the long halberd in his hand and thrust it toward the opponent.

"Ah!" The soldier was pierced through the body by the long halberd, blood gushed from his throat, and he fell to the ground.

Zhao Zilong's figure was like the wind; he killed all those soldiers and then continued to charge toward Yuan Shao.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Shao's expression changed drastically; his face was gloomy, and his heart was very uneasy.

"Zhao Zilong, don't be arrogant, we will make you regret it." Yuan Shao said through gritted teeth.

Zhao Zilong's expression was uncertain, his eyes filled with a cold, piercing look.

"General, let's retreat!" The deputy came to Gu Yi's side and said.

"No! My soldiers cannot retreat!" Gu Yi said firmly.

"General, we have already lost so many brothers, if we continue like this, our soldiers will definitely suffer more losses, do you still want to watch them go to their deaths?" the deputy persuaded.

"No, I absolutely cannot give up!" Gu Yi said through gritted teeth, "I will absolutely not retreat, you all rest assured, I will definitely protect you all as you leave!"

The deputy sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Gu Yi looked at the surrounding enemy army; he knew he had to make a decision. He looked at the surrounding soldiers and shouted in a deep voice: "Brothers, our reinforcements are arriving soon, we absolutely cannot give up, otherwise, we will be completely annihilated!"

"General, we swear to follow you to the death!" the generals shouted.

Gu Yi nodded, his gaze cast forward.

"Kill!"

Yuan Shao's army charged up quickly, surrounding Zhao Zilong's army tightly.

"Brothers, fight for your lives!" Gu Yi roared, "For the General, we absolutely cannot give up!"

"Kill!"

Gu Yi led his soldiers to charge toward Yuan Shao's army.

Those soldiers were all wounded, but they were still fighting fiercely.

"Kill!"

The soldiers of both sides were constantly clashing, fighting; blood flowed, corpses piled up, the scene was very chaotic and extremely tragic.

Gu Yi's soldiers fell one after another; whether they were soldiers or ordinary commoners, they did not dare to relax their vigilance.

They all knew that as long as they relaxed even a little, they would fall into danger, and they would die even more miserably.

"Brothers, you cannot fall, you must hold on, you cannot give up!" Gu Yi shouted loudly.

Gu Yi's voice shook the heart of every soldier; they charged forward desperately, constantly slaughtering Yuan Shao's soldiers...
