Chapter 1240: Mocking his incompetence

Subsequently, the enemy army saw that their leader was dead and fled in fear, terrified that Gu Yi would kill them.

At this time, Gu Yi also saw that these enemy troops had all run away, so he led Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to begin observing the corpses on the ground.

Gu Yi squatted down and carefully observed the corpses on the ground. His gaze was solemn and focused, revealing his experience on the battlefield and his thoughtful attitude. His gaze swept over every fallen enemy, searching for any possible clues.

His eyes lingered on an enemy General he had defeated; that was a warrior clad in armor. From his body, one could see that he played an important role on the battlefield, and the weapon with astonishing destructive power was still held in his hand. Gu Yi secretly praised in his heart that the strength of this enemy General was indeed not to be underestimated.

Continuing to observe, Gu Yi discovered an enemy with a tall figure; his face was ferocious and cruel, and his whole body emitted a murderous aura that made one shudder.

In this enemy's hand was held a huge battle axe, and fresh blood still remained on the blade of the axe.

Gu Yi's heart stirred; perhaps this enemy was a fierce General in their team.

Continuing the search, Gu Yi's gaze landed on an enemy clad in a black battle robe.

Although his face was covered, from the murderous aura emitted from his body, one could feel his cruelty and cunning.

Gu Yi was secretly vigilant; this person seemed to be a strategist of the enemy army, and his existence might have played a key role in the entire battle situation.

Gu Yi's gaze swept over every corpse; he was not only searching for the identity of the enemy army but even more so searching for potentially useful intelligence.

He understood that every detail on the battlefield could potentially become the key to victory.

On this chaotic battlefield, he needed to clarify the strategic intent of the enemy army as soon as possible in order to formulate better countermeasures for his own team.

Standing up, Gu Yi took a deep breath and temporarily stored the observed information in his heart.

"General Guan, General Zhao Yun, do you two have any gains?" Gu Yi asked.

"Reporting to the Young Master, this subordinate has returned without success!" Guan Yu bowed and said; there was not a trace of guilt on his face, and instead, it was overflowing with an expression of joy.

"Oh!" Gu Yi responded lightly and did not blame Guan Yu and the others.

"Young Master, this subordinate has already ascertained the intent of the enemy army; we can make the best defensive measures according to the intent of the enemy army!" Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, his tone very certain.

"Tell me about it!" Gu Yi asked.

"This subordinate observed the formation of the enemy army; their formation is arranged in a triangular manner. Moreover, there are two small detachments in the enemy army, stationed separately on the left and right of the enemy army; one of them is responsible for harassment, and the other is responsible for attacking. Therefore, we completely need not worry that the enemy army will surprise us, and we can also take the opportunity to launch a counterattack," Zhao Yun said.

"En, General Zhao spoke very well, but..." Gu Yi paused and said, "This arrangement of the enemy army makes me feel very strange; I want to know how they designed this plan? If they really think this way, then we need to make corresponding adjustments next."

"This subordinate is dull; please instruct me, Young Master!" Zhao Yun said.

"Our plan is like this: the enemy army wants to use the method of luring the enemy deep to crush our will, and then take the opportunity to occupy our city!" Gu Yi said, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"What? What does this mean? Are they deliberately luring us into the trap? This is simply too despicable!" Zhao Yun shouted angrily.

"Do not be anxious!" Gu Yi waved his hand and said, "Although our plan is very perfect, it is full of loopholes. The enemy army wants to use our will to attack our city, and then they will take advantage of the situation to enter. But they have ignored our wisdom and strategy; they think their plan is seamless, but they did not think that we had already seen through their conspiracy."

"Young Master, do you have any methods?" Guan Yu asked.

"What we need to do is follow the steps and proceed according to the original plan," Gu Yi said with a smile. "However, the prerequisite for this plan is to make the enemy army's plan come to nothing!"

"Young Master, then what should we do next?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Your task now is to drag all these corpses away, and then fill in the surrounding soil; you cannot leave any traces!" Gu Yi said. "Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

"You go and execute the order now!" Gu Yi said. "Leave the matters here to me; we still have many things to handle!"

"Yes!" Zhao Yun and Guan Yu clasped their fists in response, and then they turned and left this place.

Gu Yi looked at the closed door, and a smile hooked slightly at the corner of his mouth.

"General Zhao, Guan Yu, you can rest assured; this plan will definitely make you return fully loaded!" Gu Yi muttered to himself.

"Hahahaha!" Gu Yi looked up and laughed loudly; his mood was very excited, and he seemed to have already seen the enemy army routed before him.

"Hmph! I want to see how much longer you can hold on!" Gu Yi roared lowly. "These enemies want to invade our territory; I will not let them have their way!"

"I want to see how long you can actually hold on!"

After finishing, Gu Yi also turned and walked toward the main camp, preparing to rest and start the battle tomorrow.

Early the next morning.

When Gu Yi and the others had finished gathering and were preparing to set out on an expedition.

Gu Yi discovered that there was no abnormality here at all. The old folks who were fleeing last night had also disappeared without a trace.

Where exactly did they go?

"Young Master!" Guan Yu walked to Gu Yi's side and said, "The enemy's scouts have not been found!"

"Oh! It seems they have already retreated!" Gu Yi said, a smile appearing on his face. "Not bad, we can set out on the expedition with peace of mind."

"Young Master is wise!" Guan Yu flattered.

At this time, thirty miles away from the main camp where Gu Yi was located, Sun Jian's military camp was stationed there.

Sun Jian stood on the high platform of the military camp, his brows locked tightly, and anger burned in his chest. He watched with his own eyes as the soldiers he had sent were completely routed by the army led by Gu Yi, without a single chance of survival.

Feelings of anger spread in Sun Jian's heart; he felt that his majesty and the reputation of his army had suffered a severe blow. He couldn't help but think of Gu Yi's smug smile from yesterday, as if mocking his incompetence.

Sun Jian took a deep breath, attempting to calm down. He knew that the anger at this moment could not solve the problem, but rather required calm thinking about the countermeasures for the next step. He summoned the high-ranking Generals in the army to discuss the plan to deal with Gu Yi.

"Soldiers, I know we suffered major losses last night, but now is not the time for depression and fear, but rather to re-plan our actions!" Sun Jian's voice was filled with firmness and determination. ===== CHAPTER 1241 =====
