Chapter 1268

He ordered the soldiers to march out of the city and commanded the entire army to form ranks and wait for battle.

Gu Yi led the soldiers toward the city gate, and just as they approached, Yuan Shao's army charged out from inside the city.

Gu Yi's mouth curled into a cold sneer, and he shouted: "Strike hard, no mercy!"

"Yes, General!"

"Kill!"

Hearing Gu Yi's words, the soldiers roared in anger, raised their weapons, and charged toward Yuan Shao's army.

The two sides clashed and quickly fell into chaos.

"Fire arrows, fire arrows!"

Gu Yi's deputy general shouted, issuing the order to fire.

Following the order, Yuan Shao's army was instantly turned into a sieve, suffering heavy casualties.

"Damn Yuan Shao, I will definitely make you pay in blood!" Gu Yi thought to himself as he watched the Yuan army being riddled with arrows.

"My lord, our casualties are too heavy, I'm afraid..."

"Shut up, hold your ground! Don't let them easily break through Yexian!"

Gu Yi stared coldly at Yuan Shao in front, cursing inwardly.

How could he not know that if they continued to fight like this, they would eventually be killed by Yuan Shao's army.

But what other choice did he have?

This was Yuan Shao's lair; he simply couldn't break through.

And now he had lost his reason, unable to think of how to break through Yexian.

Now, there was only one way: fight to the death!

Yuan Shao looked at the army beside him, his face growing increasingly gloomy.

"Kill, kill them all for me!"

His eyes were bloodshot, as if he had gone mad.

His order echoed beside him.

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, his soldiers picked up their weapons and charged toward Gu Yi's soldiers.

Soon, the two armies were locked in a fierce and brutal slaughter.

Gu Yi's face was ashen as he watched his soldiers fall one after another; his heart was bleeding.

His army had already lost five thousand men, not including the soldiers who had died.

This time, he had truly lost everything; not only had he gained no advantage, but he had also lost over five thousand men.

These were his most elite soldiers, and such a loss made his heart ache.

But he had no other choice now, for he had no way out.

If he didn't break through Yexian soon, Yuan Shao's army would continue to pour into the city.

"Kill!"

Gu Yi roared through gritted teeth.

"General, there are too many enemies, our soldiers have already suffered more than half casualties, I'm afraid..." a soldier advised.

"Hmph, this time I will absolutely not let them leave Yexian alive!"

Gu Yi said through gritted teeth, then issued the order.

"Archers, ready!"

Following his order, the archers on the city gate pulled their bowstrings, aiming at Yuan Shao's soldiers below.

The arrows pierced the sky, flying toward Yuan Shao's soldiers.

The arrows struck the chests of Yuan Shao's soldiers, blood splattering out and covering the entire city wall.

"Kill, kill them for me!"

Seeing his soldiers under attack, Yuan Shao roared loudly.

Immediately after, he led his army to charge toward the foot of the wall, engaging in a fierce battle with Gu Yi's soldiers on the ramparts.

The battle between the two armies entered a white-hot stage.

"Kill, strike hard!"

"Yuan Shao, you dog, you dare to kill my young master, you will regret this!"

"Kill, kill all of Yuan Shao's men!"

Seeing Yuan Shao's army charge up the city wall, the deputy general beside Gu Yi roared.

"Fire arrows!"

Gu Yi issued the order to fire, and instantly, arrows whistled out from the ramparts, dense as raindrops, shooting toward the soldiers below.

Seeing the arrows from the ramparts, Yuan Shao's soldiers panicked.

"Protect my lord!"

"My lord, you must retreat quickly!"

Seeing Yuan Shao's soldiers fall into chaos, a cold sneer appeared on Gu Yi's face.

"Haha, Yuan Shao, today is your death day!"

"Kill, kill all of Yuan Shao's men!" Gu Yi's eyes flashed with hatred as he roared.

Yuan Shao's army charged toward the ramparts again, disregarding life and death, fearing no demise.

"Fire arrows!"

Seeing Yuan Shao's army charge again, Gu Yi issued the order to fire once more.

Instantly, the arrows from the ramparts fell like rain, covering the sky as they flew toward the soldiers below.

Many of Yuan Shao's soldiers were killed.

A ferocious look appeared on Yuan Shao's face as he issued another order.

"Fire, fire for me!"

Gu Yi issued the order to fire again, but the arrows did not arrive as expected.
