Chapter 1274

"General Gu Yi, there's no need; my wounds will recover soon, let's continue our journey!"

"No, General Zhao Yun, please forgive my bluntness, although your wounds are no longer a problem, your body is extremely weak and needs rest as soon as possible!" Seeing Zhao Yun's persistence, Gu Yi said hurriedly.

"No, I cannot let you continue forward; the reason we were defeated this time is because the opponent used trickery!" Zhao Yun shook his head and said.

"How could that be? General Zhao Yun, I believe in you; your combat power is by no means comparable to those rabble, you could never have lost!"

"My lord, I know your intentions, but I cannot let you take risks; I cannot let anything happen to you!" Zhao Yun said firmly.

Seeing Zhao Yun's firm appearance, Gu Yi knew he couldn't persuade him and could only nod in agreement.

"Now Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are both guarding us outside the city; it seems they have made an agreement, and it is simply impossible for us to escape the city," Zhao Yun said bitterly.

After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Gu Yi's brows also furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

"General Zhao Yun, is there any other way for us to escape?" A moment later, Gu Yi asked again.

"I've thought of it, we can still escape through the side gate!"

"Oh? Side gate?"

"Yes, I once left a mark on the side gate outside the city, we can escape through the side gate!"

"Side gate!"

Hearing the words "side gate," Gu Yi's eyes lit up.

"General Zhao Yun, our survival this time depends on the side gate. Since we can escape the city through the side gate, we must seize the opportunity and not waste any more time!"

Hearing Gu Yi's words, Zhao Yun nodded and said: "I understand!"

"Let's go!"

After speaking, Gu Yi led the soldiers to run toward the side gate on the west side of the city.

And just as he had left the city wall, several sharp arrows suddenly flew out from the city in the distance, shooting toward the backs of Zhao Yun and the others.

Seeing this, Gu Yi and the others hurriedly stopped in their tracks.

"My lord, there's an ambush!"

"Hmph, it really is Cao Cao, finding our tracks so quickly; truly cunning!" Gu Yi snorted coldly.

Hearing Gu Yi's words, Zhao Yun also sneered, "It seems we are going to die this time!"

"General Zhao Yun, now is not the time to say such things; the most urgent matter is to find the location of the side gate as soon as possible and then charge out!"

"Good!"

Hearing Gu Yi's words, Zhao Yun nodded and led everyone to run toward the side gate.

And just as they approached the side gate, several soldiers rushed out from it.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yun's mouth, and he said: "Well come, since that's the case, I will kill you all!"

After speaking, the precious sword in Zhao Yun's hand brandished, directly slashing toward those soldiers.

Seeing the precious sword in Zhao Yun's hand, those soldiers were also shocked and hurriedly took out their weapons to block.

Immediately, the two sides fought and engaged in a slaughter.

"General, our reinforcements have arrived!"

"Reinforcements have arrived!" Hearing the soldier's words, Gu Yi hurriedly looked toward the city in the distance.

He saw that the outskirts of the distant city were filled with dense archers.

Seeing this, Gu Yi breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed they would be safe and sound this time.

"General, let's go quickly!"

Hearing the soldier's words, Gu Yi nodded and led the soldiers to leave this place quickly.

"General Zhao Yun, let's retreat quickly, we can't delay any longer!" Gu Yi shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

Subsequently, Zhao Yun led the soldiers to run quickly toward the side gate.

Just then, the sound of soldiers came from the distant city tower, "Enemy attack, fire arrows quickly!"

Hearing this, Gu Yi and the others hurriedly dodged.

However, those soldiers' archery skills were excellent, and every shot accurately hit Gu Yi and the others, forcing them to dodge to the left or right.

"General, we can't run to the left or right anymore, otherwise we'll all be turned into hedgehogs!" Gu Yi's brows furrowed slightly, he said.

"I know, but we must find a way to shake them off; only then will we have hope of leaving this place!" Zhao Yun said firmly.

Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Gu Yi's eyes narrowed into lines, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"General, you are right, but we must have a strategy!" Gu Yi said.

"Strategy?"

Hearing Gu Yi's words, Zhao Yun's brows furrowed, "General Gu Yi, are we going to fight head-on?"

Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Gu Yi's eyes lit up, and he said: "Yes, fight head-on!"

"General, that won't do, we are simply no match for them, we must use strategy!"

"General, we cannot sit and wait for death, we must find a way to break through!" Zhao Yun's expression turned gloomy.

Gu Yi also furrowed his brows and said: "Yes, in the current situation, we have no other way, we must find a way to break through!"

After speaking, Gu Yi looked at the soldiers beside him.

"General, what should we do now?" the soldier asked hurriedly.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Gu Yi's face, "Now we have no choice but to break through!"

"Yes, General, we must break through; only then will we have a chance to escape!"

"Good, follow me!"

After speaking, Gu Yi led the soldiers toward the side gate.

Arriving near the side gate, Gu Yi had the soldiers stop, then took out a fire starter from his bosom and lit it.

With a "whoosh," the torch instantly turned to ash.

Afterward, Gu Yi said to Zhao Yun and the others: "You all retreat, I will cover the rear!"

Hearing Gu Yi's words, Zhao Yun nodded and led the soldiers to retreat.
