Chapter 1285: How to break this stalemate

"Hmm, that's right. How about it?" Cao Hong nodded upon hearing Gu Yi's words.

"That's good then. I was just worrying about how to break this stalemate, and you've walked right into the trap," Gu Yi said with a slight smile.

"What do you mean by that?" Cao Hong asked, frowning slightly upon hearing Gu Yi's words.

"It's simple. I wanted to test the strength of your soldiers. Now that my soldiers have changed into armor, I want to see exactly how much your soldiers are worth. If possible, I'd like to duel with you," Gu Yi said with a faint smile.

"What? A duel? Do you really think you are a match for me?" Cao Hong sneered upon hearing Gu Yi's words.

"Heh, then I'd like to test your worth," Gu Yi said.

"Haha, you despicable villain, to actually dare to duel with me. You are seeking your own death; I will not show you any mercy," Cao Hong sneered.

"Then let's see who will lose," Gu Yi said upon hearing Cao Hong's words.

Soon, he had his soldiers stand in the front.

Meanwhile, Cao Hong led his soldiers and walked toward the front.

Soon, the two armies were close, but Cao Hong hesitated because his soldiers had discovered their armor.

Soon, Cao Hong said: "Listen well, this is my Great Qin, and I am Cao Hong. If you dare to fire arrows, I guarantee that none of you will survive."

Cao Hong knew that if his men fired arrows here, they would likely be hit by Gu Yi's crossbows, and they would be killed because they could not dodge the crossbow attacks.

"Oh, so you are Cao Hong. No wonder you look familiar. However, since you are Cao Hong, I won't be polite with your soldiers. Shoot them all," Gu Yi said with a faint smile.

"Gu Yi, you dare!" Cao Hong roared upon hearing Gu Yi's words.

"Haha, why wouldn't I dare?" Gu Yi laughed, then said to his crossbowmen: "Fire."

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

Soon, Gu Yi's crossbows emitted a few light sounds.

Hearing Gu Yi's words, the soldiers beside him began to fire arrows, targeting Cao Hong's soldiers.

Although Cao Hong's soldiers were wearing armor, their bodies were relatively thin, so they were easily hit by the enemy's bolts.

However, the strength of Cao Hong's soldiers was quite good, and they dodged, but their speed was much slower.

"Hahaha, your speed is quite fast," Gu Yi said with a slight smile upon seeing this.

"Hmph, enough nonsense. Someone, kill them all," Cao Hong ordered.

Soon, Cao Hong's soldiers charged at Gu Yi's, and the two sides instantly engaged in a chaotic battle.

However, although Gu Yi's soldiers were wearing armor, many were still injured.

"Pay attention, everyone. Don't let their armor touch your bodies," Gu Yi shouted to the soldiers beside him.

"Don't worry, boss," the soldiers said with a smile.

"Hmph, today I want to see what you're capable of. However, you'd better be able to withstand our arrow rain," Cao Hong said, then shouted to his soldiers: "Keep firing."

As Cao Hong's voice fell, Gu Yi's soldiers began to retaliate.

However, although Cao Hong's numbers were relatively large, their bows and arrows were quite formidable, so Gu Yi's soldiers, despite being hit hard, persisted.

Soon, their numbers gradually decreased, and Cao Hong became somewhat panicked.

"What are you all standing there for? Why aren't you attacking?" Cao Hong shouted to his soldiers.

Soon, Gu Yi's soldiers began to counterattack again, and their counterattack surprised Cao Hong.

"Damn it, I don't believe it. With so many of us, we still can't take you down," Cao Hong said, becoming somewhat anxious.

Not long after, the losses of Gu Yi's soldiers became increasingly severe.

"All of you, charge," Cao Hong said, becoming somewhat impatient as he saw that two-thirds of his soldiers had been lost.

However, Cao Hong's soldiers were now somewhat hesitant.

Cao Hong became somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"What is going on with you all? Do you want me to punish you?" Cao Hong shouted angrily.

"General, this person is too cunning. He just used poison, so we cannot act rashly," the deputy general said.

"Bastards, are you all useless? What use do I have for you?" Cao Hong glared at the deputy general.

"But, General, this person is too strange, we cannot take risks," the deputy general said in a low voice.

"Bastards, shut up! Are you all cowards?" Cao Hong shouted loudly.

"General, subordinate..." the deputy general seemed to want to explain something.

"Get out!" Before the deputy general could finish, he was interrupted by Cao Hong.

"General." The deputy general still wanted to say something, but Cao Hong said coldly: "Get out."

"Yes." The deputy general sighed and led the others away.

"General, what should we do now?" Cao Hong's adjutant asked.

"We will retreat first," Cao Hong said coldly.

"Retreat? Why retreat? With so many of us, they certainly cannot stop us," the adjutant said in shock.

"Hmph, what do you know? His crossbows have many characteristics. If I encounter him, I am confident I can make him die here," Cao Hong said coldly.

"General, but this must not be done," the adjutant advised quickly.

"There is nothing that must not be done. We are retreating now," Cao Hong said coldly.

"But..." The adjutant still wanted to speak, but he was directly interrupted by Cao Hong.

"Enough, I have already decided on this matter, so do not meddle in other people's business," Cao Hong said coldly.

"But General." ===== CHAPTER 1286 =====
