Chapter 1286: Hiding in the rear

Cao Hong had already deployed his army here.

Countless crossbowmen stared at Gu Yi's army on the city walls, prepared to fight them to the death.

Gu Yi was seen standing on the city wall, staring intently at Cao Hong's army below, his expression devoid of any panic.

"It seems Cao Hong intends to use his crossbowmen to take us down this time," Gu Yi remarked to Guan Yu, who was beside him.

Although Gu Yi did not fear them, he knew that if he struck first, he would likely suffer heavy losses.

Because this was the ambush site for Cao Hong's army, their main force of crossbowmen was hiding in the rear, waiting for the opportunity to launch a fatal attack.

"General Gu, you need not worry. I have already arranged archers on my side. As long as they dare to come out, I guarantee they will not return!" Guan Yu said confidently.

"Heh, then many thanks to you!" Gu Yi smiled at Guan Yu.

Just as the two were speaking, they suddenly saw a large number of soldiers emerging below the city.

"Enemy attack!"

Guan Yu shouted immediately, his body charging forward rapidly.

"Shoot them to death!" Cao Hong shouted immediately as he watched Guan Yu charge over.

Countless crossbowmen immediately aimed at the direction where Guan Yu was.

Countless arrows flew toward Guan Yu.

Guan Yu, however, ran toward Cao Hong's direction at top speed amidst the rain of arrows.

"Shoot them to death!"

As Cao Hong's order fell, the crossbowmen abandoned their aim and fired frantically at the enemy troops on the city wall.

The arrows fell into the moat at the city gate.

But the moment the arrows fell into the river, Guan Yu disappeared from where he stood, and when he reappeared, he was already before the enemy below the city.

"Ah... ah!"

Only screams could be heard continuously.

Guan Yu was able to escape from under the enemy's nose every time.

Cao Hong looked at Guan Yu below the city, his expression turning ugly.

Guan Yu was the third most formidable general under his command, possessing immense strength and high combat awareness; he was a general Cao Hong liked very much.

It was just that he did not expect this person to escape at such a critical moment!

This outcome was something Cao Hong had not anticipated.

"Kill!"

Cao Hong issued the instruction again.

The crossbowmen continued to fire arrows at the enemy troops on the city wall.

Gu Yi, on the city tower, looked at the situation below and smiled.

"Have our soldiers throw stones down and smash them to death," Gu Yi shouted loudly. ===== CHAPTER 1287 =====
