Chapter 1296: Uninterrupted questioning

"Yes! My lord, if our enemy is somewhere else, how can we find them?"

"Yes! My lord, where exactly is our enemy hiding?"

Cao Cao's generals kept asking.

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, then said: "Let's search carefully in the surroundings first. If the enemy is somewhere else, they will surely show themselves!"

"Yes!" many generals shouted in unison.

Cao Cao dispatched several small units to patrol the surroundings, but they gained nothing.

"General, let's rest first!" a general suggested.

"No rush! Let's wait a bit longer!" Cao Cao insisted.

"But, General, you must also take care of your health!"

"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded.

Cao Cao's army rested in the mountains, while Zhao Yun's army was resting in the valley.

Cao Cao's soldiers did not rest for long before leaving the valley and running toward the city.

"General, scouts reported that a large number of enemies are killing their way toward this side. We must prepare early!" a general reported to Zhao Yun.

"Oh? A large number of enemies?" A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yun's mouth, and he ordered: "You take the troops back first, I'll go take a look!"

"Yes!"

Subsequently, Zhao Yun rode his warhorse and charged toward the front rapidly.

Zhao Yun's speed was fast, and before long, he arrived at the source of the incident.

When Zhao Yun saw the scene before him, his eyes widened.

The scene before him made Zhao Yun feel very shocked, because there were many corpses in front of them, and most of these corpses were their soldiers.

"Damn it! What is going on?" Zhao Yun shouted angrily, his heart also shocked.

"General!"

"General, this should be the ambush circle of those alien people."

"They deliberately attracted us here and then took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack!"

Soon, Zhao Yun reported everything he had learned to Gu Yi, and Gu Yi also frowned, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

"General, what should we do next?" Zhang Liao asked.

"According to the plan, send someone to guard the city gate first to prevent the enemy from launching a sneak attack on our army. The rest of the troops, follow me to find the enemy's tracks!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Zhao Yun's army was divided into two groups, pursuing toward the north and south respectively.

Zhao Yun's army pursued toward the north, and at this time, Zhao Yun's army was already less than five hundred li away from Nanyang County.

At this time, Zhao Yun had already received news from the front line and learned of the enemy's deployment.

"My lord, ahead is the county seat of Nanyang County. Should we bypass it?"

"No!"

"Since they want to play guerrilla warfare, we will play along with them."

"Pass the order down: have all soldiers be prepared, as they may encounter the enemy at any time!"

"Yes!"

Just when Zhao Yun's soldiers were prepared, they did not know what kind of danger they were about to face.

Gu Yi was also thinking, his mind continuously pondering.

The enemy's goal was very clear: to kill him and then seize the entire world. Now they only needed to guard this county seat.

While Gu Yi was thinking, he had already begun to deploy his troops; this offensive was even more fierce than the last!

Gu Yi deployed an army of one hundred thousand in Nanyang County, including nearly a thousand archers and fifty thousand cavalry.

Such a massive troop strength could completely withstand the attack of Cao Cao's army.

Gu Yi had already mobilized the troops under his command.

"General, Cao Cao's army is now less than twenty li away from us!" a scout reported to Gu Yi.

"Oh? With such a short distance, Cao Cao's army is about to arrive?" Gu Yi said, knitting his brows.

"General, I don't know how we should block them?" a scout asked Gu Yi.

Gu Yi pondered for a moment and then asked the scout: "Scout, do you have any strategies that can make the enemy army not dare to approach here easily?"

"Reporting to the General, we have a strategy!" the scout said.

"Oh? What strategy? Speak quickly!"

"General, you might as well let us set a fire here to force the enemy into the city," the scout said.
