~7 min read 1,344 words

He knew the current situation was very unfavorable for him, and he had to do something.

Cao Ren suddenly roared, "Do not block me, I must leave, otherwise we will all be finished!"

After the deputy general heard Cao Ren's words, he was stunned; he had not expected that Cao Ren would actually abandon them. He could not help but cry out in sorrow, "General, have you forgotten your promise? You just said you wanted to help us avenge our grievances, have you forgotten?"

After Cao Ren heard the deputy general's words, his eye sockets moistened, and he muttered, "I have not forgotten, but..."

His voice grew smaller and smaller, and in the end, it disappeared directly, because he had no way to answer the deputy general's question. His tears flowed down his cheeks.

After the deputy general heard Cao Ren's words, he was sluggish; he had not expected that Cao Ren would actually abandon him, abandon them, these loyal subordinates!

Cao Ren's deputy general's eyes were filled with tears, and he wept in a low voice; he had not expected that his own commander-in-chief would actually abandon them, these subordinates, and flee alone; his heart was filled with resentment.

Other subordinates saw Cao Ren flee, and they were all filled with indignation, their eyes filled with anger.

"The General has fled, what should we do? Do we also have to flee? If we flee, are we still men?"

Cao Ren's deputy general said in a low voice; he did not want to flee, he would rather die in battle than flee.

Other Cao Ren subordinates fell silent; that's right, what should they do now? Fight? Or flee? Various thoughts floated in their minds, and they fell into entanglement.

"Hahaha! I say, you bunch of trash, I already said I was going to flee, and you are still standing here stupidly; why don't you hurry up and flee, waiting to be sent to your deaths!"

Gu Yi laughed loudly; this move of Cao Ren's was too stupid, and he really did not know how Cao Ren became a lord.

After others were mocked by Gu Yi, their faces turned red, and they all lowered their heads in shame; Cao Ren had already fled, and they were still staying in place, wasn't that looking for death?

"The General has fled, what are we still fighting for? Hurry up and go!"

Other Cao Ren subordinates cursed one after another, and then threw away their armor and fled, completely ignoring Cao Ren's order.

"Damn things, you cannot flee, you return to me! I order you to return and block them, hurry back!"

Cao Ren roared loudly, his eyes turning blood-red.

But no one turned back; they just fled desperately, fearing that if they were slow, they would be killed by Gu Yi's subordinates.

Cao Ren's subordinates not only fled, they also threw away Cao Ren's corpse, and then fled.

Gu Yi saw Cao Ren being abandoned by his own subordinates, and snorted coldly in his heart, "Cao Ren, don't blame us for being heartless; it was you who betrayed us first; since you wanted to betray us, then you must pay the price."

Gu Yi looked at the sky; the horizon was gradually turning white, and dawn was about to arrive.

Cao Ren's subordinates fled, and they also threw away Cao Ren's corpse; the news of their fleeing soon spread throughout the entire army.

"What did you say? Cao Ren's subordinates fled? Cao Ren actually abandoned us?"

After Cao Hong heard this matter, he said in a fit of anger, "Is Cao Ren crazy? Why did his subordinates abandon him and flee?"

"My lord, it is too late to say anything now; the key now is how we should face Gu Yi's pursuit?" Xia Houyuan frowned and said.

Cao Hong heard this and smiled bitterly, "Gu Yi's subordinates have chased over, let us flee."

Cao Hong said; he had not expected that despite all his precautions, he still had not guarded against Gu Yi's subordinates; this time he lost, and he was convinced of his defeat.

Both of their armies stopped, and then they prepared to flee; their speed was very fast, and they knew very clearly that if they could not delay time as much as possible and wait for reinforcements, they would likely be in dire straits.

Gu Yi and Zhao Zilong happened to catch up, and the two sides engaged in fierce slaughter on this desolate land.

Gu Yi and Zhao Zilong's subordinates discovered that the Cao Army seemed unwilling to engage with them, which made them puzzled.

"General Gu, the enemy soldiers seem unwilling to engage with us; if this is the case, we can easily take them down." Guan Yu proposed, a bright light flickering in his eyes; he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out the Cao Army and seize Yanzhou.

"Let us observe the enemy's situation first. If the enemy army is unwilling to engage with us, then it will not be too late for us to act." After Gu Yi heard this, he thought for a long time and said.

Whether Cao Ren was doing this on purpose, Gu Yi could not be sure, so Gu Yi needed to act cautiously.

After Gu Yi's subordinates heard Gu Yi's order, they all quieted down, and they all carefully observed the Cao Army's reaction.

Cao Ren's subordinates saw Gu Yi and Xia Houyuan's subordinates stop, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief; they quickened their pace and fled toward the distance.

The Cao Army fled, and Gu Yi did not dispatch cavalry to pursue, but instead let the cavalry stand by in place.

After Gu Yi and Zhao Zilong looked at each other for a few moments, they both saw smiles in each other's eyes.

Both of them understood that Cao Ren definitely had not fled far, but was hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to ambush.

Gu Yi and Zhao Zilong were not panicked at all; they continued to lead the unit to pursue Cao Cao's remaining units.

Sure enough, just as Gu Yi and Zhao Zilong guessed, Cao Ren's subordinates saw that Gu Yi and Zhao Zilong's units had not pursued, and immediately turned back to run toward Cao Ren's side, intending to go and rescue Cao Ren.

However, just after Cao Ren's subordinates had run not very far, they suddenly encountered an ambush, and the Cao Army subordinates were wiped out by the Cao Army that had been lying in ambush on the road.

Gu Yi led the unit to continue the pursuit, while Cao Ren's subordinates set traps on the road, attempting to block Gu Yi's unit.

Gu Yi and Zhao Zilong both saw through Cao Ren's tricks; they did not have the slightest fear and continued to charge forward.

In the end, the Cao Army's subordinates were wiped out by Gu Yi, leaving only Cao Ren alive.

Gu Yi led the cavalry to slowly approach Cao Ren, and then they stopped in front of Cao Ren.

"Cao Ren, surrender; you have already been defeated, you have no chance of winning at all; if you surrender, I guarantee I will spare your life." Gu Yi shouted loudly.

"Don't even think about tricking me, I will not surrender." Cao Ren snorted coldly.

Cao Ren was now in a dilemma; his subordinates had been wiped out by Gu Yi, and now, apart from putting up a desperate struggle, he had no other choices.

"Sigh, since that is the case, I have no need to spare your life. You all go up and capture Cao Ren for me!" Gu Yi shook his head and sighed.

Gu Yi issued the attack order, and the cavalry under his command immediately charged toward the Cao Army, instantly surrounding the Cao Army.

The Cao Army had not expected that Gu Yi would use this move, and they were caught off guard and had many killed.

Gu Yi and Zhao Zilong led the unit to continue pursuing the Cao Army.
