Chapter 1362

"Yes!" Cao Cao's personal guards, hearing his order, nodded in agreement one after another.

Cao Cao's personal guards immediately drew their long spears from behind and thrust them toward Gu Yi's soldiers.

"Kill!" Seeing Cao Cao's personal guards thrusting toward his own soldiers, Gu Yi's men also swung their weapons in anger and began to engage in a bloody battle with Cao Cao's guards.

Soon, the soldiers of both sides clashed together.

The soldiers of both sides fought, with blades flashing and blood splattering.

"Kill!"

Seeing this, Gu Yi's soldiers shouted one after another, their faces filled with intense fighting spirit.

Cao Cao's personal guards had originally numbered only a few hundred, but now they possessed over a thousand men; their strength was formidable, and they were well-trained, showing absolutely no fear—they were afraid of nothing.

"General, our soldiers have already suffered several hundred casualties!" that personal guard said to Cao Cao.

"It does not matter!" Cao Cao shook his head and then said, "Continue to reinforce the other brothers!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, the personal guard immediately led the remaining few hundred men and joined the battle.

Gu Yi's soldiers and Cao Cao's soldiers fought, and soon, their morale was completely shattered.

Gu Yi's soldiers were originally only temporarily conscripted and had not experienced much real combat; furthermore, this was Gu Yi's first time encountering Cao Cao's army, and his soldiers were also facing Cao Cao's army for the first time.

Although Gu Yi's soldiers were brave and skilled in battle, they could not withstand the frantic offensive of those soldiers. In less than half a stick of incense, dozens of soldiers were slaughtered, and the remaining soldiers were even more terrified.

Seeing this, Cao Cao's army no longer lingered in the fight and retreated one after another.

Seeing Cao Cao's soldiers leave, Gu Yi's soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and then quickly retreated as well.

Seeing Gu Yi's soldiers withdraw, Cao Cao also breathed a sigh of relief and immediately dispatched his subordinate general to lead soldiers toward Gu Yi's encampment.

"General, Cao Cao's soldiers have already retreated."

"General, those soldiers have been scared out of their wits and dare not fight us head-on!"

"General, what do we do now?"

"General, shall we pursue the victory?"

"No need." Gu Yi shook his head and said, "Let us rest first!"

"General, now is not the time to rest!" Gu Yi's soldier said, "If we wait for Cao Cao's soldiers to react, they will definitely launch a full-scale attack!"

"General, we must be prepared!"

"General, we cannot give up!"

Hearing this, Gu Yi's expression changed.

Gu Yi knew that now was not the time to consider such things, but rather to seize this opportunity to quickly retake the city.

"General, now is not the time for personal feelings!"

"We must seize this opportunity; otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Hmm." Gu Yi took a deep breath and said, "Go and prepare now!"

Gu Yi led his soldiers and quickly charged toward Cao Cao's camp.

"General, Cao Cao's soldiers have already retreated!"

Inside Cao Cao's tent.

"Hmm." Cao Cao nodded and asked, "Where did they retreat to?"

"General, they fled toward Gu Yi's encampment."

"What?" Hearing the report from his subordinate, Cao Cao's expression sank instantly, and he said, "Pursue them immediately!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, Cao Cao led several thousand soldiers and quickly pursued toward Gu Yi's camp.

"General, what do we do now?" the personal guard asked Gu Yi.

Hearing his question, Gu Yi's brows furrowed slightly.

Now that Cao Cao's main army had retreated, if his soldiers wanted to retake the city, they had to find a way to lure them out.

"General, what do we do now?" someone else asked.

Hearing his inquiry, Gu Yi said, "You all disperse immediately and surround those of Cao Cao's soldiers!"

"Yes!" Hearing Gu Yi's order, everyone dispersed toward the surroundings and surrounded the nearby soldiers of Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao's soldiers left, Gu Yi's soldiers immediately dispersed and surrounded those of Cao Cao's soldiers respectively.

Seeing this, Cao Cao's soldiers stopped in their tracks and met Gu Yi's soldiers head-on.

Seeing Cao Cao's soldiers coming toward them, Gu Yi's soldiers also raised their weapons and quickly charged toward Cao Cao's soldiers.

Both sides soon began to fight.

Although Gu Yi's soldiers were fewer in number, each one was the elite of the elite, and they had quite a few archers.

The two sides fought to a stalemate, but Cao Cao's soldiers had the advantage in numbers, and although Gu Yi's soldiers were brave and skilled, they lacked experience in battlefield slaughter; regardless, they were at a disadvantage.

"General, what do we do now?"

"General, how much longer can we hold out?"

Hearing his subordinate's inquiry, Gu Yi fell into deep thought. ===== CHAPTER 1363 =====
