Chapter 1371: I cannot drag you down anymore

"Today, I must die here; I cannot drag you down anymore!" Looking at Zhao Yun, Gu Yi said with sorrow.

"Zhao Yun, go quickly, I do not want to implicate you!" Gu Yi shouted loudly, his gaze fixed on Cao Cao.

"Gu Yi, you do not need to say anymore; today, I, Zhao Yun, will protect you no matter what!" Zhao Yun shouted loudly to Gu Yi.

"Haha! Truly foolish to the extreme; just relying on you, you want to block my path? What a joke!" Looking at Zhao Yun, Cao Cao said with a sneer.

"Today, you will definitely die!" Gu Yi shouted loudly at Cao Cao, the knife in his hand already swinging toward Cao Cao.

"Kill, kill all of them!" Seeing this, Cao Cao also shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

Cao Cao's subordinates shouted one after another, the long spears in their hands thrusting toward Gu Yi's army.

Looking at the other party, Gu Yi still had no expression of fear on his face, because he knew that he and Zhao Yun were destined to perish together.

Gu Yi gripped the precious sword in his hand tightly and shouted loudly, "Brothers, today, even if we die at the hands of Cao Cao, you have no regrets!"

Gu Yi shouted loudly to everyone, tears shimmering in his eyes.

"Gu Yi, I, Zhao Yun, have met a brother like you in this life; that is enough. Today, even if I die, I will drag you along to accompany me in death!" Looking at Gu Yi, Zhao Yun said excitedly.

"Zhao Yun, rest assured, today I will not let you die in vain!" After Gu Yi finished speaking to Zhao Yun, he charged toward Cao Cao.

"Gu Yi, do not waste your effort!" Cao Cao said with disdain.

Subsequently, the weapon in his hand thrust toward Gu Yi's chest.

Gu Yi gripped the precious sword in his hand tightly, his eyes firm and resolute. He raised the sword without hesitation and ordered loudly, "Brothers, listen to my command! We cannot just wait for death like this; for freedom and justice, for the people we cherish, for our beliefs and honor, let us counterattack Cao Cao's army and fight for our lives!"

His voice resounded across the battlefield like thunder, like a banner reaching the sky, inspiring Gu Yi's army. Trusting and loyal to Gu Yi, the soldiers swung their weapons and bravely met Cao Cao's army.

Gu Yi demonstrated outstanding command ability; he instantly set up a perfect formation, organizing his army tightly to form an indestructible wall of bronze and iron.

He led the army to charge and break through the enemy lines like a gale, instantly tearing apart the defense line of Cao Cao's army. Gu Yi personally charged at the front; his sword danced like a gale, every swing carrying destructive power, and the enemy could not block his fierce offensive at all.

Gu Yi's bravery and decisiveness infected the entire army; the soldiers charged toward the enemy regardless of their own safety, swinging their weapons and letting out thunderous shouts, suppressing Cao Cao's army until they retreated step by step.

Under Gu Yi's command, the army's offensive surged like a wild tide, and Cao Cao's army was defeated and scattered, falling into chaos. Gu Yi's army demonstrated unimaginable combat power and unity; they were fearless, fought bravely, and continuously expanded the scale of their victory.

Cao Cao looked at the scene before him in astonishment; he could not believe that his army would suffer such heavy losses under Gu Yi's leadership. He began to feel fear and despair, and his confidence was completely destroyed.

Gu Yi led his army to pursue Cao Cao, invincible all the way, with no one able to stop them.

However, Cao Cao was not afraid at all; after all, he was also a veteran of many battles and was not so easily defeated.

Cao Cao led his army to continue retreating, while Gu Yi led his army to pursue. The two sides constantly crossed and fought.

Cao Cao was also very anxious in his heart, but he was unwilling to be defeated by Gu Yi like this; he had to think of a way, otherwise, this plan would be ruined.

"My lord, what should we do?" The deputy general beside Cao Cao looked at Cao Cao and asked anxiously.

"No! We must think of a way, otherwise, this plan will fail completely, and we will never be able to turn things around, becoming sinners in the mouths of others!" Looking at the deputy general, Cao Cao furrowed his brows and said.

"My lord, why don't we just retreat first and wait for an opportunity?" The deputy general suggested.

"Hmph, if we retreat like this, wouldn't I, Cao Cao, become a laughingstock of the world?" Cao Cao sneered, his tone filled with unwillingness.

"Then what other way do we have?" Looking at Cao Cao, the deputy general asked in confusion.

"Hmph, this Gu Yi actually has such ability; this plan must not fail!" Cao Cao said, gritting his teeth.

"But this plan is too risky!" The deputy general said with worry.

"Hmph, so what if it is risky? As long as we succeed, I, Cao Cao, can enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future!" Cao Cao said.

The deputy general sighed helplessly. Although he had followed Cao Cao for some time, his thinking was still limited to the power in Cao Cao's hands; he did not understand Cao Cao's ambition, nor did he understand strategy and wisdom.

"Good, since my lord has such grand ambitions, then this subordinate is willing to serve you!" Looking at Cao Cao, the deputy general bowed and said.

"Hmm, very good; I knew you were worthy of being the deputy general who has followed me for many years; you have a good eye!" Hearing the deputy general's words, Cao Cao showed a joyful smile and praised him.

Subsequently, he looked at the deputy general and ordered, "Go and pass the order immediately: let our entire army retreat into the mountains!"

"Understood!" The deputy general responded.

Cao Cao actually had no bottom in his heart; he did not know if Gu Yi would stop there, after all, Gu Yi's subordinates had an army of tens of thousands; if Gu Yi went crazy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, he also had his own ideas.

If Gu Yi dared to enter the mountain forest, he would immediately send out a large number of cavalry to surround the forest and then kill all of Gu Yi's men to vent the hatred in his heart!

When he told his subordinates the news, everyone felt a sigh of relief; they did not want their army to be slaughtered by Gu Yi's army.

"My lord, now, are we retreating or?" The deputy general walked to Cao Cao's side and asked.

Hearing this, a hesitant expression appeared on Cao Cao's face.

"Retreat?" Cao Cao thought for a moment and shook his head, saying: "If we retreat like this, Gu Yi's army will definitely continue to pursue us..." ===== CHAPTER 1372 =====
