Chapter 1451: A Difficult Victory

"Cao Cao, do you think you can trap me like this?" Gu Yi sneered, his eyes sparkling with unyielding light. Although he was surrounded, his momentum did not decrease at all, as if he didn't take the predicament before him to heart at all.

Hearing this, Cao Cao's mouth hooked into a sneer: "Gu Yi, don't be too confident. Today, I will definitely let you know what true despair is!"

After speaking, Cao Cao waved the long sword in his hand and ordered the soldiers to continue the attack. Suddenly, arrows fell like rain, swords and shadows flashed, and both sides fell into intense fighting again.

Seeing this, Gu Yi was not to be outdone. He waved the long sword in his hand, charging left and right, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, unstoppable. His sword technique was extremely sharp, every sword carrying fatal murderous intent, making Cao Cao's soldiers terrified.

However, although Gu Yi was brave, his soldiers were gradually exhausted. Although they were all elites among elites, they were few in number and lacked experience in battlefield fighting. In contrast, Cao Cao's soldiers fought more and more bravely, as if they didn't know what fatigue was.

"General, what should we do?" A soldier looked at Gu Yi with a face full of anxiety.

Gu Yi pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order down, everyone concentrate their strength and gather toward me. We will break out!"

Hearing this, the soldiers were refreshed. They knew this was their only chance of survival. Thus, they immediately concentrated their strength and gathered toward Gu Yi.

Seeing this, Gu Yi immediately waved his sword and charged forward. His sword technique was like a dragon soaring and a tiger leaping, every sword carrying astonishing power. Under his leadership, the soldiers also fought bravely forward, engaging in a life-and-death struggle with Cao Cao's soldiers.

After intense fighting, Gu Yi finally led the remaining soldiers to break out. Although they suffered heavy casualties, they finally escaped Cao Cao's encirclement.

Seeing this, Cao Cao also frowned. He didn't expect Gu Yi to be able to break out under his heavy encirclement. This made him even more wary of Gu Yi's strength.

"Gu Yi, you are indeed not simple. However, I, Cao Cao, will not easily give up on an enemy. Next time, I will definitely capture you with my own hands!" Cao Cao looked at Gu Yi's retreating back and said coldly.

And Gu Yi led the remaining soldiers to run wildly, and only after staying far away from the battlefield did they finally stop. Looking at the scars on each other's bodies and their tired expressions, they all smiled at each other.

"General, we are still alive!" A soldier shouted excitedly.

Hearing this, Gu Yi also smiled slightly. He knew that although this battle was extremely difficult, they finally survived. This is war, cruel and ruthless. But as long as there is belief and courage, one will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties.

"Alright, everyone rest for a while. After recovering your strength, we will continue moving forward." Gu Yi said, and also sat cross-legged on the ground to recover his strength. He knew that the road ahead was still long and difficult. But they must persist, because only by living can there be hope.

Gu Yi sat on the ground, closing his eyes to rest, but his mind kept replaying the battle scene just now. He knew well that although they successfully broke out this time, Cao Cao's strength could not be underestimated. Next, they must be more cautious to survive in this war.

The soldiers also rested on the spot one after another. Some bandaged their wounds, while others prayed silently, hoping that the journey ahead would be safe. However, the cruelty of war made them know that peace was only temporary, and they could fall into life-and-death fighting again at any time.

"General, what should we do next?" A soldier broke the silence, looking at Gu Yi with a face full of worry.

Gu Yi opened his eyes and said with a firm gaze: "We must find allies and unite with other forces to jointly resist Cao Cao. Only in this way can we achieve victory in this war."

Hearing this, the soldiers nodded one after another to express their agreement. They knew that relying on their own strength alone, it was difficult to contend with Cao Cao. Only by uniting with other forces could they form a powerful force to jointly resist Cao Cao.

Thus, Gu Yi led the soldiers to start looking for allies. They crossed mountains and rivers, traveled thousands of miles, experienced all kinds of hardships, and finally found a force willing to unite with them. Although this force was not large, it had an elite army and a general who was both wise and brave.

Gu Yi and this general hit it off immediately, and the two discussed strategies to resist Cao Cao together. They decided to adopt the tactic of dividing troops and attacking together, with Gu Yi leading a part of the soldiers to attack Cao Cao's grain camp, while this general would lead another part of the soldiers to attack Cao Cao's main force. ===== CHAPTER 1452 =====
