Chapter 1565: The Hand Is Too Long

Gu Yi's words were like a warm current, flowing into the heart of every soldier, stirring up the hot blood and passion deep in their hearts. He knew that this was not only an encouragement to the soldiers but also a spur to himself. As the lord, he must keep a clear head at all times, leading this team to move forward constantly.

In the following days, Gu Yi worked with Liu Bei, military physicians, and all the generals and soldiers to not only completely control the epidemic but also draw valuable experience from this crisis. They established a more perfect medical system and strengthened health education for soldiers, ensuring that they could better deal with similar challenges in future journeys.

At the same time, Gu Yi also began to prepare for the next strategic plan. He knew deeply that to gain a foothold in this chaotic world, relying solely on internal stability was not enough; he must also expand outward to enhance his own strength. Therefore, he gathered the think tank in the army to discuss the next combat plan together.

At the meeting, Gu Yi proposed a bold idea: attack a neighboring separatist force to expand his territory and influence. Although this force had decent strength, its internal conflicts had been frequent in recent years, which was the best time to attack.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei immediately expressed his support. He believed that only through constant fighting and conquest could the team be truly exercised and morale improved. At the same time, he also put forward some specific tactical suggestions, such as using terrain advantages for sneak attacks, dividing the enemy internally, etc.

Other generals also expressed their views one after another, and the atmosphere of the meeting was warm and tense. Finally, Gu Yi synthesized everyone's opinions and formulated a detailed combat plan.

In the following days, Gu Yi led the soldiers to carry out tense preparation work. They strengthened training and improved combat power; at the same time, they also dispatched spies to infiltrate the enemy internally to collect intelligence and make preparations for the upcoming battle.

Finally, on a beautiful morning, Gu Yi issued the order to attack. The soldiers surged toward the enemy's territory like a tide, engaging in a fierce battle.

The process of the battle was exceptionally difficult, but Gu Yi and Liu Bei always held their ground at the front, commanding the soldiers to fight bravely. Their heroic behavior inspired the soldiers' fighting spirit, making the battle gradually develop in a favorable direction.

After several days of fierce fighting, Gu Yi finally led the army to break through the enemy's city and achieved victory. They captured a large number of enemy soldiers and supplies, greatly enhancing their own strength.

This victory made Gu Yi and the soldiers feel incomparably excited and proud. They knew that this was only a small victory on their journey, but it was these small victories that converged into the power for them to move forward constantly.

While celebrating the victory, Gu Yi did not forget his care and rewards for the soldiers. He personally awarded medals and bonuses to the soldiers who had made contributions, letting them feel that their efforts had received the returns they deserved.

In addition, Gu Yi also began to integrate the newly occupied territory and resources. He dispatched officials to manage these territories, ensuring that they could stably provide supplies and support for the army. At the same time, he also began to prepare for the next expansion plan, hoping to create a powerful empire of his own in this chaotic world.

Under Gu Yi's wise leadership, the army not only had a qualitative leap in combat power but also carried out innovations in weapons and equipment. He knew deeply that in this chaotic world, relying only on courage and wisdom was not enough; advanced weapons and equipment were also the key to determining victory or defeat. Therefore, he ordered the craftsmen in the army to spare no effort to create a new type of long spear and precious sword, hoping to occupy more advantages on the battlefield.

After receiving the order, the craftsmen began to research and design day and night, striving to create weapons that were both sharp and durable. They carefully selected high-quality iron ore and, after repeated tempering, finally forged the first batch of long spears and precious swords.

These long spears had straight shafts and sharp heads, and the spear bodies were also engraved with exquisite patterns, which were both beautiful and practical. And the precious swords were even more meticulously crafted, with narrow and long bodies, sharp edges, and gemstones inlaid on the hilts, appearing noble and extraordinary. Gu Yi was very satisfied with these weapons; he personally inspected every spear and every sword to ensure that they could exert the greatest power at the most critical moment.

With these new weapons, the soldiers' combat power was greatly improved. They were more handy in training and full of confidence in the upcoming battle.

Not long after, Gu Yi led the army to set out again, targeting a powerful hostile force. This force not only had a huge army but also had solid cities and advanced weapons and equipment. However, Gu Yi did not feel fear because of this; he believed that his soldiers and new weapons would definitely be able to defeat the enemy.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out, and the two armies engaged in a fierce confrontation on the battlefield. Gu Yi's soldiers held long spears and precious swords, fighting bravely and being unstoppable. Their long spears were like a forest, and the sword light flickered; wherever they went, enemies fell one after another.

In this battle, the advantages of the new weapons were fully demonstrated. The spear head of the long spear could easily penetrate the enemy's armor, causing fatal damage; and the precious sword was even sharper, and with one swing, it could cut off the enemy's weapons or even split the enemy directly in half.

Therefore, the two began to discuss the plan of storing food and necessities in detail. They decided to list them first, including various canned goods, dry food, drinking water, medical supplies, etc., then purchase them separately, and agreed on a secret storage location to ensure that they could be taken quickly in an emergency.

Under Gu Yi's heroic command and the soldiers' brave fighting, they finally broke through the enemy's city and achieved victory. This victory not only made Gu Yi's army famous but also made their new weapons a legend on the battlefield.

After the war, Gu Yi expressed his heartfelt thanks to the craftsmen. He knew that this victory was inseparable from their hard work and exquisite skills. At the same time, he also began to prepare for the next expansion plan, hoping to use the advantage of this victory to continue to expand his territory and influence.

In the following days, Gu Yi's army constantly fought in all directions, and their long spears and precious swords became sharp weapons on the battlefield, making the enemy terrified. They captured one city after another, captured a large number of enemy soldiers and supplies, and their strength constantly grew.

However, Gu Yi was not satisfied with this. He knew deeply that in this chaotic world, only by constantly fighting and conquering could he truly gain a foothold. Therefore, he continued to lead the soldiers to carry out arduous training to improve their combat power and team collaboration ability. ===== CHAPTER 1566 =====
