Chapter 1602

"Wait?" Zhao Yun's brow was full of worry. "But if we keep waiting, once the enemy launches an attack, we will not only lose our grain and supplies but may also fall into a passive position. General Gu, we cannot just sit and wait for death!"

Gu Yi pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping across the city walls before finally settling on the continuous mountain ranges in the distance, as if he had already made a plan. "General Zhao, what you say is true; we cannot defend passively. But rushing out directly is undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock. We need to win through strategy."

"Win through strategy?" Zhao Yun looked at Gu Yi in confusion, waiting for him to continue.

"Look," Gu Yi said, pointing at the soldiers fleeing in panic. "The enemy thinks we have already lost our formation; this is the opportunity we can exploit. We will have the majority of the soldiers continue to pretend to flee, attracting the enemy's attention, while you lead an elite squad to circle around from the back mountain, quietly approaching the enemy's ambush point, striving to eliminate those ambushing enemies without a sound while protecting the safety of the grain and supplies."

Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, and he nodded. "This plan is excellent! However, General Gu, the pressure on you to defend the city will also increase; are you sure there is no problem?"

Gu Yi smiled slightly and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder. "Rest assured, I have my own arrangements. Remember, the action must be fast, accurate, and ruthless; you must complete the mission before the enemy reacts."

"Understood!" Zhao Yun cupped his hands in a salute, then turned to select elite soldiers, preparing to execute this arduous mission.
