Chapter 1630: Utilizing the Advantage of Terrain

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if reaching some tacit understanding. Subsequently, they began to chat about family matters, talking about their respective families and their longing for the future.

Under Zhao Yun's leadership, the army quickly recovered its vitality. The soldiers were well-trained and high in morale; the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and social order was orderly. All of this was inseparable from Zhao Yun's hard work and selfless dedication.

However, the peaceful days did not last long. Not long after, an urgent report came from the border that an enemy force was quietly massing, preparing to launch an attack on the border.

After receiving the news, Zhao Yun immediately summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures. He knew well that this time the enemy was coming aggressively and must make full preparations to respond.

"Gentlemen, the enemy is attacking again, we must go all out." Zhao Yun said with a firm expression, "This time, we must take the initiative to strike and catch them off guard."

Hearing this, the generals expressed their agreement one after another. They knew Zhao Yun's wisdom and courage and were full of confidence in him.

In the days that followed, Zhao Yun led the soldiers to carry out intense combat preparations. They strengthened the patrol intensity of the border defense and at the same time sent scouts deep into the enemy's hinterland to inquire about the enemy's movements.

Finally, on a beautiful day, Zhao Yun received news from the scouts: the enemy had already set out and was rushing toward the border.

Zhao Yun immediately ordered the whole army to be ready for battle, preparing to meet the enemy. He knew well that this battle concerned not only the safety of the country but also the life and death of every soldier and person.

The horn of battle sounded once more, and Zhao Yun took the lead, leading the elite troops to meet the enemy. They crossed mountains and forests, crossed rivers, and finally met the enemy on the border line.

Seeing the army led by Zhao Yun, the enemy could not help but reveal a terrified expression. They knew well Zhao Yun's fame and knew this battle was not easy.

However, Zhao Yun did not give them any chance to catch their breath. He gave an order, and the soldiers charged toward the enemy like tigers descending from the mountains. The sounds of battle and the clashing of blades instantly rang through the heavens.

Zhao Yun took the lead, his long spear pointing, and no one could stop him. His figure shuttled on the battlefield, every strike precise and fatal. Under his leadership, the enemy retreated one after another, with countless deaths and injuries.

However, the enemy was numerous and their combat effectiveness was not bad. Relying on their numerical advantage, they attempted to surround Zhao Yun's troops.

Zhao Yun calmly observed the battlefield situation and quickly made a judgment in his heart. He knew well that if surrounded by the enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Must break out!" Zhao Yun muttered in his heart. He shouted loudly: "Everyone follow me, break out of the encirclement!"

Hearing this, the soldiers cheered up one after another, following Zhao Yun to charge. Relying on their excellent combat effectiveness and tacit cooperation, they finally broke through the enemy's encirclement.

However, the battle did not end there. The enemy still pursued relentlessly, attempting to completely eliminate Zhao Yun's troops.

Zhao Yun knew well that this could not go on. He had to find a favorable terrain and use the terrain advantage to repel the enemy.

The mountain forest terrain was complex, with dense trees, which was undoubtedly an excellent combat environment for Zhao Yun, who was good at hiding and surprise attacks. He quickly planned a circuitous retreat route in his mind, which could both avoid the enemy's edge and use the natural obstacles in the mountain forest to counterattack.

"Follow me!" Zhao Yun gave an order and was the first to leap into the mountain forest. The soldiers followed closely; they were familiar with the road and shuttled through the forest, quickly leaving the enemy behind.

In the mountain forest, the light was dim, but Zhao Yun was like a hunting leopard, knowing the environment here like the back of his hand. He used trees and rocks as cover, occasionally sending small teams to harass and ambush the enemy, making the enemy exhausted.

"General, at this rate, we will soon be able to shake off the enemy." A soldier said excitedly.

Zhao Yun shook his head, his expression still solemn: "No, we cannot just run away. We must find an opportunity to deal the enemy a fatal blow and make them completely lose the courage to pursue."

Hearing this, the soldiers nodded in agreement one after another. They knew Zhao Yun's wisdom and courage and believed he would certainly be able to lead them out of the predicament.

Under Zhao Yun's leadership, the soldiers continued to move forward in the mountain forest. They sometimes ran fast, sometimes lurked and waited, always maintaining a high degree of vigilance.

Finally, at a narrow valley, Zhao Yun found the opportunity he dreamed of. The terrain here was perilous, with high mountains standing on both sides, and only a narrow path in the middle for passage. And the enemy, in order to pursue them, had to advance along this narrow path.

"This is it!" A cold light flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes, "Prepare for battle!"

The soldiers quickly made preparations; they used the rocks and trees on both sides of the valley as cover, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Not long after, the enemy entered the valley. Although they were cautious, limited by the terrain, they could only advance in a single line. This made them an excellent target for Zhao Yun's troops.

"Shoot arrows!" Zhao Yun gave an order, and arrows flew toward the enemy like raindrops. The enemy was caught off guard, and many were hit by arrows, falling into a pool of blood.

However, the enemy did not retreat because of this. They quickly organized a counterattack, attempting to break through Zhao Yun's defensive line.

Zhao Yun sneered; he had long anticipated the enemy's reaction. He led an elite squad and quietly bypassed to the enemy's rear from one side of the valley, launching a surprise attack.

The enemy was caught between two fires and immediately fell into chaos. They attempted to adjust their formation, but limited by the terrain, they could not effectively respond to Zhao Yun's attack.

"Kill!" Zhao Yun gave a roar, his long spear like a dragon, aiming directly at the enemy general. Although the general was brave, under Zhao Yun's fierce attack, he was quickly defeated.

With the death of the enemy general, the enemy completely lost the will to resist. They surrendered one after another, kneeling and begging for mercy.

Looking at the enemy before him, Zhao Yun felt no pity in his heart. He knew well that although these enemy soldiers were pitiful, they were also the creators of war and the murderers of countless innocent people.

"Capture them all and take them back to the camp." Zhao Yun ordered.

The soldiers acted quickly, capturing all the enemy soldiers, and then escorted them back to the camp.

Although this battle was difficult, Zhao Yun and his troops finally achieved victory. They not only successfully shook off the enemy's pursuit but also captured a large number of enemy soldiers, accumulating valuable experience for the next battle.

After returning to the camp, Zhao Yun immediately reported the battle situation to the main commander. The main commander praised Zhao Yun's courage and wisdom, calling him a pillar of the country. ===== CHAPTER 1631 =====
