Chapter 1667

Gu Yi personally donned his armor and went into battle, commanding the fight alongside Li Ru. They flexibly mobilized their troops and constantly changed tactics, causing Cao Cao's massive army to fall into a passive position. Although Cao Cao was incomparably brave, under the layers of siege by the Xiliang Army, he gradually felt powerless.

Just at this moment, Gu Yi suddenly discovered Cao Cao's figure. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he raised his spear and charged toward Cao Cao. Seeing this, Cao Cao was not afraid at all and wielded his sword to meet the challenge.

The two fought together, inseparable. Gu Yi's spear technique was sharp, every move pointing directly at Cao Cao's vital points; while Cao Cao's sword technique was skillful, defending flawlessly. The two fought for dozens of rounds, still unable to determine a winner.

However, the situation on the battlefield gradually became favorable to the Xiliang Army. Under Li Ru's command, the Xiliang Army soldiers fought bravely and gradually gained the upper hand. Seeing this, Cao Cao was extremely anxious; he knew that if things continued like this, he feared he would be buried here.

Just at this moment, Gu Yi suddenly used a special technique, the spear tip stabbing toward Cao Cao's chest like lightning. Cao Cao could not dodge in time and was stabbed in the shoulder by the spear, blood immediately staining his battle robe. He let out a painful cry, his figure staggering.

Gu Yi took the opportunity to wield his spear and stab again, but he heard a cry of alarm from behind: "Brother Yi, be careful!" It turned out that Dong Bai had appeared on the battlefield without anyone knowing. Seeing Gu Yi in danger, she rushed up regardless of everything.

Gu Yi was shocked in his heart, quickly retracted his spear, turned around, and protected Dong Bai behind him. Cao Cao took the opportunity to break free from the Xiliang Army's siege and fled back to the camp with his remaining soldiers.

"Bai, why did you come? It's too dangerous here!" Gu Yi looked at Dong Bai with reproach, his tone carrying a bit of severity.

Dong Bai just smiled slightly, her eyes full of concern. "I was worried about you, so I came. Brother Yi, are you alright?"

Gu Yi looked at her, a wave of emotion in his heart. He shook his head gently, "I'm fine, thank you, Bai."

Although this battle failed to capture Cao Cao alive, it also greatly frustrated the morale of the Guandong Coalition. Cao Cao was injured and fled back, causing turmoil within the Guandong Coalition. Meanwhile, the Xiliang Army's morale was greatly boosted, and the soldiers admired Gu Yi even more.

After the battle, Gu Yi and Li Ru gathered again to summarize combat experience and discuss the next combat plan. They knew that although they had achieved a temporary victory, the battle was far from over. The Guandong warlords were still watching covetously, and the Xiliang Army must remain vigilant at all times, preparing to meet more arduous challenges.

"Young Friend Gu, you have made an indelible contribution to this battle." Li Ru looked at Gu Yi, his eyes full of appreciation. "However, the road ahead is still long, and we must be more cautious."

Gu Yi nodded in agreement. "Indeed, in these chaotic times, every step is like walking on thin ice. But as long as we are united as one, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome."

As the war deepened, the contest between the Guandong Coalition and the Xiliang Army became increasingly fierce. Although Cao Cao was injured and fled back, he did not give up because of this; instead, he became more determined to defeat the Xiliang Army. He knew deeply that in these chaotic times, only the strong could survive, and he must become that strong one.

Under Cao Cao's call, the Guandong warlords gathered again, preparing to launch a new round of offensives against the Xiliang Army. This time, they not only mobilized more troops but also carefully planned various tactics, intending to defeat the Xiliang Army in one stroke and seize Chang'an.

Facing the strong counterattack of the Guandong Coalition, Gu Yi and Li Ru did not feel fear. They knew that this battle concerned the life and death of the Xiliang Army and they must go all out. Thus, they began to prepare for the battle in full swing, strengthening defenses, training soldiers, and at the same time continuing to seek alliances with other factions.

"Young Friend Gu, what do you think are our chances of winning this battle?" Li Ru looked at the busy military camp, feeling a bit uneasy in his heart.

Gu Yi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It is hard to predict the chances of winning. But as long as we are united as one and fight with all our might, there is definitely hope for victory. Moreover, I believe that Heaven rewards diligence; since we have put in so much effort, there will definitely be a reward."

Hearing this, Li Ru's eyes flashed with a hint of determination. "You are right; we must never give up easily. In this battle, not only must we win, but we must win beautifully!"

Under the leadership of Gu Yi and Li Ru, the Xiliang Army soldiers were in high spirits and trained even harder. They knew that this battle was not only for the glory of the Xiliang Army but also for their own survival. Therefore, everyone put in twelve percent of their energy, preparing to meet the upcoming great battle.

However, just as the great battle was on the verge of breaking out, a sudden piece of news broke the silence of the battlefield. It turned out that an important warlord within the Guandong Coalition had suddenly died of illness, causing the Guandong Coalition to fall into turmoil again.

After learning this news, a hint of cunning flashed in Gu Yi's eyes. "It seems that Heaven is helping me. We must make good use of this opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the Guandong Coalition." ===== CHAPTER 1668 =====
