Chapter 449: Siege turned into a counter-encirclement

"Prime Minister, not far off in the northwest direction, a fleet is rapidly sailing toward us!"

Just as Gu Yi stepped out of the warship, he heard the urgent report from the messenger.

"The northwest direction?"

"Heh, it seems they have finally come after all."

A cold glint flashed in Gu Yi's eyes.

He had prepared this grand drama for so long, fearing only that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu would not dare to come to Niuzhu.

And now that they had arrived.

It meant that everything was about to reach its end.

Soon.

The generals under Gu Yi's command also stepped out from their respective warships.

Upon hearing the news that the enemy was rushing toward them from the northwest.

Gan Ning and Gao Shun were both furious.

They immediately requested to lead the Brocade Sail Thieves and the Camp-Crushing Battalion to intercept the enemy.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yi rejected their request.

"Xingba, Boping, a good blade must be used on the cutting edge."

"If you two take troops to intercept Sun Bofu now, what if you scare him away?"

Although the combat strength of the Sun Family Army under Sun Ce was not weak.

But the Brocade Sail Thieves and the Camp-Crushing Battalion, who were now skilled in naval warfare.

Especially the Brocade Sail Thieves, even if they hadn't reached the peak of contemporary naval forces, were likely not far off.

In Gu Yi's plan, the Brocade Sail Thieves were meant to be the elite force that would jump out last to reap the harvest.

For the initial naval battle, it was sufficient to let ordinary troops deal with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

Moreover, the enemy Sun Ce had to face today was not just the ninety thousand troops under Gu Yi!

Therefore.

Gu Yi ordered the three generals Pang De, Zhang He, and Zhang Ren to each lead five thousand infantry to change direction and intercept Sun Ce's fleet.

As the saying goes.

If you're going to act, you must play the full part.

If he didn't send troops to intercept Sun Ce, it wouldn't be good if Zhou Yu saw through the ruse.

……

Northwest direction.

Seeing Gu Yi send a fleet to intercept them, both Sun Ce and Zhou Yu wore happy smiles on their faces.

If Gu Yi hadn't sent troops, it would prove that Gu Yi was well-prepared, or that there was a trap.

But now.

Since Gu Yi had already made the move to send ships to intercept them.

It precisely indicated that he had fallen into a desperate situation with no other options!

At least, in the eyes of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, that was how it appeared.

At this moment.

Sun Ce stood at the bow of the ship.

His face was full of high spirits.

He even began to tease Zhou Yu.

He looked at Zhou Yu and laughed: ===== CHAPTER 450 =====
