Chapter 81

But there were still more than fifty thousand people left.

Besides this.

Before Niu Fu left, the remaining soldiers in his hands were also handed over to Li Jue and Guo Si.

Adding Niu Fu’s more than twenty thousand remaining soldiers.

The troops directly controlled by Li Jue and Guo Si now numbered more than seventy thousand!

Gu Yi, as reinforcements, only brought fifty thousand troops.

If he didn't rely on the more than seventy thousand troops of Li Jue and Guo Si, it was basically impossible for Gu Yi to win this battle.

"A-Duo, you are still smart!"

"Since that’s the case, let’s let this kid Gu Yi feel what it’s like to have 'military orders not issued'!"

Li Jue and Guo Si looked at each other and smiled.

The like-mindedness of many years made the two reach a consensus instantly.

Under Chencang City.

Gu Yi led the reinforcements and arrived here.

However, the Chencang city gates were firmly closed.

The soldiers on the city tower were wearing armor and holding weapons, waiting for the battle.

There were even many soldiers who made the posture of drawing bows and arrows.

It seemed that as long as the people under the city moved closer, there would be a rain of arrows from the city tower immediately!

"Hehe, Li Jue and Guo Si are tripping me up."

Seeing this scene, how could Gu Yi not guess the thoughts of Li Jue and Guo Si?

To put it plainly, these two were extremely dissatisfied with Gu Yi, the "air-dropped leader."

And wanted to use this method to make Gu Yi embarrassed.

However.

It was a pity.

They had the wrong idea.

If it were someone else who encountered such a situation, they might compromise and silently accept the show of force from Li Jue and Guo Si.

But who was Gu Yi?

How could there be any reason for him to be wronged in this world?

The next moment.

Gu Yi ordered the three thousand new troops behind him to come forward.

And took one thousand of the divine arm bows that had been built recently.

Afterward, he ordered Huang Zhong to stand at the very front of the team.

(PS: The second half of the previous chapter missed writing Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong was also in the expedition team this time.)

As a sharpshooter, Huang Zhong’s ability to shoot through a willow leaf at a hundred paces was not just a name.

At such a distance, he could still shoot an arrow onto the city tower!

And among the three thousand new troops.

There were one thousand archers trained by Huang Zhong.

The remaining two thousand were Mo Dao soldiers and Trapping Battalion soldiers.

At this moment, although the archery skills of the one thousand archers could not be called exquisite for the time being.

But with the blessing of the divine arm bows, the range was still stretched a lot.

At least, it was much more powerful than those archers on the Chencang city tower!

On the city tower.

Li Jue and Guo Si had been hiding behind the defenders.

Seeing Gu Yi order the archers to come forward without a word, both of them were stunned!

This was not the script they imagined!

However, since they had already put on this show of force today, it was naturally impossible to stop just like that.

Guo Si said to Li Jue in a deep voice:

"Brother Zhiran, don't worry."

"Based on the position of Gu Yi and his soldiers, it is impossible to shoot arrows onto the city tower."

Li Jue listened, and it was indeed the case.

This Gu Yi was probably just bluffing at the moment.

However.

Before Guo Si’s words fell.

A sharp arrow shot straight at him like a strong wind!

"Bang!"

The arrow shot onto the city tower beside Guo Si.

The shooter was Huang Zhong.

This arrow was a warning to Guo Si.

"Plop!"

Guo Si was sweating coldly, his legs were weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Just a moment ago.

A thick sense of death rushed toward him!

As a martial artist, Guo Si could feel that the arrow was deliberately shot off-target.

If it hadn't been shot off-target, I am afraid he would have been a dead man by now!

"A... A-Duo..."

"Are you okay?"

Li Jue was also scared quite a bit.

The place where he was standing just now was very close to Guo Si.

Although the target of that arrow was Guo Si.

But what if it accidentally injured him?

Then would his "wise life" of Li Jue end in such a stifling way?

Guo Si was still in shock.

He pretended to be calm and looked under the city tower.

The sharpshooter standing at the very front of the team was drawing his bow and arrow again.

As if in the next moment, another sharper arrow would break through the air!

"Zhi... Brother Zhiran, o... open the city gate."

"That Gu Yi is not someone we can easily provoke."

"Although I don't know what method he used to make the arrows shoot onto the city tower from such a long distance."

"But if we continue like this, I am afraid Gu Yi will really let those archers under the city open fire."

Guo Si chickened out.

The arrow Huang Zhong shot just now really made him feel the threat of death.

At this moment, Guo Si didn't know the reality of the archers under the city.

If these archers all had the same sharpshooting skills as Huang Zhong.

Then... I am afraid he and Li Jue would be doomed today.

Therefore, Guo Si didn't dare to gamble.

He admitted that Gu Yi was more ruthless.

"A-Duo, do we really have to open the city gate?"

"Then how should we face Gu Yi?"

Li Jue was somewhat unwilling.

In the original assumption of him and Guo Si.

The current plot should be Gu Yi compromising.

In order to enter the city as soon as possible.

Begging them to open the city gate!

And after opening the city gate, Li Jue and Guo Si didn't intend to end this show of force just like that.

They also planned to plan a small-scale military mutiny.

To make the prestige of Gu Yi, the "air-dropped commander," suffer a significant impact.

But now.

This show of force at the city gate had already had a huge problem.

Gu Yi didn't buy their act at all.

And used a more violent way to solve this so-called show of force.

"Zhiran, this Gu Yi is a ruthless person."

"Let’s cancel those plans you and I originally had for now."

"Otherwise, I am afraid this Gu Yi will really do some extreme things!"

Guo Si’s forehead was still constantly sweating coldly.

Sure enough.

People who could be favored by old Dong, except for the pit-maker Niu Fu, were all ruthless people!

Can't afford to provoke, can't afford to provoke!

Afterward, under the orders of Li Jue and Guo Si.

The Chencang city gate slowly opened.

But Gu Yi did not order his archers to put away their weapons.

Hua Xiong and Zhang Ji, who were standing beside Gu Yi, also looked extremely gloomy.

Why did Gu Yi just order the archers to draw their bows and arrows?

Because an hour ago.

Hua Xiong and Zhang Ji had already sent scouts to Chencang City.

To inform Li Jue and Guo Si of Gu Yi’s upcoming arrival.

In other words, Li Jue and Guo Si already knew about it in advance.

But they still ordered the defenders on the city tower to put on a look of resisting enemy invasion.

This was clearly giving Gu Yi a show of force!

Consequently, Hua Xiong and Zhang Ji, who were also of the Xiliang inner circle, felt extremely embarrassed.

Li Jue and Guo Si’s behavior was completely not giving them face!

Therefore, it would be strange if Hua Xiong and Zhang Ji’s faces could look good at this moment!

"Hahahaha, I don't know that Linzhi came from afar, it’s really a loss to welcome you, please forgive me."

Li Jue and Guo Si walked out of Chencang City side by side.

However, perhaps because they were afraid of being shot by Huang Zhong, or perhaps they were full of fear for Gu Yi.

The speed at which the two walked out was not fast.

In front of them, they also arranged several shield soldiers to hold large shields for protection.

For a time.

The atmosphere was extremely subtle.

"Hehe, Li Zhiran, Guo A-Duo, do you two still know how to come out?"

"Didn't we send scouts in advance to inform you of the news of arriving in Chencang?"

"Why still put on a look of facing a great enemy?"

Hua Xiong was angry.

He stood out and exposed the hypocritical faces of Li Jue and Guo Si.

"Uh, this is a long story."

"We didn't see the scouts you sent."

"Instead, there was intelligence saying that Han Sui might organize an army to besiege Chencang again recently."

Guo Si lied with his eyes open and made it up.

Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe this nonsense, let alone Hua Xiong and Zhang Ji.

However, in the surprised eyes of everyone, Gu Yi smiled slightly:

"Good, good."

"General Li and General Guo are worthy of being the two good generals the Chancellor relies on!"

"Facing the enemy, they can be fearless."

"And calmly arrange defenses."

"Ordinary people can't compare!"

Listening to Gu Yi’s praise.

Li Jue and Guo Si felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't find the problem for a while.

Afterward, only Gu Yi spoke again:

"With the two generals guarding this Chencang, I am naturally at ease."

"Since that’s the case, I will lead the army back to Chang'an and report the brilliance and martial arts of the two generals to the Chancellor!"

"I think the Chancellor will reward the two generals heavily when he hears about this!"

"Don't talk about the Four Towns Generals and Four Conquest Generals."

"Even if it’s the General of the Cavalry and General of the Chariots, in my opinion, the two’s achievements are enough!"

"Bang!"

Like a giant hammer falling from the sky.

Li Jue and Guo Si were completely stunned!

Gu Yi didn't care about the front line anymore and just quit?

And wanted to go back and report this to old Dong truthfully?

This... this...

This is the front line!

How can you just leave?

If Gu Yi really wanted to leave, Gu Yi himself would certainly not be punished.

But Li Jue and Guo Si...

Even if their official positions were not stripped to the bottom, they would most likely be stripped of their military power.

And then be caught by old Dong and beaten up, letting them feel what is called "education of love."

Thinking of this, Li Jue and Guo Si panicked instantly and said hurriedly:

"Linzhi, we were also afraid that the defense would make a mistake and be drilled by Han Sui, so we made such a decision."

"Now that you are here, we should naturally hand over the command to you."

"You must not leave!"

Speaking of this, the voices of Li Jue and Guo Si were even mixed with begging.

They really couldn't imagine.

If they just let Gu Yi go back like this.

What kind of end they would face!

Old Dong is protective of his own.

But most of the time he still considers the overall situation.

Like the behavior of Li Jue and Guo Si today.

To put it mildly, it’s called violating military discipline.

To put it seriously, it’s called having rebellious intentions and treating old Dong’s orders as deaf ears!

Even if old Dong spoiled them on weekdays, he would definitely make a very serious punishment this time.

At the very least, it would be stripping their military power!

Therefore.
