I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 316 - 18: Seven Assaults and Seven Withdrawals, A Century of Fear

Chapter 316: Chapter 18: Seven Assaults and Seven Withdrawals, A Century of Fear

Gu Yi is not someone who hesitates.

Once he officially decides on something, he carries it out immediately.

This is the experience he learned from Gu Xi, Gu Chen, and others.

When it comes to warfare;

Hesitation only wastes many opportunities.

The current Great Han is not the Western Jin in history that was consumed to death by internal chaos, plus years of preparation, he has no need to worry so much.

The Barbarians have indeed learned from experience and are not just ordinary foes.

But Gu Yi has experienced such a long period of development.

How could the sword in his hand not be sharp?

Gu Yi will not waste any opportunity, launching an attack when the enemy hasn’t fully recovered.

He personally led the central army in a frontal assault on Bailang Mountain.

While the other three routes also had leaders.

As for the most elite Wen Yang—

Gu Yi designated him as the fifth army, without a fixed strategy.

He only gave Wen Yang one order.

To charge at will.

The purpose was to perfectly utilize Wen Yang’s unmatched bravery.

The men under his command were specially trained.

They adapted to the Northern Border environment and had a thorough understanding of its terrain.

The topographic maps Gu Chen mapped during his campaign in the Northern Border were still with the Gu Clan.

In just a few decades.

The terrain of the Northern Border couldn’t possibly have undergone large-scale changes, which was why Gu Yi initially trained them.

With these men—

Wen Yang’s greatest strengths can be fully realized.

The Northern Border was in turmoil.

Gu Yi’s actions were so fast that they didn’t give them any time to react.

The name of the Gu Clan combined with Wen Yang’s ferocity as a human weapon.

Already made these people feel somewhat uneasy.

This sudden large-scale attack caught them even more off guard.

But Murong Mei was no fool.

Reaching today was proof enough of his abilities.

Faced with the actions of the Han Army.

The moment he received the news, he roughly figured out the intentions of the Han Army and immediately devised a strategy.

—Retreat!

That’s right, retreat!

The Han Army was currently too strong, after all, the soldiers of the Great Han were pent up with energy, especially now that Gu Ye had arrived.

This provided an unimaginable boost to the morale of the Han Army soldiers.

And morale is something that naturally diminishes over time.

Murong Mei intended to wait until the Han Army’s strength waned.

Then launch a decisive battle.

In the era of cold weapons, this strategy was indeed correct.

Morale can indeed boost combat power.

Jcompared to the Han Army, these Barbarians were naturally skilled in raiding and had no worries about being caught by the Han Army.

But they underestimated Gu Yi.

Gu Yi remained calm, even when he learned of the enemy’s retreat, he continued to advance steadily.

Such an obvious tactic, how could Gu Yi not see through it?

He did not want to waste the Han Army’s energy on chasing the enemy.

Since they wanted to retreat—

Gu Yi allowed them to retreat!

If he couldn’t kill, he would seize their land, continuously compressing their living space.

As for pursuing the enemy, he left that entirely to Wen Yang.

He only told Wen Yang one thing.

"Unleash your full power, hunt down the enemy!"

For someone like Wen Yang, there was no need to devise a strategy, just let him do what he does best!

The entire Northern Border was in upheaval!

The men under Wen Yang, who had undergone years of training, had attained a level of mastery in raiding and pursuit.

Murong Mei could not have anticipated.

That there would actually be a general choosing to leave the main army to pursue alone!

He instinctively thought this was an opportunity.

If they could capture or kill a Han general, it would not only strike at the Han Army’s morale but also boost their confidence!

Under these circumstances.

Murong Mei started an encirclement against Wen Yang!

Intent on using his numerical advantage to capture Wen Yang before the Han Army reinforcement could arrive!

This battle was destined to be earth-shattering.

Murong Mei led tens of thousands of troops to encircle Wen Yang in the Bailang Mountain terrain!

In their eyes, this battle was without suspense.

The troops under Wen Yang were fewer than ten thousand.

How could they withstand tens of thousands in an encirclement?

But they underestimated Wen Yang.

Faced with the army coming for his head, Wen Yang showed not the slightest hint of fear, instead, his rage was entirely ignited!

The hatred of a slain father is irreconcilable!

Though Wen Yang’s character was not suited for command.

This did not mean he was merely a reckless warrior; his ability to judge situations was not inferior! 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

It was just that his bravery overshadowed these qualities!

"Brothers, kill the enemy with me!"

With Wen Yang’s roar, the cries of battle echoed instantly throughout Bailang Mountain.

"Kill!!!"

"Kill!!!"

"Kill!!!"

What is elite?

Facing the enemy’s overwhelming might, they still remain unafraid in peril.

This is the true elite.

The soldiers under him had worked with him for many years, whether in mutual trust or cooperation, they had reached their peak!

They were not the slightest bit afraid!

Wen Yang wasted no words, wielding the Breaking Captives Spear with immense force, he launched an immediate assault.

This was the spear technique Gu Chen left behind!

There were not many people Wen Yang admired.

And Gu Chen was among the greatest!

According to Wen Yang, not being able to spar with Gu Chen was his greatest regret in life!
