The two spurred their horses forward and clashed once more.
Gu Huaili's spear was powerful and heavy, and his marksmanship was unpredictable. Qin Gu was clearly no match for him.
The two sides fought for more than ten rounds, and Qin Gu's helmet was knocked off by Gu Huai with a single spear thrust.
Qin Gu was greatly alarmed, turned his horse around, and was defeated.
Gu Huai was about to give chase when he suddenly remembered Li Guang's words, so he reined in his horse and did not pursue.
As Qin Gu fled, he swung his broadsword in the air, and the entire force of the ancient sect was routed, fleeing frantically in all directions.
Seeing his opportunity, Li Guang immediately waved the colorful flag in his hand.
Upon seeing Li Guang issue the order to break the formation, the flag signalmen on the high platform immediately waved their colorful flags to relay the message.
Prior to this, Li Guang had already dispatched four squads, and had six more squads on standby.
Upon receiving the signal to break the formation, the commander of the fifth squad led his soldiers like an arrow released from a bow, charging into the ancient faction's great formation.
The ancient faction's generals were positioned behind the main formation, while the Gu family village had only deployed a hundred-strong force to charge into the formation, which they could clearly see.
"How come only this few men rushed in? Didn't they have more than a thousand men?"
The fact that this small force had broken into their formation put them in a very difficult position. Activating the formation for such a small force would expose the various ambushes within, which is a major taboo in military strategy.
Thus, the commanders of the ancient faction could only watch helplessly as this group of people charged into the formation, and dared not activate it.
The group charged into the formation, heading directly towards the right rear of the main formation.
There were ambush troops on the right rear of the eight-sided ambush formation, but their numbers were small, and it would not be easy to wipe out this hundred-man team.
After charging in, the team did not linger in the battle and quickly fought their way out. Once the ambush inside was rearranged, the team returned.
And so, this group of men went in and out three times, scattering the rear right flank of the formation.
The commanders of the ancient faction were completely dumbfounded; they had never seen this kind of fighting style before.
Just then, the flag signalman continued to relay Li Guang's orders, and another team charged into the formation. They went straight to the left side of the formation and attacked in the same way, three times in and three times out.
Then two more squads rushed out from the front left and front right sides of the formation. With these four squads rushing out one after another, the ambush formation immediately fell into chaos.
Although the ambush formation had multiple ambushes, none of them dared to actually launch an attack.
The commanders of the ancient faction knew they had encountered a master today, and it was too late to activate the formation. The four squads were positioned in four different locations within the formation, and they had already gained the initiative.
Just then, the flag signalers gave another signal, and the last two squads charged into the formation. This time, their method of attack was different from the previous four squads; they went straight for the rear of the formation.
All the commanders of the ancient faction were gathered here. When they saw two more teams attacking them, they quickly retreated.
As a result, the entire formation lost control and immediately descended into chaos.
Upon seeing this, Li Guang immediately commanded the remaining soldiers to charge forward.
These soldiers numbered four or five hundred, all elites from Gujiazhuang. They had been holding back for a long time, and when Li Guang finally gave the order, they launched a full-scale attack.
The moment of revenge has finally arrived. The soldiers of Gujiazhuang are determined to wipe away their shame, and everyone is bloodthirsty.
When Gu Huai charged into the enemy ranks, he encountered Qin Gu. The two fought fiercely, and in less than ten rounds, Gu Huai knocked Qin Gu off his horse with a single spear thrust.
Gu Huai fought with increasing ferocity, and in no time, he had killed several of the ancient faction's generals.
The soldiers of the ancient faction had never seen such a formation before, and having lost all will to fight, they began to flee.
Li Guang issued an order to pursue the enemy across the entire front and kill all the invading enemies.
At this point, the ancient faction had less than a thousand men left, and they were already in complete disarray, desperately fleeing.
The soldiers of Gujiazhuang pursued them relentlessly, and the remnants of the ancient faction had nowhere to escape, constantly being killed by the pursuers.
The generals of the ancient faction were truly pathetic today, experiencing such a crushing defeat for the first time, and were being hunted down like this. If they encountered an ambush ahead, their entire army would surely be wiped out.
Suddenly, the general saw a fork in the road. He could also return by taking this road, although it would be difficult to travel and might avoid an ambush.
When the soldiers of Gujiazhuang saw that the remnants of the ancient faction had entered this side road, they made a show of pursuing them for a while before retreating.
Having finally shaken off their pursuers, the generals of the ancient faction breathed a sigh of relief.
The general quickly concluded that the reason for the defeat was that Gujiazhuang must have invited a master.
This person was familiar with his own tactics and understood his psychology, which led to his defeat in this battle.
It seems that the formation was both the key to their success and their downfall. This time, there was no need to set up an ambush formation on all eight sides when attacking Gu Family Village.
If we had been strong enough, we could have easily taken over Gu Family Village by launching a direct attack. Now it's too late.
After returning this time, we must reorganize our troops and launch another attack, taking down Gujiazhuang in one fell swoop.
As he was thinking about these things, a gong suddenly sounded, and a group of people rushed out from the hillside. Because the area was overgrown with weeds, he had no idea how many people were coming.
By this time, the soldiers of the ancient faction were already like frightened birds. They did not expect there to be an ambush here. They abandoned their armor and fled in panic.
Li Guang had instructed them that the remnants of the defeated army still possessed considerable fighting power, and that they should avoid direct confrontation and focus on seizing supplies.
The soldiers chased after the defeated remnants, and those who were slow to run were all cut down.
After a chase, the squad leader felt it was enough, so he stopped the pursuit and began cleaning up the battlefield.
The remnants of the ancient forces abandoned a considerable amount of supplies, which were urgently needed by the Gu family village.
They fled frantically, not daring to stop for a long time, before finally stopping, only to be blocked by a large river.
They looked around; the place was deserted and there wasn't even a bridge. How were they going to get across?
They walked along the riverbank, and one of the soldiers, with sharp eyesight, spotted a boat not far away.
"General, there's a boat ahead."
"Haha, thank God! Let's quickly board the boat and cross the river."
All the soldiers rushed forward and began to seize the ferry.
The general quickly came to the side of the boat and found that it was not very big, and could only carry a dozen or twenty people at a time.
There are three or four hundred people around me, and it will take at least a dozen or twenty trips to get them across.
But his soldiers were already in chaos. The small boats, which were originally meant to carry only 10 or 20 people, suddenly had 50 or 60 people on board. With so many people on the boats, it was easy for them to capsize when they reached the middle of the river.
He then ordered some people to disembark, but by then, panic had already set in, and no one was willing to leave.
The general immediately flew into a rage. Someone dared to disobey his orders, so he drew his sword, intending to kill the man.
Just then, a shout came from the shore, and a group of people appeared and charged towards them.
They never dreamed that there would be an ambush here, and they were immediately shocked.
