At this moment, Gu Huai led his hundred soldiers out from the rear, carrying a long spear, and charged towards Gu Guai.
When enemies meet, their eyes are filled with hatred. At this moment, Gu Huai's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, brimming with murderous intent.
"You old bastard, today I will tear you to pieces to avenge my dead brother."
Before Gu Huai could finish speaking, the warhorse had already arrived in front of the strange creature.
At this moment, Guai was already in a panic. He knew that he was bound to lose this time. Many families in this area had been wiped out by his Eight-Sided Ambush Formation. He never expected that he would also encounter the Eight-Sided Ambush Formation today. Was this fate?
He knew he had no chance of escape this time, and his ancient sect's influence was completely destroyed.
Knowing he was no match for Gu Huai, Gu Guai turned to run away, but Gu Huai gave him no chance and thrust his spear at him.
Guai Guai had just turned around when Gu Huai's spear arrived, striking him squarely in the back and delivering a fatal blow.
Gu Huaiyi used his strength to knock the strange creature off its horse.
With their commander dead, the strange soldiers laid down their weapons, raised their hands, and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"This battle was so exhilarating!" Gu Huai laughed heartily as he looked at the strange corpses on the ground.
At this moment, Li Guang spurred his horse over, leaving some men to clean up the battlefield, and sent Gu Huai with him to the city of the ancient faction.
Gu Huai was overjoyed, thinking they were going to attack the city. He immediately led his troops with Li Guang toward the city controlled by the ancient faction.
To Gu Huai's surprise, his father, Master Gu, was already standing on the city wall, waiting for them.
The lord of the Gu family captured the city, but Gu Huai was unaware of it, as he was being chased by Gu Guai and desperately trying to escape.
Gu Huai was overjoyed and immediately followed Li Guang into the city.
Master Gu immediately came down from the city tower to greet Li Guang.
He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Li Guang and said:
"General Li is a brilliant strategist. When I led my troops to the city and we had just set up an ambush, I saw Guai leading a large army out of the city. Once we saw them go far away, I prepared to attack the city."
To be honest, this wasn't really a siege. At this point, the drawbridge was lowered, the city gates were wide open, and we went straight into the city.
The city's garrison never dreamed we'd actually entered. It was too late to resist; we captured them all. Most of them were old, weak, or disabled soldiers; dealing with them was a piece of cake.
Li Guang was very excited. He nodded and said, "Master Gu, you've worked hard."
Gu Huai, who was standing to the side, spoke up:
"Father, I have good news for you. The three thousand men that Guai led out all walked into our ambush formation. None of them escaped. Most of them were killed by us, and the rest were taken prisoner."
That old scoundrel was strange; I stabbed him to death with one shot too.
"That's wonderful! With the strange one dead, the ancient sect's power also ceases to exist. We've rid this region of a tyrant, and there will be no more war here from now on," Master Gu said excitedly.
At this moment, Gu Huai suddenly remembered something and said:
"My elder brother was captured and brought here. Has Father found him?"
"Found him. He's been locked up in jail and suffered a lot. He needs to rest for a while to recover."
"As long as my brother is alright, I'll go see him now." Gu Huai said and left.
At this moment, Master Gu looked at Li Guang and said with a smile:
"I have good news for General Li. There is a prisoner-of-war camp here with more than a thousand prisoners. They are soldiers from some families who have been imprisoned and tortured for refusing to submit to the ancient forces."
There were also more than 5,000 slaves who had long served as laborers for the ancient faction and harbored deep hatred for them.
They were very grateful to us for rescuing them. When they learned that it was General Li who led the soldiers of Gujiazhuang to rescue them, most of them expressed their willingness to join General Li's ranks.
In this way, General Li will be able to build an army of at least five thousand men.
This is wonderful! Li Guang never expected that this attack on the ancient faction would actually bring him an army.
With the help of Master Gu, Li Guang started by recruiting slaves and prisoners from the ancient faction to build an army.
Most of these people were young and strong men who were now homeless after their families were wiped out.
They were rescued by the army of Gujiazhuang and were all willing to join Li Guang's army. With the addition of some people recruited by the head of Gujiazhuang in the local area, Li Guang's army suddenly reached more than 6,000 people.
The Gu Family Village's forces had grown to over three thousand men. After the ancient faction was destroyed, the Gu Family Village had no need for these troops, and besides, the Gu Family Village couldn't afford to support them.
After discussion, Master Gu and his family decided to retain only one thousand people, and incorporate all the extra people into Li Guang's army.
In this way, Li Guang had a force of more than 8,000 men, which excited him greatly.
He planned to leave after Di Numa recovered from his injury. This would mean he would have to stay in Gujiazhuang for two more months, which would be a good time to train his troops.
From that day on, Master Gu began to teach Li Guang the Gu family's spear technique.
Li Guang was highly perceptive, and in less than a month, he mastered the Gu family spear technique. To further refine his skills, Li Guang insisted on daily training.
Master Gu was very satisfied with Li Guang. He had diligently practiced the spear technique passed down from his ancestors for many years, which was why he had such superb spear skills. His sons had also practiced spear techniques from a young age, which was why they had reached such a superb level.
That morning, Master Gu found Li Guang and told him something.
The Gu family has a family heirloom that has been kept in the ancestral hall for hundreds of years. Every year, the descendants of the Gu family worship this treasure.
A few days ago, when the Gu family elders were worshipping this treasure, it suddenly started to shine with a silvery light, which greatly surprised the clansmen, who had no idea what was going on.
Later, they found a fortune teller, who calculated with his fingers and told them that this treasure had been silent in the ancestral hall for three hundred years, and had found its new owner and was about to be brought back into the world.
The head of the Gu family immediately thought of Li Guang. After discussion, the clansmen decided that if Li Guang could use the treasure, they would give it to him.
Li Guang was taken aback and, feeling very curious, asked:
"What kind of treasure is this? After being dormant for three hundred years, it can now emit a silver light."
"This is a silver spear, weighing 180 jin. It was a weapon used by the ancestors of the Gu family. Because this silver spear is too heavy, no one in the Gu family has been able to use it for many years, so it has been kept in the ancestral hall."
"Silver Spear".
Li Guang was both surprised and delighted. He had just learned the Gu family spear technique, and the silver spear had already worked its magic. It seemed that this was an arrangement by God.
"Master Gu, could you take me to see this place?"
"Of course, the clansmen are all waiting in the ancestral hall. I'll take you there now."
After finishing his speech, Master Gu led Li Guang toward the ancestral hall.
