I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 270 - 4: Should I First Avoid His Edge?

The Shanyue people possessed exceptionally strong physical qualities.

In the original history,

The elite Dan Yang Army under Sun Quan was almost entirely composed of Shanyue people.

However, what is different now from the original history is,

In the original history, Sun Quan paid a huge price to deal with the Shanyue, costing a lot of manpower and time, and in the end, he merely managed to establish a half-control, half-cooperative relationship with the Shanyue.

But what Gu Chen intends to do now is completely different.

He aims to fully control the Shanyue, completely restricting the development space of the Shanyue.

Moreover, Gu Chen also has time constraints.

He doesn’t know how long he can live, so he never considered spending too much time solving this matter!

This already signifies a fundamental difference!

Zu Kang moved extremely quickly.

The Shanyue people, having lived for generations in the Tianmu Mountain Range, were already as familiar as the back of their hand with the geographical features of the entire mountain range.

He personally led the elite forces,

Traversing mountains, intending to launch a direct decapitation strike against Gu Chen.

...

It was night.

Stars were hidden, and the night was deep and solemn.

"Report!!!"

A voice filled with urgency broke the silence of the Han Army’s camp.

"Report to Lord Gu, the enemy forces are attacking!"

Upon hearing this report, the expressions of all the officers and soldiers present changed involuntarily.

A surprise attack?

Although it was hard to believe that anyone would dare flaunt their skills in front of Gu Chen, the commanders immediately advised Gu Chen to retreat temporarily.

"Lord Gu, our main forces have not yet fully arrived. I am willing to stay behind, but please, Lord Gu, retreat to the central camp immediately."

"I am also willing to stay behind!!!"

"Please, Lord Gu, avoid the brunt of the enemy’s attack temporarily. We are willing to cover for you!"

"..."

There was not a trace of fear on the faces of the commanders, but there was much concern for Gu Chen.

Currently, the Han Army was deep in a narrow passage.

The main forces were unable to fully arrive due to the terrain. Now that the enemy has shifted from defense to offense, how could they not worry about Gu Chen’s safety?

But Gu Chen’s expression remained calm throughout.

He looked at the commanders, and when they all finished speaking, he calmly replied, "Should I avoid his sharp edge first?"

His tone was very light,

Yet it did not lessen the pressure he exerted in the slightest.

For a moment, all the commanders were taken aback.

Gu Chen smiled faintly, then leisurely rose, his eyes once more flashing with a sharp fighting spirit, and without any unnecessary words, he solemnly said:

"Bring me my spear!!!"

How could he not know that the Shanyue would definitely launch a last-ditch counterattack?

The habits of the Shanyue people, including the surrounding topography,

Gu Chen had already thoroughly investigated them.

He personally led the vanguard to this narrow point, deliberately showing a weakness to Zu Kang.

In truth, Gu Chen had long stationed his troops adept at mountaineering and hiding, securing all the valley exits.

As long as Zu Kang took the bait and attacked, he would surely not return.

No one willingly allows themselves to be slowly eroded.

Zu Kang would definitely choose to fight desperately before the conclusion was firmly established.

——This was Gu Chen’s judgement of human nature!

The commanders were completely stunned; they were completely unaware of this matter.

In their eyes, the main forces were still behind.

They were unaware of Gu Chen’s arrangements and instinctively worried about Gu Chen.

After all, Gu Chen’s age was well known.

But looking at Gu Chen’s expression, they dared not say more.

On the contrary, following Gu Chen’s example, the bloodlust within them was entirely ignited.

As the guards brought Gu Chen his armor and silver spear,

The commanders had no fear; they all knelt before Gu Chen and shouted angrily in unison, "We are willing to fight to the death with Lord Gu, unwavering till the end!!!"

"We are willing to fight to the death with Lord Gu, unwavering till the end!!!"

"We are willing to fight to the death with Lord Gu, unwavering till the end!!!"

"....."

The echoing shouts resounded across the heavens and earth.

Gu Chen grasped the familiar spear, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, as a smile appeared on his face.

"Death?"

He shook his head slightly, slowly stood up, walked outside the tent, and listened to the sound of battle outside, looking up at the sky: "Who can take me, Gu Chen, but the heavens?"

——This is the confidence of the Gu Clan descendants!

Although Gu Chen was steady,

The invincible spirit in his heart had not disappeared.

That was a heroic ambition that looked down upon the heroes of the world!!!

A great battle erupted instantly!

Although the Han Army now seemed to be in the minority, they were in fact made up of fighters skilled in fierce battle.

Even when faced with a surprise attack,

The morale of these people never wavered.

The name Gu Chen indeed gave countless people unparalleled confidence.

Especially after seeing Gu Chen himself in armor,

This effect was even more pronounced.

With Lord Gu here, how could we possibly lose?

Being on the battlefield with Lord Gu, even if we die, what of it?

Lord Gu will take care of their families.

Even if they die, they will bring supreme honor to their families!

The impact of this unwavering belief is unimaginable to others!

Clang!!!

Clang!!!

Clang!!!

The sound of weapons clashing rang around.

Loud shouts of killing pierced through the silent night, startling countless birds in the forest.

Zu Kang was completely dumbfounded.

He could hardly imagine that in such a situation of a surprise attack, the Han Army could still burst out with such combat power.

The will of the Han Army seemed even more resolute than theirs after a blood ritual.

How could he understand?

The blood ritual to the ancestors and mountain gods did indeed strengthen their faith,

But the faith of the Han Army was present in this world!

And they were on this battlefield, leading them in the charge!

Fires flared up.

This was not a fire set by the Shanyue Army, but one set by Gu Chen’s men.

In the tranquil night,

This served as the most visible signal for the Han Army lurking in all directions.

Clearly, Gu Chen intended to use this battle to completely resolve the Shanyue conflict.
