Chapter 939 Running East, Running West
The worst part was that the constant coming and going in and out of the city created complete chaos, with no clear direction. Those who had been keeping a close watch on Gu Fan lost track of the main force after discovering changes in Gu Fan’s movements and couldn’t figure out where the main force had gone.
In other words, under Gu Fan’s leadership, the enemy’s pace was completely disrupted. The advance trackers lost contact with the main troop, and that was exactly what Gu Fan had intended.
But even though he had the enemy running in circles for the time being, his situation hadn’t changed at all. As long as Gu Fan remained in the city, he would eventually be caught by the enemy.
The enemy began to think of a solution, realizing they could no longer be led around by the nose by Gu Fan. Confident that they had figured out Gu Fan’s patterns, they stationed many people at all four gates, ready to swarm and capture Gu Fan the moment he was spotted.
Gu Fan had anticipated that the enemy would make such a move, so after several ins and outs of the city, he changed strategy again. After exiting from the south gate, he headed straight south.
Those eagerly following Gu Fan saw that he was truly running away and became desperate. They didn’t have enough manpower; if they followed him, who would notify the approaching main force? If they didn’t follow, they would really lose Gu Fan.
After much deliberation, the person in charge of tracking sent someone back to inform the main force, leaving only two people to continue the pursuit of Gu Fan and Mo Yun.
So, the messenger hurriedly turned around and rushed into the city. Since he came from the south, he reached the south gate and informed the people there about Gu Fan’s movements.
"What, that kid isn’t coming into the city this time, he’s really running?" The group panicked, immediately gave chase, and sent people to notify those at the other gates to move out.
