Chapter 314 Gao Yao was seriously injured, and the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was defeated!
Just as both sides stopped their movements briefly and took deep breaths to recover their strength, Gao Yao's fierce and fierce eyes suddenly froze as if they were fixed. He stared at the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan opposite him in astonishment, his eyes widening as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.
Under Gao Yao's gaze, the wound on Yi Xiaochuan's body that was originally injured by him healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The muscles and skin at the wound seemed to have the magical ability to repair themselves. They quickly grew and connected together, and in the blink of an eye, they were as good as new, without even a scar left. Such an amazing healing speed, even someone with a powerful system like Gao Yao had never seen it, let alone possessing such a supernatural ability.
"How is this possible?" Gao Yao couldn't help but mutter to himself, his voice full of shock and disbelief. He couldn't understand what was happening before his eyes, and an inexplicable fear began to surge in his heart.
At this time, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan seemed to be unconcerned about Gao Yao's surprised reaction. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a cold smile, and said coldly: "Gao Yao, you only want to regret it now, but it's a pity that it's too late, die!" Before he finished speaking, he once again held the spear and stabbed at Gao Yao like a gust of wind.
Facing the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's aggressive attack, Gao Yao was a little distracted for a moment. At this moment, Yi Xiaochuan's words about immortality suddenly flashed through his mind. This sentence hit Gao Yao's already very firm heart like a heavy hammer, causing a crack in his originally flawless state of mind.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding..." The crisp sound of metal collisions continued, interweaving densely like a storm. The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan would not give Gao Yao too much time to hesitate. He looked stern, and the spear in his hand stabbed at Gao Yao again like a dragon out of the sea. This shot was extremely fast, with a sharp sound and powerful momentum.
After a brief moment of distraction, Gao Yao finally came to his senses and counterattacked at the fastest speed. However, due to his affected mentality, Gao Yao's counterattack power was significantly weakened. Although his moves were still skillful, they lacked some of their previous ferocity and courage.
In this fierce battle, Gao Yao was repeatedly in danger due to his unbalanced mentality. The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan did not miss this rare opportunity and launched round after round of fierce attacks. His gun skills were like a storm, leaving Gao Yao overwhelmed. Every time he fired a gun, it was accurately aimed at Gao Yao's vital parts, leaving Gao Yao exhausted with defense.
Although Gao Yao tried his best to defend, he still showed a flaw under such a fierce attack. The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan keenly captured the opportunity at this moment, and without hesitation, he swung the gun in his hand and smashed it hard into Gao Yao's chest.
There was only a loud dull sound - "bang!" Gao Yao's chest was hit hard, as if hit by a sledgehammer.
Then, a sharp pain came over him, and he couldn't help but open his mouth, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out. The bright red blood splashed in the air, forming a shocking blood mist.
Gao Yao, who was hit in the chest, suddenly felt his vision go dark, his body lost balance, and was about to fall. Just when he was about to fall off the horse, relying on his strong physical fitness and tenacious willpower, Gao Yao quickly thrust the big knife in his hand to the ground at the critical moment.
The sharp broadsword pierced deeply into the soil, making a "hiss" sound, successfully supporting Gao Yao's body that was about to fall. At this moment, Gao Yao's face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and held the handle of the knife tightly, refusing to give up easily.
At the same time, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, who had already gained the upper hand, would not miss such a rare opportunity. He fixed his eyes, held the spear firmly with both hands, and thrust it towards Gao Yao's throat without hesitation. This attack was as swift as thunder, as if it was intended to kill Gao Yao, and it was obvious that he wanted to kill him in one fell swoop.
And something unexpected happened! At the critical moment, Gao Yao quickly raised his arm, and at the same time, several crossbow arrows shot out from his heavy armor like lightning, rushing straight towards the face of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan.
Even the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was caught off guard by this sudden change. As the two sides were too close, Yi Xiaochuan had very little time to react. Although he tried his best to raise his hand to block it, he was still a step too slow.
There was only a muffled sound of "Puff...", followed by Yi Xiaochuan's painful scream: "Ah..."
Although he tried his best to block two of the crossbow arrows, the third crossbow arrow still hit his left eye accurately. The intense pain came instantly, and Yi Xiaochuan couldn't help but tremble, and the whole person almost fell off the horse. Blood flowed down his cheek, staining half of his face red, looking very scary.
Gao Yao's condition was also not optimistic. The sharp arrow pierced his shoulder deeply, and the piercing pain instantly spread throughout his body, making his already injured body even worse. At this moment, Gao Yao had no time to care about other things. He had only one thought in his mind - to rush back to the city as soon as possible. He endured the severe pain and waved the whip vigorously. The horse under his crotch rushed towards the city like an arrow from a bow.
On the other side, Yi Xiaochuan saw Gao Yao fleeing with injuries, and naturally he was unwilling to give up, so he immediately rode his horse to chase him. But who knew that this sudden sneak attack would be so deadly! He had never expected that Gao Yao actually had such a killer move hidden.
Blood gushed out of his face, and one of his eyes was covered in blood, blurring his vision and almost blinding him. Faced with such a tragic situation, he could not even keep his balance, let alone continue to chase the enemy. Helplessly, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan had to give up the pursuit, turned his horse around, and slowly retreated to his own camp.
It can be said that after this fierce battle, neither side gained much. Not only were both the two commanders seriously injured, but their injuries were also quite serious. Gao Yao was undoubtedly more seriously injured, but for the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, one of his eyes was shot blind. If it were an ordinary person, this kind of damage would be irreversible and would inevitably have a great impact on the subsequent battles. So basically, it can be said that neither side gained much advantage, and it was definitely a situation where both sides suffered losses.
Whether it is the Southern Border Army or the Imperial Army, their morale has not been well boosted at this moment. In fact, from the perspective of the situation, Gao Yao is in a more unfavorable situation. In the Imperial Army, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan is the commander-in-chief and leads the three armies. Although his position is very important, there are still generals like Li Xin who can take charge of the overall situation.
However, for the entire Southern Territory, Gao Yao is the undisputed backbone. If Gao Yao were to fall, the entire Southern Territory army would be in disarray and vulnerable to attack. This difference in influence is a world of difference.
Even if the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was injured in the battle and could no longer lead the army, there was still an experienced veteran like Li Xin in the army who could take over his command, so the court did not need to worry too much about it. But if Gao Yao fell at this moment, it would undoubtedly put a huge pressure on Xia County. Standing in the back and watching the battle, Li Xin was shocked and astonished to see that the battle had developed to such a tragic level.
After careful consideration, Li Xin immediately ordered the troops to retreat. At this moment, he did not choose to pursue the victory and continue the attack. Because he knew that it was not a wise move to attack again at this juncture, and it would not bring any benefits to both sides. After all, at this time, he was not sure that he could capture Xia County in one fell swoop, so he should act more steadily and properly. Therefore, Li Xin decided to reorganize the army first, and then plan another offensive strategy after making full preparations.
At this time, Gao Yao, who had returned to the city, fell off his horse the moment the city gate closed. Fortunately, Erniu had been prepared and dismounted immediately to use his body as a cushion for Gao Yao.
"Quick, quick, call the doctor, call the doctor!"
Erniu immediately started to call out loudly, and of course there was already a doctor waiting in the city. Gao Yao was quickly taken to the back by the doctor for treatment.
This is also because Gao Yao has always had a complete backup system and medical effects. Although Gao Yao was seriously injured, his consciousness was still relatively clear. The more critical point is that Gao Yao himself is the best doctor. After being sent to the county government, Gao Yao forced himself to stay alert and immediately ordered people to prepare medicine according to his prescription. At the same time, he gave his simple acupuncture.
First, the remaining blood stasis in the body is forced out through acupuncture, and then the herbs for strengthening the body and replenishing the essence are taken. The herbs used by Gao Yao are basically real wild herbs from the past few years, at least ten years old.
This medical skill made Gao Yao, although still in a very weak state, not look tired. Instead, he still sat upright in the main hall. Gao Yao did this to stabilize the morale of the troops. However, if he went into battle again, he would probably be lucky to have only 20% of his strength.
Gao Yao had to admit that he made a big mistake in this battle. He originally thought that he was not as good as Long Ju and would definitely have the advantage, but he did not expect to make the same mistake as Long Ju, and underestimated the enemy. Fortunately, this battle was not completely without gain. Gao Yao finally began to understand all the things about Yi Xiaochuan, Beiyan Shanren, Cui Wenzi, etc.
