Chapter 379: Trapped in a deadlock, astonishing level of force!

Chapter 379: Trapped in a deadlock, astonishing level of force!

"What are you hesitating about? Didn't you hear what this general just said?" Seeing that the Northern Army under his command showed a hint of hesitation and desperation, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, who was standing on a high place commanding the battle, suddenly became angry and full of dissatisfaction.

"Major General, look over there, our brothers are fighting bloody battles with the enemy. If we order them to shoot arrows at this time, they will be injured by mistake..." At this moment, a soldier who was responsible for delivering the order mustered up the courage and gritted his teeth to advise Yi Xiaochuan. Before he finished speaking, he was met with the cold gaze of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan.

"Humph! Anyone who dares to disobey my military order will be punished by military law!" The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan didn't want to explain anything at all, and did not hesitate to bring up military discipline to pressure others. His face was gloomy and his tone was firm, which made people shudder.

"Yes..." Seeing this, the messenger knew that it was useless to say more, so he could only nod and agree helplessly, then turned around and left in a hurry, honestly conveying Yi Xiaochuan's military order to other soldiers.

As the messenger passed down the order, the Southern Border Army, which had been hesitant at first, began to move. In an instant, countless sharp arrows rose into the air like locusts, covering the sky and the sun and rushing towards the direction where Gao Yao was. Only a burst of dense bowstring sounds were heard, followed by screams one after another.

It turned out that Gao Yao and his men were under siege. Since the Northern Army was much larger than the Southern Army, the battle was suppressed from the beginning. Now, with the sudden rain of arrows, the Northern Army suffered heavy casualties and was in mourning.

Even Gao Yao himself was accidentally hit by a stray arrow in the chaos of the battle, but fortunately the wound was not too deep and the injury was not serious. However, many of his men were not so lucky, and many of them died on the spot. The scene was horrible.

At this moment, Gao Yao stared at the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan with wide eyes and astonishment. He never expected that this man would be so crazy! In this situation where the enemy and us were mixed and the slightest mistake would accidentally injure his own soldiers, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan actually ordered the arrows to be shot without hesitation. Such an attack action, even if it could successfully injure a southern border soldier, would at least cause two or three northern border soldiers to be injured or even killed. But the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan seemed to completely ignore these consequences and resolutely let the archers shoot. He would rather sacrifice his own people than kill Gao Yao.

As this round of shooting ended, the number of Gao Yao's personal soldiers decreased dramatically, leaving only about 30 people. However, it must be admitted that this sudden attack also dealt a huge blow to the Northern Border Army. After all, no one had ever thought that many of them did not fall under the swords and guns of the Southern Border Army, but were killed by their own arrows.

"Hmph! What a shameless person you are! You are simply a complete villain! No matter how long you live, you cannot hide your despicable nature!" Gao Yao's eyes were wide open, staring at the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan in the distance, and the sarcastic words came out of his mouth like a machine gun, without showing any mercy to the other party.

At this moment, Yi Xiaochuan's face suddenly turned ugly after hearing this reprimand, but this change was fleeting. He quickly adjusted his mood and gave the order expressionlessly: "Keep shooting! Don't stop!"

Facing the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's desperate attack like a storm, Gao Yao knew at this moment that there was no room for hesitation. A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he rushed forward suddenly, not retreating but advancing, and rushed straight towards the direction where the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was.

At the same time, Gao Yao shouted: "Soldiers, follow me and charge!" The sound exploded in the air like thunder, making people's eardrums hurt.

The soldiers behind him who had followed him for a long time responded in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill!" For a moment, shouts of killing rose and fell, resounding through the sky.

Although Gao Yao's men were few in number, less than fifty at most, when they charged towards the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, their momentum was no less than that of a large army of hundreds of men. Every soldier tightly grasped his weapon, his face twisted and ferocious, as if he had put life and death aside.

At this time, Gao Yao knew very well that if he chose to break out in other directions, he would only encounter more and more Northern Border troops. And if he wanted to fight his way out, he had to break through the encirclement led by the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, and only then could he find a glimmer of hope. So, he gritted his teeth and swung the long sword in his hand vigorously.

As Gao Yao swung the long sword in his hand up and down, each swing of the sword brought up a string of blood, and the soldiers of the Northern Border Army who were close to him fell down screaming. However, despite Gao Yao's bravery, the short distance of less than 150 steps between him and the enemy seemed like an insurmountable gap.

Every ten steps forward were full of difficulties and obstacles for Gao Yao. On the one hand, the soldiers of the Northern Border Army rushed in like a tide, desperately blocking Gao Yao's steps forward; on the other hand, dense arrows rained down from the sky from time to time, making Gao Yao unable to defend himself.

But in just a few moments, Gao Yao's body was covered with wounds of various sizes, dozens of them at least. Some of these wounds were so deep that the bones could be seen, and blood kept flowing out, but even so, Gao Yao not only had no intention of retreating, but fought more bravely, like a god of war descending to earth.

Since being ambushed till now, Gao Yao has killed nearly a hundred enemy soldiers by himself. Such an amazing record is extremely rare even among those famous generals in history. You know, in a melee of tens of thousands of people, a general who can personally fight and kill the enemy and take hundreds of heads is a rare existence.

The reason why Gao Yao was able to perform so bravely in this brutal battle, in addition to his own extraordinary martial arts and fearless courage, was also closely related to the armor he wore. This armor was made of fine steel given to him by the system, and it was extremely strong. Unless the arrow happened to hit a few vital parts such as the face, it would be difficult for attacks from other places to cause penetrating damage to it. It was precisely because of this indestructible armor that Gao Yao could charge left and right in the enemy's formation as if he was in an empty space. At most, it was just a scratch.

Even so, when Gao Yao rushed like a tiger and was less than a hundred steps away from the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, suddenly, a sharp and piercing neighing sound broke through the sky! It turned out that the majestic warhorse under his crotch had been hit by dozens of cold arrows at some point!

These sharp arrows were deeply embedded in the body of the warhorse, as if they were the hands of a ruthless devil, tightly grasping it. Although this horse was a top-notch horse, at this moment, facing such a dense and deadly attack, it could no longer hold on. With a loud "bang", the warhorse fell to the ground, and Gao Yao, who was riding on it, was thrown out fiercely.

The reason for this tragic situation was not that Gao Yao was exhausted, but that the poor warhorse had already suffered too much pain. Its body was full of dense arrows, and blood was gushing out, mixing with the enemy's blood, making it difficult to distinguish which was the enemy's and which was the warhorse's.

At this moment, Gao Yao struggled to get up from the ground, looking at the heartbreaking scene in front of him, his eyes could not help but reveal a trace of pain. This warhorse has been with him for more than just one or two years. For a long time, they have experienced countless life and death tests together, and have already established a deep emotional bond.

On the battlefield, the relationship between horses and humans often goes beyond ordinary companionship. Not only do they know how to recognize their masters, but they can also fight bravely for their masters. Over the years, Gao Yao has treated his warhorse like a close friend, taking good care of it and showing great love and care. Now, watching it fall in a pool of blood and die, this pain is no less than losing a very important friend to Gao Yao.

In ancient times, those brave and fearless generals regarded fine horses and magic weapons as the treasures of their lives. Sometimes, in their eyes, these things were even more precious than women. Because an excellent war horse can accompany its master to charge into battle, kill the enemy and make meritorious service; an extremely sharp weapon can help it remain invincible among thousands of troops. Therefore, when Gao Yao witnessed his beloved war horse die on the battlefield, the grief and loss in his heart can be imagined. These are important partners related to his own life, how could he not value them?

Gao Yao tightly grasped the gleaming Chixiao Sword in his hand, his eyes were cold and resolute, staring at the Northern Border Army that was rushing towards him like a surging tide. Facing so many enemies, Gao Yao did not feel the slightest fear in his heart, but was instead aroused with endless killing intent and fighting spirit.

He flashed and rushed into the enemy camp like an arrow from a bow. The Chixiao Sword in his hand turned into a sharp light, and every time he swung it, a string of blood was splashed. His movements were extremely swift, like a ferocious tiger that would eat anyone it wanted. He rushed left and right in the crowd, and the enemy fell down wherever he went.

Not far away, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was quietly watching the fierce battle in front of him. When he saw Gao Yao was surrounded but still brave and fearless, his eyes could not help but reveal a hint of excitement that was difficult to conceal. After careful planning and layout, he finally succeeded in forcing Gao Yao into this desperate situation. Now it seems that even if Gao Yao has the ability to reach the sky and penetrate the earth, he will definitely not be able to escape today and will definitely die! Thinking of this, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile.
