Chapter 382 The Black Armored Army appears and reverses the situation!

With the sound of horse hooves resounding through the sky, it turned out that Kong Gang led a team of reinforcements to Gao Yao's location at lightning speed. As soon as Kong Gang arrived, he jumped off his horse without hesitation, walked straight towards Gao Yao, and bowed respectfully, shouting: "My lord, Kong Gang is late, please forgive me! My lord..."

Before Kong Gang could finish his words, an unexpected scene happened - Gao Yao's tall body suddenly fell backwards without any warning, and fell heavily to the ground with a "bang".

Kong Gang was shocked when he saw this, and his heart instantly rose to his throat. He rushed forward and stretched out his hands to support Gao Yao. Unfortunately, it was too late. At this moment, Gao Yao had completely lost consciousness due to the long-term fierce battle and physical and mental exhaustion, and fell into a deep coma.

The most thrilling battle of Xiang Yu, the peerless warrior, was when he killed 300 enemy soldiers all by himself. Gao Yao today was no less impressive in this battle! Although he killed less than 300 people, more than 200 of them died at his hands.

When Xiang Yu killed the 300 enemy soldiers, the enemy's morale was already low, and they were facing a mob and a ragtag army. But Gao Yao's situation was completely different. He was completely surrounded by the enemy, and there were fierce enemies on all sides. In such a dangerous situation, even if he was distracted for a moment, he would die.

This also explains why Gao Yao could no longer hold on after the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan left. After all, even if his own martial arts strength has improved, this improvement is not without limits. Even if he has the amazing power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna, it is just a foolish dream to achieve the myth of being one against ten thousand.

Gao Yao had already fought with all his might. Until the last moment, he was still able to grit his teeth and fight bravely because he relied on squeezing out the potential hidden in his body. It can be said that this life-and-death battle had pushed Gao Yao to his limit, but after it was over, he still had no ability to hold on. As soon as his body relaxed, he fell into a coma.

As Kong Gang looked at the enemy's backs that were gradually receding, he felt a strong desire to pursue them. Just a moment later, his determined eyes flickered slightly, as if he was experiencing a fierce struggle and weighing in his heart.

Finally, after careful consideration, Kong Gang decisively gave the order: "All soldiers listen up! Clean up the battlefield immediately and make sure to wipe out all the remaining enemy troops!" As he gave the order, the soldiers took action one after another. They held weapons in their hands and quickly cleared out the remaining enemies on the battlefield.

At the same time, Kong Gang personally led a team of trusted men, carefully escorting the injured Gao Yao as they rushed towards the county town. Along the way, Kong Gang did not dare to slack off, and always remained highly alert, fearing that something unexpected would happen on the way.

The reason why the Black Armored Army could arrive at such a critical moment was truly amazing. Long before the remaining battlefields in Kuaiji were gathered, the resourceful Han Xin had already planned and laid out his plans in advance. Gaoyao was going to fight against the imperial army, but it lacked a brave and elite force, and the Black Armored Army was definitely the most suitable for this task. So, Han Xin made a prompt decision and sent Kong Gang to lead 8,000 Black Armored Army to rush to Gaoyao day and night. As for Kuaiji, it had relatively no ability to resist, and it was nothing more than a matter of a few days faster.

The Black Armor Army is the best among the elites, and its swiftness is like the wind and lightning, which is astonishing. The war horses ridden by each soldier in the army are extraordinary. These war horses are all the first generation of good horses carefully bred by Gao Yao. They not only have excellent running speed and endurance, but also have the high-purity bloodline of top war horses given by the system. It is precisely with such a powerful army and excellent equipment that Kong Gang and others were able to successfully rescue Gao Yao and turn the tide of the war.

Such an excellent warhorse, both in terms of physical strength and endurance, is far superior to ordinary warhorses. Because of this, the Black Armored Army can move as fast as the wind and appear and disappear without a trace. When this terrifying Black Armored Army landed on the battlefield, the entire battle situation changed dramatically in an instant.

The battlefield was originally in chaos, with deafening sounds of fighting, but the situation was quickly reversed due to the strong intervention of the Black Armored Army. The once invincible imperial army now seemed vulnerable in front of the Black Armored Army. The Southern Border Army took advantage of the situation to regain the initiative on the battlefield and beat the enemy back step by step.

This fierce battle was not smooth sailing. Gao Yao, who was seriously injured in the melee, was escorted back to the county town for emergency treatment as soon as possible. However, in view of the complex and special situation in Guilin County at that time, Kong Gang made a prompt decision and ordered his troops to turn around immediately without hesitation and rushed back to Nanhai County with Gao Yao, who was still injured. After all, only by ensuring the stability and security of the rear can we better cope with the unknown challenges and variables ahead.

At the same time, the situation in other battlefields was also changing rapidly. Ying Bu held on to Yecheng like an indestructible fortress, and no matter how hard the imperial army attacked, it was always difficult to shake it. The imperial court assembled as many as 30,000 troops for this purpose, but unexpectedly, their attack was ineffective for a long time. What's worse is that after losing the command of Li Xin and the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, the imperial army suddenly became leaderless and didn't know where to go. It was completely caught in an embarrassing dilemma. Faced with the complicated battle situation before them, they were at a loss for a while, as if they were lost in the vast flames of war.

Erniu had already led a part of the Southern Border Army to complete a surprise attack on the imperial army's food supplies, but unfortunately, Erniu's attempt to seize Xia County did not succeed in the end.

The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan mentioned that he had already prepared more than 10,000 elite soldiers to garrison in Xia County. It was basically impossible to easily capture Xia County. After the setback, the second cowboy did not stay for long, and directly retreated with 20,000 troops without any intention of a long battle.

Although the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan had laid the bait, he did not leave himself a way out. Xia County was the most critical location. If Xia County was really captured by the imperial army again, it would be difficult to take it back. At that time, it would affect the entire imperial army's withdrawal from the southern border, including the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan himself. It could be regarded as leaving himself a way out.

At the same time, Zhang Han personally led the army to launch a fierce attack on Nanhai County. However, the progress of this offensive was far less smooth than expected.

Nanhai County was Gao Yao's base camp that he had worked hard to build for many years. It had abundant reserves of all kinds of strategic materials. Whether it was food, weapons or other necessities for combat, everything was readily available. Not only that, the weapons and equipment equipped by Gao Yao's army were also varied and dazzling.

Especially the guards of Nanhai County were equipped with a lot of black powder! This powerful explosive became a key factor in this battle. When Zhang Han's troops just approached Nanhai County, Gao Yao had already issued an order to use black powder in advance. The flames shot up to the sky and the explosions were deafening. The black powder rained down on Zhang Han's army, causing them great chaos and casualties.

Having never encountered such a fierce attack, Zhang Han's troops were instantly in a passive situation. The soldiers were panicked and could not organize an effective resistance. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Southern Border Army launched a round of counterattack. For a time, shouts of killing were heard everywhere, and the morale of the Nanhai County Guards was greatly boosted, and they fought bravely.

If Zhang Han's army had not been overwhelmingly superior in numbers, he would have suffered a crushing defeat, or even been completely defeated. But even so, Zhang Han's troops still suffered heavy losses. According to rough statistics after the war, at least 5,000 soldiers died in the attack of black powder alone. In addition, this sudden defeat dealt a heavy blow to the morale of Zhang Han's troops, causing their originally high morale to become sluggish.

For Gao Yao, issuing the order to use black gunpowder was not a rash move. Facing the enemy's fierce attack, he knew that it was a matter of life and death. Since the enemy was already at the gates of the city, it would be extremely foolish to hold back. Therefore, once he discovered that the enemy had launched an attack on Nanhai County, he decisively ordered that there was no need to worry and to attack with all his strength to ensure that his territory would not be easily breached by the enemy.

Moreover, Zhang Han had been hiding the incident for such a long time. Once Zhang Han was deployed, it would mean that the war had reached the most critical moment. Naturally, he would not hold back any longer. As for whether he would be discovered, it was no longer within Gao Yao's expectations.

When Gao Yao woke up again, he was already in his own residence. He got up from the bed immediately, but he only got halfway up before he fell weakly back on the bed.

However, the noise soon attracted the servants nearby, who immediately came to Gao Yao's side.

"My lord is awake, my lord is awake..." Seeing Gao Yao's slightly opened eyes, the servants immediately started to call out excitedly. After a while, Lu Zhi and others rushed into Gao Yao's room.

"Husband, husband..." At this time, Lu Zhi and others saw Gao Yao wake up, and they all had tears in their eyes. Lu Zhi took the main position and half-knelt beside the bed, holding Gao Yao's palm.

"Ahem... why are you crying? I'm not dead. What time is it? What's the situation?" Gao Yao's voice was very hoarse at this time. Yu Shu brought some water at the right time. Xiao Yue and Lu Su helped Gao Yao up together and let him drink some water to moisten his throat.
