Chapter 718: God descends to earth and kills the enemy!
In an instant, a series of screams were heard, and the three horses fell to the ground and died under the fierce kick of Gao Yao's horse's hind hooves. How could these horses withstand such a huge impact?
Gao Yao is riding an extremely rare purebred warhorse. This horse has never been used for breeding, but instead receives rigorous training every day. Its combat power is far beyond that of ordinary warhorses.
In ancient times, this was one of the key reasons why generals valued war horses more than women. For those top generals, a top war horse was far more valuable than a beautiful woman. After all, there were many women in the world, and if this woman was not suitable, they could always look for someone else. However, a top war horse was a rare treasure that could only be found by chance.
On a fierce battlefield, the importance of a warhorse is closely linked to the life of a general. Who would not cherish his own life? If Gao Yao did not have the special existence of the system, it would be almost impossible to obtain such a top-level warhorse in a place like the South Territory. Even if Gao Yao was willing to spend a huge price, it would probably be useless. Because the top-level warhorse cannot be measured by money at all, and its value far exceeds the scope of wealth. To get such a warhorse, not only great luck is needed, but also coincidence.
Moreover, when most ancient people raised top-notch war horses, many of them actually ended up being useless. In other words, the more top-notch the war horses were, the more they needed constant exercise and running. If they only had bloodlines but no training, the physical fitness, endurance, and other conditions of the war horses would decline accordingly.
In ancient times, even if many nobles and wealthy people got these top war horses, they would regard them as rare treasures, take good care of them on weekdays, give them the best food and treatment. Only when they needed to show their majesty or strength would they bring these war horses out to show their faces.
However, this seemingly generous treatment often causes these top war horses to gradually lose their original vitality and fighting power. Due to the lack of sufficient training, their physical fitness and fighting skills cannot be effectively improved, and they will become more and more decadent due to excessive comfort.
Unlike these nobles, Gao Yao has always insisted on intensive training for his warhorse. The reason why he has such confidence is entirely because he has a magical system. This system can give corresponding rewards according to the degree to which he changes the plot.
By continuously completing various tasks and challenges, Gao Yao accumulated a large number of rewards. These rewards include not only various precious materials and equipment, but also special props to improve the ability of war horses. Although these rewards cannot meet the needs of the entire southern army, they are enough for some high-level generals and Gao Yao himself.
After all, the Southern Border Army has hundreds of thousands of people, and even if it is only to supply the mid-level and above generals in the squadron, it is still a very large number, not to mention to meet the needs of the entire army. However, for Gao Yao, it is still completely possible to supply some high-level generals and himself.
Even if there were some losses during use, Gao Yao had enough capacity to bear it. After all, the rewards he received through the system had already given him a fairly strong reserve of war horses.
In the blink of an eye, Gao Yao was like a ghost, instantly killing more than 20 of Wu Rui's personal soldiers! His speed was as fast as lightning, leaving no time for people to react. At this time, Wu Rui was already scared out of his wits, and he desperately continued to run out of the camp, as if there was an evil ghost chasing him.
In fact, Wu Rui did not want to send troops to encircle Gao Yao, but now the entire camp has been completely divided. The black armored cavalry led by Gao Yao seemed to rush directly into the Wu army camp without any rules, but in fact they had a very obvious tactical arrangement.
The black armored cavalry, with a team of 100 men as the base, rushed into the Wu army camp like a black whirlwind. Each time they charged, they accurately tore open the Wu army's defense line and broke its internal formation into pieces.
This tactic is a basic skill in the training of the Black Cavalry - giving full play to the mobility and impact of the cavalry, quickly dividing the battlefield and making it impossible for the enemy to organize effective defense and counterattack.
Although the Wu army had an absolute advantage in numbers, they were completely powerless to fight back against the fierce black-armored cavalry. The Wu soldiers were rushed by the black-armored cavalry like a storm, and were instantly scattered and fled. These soldiers were terrified and could not organize an effective resistance at all. They could only run around like headless flies.
Gao Yao's charge was not a blind move. His goal was very clear, which was to completely defeat Wu Rui's command. Wu Rui was the core figure of the Wu army. If he lost control of the army, the entire Wu army would fall into chaos and disorder. Therefore, Gao Yao held on to Wu Rui tightly, making it impossible for him to effectively command the troops.
However, Wu Rui was in a state of disgrace under Gao Yao's fierce attack. He was chased by Gao Yao like a stray dog, and had no power to fight back. This scene was witnessed by many Wu soldiers, and their original respect and trust for Wu Rui disappeared instantly. After all, even the monarch had fled in such a disgrace, how could ordinary soldiers like them have the confidence to continue fighting?
The morale of the Wu army soldiers dropped sharply and they began to retreat. Even if other generals wanted to turn the tide and maintain the situation, it became extremely difficult. Because the Wu army had lost its backbone at this time, the fighting spirit and confidence of the soldiers were greatly hit.
When two armies are fighting, morale is a very important point. Gao Yao's side is full of vigor and vitality. Each of them is like a tiger or a wolf, madly harvesting the lives of Wu's army. As a result, the morale of Wu's army naturally plummeted in comparison, and a large number of Wu's army even began to flee.
At the same time, the Wu army attacking Huiyang County also encountered a huge obstacle. The central army tent was suddenly attacked, and the shouts of killing were deafening and resounded through the sky. This sudden change instantly hindered the Wu army's original fierce siege momentum, as if it was strangled by an invisible big hand.
Dou Yong, who was in charge of the siege, felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He knew that Huiyang County was within reach. However, facing such a critical situation in the central army, he made a difficult decision without hesitation - to give up the siege.
