Chapter 720 Wu Rui is greedy and scared to death!

At this moment, Wu Rui's mind was as clear as a mirror. He knew that staying would be dangerous, but he still felt that the risk was worth taking. After all, no matter how he calculated it, Gao Yao's chance of winning would never exceed 20%. As long as he could delay for half a quarter of an hour, he would definitely be the winner.

At this moment, Gao Yao, who had been staring at Wu Rui, saw that he did not run away, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes. You know, Gao Yao did not hesitate to reveal his identity, and his purpose was to kill Wu Rui! He also knew in his heart that this time from the beginning to now, his actions were indeed a bit reckless. However, despite this, he still couldn't suppress his inner impulse.

At this moment, Gao Yao completely threw away all his scruples and politeness, his hands tightly grasped the huge machete and the extremely sharp Chixiao Sword, exuding an unparalleled domineering aura. Every move he made seemed so decisive and resolute, as if he was the invincible emperor galloping on the battlefield.

As he roared, "Kill! Kill! Kill!", he rushed towards Wu Jun as if on fire. His speed was as fast as lightning, and the weapon in his hand was swung like a whirlwind, dazzling people.

The Wu army lost all courage to resist Gao Yao, who was so fierce. They watched in horror as Gao Yao hacked left and right as if he was in an empty space, and blood splashed with every blow, while those Wu soldiers who were hit fell to the ground like harvested wheat.

So far, the number of Wu soldiers killed by Gao Yao has reached nearly 300, a staggering number. However, Gao Yao showed no sign of stopping, and his killing continued. His personal soldiers also followed closely behind him without fear, and continued to charge forward.

Although the number of Wu's army was five times that of Gao Yao's, the difference in strength between the two sides was extremely obvious. Gao Yao's bravery and his personal soldiers' fearlessness of death gave them an absolute advantage in this battle. The morale of the Wu army quickly collapsed under Gao Yao's fierce attack, while Gao Yao's side was full of momentum, like an unstoppable torrent.

At this moment, Wu Rui's face suddenly became extremely ugly, as if he had suffered a heavy blow. He stared with wide eyes, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief - 500 people against more than 100 people. He thought that even if he couldn't win, he wouldn't be defeated so quickly. However, the reality was so cruel. In a blink of an eye, his defense line was easily torn apart like paper, and Gao Yao, the leader, was like a man in an empty space, approaching him again less than a hundred steps away!

Panic surged in Wu Rui's heart, and he began to realize that he might have made a serious mistake. He originally thought that a big reward would attract brave men, and as long as the reward was sufficient, the soldiers would fight bravely. However, he overlooked a crucial factor: no matter how tempting the reward was, it could only be obtained if one was alive.

Just now, when the central army tent was breached, Wu Rui panicked and led the retreat. This move undoubtedly caused the morale of the entire army to plummet. Although the soldiers were now ready to fight Gao Yao to the death under the encouragement of rewards, the morale gap between the two sides was still obvious. In such a small-scale battle, the role of the generals was crucial. A brave and fearless general could often turn the tide at a critical moment and directly change the outcome of the local battle.

What's more, Gao Yao, who was standing in front of them, was no ordinary general. He had just slaughtered 300 Wu soldiers at an astonishing speed, and the blood on the ground almost dyed his armor into a shocking blood red!

At this tense moment, the Wu army facing Gao Yao were almost all frightened, their bodies trembled instinctively, and they subconsciously wanted to stay away from Gao Yao, and they had no courage to rush to him. This fear was not because they lacked courage, but because of human instinctive fear.

However, in a fierce battlefield, fear often leads to a continuous decline in morale. The Wu army was filled with fear, their fighting will was gradually worn away, and the originally tight defense line began to loosen.

"Wu Rui, don't run away, prepare to die!" Gao Yao's roar exploded on the battlefield like thunder. He led the way, and with the few men he had, he broke through the defensive formation formed by Wu Rui's personal soldiers like a tiger descending from a mountain.

Seeing this, Wu Rui's fear grew stronger. Gao Yao was like a god of war, unstoppable. Faced with such a fierce attack, Wu Rui was completely frightened. He could no longer remain calm and quickly turned around and fled with dozens of soldiers around him.

An army of 500 people couldn't stop Gao Yao, not to mention that Wu Rui only had a few dozen people around him now? This time, Wu Rui was in a desperate situation.

Gao Yao saw this, how could he miss this opportunity? He whipped his horse as fast as the wind and rushed towards Wu Rui again. Wu Rui's escape speed was getting faster and faster, but Gao Yao behind him was always following him closely.

This time, Wu Rui had only a few soldiers left, only about twenty at most. Gao Yao was alone, chasing Wu Rui fearlessly. Anyone who dared to try to stop him would be killed by Gao Yao in an instant.

At this time, Gao Yao actually felt a little overwhelmed. Not only himself, but also the warhorse under his crotch had reached its limit. After all, the physical strength of a warhorse is also limited. When a person sits on a warhorse and fights bravely, every time he swings the weapon in his hand, the warhorse will also exert force. Even if Gao Yao is riding a top-level warhorse, it is difficult to withstand such a long period of continuous fighting.

What was even more serious was that the horse's injuries were even more serious than Gao Yao's. When there were less than ten soldiers left beside Wu Rui, Gao Yao's speed finally slowed down. The horse could not hold on any longer.

Wu Rui ran desperately in front for a whole quarter of an hour, not daring to look back. Only when he felt that he was far enough away from Gao Yao did he look back cautiously. However, to his surprise, he could no longer see Gao Yao.

This made Wu Rui feel relieved, and he breathed a sigh of relief. But at the same time, due to excessive tension and fatigue, his body suddenly lost balance, and he accidentally fell off the warhorse.
