Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 102
Gao Ding, who fled back to the capital, was facing a deteriorating situation. As more and more defeated troops retreated to the city, the morale of the army became more and more lax.

Gao Ding ordered his personal guards to patrol the camp, arresting more than ten people in a row to correct military discipline, and only then managed to stop the chaos in the army.

But the morale of the defenders in the city inevitably fell into a downturn.

Just three days after the siege of Wang Ping and Wu Ban, Zhuge Liang led an army and appeared under the capital city.

After two days of rest, under Zhuge Liang's order, the Han army began to attack the city.

A fiery red "Zhuge" banner slowly appeared at the foot of the city, surrounded by more than [-] Tigers and Benlang guards.Surrounded by forests of swords and guns, tens of thousands of Han soldiers slowly gathered under the city, surrounded the capital, surrounded by three and one.

Accompanied by the thundering sound of war drums, the fiery red wave rushed forward with an indomitable momentum.

Under the fiery red banner, Zhuge Liang signaled with his left hand, the herald got the order, waved the military flag, and the horn sounded.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

The strong wind howled, and the banners fluttered in the formation. The soldiers of the Han army shouted passwords and moved forward slowly.

The rebels guarding the city had never seen such a formation before. They were frightened by the loud shouts, and Gao Ding's face on the tower changed slightly. Rao was prepared, but when Gao Ding faced the Han army, he was still caught by the Han army. shocked to.

Gao Ding withdrew his gaze and looked at the soldiers on both sides, his face already showing horror.The soldiers who had just been defeated by Maotou Dao now have no fighting spirit and are no longer fearless as before.

Gao Ding was terrified and uneasy, not sure whether he would be able to hold the capital, but now he has no way to escape and can only fight to the death.

Compared with Gao Ding's panic, Zhuge Liang under the city is already confident. The capital city is short, and the barbarians don't know how to defend the city. With the help of siege equipment, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.

As the horn sounded through the sky, the siege equipment such as ladders, crash cars, wooden mantles, and rush cars were pushed to the front of the battle by the siege soldiers one after another, chanting, and slowly moving towards the city wall.

Gao Ding looked at the densely packed Han soldiers below the city and the siege equipment he had never seen before, pursed his lips, and clenched the Han sword at his waist.

"put!"

Gao Ding saw that the Han soldiers entered the range of bows and arrows, shouted loudly, ordered the flag to wave, and countless arrows rained down on the city.

Seeing this, Wu Ban under the city sneered again and again. The angle of the wooden curtain in front of the soldiers had already been adjusted through the brackets, and the baffle of the wooden curtain was raised to the front of the soldiers.With a howling sound, the rain of arrows on the capital city hit the baffle of the wooden mantle, making a sound of "Du! Du! Du!", and even the falling arrow rain was blocked by the shields in the hands of the Han soldiers.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the Han soldiers under the city leaned the ladder against the city wall, only to see the sharp hooks on the top of the ladder embedded in the city wall.

"Wan Sheng!"

The soldiers of the Han army hiding behind the shields took the lead to climb up the ladder, and then more soldiers of the Han army climbed up the ladder to the city wall of the capital.

Naturally, the rebel soldiers on the city wall would not allow them to climb up the rock directly. They lifted the boulder and poured hot gold juice down. The Han soldiers who climbed on the ladder all screamed and fell heavily to the ground.

Wu Ban showed displeasure, and scolded: "The dust truck is there, hurry up and cover first."

The dust truck that Wu Ban was talking about was loading lime powder, before Wu Ban could finish speaking.The dust truck began to pour lime powder on the defenders on the tower, forcing the defenders to retreat and unable to prevent their own troops from ascending the city.

The rebel soldiers saw the strange equipment operating under the city, and suddenly there was a white mist in front of them, so they hurriedly closed their eyes, and some soldiers who were too late covered their eyes and screamed.

Gao Ding's face changed slightly, he didn't expect these weird instruments to be so useful, he hurriedly ordered the screaming soldiers to be carried down for treatment.

"kill!"

A Han army climbed up the soldiers first, took advantage of the dust truck to cover his climb, climbed up the city wall first, chopped down the rebel soldiers, and quickly gained a foothold on the city wall.

Just after the pioneer soldier killed the rebels, another Hanzhong soldier in heavy armor turned over and rolled into the wall to fight side by side with him.

"Brother Yuan, I'll help you!" Jia Yan raised his knife and slashed down another rebel soldier, shouting loudly.

"Don't let me save you later." Jia Yuan spat, looking warily at the encircled rebel soldiers.

"Don't fart me." Jia Yan's eyes widened, and he strode forward with his right hand tightly holding the ring-sword, stabbing through the abdomen of a rebel soldier who was trying to attack Jia Yuan.

The two fought back to back, supporting the rest of the Han army's first climbers.After a while, dozens of pioneer soldiers in armor swarmed up.

The defense line of the city wall to the north of the capital was in danger, Zhuge Liang under the big banner saw this, his face beamed with joy, and asked, "Whose general is this, he is so brave!"

Yang Yi looked at the banner, cupped her hands and replied, "I want to report to the Prime Minister, Wu Ban's subordinates will be the first to ascend the soldiers."

"Record his name after the battle, and reward him for his first-ever victory," Zhuge Liang urged.

Yang Yi bowed her hand and promised.

The northern city wall of the capital was slowly occupied by the Han army. At the same time, the soldiers of the Han army on the city wall began to move towards the east and west gate walls, helping the feint attacking soldiers to open up the situation.

On the tower, Gao Ding looked pale, and surrounded by dozens of personal guards, he rode his horse and galloped towards the mansion.

Gao Ding and the others managed to find a way through the chaos, and when they were about to go to the mansion to pick up their family members, they found that a large number of Han troops had rushed in, so they had no choice but to go to the south gate to escape.

When he just left the south gate, he heard the sound of horseshoes not far from the east gate, Gao Ding's face changed, and he led the crowd to flee to the southwest forest.

Xiang Yu had a hood on his head, a bow in his hand and a leaping horse in front of him. He was dressed in a blue war robe blown up by the strong wind, and he carried arrows on his back.

Behind him, hundreds of Qingjiawei Qingqi followed behind Xiang Yu, also holding their bows on their saddles, and galloped to kill Gao Ding.

While the horse's hooves were pounding, arrows galloped out from the horse, and shot dead Gao Ding's personal guard at the back of the palace.

Xiang Yu and others followed closely behind and entered the forest to catch up.Relying on his superb riding skills, Xiang Yu rode the royal horse left and right in the forest, throwing off the Qingjia guards, and approached the Gaoding crowd.

At this time, Gao Ding only had two guards around him, and the rest of the guards might escape after death.

Xiang Yu leaned down, changed hands with the bow, took out five arrows from the quiver with his left hand, held them in his hand, took the bow body with his left hand, and then drew the arrows directly from his left hand with his right hand, and put them on the string. (immediately three arrows)

"Whoosh!" Gao Ding's personal guard responded.

Xiang Yu quickly drew an arrow from his left hand and took a quick shot from the bow.

"Whoosh!" The only remaining bodyguard was also shot to the ground.

Gao Ding turned his head to look, seeing only himself left, filled with grief and indignation.

"Whoosh!" There was a piercing sound.

Gao Ding instinctively bent over and shrank his head, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, his whole body was weak, and the biting cold slowly penetrated from his back to his limbs.

The sky and the earth were spinning in the field of vision, and he fell off the horse, his eyes went black, and he fell into silence.

High definition to death!

Gao Ding, the rebellious king of Yi who started the Nanzhong rebellion, died in battle in an unknown forest.
