Dahan Pirate Air Force

That night, Yong Kai came to Gaoding's tent with a lot of worries. When the two met, Yong Kai saluted and said, "I wonder what Commander Gao is thinking about it. Who should we send to make peace?"

Gao Ding was drinking. He held up the wine glass and replied with a smile: "I have thought about it, and I think Master Yongkai is the best!"

"Ah!?" Yong Kai didn't expect this.

"Commander Gao, don't be ridiculous. You and I are the leaders of the army. How can we rush to the enemy camp rashly? Could it be... Could it be..."

Yong Kai suddenly realized something, and his heart suddenly became frightened.

"Gao... Gao Shuai, what... do you mean?"

"What do you mean?"

Gao Ding suddenly stood up and walked to Yong Kai, "When we were waiting for the uprising, you made such arrogant words, saying that the spirit of the Shu Kingdom was exhausted, that we would split the country and seal the borders, and that we would live and die together when there was trouble in the south. "

"Now that things are coming to an end, but you are greedy for life and afraid of death, do you really think Zhuge Liang will tolerate you, a rebel?"

Yong Kai's mouth twitched, sweat dripped from his forehead, and he forced an ugly smile.

"Gao...Brother Gao, I understand everything. Then I will do as you say. Let's join forces and attack across the river. We will compete with Kong Ming. Hehe! Hehe!"

Gao Ding smiled sadly, "Since you also agree that we can join forces, that's great. Just hand over the army!"

"Wha...what do you mean?"

Gao Ding suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and shouted: "Here comes someone!"

Suddenly a group of soldiers rushed in outside the camp, armed with swords and axes, and rushed towards Yong Kai.

Yong Kai was shocked and turned pale. He immediately drew his sword to resist. However, he was outnumbered and was soon chopped down to the ground.

Gao Ding came up with a sword, cut off Yong Kai's head with one sword, raised his left hand, and threw it outside the tent with blood dripping from his hand.

"Hang this head up so that everyone can see the consequences of being greedy for life and afraid of death."

......

The news that Yong Kai had been killed quickly spread throughout the rebel camp, and then quickly spread to the Shu army.

Zhuge Qiao, who was building a bridge on the upper reaches of Beishui River, soon learned the news.

The pontoon bridge he was responsible for had been built and he was impatiently waiting for the order to march. Unexpectedly, the Shu army's attack order did not arrive, but the news came that Yong Kai had been killed by Gaoding.

The rebels are fighting among themselves and will probably be finished soon. Their military success is becoming increasingly hopeless.

Zhang Bai has also obtained the news. He is almost the first person in the Shu army to know the news, because his transparent consciousness is mixed in the rebel camp.

The time finally arrived. He immediately informed his generals of the news, and then ordered Liu Ning to immediately lead the cavalry to travel through the stars and nights to attack Gaoding as quickly as possible, while he and Chen Huo led the air force to clear the way in front.

The remaining infantry and elephant soldiers were all handed over to Li Hui's leadership and continued to march towards Yueqi County.

......

One day later, people on the west bank of Beishui shouted "horse neigh".

The rebels gathered together to prepare for a cross-river attack.

Since killing Yong Kai, Gao Ding has become more anxious than the Shu army, restless all day long.

Yong Kai is dead, but it is impossible for all of Yong Kai's men to be convinced by him. Although there is no rebellion at this time, the people's hearts are obviously unstable.

In just one day, hundreds of people escaped secretly and became deserters.

If this situation continued, it would be over. In addition, the food and grass supplies were not as good as those on the other side. Gao Ding couldn't see what was going on, so he simply changed his mind and turned from defense to offense.

Early morning

Taking advantage of the mist, a large number of infantrymen of the Gaoding Army began to wade eastwards.

The Beishui is not deep, but it is relatively wide and the current is a bit fast.Although men and horses could cross the river on foot, they did so slowly.

That's why Gaoding took advantage of the morning fog and light to cross the river.

However, just after halfway, arrows suddenly rained down from the sky.

Zhuge Liang had long expected that Gaoding would launch an attack, so he deployed various overt and hidden sentries on both sides of the Beishui River to monitor Gaoding's actions.

This time Gaoding's entire army moved, the movement was actually quite loud. How could Zhuge Liang not notice it? The Shu army had already lined up to greet them on the east bank of Beishui.

Zhuge Liang was very patient. He waited until Gaoding's army was almost halfway across the river before ordering the crossbows to shoot into the fog without aiming. He only increased the rate of fire and fired row after row.

The rebels in the river were instantly killed and wounded countless people. The remaining ones wanted to retreat but it was too late. For a while, they were bleeding and drifting, screaming in agony.

Gaoding was frightened and furious, and ordered the soldiers to stop attacking. The whole army turned around and headed upstream.

The river upstream is relatively narrow, so crossing the river should be smoother.

So, Zhuge Qiao's opportunity finally came, but this opportunity came too fiercely.

Zhuge Qiao originally belonged to Guan Xing's group and had no private soldiers. At this time, in order to build a bridge, Zhuge Liang assigned him [-] infantry.

He had been guarding the bridge for many days and was getting anxious.

Suddenly, Tan Ma came and told Gaoding to turn his army to the north. The whole army was coming here overwhelmingly.

Zhuge Qiao was happy and frightened at the same time. What he was happy about was that he finally waited for the enemy and could have a good fight this time.What was surprising was that the enemy troops either didn't come, or when they came, the main force came in full force.

I only have 600 people, how can I resist?

He calmed down, reminded himself to calm down, and then began to issue orders and arrangements.

He must first send out fast horses and report the news to Zhuge Liang immediately. After all, he has few soldiers and it is impossible to stop Gaoding in the long run.

Then, all 600 troops were ordered to enter the position on the west bank of the pontoon bridge.This position was a trench dug out of the ground with a shovel, as deep as one person. Zhang Bai specially taught him when he asked Zhang Bai for tactics.

He also made some improvements himself. He accumulated the excavated soil on the outside of the trench, compacted it, and added materials such as bamboo, wood, and stone to form a low wall.

Among the more than 600 people, there are about [-] crossbows. With the trenches and low walls, they should be able to withstand it for a while.

In fact, he still has an escape route. In times of crisis, he can retreat to the east bank and defend against the river.But when he thought that his order was to build a bridge and guard it, he was unwilling to cross the river.

Just stay on the west bank and try your best to save the pontoon bridge.

Zhuge Liang's main force is not far from here and should be able to arrive in time.

Just as I was thinking about it, smoke and dust billowed from the south, and the main force of haute couture arrived.

The rebel scouts had discovered the pontoon bridge a long time ago, and found that the number of Shu troops guarding the bridge was very small, only a few hundred, and they were all on the west bank.

Gao Ding was overjoyed. The Shu army general guarding the bridge dared to resist his own army directly across the river. He seemed quite courageous, but a bit stupid.

This is a fighter plane. No matter what, it is good to eliminate a Shu army first to boost morale.

He immediately urged the vanguard to rush forward and capture the pontoon before Zhuge Liang's reinforcements arrived.

The battle began soon. Zhuge Qiao relied on crossbows to fight off the chaotic attack of the rebel vanguard. However, soon the main force of Haoding began to press on, and the two sides fought in close combat.

Zhuge Qiao's men were just ordinary infantry, and they soon began to be unable to withstand the attack. After all, his soldiers were too few.

It seemed that they could only temporarily retreat across the pontoon bridge and burn the bridge to stop the enemy. Unfortunately, they could not stop them for too long.

Just when he was about to retreat, suddenly a cavalry group stepped onto the bridge on the east bank of the pontoon bridge. The leading general's flag had a large word "Guan" embroidered on it.

Zhuge Qiao understood immediately and shouted: "Reinforcements have arrived, they are General Guan Xing's cavalry. Everyone fights hard and must withstand the enemy."

The soldiers guarding the bridge also saw the reinforcements, and they immediately became energetic. With cheers and shouts, they repelled another rebel attack.
