I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 982 The End of the King (5K)

"Your Highness the Princess is really not well behaved."

"The general could have gone more easily."

In a flash, the city gate was covered in blood.

It has to be said that thanks to the princess's reminder, Bruce, who was already cautious, responded to Su Yao's surprise attack, but the final result could not be said to be lucky.

Indeed, he dodged Su Yao's fatal blow to the face and did not get beheaded directly.

However, his agility was still far from enough, and he failed to dodge without getting hurt, and ultimately ended up being cut in half by Mo Dao.

Bruce did not die, but at that moment he felt like he was living a life worse than death. He could only helplessly watch as half of his body was separated and he walked towards the end of death step by step while wailing.

The sounds of wailing, screaming, roaring, and the collision of swords and horses continued. Starting with Su Yao's slash, a fierce battle broke out at the south gate of Chigu City.

"Kill!"

"Follow me to seize the door!"

Amid the sound of trumpets, the Han soldiers tore off their last disguise and launched a surprise attack under the leadership of Ma Chao, frantically hacking and killing the Wusun soldiers who were blocking their way.

"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"

"Close the city gate quickly!"

The deputy general on the city wall woke up as if from a dream, shouted at the top of his lungs, and called on the guards at the city gate to close the gate urgently, but it was too late.

Amid the creaking sound of the city gate, Su Yao bent his back and suddenly launched himself into the air, passing over the hundreds of Wusun warriors who had followed Bruce out of the door. He stepped on their weapons, shoulders or heads and jumped all the way to the half-closed door, swinging his Mo Dao in circles, drawing a bloody storm.

"Woo!"

The warriors who had no time to react were swept away.

"Pfft!"

Broken arms and limbs flew everywhere.

"do not want!"

There was no living thing in the storm.

"Yeah!"

"Mom!"

"What the hell is this!!!"

Those who were lucky enough not to be affected were all thrown into disarray when they saw this scene.

No matter whether it was the guards inside the door or the soldiers outside the door, they all let out screams like ghosts and wolves howling.

"Run!"

"A monster is coming!"

The chaos at the city gate spread like a plague. The Wusun soldiers threw away their armor and weapons and fled in all directions. Su Yao, with one sword, cut a bloody path through the city gate.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Han warriors led by Ma Chao fought bravely and attacked the enemy from both inside and outside together with Su Yao. In minutes, they cleared out more than a hundred people at the gate, occupied the city gate, released a signal, and summoned the rest of the knights on standby outside the gate to launch a general attack.

As for Su Yao, he did not stop for a moment, waving his weapon and rushing towards the palace, shouting as he charged:
“Run, run!”

"Tell your king that your Han Chinese grandfather is here!"

"Han people? What did you say?!"

In the banquet hall of the royal palace, the King of Wusun and Prime Minister Dalu, who were setting up a banquet to receive everyone, were both shocked and could not believe their ears.

"How could there be Han people here? Could it be the mumbling of my rebellious daughter again?"

The King of Wusun stood up suddenly and did not believe Apak's report at all.

The Han people are coming to kill us? It would be more believable if you said it was our own people who rebelled.

But that's the reality.

Apak was sweating profusely and said hurriedly:
"That's right, the princess shouted, but those soldiers did speak a language I haven't heard of before."

"Ridiculous!" Wusun Wang Guishemi slammed the table, "How could the Han army appear in Chigu City? Can they fly?"

Apak didn't understand this question either, but he knew very well that now was not the time to dwell on it:
"The key is that the South Gate has been lost, General Bruce has died in battle, and the enemy is heading towards the palace. Kunmi must not be careless!"

"Yes."

Prime Minister Lusaru also hurriedly advised:

"Kunmi, now is not the time to investigate the cause. The most urgent task is to mobilize the guards immediately, defend the palace, and wipe out the bandits that have entered the city. Not even a fly can be let in!"

The King of Wusun was silent. He stared at Xiang Dalu, still unable to believe it.

After all, he didn't have a divine eye and couldn't see the situation at the city gate. At this moment, he even suspected that Xiang Dalu in front of him wanted to take the opportunity to mobilize troops with ulterior motives.

In this way, precious time passed by minute by minute in suspicion, and soon the faint sound of horns was transmitted into the palace.

The King of Wusun strode out of the hall and looked towards the south.

I saw a red patch under the dark sky, and the fire at the south gate was clearly visible.

"Report - the enemy has breached the inner city and is approaching the palace!" A blood-soaked guard stumbled into the hall.

Wusun Wang Guishemi finally realized the seriousness of the situation. He grabbed the guard by the collar and asked, "How many enemy troops are there? Who is leading them?"

"No, I don't know," the guard said in a trembling voice, "I only saw a red-robed general who was invincible and unstoppable."

"Red-robed general?" Prime Minister Lusaru's face suddenly changed. "Could it be that Han's great general Su Yao?"

"Impossible!" Gui Shemi roared, "He was clearly in the northern border fighting with General Zuo, how could he be here?!"

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the palace. Then, a blood-stained palace maid stumbled in and said, "Kunmi! The princess is being held hostage by the thieves. Many people have put down their weapons!"

"Ashley?!"

It was as if he was struck by lightning. Until then, facing this cruel reality, his brain finally pieced together the vague truth.

The only possibility is that the Han army crossed the Tianshan Mountains and captured his princess. Otherwise, there is no other possibility.

But knowing the truth now is meaningless. The imminent crisis requires a quick decision:
"Seal off the palace gates and order all troops to come to the king's aid! Everyone, gather at the palace and make sure to wipe out the enemy forces in the city!"

"The Princess"

"Kill without mercy!" Gui Shemi's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, "Anyone who surrenders to the enemy will be treated as a traitor!"

Prime Minister Lusaru was shocked when he heard this: "Kunmi, that's your biological daughter!"

"I don't have a daughter who would bring disaster to the country and the people!" Gui Shemi drew his sword, with the tip of the sword pointing to the south. "Pass the order, whoever can kill the Han general will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and ten thousand tents!"

The decision was made quickly.

In his opinion, the number of raiders was no more than 3,000, while there were nearly 10,000 warriors in the city.

As long as we defend the palace gates and mobilize the soldiers, and prevent them from being hesitant when facing the princess, it should not be a problem to defeat these raiding Han troops.

But obviously, war is not simply about comparing size or looking at numbers.

After Gui Shemi's order was issued, shouts of killing without mercy were heard in the city.

Indeed, these people were encouraged by a burst of courage and no longer hesitated when faced with the kidnapped princess.

However, in a sense, the Han army used the princess's surrender to protect them rather than harm them.

When the Wusun warriors in the city rushed to the avenue in front of the palace with red eyes, a bloody fight was inevitable.

The battle is in full swing.

Princess Wusun desperately hugged her maid Sai Ya, listening to the deafening sound of fighting and watching the once familiar streets stained red with blood. She trembled and closed her eyes, tears silently falling.
"No. Father, don't."

Time flies.

As Su Yao led the vanguard to the palace gate, the battle officially came to an end.

"Open the palace gates, and those who surrender will be spared!"

Su Yao drew his sword and mounted his horse, making a final attempt to persuade the emperor to surrender in Wusun language in front of the palace gate.

But obviously, his act of knocking on the door with only a hundred or so riders immediately angered the people on the wall.

Especially the King of Wusun who arrived in a hurry, he cursed at Su Yao.

"Han dogs!" Wusun Wang Guishemi stood on the palace wall, his hair standing on end with anger. "A mere hundred riders dare to knock on the door. Do you really think that there is no one in my Wusun?!"

He waved his hand violently, and hundreds of bows and arrows were immediately erected on the palace walls, with the gleaming arrows aimed at Su Yao and his party under the city.

"It took three hundred years to build the Red Valley Palace. The walls are three feet high and there are three gates. Even if you have extraordinary abilities, you can't break through!"

As he spoke, Gui Shemi waved his sword and shouted under the sound of the war drums:

"The warriors in my city are gathering. They will surround you in less than half an hour. If you are smart, surrender quickly. I will give you a quick death!"

Su Yao looked up at the furious Wusun King on the city wall, a sneer appeared on his lips. He slowly raised his right hand and made a gesture.

"Kunmi, be careful!" Xiang Dalusalu suddenly exclaimed, "They seem to be preparing something!"

In just a quarter of an hour, the rear troops behind Su Yao arrived one after another. After Zhou Yu saluted, several strange wooden carts were pushed out from the Han army. The carts were covered with oilcloth, and several black cylindrical objects could be vaguely seen, slowly approaching the palace gate.

"What the hell is this? It's just a trick!" Gui Shemi snorted disdainfully, "Shoot! Shoot these bastards to death!"

Arrows rained down, but the Han army was well prepared and immediately raised their large shields to form a tortoise shell formation. The arrows hit the shields with a clang, but could not hurt the soldiers hiding underneath. "Fire!" Su Yao gave an order.

In an instant, several lines of fire lit up in the night and burned rapidly along the fuse. Before the Wusun people on the city could react, they heard a loud "boom" and the ground shook!

"Mom!"

"Thunder! It's thunder!"

The Wusun soldiers were terrified.

The extremely solid triple palace gate that Gui Shemi had just mentioned collapsed with a loud bang in the explosion, and wood chips and iron pieces flew everywhere.

In the thick smoke, Su Yao took the lead and rushed towards the gap, his Mo Dao shining coldly in the moonlight.

"Kill with me!"

"Capture the Wusun King alive!"

Gui Shemi was knocked to the ground by the blast, his ears buzzing. He struggled to get up, only to see smoke and dust filling the palace gate, and the Han army rushing in like a tide.

"Impossible, this is impossible, how is this possible???"

Gui Shemi muttered to himself, his face as pale as death, and was almost completely knocked out by this scene.

On the city wall, after the explosion at the palace gate, the palace guards who had been lined up in neat rows were now staggering, and few of them could stand firmly.

In the end, Xiang Dalu reacted faster. He grabbed Gui Shemi's arm and dragged him up:
"Kunmi, hurry up! The Han army is coming!"

"Go? Where to go?!"

Gui Shemi suddenly shook off Xiang Dalu's hand, his eyes bloodshot, and shouted:

"I am Wusun Kunmi. My warriors are still fighting. How can I abandon the city and run away?!"

At this critical moment, Kunmi, the Wusun ruler who had been in power for more than 20 years and lived a life of luxury, felt for the first time the boiling of the warrior blood inherited from his ancestors.

The chaos around him actually brought clarity to his mind.

He knew very well that he was the last pillar of the 8,000 warriors in the city. Once he escaped and disappeared, the defense of the entire palace would collapse instantly.

"Send someone to block the palace gate!"

"Raise my royal flag high and tell everyone that their Kunmi will not retreat!"

"Kunmi?!"

Xiang Dalu's eyes widened, as if he was recognizing the king in front of him for the first time.

Gui Shemi ignored Xiang Dalu's shock. He tore off his brocade robe, revealing the armor underneath, and pushed Xiang Dalu away and said:

"Saru, take your men to the harem, escort the princess and the children out through the secret passage, and go to the north to find the eldest prince. If anything happens to me, let him inherit the throne and avenge me!"

"We Wusun will never surrender!"

Gui Sheshi's roar echoed on the palace walls, and Prime Minister Lusaru was deeply moved and burst into tears, but he knew that now was not the time to be pretentious, so he kowtowed heavily, turned around and ran to the harem with his personal guards.

At this time, before the smoke from the explosion had dispersed from the palace gate, Su Yao had already led his army to attack. Wherever the Mo Dao passed, blood and flesh flew everywhere. Although the Wusun warriors fought desperately, they could not stop the Han army.

"Protect Kunmi!"

In front of the palace gate, a Wusun general saw that the Han army was unstoppable and the soldiers in front of the gate fell to the ground one after another. He immediately shouted and led his men to rush towards Su Yao, trying to stop their advance.

He held two swords in his hands and his moves were fierce. He was one of the best warriors in the Wusun army.

However, facing Su Yao
"Get out of here, you bastard!"

With a simple horizontal slash, the Wusun general's two swords broke in an instant, and the whole person was cut in half. Blood splattered on the palace wall, staining the ancient stone bricks red.

Su Yao stepped over the corpse and looked up at the palace wall. He saw the flag of the King of Wusun still flying high. King Guishemi of Wusun was staring at him intently. Su Yao couldn't help but chuckled, "He's quite brave!"

"King Wusun!"

Then, Su Yao slammed the sword into the ground and shouted at the wall:
"Surrender, you are finished. You don't think these shrimp soldiers and crab generals can be our opponents, do you?"

"Tell them to lay down their weapons. I promised your daughter that I would spare their lives!"

"Ashley."

Wusun Wang Guishemi stood on the palace wall. He first glanced at his daughter who had been taken to the battlefield and was crying like a tearful person. Then he looked at the Han army that was surging like a tide under the city and closed his eyes deeply.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly drew the sword from his waist, shouting:
"Warriors of Wusun!"

"Fight to the end! Today, I, Guishemi, will live and die with you all! I would rather die than surrender!"

"Kunmi!"

"Long live Kunmi!"

"Long live Wusun!"

"Kill the Han dog!"

At the shout of the Wusun King, the surrounding Wusun soldiers all had tears in their eyes, clenched their weapons tightly, burst out with all the courage in their lives, rushed towards the Han army one after another, and vowed not to retreat until death.

Such brave warriors are truly worthy of praise. If they had faced an ordinary army, they would have won a great victory.

But unfortunately, the Han army they were facing at this moment were not ordinary people, but the most elite troops who had followed Su Yao through life and death and experienced the great war in China.

"Kill with me!"

"Long live the big man!"

"Long live the Tang King!"

"Fight for the General!"

The Han army soldiers burst into earth-shaking shouts, and two torrents of steel collided in front of the palace gate, with blood and flesh flying amid the flashing of swords and sabers.

Su Yao didn't even need to make another move. Ma Chao charged in along the path he had opened earlier with his silver spear like a dragon. Using their complete formation and indestructible armor, the Han soldiers quickly broke through the defense line in front of their palace gate.

"Capture the King of Wusun!"

"Don't let the King of Wusun escape!"

The sound of footsteps and the piercing shouts of killing were getting closer and closer.

Not long after he made his threats, the King of Wusun discovered that the vanguard of the Han army had already rushed up the palace wall.

Although his loyal soldiers rushed forward one after another, unfortunately, his guards who had enjoyed peace for a long time lacked other abilities except loyalty and courage, and were no match for the Han army that had fought their way out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Not far away, Ma Chao stretched out his spear, pointed at the King of Wusun and shouted:

"Put down your weapons, or today will be the day you die!"

Gui Shemi looked around and saw the bodies of Wusun warriors lying all over the palace wall, and Han soldiers were pouring in like a tide.

His hand holding the knife trembled slightly, but he still straightened his back and laughed wildly:
"Hahahaha!"

"You want to use me as a reward? Dream on!"

"I am Kunmi of Wusun! Today I will either die or live!"

Before he finished speaking, the King of Wusun suddenly turned around, rushed to the edge of the palace wall, and jumped up in front of everyone's astonished eyes!
"what?!"

"This madman!"

Ma Chao stomped his feet suddenly and rushed to the wall.

At this time, the Wusun soldiers also stopped fighting, shouted the name of their king, and rushed to the wall to check.

Under the city wall, Ashley, who witnessed the scene with her own eyes, let out a heart-wrenching scream.

The king of Wusun chose to jump off the three-meter-high palace wall in such a decisive way at the last moment, expressing his determination to die rather than surrender.

How tragic this is.

This will inevitably ignite the flames of the Wusun army and people to resist to the death.

At the end of his life, the King of Wusun was going to sacrifice himself to teach the Han troops who had penetrated deep into enemy territory a bloody lesson.

Even if you take over the capital, the flames of resistance of the Wusun people will never be extinguished!

Drown in the endless anger of my 600,000 Wusun people!
As he fell from a great height, the King of Wusun felt only that his mind was clear.

The wind whistled in his ears, and he seemed to see his whole life - from the high-spiritedness when he succeeded to the throne at a young age, to the debauchery when he was indulging in pleasure, and to the determination to sacrifice himself at this moment.

Father, am I a worthy king?
“Father——!”

Amid the whistling wind, Ashley's cries pierced the sky, calling the King of Wusun back from his revolving state.

The fear of weightlessness gripped his heart. The earth was approaching rapidly. The King of Wusun bit his lower lip and opened his eyes wide, preparing to greet his last moment.

Then, he suddenly saw a ball of red flame.
"Want to die? Have you asked me?"

In full view of everyone, Su Yao under the city wall suddenly jumped into the air and caught the falling King Wusun in mid-air!

"what???"

"Is this still a human being?"

The onlookers were shocked.

Then, there was a bang, and the two men fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"The King of Wusun has been captured by me - those who surrender will not be killed!"
