Gou Kuo rolled his eyes and thought, "You all know this, why don't I know it?"
Before leaving Kyoto, His Highness the Crown Prince told himself personally, otherwise, why would I leave Yujing City and come to this desolate place?
"This... what I, the general, mean is that fireworks cannot be defeated. Rather than letting our brothers die in vain, it is better to wait any longer!"
"When the Ministry of Industry also builds fireworks, we can use fireworks to fight against Ning Jun's fireworks. This way, we will have a greater chance of winning!"
Returning to the Wuyaguan front line was not what Gou Kuo wanted.
He thought about this clearly when he escaped from Wuyaguan and returned to Xiayuanzhou. Instead of taking 77,000 soldiers from the city to rob Wuyaguan, it would be better to wait.
He even figured out how to write a report to the prince.
But on the way, he met his soldiers from Qichengzhai heading to Wuyaguan!
Of course, the seven generals did not believe that Ning Jun could be so powerful. As for the fireworks, they had never seen them before. They did not take them as a big deal. On the contrary, they knew this foster father's son very well.
My sworn brother is knowledgeable, but fighting this thing requires an indomitable passion!
People who read a lot tend to look forward and backward, often miss opportunities, and end up in such a disastrous situation.
It's just that this sworn brother's tragic defeat was a bit too much. He only had about a hundred personal guards left by his side... So the battle at Wuya Pass must have been fierce.
Fireworks also made them put away their contempt and start to really take them seriously.
But no matter what, you can’t retreat!
Righteousness is at hand, so Gouyao has no choice but to come back.
But he really doesn’t want to fight!
Can't beat it!
What can you do to resist fireworks?
Isn't this a big deal?
It doesn't matter if you don't have a head iron, I'm afraid it will be blown to pieces by the fireworks.
So what he said to these seven sworn brothers at this time was really his heartfelt words.
But in the ears of these seven sworn brothers, their pride made them unable to accept it.
Then, another general bowed his hand and saluted:
"General, Wuya Pass is as heavy as a thousand pieces of stone!"
"Now Wuyaguan is temporarily in the hands of Ning Jun. They have not yet established a firm foothold and have not had time to repair the wall!"
"The general thought that now we should work together to recapture Wuya Pass and avenge the general!"
"The last general is willing to issue a military order. If he can't get it back to Wuya Pass, the last general is willing to kill himself in front of the general!"
Another general bowed his hands and saluted:
"General, we are also willing to issue a military order! If we can't get it back to Wuyaguan, we will not be able to see our adoptive father, so we might as well die in battle!"
Another general bowed his hand and said, "General, the Condor Army has never fled without a fight!"
"In the name of the Divine Eagle Army and the name of my adoptive father, General Mo thinks that what should be discussed now is the tactics of this battle, and not the return to Qicheng Village!"
The other two generals bowed their hands and said, "We will relieve the general's worries. Please sit firmly in the center and wait for the good news!"
What can you say?
He thought that these seven generals were all his adopted brothers, but it was a pity that they had never seen the power of fireworks.
They probably thought I was timid, so let them see the power of fireworks.
If they also lose...
Gou Kuo suddenly laughed. If they were defeated, then it wouldn't be because the general was incompetent, right?
So, he waved his hand: "About the characteristics of fireworks, I have made it very clear to my brothers."
"But now I still have to say one more thing to all my brothers...stay away from that thing, the further away the better!"
"As for the rest, brothers, I will hold the battle for you from the rear. I believe you will receive good news!"
"Recapture Wuyaguan, brothers, I will hold a celebration banquet for you in Zhaohua City!"
"In addition...brother, I will also write a letter to my father and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and ask for a huge military exploit for you..."
The seven generals saluted in unison: "Thank you, General!"
Gou Kuo waved his hand: "You go and discuss the strategy for this battle."
The seven generals retreated.
Gou Kuo stood on the chariot, looked at Wu Yaguan in the distance and sighed.
The right deputy general Zhang Shiqiang who was following him suddenly asked in a low voice: "General, if they really take back Wuyaguan..."
Gou Kuo raised his eyebrows and waved his hand: "Go find some strong horses!"
…
…
When night fell, the cavalry of Qichengzhai began to move.
The strategy they adopted was indeed decentralized!
Seven cavalry teams, each numbering 10,000 people, were spread out and spread out in a fan shape under Wuya Pass.
They did not act rashly. After all the ministries were in place, each of the seven teams only sent a thousand cavalry to rush toward Wuyaguan.
On the wall, Wu Mian looked at the charging cavalry and nodded approvingly:
"Gou Zhong is a famous general of the Wu Kingdom."
"His seven adopted sons did learn some real skills from him."
Wang Zheng Jinzhong also looked at the cavalry that were vaguely visible in the night, "In this case, the fireworks will not play a big role. How will the general respond?"
Wu Mian smiled slightly and said, "Herald the order!"
"The general is here!"
"Order Dong Shanhe to command ten thousand cavalry to form an array at the break!"
"Order the archers to shoot the general as hard as possible after the enemy enters the shooting range!"
"The life-throwing hand will not fire!"
"I will obey your orders!"
Seven thousand cavalry rushed towards Wuyaguan.
After a few breaths, they entered the range of the bow and arrow.
They were extremely scattered, and compared to the Guanqiang, which was about ten miles long, they seemed very sparse.
Such an attack, even if they really get close to the wall or climb onto the wall, will not pose much of a threat to the Ning army guarding the wall.
This is a temptation.
The seven generals of Qicheng Village stood a hundred feet away and were watching carefully.
In the darkness, they heard the screams of the soldiers, but did not see the fireworks falling.
The Red Flame Army didn't throw a single firework at all!
The first round of arrows rained down, causing over a thousand casualties among the seven thousand cavalry!
They were still rushing towards Wuya Pass.
The second round of arrow rain came again, and this time the casualties exceeded a thousand again!
More than 4,000 cavalrymen rushed under the wall, which was a blind spot for bows and arrows. They were originally worried that there would be rolling logs or kerosene dripping down the wall, but nothing happened.
Only then did they discover a problem——
Facing this high wall, they did not have a ladder to climb the wall! !
Can't climb up!
What to do?
They looked around and realized that Pao Ze under the wall was still far away from them.
Wang Zheng Jinzhong stuck his head out to take a look, "Just ignore them?"
“Let these small fish go for now, the big fish will take the bait!”
The seven generals of Qicheng Village were also dumbfounded.
They never expected that Ning Jun did not set off fireworks, and that Ning Jun did nothing except shoot two rounds of bows and arrows!
They came to Wuyaguan in a hurry. They did not expect that Gou Kuo would lose Wuyaguan so quickly, so they did not bring any siege equipment.
To recapture Wuyaguan, the only way is to rush up from the gap.
"Third brother, what do you think we should do?"
A man who looked like an iron tower looked up at the sky, "Maybe the enemy has no more fireworks... We seven brothers led our respective men to charge separately!"
"But all units must move closer to that break during the charge! Remember, concentrate on attacking the northern wall and ignore the southern part first!"
"Those who arrive first...must work together to seize the critical moment!"
"Brothers, if we can't get Wuya Pass back, we won't be able to see our adoptive father."
"Let's see who is more powerful, Ning Guo's fireworks, or the Condor Army's swords!"
"Let Xia Li's old troops clear the way, and the tenth brother will lead the 10,000 condor troops to hold back. Whether or not Wuya Pass can be captured in the end... depends on you, the tenth brother!"
The strong man, who is about thirty years old, cupped his fists and saluted: "Tenth brother, I will definitely live up to the trust of my brothers!"
The man from the Iron Tower pulled out his sword with a clang: "Brothers, charge...!"
Behind the wall, Wu Mian listened intently.
He heard the sound of galloping horses, and he smiled:
“After all, I still can’t calm down!”
"It's really coming on horseback!"
"Fate...thrower...attack!"
In the distance, Gou Kuo raised his neck and widened his eyes.
The firework fuses bloomed in the night sky as brilliantly as shooting stars!
Wuya closed the gate, and it seemed as if countless meteors streaked across the dark night sky, and they were falling towards the cavalry in Qicheng Village.
Gou Kuo opened his mouth wide, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
He suddenly stretched his neck and shouted: "Be careful that the fireworks startle the horses...!"
However, his voice could not reach the ears of the charging cavalry.
A firework falls.
A huge flower seemed to bloom in the open field!
The strong light of the explosion made Gou Kuo raise his hand to cover his eyes, and then he felt the familiar shaking of the earth again!
In the sound of the explosion, there were the neighing of war horses, the wails of soldiers, some people roaring loudly, and some people seemed to be running away randomly.
Immediately afterwards, there was a series of explosions.
The night sky is lit up by fireworks.
The main forward force of Qichengzhai was hit hard by the first round of fireworks!
This is not the most deadly.
The most deadly thing is that the war horse is frightened!
Just like the battle at Wuzhangyuan in Ningguo, the horses under the 70,000 cavalrymen of Qicheng Village were frightened by the sudden explosion.
They are out of control!
They simply ignored the control of the cavalry on their backs!
They instinctively spread their hooves and ran away... without direction!
As a result, war horses collided with each other.
Some cavalrymen were thrown to the ground by their horses and trampled to pulp by their hooves.
The entire camp collapsed under this round of attacks.
Like an avalanche, the so-called advantage of the cavalry massing and charging disappeared at this moment.
The 10,000 Condor Army cavalry led by Lao Shi have not yet launched a charge. He is still thirty feet away from the scene of the explosion.
Although these ten thousand horses also fell into panic, they were controlled by the cavalry in a short period of time.
His people were not in disorder.
But he knew that his six brothers and the 60,000 cavalry... were probably in danger!
Is this the power of fireworks?
I never expected that this thing would explode so loudly!
In his shocked vision, he saw a large number of meteors streaking across the sky.
"retreat……!"
He roared loudly, turned his horse's head, and ran away with his ten thousand elite men!
This thing is indeed invincible!
He rushed to where Gou Kuo was and shouted again: "General... foster brother..."
His eyes suddenly widened again.
The chariot is still there.
The angry wind lamp on the chariot was still on.
That tall flag is still fluttering in the night wind!
But there is no sign of the general on the chariot!
"Boom boom boom...!"
Another continuous explosion sounded, and he looked back, his pupils constricted, and his eyes were full of despair.
He suddenly felt a pain in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. Finally, he issued the order:
"Go...back to Zhaohua City!"
