Chapter 712 Early Winter 18(1/2)
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 have left Yujing City and come to this desolate place?
"This... what I, the general, mean is that fireworks cannot be defeated. Instead of 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 front line of Wuyaguan is not what Gou Zuo wants.
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 Qicheng Village 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, and 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 it 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 tough guy?
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 last 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 cannot get it back to Wuyaguan, the last general is willing to commit suicide 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, and we all have no face to see our adoptive father, 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 also lose, then it must be because the general is incompetent!
So, he waved his hand and said: "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 you 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 definitely write a letter to my father and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so as to obtain a huge military exploit for you..."
The seven generals saluted in unison: "Thank you so much, 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 Ya Pass 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 dispersed 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 towards Wuyaguan.
Behind 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 role of fireworks will not be great. How will the general respond?"
Wu Mian smiled slightly and said, "Herald the order!"
"The end is here!"
"Order Dong Shanhe to command ten thousand cavalry to form an array at the break!"
"Order the archers to shoot the enemy with all their might after they enter 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 are extremely scattered, and compared to the Guanqiang, which is about ten miles long, they appear to be very sparse.
Such an attack, even if they really get close to the wall and 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 Paoze 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 Wuya Pass in a hurry. They did not expect that Gou Kuo would lose Wuya Pass so quickly, so they did not bring any siege equipment.
To recapture Wuya Pass, the only way is to rush up from the gap.
"Third brother, what do you think we should do?"
To be continued...
