Episode 155 Death Gao Qiu scare away the living Wushu

On June 23rd, early in the morning, Jiashangu.

On the battlefield of Jiashangou, the tragic sound of fighting continued from yesterday evening to the present, without any intention of stopping. The sound of war drums roaring in the Jin army almost covered the explosion of the explosion on Anzi Mountain in the northwest.

So when Han Chang, the commander of the Jin Dynasty and Liao Dynasty, was too curious to observe a blow-off pot that ignited the leads, but was killed and the war on the side of the Jiashangou was at a loss.

To be fair, the Jin soldiers' fierce attack was still very good. First, they used two thousand households to repeatedly attack the two wings of the Song army, and sent two Meng'an cavalry to encircle the left wing of the Song army.

At the same time, the Jin army only maintained a restrained offensive in the middle to confuse the Song army. It was not until the early morning of the 23rd that a ten thousand households commanded by Wanyan Eluguan suddenly launched an attack, and six elite soldiers from Meng'an were involved in one go and launched a tide of offensive.

This wave of fierce attacks was early in the morning of the 23rd. Although it paid a considerable price, it still filled the trench (filled with the corpses of people and horses), cut off a large section of wooden fence, and used the iron-pudu attack to flatten the shield formation behind the wooden fence, and finally tore the first line of defense in the middle of the Song army.

But beyond the expectations of Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Eluguan brothers, after the Jin soldiers and Tiefutu tore through the shield formation of the Song army and pried open the defense line in the middle of the Song army. The Song army on the opposite side not only did not collapse, but also took advantage of the opportunity of the attacking Jin soldiers being temporarily exhausted and launched a storm-like counterattack!

This counterattack first started with the poisonous fireworks balls shot out from the counterweight slings of the Song army. The dozens of slings standing in the back of the Song army in the middle lane threw more than 100 poisonous fireworks balls in three waves. Moreover, the accuracy of these fireballs was quite high, almost all of them fell in the breakthrough area of ​​the Jin soldiers. There was no doubt that these slings had been repeatedly tested at the breakthrough location of the Jin soldiers!

In other words, the Song army had long known that there would be breakthrough by the Jin soldiers!

However, Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Eluguan did not think so much at that time, because the choking poisonous smoke emitted by the burning of poisonous fireballs (composed of arsenic, lime, gunpowder, animal fat, and hot tinder oil) had not yet dissipated, and the Tiefutu cavalry shrouded by the poisonous smoke was still in chaos, a Song army's lancers suddenly launched a fierce rush in a very neat queue!

This Song army lancers actually had no good horses, nor were they equipped with iron cavalry. The cavalry had only one leader to protect their chest and abdomen, and a bronze helmet to protect their heads. The war horses were naked and unobstructed.

Even with such lightweight equipment, their impact speed is not very fast. However, the lancers' queue is really neat, and you can tell at a glance that they are the "997 Cavalry" who have been trained for a long period of running-in.

In addition, the cavalry also grasped the opportunity to charge, almost immediately following the poisonous fireworks ball falling from the sky.

Moreover, they also adopted the tactic of running after rushing and controlling the horse speed when charging, maintaining the formation as much as possible. When the charge ended, they drove at full speed. When the Jin soldiers did not react, they had already run back into the radius formation formed by their infantry.

To be honest, this tactic is quite similar to the Jurchens' own cavalry impact tactics, but the scale of the cavalry cluster is much larger. It is not fifty cavalry and one hundred cavalry, but a full three hundred cavalry! And there are only spear cavalry, no bow cavalry. The 1,500 spear cavalry divided into five waves, and one wave after another, and where can the chaotic Tiefutu resist?

Not only could he not stop it, he almost ran away. Fortunately, Wanyan Wushu reacted quickly. Seeing a large pile of poisonous fireworks balls hit by the Song army, he immediately sent three thousand kidnapped horses to reinforce the Tiefutu of Eluguan. Only then did he barely repel the cavalry general commanded by Yue Fei and saved most of the Tiefutu of Eluguan's men.

However, Tiefutu, under Eluguan, still suffered heavy losses in this sudden blow!

After Wanyan Wushu led his ten thousand households to join the battle group, the Jin army in the middle lane once again pressed up and finally pushed the front line back to the "fence line" of the Song army's middle lane camp.

But their offensive was once again suppressed by the poisonous fireballs fired by the Song army's guns and the repeated impacts of the lancers!

In fact, the combination of these poisonous fireworks balls and lancers is the second ace in Ma Kuo’s hands!

However, the number of lancers that can charge 300 cavalry in a cluster is still too small, with only 1,500 cavalry in total, forming a cavalry general, led by Yue Fei... Only Yue Fei can maximize the power of these 1,500 cavalrymen!

It should be mentioned that this is not that Ma Kuo has 1,500 lancers under his command, but that there is only this number in the entire Song Dynasty.

After several repeated attacks, the lancer was a little exhausted and had to temporarily stop the attack.

At the same time, the counterweight guns arranged behind the array also stopped firing poisonous fireballs.

The reason why it is no longer launched is because this poisonous fireworks ball is very famous, but its actual lethality is very limited, and it cannot kill people at all...unless someone is willing to hold a poisonous fireworks ball and chew a few bites.

The smell of this poisonous fireball is quite irritating and smells very choking. If you are confused by the smoke, you will still have some tears... that's all.

Therefore, the biggest use of this poisonous fireworks ball is to disturb the enemy, rather than killing the enemy.

Therefore, when the Song army was temporarily unable to launch an impact, it was a waste of ammunition.

When the poisonous fireworks ball stopped being released, the smoke that filled the battlefield was soon dispersed by the cool breeze blowing from the sea.

As the smoke dissipated, Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Eluguan brothers could finally see clearly the situation opposite.

After a glance, both of them knew something was wrong.

The Song army opposite was not only a large number, but also extremely strict. Relying on the Monkey Stone Mountain and Dongjiguan Mountain, they formed a vast horizontal formation, blocking the Jin soldiers' way.

Seeing this momentum of blocking the road, even an amateur who doesn't understand military affairs also knows that these Song troops are not easy to mess with.

And a terrible thought began to swell in Wanyan Wushu's mind.

Maybe... Taiwei Gao was not dead?

The Song army fought so tenaciously, and the offense and defense were still so smooth. How could there be a little bit of a head coach's new mourning appearance?

Just when Wanyan Wushu was worried that Gao Qiu was not dead, he heard the roar coming from the Anzi Mountain area in the north!

Is this thunder?

Wu Shu looked up at the sky, and there was no cloud!

Then this is...

"Wu Shu, look over there, there seems to be thick smoke in the north of us!" Eluguan suddenly shouted.

To the north is Wu Shu’s retreat!

Wu Shu hurriedly turned around and looked at it, and when he saw it, he was shocked.

It was thick smoke! There was a big fire somewhere, but looking at the rough location of the thick smoke, it seemed to be around Anzishan!

"Boom boom boom..."

A few more roars came, and I don’t know what it was?

When Wanyan Wushu was feeling frightened, his aide Cai Songnian (the son of Cai Jing) suddenly shouted: "Gao, Gao, Gao Taiwei!"

Taiwei Gao?

Where is it? Are they a human or a ghost?

Wanyan Wushu hurriedly turned his head to search, but without much effort, he saw a familiar flag recognition... It was the flag recognition of the Taiwei Gao Qiu!

I don’t know when this flag recognition appeared in the center of the Song army formation, and squeezed out the position of Ma Kuo’s flag recognition!

"Gao Qiu's recognition of the flag, could he..."

"There is a fraud! There must be a fraud... Gao Qiu must be dead, Ma Kuo is killing us!" Eluguan's voice was a little hoarse, and he had no confidence when he heard it!

At this moment, the Song army officers and soldiers who formed a horizontal formation suddenly shouted like a shocking sound: "Taiwei Gao! Taiwei Gao! Taiwei Gao..."

Taiwei Gao is here!

This is Ma Kuo’s last trump card!

I saw the Song army's horizontal formation suddenly disturbing, and the "Taiwei Gao Qiu" recognized the flag and began to move quickly, moving from the formation to the front of the formation.

And together with this flag recognition were hundreds of cavalry wearing red embroidered clothes. These cavalry surrounded this general with silver helmet and silver armor. The general was tall, red, and had a short beard. He rode on the horse's back and was full of heroic posture. He was the Grand Marshal Gao Qiu!

Oh, to be precise, Gao Qiu’s brother Gao Lian.

Of course, the generals of the Song army knew that Gao Qiu would only win, but Ma Kuo had to find someone to play Gao Qiu to deceive the Jin soldiers and his own lower-level soldiers!

So he brought Gao Lian, who had previously worked under Zhao Mingcheng (and also served as Gao Qiu's substitute).

Therefore, Gao Qiu, who appeared before the transformation into the gate these days, was played by Gao Lian... It is actually quite dangerous to play Gao Qiu. A while ago, Gao Lian even let the Jin soldiers shoot an arrow, and he almost became a loyal man!

After Gao Lian recovered from injury, he heard that "Gao Qiu was officially dead", and he thought he would not have to live such a job that could save his life at any time in the future. Unexpectedly, he was forced to be the traitor Ma Kuo to continue playing Gao Qiu...

Gao Qiu was officially dead, and Ma Kuo actually had a big drama about "Dead Gao Qiu scared the golden thief to live", Gao Lian was speechless.

But no matter how speechless Gao Lian was, he dared not disobey his orders. Ma Kuo had the right to act cheaply, so he could kill him first and then report him, and chop Gao Lian's one knife.

When this "fake Gao Qiu" appeared, Wanyan Wushu's face turned pale... so scared!

He had seen Gao Qiu in Transformation Pass... It seemed like the one in front of him!

Gao Qiu is really not dead!

Just as he thought of this, another staff member of Wu Shu suddenly came to him, "The Fourth Prince, just received the military newspaper, Anzishan was besieged by tens of thousands of Song troops, Han Dutong was killed by Tianlei, Anzishan was about to fall into the hands of the Song army!"

Being trapped...Run!

Thinking of this, Wu Shu no longer had any desire to fight. He only saw him saying to Eluguan and his staff: "Gao Qiu is still there... We are trapped and we should not stay for a long time. We should withdraw quickly!"

Retreat quickly... Wanyan Wushu, a living person, was actually scared away by Gao Qiu, a dead person who had been dead for a long time!
