He was ordered by his mother to rescue Song Gaozong who was trapped in Niutoushan. On the way, he met Niu Gao, Zheng Huai and Zhang Kui who were escorting grain and grass. Using some means, they deliberately killed the three of them and were defeated. Later, they revealed their purpose and became brothers with Niu Gao and others.
At that time, Niutoushan was surrounded by 600,000 to 700,000 Jin troops. He was so pampered but not angry. He urged his horse to charge into the enemy's formation. A big gun was like a dragon that was stirring up the river and the sea, killing the corpses of the Jin troops. Like mountains and rivers of blood, they broke through more than a dozen company camps in a row. When they met Jin Wushu, they drove him back with a single shot. They continued to charge into the enemy camp single-handedly, killing the enemy soldiers who knocked their horses down and killed them. Then they entered the east camp and exited. In the west camp, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, the golden soldiers were killed, throwing off their helmets and armor, screaming in agony, and making loud noises of grief.
Later I saw a place where the Jin army was stationing grain. They wanted to go up the mountain to burn grain and perform great feats. Unexpectedly, Ha Tielong ordered someone to push the iron pulley down. Gao Chong shot it away and the Jin army pushed it out again. Eleven of the dozen or so vehicles were picked up by Gao Chong one after another. When picking twelve vehicles, the horse was exhausted and fell down. Gao Chong was overturned to the ground and was killed by an iron pulley. Later generations wrote a poem and lamented: "Sacrificing one's life for one's country and going to the battlefield, one's loyalty can win glory every day. One's body is lost before one's pulley is broken, but it is a pity that the general's horse is not good." After his death, Jin Wushu was stunned for a long time and couldn't stop being amazed.

As a result, he became famous throughout the ages. However, he was jealous of his talent. He died of illness in Chang'an at the age of 23 and was given the posthumous title Marquis Jinghuan. It is said that the plum blossom spear technique passed down in later generations was favored by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and was introduced to Taizu's sect in Shaolin, where it flourished. The key points of its technique are: "The body moves like a cat, and the spear comes out as fast as a dart; if the spear touches a line, the spear cannot be swung."
