There were only 200 Jinyi guards guarding Fang Yuan, and Hu Qi was shocked when he saw it, and immediately gathered fifty Jinyi guards on duty to form a fire array to stop the barbarian attack.

The number of barbarians is too much, at least hundreds or thousands, Hu Qi saw that the Jinyi Guard's fire array could not withstand the barbarians' fierce attack, and hurriedly rushed to Fang Yuan and said, "Governor Fang, quickly flee to the bottom of the mountain and join the main force, I will come to the back of the palace!" ”

Hu Qi shouted and shouted, and then dispatched fifty brocade guards to escort Fang Yuan to escape, and personally met the barbarians who were killed, giving Fang Yuan time to escape.

In the night, Fang Yuan, under the escort of thirty or fifty brocade guards, fled in a panic to the second pass. Feng Ting, the deputy commander of the infantry battalion guarding the pass, saw Fang Yuan being chased and killed by the barbarians from afar, and immediately prepared the two hundred Xuanjia soldiers who were guarding the pass, and met Fang Yuan, "Governor Fang, what is this?" ”

Fang Yuan crossed over to Feng Ting's side, and did not forget to instruct, "The barbarians sneak attack, fight and retreat, and preserve your strength!" ”

Feng Ting said, "Governor Fang will withdraw first, and I will cut it off!" ”

After escaping from the second pass, Fang Yuan was accompanied by only more than ten brocade guards, and he was busy running along the ancient road down the mountain range. In the midst of the chaos, the second pass was lost, and at least three or five hundred barbarians broke through the pass and continued to pursue Fang Yuan, who fled under the mountain.

Running in the mountains, Fang Yuan couldn't be faster than these barbarians who lived in the mountains all year round, seeing that the barbarians had chased only more than twenty steps, bows and arrows continued to shoot from behind, shooting three brocade guards.

Seeing this, the remaining ten brocade guards, if they covered Fang Yuan's escape together, everyone would inevitably be captured by the barbarians, so they asked Fang Yuan to escape to the first level alone, and the ten people fought with their last strength to defend the narrow mountain road, as long as they could block these barbarians for one more moment, Fang Yuan would have a little more life.

When Fang Yuan rushed to the first pass, it was Najib's younger brother Naxi who was stationed at the first pass. Nashi was repeatedly defeated and demoted to this first level by Najib. said that it was stationed, but in fact, he led 200 people to clean up the battlefield here and bury the corpses.

The movement in the direction of Xianxialing was too loud, and the flames were soaring into the sky, even Naxi, who was stationed at the first level, heard the noise and woke up from his sleep.

As soon as he left the camp gate, he saw Fang Yuan suddenly rush forward single-handedly, and he stepped forward in amazement, and before he could ask, three arrows shot behind him, right in Fang Yuan's vest.

If it weren't for Fang Yuan's explosion-proof armor, it would have been more than lucky to be hit by these three arrows.

Only then did Naxi come to his senses, these barbarians were chasing and killing Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan did not discriminate against the Naxi and the others on weekdays, and even gave them preferential treatment for deliberately giving them military merits, so that they could earn more good land, so that they could go down the mountain for two days after the war.

Naxi was originally convinced by the other party, but at the moment of life and death, he didn't have time to put on his armor, so he pulled out his saber, "Governor Fang, run away!" ”

Fang Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "Take care of yourself, don't fall in love with the war, stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood!" ”

"Brothers, guard the gate as soon as you pass it, and you must not let anyone out of the gate!"

Naxi let Fang Yuan escape for his life, and then led a hundred people to close the gate, and before closing the door, he was waiting on the wall.

Because Zheng Sen offered a reward of 10,000 taels of silver to take Fang Yuan's life, although the pursuing barbarians encountered Naxi's stubborn resistance, they still refused to give up and stubbornly pampered.

The focus of Najib's defense was to close the gate, and the barbarians could not break through the gate, so they sent a strong fortified wall with twenty strong physiques. After a fierce battle, he finally rushed to the wall of Guanmen.

Without saying a word, the seven or eight barbarians who attacked the wall jumped directly from the wall and injured two or three people, but there were still five people who continued to pursue Fang Yuan.

The military camp under the mountain range was at least three miles away from the first pass, and Fang Yuan desperately rushed out of two miles, reaching the limit of his physical strength, and his pace slowed down.

The physical strength of the barbarians chasing behind him was obviously superior to Fang Yuan, and although they had been pursued for ten minutes, they had gradually approached Fang Yuan, who was fleeing for his life.

100 meters, 50 meters......

Several barbarians took bows and shot arrows, and again shot Fang Yuan's armor and helmet, but in vain.

Fang Yuan's pace of running came to a slight halt, and the other four pursuing barbarians had already chased after Fang Yuan, drawing their swords and slashing at his vest.

A strong force lifted Fang Yuan to the ground, Fang Yuan turned around and raised the firearm he was carrying, and fired a shot.

"Bang!"

A crisp gunshot struck the man in the forehead, killing him.

Another barbarian slashed at him, and squarely squared his wrist, which was directly shocked and dislocated, and the fire gun was also cut to the ground.

At the moment of life and death, Fang Yuan took out the knife on his waist, rolled on the spot, and stabbed it into the lower abdomen of one of them.

While this barbarian's blood was splattered everywhere, Fang Yuan's helmet received another heavy blow. Although the knife couldn't shatter the explosion-proof helmet, the anti-shock force was enough to shake Fang Yuan to the point where he couldn't stand steadily, and he fell to the ground softly.

Fang Yuan only felt dizzy and almost wanted to vomit, and it was estimated that he was a little concussive. Seeing the three barbarians approaching with knives, he wanted to swing his sword to fight back, but he didn't have any strength, and secretly thought, "I didn't expect to die here today!" Alas! ”

"What kind of person, still sneaking around in the middle of the night?!"

Just when Fang Yuan was desperate, a familiar voice sounded not far away, it was the voice of Chigutai, the deputy commander of the Xuanjia Army.

Chigutai was alarmed by the sky-high fire on the side of Xianxia Ridge, and took his cronies out of the camp to patrol the night, and then heard Fang Yuan's firecrackers and guns, and immediately rushed over.

Seeing that Fang Yuan still had reinforcements, the three barbarians shouted badly, but they were unwilling to give up the prey in their mouths, and immediately drew their knives and wanted to cut off Fang Yuan's head and fled from the mountains.

But these barbarians had never seen this kind of blast armor, and they didn't even know how to take off their helmets and behead their capitals. The three of them tugged at the collar of the protective gear for a while, but in vain, they slashed the original vest a few more times, but they were unharmed.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three muskets rang out, and one of the three barbarians was knocked down. The remaining two barbarians saw that reinforcements had arrived, and if they did not flee, they would surely die here. They were scoundrels in every way, but they could only succeed, and they hurriedly took advantage of the night to escape into the mountains and flee for their lives.

Chigutai rushed up to save the people on the ground, opened the helmet and saw that it was the commander Fang Yuan, who was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the sergeant to carry Fang Yuan back to the barracks, and found the best military doctor to treat Fang Yuan's injuries.

Three days later, Fang Yuan finally woke up, the dislocation of his wrist had been rejected from its original position, and it was still faintly painful; The vest had several blood marks cut out; There were also a few heavy blows on the head, and there was a slight concussion, but fortunately it was fine.

The raging fire in Xianxia Ridge continued to burn, and the generals stationed in Xianxia Pass also fled back to the Chinese army camp under the counterattack of the Zheng army and the sneak attack of the barbarians.

After the battle, the results of the battle were counted, and the 10,000 Xuanjia soldiers stationed at Xianxia Pass were killed 6,000 and 4,000 wounded; Of the 3,000 shes and fangs, there were 2,300 casualties, and only 700 survived.

The main general Gan Hui, the deputy general Feng Ting, the deputy commander of the mountain special battalion Naji, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard Hu Qi were all seriously injured. Feng Ting, Najib, Hu Qi and others were lucky to survive, and it all relied on the brave and invincible Gan Hui to save them all the way. But Gan Hui was also seriously injured by more than ten arrows from the barbarians.

Najib's younger brother Nashi was killed on the spot in order to cover Fang Yuan's escape.

Five people were killed in the battle of the Xuanjia Army in 1,000 households, and countless people were killed in 100 households.

The four passes of Xianxia Pass that were occupied before were all lost, and the results of the fierce battle for three months turned into flowing water, and everything returned to the starting point again.

When Fang Yuan saw this military report, he was so angry that he had a splitting headache, and his heart was dripping blood, this battle could be said to be the biggest fiasco he had ever experienced, and he almost died on Xianxia Ridge.

The fire on Xianxia Ridge was still burning, and thick smoke was billowing out.

Fang Yuan forcibly supported his body and inspected the barracks, and the entire Xuanjia Army barracks was filled with a mood of war weariness and withdrawal.

Fang Yuan found Chigutai and Malin and asked about the morale of the soldiers in the army.

Chigutai said truthfully, "Governor Fang, I'm not avoiding the war, since Xianxialing and the twenty-eight military towns are so difficult to attack, why bother with the barbarians in these poor and remote areas of Fujian?" How much land can be collected and how much commercial tax can be collected? ”

Ma Lin also said, "Governor Fang left Nanzhili alone, but he came to attack Fujian, and he chased the end!" ”

Fujian's value is not in the ability to collect land taxes and commercial taxes, but in the geographical advantage of curbing maritime trade. Moreover, Fang Yuan's finances are also in trouble now, and he returned empty-handed, how can he repay the silver of the war bonds? How is the death pension of a sergeant paid? How to fulfill the promise of good land for Najib and other She people and fangs?

If you leave hastily this time, it will be even more difficult to conquer Fujian next time! Moreover, if the myth of the undefeated Xuanjia Army is broken, then Nanzhili, who is surrounded by the entire strong enemy, will also fall into the wind and rain.

Fang Yuan stared at the burning Xianxia Ridge in the distance, and suddenly laughed and said, "Zheng Sen is just a three-plate axe, after the burning of Xianxia Mountain, the three-plate axe is gone, it is already the end of the strong crossbow, I will break Zheng Sen!" ”

The generals looked at each other, not knowing where he could have such a strong self-confidence after his fiasco.
