Just as Zhou Quanbin was about to kill himself, he was stopped by a group of hundreds of people who fell from the sky and wore strange costumes.

These alien barbarians were the mercenaries of the She and Fang people recruited by the Zheng family in Fujian.

A leader said to Zhou Quanbin in stiff Chinese, "Let's go, Shanling, let's open the way." ”

Zhou Quanbin looked at the mountains full of thorns, dead trees and weeds, bamboo forests and sea of trees, and a trace of vitality in his heart. If these barbarians who are good at running in the mountains open the way, they will definitely be able to cross the Xianxia Pass and escape back to the twenty-eight military towns.

was able to retain his useful body and fight again with the Xuanjia Army, and Zhou Quanbin gave up the idea of suicide.

He abandoned the Zheng army, who was fleeing in all directions within the second pass, and directly took five or six cronies to flee for his life with the barbarian mercenaries over the mountains and mountains.

Zhou Quanbin took the lead in escaping, and the Zheng army sergeants were leaderless, in order to save their lives, where could they take care of guarding the pass? They abandoned the pass and fled, looking for hundreds and thousands of households in their army like crazy. As long as these hundreds and thousands of households are cut down to surrender to the Xuanjia Army, not only will their lives be saved, but they will also have glory and wealth.

In less than an hour, when Najib led the mountain special battalion to attack the gate, the 3,000 households within the second pass and more than 20 hundred households were slaughtered.

More than 2,000 Zheng troops are frantically killing each other to snatch the heads of 3,000 households and more than 20 hundred households.

In Najib's view, it is not the panicked Zheng Jun who is killing each other in Guannai, but human heads and acres of fertile land.

Without saying a word, Najib immediately commanded the 10,000 mountain people of the She and Fang people to directly massacre the Zheng army sergeants who were killing each other. Even Zheng Jun, who wanted to escape over the mountains and mountains, rushed down the mountain stream and fled in all directions.

The massacre lasted from early morning to dusk, and the two or three thousand Zheng army sergeants except for thirty or forty people holding the heads of thousands and hundreds of households, Najib did not dare to disobey Fang Yuan's military order and slaughter without authorization. The rest of the Zheng army was slaughtered cleanly, and all of them were beheaded.

Najib counted and registered the number of people handed in, a total of 2,536, and then took these bloody, freshly baked heads back to Fang Yuan to ask for credit.

Fang Yuan ordered the sergeant to start counting the heads and give Najib credit.

He also ordered Gan Hui in the third pass and Najib in the second pass to immediately join forces. Tomorrow morning, Zheng Jun's headless corpse will be thrown in front of the Siguan Gate to deter Zheng Jun's sergeants. He didn't want to delay any longer, so he took advantage of the opportunity of the big victory to immediately pursue and directly broke through the Xianxia Pass.

In the early morning of the next day, a total of 5,000 soldiers from Gan Hui and Najib joined forces, and Najib's She and Fang people were the vanguard, carrying 1,000 headless corpses of Zheng Jun, and advancing along the mountain road to the fourth and final pass.

Najib's vanguard threw a thousand headless corpses of Zheng Jun directly in front of the gate of Siguan, and sent someone to shout to the gate, immediately opening the door and surrendering.

There are only more than 1,000 Zheng troops stationed in Siguan, and the guard general is a thousand households under Zhou Quanbin. hesitated whether to surrender the Xuanjia Army, or send someone to the Twenty-Eighth Military Town to ask Zheng Sen for reinforcements.

Najib didn't want these Zheng troops to surrender in his heart, but if he really surrendered, where would he still have heads? A head is an acre of land, which is a livelihood for She people and Fang people living under the mountain.

When the defenders of the Zheng army hesitated, the three thousand She people and the fangs had already rushed to the four gates.

These shes and fangs charged while carrying the howls of beasts, and the momentum was really amazing. Zheng Jun, who was closing the door, hurriedly released a few arrows and shot a few people, but he couldn't stop the charge of these barbarians. One by one, they were so frightened that they forgot to guard the pass, lost their weapons and drove to the direction of the 28th military town to flee for their lives.

Najib's 3,000 barbarian soldiers easily broke through the pass, and after entering the pass, they launched a thorough pursuit of the fleeing Zheng army.

From the Siguan Gate to the mountain pass of the 28th military town, about ten miles away, Naji killed the rise, and sent his younger brother Naxi to lead 500 tribesmen to directly chase and kill the fleeing Zheng soldiers along the way, and the headless corpses of Zheng soldiers were lying all over the mountain road ten miles down the mountain. Most of the five hundred men in pursuit had human heads around their waists.

As soon as they got out of the mountain pass, they saw a large trench dug by the Zheng army in front of them that was 300 zhang long and 1 zhang wide, completely blocking the mountain pass out of the mountain range.

Behind the large trench was a three-story fortification built of wood and stone by the Zheng army. After each fortification, there were sergeants stationed in the Zheng army.

Further back, there was the tall wall of the 28th military town, on which a row of at least twenty guns was erected, and the muzzle of the guns was facing the mountain pass.

"Boom, boom!"

The sound of artillery bombardment sounded, and the 500 people led by Naxi were blown to pieces by the artillery of the Zheng army, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Naxi immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army and rushed to retreat up the mountain.

But Naxi retreated all the way, and the shelling sound from nowhere did not stop all the way, and the retreating 500 She people were shelled all the way, and the casualties were extremely heavy. When Naxi fled back to the fourth pass, the sound of artillery bombardment gradually died down, and as soon as the results of the battle were counted, three or four hundred of the five hundred tribesmen he brought with him had been killed.

Naxi was dizzy by the bombing, and he didn't know what had happened, so he immediately sent someone to report the fiasco of this attack to Fang Yuan and Najib.

Zheng Sen stood on the city wall, looking at the pursuing She people and fangs being directly blown up on the mountain, and laughed non-stop.

Half an hour later, the barbarian mercenaries fled back to the military town with Zhou Quanbin from the mountain road, Zhou Quanbin escaped death, and hurriedly knelt down to Zheng Sen and kowtowed to plead guilty, "Lord Commander, the last general is incompetent, Xianxia Pass is gone!" ”

Zheng Sen pulled him up, laughed and said, "Quan Bin, do you know the battle of Yiling between Shu Han and Eastern Wu, why did Shu Han lose?" ”

Zhou Quanbin shook his head, and Zheng Sen continued, "It is because Eastern Wu gave up all the mountain roads that are hundreds of miles in the mountains and mountains, and it is difficult to garrison the army, to Shu Han. Shu Han had to camp for hundreds of miles, but was attacked by Lu Xun of Eastern Wu and succeeded in the first battle! ”

He pointed to the ancient road of Xianxia Ridge and said loudly, "This Xianxia Pass of twenty or thirty miles is the trap we gave to the Xuanjia Army. If the 80,000 Xuanjia army all enter the Xianxialing Ancient Road, they will inevitably have to camp for thirty miles, it is the winter solstice, the weather is dry and dry, and the dead wood and weeds on the mountain will burn at all. We will adopt Lu Xun's method of breaking the Shu Han, and first use the impregnable 28 military towns to reduce the morale of the Xuanjia army. Wait for the cold days of 39 and 49, send barbarian mercenaries to launch a fire attack on the mountains, and our army's tiger guards will attack head-on from the mountain road, and they will inevitably defeat the Xuanjia army in one fell swoop. If Fang Yuan dared to stay in Xianxia Pass, he might be able to capture Fang Yuan in one fell swoop and win a big victory! ”

Zhou Quanbin sighed deeply, but he didn't expect Zheng Sen to abandon Xianxia Pass from the beginning, and use Xianxia Pass as a bait to break the Xuanjia Army, "I have also deceived the general soldiers, since I have already become a bamboo in my chest, I don't have to kill seven or eight thousand soldiers in Xianxia Pass." ”

Zheng Sen heard the complaint between his words, and lost seven or eight thousand Zheng Army sergeants in vain, his eyes flashed sharply, and he said in a deep voice, "Quan Bin, if you didn't cheat you, how could you fool the scheming Fang Yuan?" If he hadn't thrown away these seven or eight thousand sergeants to satisfy Fang Yuan's appetite, how could he obediently win the scheme? ”

Zheng Sen didn't blink an eye, and directly threw out seven or eight thousand Zheng Jun sergeants as outcasts to lure Fang Yuan into the game, which made Zhou Quanbin break out in a cold sweat, and said, "The Xuanjia Army is too strong, what if the Twenty-Eight Capital Army can't hold it?" ”

Zheng Sen pointed to the two sides of the mountain pass and said, "When Fang Yuan's troops left Suzhou City, I started to build two large army forts on the high ground on both sides of the mountain pass. Each fort was connected to the twenty-eight military towns, and could accommodate 2,000 sergeants and 10 artillery pieces. As soon as the Xuanjia army came out of the mountain pass, it would be bombarded by forty artillery pieces. Even if the Xuanjia army braved the artillery attack, it was difficult to break through the big trench. Even if the large trench was filled, it would have to break through three strong fortifications to reach the city gates of the military town. The Xuanjia Army wants to break through this line of defense, which is really a fool's dream. ”

Zhou Quanbin is also a veteran of the battlefield, at a glance, the two highland positions are the commanding heights of the mountain pass, coupled with the artillery cover on the city wall, it can indeed blow up any Xuanjia army that kills from the mountain pass.

Moreover, even though Fang originally attacked two artillery positions, the two artillery positions were supported by a steady stream of troops from the twenty-eight military towns, as well as 50,000 barbarian mercenaries who were good at mountain warfare. Fang Yuan wanted to capture the two artillery positions, but it was as difficult as the sky.

At least with Zhou Quanbin's knowledge, if he was Fang Yuan, he would never be able to break through the impregnable defense line set up by Zheng Sen relying on the terrain of the military town, so he could only obediently choose to retreat.

Zhou Quanbin admired Zheng Sen from the bottom of his heart, and sighed, "The chief soldier is really like a god in his army, and Sun Tzu and Han Xin are just like that." ”

Zheng Sen laughed and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Father, the fifth uncle's gang is afraid of Fang Yuan like a tiger, they are really old and confused!" With me Zheng Sen here, the Xianxialing Ancient Road will never be breached! ”
