The officers and men were smashed by the rolling stones and fled and immediately blew up the battalion. Some of them have passed through the battle formation and know how to dodge, or find a big tree, or find a big stone to hide behind them; Some fled down the mountain in a daze, and some hid in a ditch. The shouting of horses and the neighing of horses were mixed with the sound of miserable howls.

The three generals were escorted by their own soldiers and hid behind a large steamed bun stone, watching the rockflow rush down the hillside. At the beginning of the shock, when the army horses were counted, a total of forty-seven were wounded, seven died, and the most pitiful was more than a hundred war horses, which blew up a group of people and galloped in all directions without restraint, and a large area was washed down in an instant. Some rolled off the cliff on all fours, some broke their legs and collapsed on the ground neighing, and some fell motionless in pools of blood - the horses were counted with heavy casualties, and only about two dozen escaped the catastrophe.

Fan Gaojie waited for a while, and saw that there was no second stone flowing down, and looked at the top of the mountain, where the bushes and trees were swaying, and even a personal shadow was gone. When he asked his soldiers for a telescope, the telescope was in the coat of the horse, and it had already rolled with the horse to nowhere. Fan Gaojie's eyes were blood-red with anger, and he turned back to the other party and said, "This is a thief." After the order, be careful to cross the road, you lead people to take this mountain! ”

"Wow!" Fang Jin agreed, turned around and waved his hand, brought a shed of about 300 people, and rushed up with a shout, but the mountain was too steep, and the soldiers were frightened by the stone rain of Fang Cai, so they had to climb listlessly step by step. Fan Gaojie looked at the marching procession, only a stone's throw away from the top of the mountain, and breathed a sigh of relief. A message came from the rear team that they had passed the pass and were approaching the Chinese army. He wiped a cold sweat and said, "It seems that we have to assemble here and cross the Evil Tiger Beach one by one." Seize this mountain, and we will have no worries. Hu Zhenbiao tilted his head and said coldly: "We haven't occupied this mountain yet!" It's not a safe place to go to Tiger Beach. Fan Gaojie was choked by him, his face turned blue, and he looked at the sergeants around him, and he didn't squeak again. Suddenly, there was a roar on the mountain, and an arrow flew down from the "sun". Hu Zhenbiao saw that Fan Gaojie was so angry that he didn't guard against the hidden arrow behind him, grabbed a step, pushed Fan Gaojie away, stretched out his hand and took the arrow, the arrow was four feet long, the straight boxwood pole was varnished, the blue light on the arrow flashed, and a roll of paper was tied to the arrow. He "clicked" the shaft of the arrow, carefully took out the note, and sneered in his mouth: "With such a little effort, you dare to come to war!" Unfold the note and see:

Qing demon thief general, dare to offend my mountain! You have been trapped in Baishigou by 30,000 of my soldiers. The 3,000 soldiers of Bauhinia Mountain have blocked the Evil Tiger Beach, and they want to survive in the copper net iron array, unless they are given wings! If not, I will be bound to surrender, so I have to wait for Hongli to collect the corpse! Soaring oracles

Fan Gaojie was saved by Hu Zhenbiao, he was very grateful, seeing that he was not in his mouth, and read the letter without authorization, with an arrogant and domineering face, he couldn't help but be furious again, and saw another arrow shooting straight at Hu Zhenbiao like a meteor, he actually made up his mind not to save him, and watched the arrow insert into Hu Zhenbiao's shoulder blade.

"Ahh Hu Zhenbiao screamed and rolled to the ground, and the arrow had penetrated his front shoulder. He was also so fierce, he stared at the ground with a "swish", closed his eyes and pulled out a bloody long arrow, held it in his hand, stared at Fan Gaojie, and fainted.

"Help this kung fu general down, and ask the medical officer to heal him." While reading the letter, Fan Gaojie coldly ordered, "Don't mistake him for meritorious service!" Turning his face, he saw the people in the back team roaring out, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Suddenly, there was a cannon sound on the mountain, and the sound of noise all over the mountain was loud, Fan Gaojie trembled, and looked up in shock, the mountain was full of flags, divided into blue and white, and yellow were colored, and the flag was painted with a Taiji diagram, and the ant-like strongman had pressed Fang Jin on a small hill. The disciples did not attack either, and condescended on the main peak, and arrows rained down like a shower of locusts. Pity these 300 sergeants, they are tired from climbing the mountain, they are hanging on the small hill that is not high or low, and they are isolated and helpless, only to be beaten and dodge, and even the retreat down the mountain is cut off. Fan Gaojie was suddenly furious, drew his sword in his hand and ordered: "The whole army will attack!" This is a false momentum, I have seen it, his soldiers are less than 2,000! The soldiers on the left and right, shouted in unison, cheered for Fang Jin, and told him to resist! ”

But Fang Jin couldn't stand it anymore, and led dozens of soldiers to slash and rush down a road down the mountain. The soldiers under the mountain shouted and shouted in response, and when they saw that the large group of men and horses were about to rush up, they suddenly heard a 'bang' again, and the rolling logs and stones rumbled down like a river of stones, and the troops attacking the mountain turned around and fled without waiting for the order, and fell to their deaths in the valley, and those who rolled down the hill on the ground, and those who lay on the hillside waiting to die.

"Military Gate," the sergeant beside Fan Gaojie was frightened, and said hurriedly, "Only the Evil Tiger Beach can take refuge for a while, and I'm afraid it will ......be too late to leave."

"Fart!" Fan Gaojie shouted angrily and ordered loudly: "The whole army is moving closer to me!" ”

It is no longer possible for the whole army to get closer. The scattered and fled officers have completely lost their structure, and Fan Gaojie even beheaded a few deserters, but it did not work at all. His own mount was also taken by a defeated soldier, and he beat his horse and galloped wildly. Listening to the thunderous rolling sound of the stones getting closer and closer, he didn't dare to hesitate. Fan Gaojie sighed and said, "Retreat to the Evil Tiger Beach......"

Dozens of Chinese soldiers were eager for him, put the seriously injured Hu Zhenbiao on his horse, and rushed southwest with Fan Gaojie in his arms. It wasn't until the mouth of the Evil Tiger Beach that he completely avoided the stone formation, and he took a slight breath, and at this moment the defeated soldiers were surging over like a tide, sweating and blood one by one, and helping each other down, it was like fleeing from the famine and calling flowers, and there was no discipline at all.

"Hurry up, go separately and inquire about Fang Jin's whereabouts!" Fan Gaojie stood at the beach mouth with dirt on his face and sweat on his face. Evil Tiger Beach, surrounded by mountains, are all cliffs in the sky. The three rivers of Weifen River, Jie River and Yi River are squeezed into this dangerous shoal of more than 100 acres from the three canyons, and the water potential falls from the height, like a half-lying waterfall with a terrifying roar. The water intertwines at the mouth of the beach, forming a ring, and the middle is washed into a rocky beach. I don't know what year and generation rushed down a huge tiger skin spotted strange rock. The tiger's head and tiger hooves are all complete, and the ears and eyes are vaguely similar, tilting his head, looking at the north post road crossing fiercely. The South Post Road Crossing and the North Post Road Crossing face each other across the beach, and there is no bridge in the middle, and the white and blue river is circling and flowing. The landscape is terrifying, but the water is not very deep, and many soldiers stand in the gentle flowing water to wash their hair and legs, and the depth is no more than the waist. The south post road entrance was blocked by a row of wooden gates, and the stone wall next to the door was chiseled with three big characters of "Dai Dai Peak" - the post road was actually around the east foot of the Dai Dai Peak and went south - next to the big characters, I don't know which ink artist inscribed a tea bowl on the stone:

I have traveled the Shu Road, and I have also crossed the Lou Mountain. And now after passing through this place, I feel frightened! The high standard is inserted into the sky, and the strange water hovers in the valley. That is, when the pavilion noon wall stands between thousands of ancient wells, the sun and moon are difficult to see! The tiger squatting wolf squatted on the rocky waterfall, curling like haze smoke! Know it or not? This is the first beach in the world!

There is an inscription at the back, but I can't see it clearly. Although Fan Gaojie knew a few words, he didn't feel at this time, he just felt full of sadness. Just when he was helpless, a group of people from Taniguchi arrived again, and Fang Jin came back with more than forty remnants. Almost all of them had arrow wounds, their heads were wrapped around their faces, their chests and arms were tied, but they were well bandaged, and the most difficult thing was that they also led more than 20 mules carrying dry food, and one by one they were exhausted and walked into the mouth of the Evil Tiger Beach.

"Okay, it's easy to do it if you have food!" Fan Gaojie's eyes lit up, and he pounced on a grain pack, caressed the coarse cloth dry food bag with his hand, and said to the other party a little short of breath: "The most important thing now is to quickly report to Fu Zhongtang to Taiyuan - it turns out that the spy report is inaccurate, the thief is huge, we have been ambushed, the bloody battle is here, and we are trapped in the evil tiger beach waiting for help!" You, me, and Hu Zhenbiao are all here, and they have finally recovered the situation, and it is good to explain to the court. ”

Fang Jin listened to him, and a chill rose in his heart. More than 300 people were trapped in the rain of arrows and stones, and they fought their way to join the army, leaving less than 50 people...... Fan Gaojie, the commander-in-chief, was incompetent, without a word of self-blame, without a word of comfort, just glad that "the main generals are there", I really don't know why Zhang Guangsi took a fancy to this living treasure to lead the troops! He swallowed a mouthful of bitter saliva, walked to Hu Zhenbiao, who was groggy and leaning against the big stone, and sat down next to him, shaking his head gently.

"Eight generations of his ancestors!" Hu Zhenbiao scolded as soon as he opened his eyes, "The price of cowhide is blowing all day long, and the bedwetting is so bad!" Zhang Guangsi - what a fucking 'celebrity' are you! "As he spoke, he turned over and turned his face." Brother Hu, it's me. Fang Jin knew that he was talking nonsense, and said softly, and took out a piece of bread from his arms, "I'm Fang Jin...... Anyway, we're still alive. You eat something first......" Hu Zhenbiao came to his senses, looked back at Fang Jin, and suddenly hissed: "Fang Jin! My brother followed Zhang Guangsi, and he really poured blood mold! ”

Fan Gaojie looked at the pair of difficult brothers, and suddenly had a murderous intention in his heart: the defeat of Baishigou should be improper, and the court will always pursue this account. I am the main general, who is the responsibility to blame? These two Yue Zhongqi's old departments were originally not on good terms with themselves, so who knew that they would not bite them in unison? He thought about it for a while, looked around, there were stragglers everywhere who were looking for a team, and the soldiers around him had nowhere to avoid, and he couldn't do it at this time, and he saw that he didn't save himself There were many people who saw it, and then he would take revenge, and it was most likely to provoke a mutiny at this moment...... Fan Gaojie restrained his murderous intent, and when he saw the military academy that counted the number of people coming back, he asked, "How is it going down?" ”

"Let's talk back to the army." The military academy said, "There are two thousand nine hundred and thirty-eight in total, and the establishment has been restored." But there was no food, and some fainted with hunger. There is no medicine for the wound. ”

"Tell the battalions to come here to receive dry rations," Fan Gaojie said coldly, "tell the battalion commanders that the 4,000 catties of dry rations will last for four days." Send a few troops back to the original route, drag some of the smashing horses, and the scattered grain, and get them all back. Tell everyone that the rescue soldiers will arrive in three days, and after this battle, a few bandits will not escape! ”

As soon as the words fell, I listened to the sound of the horns of the mountains and peaks around the turns, and as the corners of the paintings corresponded to each other, there was a faint sound of drums and shouts, like rising and falling, looming, it seemed to be far away, and it seemed to be nearby. I can't figure out how many people. This faint echo is endless, adding a bit of gloomy and terrifying atmosphere to this obscure and increasingly dense evil tiger shoal. Fang Jin came over and said, "Fan Junmen, this place is not a place to stay for a long time. If the enemy lets us in, it will definitely be a dead end. Those sent out to deliver the letter could not guarantee that there would be no accidents on the way. We are short of food, and we cannot hold on. The most important thing now is to send someone to explore the way, the map we brought is painted by a living treasure during the Shunzhi period, and it is useless at all! ”

"The way out, of course, is to the south." Fan Gaojie stiffened his face and suddenly smiled, "The bandits are suspicious of this mystery, his soldiers have been used to intercept us in the north, and now they are going to be transferred to the south to block again." I said that I was trapped and waiting for help, because the soldiers have no fighting spirit at the moment, and we must stabilize the morale of the army. At dawn, we broke through to the south and gathered at Haojiapo to wait for reinforcements. First, it is easy to attack the Tuo Peak, and second, it cuts off the return route of the bandits in Linxian County. Now I'm so tired that I can't get out! ”

Being surrounded and waiting for help, or breaking through, this is the most common military measure, Fan Gaojie is both courageous and ignorant, and he is stubborn and self-serving, and the deep and introverted Fang Jin finally can't help it. Turning his face to the Benzuo people around him, he said loudly: "You are the soldiers of the camp of Jin Province, I am a veteran of Gansu, first with General Nian, then with General Yue, then with Zhang Junmen, and finally with this 'rice' general." You have heard my words and his words, but I beg you to remember them, and do not forget! After that, he hugged the fist group, and tears fell like rain. Fan Gaojie looked at it coldly, the faces of the surrounding sergeants were pale, and he knew that he had committed public anger, and at this moment, he reprimanded this general who had been killed for a day, and he was very likely to be hacked to death with a knife, so he was stunned for a while, changed his smiling face, and said: "Old Fang, now that you are in the same boat through thick and thin, how can you get this with me?" Listen to you - let the middle battalion select strong, strong, shrewd and capable sergeants to explore the way forward. Each team of thirty people, all the way to the north and all the way to the south! Then he commanded, "It is getting dark, so guard against night attacks, and do not light fires anywhere." ”

"Alas!" Fang Jin squatted down all of a sudden, sat next to Hu Zhenbiao, and didn't squeak again.

Piao Gao defeated the Qing soldiers with 1,200 troops and 5,000 horses, the enemy was wounded and half of the enemy was damaged, and almost all the food and horses were lost, but the Shanzhai rebels did not suffer any casualties. At this moment, his command position was almost on the Huaxiang Peak dozens of zhang high above Fan Gaojie's head, and dozens of Dharma protectors such as mountain fleas were guarding his big tent, and the wind on the top of the mountain was fierce, blowing the forty-nine Taiji Tu five-color flags into a hunting sound. He sat alone with a glass of wine, occasionally glancing at the Evil Tiger Beach below. He wore a white-haired green robe and a lupine scarf, and a furnace of Tibetan incense was burned on the desk in front of him, with the style of a fairy wind and bones.

But he is not thinking about the military at this time, the military has already won the victory: the shallow water of the Evil Tiger Beach is because the three rivers are blocked, and it is only to confuse the Qing soldiers that they each leave a share, and the water will gather enough in the early morning of tomorrow, and the three will break at the same time, and none of the Qing soldiers trapped on the beach will be able to escape for their lives. The soldiers in ambush to the south had prepared enough stones on the peak of the pack to pass. The soldiers in the north were still in the same group, and it was more than enough to intercept a few frightened deserters. He was thinking that the mountain fleas reported the situation of the Bauhinia Mountain Sect, and the incision was not right, and he was proficient in the teachings of the White Lotus Sect, so he said that he came to help, but he did not see contact. seems to be a friend, but he is not polite to the mountain fleas who are specially waiting for him; Is it the enemy, why has there been no movement for six days? Where can the governor of Shanxi transfer this group of local soldiers? However, in order to fight this battle well, he used up all the people, he commanded in the center, and he couldn't leave without a moment, his head was swollen when he thought about it, and he still couldn't figure it out. The rebels below all regarded him as an immortal who could pinch and calculate, and he couldn't show the slightest anxiety, so although he looked elegant and chic on his face, he was extremely uneasy in his heart.

It was already dark, and the Piao Gao army also ordered a ban on lights. The huge shadow of the mountain became more and more blurred, and under the starlight, I could only see the mountains and trees swaying uneasily, as if countless ghosts were secretly cheering and dancing, and the pine waves were sometimes slow and whistling. It is like thousands of troops galloping and fighting in the distance, giving people a mysterious and terrifying association. He couldn't sit still, so he walked out of the tent. A waiter immediately greeted him and said, "Chief Peak Immortal, is there a decree?" ”

"Nope." Piao Gao replied calmly, "Oh, tell people to keep an eye on the side of the horse shop, and there is movement and report it by the light." The red light is fierce, and the yellow light is auspicious! ”

"Obey the law!"

Floating high eyes looked at the south, to the south was his "righteous daughter" Juanjuan, with a thousand righteous people to feint to attack Linxian, waiting for the victory here to return to the army to capture the city. I don't know what to do at the moment? Piao Gao is 57 years old this year, commonly known as Jia Yuan. He was originally a native of Sizhou, Jiangnan Province, and lived in a small town on the shore of Hongze Lake.

One year he fell ill with madness, and his family prayed to God for divination, and sought monks to heal him. Bathing him in dog blood and whipping him with mahogany wood was of no avail. In desperation, his family sent him to Linggu Temple as a small novice, and later went to Ziyang Taoist Temple as a Taoist priest, proficient in some astronomy and geography and Taoist spells. In the sixth year of Yongzheng, the imperial court secretly summoned people with extraordinary abilities to enter the palace to treat the emperor's illness. Li Wei recommended him. In the palace, he worshiped Jia Shifang as a teacher, and one night the master and apprentice faced the wall, Jia Shifang said: "There will be hail on Thursday tonight, and we can't sit in the open air." Jia Yuan said, "The hail is only the size of soybeans, and the southwest wind will blow, and we will sit in the north, and we can't hit a single grain." And it came to pass. As a result, he aroused Jia Shifang's jealousy, and only stayed in the palace for three months before looking for trouble to expel him from the school. As he was leaving, he said, "I came and went." I have a Longhua body, I am destined to be noble, and I will be supported by the Lord of the world. I named myself 'Piaogao', your life is instantaneous, and you are not worthy of being my teacher! ”

From there, he traveled high and wide in search of his "Allah". In the seventh year of Yongzheng, there was a great drought in Anhui, the autumn grain harvest was cut off, and when the following spring was not harvested, a large number of victims flowed into other provinces. This is a good time to help the world and save people. Piao Gao rushed from Huguang Xiangyang to Nanyang Mansion. It was February when we crossed the old estuary, but it was raining sleet, and under the eaves of the two rows of houses on the street, there were hungry people who were so hungry that they were yellow-skinned and thin.

The weather was extremely cold, the steep spring breeze was wrapped in a drizzle of haze and fog, rippling on the street from time to time, floating high and soaking wet, so I went into a small wine shop on South Street to ask for a bowl of hot rice wine, and drank it slowly with spiced beans.

The door of a framer's shop creaked open, and a little girl came out with a bucket of paste, as if to send it somewhere. She looked at an old woman huddled at the door, hesitated, lowered her body and asked, "Auntie, your face is so bad, I dare to be afraid that you are sick, otherwise you are hungry, do you have a bowl?" This...... It's still hot, warm up for you......" In the blink of an eye, a broken bowl was placed on the steps, and he stopped speaking, silently poured a bowl and handed it to the old woman.

"Good man!"

Her action immediately alarmed more than a dozen surrounding victims, and they immediately surrounded her. All sorts of broken bowls were raised. Piao Gao looked closely, only to see that her face was embarrassed, and it took a while to reluctantly lift the bucket, and each person poured more than half a bowl, and the bucket was already facing the sky. Silently, he carried the empty bucket back to the framing shop.

After a while, he heard the faint sound of beating and scolding from inside, and it was getting higher and higher, and a woman shouted: "Do you know how much a pound of noodles costs?" It's up to 30 Wen! You can't earn a penny yourself, and you have to be a practicer! The streets are full of people begging for food. You are not Guanyin Bodhisattva, you insist on sprinkling the bottle of dew! How can I afford to raise such a slut like you! Then there was a crackling sound, and everyone was stunned, and a tall and thin woman dragged the girl out by the hair, and when the street was thrown, the girl fell on all fours in the snowy water, and could not earn it for a long time. She was eleven or twelve years old, and she was born weak and weak, and she was beaten so badly for a bucket of paste, that several middle-aged men couldn't see it, and silently surrounded her, staring at the tall woman angrily. Piao Gao also stood up.

"See, what? Didn't drink enough, didn't you drink enough? The woman opened a pair of cross-eyed eyes and shouted in a sharp voice, "Your father is building a new house for Hua Wuye's family today, and there is a bowl of noodles, so you dare to take it to those hungry prodigal men!" You are a master spirit, you just killed a man, do you want to hinder your father? ”

Piao Gao knew that the girl was a child daughter-in-law, he sighed, stepped forward to help the girl, and said to the woman: "Everyone has his own life, who interferes with whom?" Shut your dog's mouth! Anyway, she is also a life, can she stand your torture like this? ”

"Hey, there's also a wild Taoist priest who supports his waist!" The woman said, "She was bought from the market by my Ma family for twelve taels of silver, not from three media, six certificates and eight sedan chairs!" To die or live to be sent away, it is the business of my Ma family! What's the matter, are you in the way? ”

Ma Pozi was suddenly furious, and her two eyebrows were upside down, but somehow, under the high gaze, she was a little frightened, so she pulled the girl over, and was about to start without saying a word.

"Shut up!" Floating high and dusty, there are words in his mouth:

The predecessor of this woman was Ananda, the first seven pins of lotus in the seat of Shakya.

Now that the calamity has been experienced, turn over and go to Lei Yintian!

"I am the first child in front of Lao Tzu's furnace, and I am the ancestor of the world!" Seeing that more and more people gathered, Piao Gao began to preach the scriptures: "The great catastrophe of the world, the two families of the Buddha and the Tao will consult, and the whole sentient beings will be purified in the lower realm without an old mother, and the Tao will be established with Piao Gao, which is called Red and White Eryang!" There is no heaven and no earth, first there is chaos, and then there is a muddy, and the muddy grows into it, which is the Xuanhuang of heaven and earth, and the old mother of no birth is the lord of heaven and earth. All my people in the world, may this help the world and do good deeds, can form a good relationship with me, save people with a bucket of rice in this life, and return a stone in the next life. Accumulate 2,000 stones, and return you a too guarded official! After saying that, he closed his eyes and clasped his palms, and there were words in his mouth.

In the recitation, some people donated money one after another:

"I'll donate a stone of rice!"

"I'll donate two taels of silver!"

"I donate...... Ten pieces of jackets! ”

"I donate ......"

"Good!" Piao Gao said. A thick layer of copper coins had been laid in front of him, and some people were throwing them in front of him. Piao Gao squatted down, stroked the girl's hair, and said softly, "You followed me to learn the Tao, okay?" The girl looked timidly at her fierce mother-in-law, and her big teary eyes flickered twice. Piao Gao turned back to everyone and said, "This woman is willing to donate herself to learn the Tao." The mountain people themselves donated twelve taels of silver! With his right hand in the air, he took out a piece of silver cake.

Everyone cheered in unison, but Piao Gao turned around and said to the Ma family's mother-in-law, "Are you willing?" If you are willing to give up for goodness, these donated money and goods will be redeemed by you, and I will eliminate your sins......" The mother-in-law of the Ma family said in a loud voice: "I am willing to ......"

"Let's go," Piao Gao said to the girl, "You donated it, let's call it Juanjuan......"

With the passage of time, Juanjuan gradually learned many Taoist techniques and practiced light and agile martial arts. There was no suspicion between the master and apprentice of the "father and daughter", and Piao Gao just felt that she was becoming more and more beautiful and cold. One summer, he stumbled upon Juanjuan bathing...... He suddenly discovers that he is also a sentient man...... Several times pretending to be possessed by the gods, teasing and hooking up did not move Juanjuan's heart, and Yao Qin was obstructed everywhere, but to no avail. In a fit of rage, he chased Yao Qin away—and from then on, Juanjuan became more wary of him. Although he didn't publicly disagree, he was already wary in his heart.

……

"I'll talk about it after this battle. I will call her king and make her princess, and see how it is......"

He was about to return to the tent when suddenly there was a thunderous explosion of the opposite Pack Peak, and in a flash, countless torches were lit at the same time. Walled buildings, law halls, barracks, granaries, stables...... First, black smoke soared into the sky, and then it was like a ** warehouse bursting, and the peak suddenly became a mountain of flames. After a moment's pause, a red lamp lit at the stone gate opposite, and somehow, staggered and drunk a few times, as if even people with lamps had fallen off the cliff.

"Someone robbed the village!" Piao Gao was stunned!
