The next day, Tong Guan led the army to help the source, and after arriving, he discussed with Zhao Kai and decided to directly enter the Jianmen Ridge, but as soon as the army crossed the ridge, it encountered the vanguard of the Fang La army, and a big battle began.

The battle lasted for three days and three nights and was not over, and the fourth day had just dawned, and the fog on the Jianmen Ridge was thick, and thousands of precipices and ravines spit out smoke and clouds, rolling like waves on the sea, and after a burst of bloody wind and turbid fog, the wails of the wounded soldiers echoed everywhere.

At this time, Liu Zhen and Yang Keshi led the reserve army to the foot of the Jianmen Ridge, only to see the soldiers of the Jingsuo Department on the ridge and the thief army Xiahou Chengbu fighting, in the middle of the mountainside, the two armies fought together, and there was a sound of "ping pong and ping-pong" swords, the sound of "feeding" made by spears piercing into people's chests, and the sound of wooden sticks hitting the head of the broken scoop, all kinds of sounds and the screams of tearing liver and gall were mixed together.

The blood soaked the mountain soil into mud, the piles of corpses were like undulating hills, the flesh splashed on the green grass was like blooming red flowers, and the thorns were covered with stumps and stumps.

Yijing's lieutenant generals Zhao Ming, Zhao Xu, Jiang Zhou, and Jiang Jun personally escorted the battle with spears in hand, and the retreating Western soldiers were all reprimanded by them to move forward again, and the thief army under Xiahou Cheng on the opposite side was like a hungry tiger, although there was no rule, but they were not afraid of death.

Liu Zhen and Yang Keshi saw that there was an opportunity, so they each led an army, and they all temporarily abandoned their war horses, and grabbed them on foot from the left and right paths, and waited until the thief army Xiahou Cheng found out that the two Song soldiers had grabbed the Jianmen Ridge and fought on the slope of the ridge.

This Jianmen Ridge is a strange terrain, the outside is slow and the inside is steep, the Song army is extremely easy to climb the ridge from the outside, and the thief army is not advantageous from the steep slope, Liu Zhen and Yang Keshi The two western armies are extremely fierce, the thief army falls down one after another, and the whole Gate Ridge has become a mountain of corpses in the Rouling, which is unbearable.

Xiahou Cheng had two wounds on his body at this time, and the steel knife in his hand had already been cut into a saw, but he was still fighting to the death and refused to retreat.

At this moment, I only heard the road behind the ridge shouting: "General Xiahou, don't worry, this king is here to help you!" ”

Xiahou Cheng looked back, it turned out to be the Eight Kings of the Holy Dynasty Fang House with the troops, this Fang House is born with divine power, occupying the position of the Dharma King in the Ming Sect, called the Red Eye Elephant King, after the establishment of the Holy Dynasty, Fang La was named the King of the Eight Forces.

Xiahou Cheng was suddenly overjoyed, just like a long morning in the sweet rain, his strength and spirit multiplied at this moment, and he shouted "Eight kings be careful".

Fang Wu led his troops to rush to Shangmenling and shouted, "General Xiahou, please take a step back, rest and recuperate, I will lead people to resist here." ”

After that, this square house wielded a big knife and picked it up like a mad lion to break into the Song army in front.

The big knife in his hand weighed more than 60 catties, flying up and down in the air, "splitting and crackling" and smashing his head, until the flesh and blood of the Western Army soldiers were splashed, calling his father and mother, and retreating backwards.

Liu Zhen was secretly surprised when he saw Fang Wu's bravery, and asked left and right: "Who is this reckless man?" ”

Those who recognized him said: "He is the eighth brother of Fang La, the younger brother of Fang Qifo, and the king of the thief army, Fang House!" ”

Liu Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately ordered: "Anyone who can catch this square house will be rewarded with a hundred gold and a thousand dollars!" ”

When the soldiers heard the reward, they immediately shook their swords and shouted, and rushed towards the square house, and at this moment they saw that the money could be used to communicate with the gods, and after a while, the front of the square house was crowded into a blocking wall.

I only heard the roar of Fang Wu, like a thunderbolt in mid-air, and the Western Army was all chilled when they heard it.

Fangwu big knife circled and flashed, startling the soldiers of the western army to flee one after another, like a landslide with the tide receding, the knife fell like chopping melons and vegetables, although the number of the western army was numerous, but it was difficult to get close.

Zhu Shahu, the deputy general of Huanqingbing, frowned when he saw this, he was brave and powerful, carried two iron shovels in his hand, separated everyone and came to the front, and shouted: "Rebel, less must be reckless!" With that, the two hammers were laid down together.

Fang Wu greeted the big knife, and the sound of "dang" opened the double mace, and a dozen circled the knife high, and roared: "Song Dog takes it!" ”

A force split Huashan cover will come down, this Zhu Shahu wanted to raise a hammer to fight, only to hear the "click" sound, and even people with a hammer were chopped to the ground.

Song Bing Song Jiang saw that the Zhu Shahu was like a watermelon that was split in half, and the two iron shovels were bent into a bow, and they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Fang Wu swung the big knife, and it swept over like an oolong, and wherever he went, the western soldiers would retreat one after another, and those who touched it were injured, and those who were stained died.

Liu Zhen saw that the officers and soldiers were defeated, and he couldn't help but personally use the guns and bullets, and then saw that the courage of the square house was increasing unabated, he was furious, drank away from the soldiers, went to the square house in person, stomped on both feet, and the little steel spear nodded like a lion and stabbed it.

Fang Wu gently pushed the big knife up, set it out of the circle, and turned back to make a dragonfly point of water directly at Liu Zhen's façade, Liu Zhen hurriedly dodged away.

The two fought for more than ten rounds, and Liu Zhen thought to himself: Why don't I use a trick to take you?

He twisted his head on the point steel spear, took a big step back, pulled the body of the spear, and rushed forward and went straight to the Fangwu dantian.

Fang Wu hurriedly knocked it with a big knife, but who knew that the gun was pulled back with a "swish", and then Liu Zhen returned a jade belt wrapped around his waist and collapsed, as fast as a wind and lightning.

Fangwu broadsword went a little underground, and a Feihong jumped up in the sky, and the spear went down into the air with a "bang", and nothing collapsed.

At this time, Liu Zhen panicked in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that he couldn't even take such a trick, and he broke it with his light body kung fu.

He was thinking, the square house fell from above, the big knife danced like a rotating lotus, Xuan Xuan was empty, and went straight to Liu Zhen.

Liu Zhen has never seen this trick since he was born in his mother's womb, and his momentum is like a god falling into the clouds, so frightened that he dragged his gun and left.

I only heard a "pop" sound of the square house falling to the ground, and a knife smashed Liu Zhen's spear into two sections, which shocked Liu Zhen's tiger mouth and bleed.

Then Fang Wu hooked the lower plate with his toes, and a reverse kick Jin Zhong rolled up Liu Zhen in the air, and shouted: "Zhao family slave, you are waiting for the charm and spirit, how can you win, this king will beat you into the eighteenth layer of darkness today!" ”

After saying that, the big knife volleyed down in the air, and slashed at Liu Zhen's head.

At this moment, an arrow flew from the Song army, right on the left shoulder of Fang Wu, Fang Wu suddenly trembled, stretched out his right hand and pulled it out violently, who knew that this arrow was inserted very deeply, not to mention, it was a wolf tooth barbed hook arrow, Fang Wu used too much force, the arrow shaft was pulled out, but the arrow remained in the flesh, and the bright red blood gushed out from the wound, and the pain was unbearable.

He scolded: "Dog officer, what kind of hero is a hidden arrow hurting people!" After that, he gritted his teeth, put down the long knife, and pulled out a snowy six-ring steel knife from under his armpit with his right hand, and shook it in the wind.

He danced the knife with one arm and retreated backwards, and the western army immediately rushed forward, only to see the green steel knife in his hand blowing in the cold wind, "clacking" constantly, cutting the head of the western army is like chopping melons and vegetables, everywhere he goes, Song soldiers and Song generals run around, dare not fight.

Just now, Yang Keshi released an arrow to save Liu Zhen, but at this moment, he saw that this square house was still so brave, and he couldn't help but be stunned in the crowd.

Yijing shouted at this time: "Fang Wu, if you surrender at this moment, you can still be spared from death!" ”

I heard Fang Wu laugh, and then glared at a pair of fiery eyes, and said: "Dog Guanxiu wants to coax me, I can't wait to capture Naer, pick up the skin and cramp, cook the bones and eat the meat!" ”

When Yijing heard this, he was furious, ignoring the obstruction of everyone behind him, raised his horse lance and rushed to the front, "Fang Wu, your death time has come, look at the lance!" ”

He swept straight to the neck of the square house, and the square house came with a green cloud horse, let go of the horse lance, turned sideways, and made a white crane spread its wings alone, a steel knife slashed down obliquely, and Yijing hurriedly drew the lance shelf, and the two soldiers collided, and the sparks splashed.

The two of them fought for more than twenty rounds, and Fang Wu gradually felt powerless, and the blood on his left arm was gushing, soaking through his armor and filling his combat boots.

He felt a sharp pain in his chest, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down, his whole body was like a fire, and he was weak and weak, but even so, Yijing couldn't fight him.

At this time, Yang Keshi passed an order, and suddenly the western army soldiers surrounded them all to fight, poor Fangwu was known as the King of the Eight Forces, and finally because the arrow wound was too serious, bleeding too much, his face was like yellow paper, and he felt dizzy, the sky is the earth, the earth is the sky, the chest is hot and the lungs are swollen, the sound of "wow" blood spurted out of the mouth, and the sky swirled for a while, and he fell to the ground.

The officers and soldiers of the Western Army immediately swarmed on the ants, and the thief army also went up, wanting to snatch back the Fang House, but here Yang Keshi ordered to raise the reward again, and the Western Army rushed forward like crazy, and finally overwhelmed the thief army and came to the front of the Fang House.

There were many Western soldiers, so they all thought about it, and where to capture it alive was a good battle achievement, so they hacked Fang Wu to death one after another, and rushed up to snatch Fang Wu's corpse together, even if they grabbed a piece of Fang Wu's meat, they could exchange it for a bounty.

Later, Yang Keshi saw the soldiers wringing into a ball, and he was so angry that he moved forward with a horizontal knife, and shouted: "Get out of here!" If there is another robber, behead immediately! ”

When his words fell, the robbed Western Army dispersed and stood aside, Yang Keshi looked carefully at the eight kings of the Fang family, and he was already unrecognizable, but he still had a fragmented body.

He asked his soldiers to take off a few pairs of cloth armor from the dead corpses on the battlefield, wrapped the broken body, and picked up the big knife and Qingguang steel knife from the square house, and prepared to send them to Tong Guan to ask for a reward.

Then the western army will press the door ridge together, chase and kill Xiahou Cheng and others, the thief army finally because the back slope is too steep, the front army lost, the rear army did not continue, and fled to the rear.

At this time, several other battlefields in Jianmenling also benefited, Xin Xingzong, Yang Weizhong, Wang Lian, Liu Guangshi and others led troops to slash and kill, and they only cared about killing people all over the mountains.

After a while, the cavalry horses on the main road were already full of thieves' heads, and the infantry also picked up the heads of the thieves' generals to the tips of their spears, and some Western troops were chasing the female soldiers, all the way into the jungle, and the sound of screams came from time to time.

At this moment, the dead bodies on the ground were scattered all over the place, and the blood of the cavity flowed together into the ravine, drifting bloody, and the people who were not dead were struggling and moaning, crying out to the heavens and the earth, so miserable.

After half a day, the mountain range that had been fighting for several days was finally captured by the Song army, and the Song army broke through the Jianmenling Pass like a tidal wave, and rushed into the North Mountain Pass like a group of wild horses running wildly, and killed in the direction of Bangyuan Cave.

When he could already see the cave from afar, Tong Guan immediately ordered to reorganize the army on the spot.

He discussed with Zhao Kai: "Your Highness, the thief chief Fang La lives deep in the cave, the forest is dense and the cliffs are dangerous, our army should not enter rashly, the minister still burns the mountain according to His Royal Highness's plan, so that the forest is destroyed, and the cave appears, so that the thief has no hidden place, and my army can go straight to the thief's den!" ”

Zhao Kai's expression was a little numb and hasty, it was really too tragic to kill all the way, his legs trembled several times, and he almost wanted to fall off the horse and wanted to return to the camp, but it was really difficult to speak in front of these generals, so he barely insisted until now.

However, at this moment, he had already killed in front of the Gangyuan Cave, and seeing that he was about to capture the thief's head, he unconsciously lifted his spirits, and immediately said: "Okay, good, burn the mountain, burn the mountain!" ”

Tong Guan said yes, and then ordered, the Song army began to light fires everywhere, it was summer, the artemisia grass had not yet rotted, pine, cedar, cypress, and bamboo were all flammable, and in an instant, the smoke was billowing all over the mountain, and the flames were blazing.

In the dense forest, the grass house on the hillside, the artemisia gate is as dense as a hill tomb, the mountain wind blows, all are burned by the flames, help the source cave to set fire on the mountains on all sides, after a while, it is a sea of fire.

In a short period of time, fires broke out in all directions of Bangyuan Cave, and the green pines and cypresses, ancient vines and trees on various hills, canyons, and stone flats were burned into a forest of fire.

The black and heavy smoke filled the Bangyuan Cave area, and the fire became more and more vigorous, the mountains and rocks cracked, the land turned red, and the houses were in ruins.

Officers and soldiers from all walks of life, watching the fire, guarding against where the thieves are coming out, are ready to intercept, search, surround, and hunt and kill!
