Chapter 938: Return to the team
What Wang Pingbu is taking now is the route taken by Jia Xu's youngest son, Jia Wan's team.
When I decided to take this road, I was able to respond or rescue in time if Jia Wanbu encountered danger. Now it has been confirmed that Jia's visit to the ministry is in trouble, so naturally there is no reason to sit idly by. Although he was facing a Qiang tribe, interfering was likely to make the headquarters pay a heavy price, and Wang Ping would not hesitate at all.
Wang Ping is a typical soldier.
Bringing Jia Xu's family back to the territory safely is the responsibility of the flying army.
Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and in order to complete the tasks entrusted by the territory, Wang Ping does not hesitate to fight everything.
The captives confessed that they came from a medium-sized tribe with more than 5,000 people, and more than 2,000 people were able to fight, excluding the old and weak, women and children. Such a big vote is obviously not something that the remnants of the Flying Army can contend with head-on, and the goal of the Flying Army is to save people, not to fight with these Qiang people, the biggest difficulty is how to find out the Jia Wan team from the reckless plateau, so as not to alarm the Qiang people.
Wang Ping quickly drew a general topographical map of the surrounding area.
On the topographic map, the current location of the headquarters, the location of the tribe, the forbidden pass and other information are readily available. The above information was based on confessions given by the captives, and given that the captives were generally of low status and had limited knowledge of the situation, and had been away from the tribe for several days, the accuracy of the information concerning the movement of personnel may be questionable. However, objective information such as topography and roads should not be much different. Since some of the Qiang people escaped, the tribe would soon receive the news, and the Fei Army did not have time to verify them one by one, so they could only use them first.
After encircling several areas where Jia Wanbu might be hiding, the flying army was reduced to zero.
Each team is responsible for searching a small area, and after completing the search, they rush to the agreed assembly point to rendezvous. As for how to deal with encountering the Qiang people on the way, each team acted cheaply. Expanding the scope of the search is naturally risky, but time is pressing, and Wang Ping has no choice but to find the trapped Jia Wanbu as soon as possible.
Things are not going well.
Two days later, the squads arrived at the assembly point one after another, but found nothing.
Several flying squads encountered the Qiang search team, and there were skirmishes, and the battle loss was not large, but the amount of search force invested by the Qiang people and the rigor of the search network were impressive, and everyone was deeply worried about the current situation of the Jia visit department.
The last team returns with an important piece of information.
The team learned from the two captured lone Qiang people: "Sheep thieves" were discovered by the search team yesterday, and the search team successfully surrounded them in a mountain forest. Most of the nearby road passes were blocked by the Qiang tribe, and the Qiang people believed that the remnants of the "sheep thieves" could not escape far away, and must be hiding somewhere nearby, so they increased their search forces, hoping to find them as soon as possible.
Jia Wan is the youngest son of the Jia family, ten years old, and the boy mentioned by the Qiang people is obviously Jia Wan.
Knowing that there were only two people left to protect Jia's visit, and all the other robes were killed, Wang Ping's face was gloomy and terrifying.
Jia Wan's situation is even more serious than imagined!
Although we know the location of the last battle between Jia Wanbu and the Qiang people, the plateau is undulating and the terrain is complicated, and it is not very difficult to find two or three people hiding in the mountainous area, and it is also necessary to avoid the Qiang search team that is constantly coming and going. What's more, this Qiang tribe already knew at this time that there were another batch of uninvited guests, and it was likely to be a "sheep thief" companion, and the combat power was also amazing, and it was inevitable to send additional troops, and it was even possible to ask for help from other tribes, and the longer the time dragged on, the more dangerous the flying army would be.
It's a must!
Wang Ping and Jia Mu decided to take the risk.
The area where Jia's last appearance was not a short distance from the Qiang tribe, and in order to facilitate the continuous search, the Qiang people set up temporary camps. More than 600 Qiang people set up camp here, searched during the day, and returned to the camp at night to rest, vowing to find the "sheep thief" to set an example.
That night, the Flying Army attacked the temporary camp of the search team.
Killing, arson, taking advantage of the chaos, the flying army is so familiar.
These Qiang people in the temporary camp obviously did not know that another group of Han people had appeared nearby, and their precautions were lax. The flying army came out of the darkness, and many Qiang people had become ghosts in a daze. The flying army was not brutal, and seeing that the Qiang people quickly came to their senses, they organized a counterattack and immediately retreated like a tide.
But the flying army didn't stop there.
When the Qiang camp gradually returned to calm, the Flying Army made a comeback.
The bones of the companions were not cold, the Qiang people raised their vigilance, and the second surprise attack of the flying army did not achieve much success, but only put more than a dozen people on the periphery, and by the way, put a few fires, and then had to retreat again. Although the losses of the Qiang people were not large, they were really frightened enough by the flying army, and it was not until the flying army retreated for a long time that the noise and shouting in the camp completely subsided.
Then came the third wave of raids.
In successive waves of attacks, the flying army mainly attacked and harassed and set fires, making the situation as chaotic as possible and building up a larger momentum, and the results were limited, adding up to less than 100 people. With the combat quality of the flying army, such a result is obviously not up to standard, but the purpose of constantly attacking is not to kill people, but to find companions.
Since there is no way to find Jia Wan and others, then simply create conditions for Jia Wan and others to take the initiative to return to the team.
At night, the shouts of killing and the light of fire are the best signals to guide the companions to return to the team.
Wang Ping's hard work was not in vain.
At the end of the third round of attacks, two Flying Army fighters took Jia Wan to find the large army.
The only two remaining Feijun were scarred and emaciated, but their backs were still straight, and the young Jia Wan was obviously tortured by the recent encounter, standing there for a long time without saying a word, trembling, until he was held in his arms by the brother who came in a hurry, and then he cried out.
The flying army that protected him was very dutiful, and Jia Wan was not injured at all, but perhaps it was because of this that seeing those who desperately protected him fall one by one, Jia Wan's heart was greatly impacted. After all, he was only a ten-year-old child, he had lived in a relatively quiet village before, he had never seen much blood, let alone experienced life and death, and it was not easy to follow the troops to transfer without collapsing.
Finding his companion, Wang Ping refused to stay for a moment.
The troops set off overnight and marched in the direction of Yizhou.
The temporary camp of the Qiang people was repeatedly attacked, and they did not dare to act rashly in a short time, so the flying army took advantage of the situation to advance at full speed and rushed to the intersection blocked by the Qiang people. Those intersections were originally to prevent the Jia Visiting Department from escaping, but knowing that there was not much left of the Jia Visiting Division, the remaining troops were naturally very limited, and they were unable to resist Wang Ping's attack. In addition, there were shouts and fires in the direction of the camp one after another, and the Qiang people who were responsible for blocking the intersection were in panic all day, and when they saw a large group of Han people killed, they had no intention of resisting and dispersed in a hurry.
By noon, the flying army had broken through four intersections one after another, and the momentum was like a bamboo.
However, the Qiang apparently quickly sensed the intentions of the flying army, and the tribe quickly sent reinforcements.
In the evening, a large number of Qiang warriors appeared on the way to the return of the flying army.
