"How much time we have left."

A sentence that seemed to be headless and brainless, but Jia Mu instantly understood what Wang Ping was thinking. Combined with the current situation, Wang Ping naturally asked how much time he had to rest. Objectively speaking, with the current situation of the flying army, even if there is no pursuer to drive it away, there is no way to continue to move forward, and what the flying army needs most at present is to rest, so that the wounded and the fighters who are suffering from altitude sickness can get a respite.

"Two days, at most." Jamu smiled bitterly.

Wang Ping's brows furrowed.

The time was about the same as he had expected, based on the time it would take for the Qiang to get around to the front. Wang Ping and Jia Mu agreed that the probability of the Qiang people detouring and intercepting in advance can be ignored, and tonight's sneak attack shows that the Qiang people believe that the flying army is at the end of the crossbow, and even the strength to escape has gone, and they firmly believe that they can complete their work in one battle, in this case, there is no reason for the Qiang people to divide their troops and trek for two days to make a detour to intercept.

Two days was not enough time to make a big difference in the situation of the troops, and they embarked on the road home with a relatively relaxed attitude. However, Wang Ping himself also knew in his heart that if he continued to stay in this plateau and mountainous area where there was a shortage of food and medicine, it would be difficult for the flying army to recover substantially, and it was very difficult to recover some physical strength.

"Suzhi," Wang Ping looked at Jia Mu and said, "You said that mountain sickness was the most obvious at the beginning, and then gradually lessened. ”

"Yes."

"Have you experienced it?" Wang Ping was a little suspicious in his eyes, and he admired Jia Mu's talent, learning, and wisdom, but he got along with Jia Mu along the way, and the other party obviously lacked actual combat experience in the army, and he only realized that mountain sickness was a symptom when it appeared on a large scale, so he didn't seem to be a person who had relevant experience.

Whether Jia Mu's words are accurate or not, it may be directly related to the life and death of the team, so Wang Ping is not cautious.

"I heard that." Jia Mu didn't hide the fact that he lacked relevant experience, and this kind of thing couldn't be hidden, seeing that Wang Ping's face was half dark, Jia Mu said seriously: "The mountain sickness is gradually decreasing, and I heard it from my father. My father didn't say much, but his words were almost certain to hit, and he would never be untargeted. ”

Wang Ping's tone was a little pale, and he nodded: "In this case, we will rest for two days before leaving." ”

Jia Xu has not been in the Deer Collar for a long time, but he was personally caught by the Dragon Collar and is relatively more familiar. Wang Ping has the impression that Jia Xu is indeed the kind of existence that does not speak much, but is unfathomable, and with Jia Xu's temperament, he is indeed not the kind of person who is open-mouthed.

So he stopped questioning and chose to believe Jamu's words.

In fact, he couldn't think of any other choice than to believe in Jamu.

Jamu took his leave and left.

But it didn't take long for him to turn back again, his face pale, and his body involuntarily trembled slightly.

Wang Ping asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It just occurred to me that we might have missed something......"

"Straight to the point."

"We were too optimistic about the threat and ignored some potential enemies."

"Who?"

"Qiang." Jamu took a deep breath.

Wang Ping's color changed slightly, and what Jia Mu said naturally would not be those Qiang people chasing behind.

"Will the Plateau Qiang people make a move? They have nothing to do with the Liangzhou Army, right? ”

"They really have nothing to do with the Liangzhou Army, and they don't have to obey the orders of the Liangzhou Army, but the Qiang people in Liangzhou do." Jia Mu sighed: "Even if the connection is not close, they are all Qiang people after all, they have a common belief and civilization, and even some Qiang tribes in Liangzhou originally moved from here, and the chasing soldiers dared to chase through Qilian Mountain, one is to show that they do not think we are difficult to deal with, and the other is to show that they believe that the Qiang people here are not threatening, and they can even get help from the tribes here if necessary." ”

"We are a tired foreign army with only a few hundred men, and we have no friendship with the Qiang people."

"If the Qiang people in Liangzhou ask the Qiang people here to help, you say, what reason do they have not to help?"

Wang Ping realized the seriousness of the problem and subconsciously clenched his fists.

At present, the situation of the flying army is already very difficult, if it is just to deal with the pursuit of the Qiang people in Liangzhou, there is still a good chance to get rid of the pursuers and return to the deer leader. However, if the Qiang people of the plateau join in and intercept and kill the remnants of the flying army, the possibility of the flying army breaking through alive will be very small. In order to avoid falling into the siege of the Qiang people on the plateau, the best way is naturally to leave as soon as possible and enter the Yizhou realm. It's just that the troops are now hungry and exhausted, and they are tossed by altitude sickness to the point that they only have half a life left, how can they go?

"You have to rest, and if you force the march now, a lot of people will die on the road." Wang Ping said categorically.

Jia Mu knew that this was true, mountain sickness was not a joke, he was uncomfortable to death when he traveled lightly, and he needed to carry equipment, care for the wounded, and enter the battle at any time.

In all fairness, in terms of the troops' willpower, quality, hardship and hard work, and other characteristics, the flying army is simply impeccable. It is a miracle that the troops have been killed in battle, a large number of wounded or sick (mountain sickness) for so many days in the field without food, clothing, and medicine, and that nearly half of the troops have been killed, a large number of wounded or sick (mountain sickness), and only 20% of the actual personnel who can fight are left.

This unit has refreshed Jamu's perception of elite troops.

Legend has it that the Liangzhou army is also brave and fearless, relying on war horses and simple armor and weapons to lay a great reputation, especially the Liangzhou iron cavalry, the resistance to the Shandong princes coalition army is fearless, is recognized as the elite in the world, as a Liangzhou people Jia Mu is often proud, often think that the Liangzhou iron cavalry is invincible. But after getting along with Wudang Feijun day and night, the invincible image of Liangzhou Iron Cavalry in his mind has been quietly shaken.

He has never been out of office, nor has he had the opportunity to get along with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry for a long time, watching the Xiliang Iron Cavalry fight, compared with the legendary Iron Cavalry, the image of the Wudang Flying Army is more vivid and real. What's more, now the life and death of him and several younger siblings depends on whether the flying army can take them out smoothly, and everyone is a grasshopper tied to a rope, and it is easy to give birth to feelings of solidarity.

Feeling that his life was seriously threatened, Jamu's vest swished coldly.

Damn it!

Stimulated by the desire to survive, Jamu entered an unprecedented state of calm, and his brain was fully opened.

"It is only possible for the Qiang people on the plateau to participate in the war, but they have to be guarded against."

"When we first turned to the west, we sent people to the territory for help, and if they hadn't been all intercepted and killed, the territory should have received the news by now. But the Zhulu Territory is in the eastern part of Yizhou, even if it is mobilized immediately, it will be difficult to arrive in time to help, I have heard you say that you are the best at mountain warfare in the Zhulu Army, and besides, the territory cannot determine which way we take to enter Yizhou......"

"So we can't count on reinforcements, we have to save ourselves......"

"The whole army rested for two days, it can't be longer, and when the time comes, it must go. The Qiang people in Liangzhou have just suffered a big loss, and they may soon send someone to contact the Qiang people of the plateau, in case they are blocked by the Qiang people of the plateau, everyone will not survive. ”

"It's also very troublesome to chase soldiers, the enemy is strong and I am weak, so we have to weaken them as much as possible!"

Jamu gritted his teeth and said, "We have a lot to do!" ”

Wang Ping naturally used Jia Mu as a temporary staff officer and asked, "Say, how to do it?" ”
