From the side of the Hexi Corridor, you will cross the Qilian Mountains and enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has a steep and changeable terrain, dense mountains and rivers, complex terrain, and due to altitude, the air in the plateau area is thin and the oxygen content is lower than that in the plain area, which makes it difficult for many people to adapt for a while. For those who move quickly into the highlands, there are many unexpected challenges that must be faced.

The Wudang Flying Army took a short break in a mountain forest.

Wang Ping climbed a mountain bag and looked into the distance, his face was solemn.

Without a flying army, they are constantly in trouble and in trouble.

Repelling the pursuit of the Qiang warriors of Hexi under the ridge and crossing the Qilian Mountain, I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief, but this was not the case. I don't know if it was because the Liangzhou army's pursuit order was resolute enough, or because the Fei army had a conflict along the way and killed and injured a large number of Qiang people, which completely angered the Qiang people.

The Qiang people are good at mountain warfare, are more familiar with the nearby terrain, and travel lightly, which is difficult for the flying army to get rid of.

If you can't get rid of it, you can only speed up.

The Wudang Flying Army broke through the siege and fought in the mountains and fields for several days, and the wounded troops increased more and more in the continuous battle, so they had to arrange more people to carry the wounded robes forward, and the physical strength of the flying army was extremely demanding. The dry food carried by the flying army has long been exhausted, and the soldiers can only find food from the mountains as much as possible between marches or battles, and the flying army is basically good hunters, but no matter how good the hunters are, it takes enough time, and the pursuers obviously will not let the flying army live comfortably, plus it is relatively difficult to find food in the cold area on the top of the mountain.

Recently, the Wudang Flying Army has not been able to get enough food supplies.

With limited food, priority had to be given to the wounded and Jamu and others.

In many cases, the flying army could only fight hungry, run, or carry the wounded on their backs. Fortunately, the soldiers of the flying army are accustomed to hardships and hard work, although the situation is difficult and hungry, the soldiers can also enjoy the hardships. Occasionally, I could hear these people scolding the vulgar words that were difficult to get into the elegant hall, cursing the Qiang people so that they didn't even have enough time to find food, and then the crowd scolded the mother angrily, and then came down and laughed inexplicably.

There is a shortage of food, and everyone can overcome it for the time being.

The more troublesome thing is that the medicine is also used up.

After days of fighting and rapid marching, half of the flying troops were wounded, and dozens of them were seriously wounded. Although the Yimin generally know how to find herbs from the mountains, first, they may not be able to find the herbs they need in a hurry, and second, even if they can find the herbs they need in time, the medicinal effect is difficult to compare with the medicines prepared by the Zhulu doctors.

You must know that the leader of the Zhulu Ling Physician is a genuine master pharmacist.

Zhang Zhongjing took the lead in preparing the wound medicine, I am afraid that there are few people in the world who dare to say that they can compare.

The Flying Army is in terrible condition.

The Qiang were in hot pursuit, and the lack of food and medicine was not enough to crush this battle-hardened team. After all, it is a special type of troops, and what really bothers the flying army the most is the pervasive altitude sickness.

Although the troops had been crawling in the mountains for several days, they were still too fast to enter the plateau.

Rapidly entering the plateau at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters and being exposed to a low-pressure and low-oxygen environment is a common disease unique to the plateau. The vast majority of people in the team have symptoms such as headaches, tiredness, insomnia, and difficulty breathing to varying degrees. Under normal circumstances, there should be symptoms of loss of appetite, but recently the flying army has been short of food, and food is the priority to protect the wounded, and no one cares about the loss of appetite.

Altitude sickness is not transferred by personal will, strong and strong as a flying army, unbearable or unbearable. Headaches, heart palpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, nausea, and even vomiting tortured the team to the point of misery. Since the day before yesterday, more and more fighters have developed severe symptoms of altitude sickness. There was less laughter and scolding in the ranks, replaced by long silences, and occasional retching and heavy gasps.

Many could no longer march continuously on their own.

Wang Ping had to give the order to slow down the march.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the pursuers also seem to have suffered altitude sickness snipers and slowed down.

Jamu was supported by two flying soldiers and climbed the hill with difficulty.

Although the six arts of the gentleman include "shooting" and "royal", most of the scholars of this era can draw their swords and dance, and they can also burst out in times of crisis, but after all, scholars are scholars, and they lack enough hardship and hardship to sharpen, and their performance under extreme conditions is often inferior to the lowest soldiers.

This is the case with Jamu.

Compared to a few days ago, Jamu is very embarrassed now.

His face was black, his lips were purple, his eyes were dull, and his chest placket was obviously stained with traces of vomit, and he was haggard. Jia Mu's younger siblings were not much better, if it weren't for Feijun's support all the way, and even took turns to carry them forward, the Jia siblings would not have come here.

"Suzhi, what do you do when you get up?"

Seeing that Jia Mu, who was supposed to be lying down, followed, Wang Ping was taken aback and hurriedly greeted him.

"It's not a time to rest."

Jia Mu smiled bitterly, opened his mouth and gasped for several breaths, and continued: "In the current situation, what is the general's good plan? ”

"No, one step at a time." Wang Ping said calmly that he was fine, but his expression was still calm, and there was a little coldness in the depths of his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "It is difficult for us, and it is also difficult for us to chase the soldiers, it depends on who can hold out longer." At this time, it is endurance and will, and since it is a competition, there is no reason why we will lose. ”

This remark seems to be a bit of a delusional confidence.

Why do you think that you can't lose if you fight for endurance and will?

But Jamu did not question the slightest thought.

After getting along these days, he has already seen that Wang Ping is young and old, and he doesn't speak much, but what he says is by no means targeted, and Wang Ping is not the type who can talk big and raise his strength. He dared to say this, which showed that the endurance and will of the flying army could stand the test.

No one knows this force better than Wang Ping.

This is indeed the case.

The Flying Army is made up of Yi people who make a living by hunting.

Compared with the Han people who were engaged in farming, the income of the Yi people in the mountains was not stable, and there was often a shortage of green and yellow. In order to obtain food, the people often took great risks and trekked long distances to challenge powerful beasts, and this work required not only force and courage, but also perseverance and the endurance to fight continuously or transfer if necessary.

Even if the Flying Army was currently short of food and medicine, and was being pursued by enemies several times his number, Wang Ping never worried that the Flying Army would be the first to collapse. Altitude sickness was directly ignored by him, because it had the same impact on both the enemy and us, and it was not only the Flying Army that needed to be faced.

Hard-working is not the talent of the flying army, but it is the instinct of the mountain people.

This unit was formed and trained by his own hands, and together they had experienced so many hard battles, Wang Ping firmly believed that under any circumstances, the soldiers of the Flying Army would follow him to fight until the end of their lives.

"The Flying Army is indeed strong, but something is wrong." Jamudao.

"How?" Wang Ping's eyes lit up.

He knew that although Jia Mu lacked experience in the army, his judgment of the general situation was very accurate, at least much better than him.

"What we encountered was mountain sickness, the Qiang people mostly live in the high mountains, they are considered locals, and the impact of mountain sickness on the Qiang people is less than ours, so they are not affected at all." Jamu gasped.

Wang Ping was stunned: "There is such a thing? ”

"Yes." Jia Mu smiled bitterly: "We only have half a life left, why haven't the Qiang people caught up for a decisive battle?" ”

Wang Ping's heart was cold!
