Chapter 925: Escape Again (Part I)

A group of Flying Army soldiers surrounded three Han men and women and walked towards Wang Ping and Jia Mu.

These three men and women of the Han family are naturally Jia Mu's three younger siblings.

According to the plan, Jia Ji, Jia Wan and Jia Zhu continued to flee under the protection of a flying army team, and after leaving the mountainous area, they took different routes back to Yizhou. In the past two days, the flying army sneaked up on the Qiang people, in addition to killing and injuring the enemy as much as possible, and did not forget to take advantage of the chaos to catch some prisoners and come back, and learn about the movements of the Qiang people from the mouths of the prisoners, as well as the distribution of the Qiang people on the plateau.

Due to the fact that the enemy was outnumbered and the flying army continued to suffer from altitude sickness, most of the raids and harassment battles came to an end, and almost poured out of the nest as they had just done, and there were very few actions that resulted in killing and wounding hundreds of people, and naturally there were not many prisoners caught. In addition, most of the Liangzhou Qiang people who were captured knew very little about the Qiang people on the plateau, and the information that the flying army could grasp was actually quite limited.

But in any case, the Qiang coalition forces were already aware of the confrontation, detour, and reinforcements.

The Qiang people took a three-pronged approach, and the response of the flying army was to scatter and flee.

Several escape routes were carefully selected based on the information available.

However, due to limited intelligence and difficulty in ensuring accuracy, it is uncertain whether these carefully selected routes are safe. Wang Ping said that the four Jia siblings should be able to return half of it, and it is for this reason.

"Big brother."

Jia Ji and others came to say goodbye to Jia Mu, thinking that there were many dangers on the way to escape, and I didn't know how many of the four brothers and sisters would survive in the end. Jia Mu and Jia Ji are both adults, and they are brothers, and their emotions are well controlled, Jia Zhu, who ranks third, is a daughter, and there are tears in her eyes at this time, but she didn't let the tears come out, just grabbed Jia Wan's hand tightly and comforted the younger brother who couldn't help but tremble because he was afraid.

"Don't be afraid." Jia Mu touched Jia Wan's head and said, "Keep walking, don't stop on the road, the eldest brother is behind." ”

Jia Wan's body trembled even more.

He wanted to remind Jia Mu to be careful, but when the words came to his lips, he turned around and said, "We'll see you in Lucheng." ”

A smile appeared on Jamu's face, "Okay." ”

When the Jia brothers and sisters said goodbye, Wang Ping was not idle. He called several Flying Army generals aside and told them again that they must protect the Jia brothers and sisters. The flying army is all the soldiers he brought out, and he has followed him to fight in the north and south for many years, and he is quite courageous, and he promises one by one that he will protect the Jia brothers and sisters even if he sacrifices his life.

"It's getting late, let's go." Jamudao.

"Big brother, take care."

"Take care."

The flying army, who was responsible for escorting the Jia brothers and sisters, left with the three of them, and then naturally divided into three squads.

Each team has about 20 people, and the three teams together are less than 100 people, which is very different from the more than 300 people left behind. However, these three squads are all capable of fighting, and they are light and fast, with the strong combat effectiveness of the flying army, as long as they do not encounter a large group of Qiang people on the road, or are unlucky to break into a Qiang tribe station that they don't know, the chance of getting out of danger safely is still very high.

On the contrary, the situation of the large forces is even more worrying.

The seriously wounded or the flying troops who have not yet recovered from altitude sickness are all in the brigade.

When they set out from Longling, there were nearly 1,200 people in the flying army, but until now, there are only more than 400 people left in the brigade plus several squads, and nearly two-thirds of the troops have been damaged in battle, and the casualties can be described as extremely tragic. In fact, when the Qilian Mountains were just crossed, there were more than 700 people in the flying army, although they stopped to rest in recent days, but the lack of wounded medicine and altitude sickness in the troops, especially the latter, made many wounded soldiers unable to continue to support, many wounded soldiers did not fall on the road, but walked the last journey of their lives in this temporary camp.

Many wounded soldiers who thought they would survive lost their body temperature here.

Mountain sickness is terrible, and even a special unit like the Flying Army is not immune.

There are not many seriously wounded survivors, but don't forget that they still have to take on the task of breaking off.

Including the main general Wang Ping, the main force of the flying army of more than 300 people was like a piece of delicious fat, luring the Qiang coalition army to besiege them. There is a main force to attract the attention of the Qiang people, and the three flying army squads that left ahead of schedule have hope to avoid the eyes and ears of the Qiang people, secretly cross Chen Cang, and return to Yizhou without blood.

The figures of the three teams quickly disappeared at the corner of the mountain road.

"Let's do it too." Jamudao.

Wang Ping nodded, "Okay." ”

At the sound of an order, the flying army in charge of the broken rear quickly moved and pushed down the stones that had been piled up in the dangerous place for the past two days, blocking the narrow pass. In this way, some people waved machetes, cut down several nearby trees, and pushed them horizontally and vertically around the pass, increasing the difficulty of the enemy's pursuit.

Seeing that the intersection was sealed, the Qiang people still didn't understand that the Han army was going to escape.

By this time, several Qiang leaders also felt a little taste, and the Han army rested here for two days, obviously waiting for the altitude sickness to gradually subside. Although the two-day period is a little shorter, and the subsidence of altitude sickness varies from person to person, and it is impossible for everyone to recover so quickly, but with these two days of rest, the most uncomfortable period of altitude sickness has basically passed, and there will be more choices whether to fight or flee.

There are actually people in the Han army who know about mountain sickness!

This was something that the Qiang leaders had never imagined, but it had come to this point, and they could only find a way to make amends.

According to the itinerary, it won't be long before the Qiang warriors who detour to outflank them will be able to reach the retreat of the Han army and send the warriors of the nearby tribes, and the Qiang people have also connected with the Qiang tribes on the plateau, and they are about to send troops to help.

The leader of the Qiang people sent people to clear the obstacles of the pass, and on the other hand, he sent strong warriors to climb from the cliff and go around to the rear of the pass to pursue first, trying to disrupt the Han army and buy time for the large army.

After a few days of confrontation, the Qiang people also had a good understanding of the terrain, and the only way to bypass the pass nearby was the road that the 500 warriors had walked when they launched a general attack two days earlier, that is, they climbed from the bottom of a cliff to the top of the cliff. Although the 500 warriors were almost wiped out that time, many warriors fell from the cliff and fell into a blur of flesh and blood, and the smell of blood at the bottom of the cliff has not dissipated to this day, but seeing that the Han army spread their legs and slipped away, and the progress of clearing the pass was slow, the Qiang people naturally chose to take the nearest and most convenient road.

The Qiang warriors climbed to the top of the cliff, but were once again met with a head-on attack.

Dozens of flying troops came out of their hiding places, quickly cut through the chaos, and cut down more than a dozen Qiang warriors who had reached the top first, and the Qiang people hanging halfway up the mountain were in a dilemma. However, when they saw the bodies of their fallen comrades and the stones on the top of the cliff falling one after another, the Qiang people did not dare to hesitate and retreated to the bottom of the cliff as quickly as possible. It's a pity that the cliff is dozens of meters high and you can't retreat, and something keeps falling on your head, and there are constantly unlucky people who are hit, screaming and falling off the cliff, reproducing the tragedy of two days ago.

The soldiers of the ambushed flying army did not like to fight, and immediately retreated after this ticket, and chased the brigade away.
