Chapter 941: Spirit Ape Stream (I)
Gao Yuanqiang participated in the war in an all-round way, making the situation of the flying army even more dangerous.
The first to make a change was Sam Wolf Qiang.
Previously, the Wolf Qiang blatantly pursued and killed a few sheep, although the attack was unambiguous and repeatedly provided reinforcements, but the tribe's position on this matter was always an individual incident, and even the Wolf Qiang patriarch who was determined to leave the flying army was a little hesitant to come to the tribe to mobilize. For the patriarch, he must be responsible for the entire tribe, in order to hunt down the flying army, many clansmen have been broken, and it has also directly affected the production of the tribe, and the impact on the normal order of the tribe is bound to be more obvious.
Even if he is the patriarch, he must give the clansmen a reasonable explanation.
The Flying Army has proven their strength and has also demonstrated ghostly means that are extremely dangerous. Hitching up an entire tribe for a few sheep? It's no wonder that the clan elders don't jump out to stop it!
After receiving the warning, the people of the Wolf Qiang tribe no longer had these worries.
The messenger came from Tang Qiang, the largest of the many tribes near the border of Yizhou, with the faint air of a regional alliance leader. Since the Tang Qiang patriarch sent a message asking for interception, the nearby Qiang tribe should of course respond. Judging from the distribution of tribes, the wolf is the closest tribe to the flying army, if the wolf Qiang can not stop the flying army, or at least entangle the flying army until the reinforcements of other tribes arrive, this regional mobilization will be in vain.
Participate in the wolf's mobilization!
Wang Ping and others quickly felt the suffocating pressure.
With his familiarity with the terrain, Shen Wolf Qiang rushed to Mawangtan first to block the road for the flying army to return to Yizhou in the east.
Wang Ping had no choice but to lead his troops to attack.
In the battle of Mawangtan, the will to fight shown by the Wolf Qiang was unexpectedly firm, and the Qiang people suffered heavy losses, but they still fought to the death and did not retreat, and they dragged until the patriarch led people to arrive, and attacked back and forth. Although the flying army was not afraid of danger and forced a bloody way with its strong combat power, none of the more than 20 flying troops who were responsible for the broken back came back, counting the more than ten people killed in the frontal assault, and the remnants of the flying army were lost by one-third.
And that's just the beginning.
Seeing that it was difficult to block the footsteps of the flying army in the front, the patriarch of the wolf simply sent hundreds of clansmen to break into pieces, and rushed to the front of the flying army by copying the path. A few cold arrows suddenly flew while walking, or someone threw stones from a high place, or a trap appeared on the road, although these measures were difficult to cause much damage to the flying army, but they were really disgusting, and they also effectively slowed down the speed of the flying army.
Wang Ping and Jia Mu quickly sensed that something was wrong.
The more desperately the enemy tried to delay the flying army, the more danger was approaching.
The flying army was tired and hungry but did not dare to stay, and the whole army cheered up and helped the wounded robe to move forward with difficulty. Along the way, there were sporadic battles and small fights, until they entered a mountain stream, and the flying army once again faced a serious challenge.
The Spirit Ape Stream is the third important blocking point selected by Shenwolf Qiang after the Ranshi Mountain and Mawangtan.
There is a low mountain in the middle of the spirit ape stream, and the stream bred in the depths of the mountain stream is divided into two in the north of the low mountain, each winding around the low mountain for hundreds of meters, and finally meets again in the south of the low mountain, and then quietly runs into the distance. Surrounded by clear streams and lush forests, this low mountain becomes a paradise for nearby monkeys, which is why the locals call this place the Spirit Ape Stream.
I don't know how many years the monkeys have lived here, and the days have always been leisurely and clean.
It's a pity that their comfortable life was shattered on this day.
Taking advantage of the time gained by the tribesmen's resistance along the way, the chief of the Wolf Clan personally led 800 tribesmen to the Spirit Ape Stream, and the Qiang people unceremoniously expelled the monkeys, occupied this low mountain, and choked the way back of the flying army. The Qiang people even have time to rest for half a day, recuperate and recuperate.
Looking at each other, Wang Ping's face was terrifyingly gloomy.
Under the low mountain, there are paths on the east and west sides leading to the distance, but the trails are narrow, and the Qiang people have destroyed the road again, although it is not impassable, but the difficulty of walking is greatly increased. The greater threat was the Qiang themselves, who were eyeing the foot of the mountain, apparently not going to see the Flying Army pass.
This time, the other party's geographical advantage is greater than ever!
But the flying army had no choice, and if they hesitated for a moment, they might have the disaster of annihilation, so Wang Ping took the lead and led his troops to attack.
Fighting broke out again.
The Qiang archers halfway up the mountain struck first and condescendingly sniped the flying army.
Fortunately, the flying army is below Wang Ping, all of whom are good hunters in the mountains, and the mountain combat is like a fish in water, and the complex terrain of the mountain stream can also provide cover for the flying army to rush forward, but seeing the flying army jumping like flying among the rocks in the stream, avoiding most of the arrows, most of the arrows that can't be avoided can be blocked when there is no room for action. At the cost of a few arrows, he successfully bullied the Qiang people and started a melee battle with the Qiang people under the mountain, so that the mountain archers could no longer shoot as wildly as before.
More than 20 people in the second echelon where Jia Mu and the others were located concentrated all the bows and arrows that the flying army currently had, and rushed up with the first echelon to shoot at the Qiang archers. There are few archers in the flying army, but the quality is obviously superior, using the cover of the mountains and rocks at the bottom of the stream, echoing and cooperating with each other, although it is impossible to suppress the long-range offensive of the Qiang people, the containment effect is very obvious, the Qiang archers were shot and killed more than ten people one after another, and they dare not be as unscrupulous as before.
Wang Pingbu made an all-out assault, like a mad tiger, trying his best to open up a way for the whole army to escape.
Seeing that the clansmen fell one after another in hand-to-hand combat with the flying army, the patriarch of the wolf clan turned pale.
He really couldn't understand what kind of army this group of Han people was able to maintain such a strong combat effectiveness at this time, after breaking through the siege and fighting fiercely for days and days, and was so sleepy? The combat power and will to die shown by the flying army made the patriarch of the wolf a little cold, and the patriarch was reluctant to go into battle in person, but continued to increase troops down the mountain, delaying the rapid advance of the flying army.
No matter how brave the troops are, they are just meat on the chopping board after their energy is exhausted.
The patriarch believed that the flying army was already at the end of its strong crossbows, and it was purely dependent on one breath to fight against the Qiang people. As time passes, when the courage of flesh and blood can no longer support the tired body, this terrifying army will eventually come to an end, and achieve the battle of the wolf.
Although the Wolf Qiang suffered heavy losses in this battle, he could annihilate the "public enemy" alone, which would be of great benefit to the future development of the tribe. Under normal circumstances, he may not be willing to make such an exchange, but the situation is stronger than people, since the loss is irreparable, there is no way to find some income back as much as possible to make up for the loss.
The situation also seems to be moving in the direction he hoped.
Under the resistance of the Qiang people, the speed of the flying army's advance became slower and slower, and the casualties gradually climbed!
Although the actual loss is not too much, it is an indisputable fact that the flying army is gradually losing ground.
When he saw that Wang Ping's left arm was slashed and his footsteps staggered, the Ginseng Wolf Patriarch was finally convinced that this difficult Han army had reached the end of its rope and had no possibility of breaking through the Spirit Ape Stream with its own ability!
At this moment, a mutation suddenly occurred.
Several trap beasts appeared in the Qiang archer array!
appeared together, and there were several black-robed people!
