Chapter 1007: Enclave Defense (14)

After rescuing Jia Zhu, Wang Ping's team marched to the enclave overnight.

As an important general of the Chase Deer Territory, Wang Ping certainly knew the attitude of the territory towards the plateau enclave. If you can't keep it, you can either ask the court to take over or give up. When the enclave was laid down and the system was announced, the ownership was lost or changed, and it would not be silent. But the flying army team has been out for so many days, and there is no news from the enclave, and the most reasonable explanation is that the enclave is likely to be still in the hands of the deer leader.

I know I can't keep it, why don't I give up?

Wang Ping wasn't sure why, but with his understanding of the lord's temperament, it was likely to have something to do with their squad!

This choice has a price, and it is likely to be a tragic price, even Wang Ping can see it, and the wise and wise lord and Xu Shu can naturally see it, but they still did it. In such a situation, they did not abandon the team, but chose to stick to it, leaving the only hope of providing nearby support for the team.

It is worthy of being the master of the short-term protection......

Wang Ping was very moved, but more guilty.

Because of his willfulness and unwillingness, because of his thirst for the honor and future of the flying army, he dared to face the storm, even if he died on the battlefield, he had no regrets. It can indirectly lead the deer to trap and defend the enclave to meet the siege of the plateau Qiang, which Wang Ping did not expect in advance.

His original idea was to lead a team to come out to find it, even if it was annihilated by the Qiang, it would only be a loss of a team, and those seriously wounded who remained in the enclave would be used as seeds to continue the flying army. In the end, if they really can't find it, or finally find Jia Zhu, the team can get closer to the Yizhou border, and they don't need to return to the enclave again. For example, now, Wang Ping's squad can enter the territory of the Han Dynasty by traveling about 200 miles eastward.

As long as you enter Yizhou, security is no longer a problem.

This was the best option for the Flying Squad, and it was the original plan.

But Wang Ping changed his plans.

Since he guessed that his comrade-in-arms Pao Ze would defend the stronghold for them, it was impossible for Wang Ping to throw his hands away anyway. As far as the battle of the siege of the plateau Qiang is concerned, the strength of the squad is negligible. The enclave really can't be defended, and they can't change anything if they go, but they may be needless to sacrifice, but Wang Ping still has no hesitation.

This is not only Wang Ping's decision, but also the decision of all members of the squad.

Wang Ping informed his soldiers of his reasoning and left it up for his soldiers to decide whether or not to follow him back to the enclave. It is not Wang Ping's personality to be so sympathetic to his subordinates, he is known for his strict management of the army, and there is no condition to speak of his practice, but Feijun has recently lost too many good sons, and when he realized that he would most die when he went back, he broke an exception.

Righteousness slaughters more dogs.

Yimin is often despised by the Han people in terms of education, but in terms of blood and righteousness, Yimin has never been inferior to others. What, ants still steal life? It's a naked humiliation for them. Even if there are no Bai He people, it may be because they are stuck in the stronghold, and they are trapped, they will still rush to the battlefield.

Wang Ping's soldiers did not disappoint Wang Ping.

What kind of choice the flying army soldiers will make is actually expected by Wang Ping.

What really surprised Wang Ping was Jia Zhu's choice.

After everyone expressed their attitude, Wang Ping planned to send two flying soldiers to protect Jia Zhu and return to Yizhou first. It is the responsibility of a soldier to sacrifice his life and see death as his home, it is the responsibility of a man, not a woman. But Jia Zhu actually rejected Wang Ping's kindness, saying that he wanted to rush to the enclave with the team.

"Why?" Wang Ping asked.

"This matter may have started because of me, and how can I stay out of it." Jia Zhu said.

Jia Zhu's attitude surprised Wang Ping very much, this is not like an ordinary fifteen-year-old girl can do.

What's even more commendable is that it was Jia Xu's daughter who said this.

Wang Ping and Jia Xu don't have many opportunities to get in touch, but they are not few.

Regardless of Jia Xu's resourcefulness, Jia Xu is obviously failing in terms of integrity, a typical character who is greedy for life and life, and the initial performance of the Jia brothers on the way to escape is also self-preservation first, and it is not until the situation deteriorates that the fighting spirit is awakened. In the eyes of a military general like Wang Ping, he really despises Jia Xu's greed for life and fear of death, but now that he is a family, it is difficult to say anything.

The father is afraid of death, but the daughter is much more atmospheric than ordinary women, which is really rare!

Wang Ping agrees with Jia Zhu's courage.

can agree with it, Wang Ping can't take a woman with no combat power to the battlefield, and insist on letting her leave.

"You're a burden." Wang Ping unceremoniously pointed out the facts.

Jia Zhu was speechless and could only accept the result of being repatriated.

But when it came time to separate, another unexpected situation arose.

The horse thief has caught up!

The horse thief was deflated last night, and was very angry, and after dawn he rose to catch up. There are also tracking masters among the horse thieves, and there are war horses on their feet, and it is a matter of time before they catch up with Wang Ping's team. Although Wang Ping's team climbed the mountain in time to dodge, the horse thieves' desire for revenge also seemed to be very strong, and they refused to give up.

After suffering a loss, the horse thief no longer dared to fight with the flying army easily, and followed from afar to find an opportunity.

The area where the two sides met was mainly flatland, with only a few bare low hills, and there were no continuous herds, and the horse thieves clearly saw this. Not to mention anything else, it is difficult to find food on the bald mountain, and there is no water source, knowing that it is impossible for the flying army team to stay on the mountain all the time, ready to solve it on the flat ground.

In this case, Wang Ping naturally did not dare to let Jia Zhu leave the brigade.

The Flying Army squad hid horse thieves in the mountains, with no food and only a handful of water bladders to quench their thirst. It was baked by the sun from the morning, and stayed up until the sun set, and the drinking water ran out, and the flying army was tormented by thirst, hunger and fatigue. Wang Ping knew that he couldn't stay on the mountain, and if he stayed any longer, the whole army would be annihilated, but he couldn't fight the horse thief hard, so he sneaked out at night that night.

On the way out, he encountered a horse thief patrol, killed him, and seized two horses, but the hiding had been leaked, and the horse thief brigade heard the news. The flying army broke through and killed more than 20 horse thieves, but the horse thief rope tactics were the best at bullying more and less, two flying soldiers were killed, and most of the other soldiers were injured and injured, and finally Wang Ping had to lead the rest of the troops back to the hill, only to get rid of the pursuit of the horse thieves.

The breakthrough failed, and the manpower was broken, and he was forced back to the same place and it was difficult to get out, no matter how you look at it, you can't be satisfied, but it's not completely without gains. The two horses were driven to the mountain, where they were killed for meat and blood, and the team solved the problem of drinking water, at least temporarily. Horse blood is hard to drink and very dry, but it is more important than anything else to keep people alive.

After eating and drinking enough, resting for a while, in the second half of the night, the flying army team set off again.

This time it went much smoother.

In the first half of the night, the flying army continued to observe the movement pattern of the horse thief patrol, found a gap that could be used, and escaped from the horse thief warning range without realizing it. After dawn, the horse thief realized that something was wrong, and sent people up the mountain to investigate, and the flying army team had already run ten miles away.

Jia Zhu is also on the team.

It is difficult for a girl to keep up with the speed of the team's march, even if the flying army is injured and tired, and the speed of running is not something that Jia Zhu can keep up with.

However, Jia Zhu did not fall behind, because she had a mount to travel.

The team led by Wang Ping, including him, had a total of sixteen people, two of whom were killed, and fifteen of them plus Jia Zhu. Filling the bellies of more than a dozen people, it is difficult to say, easy to say, the two horses that were grabbed, it was enough to kill one, and the remaining one was also carefully taken out of the encirclement. Although Jia Zhu is a woman, she is a native of Liangzhou, and her father is a strategist of the Liangzhou army.

Not all the heirs of the Liangzhou army can ride horses, and there is a reason why the children of the Jia family ride horses well.

Jia Zhu, who was riding on a horse, couldn't help but recall what her father said when she asked her and her brothers to practice riding.

"Yes! It can save lives. ”

At this time, recalling his father's advice back then, Jia Zhu thought so.

It's worthy of my father......

Jia Zhu rode a horse, and Wang Ping's team walked north and headed for the enclave.

The fourteen soldiers of the Flying Army were all wounded, their battle robes were tattered and bloodstained, and they looked like refugees fleeing thousands of miles from the desert, but each of them had their backs straight and every step was firm.

Wang Ping walked at the front of the team, rarely spoke, and just calmly led everyone away.

But in fact, Wang Ping's heart is not calm at all.

The reasons are manifold.

He worries about the future of the Flying Army.

Led the team to sneak out with two goals, save Jia Zhu and seek a breakthrough, the first goal was basically achieved, but the second goal was not. I always feel that the flying army is a line away from the breakthrough, but this line is heaven and earth. Finding Jia Zhu, Wang Ping has no reason to wander outside, but it also means that the once-in-a-lifetime breakthrough opportunity is about to be lost, how can Wang Ping be willing?

He was more worried about the enclave of the plateau.

Thinking that because he led his team out, the territory had to stick to the plateau enclave, and how many robes and friends would die in the battle with the Qiang people, Wang Ping felt so guilty that he couldn't extricate himself. The enclave is no different from other places, the Baihe people who rescued them on the plateau, one is the ace of the territory, and the other is a neutral tribe close to the territory, all of whom are experienced elites. Elite troops mean strong combat power, but from another perspective, the price of losing a large number of elite troops is naturally painful, and the price is even more unbearable for a new force like Zhululing, which is surrounded by strong enemies.

He was also worried about horse thieves.

When he was trapped on the mountain, Wang Ping had already asked Jia Zhu about the situation of the horse thief.

Jia Zhu was caught by horse thieves, and the prospect was bleak, but Jia Xu's daughter was not an ordinary woman after all, so she did not accept her fate in that case, but tried to save herself. Jia Xu told the leader of the horse thieves that he was the pearl of a certain boss of the Liangzhou Army, who was kidnapped by bad guys, found an opportunity to escape halfway, and has been on the plateau ever since. If the horse thief sends her back to her father, she will be rewarded handsomely.

The horse thief was suspicious of this, and asked a few questions related to the Liangzhou army, Jia Zhu answered correctly, coupled with the calmness of the big abnormal person, the leader of the horse thieves had to believe it. It is easy to judge which is more important than catching a woman to go back to warm the bed and sending her back to accept the reward. Even if he has doubts, he can hand over Jia Zhu to the Qiang tribe in Liangzhou, and with the status of the Liangzhou army in the eyes of the Liangzhou Qiang, I believe that any tribe with a clear brain is willing to help redeem Jia Zhu, and the horse thieves don't have to take any risks.

This is the reason why Jia Zhu fell into the hands of horse thieves, but did not suffer misfortune.

Although he lost his freedom, he at least saved himself.

Jia Zhu was rescued, and the horse thieves chased after him, presumably unwilling to lose such a valuable bargaining chip.

The horse thief who caught Jia Zhu was led by a leader, but not the big leader, and when Wang Ping's team found Jia Zhu, the horse thieves were planning to take her back to her lair first, and then the big leader would decide Jia Zhu's fate. On the night of the rescue, the leader told Jia Zhu that they would be able to return to their lair tomorrow.

In retrospect, that night may have been the last chance for Wang Ping's team to rescue Jia Zhu.

On the other hand, the horse thieves attach importance to Jia Zhu, and the lair is nearby, will they be chased by people all over the place?

Wang Ping became a prophecy.

At noon that day, the horse thief returned.
