Jia Zhu fell into the hands of horse thieves, which is really not good news.

There are more than 200 horse thieves in this group, which is not very large, but the number is more than ten times that of Wang Ping's team. Even if the flying army has good combat strength, it is not appropriate to attack it directly when everyone is injured, hungry and tired, and there are hostages in the hands of the other party, Wang Ping does not dare to be careless.

Sneak in, reconnoitre, assign men to see if they can find a little food, and the others hurry up and rest.

Wang Ping was personally responsible for reconnoitring the horse thief, climbing to the top of the cliff where the horse thief was camping, and condescendingly watched. By the time he came down from the mountain, he had already made a preliminary judgment about the horse thieves.

Among the horse thieves are Han Chinese, and there are also Qiang people, and the proportion of the number cannot be seen for the time being. Considering that this is the junction of Yizhou and the plateau, it is not unusual for the Han and Qiang to converge, everyone is living with their heads up, and then caring about the difference between ethnic groups is purely unpleasant for themselves.

This gang of horse thieves was very careful, and put three sentry posts on the periphery of the camp, two bright and one dark, inverted triangular arrangement, the dark sentry was in the innermost, and the line of sight was just enough to take care of the two sentry posts, if the sentry was sneaked away by the enemy, the sentry could be found, and there was enough time to warn.

From a technical point of view alone, this arrangement is quite standard, and it adopts the usual methods of the Han border army. Combined with the membership structure of this gang of horse thieves, Wang Ping suspects that one of the horse thieves may have served in the border army.

However, the quality of the horse thief can not be compared with the border army, and the discipline can not be compared with the regular army at all. The bright sentry herded the sheep, and the crucial secret sentry did not intend to be on duty seriously, lying on the hiding place and falling asleep.

Seeing the other party's sentry so arrogant, Wang Ping almost didn't bare his eyes.

Thinking about it carefully, Wang Ping can also understand why this is the scene.

After all, they are thieves, and it is obviously difficult for some strongmen to ask them to be as disciplined as the army.

The plateau is vast and sparsely populated, and people are often not met for many days, resulting in a lower than normal level of vigilance for thieves.

From a professional point of view, the horse thief's cordon net is also really rough, and the light and dark whistles are added together, and there are still blind spots in perspective. If the sentinels on duty are a little more dedicated, the loopholes are not too big, but these sentinels are perfunctory and undisguised, and the warning network will naturally be full of loopholes. Thinking a little deeper, is it because the sentinel is so casually distributed because he knows that the executor will herd sheep, so he simply behaves casually?

In any case, the lack of vigilance on the part of the horse thieves is obviously a good thing for the Flying Army.

There is one thing, but Wang Ping is puzzled.

That's Jia Zhu's situation.

It is not difficult to imagine what happened to a young woman who fell into the hands of a horse thief, but according to Wang Ping's observation, although Jia Zhu lost her personal freedom and showed obvious signs of restraint, it seemed that she was not restrained and abused. The horse thieves not only did not call her around, but seemed to be afraid of her, and did not dare to harass her too much. During Wang Ping's observation, a horse thief came over to chat with her, and Jia Zhu's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no hesitation and helplessness in the wolves.

What's going on?

Wang Ping was confused, but he also understood that it was not appropriate to be too entangled at this time, and it was the right thing to rescue Jia Zhu.

Back at the hideout, the flying army who went out to look for food had already returned, took out some plant roots, and harvested very little, and divided it only enough for everyone to pack a mouthful, but it was difficult to find food at night, and it was necessary to guard against being discovered by horse thieves, and there were many constraints, so it was not easy to come back empty-handed. After the meal was shared, Wang Ping asked everyone to continue to seize the time to rest, and he continued to improve the rescue plan.

In the second half of the night, the action began.

Wang Ping wanted to send the top soldiers to touch the sentry first, and then act calmly, but the two horse thieves in one of the sentry were so drunk that they sang like a wolf howling, disturbing everyone's sleep and causing a lot of scolding, and the two ignored it. In this case, even if he could touch them and kill them unconsciously, the abrupt stop of singing would easily arouse the suspicion of the camp horse thieves, and Wang Ping had to change his plan.

Approaching the campsite from the blind spot of the sentry line, it was successfully achieved.

The flying army acted separately, while Wang Ping and a few of his subordinates cautiously touched Jia Zhu's location.

Jia Zhu was in the wolf's den, and when she slept, she reminded her to guard against horse thieves, and dimly felt that someone was approaching her, and she woke up suddenly, and was about to scream, but she was pressed under her by someone who came, and her mouth was also covered, and she couldn't move. Jia Zhu was so frightened that she was so frightened that a horse thief secretly came over in the middle of the night to plot against her, and struggled desperately, but she heard someone whispering in her ear: "Don't scream, your own people." ”

Jia Zhu immediately became quiet.

Turning his head to look, he recognized that it was Wang Ping, and Jia Zhu's tears flowed out at once.

In the past few days when he was caught by the horse thief, Jia Zhu relied on his wisdom to barely protect himself, thinking that the horse thief might turn his face at any time, Jia Zhu naturally could not be as fearless as he appeared on the surface, and he was anxious and restless in his heart, and lived like a year. Since the escape from the plateau, Wang Ping has always been the protector of the Jia brothers and sisters, after a hundred tribulations, standing as before, Jia Zhu in despair suddenly saw Wang Ping, surprise and grievances surged into his heart at the same time, and he couldn't help crying.

After all, Jia Zhu is just a fifteen-year-old woman after all.

Suddenly seeing her own people running to the rescue, Jia Zhu couldn't wait to talk about her sadness and pain, but before she could speak, Wang Ping had already preemptively said: "Let's talk about it when we go out." ”

Jia Zhu nodded.

"Can you go?"

Keep nodding.

Wang Ping didn't say anything anymore, and leaned down and took Jia Zhu to the outside.

The operation has been going very smoothly so far, and the next thing to do is to take Jia Zhu out safely, leave quietly, and the rescue operation will be completed. It's a pity that when he was about to touch the edge of the camp, an accident still appeared, a horse thief was not very honest when he slept, and the big foot girl put his foot on the chest of another horse thief, and the horse thief smelled the stench in a daze, and opened his eyes with great difficulty, and saw that the foot board was almost to his mouth, and he was furious, and he got up and was ready to go crazy, just to see a few people taking Jia Zhu to slip outside.

"Ah, someone!"

As soon as the words fell, the sleeping horse thieves woke up one after another.

At this time, the Wuping people had not yet left the camp, and the camp was bombed, and there were enemies in all directions, and the situation was grim. Wang Ping was also speechless in this situation, but the good news was that they were near the edge of the camp, and there would not be too many horse thieves blocking the way in front of them, as long as they could break through this interception and escape outside, there was still a great hope of getting out at night. Although Wang Ping is young, he has extremely rich combat experience, and he has been in charge of the army alone for many years, and he is quite decisive in killing, telling Jia Zhu to follow him, and immediately rushed out with a knife.

The flying army has excellent combat quality, the main general serves as a sharp knife to rush forward to kill, and the other flying troops do not need to be reminded at all, or break the rear, or support, or cover the flanks, each in place, and in an instant, they formed a small wedge-shaped formation, followed Wang Ping to rush up, and in a few strokes, several horse thieves who were blocking the front were cut to the ground, and they did not stop for half a step, and the whole team continued to rush forward.

After a brief confusion in the camp, the horse thieves found that there were not many enemies, and soon surrounded them.

However, the quality of the flying army's individual soldiers is extremely high, and the one-to-two and three-to-three not only do not fall behind, but also continue to make gains. What impressed the horse thief even more was the cooperation of the flying army, the small troops were against each other, the cooperation of the flying army was like a cloud, and the horse thieves actually had the usual tactical cooperation, but with the flying army, their cooperation was really not worth mentioning. The intercepted horse thieves faced the battle in a panic, and there was no time to arrange defenses, and most of the people nearby gathered to block the way, but naturally they were quickly overturned, and they never caused much trouble for Wang Ping's team.

Wang Ping's team rushed straight to the edge of the camp.

The more they break through to the periphery, the smaller the number of horse thieves, and the more difficult it is to intercept the elite of the flying army. Wang Ping's team had a bit of a god-blocking momentum, and they moved extremely fast, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the edge of the camp.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the horse thieves stopped the team's refueling and interception tactics, and ordered the horse thieves facing Wang Ping's team to take the initiative to move to the edge and concentrate their superior forces to engage the enemy again. The leader of the horse thieves did not expect that the people gathered on the periphery could defeat the enemy, and in just a few small-scale battles, anyone with no problem with their eyes could see that the horse thieves' combat power was indeed inferior to that of the opponent, but the horse thieves had some unique tactics, and the leader only wanted to entangle the opponent for a while, and give the large army to rush to buy time, and he believed that his subordinates were capable of doing it.

The horse thieves understood, the front row stopped, and several people in the rear, under the cover of their companions, raised their hands and threw out the lasso.

At night, the vision was limited, the horse thief lasso played skillfully, and Wang Ping's team was caught off guard, and half of the six-person assault team was hit, and Jia Zhu turned pale with fright. The three flying soldiers who were not caught hurriedly swung their knives and broke the rope to help their comrades get out of trouble, but the speed of the team was inevitably affected. To make matters worse, the front cover had just been cut, and the thief had an extra bundle of rope in his hand, ready to repeat the old trick.

Seeing that the flying army was recruited, the leader of the horse thieves was overjoyed.

He didn't care that the rope sleeve was broken, as long as he could drag the opponent from breaking through, to buy time for the team. In the midst of the chaos, when the superiority in strength reached a certain level, even 10,000 enemies could not escape the fate of being killed on the spot.

It's a pity that he was a little too early to be happy.

When the rope noose arrived again, the flying army was already on guard, and only one person could not dodge the middle noose, and was instantly rescued by his companions. The horse thief still wanted to continue to harass, but although Wang Ping didn't know a few big characters, he had been influenced by Xu Shu for a long time, and his rigor was not comparable to that of ordinary people. Several flying soldiers came out from behind the interceptor, slashing several people one after another. The horse thief suffered from the enemy on his back, and he did not know how many enemies there were in the dark, and the horse thief never respected the spirit of fighting to the death, and resolutely scattered and fled.

Picked up by their outer companions, the assault team rushed out of the camp and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The horse thief was unwilling to retreat from his opponent, and when he saw that there were few flying soldiers, a group of people shouted and chased him out.

After more than a hundred steps out of the camp, the camp sounded the neighing and angry scolding of horses, and the horses ran out of the camp, obviously frightened. The horse thief knows that it is the opponent who does it, and he hates it so much, but the horse is the horse thief's most valuable asset, and at the same time, he is also an irreplaceable partner, and he has a deep affection for his mount. Seeing the horses rushing out, the horse thieves no longer bothered to trouble the flying army, and turned back to find their mounts in fear.

By the time the riots had subsided, Wang Ping and his people had long since disappeared.
