Fighting and fleeing all the way, trying their best to deal with the Qiang people, the situation of the flying army became more and more difficult.

The eighth day after the valley receded.

Wang Ping ordered the last bit of food left to be distributed to everyone. Due to the frantic pursuit of the Qiang warriors, the Flying Army has not had the opportunity to find food in the wild recently, and the Qiang people have realized that the Flying Army is very dependent on battlefield captures, and it is the turn of the warriors to go out of battle without carrying dry food, so it has become a delusion for the Flying Army to grab some supplies from the enemy. At this point, the flying army has actually run out of food.

Day 9.

The Qiang people are probably also at the end of the strong crossbow, and the attack intensity is relatively weak, but the potential of the flying army has been squeezed to the limit, and in just one day, more than thirty brothers have been lost before and after, more than when the high-intensity battle continued in the previous few days. Everyone's reaction was obviously much slower than usual, and there was even a strange scene of seeing the knife and axe approaching, but unable to block or dodge, and the pestle was killed on the spot. Wang Ping was stunned and grief-stricken, but there was nothing he could do.

Seeing that the Fei army was extremely weak, the Qiang people were greatly boosted, summoned up Yu Yong, and vowed to destroy the Han army.

Day 10.

In the morning battle alone, the flying army lost about twenty people, and several seriously wounded died in the chaos.

This is a very red flag.

The Wudang Flying Army is all selected from the Yimin, and the members of the army are all from several subordinate territories of the Yimin in the Zhulu Territory, and most of them have a relationship or some origin. The people of Ba County are fierce, and the people of Ba County are even more righteous, laughing and scolding and joking on weekdays, but it is a completely different style when they start a war, they are proud of dying for Pao Ze, and they are ashamed of being cowardly and saving their lives. In previous battles, it was common for the Fei army to block the sword for the robe, and especially pay attention to the protection of the wounded soldiers on their side, even if they sacrificed their lives, they would not let the Qiang people hurt the wounded soldiers.

Several wounded soldiers were killed, indicating that the remnants of the flying army were no longer able to protect the wounded soldiers.

The troops are on the verge of collapse!

Wang Ping was surrounded by a deep sense of powerlessness and felt hopeless for the first time.

In the face of the Qiang people chasing and beating all over the mountains, the grief-filled commander of the flying army could only stand in front and try his best to buy some respite for the robes who were almost exhausted. The knife in his hand has been curled, and the viscous blood flows along the blade to the handle, his hand seems to have been soaked in blood, and he feels slippery from time to time when he swings, Wang Ping can't care about it, and subconsciously swings out one knife after another.

There are no shouting signs, only desperate fighting!

Use the last of your strength.

Wang Ping is not alone.

The surviving Flying Soldiers were not far from him, and together with their main generals, they built a wall of flesh and blood in front of the battered robes.

Jia Mu is no exception, in fact, his swordsmanship is not bad, but because of the lack of actual combat opportunities before, he is a little less ruthless and direct, in vain, and is often ridiculed by the flying army. Until now, no one has questioned his combat effectiveness. The people of the Jia family are obviously more afraid of death than ordinary people, but when they are forced into a situation where they have to work hard, the desire to survive is obviously stronger than that of ordinary people.

On the battlefield, the sound of blades entering flesh comes and goes.

Both sides were red-eyed.

There were less than a hundred Qiang people in charge of this wave of attacks, and before that, they could already retreat and continue to consume the Flying Army with a new wave of new forces. But this round of Qiang warriors realized that the flying army was at the end of the crossbow, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they did not want to give the flying army a chance to breathe, and they wanted to win miraculous feats, so they also fought to the death.

The defense line of the flying army is precarious, and everyone is trying to support it.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps behind him, and Wang Ping's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

surrounded......

No wonder these Qiang people did not retreat from the battle, it turned out that some people were going around the rear to attack, and they were determined to stay here in the Feijun. Wang Ping's heart was extremely sad, listening to the footsteps, the number of Qiang people behind him should not be much, about twenty or thirty people at most, but he knew very well the current situation of the Flying Army, everyone was holding on to it in one breath, and it was a miracle that it could hold on until now, even if the number of Qiang people outflanking the troops was small, the remnants of the Flying Army could not kill the opponent.

Doom is imminent!

The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and they are getting more and more urgent.

"Suzhi!"

Wang Ping changed his previous stubborn posture, rushed forward with a short body, cut down two Qiang people one after another, and shouted loudly to Jia Mu.

"Yes!" Jamu gritted his teeth and pulled away.

After working together for so long, he naturally understood Wang Ping's intentions, and when Wang Ping rushed out, he called him, and the enemy behind him was obviously handed over to his side to be responsible. Jamu was actually as tired as a dog, and he had no confidence in whether he could stop the enemy behind him, and the fear of death made him tremble, but the situation was like this, and he couldn't push it back.

"Can't be cowardly!"

"Can't die!"

Jamu muttered to himself, the fear in the depths of his eyes faded, and when he turned around, he was already murderous.

When he saw the person behind him, Jia Muyu was stunned, and tears came out of his eyes.

It's the Flying Army!

He also saw a familiar figure, the frightened second brother Jia Ji.

Previously, there were several flying army teams protecting Jia Mu's three younger brothers and sisters, fleeing according to different routes, and it was the team that protected Jia Ji who appeared here at this time. Jia Ji's team set off ahead of schedule, and Wang Ping's headquarters after His Royal Highness fought with the Qiang people for many days, but they encountered Jia Ji here, which can only mean that they are also in trouble, otherwise the two teams would not have babbed. But in any case, this small army has the ability to help the headquarters repel the Qiang people in front of them, and temporarily save the exhausted soldiers of the headquarters from destruction.

Those flying army winds generally rushed past Jia Mu and killed those Qiang people.

"My own people!" Jamu cheered and turned back to join the warband.

Jia Mu has a keen judgment of the battlefield situation, and more than 20 new troops on his side suddenly participated in the battle, and the balance of strength between the two sides changed instantly.

The battle progressed exactly as he expected, and the Qiang people left their corpses behind, and the queen retreated.

Without the order of the commander-in-chief, the Fei army skillfully began to clean up the battlefield, trying to find some food and medicine, but unfortunately the Qiang people had expected this, and everyone's efforts were destined to end in disappointment, but two Qiang warriors who were lying on the ground with leg injuries and pretending to be dead became prisoners of the Fei army.

Wang Ping staggered to a lean man, frowned and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Even if the headquarters was chased and killed by the Qiang people, he deliberately avoided the travel route of the three squads, and fought to create better conditions for the team to break through at the loss of the headquarters. According to the plan, the team guarding Jia Ji definitely shouldn't be here. Although Wang Ping shared weal and woe with his soldiers, he was extremely strict in governing the army, and violating orders in private was a taboo within the flying army.

"The information is wrong," the man smiled bitterly and said, "Our team found that there was a Qiang tribe on the original route, and I planned to sneak over, but I was discovered by the Qiang people, but fortunately I turned around in time, and I managed to escape without much damage, but I lost my bearings......"

Wang Ping nodded silently.

Several escape routes were drawn up based on information obtained from the Qiang captives, and the Qiang who could chase and kill the flying army were from Liangzhou, and had limited knowledge of the situation on this side of the plateau, plus the Qiang people were mainly animal husbandry, and tribal migration was commonplace, so it was not surprising that Jia Ji's team happened to bump into a newly relocated tribe.

"Is there anything to eat?" Wang Ping asked again.

The lean man grinned, "Yes, we stole two sheep from that tribe. ”

"Divided."

"Okay."

The man agreed, and hurriedly gathered the team members to distribute the food to everyone.

Watching the brothers gobble up, like starving ghosts reincarnated, the returning Flying Army soldiers had sour noses and forced back their tears to not fall. Wang Ping is very pleased, he knows his soldiers best, no matter what, if he can eat a few full meals, the combat effectiveness of the flying army will inevitably be significantly improved, not to mention that there are more than 20 new troops, with the offensive forces recently invested by the Qiang people, imagining that he used to press the flying army to fight, it is tantamount to a fool's dream. If the Qiang people do not increase the investment of troops, Wang Ping is confident that they can understand why the flowers are so red.

The interrogation of the Qiang captives confirmed one thing: the Qiang tribe that Jia Ji's troops encountered on the way was not in the hands of the Liangzhou Qiang, and the two men, like the captives captured by the Fei army before the breakout, were ignorant of the fact that there was a Qiang tribe not far away, and it seemed likely that they had recently migrated there.

For the Flying Army, this is a blessing in misfortune.

If the Qiang people of Liangzhou had known that there were tribesmen and tribes nearby and sent people to ask for help, the situation of the flying army would have been even more dangerous. But the discovery of Jia Ji's team will obviously make the Qiang tribe more vigilant, and the chasing army will come again, if the Fei army can't leave this dangerous area as soon as possible, and wait until the Liangzhou Qiang and the plateau Qiang get in touch, the Fei army will not escape the doom.

To add insult to injury, the tribe is located in a position that occupies a pass leading to Yizhou, which is why Jia Jibu tried to risk smuggling in the past. With the current situation of the Fei Army, there is no difference between forcibly breaking through the siege and looking for death, and going to the next pass, not only will it take a few more days, but I don't know if I will encounter other Qiang tribes on the way.

How to go next and what direction to turn in may be directly related to everyone's life and death.

"Where's Suzhi?" Wang Ping turned his head to look around.

In the autumn of peril, he thought of Jamu again.

He has never been a person who has no responsibility, but everyone is now a grasshopper on a rope, living and dying together these days, and he is sure that Jamu is better at discerning the situation than himself, and is better at finding a way out of the fog. In that case, it seemed reasonable for him to ask Jamu to help with his advice. Besides, theoretically, the juniors of the Jia family are already deer chasers, Jia Mu is obviously not willing to be at home as before, and asks about the anecdote that the deer lord is only applicable, although Wang Ping doesn't talk much, his heart is bright, how can he not understand Jia Mu's thoughts, catch Jia Mu as a free think tank, he has no pressure at all.

There was a flying soldier next to him: "Over there in the mountain pass, it seems to be murdering his younger brother." ”

"Why?"

"I know."

……

"Why not fight?" Jamu said in a deep voice.

"Huh?"

"Everyone is desperate, but you are shrinking back, why don't you fight?" Jamu's voice was even colder.

Jia Ji looked at Jia Mu in astonishment, a little unable to believe his ears, a gentleman does not stand under the wall, isn't it the concept that his father has always instilled in them? When did it become a family motto to rush forward in the face of danger? What surprised him the most was not because of Jia Mu's rebuke to him, but because of Jia Mu's momentum and decisiveness, the person standing in front of him at this moment was as sharp as a knife, was it really the eldest brother who seemed a little cowardly because he couldn't come out?

"Big brother, my father said ......"

"My father taught us to protect ourselves, but in the current situation, you can keep it if you want to?" Jamu unceremoniously interrupted Jamu.

"Look at the people who protect us, how many are left?"

"When they're all dead, who else can we count on to protect us?"

"Although my father cherishes his life, when did he retreat when he could not avoid it?"

"If you don't get up, you will die!"

"Don't forget, my father just joined the Chase Deer Leader, will your actions disgrace my father?"

Jia Ji's brain was shocked, and he said in a panic: "Big brother, I know that I am wrong. ”

Jia Mu glanced at Jia Ji deeply, nodded and said, "If you know your mistake, do one thing to prove it." ”

"What?"

"Come with me."

Jia Mu took Jia Ji out of the mountain col, went straight to the Qiang captive, and in front of all the soldiers, he stuck his sword in the dirt, and said, "Kill them." ”

Jia Ji has grown so big, he has never even killed chickens, and now he is actually let him kill!

"Big Brother......

Jia Ji, who had no face, looked at Jia Mu pitifully, hoping that the other party would change his mind.

Jia Mu sneered: "Don't dare? ”

"No, don't dare."

"It's okay if you don't kill, you leave the brigade and fend for yourself, we don't have to be burdensome." Jamu was unmoved.

Jia Ji was sweating like pulp, Jia Mu said this in front of the soldiers of the Fei Army, there was no room at all, if he didn't do it, even if Jia Mu didn't drive him away, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the face to continue to lie in the team. Thinking that he is just a scholar, he has no survival skills in the wild, and he is wandering alone on the plateau, even if there is no Qiang people chasing him, the probability of returning alive is infinitely close to zero, and it is absolutely impossible to leave the brigade. But the price to stay is to kill, just think about it, Jia Ji already feels disgusting, how dare he do it?

All the Feijun looked at Jia Ji, with contempt and disdain in their eyes, but there was no pity.

Without mercy, naturally no one will come out to say good things for him, so that everyone will have a step to go down.

In fact, every flying army has blood on their hands, and there is no obstacle to killing the enemy for them, although killing prisoners is not very glorious, but the Qiang captives are enemies after all, and there are many robes that die in the hands of the Qiang people, plus they are in the enemy-occupied area, isolated, and after asking for a confession, kill the prisoners so as not to leak the troops' hiding, in the eyes of the flying army, it is normal, the difference is nothing more than who started, it is not a problem at all.

The only one present who was qualified to speak out to dissuade Wang Ping was Wang Ping, but Wang Ping obviously respected Jia Mu more, besides, even if the way was rough and cruel, Wang Ping would not openly slap Jia Mu's face.

So Jia Ji is destined to be miserable.

"Suzhi, maybe we have to leave as soon as possible." Wang Ping, who is not afraid of big things, sent an assist.

Jia Mu nodded and said indifferently: "Kill or not?" ”

Poor Jia Ji trembled and pulled his sword from the ground, tremblingly walked to the Qiang prisoner of war, gestured several times, and finally did not dare to start, looking at Jia Mu with begging eyes, "Big brother......"

"Let's go." Jia Mu said to Wang Ping and strode away.

"No!"

Jia Ji shouted, and the sword in his hand stabbed into the chest of a Qiang captive, and blood rushed out, spraying right on Jia Ji's face. The fear of killing and the strong smell of blood made his stomach uncontrollably begin to spasm, but his sword did not hit the vital point, the Qiang captive screamed, and Jia Ji, who was blank in his mind, stabbed the sword again and again, pulled it back, and stabbed it again and again......

When it was all over, the two captives lay in a pool of blood, long since they were dead.

Jia Ji knelt on the ground retching, crying bitterly.

"Pushed too hard." Wang Ping patted Jia Mu on the shoulder.

"It's better than him dead."

"It's so pitiful......"

"That's how I came here."

"Don't you comfort him?" Wang Ping suddenly felt compassion, after all, Jia Ji was not a soldier.

"He definitely doesn't want to talk to me now, so let's figure out what to do next......

(Happy New Year.) ）
