Chapter 897
The wind in the mountains stirred up the leaves, and from time to time the raindrops stuck on the leaves were shaken off.
So, it started to rain sporadicly in the mountains again.
The sound of Xichou's voice came closer and closer.
The nearby mountain roads are rugged and steep, with steep slopes tens of meters long and spiral roads spiraling up. As we are close to the Qilian Mountain ridgeline, the shadow of the plank road is no longer visible in many places. Visitors here can only walk between the cliffs.
It's hard to move forward, if you are not careful, you may fall off the cliff.
The pursuers approaching Feijun's ambush point were moving very fast. The Qiang people are accustomed to walking in the mountains, and most of the people who pursued them here were warriors from various tribes. Almost all the warriors who could be named by the nearby Qiang tribes were here.
, it can be said that they are an elite team of Qiang people participating in the war, and their speed is naturally stronger than that of ordinary Qiang people. This elite team, composed of warriors selected from hundreds of tribes, should not have entered the battle so early, but the flying army suddenly headed west
This greatly exceeded the expectations of the Qiang people. In order to intercept the flying army before they crossed the Qilian Mountains, the Qiang people had to play the strongest card in their hand in advance.
The Qiang elite team consists of approximately 3,500 people, but their overall quality is extremely high.
After chasing all the way, climbing up and down the mountain, the physical exertion was huge, but the Qiang team was still very fast.
Jia Mu lay nervously in the grass. This was the first time in his life that he had participated in a battle at close range. Well, it would be more appropriate to describe his role as "spectating the battle." The fear of battle made Jia Mu tremble deep in his soul.
His face became increasingly pale, his body was soaked with cold sweat, but his eyes were burning with excitement.
Next to him, Wang Ping's eyes were cold and he couldn't see any waves, and Jia Mu felt even more ashamed.
What a shame!
Don’t be a coward!
Jia Mu tried his best to calm down and took the risk to watch in order to verify what he had learned. If he could not face it calmly, the risk would be worthless. Jia Mu kept reminding himself that Yishi Feijun was under personal protection, so there was nothing to worry about.
Take the time to observe the situation on the battlefield, so as not to be like Zhao Kuo who can only talk on paper.
"The ambush is located behind a long mountain road. The pursuers are tired and weak, but you can get twice the result with half the effort..."
"There are not many arrows left, so I cut bamboo wood into arrows. The range requirement in the mountains is not high, but it depends on local conditions..."
"Condescending, building rocks on the slope..."
"Hey, here are two more cloth bags..."
Jia Mu reached out to touch it, but Wang Ping slapped him away, "Don't move!"
"What's inside?" Jia Mu whispered.
Wang Ping glared at Jia Mu angrily. The other party's strong curiosity made him dumbfounded.
"Understood, just pretend I didn't ask!" Jia Mu found a step for himself very naturally.
As a rookie on the battlefield who is extremely afraid of death, he cherishes his small life very much. Wang Ping is the commander of the flying army and has absolute authority on the battlefield. He will never feel unhappy because of being scolded by Wang Ping.
It felt like a sense of security. Moreover, the front of the Qiang people had already climbed the long and steep mountain road and entered the gentle area outside the ambush circle. They would enter the encirclement after walking another three hundred steps. It was really not appropriate to cause unnecessary problems.
The Qiang people did not stop to rest and continued to move forward, following the traces left by the flying army.
This place is not far from the ridgeline of the Qilian Mountains. The Qiang people hope to intercept the flying army before they cross the mountain. They are very anxious. In addition, they have been escaping in a hurry before, and their team has a large number of people.
They are all warriors that every tribe can count, and they have no doubt that they have the strength to defeat their opponents. The Qiang people just chase at full speed along the way. As long as they catch up with their opponents, there is no need to think about the outcome.
Entering the ambush circle, the Qiang people were still unaware.
A whistle blew and the ambush began.
Arrows were shot out from the grass and woods, and they greeted the Qiang people with their heads and faces covered.
A large number of Qiang people fell without any suspense under the close range bow and crossbow attack.
Many of the ambushers' arrows were made of bamboo and wood. They were crudely made and their lethality was far inferior to those of iron arrows. However, these Qiang people mostly wore light leather armor, and the bamboo and wood arrows were enough for them to drink.
A pot, not to mention that the ambushers' hiding place was very close to the mountain road, and the hiding place of some flying army soldiers was only more than ten steps away from the Qiang people. The first round of long-range strikes gave the Qiang people a disincentive.
The Feijun were all barbarians, and they were good at extracting various poisons from the juices of plants in the mountains and applying them on arrowheads. Those Qiang people who were shot directly could suffer less, but the Qiang people who were injured by the arrows had bad luck for eight lifetimes.
Some are itchy and scratching the heart, some are in unbearable pain, or the body is paralyzed and unable to control, and the screams and wailings are constant.
This group of Qiang people is all composed of warriors from the tribe. They are all very skilled. They did not panic when they were suddenly attacked. They took out their bows and arrows and shot at the flying army. The elites among the Qiang people are also quite good at archery.
, even though he was hit by an ambush and lost all his power, the accuracy of the arrows he shot was still quite reliable, and many flying troops were hit by arrows one after another.
Wang Ping decisively ordered to untie the two cloth bags and throw them from the hillside into the Qiang formation.
Several yellow and black objects rolled out of the cloth bag. The Qiang man below heard his companions exclaim, and noticed something falling from the corner of his eye. He drew his sword and chopped it without thinking. When he saw clearly what he had hit, the Qiang man
People were so shocked that they lost their minds, but it was too late.
Hornet's nest!
The nest was destroyed, and the wasps inside immediately exploded the camp. However, a large swarm of wasps flew out of the wasp nest and launched a suicide attack on the Qiang people desperately. The nearby Qiang warriors were stung by the wasps and screamed wildly.
The long-range counterattack that was finally organized was completely destroyed. However, the flying army in the distance was not affected by the wasps and seized the opportunity to continue shooting the Qiang people.
Seeing the scene of wasps raging, Jammu looked pale.
Just now he actually wanted to open the bag and take a look...
Despite being frightened, Jia Mu felt a little excited.
Using a hornet's nest to disrupt the enemy's operations was a native method that was not recorded in any military books he had read. It was a wild way that only typical mountain people could master. However, in the current environment, the effect was surprisingly good, and it was easy to easily defeat the Qiang people who might have formed a
The novice's counterattack was invisible.
Jia Mu was very satisfied with his decision to stay and watch the battle. There were some experiences that could not be learned from books.
Arrows and wasps flew together, and the front of the Qiang people was completely defeated.
Fei Jun seizes the opportunity to pour out the arrows in his hand, abandons the bow and arrow, picks up the sword and gun, jumps down the mountain road and fights with the Qiang people hand to hand. I don’t know what method Fei Jun used, but the wasps turned a blind eye to them and just kept chasing the Qiang people and stinging them.
Although the Feijun does not have a legionary tradition, it is a special unit recognized by Futu. It has super strong combat power. Even when the Qiang warriors were at their peak, it was difficult for them to escape from the Feijun. Now it was even more of a one-sided massacre. The front of the Qiang people was quickly destroyed.
Killed to pieces.
Qiang troops arrived on the battlefield one after another.
The Qiang people have been living in the mountains all year round, and they have no shortage of ways to deal with wasps.
Someone sprinkled a large amount of insect repellent powder to disperse the wasps, and then they swarmed up and fought hand-to-hand with the flying army.
Although the Qiang people's combat effectiveness is inferior to that of the flying army, they are superior to them in numbers. They work in groups and use the terrain to fight with the flying army. The flying army has exhausted their arrows and is at a disadvantage in terms of strength. Although they still have the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat, they still have the upper hand.
However, they were unable to eliminate their opponents cleanly. Every moment of delay, the Qiang rear team would gain more ground, and the ambush battle would become a pure war of attrition. Even if the Fei army could win, their own consumption would be huge.
At this moment, ancient war songs sounded in the mountains and forests.
Dozens of Qiang people sang war songs and danced like a whirlwind into the Qiang formation, invincible.
"Magic weapon?"
"Nonsense, why bother with banzhen?"
"Singing, dancing and fighting are magic weapons!"
"God!"
The Qiang people are most afraid of the Zhi people.
The ambush was inherently unlucky, and with the large number of people, they could still try to carry it. However, with the appearance of the Bayu war dance, the Qiang people could no longer maintain their will to fight. They were killed by the flying army and retreated steadily, and they soon became defeated.
