Chapter 914 Desperate Plateau (Part 2)
Wang Ping issued a new order: the entire army stopped advancing and rested on the spot.
For the Feijun, who was tortured by altitude sickness and was reduced to tears, the rest order was no more than a long drought. Everyone could finally get some breathing space. As for the Qiang pursuers who were always chasing after them, most of the Feijun did not
Why do you care? After all, they are elite troops who have experienced battles for a long time. They know how to fight. Even if there are a large number of Qiang people and the situation is poor due to lack of food and medicine, those difficulties are relatively easy to overcome. You can just grit your teeth and get over it.
But altitude sickness can be easily resolved with perseverance rather than skills.
It’s great to stop and take a break!
Mountain operations are greatly affected and restricted by terrain. There are many pursuers, and it is difficult to form an encirclement as quickly as on plain terrain. This is good news for the flying army who are busy escaping.
The resting point Wang Ping chose was a hillock. The place had a wide view, was condescending, and was easy to defend but difficult to attack. A small number of sentries could be used to keep an eye on the pursuers' movements. What's even better was that the hilltop faced cliffs on both sides. Even if the pursuers wanted to outflank him, they would be able to do so in a short time.
It was difficult to get around to the front of Feijun within a short period of time. The clear water seeping from the mountain wall accumulated in the depression and formed a pool. The amount of water was not abundant, but it could support Feijun for several days, so there would not be any problems.
The Qiang people who crossed the Qilian Mountains in pursuit obviously did not want the Feijun to rest comfortably for a long time.
The dry food and medicine carried by the Qiang warriors have not been used up, and they are large in numbers. They have enough manpower to pursue and fight in turns. Their situation is much better than that of the Feijun. Seeing that the Feijun did not rest for half a day and hurried on their way like before,
The Qiang people responded quickly.
Hundreds of Qiang people marched in with great noise, trying to drive the flying army on the road.
When they found that the Fei army was unmoved, the Qiang people continued to advance aggressively and changed their driving force into a forceful attack.
Dozens of flying troops who were on duty to intercept came forward.
The narrow mountain roads make it difficult for the Qiang people to exert their numerical advantage, and only a dozen people at most can fight directly. In small-scale battles, the individual quality of the warriors often plays a decisive role. Although the pursuers are all warriors selected from various tribes, they are not able to compete directly with them.
Compared with the special arms of the Feijun, the gap in strength is quite obvious. After a melee, more than 20 Qiang people were killed one after another. The Feijun only suffered a few minor injuries, and the Qiang people saw that they could not take advantage.
Had to retreat.
The Qiang people did not stop there.
It's night, making a comeback.
Under the cover of night, the Qiang people quietly walked towards the temporary camp of the Feijun under the cover of trees and rocks. They were discovered by the unmanned Feijun sentry, and a fierce battle broke out. The frontal battle was huge, but the real fatal threat came from the side, with more than 500 of the most powerful soldiers.
The powerful Qiang people climbed up the cliff from the side and rear, preparing to attack the front and back of the battlefield. However, Wang Ping had already prepared and deployed a hundred-man team in the direction of the cliff.
Affected by altitude sickness and injuries, the Feijun did not have many troops at its disposal.
Putting aside the rounds of vigilance and the men looking for food, the hundred-man team on the edge of the cliff was Wang Ping's only reserve team.
Even though the battle situation on the frontal battlefield was fierce, Wang Ping did not draw troops from the centurion on the edge of the cliff.
Despite this, the noise from the frontal battlefield still managed to attract part of the flying army's attention.
It happened that the moon was dark and the wind was high that night, and the five hundred Qiang people who attacked were all warriors selected from thousands of tribes. They climbed the mountain wall with only vines and rocks for strength. Not only did they move fast, but they also made almost no movement.
The Qiang warriors climbed up the cliff silently and approached the camp. Only then did the remaining flying army discover the enemy's presence and quickly issued a warning.
The Qiang warriors who were discovered no longer needed to be sneaky, after all, they had successfully reached the outskirts of the camp. The troops responsible for the frontal attack had been attacking fiercely, restraining the small number of troops in the Fei Army, in order to create a gap for the five hundred of them.
A chance to kill. Objectively speaking, the five hundred warriors represent the most elite combat power of the Qiang people. Without being severely restricted by the terrain, these five hundred warriors firmly believe that they have the ability to defeat the entire flying army head-on.
It's not that they are arrogant.
Everyone could see that Fei Jun was tortured by altitude sickness and only had half his life left.
The Qiang people from the other side of the Qilian Mountains are naturally a little uncomfortable, but after all, they are half locals, and the impact of altitude sickness on them is much lighter. Moreover, the Qiang people have taken turns to rest these days and have recuperated for a long time, so there is no reason to be afraid of continuous
The flying army soldier seemed to have difficulty breathing.
Under the bonfire, only a few hundred people stood up in the temporary camp to face the enemy!
At the critical moment of life and death, most of the Feijun did not get up, which further proves that the Feijun is at the end of its tether!
The confidence of the Qiang warriors increased greatly.
As long as they defeat these more than a hundred people, they can quickly occupy the camp and attack the Feijun who are still in front to resist the Qiang's frontal attack. In fact, they may not be able to wait that long at all. Based on experience, the Feijun found that the camp was attacked by surprise.
A large number of Qiang warriors are about to occupy the camp. They will either send people back immediately to support them, causing the front line to be lost; or their will to resist will quickly fade and everyone will find their own way to escape.
No matter which situation occurs, it will eventually lead to a complete collapse of the defense line.
The frontline flying army did not send anyone to return reinforcements. It seemed that they were not aware of the situation in the rear. They just continued to defend their defense line. It was not that they did not want to return reinforcements, but it was because the Qiang people attacked very fiercely and had no spare power to support the rear.
Enemies that reach the outskirts of the camp can only be dealt with by the reserve team.
One hundred flying troops met five hundred selected Qiang warriors.
What happened next gave the five hundred Qiang warriors a wake-up call.
"superior!"
Wang Ping shouted in a low voice, holding a knife and taking the lead to greet him.
It is the tradition of the Zhulu Army that military generals take the lead in battle.
The Feijun's arrows have long been exhausted, and they can't use their good shooting skills, but they still have knives.
As soon as they fought, the Qiang people saw how powerful Fei Jun was.
The Qiang people had long heard that the individual combat qualities of the Feijun soldiers were extremely high, but it wasn't until they got their hands on them that they discovered that what was truly terrifying about the Feijun was not their individual combat prowess, but their tacit cooperation and interpretation of battles.
One to five, the troops are obviously at an absolute disadvantage.
The fighting prowess of the Qiang elite is definitely not in vain.
However, the three or five people in the flying army were very skilled in cooperating. They advanced separately and combined to attack. During the attack, fierce tigers descended from the mountain and the mercury leaked to the ground. They formed formations and rotated on time, responding to each other and never being sloppy. I saw the flying army coming and going suddenly, and the swords and swords were bloody.
Since there were many wounded or unable to fight behind him, Wang Ping quickly issued another order in order to prevent his wounded soldiers from being harmed by the enemy: "Fight quickly and decide quickly!"
This command directly raises the bloodiness of the battle to a whole new level.
Feijun regards quickly killing his opponents as his first goal, and does not hesitate to pay a certain price to achieve his goal. Feijun's killing methods are more fierce and decisive, including Wang Ping himself. From time to time, Feijun fights to get injured and trades his injuries for life.
, coldly letting blood splatter on his body, while coldly sending the weapon into the enemy's body.
Fei Jun, who has experienced countless arduous battles, has an understanding of battle that cannot be matched by ordinary people. They have already learned how to kill opponents quickly on the battlefield and protect themselves as much as possible. If they really can't survive, then try their best.
Find ways to do more things and create opportunities for the people around you!
Some flying troops were obviously covered in blood, but they were still able to fight like crazy.
A flying soldier lost his weapon while covering his comrades, and was immediately besieged by several Qiang people. He was stabbed several times and lost an arm. It looked like he had lost his combat effectiveness. But the flying soldier actually used his other arm to pick up the weapon.
He picked up a knife, chopped down two Qiang people one after another, and died together with another Qiang person. Several Qiang warriors nearby turned pale when they saw it, and were sent back to their hometowns one by one by the flying army who arrived immediately.
This style of fighting naturally makes the battle extremely bloody.
After several rounds of fighting, most of those who fell were Qiang people!
Judging from the proportion of battle losses, the Qiang people have a slight advantage, but it is not just the number of people that determines victory or defeat, but also morale.
