Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 328: Multiple Attacks Make the Enemy Frightened

Mid-July was already coming to an end, but the Zhenhuang Army's battle in Liangzhou had just begun.

On the second day after arriving at a small county on the border of Liangzhou, Hu Yanpingping's troops set out first, divided into several groups, and rushed away quickly.

On the third day, Qin Jiu led a division of troops and marched towards Hanchuan City with great fanfare.

On the fourth day, after settling the thousands of wounded soldiers who had returned south with the Zhenhuang Army due to disability, Liu Feiyun led the main force of the Sixth Brigade and marched towards Hanchuan City in a mighty manner.

On the fifth day, shocking news one after another reached the barefoot army's camp outside Hanchuan City.

"What! In one day, all five armies of our Great Wu Dynasty were defeated and 80,000 troops were scattered. How is this possible?"

Victor Han’s face was full of disbelief.

"Moreover, this is an exhausted army after traveling thousands of miles! Could it be that the barbarians of the Zhenhuang Army are possessed?"

If Liu Feiyun heard what he said, he would probably sneer at him:

"My army of suppressing the wilderness is not possessed by barbarians, but it already has a lot of barbarians. Even those Chen people, most of them have been slaves in the Northern Wilderness for a year or two, and they are no different from barbarians."

However, Han Sheng didn't have time to think about these things at the moment. Instead, he had to quickly consider how to deal with the upcoming Zhenhuang Army.

"Master, the Zhenhuang Army only has tens of thousands of people. Why should we be afraid? Besides, they are just a few tens of thousands of scattered rabble. As long as we go around the surrounding counties a few more times, we won't have enough people to surrender!"

"Master Marshal! This Zhenhuang Army cannot be underestimated. After all, it is an army of tens of thousands that has fought several battles with the Northern Wilderness Barbarians!"

"Master, the commander-in-chief! We Qiang people will not submit to the Northern Wilderness Barbarians or the damned Wilderness Suppression Army! I think it would be better to send out tens of thousands of Fansheng Cavalry to meet them in one fell swoop and kill them once and for all!"

"Master Marshal! We can't underestimate the enemy! I think it's better for us to wait and see!"

……

Han Sheng's generals expressed their opinions one after another, leaving him at a loss for a moment.

So he decided to wait and see what the situation was.

But in the next three days, several county towns that he had originally captured were successively captured by the Zhenhuang Army, and a large number of defeated troops retreated to the outside of Hanchuan City.

Seeing that his siege army had increased from more than 200,000 to nearly 300,000, Han Sheng was not happy at all.

"We had an army of more than 100,000 soldiers, and we lost more than half of them just like that! The most infuriating thing is that we also lost all the territory. Without these territories, how can we support these nearly 300,000 soldiers?"

Han Sheng felt a little regretful. He regretted that he should not have hesitated a few days ago.

"The Wasteland Suppression Army! The little butcher's Wasteland Suppression Army must be eliminated!"

"Fortunately, my real fighting soldiers, the Fansheng Cavalry, are still here! Now the arrival of the defeated soldiers has affected the morale of the army, and we must stabilize the morale of the army first! Only by sending out the Fansheng Cavalry can we stabilize the morale of the army!"

"The Zhenhuang Army has dispersed its forces and is now scattered in different places. According to the scouts, the little butcher only has more than 20,000 people around him, and many of them are infantry!"

"As long as I gather all the 50,000 Fansheng Cavalry, I can take advantage of the opportunity when the little butcher is short of troops and kill him in one fell swoop!"

“By then, the Desert Suppression Army will be leaderless, and I can defeat them one by one!”

Han Sheng made up his mind and immediately began to divide his troops and dispatch generals, ready to go into battle himself.

On that day, he led 50,000 Fansheng cavalry and marched north with great fanfare, threatening to capture the little butcher.

When tens of thousands of cavalry appeared in front of the ordinary barefoot army, it really put their morale at ease, and at the same time made the defenders in Hanchuan City terrified!

When the Governor of Liang Province looked at the huge cavalry heading north from the city wall, he looked at the letter he had just received via carrier pigeon.

"The Wasteland Suppression Army? Little butcher! Liu Feiyun! Hope! This kid can win the first battle! As long as we kill these tens of thousands of cavalry, our Hanchuan City will be saved! Our Liangzhou will be saved!"

"Boy! You must win! God! You must bless Dachen!"

The governor of Liangzhou prayed silently.

Liu Feiyun led the Fifth Brigade with 20,000 troops, driving cattle and sheep, and marched slowly!

Generally speaking, infantry can march thirty miles a day and still maintain considerable combat effectiveness.

The Zhenhuang Army was a cavalry army, that is, infantry, and also mounted infantry.

In fact, since entering Liangzhou, it has become inappropriate to use the marching method of the northern barbarians.

Therefore, Liu Feiyun used most of his cattle and sheep to exchange for a lot of food from the county magistrate.

When the people encounter natural disasters and famine, whether the county magistrate opens the granary to release grain and how much grain to release depends entirely on the county magistrate's wishes.

But Liu Feiyun wanted food, so the county magistrate dared not refuse to change it. Besides, it was an exchange, not a forced levy.

As a result, Liu Feiyun's team lost most of the cattle and sheep, but had many more grain carts.

But in this way, the marching speed slowed down, which was only slightly faster than the infantry.

During these seven or eight days, we only walked more than 300 miles.

Fortunately, Liangzhou is not the Northern Wilderness, it is not that big, and the county governments are not too far from each other.

At this time, it was less than two hundred miles away from Hanchuan City.

Wangchenpo is a not-too-steep earth slope that is higher in the north and lower in the south. It is several miles long and about a mile wide. Below the long slope is a sparse forest.

However, there are no trees on the long slope, and not even much short grass.

Liu Feiyun stood on the top of the slope, looking at the faint smoke rising from the woods in the south.

"They came so fast! Could it be that they came all the way here at full speed? Are they planning to launch a surprise attack on me?"

Then, he said to the messenger beside him: "Go tell Tuo Dajun to stop advancing, rest and wait for orders. The Crossbow Brigade will set up a battle array half a mile behind the top of the slope! The direct brigade and the left brigade of the Central Division will continue to move forward with me!"

Today, Han Sheng led the cavalry of Fan Sheng

They had already marched for more than sixty miles, and it was estimated that they would encounter the little butcher in another ten or twenty miles.

As expected, the scouts came to report that they had discovered traces of the Zhenhuang Army ten miles ahead. There were about 10,000 people there, driving cattle and sheep down the slope.

“Driving cattle and sheep? This little butcher, does he think Liangzhou is the Northern Wilderness Prairie? Hahaha! What an ignorant boy!”

"All the generals, listen to my order. Slow down and widen the formation. Once the little butcher gets down the hill, we will surround him from three sides!"

Han Sheng seemed to have it all figured out.

When Liu Feiyun led two brigades of more than 8,000 people to the end of the slope, Han Sheng's army suddenly rushed out. He seemed to have not expected so many enemies to appear, and hurriedly turned his horse's head and fled.

Liu Feiyun's subordinates also seemed to be in chaos. Some rushed to the sides of the slope, while others turned their horses around and ran back following Liu Feiyun. As for the cattle and sheep, there was no one to look after them and they began to run around.

In a blink of an eye, nearly 10,000 soldiers

They were divided into three parts. Liu Feiyun led two to three thousand people to run back, while the remaining three, several thousand people each, broke through the interception of Fansheng's cavalry and fled to both sides.

"Don't worry about the miscellaneous soldiers on both sides, just chase the little butcher! The guy in armor with four big idiots around him must be the little butcher. Don't let him run away from me!"

Han Sheng shouted.
