Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 329: Fame on Wangchen Slope (Part )

Han Sheng shouted loudly and led the Fansheng Cavalry to chase and kill Liu Feiyun.

He thought well:

He had tens of thousands of cavalrymen, but the little butcher in front of him had only nearly 10,000. Now the little butcher's men were divided into three, and he only had 1,200 or 3,000 men left. If he caught up with them, he could easily capture the little butcher.

However, he took it for granted.

The Fansheng Cavalry had tens of thousands of cavalrymen, but it was impossible for them to rush to Wangchenpo at once to chase Liu Feiyun's thousands of men.

In addition, the Qiang people in the cavalry saw the cattle and sheep scattered all over the hill, so they slowed down their horses and went to the pen to capture the cattle and sheep.

The number of cavalrymen who actually followed Han Sheng and continued to chase him was only about 10,000.

"These greedy Qiang people only care about cattle and sheep! Come on! Tell the leaders of the Qiang tribe! As long as we capture the little butcher and break through Hanchuan City, I will allow them to plunder the city for three days!"

Han Sheng had no choice but to send people to lure the Qiang people.

The truth is that these Qiang people have a cooperative relationship with their barefoot army and are just temporarily following his command.

Liu Feiyun was running in front and Han Sheng was chasing behind. As the distance between them was getting shorter and shorter, the crossbow shooting between the two sides was becoming more and more intense.

Although the number of Fansheng Cavalry was far greater than that of Zhenhuang Army, the killing ratio of bows and crossbows on both sides was not much different.

After a few miles of shooting, hundreds of people from both sides fell off their horses. In Han Sheng's opinion, the Zhenhuang Army was no better than this, and he could easily win the victory by relying on his numerical advantage.

"I heard that there are many people who want this little butcher's head! If I capture him alive, maybe I can get more benefits!"

Han Sheng couldn't help but feel happy.

Finally, when Liu Feiyun ran to the top of the slope, the distance between the two sides was less than ten feet.

Perhaps in a hurry to escape, the Zhenhuang Army suddenly separated half of its thousand men and launched a counterattack against the vanguard of the Fansheng Cavalry.

A brief confrontation between the two sides began.

Because the Zhenhuang Army made a temporary U-turn, and the Fansheng Cavalry had to go uphill for several miles, the horses of both sides were not fast, and the so-called charge was just in name only.

The nearly one thousand cavalrymen of Fansheng's cavalry who were in the front were caught off guard and quickly suffered several hundred casualties by the Zhenhuang Army. They were frightened and fled in all directions, which immediately slowed down the pursuit of the large force behind them.

The Zhenhuang Army did not want to fight, but after slightly slowing down the speed of the enemy's pursuit, they turned around and fled back north.

After ordering the shooting of a dozen panicked deserters, Han Sheng finally stabilized the formation and led a large group of cavalry to the top of the hill.

But when Han Sheng led several thousand cavalry to the top of the slope, he saw a long snake battle formation of infantry about a mile long blocking the way in front of him.

"Infantry!? Crossbowmen!? Crossbow formation!? Hahahaha! Just a few thousand crossbowmen, and their crossbows are so long and thin, how can they stop my tens of thousands of cavalry!"

Han Sheng was surprised at first, and then laughed.

"Charge! Charge! The enemy only has a few thousand crossbowmen, they can't stop us!"

"Look! The little butcher's horse seems to be unable to run! Their horses are exhausted! Charge forward! Capture him! No matter life or death, it will be a great achievement! Charge forward!"

Han Sheng saw that the two or three thousand people led by Liu Feiyun just now dismounted from their horses, as if they wanted to hide behind the crossbowmen to recover their horses' strength so that they could continue running. He couldn't help but shout again.

At this time, the number of Fansheng cavalry on the top of the slope had increased to nearly 10,000. Under Han Sheng's command, they swarmed towards the Zhenhuang Army.

At the same time, the cavalry on the slope continued to pour up to the top of the slope and join the charging team.

Liu Feiyun stared coldly at the rushing enemy without any fear.

"They have already climbed several miles of slope, yet they still dare to charge forward. I don't know if Han Sheng is arrogant or ignorant!"

"With their chaotic formation, they are far inferior to the auxiliary troops of the Northern Wild Barbarians!"

"This bunch of rabble dares to call themselves the Fansheng Cavalry! Cavalry is not just about anyone who can ride a horse! Cavalry is not just about a group of people riding horses gathered together!"

"Pass the order down, all bows and crossbows shoot rapidly until the enemy rushes to ten feet in front of the crossbow formation. At the same time, make way for the two cavalry brigades behind to charge! As soon as the arrows stop, the cavalry will charge immediately!"

Liu Feiyun seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be explaining to others! At the end, he began to give orders!

The heavy war crossbows and infantry long crossbows were the first to attack, and then the ordinary war crossbows also began to show their power.

In addition to the heavy crossbows and long crossbows, ordinary crossbowmen used a three-stage shooting method: one team shot, one team loaded the crossbow strings, and one team loaded the iron arrows. The three teams took turns shooting, continuously.

Behind the crossbow formation, Liu Feiyun led thousands of people to draw their bows and arrows, and when the enemy rushed into the range, they began to shoot arrows.

Under normal circumstances, a cavalry charge over a distance of half a mile would not take an instant, but it would certainly not take long.

But at this time, Fan Sheng's cavalry had just quickly rushed up a dirt slope several miles long, and their horsepower had been greatly consumed. If they forced a charge at this time, their speed would be much slower.

Moreover, the cavalry on the slope continued to pour up, which forced the cavalry in front to continue moving forward.

As their speed slowed down, it took longer for them to be shot by bows and crossbows.

By the time they rushed to within thirty feet of the Zhenhuang Army, they had already suffered thousands of casualties.

Han Sheng was heartbroken because most of those charging in the front were his own men, not the Qiang people.

But soon, he no longer cared about his loyal followers.

Tuo Dajun, who had been gathering his strength for a long time, saw that Fan Sheng's cavalry had already rushed to the front of the crossbow formation several dozen feet away, and he could not help but shout:

"Warriors from the Northern Wilderness, let those bandits and Qiang people see clearly who is the real hero on horseback!"

"Now that you have the strongest armor and the sharpest swords and spears, you should show your strongest fighting power to prove your bravery!"

When he saw the banners for the charge waving wildly, he shouted, "Charge! Charge! Charge! I'm going to defeat them! Destroy their courage and take their lives!"

Immediately, he took the lead and led the Yunhuang Brigade in a charge.

The Yunhuang Brigade is a cavalry unit within the Zhenhuang Army, mainly composed of people from the Northern Wilderness.

Most of them were born as slaves of the Northern Wilderness Barbarians. It was Liu Feiyun who tricked them into giving them freedom, self-respect, and self-confidence!

In their hearts, they may not agree with the Great Chen Dynasty, but they are in awe of Liu Feiyun.

Many of them were soldiers captured in tribal conflicts, and their individual combat capabilities were not bad.

After Liu Feiyun's discipline training, the organization of group combat has improved a lot.

Now, they have to prove their worth on the land of the empire.
