Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 349 What to do when the city is surrounded

As half of the rebel cavalry were killed, they were frightened and finally collapsed completely under the third charge of the Yunhu Camp's heavy cavalry and began to flee in all directions.

When Liu Feiyun saw that the rebel cavalry actually dared to charge against his heavy armor, he was stunned at first, and then he could only adjust his tactics in silence.

"The heavy armor has been pinned down! Tiemushan, Tiemuling, you two charge forward and tear open a gap in the enemy's infantry formation!"

"The Cloud Tiger Battalion will follow closely behind me, and the rest of the troops will attack from the side of the enemy's formation as planned!"

"Pay attention to maintaining speed, choosing a good route, being quick, accurate and ruthless, maintaining formation, and never getting involved in close combat!"

"Yes!" All the generals accepted the order in unison.

When the three hundred heavily armored soldiers were confronting half of the rebel cavalry, the Tiemu brothers and their wives, all wearing heavy armor, ran towards the rebel infantry formation.

Although the four men did not ride horses, they ran no slower than war horses.

The giant axe and the wolf-tooth club are in front, and two specially made long-handled swords provide cover later.

After the four of them were Liu Feiyun and two cultivator masters, as well as a dozen human-level masters in the cultivator realm, and behind them were the powerful soldiers of the Yunhu Camp!

More than twenty spearmen in the rebel army raised their spears and stabbed at the Tiemu brothers who were rushing in the front.

But with a sweep of their giant axes and a swing of their huge sticks, the Tiemu brothers easily broke the spear as thick as the boy's arm, like a small wooden stick.

Amidst the flying of broken spears, the two brothers rushed to the front of the rebel army and launched a one-sided massacre, easily tearing a hole in the spear defense line at the front of the rebel army's infantry formation.

The two specially made long swords behind the two men were waving, further widening the gap!

With the rapid advance of Tiemu and his wife, and the follow-up of Liu Feiyun and others, the hole became bigger and deeper!

At the same time, the light cavalry on both wings also launched attacks from the flanks of the chaotic army.

Even those unarmored barbarian cavalrymen, seeing the army begin to charge, were inspired with bravery and simply launched an attack on the other half of the chaotic cavalry.

When the three hundred heavily armored soldiers defeated more than a thousand rebel cavalry and were preparing to attack the rebel infantry formation, they suddenly discovered that several hundred cavalrymen led by Liu Feiyun had already broken through the rebel infantry formation and were reorganizing their formation to launch a second charge.

Shi Mingchi looked at the two lightly armored cavalry units that were still charging and shouted:

"The charge still depends on our heavy cavalry. Brothers, let him see carefully! Who is the real elite of the Cloud Tiger Battalion!"

"Yes!" Three hundred brave soldiers responded loudly!

Shi Mingchi was originally the second son of Marquis Wenxin. Logically, he should not have followed Liu Feiyun to the Liu family.

However, Shi Mingchi was not a legitimate son. Not only was he not valued by Marquis Wenxin, he was also often suppressed and discriminated against by his legitimate brothers.

That's why he entered the military academy in a rage and joined Liu Feiyun's student camp!

He didn't think highly of Liu Feiyun at first, but because the leaders of other student camps refused to recruit him for the sake of his eldest brother, and he was determined to make achievements, he had to join the Yunliu Camp!

But a series of events that followed made him change his opinion of Liu Feiyun, and finally made him decide to cling to Liu Feiyun, even at the cost of breaking with his family.

Of course, he was very special in Yunliu Camp. Everyone in Yunliu Camp was Liu Feiyun's private slave, but he was an exception.

Liu Feiyun really didn't dare and couldn't take him as his private slave! Otherwise, Wen Xinhou would have to go to the old man's house and make a scene every day!

After Shi Mingchi led three hundred heavily armored soldiers to join the charge, the rebel army's infantry formation truly became a chaotic army.

In fact, it seems simple for cavalry to attack infantry formations, as if all the cavalry needs to do is to charge forward with the help of horsepower.

But in reality, it’s not that simple.

The arrangement and composition of the cavalry's charge formation, the coordination of weapons, the timing of speeding up the horses, the choice of charge targets, the selection of charge routes, the prediction of possible countermeasures that the charged enemy may take, and the response plans for various emergencies after the charge.

Without regular and solid training and experience from bloody battles, it would be unlikely for either soldiers or generals to be able to handle such things.

Although the thousands of troops under Liu Feiyun's command had their own flaws, either because they had been formed too recently or because they lacked combat experience, the chaotic troops made Gongsun Yian even more disappointed:

At this time, his own infantry formation was in complete chaos, having been scattered by the government cavalry, and it was difficult to unify the command!

Half of his three thousand cavalrymen had already collapsed, and the other half was about to collapse!

"It's over! It's over! Who would have thought that this little butcher is so good at fighting! And the 25,000 so-called elite soldiers that I am so proud of are so weak. What should I do?"

Gongsun Yian was now truly terrified, his previous hope was long gone.

The moment Liu Feiyun's cavalry rushed out of the chaotic army's formation, the gates of Anping City opened wide, and five hundred Tiger-Power Iron Guards rushed out and headed straight for the chaotic army's infantry formation. Following them were five hundred local soldiers, and behind them were one thousand militiamen.

Although there were only 2,000 people, they killed the rebels and forced them to retreat as soon as they engaged in battle, making the already confused rebels even more confused! The already fearful rebels became even more terrified!

The rebel army finally collapsed completely and began to flee everywhere like headless flies!

But where can they escape to!

When Liu Feiyun saw the defenders in the city charging out, he immediately ordered all the cavalry to change the charge into a circle.

They no longer directly attacked the enemy formation, but mainly used bows and crossbows to drive them away from outside the formation. Only a small number of cavalry were responsible for intercepting and killing the disorderly troops who tried to escape.

After the chaotic troops tried to escape but failed, they finally became dejected and obedient, gathered together, and waited for the judgment of fate.

Liu Feiyun also stopped the army and took turns to rest.

Seven thousand people surrounded nearly twenty thousand rebel troops!

Although the rebel army still had the advantage in numbers, at least half of them were injured and temporarily lost their combat effectiveness, while the other half no longer dared to take the initiative to fight. They were really scared.

"Big Chief? What should we do?"

Gongsun Yian was faced with the questions from the leaders and didn't know how to answer for a moment:

Fight again!? That would be suicide!

Surrender!? But he really didn't want to! After all, there were still 50,000 or 60,000 troops under Anping City!

However, among the 50,000 to 60,000 rebel troops, more than half of them were the elderly, the weak, women and children. It might be okay to bluff and make a scene, but if they really faced the government troops armed to the teeth, I am afraid they would not be able to defeat even two or three thousand people!

How to do?

"Look! Our family is here to save us!" a sergeant suddenly shouted.

"Jia Xiao!? Rescue!?"

Gongsun Yian was immediately confused: How dare those old men and women, women and children come to rescue us?
