Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 373 1: Fight to Win (Part )

No matter how crazy Feng Boshan was, it was of no avail. The massive attack of the Liu family cavalry tore through the Jinzhou army's formation bit by bit, and at the same time extinguished the will to win of most of the Jinzhou army's soldiers.

Cavalry has a natural suppressive effect on infantry.

Of course, infantry is not incapable of fighting against cavalry, but that requires the infantry to have corresponding weapons and armor equipment and form corresponding military formations. The Jinzhou army at this time obviously did not have these two conditions.

Especially when they saw countless infantrymen pressing forward from behind the cavalry, they became even more panicked.

As a result, countless Jinzhou army soldiers began to flee in all directions on both sides of the official road, the huge military formation began to break into small formations, and then further collapsed into a pile of loose sand.

More and more people no longer obey orders, more and more people no longer fight to the death.

On the other hand, the various units of the Liu family army were fighting bravely and their cooperation with each other was more and more tacit.

When the heavily armored cavalry broke through the Jinzhou army formation and both the men and horses were about to run out of strength, the oncoming Liu family infantry automatically made way and allowed them to rest behind their own army formation.

When all the heavy cavalry had passed through the formation, the infantry formation closed again and continued to attack northward.

One side has high morale and a tight military formation, while the other side has collapsed morale and its military momentum is gone. When the two forces are equal in strength and the weapons are not much different, victory or defeat is already determined.

The Jinzhou army began to retreat, and the Liu family army fought bravely for victory. When the heavy cavalry returned to the battlefield after a short rest, the Jinzhou army was completely defeated.

The battle lasted for several hours, from noon to dusk. The battlefield also expanded from the two sides of the official road at the beginning to an area of ​​dozens of miles in radius, and even affected Nanyuan County.

Feng Boshan, leading a group of his personal guards, finally escaped from the main battlefield. However, less than half an hour after fleeing south, they were entangled by a group of light cavalry from the Liu family.

After finally repelling this light cavalry, Feng Boshan was left with less than a hundred men.

When they arrived at the city of Nanyuan, they found that the gates were closed and the defenders refused to let them in no matter what.

"Damn Yunzhou people! Shameless Yunzhou people! They rebelled without hesitation! When I return with my army in the future, I will definitely massacre everyone in this city!"

Although Feng Boshan was angry, he had no choice but to continue fleeing.

"Now that Nanyuan has betrayed us, I'm afraid that Anya Mansion will not be safe! We have to go back to Jinyun Pass first, after all, there are tens of thousands of Jinzhou soldiers there!"

Feng Boshan made a decision after a little thought and led his men eastward.

Just when the outcome of the main battlefield had been decided, on a hill outside Nanheyi Town, Liu Feiyun watched dozens of pigeons take off into the sky and fly in different directions.

At this moment, his long-suspenseful heart finally settled down.

To be honest, Liu Feiyun did not have the confidence to win this battle.

Because he knew that the Jinzhou Army was by no means comparable to those rioters and rebels. Whether in terms of weapons and equipment or training level, they were much superior to those rioters and rebels, and their morale would never be too low.

Not to mention, the Jinzhou Army also has an advantage in terms of military strength.

Although the main force of the Jinzhou Army commanded by Feng Boshan could not have 100,000 men, there were at least 70,000 or 80,000 men, and the number of soldiers and horses actually coming from Jinzhou would not be less than 50,000.

The number of troops he could mobilize to fight against them would not exceed 30,000.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to transfer more people, but he only has 30,000 soldiers.

Moreover, not all of these armors are standard iron armors, most of them are leather armors or even broken armors.

Whether a soldier has armor to protect him can determine his life or death.

The proportion of armor in an army directly affects the combat effectiveness of the army.

So he had to take advantage of the fact that he had stockpiled a large amount of winter clothes and set an ambush in the cold night, hoping to catch Feng Boshan by surprise.

As a result, what he didn't expect was that his mortal enemy Yuan Yanxi actually tricked him into giving him a great assist:

Yuan Yanxi actually led about 20,000 troops and went ahead.

Originally, he was worried that the cannon fodder would consume the momentum of his cavalry's attack. Now, he could directly order the cavalry to attack the local troops from Jinzhou.

He was not worried at all that the newly-attached troops led by Yuan Yanxi would be able to capture his base camp, Anping County and Liu Mansion. Without Jinzhou's local troops to supervise the battle, God knows how much combat power these newly-attached troops would have left.

Soon after he had deployed all his forces to launch a full-scale offensive against Feng Boshan's main force, and saw that a large number of Jinzhou soldiers began to abandon their armor and flee, he knew that he had won again this time.

So he immediately ordered the release of carrier pigeons and launched the next major counterattack.
