Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 324: The Battle is Intensifying and the Camp is Attacked

Except for a very small number of high-quality thick plate armor, no matter it is lamellar armor, chain mail, scale armor, or even thin plate armor, as long as there are gaps between the armor plates, or the armor plates are too thin, they will often be penetrated by the tip of a spear.

As for leather armor, that's even easier.

The Lancers simply charged into the battle formation, but did not engage in close combat; instead, they charged past.

After the Lancers came the Long Sword Cavalry, which were fewer in number than the Light Cavalry but more lethal.

Most of them wore light iron armor or even leather armor, wielding long swords, slashing left and right, and engaging in close combat with the barbarians whose formation had been broken up.

Soon, more and more cavalrymen armed with other melee weapons joined the battle, and soon they were outnumbered by the tens of thousands of barbarians.

Mixed together.

In the end, the entire right wing of Liu Feiyun's army was engaged in a melee with the invading barbarians.

“Hahahaha! The little butcher’s right wing is already in chaos. Now, I want to make his left wing chaotic as well!”

Kulibutai laughed loudly and sent out three more teams of 10,000 people to charge directly at the left wing of Liu Feiyun's army.

"Let Tushiti Luo lead his troops and the Yunhuang Army to go out and learn from the barbarians. Use bows to harass the barbarians from a distance, but don't engage in close combat with them. Once you've made contact, harass the barbarians' main formation! Remember to keep your distance and don't engage in close combat!"

Seeing more barbarian soldiers pressing towards the left wing of his army, Liu Feiyun immediately gave orders to the messenger.

Soon, 14,000 cavalrymen, led by Tushiti Luo, headed north, but they did not confront the barbarians head-on, but instead avoided them by an arrow's distance.

The two armies passed each other, shot a round of arrows at each other, and then rushed towards the other side's main camp.

At this time, there were still more than 30,000 people in Kulibutai who had not moved, and Liu Feiyun also had more than 30,000 people on standby!

"Let the remaining troops on the left wing move outwards. All the crossbows of the Central Army and Militia are turned around and continue to attack the enemies attacking our left wing!"

Liu Feiyun issued another military order.

At this time, there were only more than 10,000 people left on the left wing. After receiving the order, they immediately retreated to the left side of the formation.

At the same time, the crossbows that were originally facing forward began to change their shooting direction and aimed at the barbarians who were attacking the left wing.

The barbarian general saw that the cavalry on the left wing of Chen's army took the initiative to avoid outwards, exposing the flank of the center army. He felt that it would be difficult to attack these light cavalry who took the initiative to avoid outwards, so he simply turned right and headed straight for the center of Chen's army.

In the militia crossbow formation, the first to attack were the light bed crossbows, followed by the heavy infantry crossbows and a small number of long crossbows, and finally the ordinary infantry crossbows.

The crossbow can fire several arrows at once, and the iron arrows it uses are much thicker and heavier than ordinary arrows. It can be considered a small spear, but its range is longer and its power is greater.

Although the barbarian soldier rushing in the front was wearing the best quality iron armor in the barbarian army, he was still pierced by the thick iron arrows and was carried by the iron arrows to hit the barbarian soldiers behind him, becoming the first person in a string of human candied haws.

Nearly a hundred crossbows immediately killed hundreds of elite barbarian soldiers.

Soon after, the iron arrows of the heavy infantry crossbow and the long crossbow also arrived. There was not much difference between the two, both were hard crossbows with long ranges, and the only difference was the accuracy of the hit.

It's like the difference between a rifle and a sniper rifle in another time and space.

Soon, after suffering heavy casualties, the barbarians were within the range of ordinary crossbows.

"The fully armored cavalry are ready to counter-charge. Once the crossbow arrows have stopped, launch the counter-charge immediately! After the fully armored cavalry charges out, the spearmen will immediately charge forward and form a formation to protect the crossbowmen!"

Liu Feiyun gave another order.

The flag bearer below the stage waved the command flag, and at the same time several messengers rode on horses to deliver the order.

This central army formation was composed of 10,000 militiamen and three brigades of the Zhenhuang Army, totaling more than 20,000 people. Among the three brigades, there were two fully armored cavalry brigades and one guard brigade.

The big formation was made up of hundreds of small formations in rows. The small formations were arranged in a staggered manner, with more or less distance between each small formation, and the distance changed with the changes in the battle situation.

When the crossbowmen finished shooting a round of arrows, they immediately contracted from a straight line formation to a dense square formation to make way for the fully armored cavalry.

Eight thousand fully armored cavalrymen rushed out from the gaps between the small formations of crossbowmen, like dozens of arrows, rushing out to meet the attacking barbarians.

After only rushing out a few dozen steps, he collided with the barbarians.

At this time, many of the elite barbarian soldiers who were rushing in the front had been shot to death by crossbow arrows. The momentum of the attack slowed down a little, and the already loose formation became even more chaotic.

After these fully armored cavalrymen charged again, dozens of large holes were immediately created, and these fully armored cavalrymen broke through the formation.

Some of the barbarians whose formation was disrupted continued to attack the center of Chen's army, while others fell into complete chaos.

The part of the barbarians who attacked the center of Chen's army soon ran into a long snake-like spear formation that had been lined up outside the crossbow formation.

First they were shot by arrows, then by crossbow arrows, and finally by fully armored cavalry that broke through their formation. At this time, the momentum of their high-speed attack had been completely broken.

The barbarians, who had lost their momentum of high-speed attack, were soon surrounded by the forest of long spears and sharp spears.

Blocked, stabbed, and engaged in close combat.

At the same time, Tushiti Luo led a brigade of archers from the Zhenhuang Army headquarters and the barbarian soldiers from the Yunhuang tribe, and began to launch long-range projectile attacks around Kulibutai's main formation.

Kulibutai immediately ordered his troops to keep their formation in place while firing back with bows and arrows.

But he was already feeling a little uneasy at this moment.

"Why hasn't Wutaqing come yet? Are they really going to let me and that little butcher have a head-on fight?"

Kulibutai was just thinking about it when he heard several scouts coming to report.

"Report...! Three miles to the left of our army, about 10,000 soldiers and cavalry from the Aokong tribe are charging towards our army!"

"Report...! From the right wing of our army, more than 10,000 soldiers from the Lone Wolf Tribe are coming to attack us!"

"Report...! The rear camp was suddenly attacked by the Red Fox King, with tens of thousands of people! The Black Wolf King has led his troops to support the rear camp!"

Kulibutai suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

"The Red Fox Tribe!? ... They are rebelling too? Assholes! How can the Red Fox Tribe be so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter! Why are they rebelling at this very moment!"

Soon, black smoke suddenly rose from the direction of the royal camp in the rear.

When tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers who had not yet been put into battle saw the thick smoke billowing from the direction of the camp in the rear, they immediately became uneasy and became confused.

"Great Wizard, our army has already suffered over 10,000 casualties! And the little butcher has received two reinforcements. Our military advantage is not that great anymore! Why not... withdraw our troops and fight again another day!"

"Yes! The Royal Court Camp is the most important! The small country's ruler is the most important! Great Wizard! Let's retreat first! After all, among these 100,000 soldiers, only 60 to 70 percent are true warriors!"

"Let's avoid its sharp edge first!"

A group of generals couldn't help but feel like retreating!

The last time Liu Feiyun broke into the royal camp, they suffered heavy losses!

This time, the Red Fox tribe's attack made them even more frightened:

The Red Fox Tribe was our former ally! But now that they have betrayed the Canglang Tribe, what about the other core tribes? The other tribes are not the Black Wolf Tribe controlled by Wutaqing, the disciple of the Great Wizard?
