Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 372: Liu Family Cavalry Charges Forward

In the ice and snow, a fierce battle broke out.

Although the Jinzhou Army had a large number of people, they were ambushed while on the march. The long marching formation made it impossible for them to concentrate all their forces to fight, so they could only use the tactic of adding fuel to the fire.

On the other hand, the morale of the Liu family army in Yunzhou was greatly boosted after they concentrated their forces to defeat the weak rear troops of the Jinzhou army.

Jinzhou is bitterly cold and its people are good at fighting, while Anya borders the northern wilderness and its people are also brave and valiant.

As for weapons and equipment, there is not much difference between the two sides; they just have different focuses.

As for fighting experience, it is hard to tell who is better on both sides. From soldiers to generals, there are few on both sides who have not seen a battle.

Morale! At this time, it became one of the important factors that determined the outcome of this battle.

The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and gradually the situation became a stalemate. For a while, no one could quickly defeat the other.

Feng Boshan was angry and frightened at the same time. He did not expect that the Liu family could quickly increase the combat effectiveness of tens of thousands of troops in such a short period of time.

"Didn't they say that the elite troops of the Liu family only number a few thousand? But why are the combat effectiveness of these tens of thousands of people not low? Even if they can win this battle, I'm afraid it will only be a miserable victory! It's really not worth the loss!"

Feng Boshan had long lost the pride he had when he first set out on the expedition.

"General Feng, how about I lead the army to continue forward and attack Anping County! Since the Liu family has dispatched tens of thousands of people here, their hometown must be empty. Once I break into their lair, the morale of the Liu family soldiers here will surely collapse! Then our army may be able to win in one battle!"

Yuan Yanxi, who had rushed to see Feng Boshan upon hearing that the rear team had been attacked, thought for a moment and made a definite suggestion after understanding the battle situation.

Feng Boshan thought about it, then nodded:

"You might as well go and attack Anping! Anyway, your 20,000 newly joined soldiers may not be able to resist the ambush set up by the Liu family."

"However, you must remember that it is enough to bluff, and you must not really attack! Anping County has survived the Northern Wilderness raids several times, and there must be a reason for it! You must remember this!"

Yuan Yanxi and Feng Boshan agreed so readily and excitedly led their personal guards away.

Not long after, Yuan Yanxi led more than 20,000 men of his unit to speed up, quickly crossed the frozen Linshui River, passed the deserted Nanhe Posthouse, and rushed towards Anping County.

South of the Lin River, in Nanyuan County, the armies of both sides were still fighting and were still evenly matched.

In terms of overall military strength, the Jinzhou Army has the upper hand, while in direct fighting on the battlefield, the Liu Family Army has the upper hand.

But soon, the deadlock was broken!

Because the Liu family’s cavalry unit finally went into battle!

The heavy cavalry battalion of Anya Division's cavalry brigade had 800 men, plus two columns of about 300 men drawn from Huwei Yunhu, totaling 1,100 heavy cavalry, slowly pressed up along the official road.

The Thousand Heavy Armored Cavalry were extremely slow at first, but they were gradually accelerating while constantly expanding their formation. On both sides of the Thousand Heavy Armored Cavalry, there was a battalion of light armored cavalry to support them.

At this time, the Jinzhou Army focused all its attention on the main battlefield in the south, and the guard forces sent to the north were somewhat insufficient.

In addition, the Liu family's light cavalry scouts used special long crossbows with extremely long range to hunt down these small numbers of guard troops, and Feng Boshan did not discover these cavalry in time.

When Feng Boshan realized that the Ji family cavalry was coming from the north, it was already too late.

"Damn it! Cavalry! How could I forget about the Liu family's cavalry! Although it snowed a lot, it was only a light snow! For the elite cavalry, they can still go into battle! I can only hope that there are not too many elite cavalry of the Liu family!"

However, things happened to go against what Feng Boshan had expected. This time, thousands of armored cavalrymen from the Liu family were mobilized in full force.

The original formation of the Jinzhou Army was a long snake formation, but after being attacked, it slowly turned into a cone formation like an acute triangle.

The entire formation is sharp in the north and wide in the south, with the northern part on standby for support while the southern part is caught in a tough battle.

But now, the light cavalry of the two battalions of the Liu family army raided both sides of the Jinzhou army's formation, and thousands of cavalry rushed straight to the top of the formation.

The formation of thousands of heavily armored cavalrymen was also a cone-shaped formation, but it was dozens of times smaller than the large formation of the Jinzhou Army. The tip of the formation continued to advance southward, constantly reorganizing until it turned into a charge.

The two spikes collided, one actively collided, the other was passively collided. One was like a red-hot steel cone, the other was like an ice cone in the cold winter. The steel cone was indestructible, while the ice cone melted and shattered.

The Jinzhou Army is not without organized cavalry, but they are not under Feng Boshan. He only has less than a thousand cavalrymen acting as scouts. The absolute main force is still infantry, and lightly armored infantry at that. How can they resist the heavily armored cavalry!

The heavy cavalry continued to crush and advance, two battalions of light cavalry were raiding the two wings, and two battalions of light cavalry followed up, and behind the cavalry, there were a large number of infantry deployed in a wide formation.

"Asshole! How many people are there in the Liu family army? Could it be that the Liu family also has an army of 100,000? How is this possible!?"

Feng Boshan was so frightened that he went completely crazy!
