Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 305: Imperial Edict 1: Rise, rise, rise!

Nearly one million barbarians have gathered at the former Sirius Royal Court on the shore of Sirius Lake. Looking around, there are endless camps stretching out as far as the eye can see.

However, although there were numerous camps and barbarians were everywhere, the number of barbarian soldiers was pitifully small.

In a large tent, a captain of ten thousand men looked at the former leaders of various tribes, the current ten thousand households, with dissatisfaction, and said in a heart full of regret:

"Why! You can only send out such a small number of people? Such a small number of weapons and armor? Nearly 200,000 households! Can you gather 100,000 people? What time is it now? Stop hiding your wealth! Are you waiting to deceive the little butcher?"

A Wan Hu hurriedly said: "Bluetok, it's not that we don't want to gather more people, it's just that we really don't have enough!"

Another Wan Hu said, "Yes! You also know that the young and strong men in each tribe have been transferred to the south by the king to fight against the main force of the Chen people! How many people are left in the tribal camp who can go to the battlefield to fight!"

"Right, right, right! Even if we count teenagers, old men over fifty or sixty, and strong women who can fight, each household can't gather too many people! Moreover, a lot of people have to be assigned to guard the slaves! Fifty or sixty thousand people is already the limit!"

"Yes, yes! Unless we kill all those slaves first, maybe we can get another 20,000 or 30,000!"

"No, no! If we really massacre those Chen slaves, I'm afraid that the little butcher will really kill twice as many people as our Beihuang people! By then, the warriors on the main battlefield ahead will be in big trouble!"

"Perhaps, we can arm those slaves from the Lone Wolf Tribe! Let them redeem themselves from their crimes and make amends for their crimes! After all, they are also people from the Northern Wilderness!"

"Well! I think it's okay! These people add up to about 20,000 or 30,000 people! After all, they are also the people of the Wolf God!"

"Agree!" "Agree!" "Agree!"

All the Wanhu quickly reached a consensus and looked at the Wanfu Captain Bluetok.

Although Bluetok was still not satisfied, he knew that this was the best solution at the moment. He could only say helplessly:

"Alright! This is the only way! My 10,000-man army, your 50,000-plus, plus the 20,000-plus from the Lone Wolf, totaling nearly 90,000."

"With these nearly 90,000 people, although it is difficult to defeat the slave army of the little butcher, it is more than enough to protect ourselves!"

"As long as we hold out for a day or two, the 10,000-man army from Vasdaro in the west will be here. If we hold out for a few more days, the hundreds of thousands of warriors drawn from the southern front will also be here!"

"When the time comes, not to mention the slaves of the little butcher, even that old bird will have to obediently spit out the stolen supplies and go back to his east!"

After Liu Feiyun led his troops to attack the hinterland of Sirius Lake, he did not continue to advance, but stopped and began to shrink and reorganize again.

First, the Yunliu Camp was reorganized, but there were less than a hundred old people left in the Student Camp. The rest were the most elite seven or eight hundred people selected from the more than 200,000 Chen people.

Secondly, the revenge army was expanded to 110,000 people, reaching its full strength.

In addition, he also formed a cavalry brigade mainly composed of barbarians, called the Yunhuang Brigade.

This army, one brigade and one battalion, totaling 115,000 people, was his main force.

As for the other Chen people, they were organized into auxiliary troops and no longer participated in offensive operations. They were only used to guard prisoners, transport supplies, and build and guard camps!

He stopped for eight days.

However, eight days later, he did not receive the expected barbarian army, but instead received a man who claimed to be an envoy of the emperor.

This is a powerful earth-level warrior whose cultivation has reached the great perfection of the cultivation master. He is also a eunuch.

"Our Chen Yisan is the absolute confidant of the Eunuch Chen, the head of the Inner Factory! This time, I traveled six or seven thousand miles in ten days just to convey two orders from His Majesty to you, and to convey a military order on behalf of General Wang!"

As soon as Chen Yisan saw Liu Feiyun, he went straight to the point.

Liu Feiyun hurriedly bowed and said, "The inner factory master, Uncle Chen's confidant, so in this way, the master can be considered as a family member!"

"Haha! It's not impossible for you to say that! After all, the factory owner and your father, the Earl, are close friends! Moreover, from now on, I will temporarily stay by your side and act as your bodyguard!"

"Act as my bodyguard!?"

"Yes, this is an oral order from the emperor, asking the factory master to personally select someone to protect you, and the factory master gave this task to me! His Majesty only issued an imperial decree before, appointing you as the commander of the imperial army, and then heard that you had won consecutive battles! So he issued another oral order, promoting you to the commander of the imperial army."

"The commander of the Imperial Guards? The commander of the Imperial Guards?"

"Yes! Your division will be organized by yourself and will be under the direct command of General Wang. In addition, His Majesty also asked you to lead the various units of the Xuehen Army. The Xuehen Army will be temporarily organized into a temporary militia, and arrangements will be made after the Northern Wilderness War! General Liu, General Liu, quickly gather everyone and prepare to receive the order!"

"Uh! Feiyun will go gather everyone to prepare!"

"Well! The sooner the better! Also, General Wang has given you an order to take the initiative to attack, create a bigger momentum, attract some of the main forces of the barbarian army to withdraw to the north to help, and create conditions for the decisive battle! Remember to think carefully about how to boost the morale of the army and prepare for another battle when the order is announced!"

"Yes! Father-in-law!"

Soon, tens of thousands of people gathered under a high platform, kneeling in a large crowd, waiting to receive the emperor's decree.

When Chen Yisan announced the decree, he used a secret technique that allowed his voice to travel extremely far, and at the same time, it could be clearly heard by everyone within half a mile of the platform.

When an imperial edict and an imperial decree were announced one after another, tens of thousands of people under the platform suddenly fell into ecstasy and excitement.

The previous revenge army was essentially civilians rather than the military, and in terms of identity they were a group of armed civilians.

But the current revenge army is a temporary village army. Although the village army is not even a local army, it is at least an official army, although it is only temporary!

This represents the emperor and the imperial court's recognition of the achievements and status of the Xuehen Army!

The establishment of the Yunliu Division means that more people have the opportunity to become soldiers of the Imperial Guard. There are still many people willing to risk their lives to gain an official position!

Finally, Liu Feiyun announced the reorganization plan of the Yunliu Division and the Xuehen Army, as well as the military order from General Wang!

"General Wang has ordered my Yunliu Division and the Xuehen Army to take the initiative to attack, rescue more compatriots, destroy the foundation of the Northern Wilderness Barbarians, and cooperate with the main army to completely eliminate the border troubles in the Northern Wilderness in one fell swoop, and return a peaceful and tranquil empire to this land!"

"You wait! Are you willing to join me in a battle and completely eliminate the threat to the northern border?"

Finally, Liu Feiyun shouted.

Countless people below the stage responded loudly:

"I am willing to obey the orders of the commander-in-chief!"

"Wherever the commander's flag points, that's the direction our revenge army will move in!"

"I swear to follow Master Marshal till death!"

Liu Feiyun's Yunliu Division was formed extremely quickly and was completed in less than a day!

In addition to directly incorporating the Yunhuang Brigade into the Yunliu Division, more than 20 battalions were directly drawn from the Xuehen Army.

The vacancies in the revenge army will be filled by the auxiliary troops.

After obtaining the imperial edict and reorganizing the Yunyou Division and Zhenkai Army, Liu Feiyun finally launched another attack.

He personally led the revenge army to attack the royal court, and at the same time sent Qin Jiu to lead the Yunliu division to make a detour to the west.

At this time, the Tianlang tribe’s royal camp had already gathered two regular 10,000-man troops, 10,000 auxiliary troops, and a temporary militia of 100,000 consisting of the old, weak, sick, young people, and strong women.

The two captains received orders from the king five days ago:

Within half a month, there was no reinforcement. Now they could only rely on themselves to hold back the little butcher. After the main battlefield was decided, the little butcher would no longer be a threat.

Because both sides wanted to delay the battle, it soon turned into a war of attrition.

The two sides fought fiercely for several days, with divisions, brigades or teams of ten thousand people, and the battle was evenly matched, with both sides winning and losing.

While the royal court was fighting a war of attrition in the east, the Yunliu Camp led by Qin Jiu launched an attack on the Northern Wilderness tribes at the western end of Tianlang Lake.

Now, one camp after another was breached by Qin Jiu. But Qin Jiu was neither greedy for wealth nor blindly seeking revenge and killing. He just wanted to save people! He would save as many as he could.

By the time the barbarians reacted and began to migrate eastward to join the barbarians in the royal court, Qin Jiu had already rescued more than 100,000 Chen slaves.
