Flying Clouds in Another World

"The sky is vast, the wilderness is boundless, the wind blows the grass low and the cattle and sheep are revealed!"

In early March, Liu Feiyun finally set foot on the land of the Northern Wilderness Prairie with the army!

While riding on a horse, Liu Feiyun somehow remembered this poem and recited it out loud.

However, on this vast grassland, there are no cattle or sheep to be seen except for some dry yellow grass.

"Master! It's only March now. Except for those places on the north bank of the lake, sheltered from the wind and facing the sun, most of the pasture grass has not turned green yet! Even the hay won't be much! Most of the cattle, sheep and horses are now in the pasture for the winter! You can't see them now!"

Tuo Dajun couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"Yes! Now, let alone cattle and sheep, even the war horses and even the pack of wolves that eat meat are all skinny and weak! Otherwise, why would we choose this time to come to the Northern Wilderness!"

Liu Feiyun sighed, then looked around and looked at the marching troops from this camp.

Liu Feiyun's camp was lazily named Yunliu Camp!

In fact, he also wanted to come up with a more majestic and domineering name, but given his level of naming, well, it’s better not to mention it.

His subordinates discussed it over and over again, and finally the name he mentioned casually was recognized by most people.

There are more than 800 people in Yunliu Camp now. Although the number is not large, there are many factions within it.

Let’s talk about the students in the military academy first. They are divided into the wealthy and powerful group and the lower class group. The wealthy and powerful group can be further divided into the noble and powerful group and the wealthy commoner group.

When recruiting soldiers in Tianyuan Square, seventeen or eighteen real civilians were recruited, who could be further divided into martial arts practitioners and retired military officers.

Most of these retired officers were people who were excluded and oppressed in other military forces and were forced to leave the military, but they did not know how to make a living elsewhere, so they came to Liu Feiyun to try their luck. After some testing, Liu Feiyun reappointed them as junior officers.

Finally, there was the Liu Family Army, which he trusted the most! However, it was divided into two small factions, the Iron Guard Faction and the Northern Wilderness Faction, led by Qin Jiu and Tuo Dajun respectively.

Of course, there is another faction that is not a faction, the Wenli faction!

When Liu Feiyun thought of these things, he had a headache:

These people formed their own factions in a very short time and elected their own leaders!

They usually like each other! They always think that everyone is good and you are not! Although they haven't reached the point of sabotaging each other or scheming against each other, they definitely can't be said to get along well and be of one mind.

"Alas! Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes! I can only hope that when we get to the battlefield, they won't trick me into watching their allies in distress and not helping them!"

Liu Feiyun was just daydreaming when he heard a messenger coming on horseback, shouting, "The commander has an order! Set up camp by the lake ahead!"

Liu Feiyun looked up at the still high red sun and muttered, "Why are we setting up camp so early?"

This is an unknown small lake. Liu Feiyun estimated that it is less than one square kilometer in size. A small river runs through the lake and goes north.

At this time, the outline of a well-organized camp has taken shape. Teams of soldiers are entering in an orderly manner, finding their own positions and setting up camp according to the plan made in advance.

Just when Liu Feiyun had just set up the camp, another military order came, asking him to go to the division commander's tent to discuss matters!

When he arrived at the division commander's tent, he saw that the tent was full of generals at the level of brigade commanders. He couldn't help but feel strange: It seems that a student camp like his is a little different in the eyes of the division commander!

Although the people in the tent didn't ignore this young boy, they definitely didn't want to get close to him! At most, there were only two or three people who nodded at him.

"It seems that even though Master Marshal treats me differently, others probably think I'm just a useless person who is just trying to gain experience!"

Liu Feiyun smiled bitterly in his heart.

Soon, ten brigade commanders and deputy brigade commanders from the five brigades of the division arrived, followed by the division commander, deputy division commander, and several division planners and military affairs officers.

In the imperial military system, one army has five divisions and one brigade, one division has five brigades and one battalion, and one brigade has five battalions and one column. Of course, this is the full staffing, and in fact, only the five armies of the Beijing Army can reach full staffing.

There are three levels: army, division and brigade. Each level has two generals and two deputy generals, as well as a number of military affairs and planning personnel.

The generals are responsible for commanding operations, the planners are responsible for making plans, and the military affairs are responsible for military law and miscellaneous matters!

In the military, those who can be called generals, strictly speaking, are only the chief and deputy commanders! Even the deputy commanders cannot be called generals! At least they must be the chief commanders.

Because the Empire has a military rank system that is similar to the military rank system of another time and space.

Soldiers can be divided into two categories according to the nature of their military service: those who are recruited are soldiers, and those who serve are soldiers! Soldiers fight for their career, and when their service is over, they can take off their armor and become civilians!

Generally speaking, the highest a soldier can achieve is 10th rank, and he can also obtain the rank of warrior!

The captain is a low-ranking officer.

The military rank is Ruishi.

The sergeant is a mid-level officer with the rank of captain!

The battalion commander is a senior military officer with the rank of colonel.

Military ranks above brigade commander are generals, and the three levels of brigade, division and army correspond to brigadier general, major general and lieutenant general respectively.

As for the military ranks of general and marshal, only the generals of various prefectures and military leaders in the capital are eligible to obtain them.

Liu Feiyun’s current military rank is lieutenant colonel, while the five deputy brigade commanders and the deputy military affairs and deputy planners of the division are only lieutenants colonels, and there are only eight real generals.

One more thing, even though planning and military affairs are civilian duties, they are still capable of wearing armor and killing people on the battlefield.

"Everyone is here? Great! I won't waste any more words and will directly convey the military order from the commander-in-chief!"

The division commander Zuo Kangnian said solemnly: "According to the secret report from the outside factory! Last month, Tamu Wuhe of the Tianlang tribe felt that the title of Wolf King Khan was not loud enough, so he changed his title to Lord of Cangmang! He slaughtered the leaders of dozens of tribes of the Lone Wolf tribe in one go! And he divided their tribes with several other large tribes!"

"Moreover, the Tianlang tribe got tens of thousands of sets of standard armor from somewhere, and brazenly said they would annihilate our imperial army! What a joke! Just tens of thousands of sets of armor made him like this! If I gave him 100,000 or 200,000 sets of armor, would he dare to go to heaven?"

When he said this, everyone in the tent couldn't help but smile, but some were smiling, some were laughing! A few people even looked at Liu Feiyun intentionally or unintentionally.

Zuo Kangnian also laughed and said, "Back then, the barbarians in the Northern Wilderness racked their brains to collect hundreds of thousands of sets of armor, but Liu the Butcher wiped out most of them in one battle. Later, Liu the Butcher chased them to the shore of Tianlang Lake and burned down their royal court! Now, I'm afraid that Tamuwuhe has healed his wounds and forgotten the pain!"
