Flying Clouds in Another World

Yunliu Camp is essentially a cavalry camp! There are even more horses in the camp than people.

After listening to the opinions of his subordinates, Liu Feiyun quickly decided on a plan that went in the opposite direction.

He first ordered everyone to only bring ten days' worth of dry food, a bag of water, and a bag of liquor, in addition to their weapons and armor. All other gold, silver, cloth, food, fodder, and vehicles were to be abandoned, and the gold, silver, and valuables were scattered everywhere.

In addition, most of the hundreds of jars of strong liquor in the ten carts could not be taken away. Liu Feiyun ordered his men to leave only a few dozen jars scattered in various corners of the camp, and to pour the rest on the tents, fodder and other flammable items.

After doing this, he led the entire camp to retreat south in a scattered formation.

After walking less than two miles south, they saw a thick cloud of dust in the distance ahead. To the east, a group of barbarian cavalry were flanking them from the flank.

"Humph! As expected! If we go further south, it must be a trap set by the barbarians! Let's turn around and head north to launch a surprise attack!"

Liu Feiyun snorted coldly and said!

Afterwards, he reorganized the formation and divided the entire camp into two groups, with Qin Jiu leading one group and himself leading the other, and they attacked the camp that had just been evacuated.

"Don't go into the camp and fight the enemy in close combat. Use bows and crossbows to shoot them from a distance. Prepare more rockets. I want to burn down the camp. We cannot leave even a single cent of our military supplies to the barbarians!"

Before dividing the troops, Liu Feiyun gave another order.

The Yunliu Camp had previously had a loose formation and was not moving very fast, so they changed formation quickly.

The enemy troops on the eastern flank were determined to intercept the Yunliu Camp, so they were moving very fast and heading southwest. The sudden change of formation by the Yunliu Camp to the north caught the barbarian cavalry off guard and they were unable to react for a while.

By the time the cavalry made the correct judgment and returned north, the Yunliu camp had already reached the abandoned camp several miles away.

"Oh no! Bata Ichigu is in big trouble!"

The cavalry commander said angrily.

When Yunliuying arrived at the camp, most of the barbarians in the camp were still looting property and had no time to mount their horses and form a battle formation to go out of the camp to fight.

However, the Yunliu camp had no plans to enter the camp, but instead split to the left and right, sticking close to the camp's barricades and trenches while shooting arrows and galloping northward.

These arrows actually did not cause much direct damage to the barbarians. Firstly, these barbarians were very scattered, and there were tents and other barriers. In addition, with the protection of armor, except for dozens of unlucky guys wearing leather armor who were shot to death, less than a hundred people were shot and injured.

However, the arrows tied with burning oilcloths soon ignited the tents, hay, vehicles and other objects that had been doused with liquor.

Because there was limited liquor, when Liu Feiyun evacuated earlier, he deliberately placed flammable materials soaked in liquor in a circle around the camp, leaving only a limited number of exits.

Now the fire started to spread and soon formed a circle of fire around the camp!

After the Yunliu camp set a circle of fire around the camp, they reunited and headed north.

Yunliuying left, but the fire in the camp grew bigger and bigger.

Since he was going to set fire to the entire camp, Liu Feiyun had naturally made many preparations. The fire on the edge of the camp soon spread into the camp along the kindling that had been left out.

In fact, the fire in the camp was not too fierce or hot, but there was so much smoke that it was choking people and making it impossible to open their eyes!

These barbarians no longer cared about the horsemen who were frightened by the fire and were running around. They were now running around in the camp like headless flies, blindly looking for a way out of the camp!

Balagu managed to break out of the camp with great difficulty under the protection of his personal guards, but most of his subordinates were still trapped in the camp.

"Quick! Quick! Put out the fire! Open a passage out of the camp quickly. The more passages we open, the better! Let more people get out of the camp. Otherwise! Our thousand-man team will be finished! Also, send people to collect the frightened war horses! Without the war horses, we can't do anything with just the men!"

Balagu shouted anxiously.

Soon, the two thousand-man teams that were supposed to intercept Yunliu Camp arrived. One of the thousand-man teams stayed to help put out the fire and rescue people, while the other team headed north to chase Yunliu Camp.

Soon, several teams of thousands of people bypassed the camp where the fire was gradually dying down, heading either north or northeast, all in pursuit of Yunliu Camp.

Finally, the fire in the camp was put out! To be more precise, there was not much left to burn, and it was difficult to continue.

After Bala Yigu recounted the troops, he immediately became dejected.

"More than 300 people died in a flash, and with the wounded being unable to fight again in a short period of time, only half of my thousand-man team is left!"

"Damn Chen people! Cunning Chen people! You don't dare to fight me in an upright battle, but resort to shady and dirty tricks! I will never let you go!"

"But now, how can I explain to Lord Wanfu?"

Bala Yigu had a sad face.

Liu Feiyun led the Yunliu Camp and marched northward for more than twenty miles before taking a short rest.

Along the way, they encountered several groups of barbarian soldiers.

However, the scale of these barbarians is not large, only about a hundred people, and they are all unarmored auxiliary soldiers.

They were either driving ox carts or horse carts, or herding flocks of sheep, apparently transporting supplies to the front line.

Fighting against these unarmored auxiliary soldiers, the Yunliu Camp naturally won easily.

It’s a pity that those supplies and cattle and sheep could not be taken away with the army.

"Next, let's discuss the next route of advance! Should we continue north! Or west or east!" Liu Feiyun took advantage of the short break to gather all the officers around him and asked with a smile.

For a moment, everyone started discussing the matter.

But after much discussion, the opinion of first heading east and then south, and finally joining the main army prevailed.

As a result, many people asked Liu Feiyun for orders and headed east.

However, Liu Feiyun shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that most people think that heading east is the right way! But I think that heading east is still a dead end. Only by heading north can there be a glimmer of hope!"

Everyone was surprised and looked at Liu Feiyun, waiting for his explanation.

Liu Feiyun did not keep the secret and said directly:

"Combining the battle reports from the past few days and the barbarian army that suddenly appeared around us this morning, we can draw a conclusion that the barbarians are much stronger than we expected!"

"Now they have revealed their hidden fangs and claws, hoping to annihilate our imperial army in the Northern Wilds!"

"But the population of the Northern Wilds is limited after all. It is impossible for us to really organize a million-strong army! We can bluff, but can't the Northern Wilds barbarians do the same?"

"However, there must be a considerable number of barbarians in the Master's place.

Fighting against them! And most likely surrounded!"

"If we go with only a few hundred people like us to join the Master, I'm afraid we'll be surrounded by the barbarians again before we even see the Master!"

"The only way we can survive is to go north to the barbarian tribe's rear area where their troops are emptied!"

"So! I have decided that the Yunliu Camp will continue to march north! Please obey my orders!"

Liu Feiyun finally said firmly in an unquestionable tone.
