Unfortunately, they were two hundred steps apart and the scene was noisy. Even though Ma Tingyun roared to the point of breaking his throat, Lu Ci didn't even hear him.
If troops are sent to assist, Qin Feng will definitely send troops to help, and the two sides will be entangled by then. For Ma Tingyun, this is definitely not a scene he wants to see.
As everyone knows, at this time, Qin Feng is not in the center camp, but in the forward camp!
Qin Feng stood in the tent in the center, observing Lu Ci a hundred steps away through the gap in the door curtain, and said coldly: "A hundred steps away, even a woman can shoot an arrow through."
"All riflemen are ordered to fire freely."
As soon as the words fell, the thousand-step archers in the forward battalion drew their bows and fired. Since they were only a hundred steps apart, the angle of the throw did not need to be too large.
The accuracy of these specially trained infantry archers was extremely reliable. In the first round of shooting, the dense rain of arrows knocked down more than a dozen Beidi cavalrymen.
At this moment, the second group of cavalry who had been wandering nearby discovered that Lu Ci was under attack and immediately rushed towards the first forward battalion.
More than two hundred cavalrymen began to attack and fire when they were less than fifty steps away from the forward camp.
Unfortunately, Qin Feng's forward archers had already turned around and returned to the camp when they discovered that the rangers were coming.
Each of these tents built by Tianji camp craftsmen is comparable to a handsome tent and is very large in scale.
From the outside, it doesn't look ordinary, but inside the tent is a secret. Except for the windows and doors specially set aside, the rest of the tent is sealed with wooden boards.
The cavalry's horse bows were originally weak, and with a clanking sound, all the arrows were stuck on the wooden board.
The windows of the tents were specially designed to be low, with the lower edge just at the waist of the soldiers.
In this way, the infantry archer only needs to open the curtain, stand by the window, and fight back against the cavalry wandering outside.
Horse archers faced off against infantry archers, and the infantry archers were still hiding in the tents. The result was predictable.
More than 200 cavalrymen harassed them for several rounds, but it was difficult to cause substantial damage. On the contrary, as long as those cavalrymen were thirty steps away from the camp, they would be accurately shot by the infantry archers.
Lu Ci's second group of cavalry only made three trips and left behind more than thirty corpses.
The captain of the second team immediately realized that if he continued to change arrows, even if all the cavalry were replaced, it would be difficult to cause any substantial damage to Qin Feng's forward archers.
Finally, the captain of the second team decisively ordered: "Charge!"
The remaining less than 200 cavalrymen picked up their horses and rushed towards the tents. They looked at the dense arrows stuck on the tents and knew very well that these tents must have been specially reinforced, so they were not as heavy as usual. That way, he could just use his horse to destroy the tent.
Instead, he rushed directly into the tent or rushed to the window, relying on the length of the horse's pole to stab inside.
In the view of the captain of the second team, the cavalry dealing with the infantry archers was simply a one-sided massacre. However, when the frequent screams rang out, the captain of the second team realized something was wrong.
The people who screamed were all cavalry under his command!
How is this going? !
The captain of the second team took a closer look and realized that the forward archers had already put down their bows and arrows, took out a nearly two-foot-long horse pole from the tent, and kept knocking the cavalry off their horses.
Often a cavalryman has to face the siege of five, six, or even seven or eight infantry archers.
In the blink of an eye, the number of cavalry was cut in half again, leaving less than a hundred people.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the captain decisively ordered: "Retreat! Everyone obeys the order and retreats!"
Unfortunately, he overlooked one thing. These forward archers can put down their horses at any time and change weapons immediately.
When the cavalry turned around and retreated, the infantry archers changed their weapons immediately, rushed out of the camp, aimed at the backs of the cavalry, and fired accurately.
When the second group of cavalry returned to Lu Ci, there were less than fifty cavalry left.
Seeing that the second team suffered so many casualties, Lu Ci couldn't help but become angry. He pulled the captain of the second team off his horse and shouted hysterically: "Trash, you damn bitch, do you have donkey hair stuffed in your head?!"
"With just a few people, you dare to charge into the enemy camp. I think you are braver than General Chen Si!"
The captain of the second team looked aggrieved: "General, if I don't charge the camp, those infantry archers will definitely continue to shoot indiscriminately here. When the time comes..."
Before the captain of the second team could finish speaking, Lu Ci had already pushed him away.
Because Lu Ci knew very well that at a distance of a hundred steps, an archer could shoot an arrow even with his eyes closed. Follow the principle that a blind cat meets a dead mouse.
As long as the arrows are shot in the approximate direction and the number of arrows is large enough, there will always be that unlucky guy who will be shot down by the arrows.
"How long will it take to bury the body?" Lu Ci yelled.
The lieutenant general had a dark face. Although he was unhappy in his heart, he could only pretend to be in awe: "General, we haven't even finished digging the hole. How can we have time to bury it?"
"There were so many corpses and there were no tools around, so the soldiers could only use their swords to dig holes."
At this moment, Ma Tingyun had already sent someone to come out to dissuade him.
"General Lu, return to the city quickly. If you don't go back, Qin Feng's second battalion of cavalry will come over."
Lu Ci was in a dilemma for a while. If he went back in despair and left two hundred corpses behind, instead of boosting the morale of the army, it would accelerate the collapse of morale.
If they bite the bullet and continue to bury the corpses, even if the enemy's forward archers shoot with their eyes closed, they will cause a large number of casualties to Lu Ci's cavalry.
Just when Lu Ci was having a hard time making a decision, the captain of the second team suddenly pointed in the direction of the forward camp and shouted: "General, the enemy's infantry archers are here!"
What?
Lu Ci turned around and took a look, and sure enough he found that Liang Guo's more than a hundred foot archers were already far away from the camp, and were more than thirty steps closer.
Lu Ci couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Hahaha, what an idiot!"
"After gaining a little advantage, he started to get carried away and dared to leave the camp and advance!"
Lu Ci waved his hand: "Team one, immediately trample to death all those ignorant infantry archers!"
