Lu Ci felt excited. As long as he killed this group of intruding archers, he would have regained his position and could lead the team back to the city. As for burying the corpse, it was indeed too troublesome after conducting on-the-spot operations.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would have listened to Ma Tingyun and wouldn't have fallen into this dilemma.
A group of cavalry had already launched a charge against the advancing infantry archers.
As a result, before the horses could fully start running, the infantry archers in the forward camp had already fired a volley.
After estimating the distance, these archers almost aimed their arrows at the sky. As soon as they loosened their grip, the densely packed arrows formed a parabola with a large elevation angle, directly covering a group of cavalry.
At the same time, the rash archer squatted down and fired directly.
Hit by two arrows from above and from the front, a group of cavalry was shot down by more than twenty people in an instant.
The captain of the team gritted his teeth, and instead of having any intention of retreating, he led his men and continued to accelerate, rushing towards the arrogant archer.
Fifty steps, forty steps, thirty steps...
In the blink of an eye, the distance had shortened to twenty steps. At such a close distance, the captain of the team finally saw clearly the more than a hundred foot archers. The thing on their backs was not a quiver or a spear, but a spear. It’s a big shield!
Wow!
Following a burst of intensive noise, more than a hundred infantry archers all put down their bows and arrows and lay down on the ground.
The big shield behind is like a turtle shell!
Ten steps left!
But the cavalry has already charged and cannot slow down at all. Once the leading cavalry slows down rashly, it will inevitably be hit by the cavalry behind.
With no choice, the captain of the team could only bite the bullet and stab the infantry archer lying on the ground with his horse spear.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, Ma Cha poked into the large shield made by Tianjiying craftsmen. Apart from leaving a shallow mark, it was unable to pose any substantial threat to the infantry archers below.
At the same time, the cavalry stepped on the big shield and rushed directly over the infantry archers.
Because they were charging, the horses were very fast. Although they were all stepping on the big shield, there were two wooden sticks under the big shield, which passed through the armpits on both sides of the archers and were inserted into the ground, which greatly relieved the weight of the war horse. , coupled with the war horse passing by, almost no damage was caused.
There were only a few unlucky ones who failed to hide well and their calves were exposed outside the shield. They were stepped on by the horses' hooves and fractured on the spot.
After the cavalry passed by the infantry archers, the captain quickly raised his hands and ordered: "Slow down! Slow down!"
"Spin! Spin!"
Unfortunately, when they stepped over the decoy archers, they were only thirty steps away from the forward camp.
At this distance, facing two rows of archers, the result can be imagined...
Swish, brush, brush...
Two rows of infantry archers fired volleys at the same time. At such a close distance, and the cavalry's target was large enough, more than thirty cavalry were shot down on the spot, and countless others were injured.
The arrows that passed by the cavalry also covered the decoy archers. However, because the decoy archers were lying on the ground with a large shield on their backs, they were protected from being accidentally injured by the arrows.
When the remaining more than a hundred cavalrymen turned their horses and prepared to retreat, they found in despair that the decoy archers had already climbed up from the ground.
Large shields stood on the ground, and the archers squatted behind them, pressing their bodies against the large shields to form the most stable right-angled triangle.
Even the war horses trained by Beidi cannot jump directly over the large shield.
If you want to retreat, you must move to the two wings to avoid the obstruction of the large shield.
There is another option, to attack the forward camp directly. Even if there are only more than a hundred cavalry left, they can still cause huge damage to the forward camp.
But when the captain looked at the forward camp, he was completely desperate.
The first row of infantry archers had put down their bows and arrows, squatted on the ground, and raised their spears. The two-foot-long spears, like hedgehogs, protected the infantry archers from behind.
The second row of infantry archers had already started firing intensively.
"Two-wing movement, breakout! Breakout!"
As soon as the captain finished shouting, he felt as if someone had punched him hard in the chest and he fell off the horse.
The light armor on his body was in vain when faced with the terrifying penetrating power of the heavy stone bow.
The captain held his chest that was shot by an arrow. Before he could get up, seven or eight more arrows flew over and he was shot into a hedgehog on the spot.
The remaining cavalry began to move crazily towards the two wings. Unfortunately, the change from vertical to horizontal actually increased their target area.
Less than a hundred cavalrymen, standing thirty steps apart, were horizontally shot by more than four hundred infantry archers. It can only be described as 'horrible'.
In just a few moments of breathing space, a group of cavalry was almost wiped out. Only one cavalry possessed by auspicious stars, with incredible luck, managed to break through amid the random arrows and escape to Eagle Ridge single-handedly.
Qin Feng, who was standing in the tent with his hands behind his back, looked at the annihilated group of cavalry with no ripples in his eyes.
After all, a battle of this scale is simply child's play for Qin Feng.
Standing next to him, Ning Hu, neatly dressed and armed, protected Qin Feng like a protector.
Looking at the Du Miao cavalry who successfully escaped, he couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Qin, how did you know that the general in Xiongying Ridge would not be able to bear the loneliness and take the initiative to attack?"
Qin Feng shrugged and said disapprovingly: "I don't know how to predict the future. How do I know if they can get out?"
Ning Hu looked confused: "Huh? If you don't know in advance, why can you set up this almost perfect trap?"
Qin Feng still looked relaxed, and Yun Danfeng said lightly: "I just thought about all the possibilities."
As soon as these words came out, Ning Hu was stunned again. After a long time, Ning Hu gradually came to his senses.
Qin Feng piled corpses outside the Eagle Ridge Fortress. If the enemy was carried away by anger and took the initiative to attack, they would naturally fall into Qin Feng's trap. If the opponent can calm down and continue to huddle in the city, Qin Feng can be unscrupulous and pile up all the corpses in one go.
No one can say how much psychological shock the three mountains of corpses will cause to the defenders of Eagle Ridge.
But one thing is certain, Qin Feng, who is best at creating opportunities, firmly holds the initiative in his hands.
If the enemy forces charge, they will face casualties; if they don't, they will face a collapse in morale.
However... I watched a thousand infantry archers, without the cooperation of other arms, actually repulse several charges from two teams of nearly 500 cavalry, and wipe out one team, killing and injuring more than 400 people in total. .
Even Ning Hu couldn't help but secretly gasp in surprise at such a terrifying use of tactics.
But when he turned around, he found that Qin Feng's eyes were unwavering, and he didn't seem to take this battle to heart at all.
Qin Feng slowly turned around and walked towards the bed. Yun Danfeng said lightly: "Beidi only knows that our Beixi black cavalry are elite, our Tianji camp guards are brave, and our Jinyi guards are all-pervasive, but they don't know that all our Beixi soldiers must accept The toughest training.”
"Infantry archers are capable of long-range attack, close combat, and formation. When they pick up the bow and arrow, they are a long-range unit. When they put down the bow and arrow, they are better than most infantry in close combat."
"After so many wars, the Beidi people don't know how to learn lessons. It really disappoints me."
