Half an hour passed while waiting, and Zheng Daqiu was once again sent by Ma Yunjiu to find him.
When we met, Ma Yunjiu said unceremoniously: "Half an hour is up, and the people you arranged have probably been killed. Now you will lead the attack, and I will lead the cavalry behind to hold the battle for you."
"This..." Zheng Daqiu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will arrange for people to attack by force."
Ma Yunjiu raised his whip to stop Zheng Daqiu who was about to leave, and said, "Didn't you understand what I said? When we attack, you have to be at the front to boost morale."
"I..." Zheng Daqiu was stunned, and then said with a red face, "Captain Ma, what do you mean? Those two hundred people were given to me by Shi Daqi. As the leader of this team, he should sit in the rear and command, not Charge at the front like those ordinary bandits."
Zheng Daqiu argued loudly.
He knew where his shortcomings lay. People like Ma Yunjiu and Liu Heng were born in the army. It was common for them to go into battle to kill the enemy. However, he got his position as the leader of the rear camp by currying favor with the previous leader of the rear camp. If he really wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy, he knew that he could not compete with Liu Heng and the others, and he did not have the ability.
Ma Yunjiu said coldly: "I am not negotiating with you. If you are not willing to rush forward, then I can replace you with someone. As for you, there is no need to keep you since you are of no use."
"You want to kill me!" Zheng Daqiu's expression changed drastically.
Ma Yunjiu snorted coldly: "It's all up to you whether you want to die or not. If you take down Liu Heng and those in the Archer Camp, the head of the rear camp will be yours. If you fail, you will know the consequences."
Zheng Daqiu opened his mouth, his face darkened, and said: "I understand, now I will lead people to attack Liu Heng's car formation."
"Go ahead, I will hold the battle here for you." Ma Yunjiu said calmly.
Zheng Daqiu's heart sank.
He knew that Ma Yunjiu's nice words were to hold the line for him, but in fact he was to monitor him and prevent him from escaping, so at this time he knew that he had no choice but to kill Liu Heng and the others.
Soon, in addition to those who were killed and injured before, he gathered more than a hundred bandits.
Zheng Daqiu stood in front of these bandits with a gloomy face. After a long time, he said: "Brothers, I, Zheng Daqiu, have been ordered by Shi Daqi to kill those rebels who colluded with Wu Xiazi and others. Today I only need to kill After leaving Liu Heng and Li Shuheng, the brothers went back to drink wine and eat meat. Even if they want to play with women, I will find a way to get them for the brothers. But if you can't kill Liu Heng and the rebels, then Don't blame me, Zheng Daqiu, for being rude. No one can even think of escaping privately. No matter how fast you escape, you can't run faster than the horse team led by the horse leader, unless you think you can run faster with two legs than four."
"We want to drink! We want to eat meat! We want to play with women!"
Several bandits who had been arranged in the crowd by Zheng Daqiu in advance shouted loudly.
"Drink! Eat meat! Play with women!" Zheng Daqiu raised a hand and shouted loudly.
"Drink! Eat meat! Play with women!"
More than a hundred and nearly two hundred bandits started shouting loudly, which echoed far away in the silent night sky.
A person riding next to Ma Yunjiu said: "Leader, this Zheng Daqiu actually knows how to boost morale before going into battle. It seems that Li Shuheng and others will be in trouble this time."
Ma Yunjiu said calmly: "Li Shuheng is not that easy to deal with."
Seeing that the people around him were puzzled, he continued: "You have also seen the arrows that were shot before. How many archers do you think took action at that time?"
The man next to him thought for a moment and said, "Listen to the noise, the archers in the car formation should have fired two rounds. There were no more than thirty archers, maybe twenty at most."
Ma Yunjiu said: "Li Shuheng has nearly a hundred archers. Even if there are thirty archers in the car formation, what about the other seventy archers? The sky is so dark, these archers can fire a volley, and there are dozens of people in our cavalry. At least half of them were killed or injured."
The man next to him suddenly realized: "I understand, leader, you forced Zheng Daqiu to lead people to attack the car formation because you wanted to force those archers to show up."
Ma Yunjiu didn't answer, looking through the piles of fires toward the car array.
…
Zheng Daqiu made such a loud noise, Liu Heng and others who were hiding behind the cart naturally heard it clearly and immediately guessed that the enemy was about to attack.
Liu Heng ordered: "Notify us and tell our people to hide. When the enemy approaches the fire, the archers will shoot arrows first. The refugee recruits will hide behind the cart. When the enemy comes to the grain cart, they will directly stab them with wooden spears. This must not be done." Let the enemy rush in over the grain trucks."
Chen Xunping and Yang Yuan each took orders.
Twenty archers all hid in the gaps between the grain carts, holding bows and arrows, fully pulling the bow strings, and pointing the arrows in the direction of the fire.
"Kill them! Kill them for drinking, eating meat and playing with women!"
Chaotic footsteps sounded, and shadows on the other side of the fire mixed and swayed with each other.
Liu Heng lay down at the gap between the two grain trucks and looked out, and saw a group of black shadows rushing towards the grain trucks.
These swaying figures gradually approached, and gradually approached the fire about thirty steps away. With the help of the firelight, the faces of those running at the front could be seen clearly.
"Archery!" Chen Xunping shouted loudly in the distance.
Whoosh! Whizzing!
For an archer, the distance of thirty steps is almost perfect, and he can hit the target as long as he shoots out.
Screams echoed through the dark night.
Most of those in the front row fell to the ground in the first round of arrows. Those who were lucky were only hit in the limbs and could still lie on the ground wailing.
Many people were shot with arrows either in their heads or in their throats and chests, almost killing them on the spot.
A distance of twenty or thirty steps is simply wanton massacre for the archers. The arrows fired are almost the most powerful, not to mention the hit rate. Archers can hit it with their eyes closed at such a short distance.
Liu Heng saw with his own eyes a bandit who was rushing towards him. He opened his mouth and wanted to shout something, but an arrow from behind a grain truck penetrated his mouth and penetrated the back of his head. He was killed on the spot without even saying a word.
Liu Heng roughly counted and found that after the rain of arrows, at least fifteen or sixteen of the enemy were dead and wounded. The bandits who were at the forefront were obviously left empty after the rain of arrows.
The enemy boasted of the corpses and wounded and rushed forward less than ten steps. Immediately, a second round of arrow rain fell, and another batch fell immediately.
After two rounds of arrow rain, some of the bandits in front began to get scared and hesitated to move forward. The bandits behind who had not been hit by the arrows shouted and rushed forward, squeezing the bandits in front and had to move forward.
"Second brother, give them another round." Seeing that some of these bandits were starting to get scared, Liu Heng decided to add more fire.
"shoot!"
As Chen Xunping shouted, the sound of arrows piercing the air rang in his ears.
A series of screams immediately sounded, and the bandits at the front fell to the ground, and the momentum of the bandits following behind was blocked.
Finally, someone couldn't bear the pressure and ran away behind them, squeezing through their companions who were blocking the front.
"Put out the fire, put out the fire, put out all the fires!"
At this moment, someone behind these bandits shouted loudly.
