General Yun Can led his men toward the marching Qi soldiers. When the Qi soldiers in front saw a group of people coming at them, they were shot down by crossbow bolts before they could react. The Qi soldiers in front were so frightened that they turned around and fled in panic. They squeezed together with the infantry behind them. The Qi army shouted, "There's a cavalry ambush. There's a cavalry ambush."
In just a dozen breaths, a large group of cavalry rushed out of the cavalry formation behind. Those cavalrymen carried crossbows and passed the fleeing infantrymen to rush toward the troops led by General Yun Can. General Yun Can turned his horse around and shouted, "Retreat, retreat!"
