Chapter 107 - 104: Empty Fort Strategy
Just as Zhao Yuan had said, the Hu Clan’s army was in complete disarray.
Like the battle at Fushan City, where Chongshan Town’s army had previously fallen, defeat was like a collapsing mountain once it started, it became all-encompassing.
Even the notoriously fierce Northern barbarian cavalry could do nothing but get the hell out of dodge amidst the utter chaos of defeat.
However, compared to the previous defeat of Chongshan Town’s forces, the collapse of the Hu Clan’s army was relatively organized.
Yang Zhenshan only had a hundred cavalrymen, so naturally, it was impossible for them to charge into the heart of the battlefield and engage the enemy head-on. They roamed the periphery of the collapsing Hu forces, chasing down those who fell behind.
Although such actions did not earn them significant credit, every little bit counts. Even just a few heads were worth their full day’s effort.
Besides, what they got were not just a few heads but several hundred.
By the time it was fully light, each rider of Yang Zhenshan’s hundred cavalrymen had at least three heads hanging on their horses.
Yang Zhenshan looked at his spirited soldiers, and a deeper smile crept around his eyes.
He loved battles like this, akin to hunters encircling their prey. Not only were they relaxed and safe, but after more than two hours of pursuit, not a single man was lost to death in combat.
