Chapter 1609, the barbarian cavalry who lost their minds(2/2)

And those pikemen and archers deployed behind the earth wall will make the dismounted cavalry feel the fear of death.

At other times, Tongdas Khan would never let his cavalry attack such a strong camp.

However, the deputy khan was eager to vent his anger, so he gave up the mobility advantage of the barbarian cavalry and instead let the cavalry attack the camp.

Such stupid behavior caused the barbarian cavalry to suffer huge losses.

In the first wave of charge alone, the barbarian cavalry dropped more than two thousand corpses at the earth wall.

Although thousands of cavalrymen were not shot to death by bows and arrows after dismounting, they were lucky enough to rush into the camp.

However, thousands of cavalry without horses could not exert any combat effectiveness in the face of the massacre by the spearmen.

As for the subsequent cavalry, they desperately wanted reinforcements and tried to open more gaps in the camp, but the archers in the camp would not give them more opportunities. The constant rain of arrows easily blocked the cavalry's advance.

line.

Even if the barbarian cavalry charged in, their speed would be far slower than the speed of being stabbed to death by spearmen.

Under such circumstances, the camp became a continuous bleeding wound for the barbarian cavalry.

After investing more than 6,000 cavalry one after another but failing to completely tear apart the defense of the enemy camp, Tongdas Khan finally calmed down and ordered the troops to retreat.

When he started to count the battle losses, he realized that this battle had caused too many casualties to the barbarians.

There were as many as 3,900 cavalrymen who were directly killed in battle. Of course, there were also many cavalrymen who were seriously injured in the wall area and could not escape.

For this part, Tongdas Khan directly included them in the death list.

In fact, what he did was right, because after those seriously injured cavalry were captured, they were all executed after being interrogated by a detective colonel from the Daze Kingdom.

With the army out there, it was impossible to leave these seriously injured prisoners to waste food and grass.

Coupled with the hatred brought by the Siwan barbarian invasion, these prisoners will not end well.

In fact, even if the Sivan barbarians captured Daze soldiers during a battle, most of them would kill them on the spot.

The reason is very simple. It is impossible for them to bring a group of prisoners of war with them when marching. This will greatly slow down their marching speed.

And the prisoners of war are likely to riot and cause losses.

After Ming Jin withdrew his troops, Tongdas Khan was caught in a dilemma.

He was reluctant to withdraw his troops and leave.

As mentioned before, after the death of the high priest, if he goes back without getting enough credit, he will definitely be strongly suppressed by Jinlu Khan.

If nothing else, more than half of the more than ten tribes under his command would probably be divided.

And if the troops are not withdrawn, the Dahe Province reinforcement camp will be like a hedgehog lying there.

Not to mention that he only has less than 23,000 cavalry left under his command. Even if he has a full strength of 30,000 cavalry, if he wants to completely attack this camp, he will have to lose at least half of the cavalry.

The population of the Siwan barbarians is limited.

Let alone losing more than ten thousand cavalry, even if he loses one or two thousand more cavalry, Tongdas Khan's heart will bleed.

It is not impossible to ignore this camp and turn around and head into Dahe Province.
