This battle lasted for more than an hour, and it was not until the sun was already in the west that all the Xianbei cavalry had fled, and the battle gradually stopped. However, due to the problem of direction, most of the Xianbei cavalry fled into the royal court, and the first division did not stop for a moment, following into the royal court.

This battle was a rare battle against the enemy with cold weapons since the formation of the Hong Army. Fighting with cavalry in the grassland is different from the previous siege and land raiding infantry battles, most of the previous enemies fought according to the city, they would not run away, and even if they ran, they could not outrun the Hong army.

Therefore, the Hong army can calmly put on a posture to fight, and any heavy weapons and new weapons can be slowly erected and used. But now it is not possible to fight the cavalry on the steppe, the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and the Hong army cannot outrun the horses no matter how much it is trained.

And there is no time for you to slowly set up heavy weapons, so, in this grassland operation, the first division has never used weapons of mass destruction such as gun~ artillery, rocket artillery, and Angry Birds, because it is too troublesome to use them, and when your preparations are done, people will no longer know where to run.

Not only are these heavy firearms useless in this battle, but even the fire ~ guns are useless. If it weren't for the chaos caused by the rout of their own formation, no matter what weapon they used to attack the cavalry, the cavalry would run away at any time, and once they ran away, they would not be able to catch up at all.

The only way, or the right time, is to catch up with the enemy in such a short time as it is chaotic, and to beat the enemy even more chaotically. To achieve this, the best way is to rush directly up, fight the enemy hand-to-hand, let your men and horses penetrate ~ into the enemy formation, make the enemy formation more chaotic, and at the same time entangle the enemy, making it more difficult for them to escape.

This is why the 1st Division uncharacteristically has to engage in hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons this time. This tactic proved to be the right one, and it was a good result. In this battle, the Xianbei people left behind more than 30,000 corpses and almost the same number of horses, and almost all of them were alive.

However, the first division only suffered about 500 casualties, of which only more than 100 were killed, and the exchange ratio between the two sides was extremely large. In the past, it was normal to use hot weapons to fight against the enemy, and it was normal for there to be such a disparity in exchange ratios, but this time it was a hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons, and it was really commendable to have such a result.

The royal court was already a mess, and all kinds of miscellaneous items were discarded everywhere, but they were all worthless objects. There were a lot of tents that had not yet had time to be removed, and some soldiers went in and searched and found that there was nothing good at all. The Xianbei people are so poor that they are really worthless except for the cattle, sheep and horses, which are worth a little money.

Even if some tents left some blankets, carpets and other things because the owner left in a hurry, they were still smelly and tattered, and no one who saw them did not want to touch their hands. Think about it, the legendary Persian carpet with bright ~ beautiful, exquisite patterns and exquisite craftsmanship is a legend after all, which can only be used by princes and nobles, not an ordinary herdsman.

And the people who have a bit of status in the Xianbei clan must have fled a long time ago, and in case of danger, these people must be the fastest fleeing group. Realizing this, Zhang Bao ordered that one regiment of troops should be left to continue to search the royal court, and the others were no longer allowed to enter the tents and fixed houses to search, and pursued the Xianbei people with all their might.

When the Xianbei cavalry was defeated, most of them fled into the royal court, but they did not stay at all, but fled north through the royal court. Now the first division is also chasing at full speed to the north of the royal court.

Along the way, not a single Xianbei cavalry can not be seen, it is still the same sentence, the two-legged one can't run the four-legged one, after the Xianbei cavalry was defeated, desperately fled north, how could the soldiers of the first division catch up with these two legs.

This is also the Xianbei people have been killed, if they regroup now and kill back the pistol, the first division will rush to the battle, it is estimated that even if they are undefeated, they will suffer heavy losses. It's a pity that the army is defeated, and it is not easy to regroup after the rout of the army, and Budugen is not one of those generation of heroes, and he does not have the courage to do this kind of thing of turning defeat into victory.

The soldiers of the 1st Division chased all the way north, and at first they saw no one, and gradually saw some Xianbei people who had not had time to escape. These Xianbei people are not those Xianbei cavalry, but some old, weak, sick and disabled Xianbei people, they don't want to run, but they are reluctant to give up their poor property, and the demolition action is slow, so they don't run away in time.

You must know that these nomads moved very thoroughly, not only did they have to move all their household chores, but even their living quarters, the tents, and their most important things, that is, the main property of the Xianbei people, cattle and sheep, had to go with them.

This greatly limits the speed at which they can relocate. If you want to move the whole set of belongings, you can't rely on manpower, you must use a big wheel, let's call it a Lele car. It was not easy to carry all the belongings to the Lehrer cart, it was a heavy physical work, especially for the tents, which were supported by heavy wooden posts, and the tents were made of a lot of leather materials and were not lightweight.

In the past, it was good to have young people in the family, but now all the young people have been transferred to fight, and it is very difficult for the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled to do these things. At this time, their only choice was to leave these belongings behind and run away lightly. However, many people were reluctant to let these belongings, which were actually shabby in the eyes of the Han army, which made them lose the opportunity to escape in the end.

However, Zhang Bao, who didn't even escape from the royal court, was not interested in these Xianbei people, and the regiment he left behind was enough to clean them up. Zhang Bao didn't care about these slow-moving old, weak, sick and disabled, and led the army directly through the royal court and continued to pursue north.

To say that in the vast prairie, it is easy to chase and lose direction, but at this time, there is no need to worry about this problem at all, because there are continuous Xianbei people fleeing along the way, as long as they follow this team, not to mention that the hot air balloons of the first division have been pulled by horse-drawn carriages, moving with the army, and the pilots on them can see far away.

Every time he ran a distance, Zhang Bao had to leave a company of troops behind to let them gather and drive the fleeing Xianbei people back to the Xianbei royal court. These Xianbei people and the materials they carried to flee are now the trophies of the First Division, Zhang Bao is reluctant to let them be scattered on the vast grassland like this, so he can only continue to divide his forces to capture the prisoners.

Although many of the Xianbei people began to flee as early as the First Division, their movement speed was too slow, so groups of people were constantly caught up by the First Division.

The Xianbei people are different from the Xianbei cavalry, the Xianbei cavalry ride to and fro like the wind, but the Xianbei people can't run even if they ride horses, because they have to drive ox carts and livestock. Cattle and sheep are their most important possessions, and they must not be discarded, even if they die.
