Chapter 410: Post-War Statistics
The reason for the rout of the steppe people came from the front, to be exact, because of the broken shot!
Seeing that the steppe people were besieged, under the shouts of the leader, these outlaws had already made up their minds to rush out, and the desperate struggle brought many casualties to the Sadran army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, Martin was already supervising the battle in the rear, and the only place in front of him was to lead the hundreds of slave cavalry around. When everyone was overwhelmed by the charge of the steppe people, only the hundreds of slave warriors under his command stood still. After all, compared to these steppe cavalry, the slave warriors were more ferocious outlaws.
Before they were bought by Joseph, these slave cavalry were all slaves who roamed the gladiatorial arena all year round, and lived a life of killing people to survive. Unlike these new recruits who are on the battlefield for the first time, they have long seen the cruelty and ruthlessness of killing, and these slave warriors, who are like humanoid murder weapons, are as dull as eating and drinking in battle.
So when these steppe people charged again and again, it was these equally brave slave cavalry who held off their deadly charge. As the commander of this strong army, his own strength has reached the level of a middle-level knight, so he naturally won't worry about these ordinary steppe cavalry.
Because at this moment, the eyes of this silent guy have fallen coldly on the leader of the steppe. I clearly saw the essence of the problem, the reason why the grassland people were able to burst out with such strong combat effectiveness, in addition to their own fierce character, was more important because they were led by the same fierce leader. Under the leadership of this guy, these cavalrymen will charge frantically over and over again, because their leader is still there!
Therefore, if you want these steppe people to give up resistance, the best way is naturally to let their leaders give up resistance completely!
The captain of the guard of the Sadland private army thought this clearly, and without hesitation, he gathered all the slave cavalry, and then formed a sharp blade, which was directly inserted into the middle of the steppe cavalry. These slave warriors are all good at martial arts, and they are very strong and good at fighting, and the life in the fighting arena has taught them how to use the fastest means to deal with their opponents, so these guys are not only brave in battle, but also fast and ruthless, and even the fierce steppe cavalry dare not fight them.
The leader of the steppes soon found that his party had been cut off, and although he did not know the attempt, he was clearly not going to let such a thing continue. So this guy immediately roared angrily, and even put down the attacking infantry regiment directly, turned his head and charged at Duan and his slave cavalry.
Broken was obviously waiting for these opportunities, he was not cowardly, but roared excitedly, and also desperately led the cavalry under his command to rush towards the steppe people! The two forces immediately collided fiercely together, and the target of the break was obvious, it was the leader of the steppe people!
He tried his best to suppress the fighting energy on his body, and then poured it all into the short sword in his hand. The high-quality short sword, made of steel, immediately glowed with a faint silver light. Unfortunately, the steppe leader didn't notice this, so he roared angrily, waved his scimitar frantically, and once again rushed towards the slave cavalry as if he were not dying.
Both of them are the generals of the other party's cavalry, and since they both noticed each other at this moment, they naturally collided with each other fiercely! However, it is a high-level martial artist with the strength of a seventh-level knight, and although the leader of the grassland is also very strong, the strength of his martial arts is obviously not a broken opponent.
The surging fighting spirit burst out along the broken blade of the sword, easily cutting off the scimitar in the hand of the steppe leader, and then cutting a deep hole in the leather armor on his chest! Blood suddenly burst out, and the leader of the steppe people was ruthlessly destroyed by this fighting spirit The flesh and blood of his right hand were ruthlessly destroyed. The leader's face was pale, and his mouth seemed to be trying to say something, but the fatal wound on his chest was dripping with blood, and he couldn't help but feel a sweet blow in his chest, and he fell to the ground and died after struggling for less than a moment!
When the Sadland army saw this scene, their morale immediately soared, and they were about to kill these steppe wolves fiercely, but they heard a cold shout: "Those who lay down their weapons will be spared death!"
Broken a company shouted several times, and the rest of the cavalry also shouted, and for a while the morale was like a rainbow, and many soldiers shouted at the same time, not forgetting to raise the sword in their hands to shock the steppe people. As soon as they heard these soldiers of the Bright Empire shouting like this, there were immediately grassland people who understood the Chinese language of the Bright Emperor shouting to their companions, which was a huge blow to the morale of the grassland people.
These steppe people had just witnessed the killing of their leader, and saw that their leaders had been slaughtered under their horses, where did they still have the courage to resist again? At this time, hearing the shouts of the Sadland army, they thought to themselves that even if they surrendered, they would not lose their lives. So under such strong pressure, these steppe people, who were still fierce just now, also had to give in, and suddenly lost their fighting spirit, either turning their horses' heads and trying to escape and break through, or jumping off their horses directly, and then holding their scimitars on their heads and kneeling on the ground to surrender.
Of course, there are also many steppe people who are unwilling to accept such a humiliating surrender, or commit suicide in anger, or desperately break through, and finally hundreds of people escaped.
However, most of the steppe people saw that there was no hope of breaking through, and the leader was also killed, and these people of the Bright Empire also promised not to kill the prisoners, so they naturally had no choice but to surrender. After all, although these steppe people are fierce and brave, they are not afraid of death, since the leader is dead, their own fight is meaningless, it is better to surrender and save their lives.
Alok and Sophia, who were in the distance, were even more ecstatic when they saw this scene, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to stop attacking, even the few steppe people who fled didn't care, and directly collected the weapons of the steppe people who surrendered, and then sent troops to guard them.
After the aftermath was completed, Yarok and Sophia joined Temur, and since several people were working for José, the big boss, although they were not familiar with it, they were polite in negotiations.
Temur was naturally quite kind to Jose's descendant generals like Yarok, and he also knew the chief of the guard, and Temur unabashedly praised Duan's martial arts and strength.
After some politeness, Martin quickly counted the aftermath of the battle, which included 1,000 cavalry from Temur and 1,000 cavalry from Sadrand, as well as 3,000 infantry from a banner regiment. There were about 3,000 steppe people on the other side, about four or five hundred were killed in the battle, about three or four hundred escaped, and the remaining 2,000 or so surrendered.
