Soon, more and more Khitans gathered around Xiao Shilu and others, but most of them were ordinary tribe members and the elderly, weak, women and children. Many of them were truly combat-capable young and strong in the battle just now, either killed each other or died under the iron hooves of heavy cavalry. Seeing the tribes of 70,000 to 80,000, only thousands of people were pulled out, which made Wanyan Wanting and Xiao Shilu and others' eyes red.

On the land stained with blood, it is their home, and the blood is the blood of their tribesmen.

At the same time, Zhang Yuan had seized the flag of the Northern Khitan tribe and met with Ba Dinghan and the others. After knowing Xiao Shilu and the others' plan, he took advantage of the darkness to launch a strong attack and completely defeat the Northern Khitan tribe so that it would not be a little threat.

But at this time, he faced a problem, that is, after a few days of rushing, the heavy cavalry was exhausted, and after this attack, he was even more exhausted. If he wanted to carry out a decisive frontal impact, he would be afraid that a large number of war horses would be exhausted before the battle could be fought.

Zhang Yuan thought about it for a while and ordered: "Collection as much as possible to replace the war horses, and other strengths need to be swept away urgently!"

The killing did not stop, and the number of people in the Northern Khitan tribe became smaller and smaller. Soon they collected hundreds of war horses, replaced the war horses, and hurriedly rested and had a meal.

The spring rain has begun to stop, and the strong smell of blood mixed with the freshness of green grass spreads throughout the Northern Khitan tribe.

At this time, the chaos began to slowly stop, and everyone squeezed out the last bit of physical strength and was unable to fight. The gray sky also allowed people to see the other party clearly, regret and numbness intertwined in the hearts of the living Khitans.

I have to say a common sense here. In ancient grassland tribes, the main food was meat, and vegetables and fruits were rarely eaten. Most of them were night blind. There were relatively fewer Han people, but there were also many. Because the food in ancient times was too single, many of them could not be supplemented.

This is also one of the reasons why the army often experiences roaring camps in the era of cold weapons.

"Everyone is ready! Riding horses!!"

The sky began to turn gray. Zhang Yuan knew that the decisive battle had begun. Both sides were very tired, but both sides wanted to get rid of each other and get out of the way.

"Driving the cattle!!"

Zhang Yuan said that without the help of the night, only more than 200 cavalry were enough to be exhausted by the Northern Khitan tribe. After knowing the other party’s plan, Zhang Yuan was looking for a ‘help’ and inheriting the years of fighting experience in his previous life, Zhang Yuan thought of a solution.

It still comes from the tactical method of the Yuan Dynasty. When the Yuan Dynasty fights the enemy, it will use one or more points to break through. After tearing the opponent's formation, it will continuously expand its advantage and tear the opponent's formation. Then it will surround the enemy. If the enemy resists fiercely, it will let go of a road and follow the road to eliminate the opponent.

When the breakthrough is blocked, they will continue to try and drive away the cattle they carry and collide with each other's formation to achieve the goal of tearing open the other's formation.

The place where the herds were placed at night was the opposite of Wanyan Wanting and the others' escape. Perhaps they were worried that causing riots among the herds at night would cause them casualties, so they deliberately avoided choosing.

It was their choice that gave Zhang Yuan a bargain, otherwise Zhang Yuan would withdraw with his heavy cavalry before dawn.

After all, in addition to some special battlefields, such as night attacks and attacks, the number of people often plays a decisive role.

The heavy cavalry is naturally the most powerful in the duel of the front, but the problem is that Zhang Yuan’s heavy cavalry is not large, and he can exhaust the heavy cavalry to death.

Driven by heavy cavalry, a huge herd of cattle consisting of tens of thousands of cattle in front and tens of thousands of war horses behind, trampling on the tents, corpses and blood of the Northern Khitan tribes, rushing all the way toward the gathering place of the Khitans more than ten miles away.

At this time, almost all the Khitans who survived were rescued, and more than 10,000 survived. After deducting some escaped, almost more than 60,000 died. Among these 60,000 people, the heavy cavalry only killed more than 5,000 people. The others were those who could not see the enemy and us clearly in the darkness, and lost their minds. They killed each other when they saw people and killed each other.

Most of the surviving people have been recuperating for a short time. When the light has just appeared a little bit of light, they have begun to prepare for revenge on the attacking enemies.

"Kill, don't let Wanyan Wanting go!!"

Xiao Lu shouted loudly, and with his subordinates who were also the Kruchi tribe, he held a torch to drive away the cattle herd, and drove the large group of cattle toward the Khitans.

The rumbling sound shook the earth, and the Khitans changed drastically when they heard the sound.

"This is the Fire Bull Formation!! Damn, how could I forget this...!!!" Wanyan Wanting said in horror.

Driven away cattle to attack the enemy is not only a patent for the Mongols. It has appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and has continued to this day. It is also one of the war methods often used by grassland tribes.

Xiao Shilu also regretted it too much. At that time, they only focused on living and subconsciously chose the opposite direction to the pasture and animal husbandry. One was afraid that killing would cause riots in the pasture and animal husbandry and died of trampling.

Erzhe didn't think about using herds and animals to kill Zhang Yuan. After all, they knew that those who were mixed with Zhang Yuan and the others were their own tribe members. If they were here, they might not hesitate to order their own tribe members to destroy the enemy completely, but they could not be so cold-blooded.

How powerful the Niu Qun charge is, it is no clearer than the grassland tribes that have been dealing with Niu Qun for many years. There is almost no hesitation. Many Khitans turned around and fled on horseback before Xiao Shilu could give the order. Xiao Shilu did not hesitate either. He glanced at the Niu Qun with a trace of shadow appeared and shouted loudly: "Everyone fled!!"

On his horse, Xiao Shilu fled with his tribe in a mess. He had never felt ashamed as he is now. Even if he was attacked by Zhang Yuan before, he would only have hatred and not much shame.

But even though he had the advantage of the number of people, he had to flee without fighting, which made him look disgrace and didn't know how to face the questioning of the leader Pengpi in the future.

Zhang Yuan has prepared so much, can they easily escape?

Of course it is impossible. At this time, the heavy cavalry had taken off their heavy armor, and the light cavalry had transferred to war horses, hiding on both sides of the cattle herd, following the cattle herd, chasing the Khitan tribe, and guiding the cattle herd forward.

"Free shooting!"

Before the war started, Zhang Yuan issued such an order, and there were still many arrows and they did not use a few of them in two sneak attacks. Most of the remaining arrowheads have finally played their role now.

The most light arrows exerted the most powerful, hiding on both sides of the cattle, they kept shooting and escaping in front and leaving the Khitans behind them.
