章 429: A Motley Crowd Versus A Regular Force (Part 2)

The magic chariots charged out of the withered grass, pulled by two skeletal warhorses. They followed behind the barbarians, in pursuit of the enemy's infantrymen.

In Qin, the infantrymen were not inferior to the cavalrymen. Their retreat process was very methodical. In the vicinity of a city, heavy infantrymen were the nemesis of cavalrymen. The pirates' suppressive fire had lost its effect, a mere one-hundred arrows would not be able to injure many infantrymen. As the injured infantrymen were under protection by the shields, their injured body parts would not even influence the battle.

Saleen did not apply poison on the arrow heads. Poison had a shelf life, and it was more expensive. Other than the ones who were shot in the leg, the infantrymen still possessed more than half their offensive power. If Daniel did not use the barbarians for the pursuit, the enemy would have definitely escaped.
