Chapter 1400: The Xilan People Who Know "Witchcraft"

"Witchcraft! The Hiran people used witchcraft!"

I don't know which soldier roared like this.

The words he yelled unconsciously caused a quite strong chain reaction.

Several frightened soldiers who were closer to him also shouted in agreement:

"It's witchcraft! It's witchcraft!"

"Run! The Hiran people used witchcraft to deal with us!"

"The Hiranites used witchcraft to deal with them" - this news spread quickly among the army at an alarming speed.

The Xiongran people believe in witchcraft.

The Hiramites wounded them from a distance without using bows or arrows - the only reasonable explanation they could come up with was that the Hiramites used witchcraft.

The troops inevitably began to retreat.

The grassland people who believed very much in the "witchcraft" thing really couldn't muster the courage to fight against the Xilan people who knew how to use witchcraft.

But El had no intention of telling the group of Hiran soldiers who had begun to retreat.

After the musketeers completed their third reloading preparation, El immediately gave the order to fire.

The third wave of bullets hit the buttocks of the defeated soldiers.

El wants to stick to the rear of the defeated soldiers and beat them.

Chase them and fight.

hasten their defeat.

And let these broken troops attack the prairie army's main formation behind them and disrupt the order of the prairie army's main formation.

...

...

Although the only people facing the musketeers' bullets were the 20,000 cavalrymen sent out by Yegutai just now.

But the grassland army generals on this side were also frightened.

Because the noise was so terrible.

Even Yegutai was frightened.

Although Yegutai has experienced hundreds of battles, he has never seen a musket.

After all, the Huns migrated here a long time ago and no longer communicated with the distant east, so Yegutai didn't know that there were such weapons in this world.

The generals around were panicked.

Yegutai was also panicked.

Before the generals led by Yegutai had come to their senses, the 20,000 soldiers whose morale and fighting spirit had collapsed were already heading towards their main formation.

--Oops!

After cursing secretly in his heart, Yegutai quickly ordered:

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Tell the soldiers - either turn back and fight with the Hiran people until the last moment! Or die cowardly under the arrows of your own people!"

A large-scale rout is what commanders fear most on the battlefield.

The broken soldiers, whose morale had collapsed, had no other thoughts except running away.

And it would be fine if these defeated soldiers ran elsewhere.

If you run towards your own military formation, you will be in trouble.

This group of demoralized troops will disrupt their own military formations and affect their own morale, forcing soldiers who were not originally routed troops to become routed troops because their morale is affected.

After all, morale is infected very quickly.

Therefore, Yegutai could not let the nearly 20,000 defeated troops approach them no matter what.

...

...

These 20,000 defeated troops were also very miserable.

The musketeers fired a volley from behind.

He was hit by a volley of bows and arrows from his own people in front.

Some people gritted their teeth and planned to fight bravely and fight to the death with the enemy.

This way you can die more gloriously, which is better than being shot to death by random arrows from your own people.

But these prairie cavalry who had just plucked up the courage to turn around and fight to the death with the Xilan people, as soon as they saw the "witchcraft" in the hands of the musketeers, the courage that they had finally gathered dissipated. .

Silently turning the horse's head, he rushed towards his own army...

They really can't muster the courage to fight against the troops who can use witchcraft...

Among some tribes there are many rather exaggerated rumors about witchcraft.

For example - once a life is taken away by witchcraft,

Future generations will be slaves for generations...

It is precisely because of this that so many soldiers would rather be shot by their own people's bows and arrows than be killed by the "witchcraft" of the Hiran people...

…

…

Yegutai was also panicking now.

The soldiers were defeated and rushed towards their own army formation - Yegutai had seen this kind of thing many times.

In the past, whenever a defeated army rushed towards one's own army formation, one only had to hold up the bow and arrow, release a hail of arrows at the defeated soldiers, and tell them that anyone who dared to retreat would be killed without mercy. This group of defeated troops will basically stop their retreat and turn to fight the enemy again.

Yegutai has tried this trick repeatedly.

He did not expect that this trick that had been tried and tested by Ye Gutai would fail today.

The defeated soldiers in the front threw away their helmets and armor and were completely routed.

No matter how many rounds of arrows were released, the defeated soldiers still rushed towards their own army one after another.

Yegutai was completely confused.

Are the enemy troops so scary?

Would you rather die under the arrows of your own men than die at the hands of the enemy?

Yegutai had been staying in the safety of his rear line, so he was not aware that the Hiran people were performing "witchcraft" on his troops.

If Yegudai knew that the Hiran people were using "witchcraft" to deal with them, he would have understood why the defeated soldiers would rather be shot to death by their own arrows than turn to fight the Hiran people.

It was impossible to stop the momentum of the fleeing soldiers' collapse. Finally, the fleeing soldiers attacked their own army formation.

It was like a flood and mud mountain.

The originally solid mud mountain melted little by little under the attack of the flood...

The army formation of the grassland army was like this.

Under the attack of the "flood" composed of the fleeing soldiers, the solid "mud mountain" of the rear army formation began to melt little by little...

And the musketeers who had been firing at the grassland army also accelerated the speed of the flood attack and the melting speed of the mud mountain.

Yegutai shouted and tried to save the army formation that was gradually falling into collapse.

If Yegutai was given more time, with his ability, there was a great possibility that the army formation could be restored to its original order.

But - El would not give Yegutai any time.

El waved to Gabriel beside him and said something to Gabriel.

...

...

Chinoer, the deputy commander of the Far Eastern Front, stared at the grassland army formation that was gradually becoming chaotic.

The battle situation changed so fast that he was dumbfounded.

A new-style army of only 2,000 people had thrown 300,000 grassland troops into chaos - something that Chinoer had never thought of before, but now it really happened.

Just when Chinoer was still in a trance because of the battle situation in front of him, he suddenly saw a strong man wearing armor and holding an axe and spear riding a horse towards him.

Chinoer recognized this strong man.

This strong man was Gabriel, El's chief guard and El's almost inseparable.

What is the relationship between El and Gabriel - Chinoer actually didn't know.

He only knew that El and Gabriel had a deep relationship and were as close as brothers.

After Gabriel rode his horse to Chinoer with a gun in hand, he said to Chinoer directly:

"Deputy commander, El asked me to tell you a message - prepare for the assault!"
