The Northern Barbarian Cavalry had gained the upper hand!
After a long march, the strength of the Sheng Army was already not at its peak, to say nothing of fighting from a disadvantageous position. Although their numbers were greater and all fought bravely, gradually, as the number of Northern Barbarian Cavalry swelled, they began to fall behind.
There had already been cavalry leaders who had made heroic sacrifices or been forced to retreat after taking several arrows.
Zhao Haiping's gaze swept across the flanks and quickly returned.
Casualties were high...
In the age of cold weapons, armies could tolerate very low casualties, with even 5% potentially leading to a collapse of order, sending the entire battle towards defeat. To be able to withstand 10% or even 15% casualties was to be considered an elite force in that era.
And now, the casualty rate on the flanks of the Sheng Army was teetering on the brink of collapse.
