On this occasion of pursuing the enemy, everyone excellently accomplished the task assigned by Hudson.
The enemy, who should have scattered in defeat, were now running northward. It wasn't their choice to run in that direction; they were forced north.
Crowds of defeated soldiers are valuable for rescue. If the enemy scatters, you wouldn't even know where to begin a rescue operation.
To lure the enemy, Hudson generously allowed them to perform reconnaissance from the air.
The bait had been set. If they wanted to rescue, they had to deploy troops quickly. If they didn't come, then they should just wait for their entire team to be annihilated.
Continuing under the current circumstances, within three more days, the fleeing enemy would collide with thirty thousand cavalry.
The muddy road was indeed unsuitable for cavalry action, but without these unfavorable conditions, the enemy wouldn't have taken the bait!
