The morale of the Pannonian cavalry had not only dropped, but they were also stranded in place, with many being knocked off their warhorses by the charging enemy. Only a hundred or so cavalry managed to escape on horseback.
Hagux did not lead his soldiers in pursuit, nor did he concern himself with enemy soldiers who had lost their horses and wandered aimlessly on the ground. Instead, he ordered his men to gather up the enemy's surviving warhorses and led them in an outflanking maneuver toward the rear of the enemy formation's right wing.
Upon arrival, they did not immediately launch an attack but halted at a distance. Once again, they brought out their mounted crossbows, pulled the strings taut, drew crossbow arrows from the special quiver hanging on their saddles, and quickly advanced on horseback to within twenty meters of the Pannonian formation's rear right flank before firing their arrows.
The unprepared Pannonian warriors were struck down one after another.
