I think the key is in his descriptor "shooting fish in a barrell".
I'm guessing that he faced an army predominantly composed of infantry with few archers (or even none), who were viciously bombarded by his artillery as they trudged through some kind of pass or ravine. Those who didn't rout were further encouraged to do so by his Steppe Heavies (who possess long range in XL), and the chiv sargeants barely had to work at all.
Nice one.
