On this day, the Dzungar army came to hurl insults again, "Are you all turtles and tortoises? You always cower in your shells. Don't hide in your camp! If you have the guts, come out and fight! You're hiding in your lair all day. Are you scared?" The Huns cursed and swore outside the camp, saying things that were extremely offensive.

"Your Majesty, I will lead the troops to capture them right now." Shen Hebi could no longer tolerate these Xiongnu slandering the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince nodded, and Shen Hebi shouted loudly to the prepared soldiers, "Soldiers, today we will annihilate these slanderous Xiongnu!" The soldiers shouted, "Good! Good! Good!"

Shen Hebi led 20,000 troops out of the camp, shouting, "Kill!" The soldiers charged towards the Xiongnu like wild beasts unleashed. The pent-up anger of so long could finally be released!

As usual, after fighting for a while, the Xiongnu leader ordered them to retreat, and the Xiongnu began to scatter. Shen Hebi led his army in pursuit, shouting, "Soldiers! Charge!" Twenty thousand men surged forward in a mighty torrent.

The Xiongnu fled towards their pre-arranged ambush point, pursued by the Qing army. Shen Hebi found it strange that the Xiongnu were not fleeing in a panic, but rather as if it were premeditated. Once they reached the encirclement, the Xiongnu suddenly stopped, and their leader rode to the front of the column, saying, "It seems that the renowned General Shen is nothing special after all!" With that, he whistled.

Shen Hebi was at a loss, not knowing what the Xiongnu were up to. It wasn't until he saw people rushing out from both sides that he realized he had truly fallen into a trap.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Shen Hebi reined in his horse, preparing to withdraw his troops, when suddenly his horse's leg was cut off with a knife, and Shen Hebi fell off the horse.

Surrounded on all sides, Shen Hebi thought that since escape was impossible, he might as well die a glorious death on the battlefield! He raised his spear and shouted, "Brothers, charge!"

"Your Majesty, news from the front lines indicates that General Shen has fallen into an enemy ambush and is now surrounded!" Bad news kept coming in from the front lines, and the Fourth Prince's heart grew increasingly anxious.

Both the Seventeenth Prince and Hongli wore anxious expressions. If they didn't go to the rescue soon, their 20,000-strong army would likely be annihilated. "Father, please send your son to the rescue! General Shen is our commander-in-chief; he absolutely cannot be harmed!"

The Fourth Prince was anxious. How could this be? The Xiongnu had indeed set a trap! "No, we don't know the situation yet. If you lead the troops there, we'll only fall into another trap." Hongli was his son, and besides, the throne would eventually be passed to him. He would never let him take such a risk!

Hongli knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Father, please let me go! If we don't go to save them now, it may be too late!" Hongli felt that since he came to the military camp, he had been protected by the Seventeenth Prince and General Shen, and now it was time for him to do his part!

The Fourth Prince was also extremely anxious. The battle at the front was tense, but he was really afraid that something would happen to Hongli! At this moment, the Seventeenth Prince knelt on the ground and begged the Fourth Prince to let him go, but the Fourth Prince still refused outright!

"Brother, please let me go! If we don't go to rescue them soon, they'll imprison and beat our 20,000 elite troops!" After careful consideration, the Fourth Prince felt that the loss of these 20,000 soldiers was indeed unacceptable, and thus agreed to the Seventeenth Prince's request. After preparing for the mission, the Seventeenth Prince led 10,000 elite troops to the rescue.
