Yi Xie Er knew that Jiang Ming was not easy to deal with, that he had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and that he was a genius of his generation!

But he never expected Jiang Ming to be so shameless...

They actually dared to use something like "a shooting star" to "fool people" in front of the battlefield!

But the results are remarkable!

The damage it caused to myself was also devastating...

The arrowhead of that short crossbow still had this mark; pulling it out caused a series of painful aches as it tore at the blood vessels and nerves...

Moreover, every bump and jolt causes pain, especially in a man's sensitive area, so the pain is unimaginable.

The Chanyu, Yixie, was so pained that he fainted, collapsing unconscious on his horse...

As for his suicide squad and the other Northern Xiongnu soldiers who were still risking their lives to maintain their formation, once they saw that the Great Chanyu had run away, what was the point of fighting?

They also retreated in a 'regulated' manner, which helped the Great Chanyu buy more time to escape!

With the war at this stage, what suspense is there left?

The Northern Xiongnu army collapsed instantly!

As the old saying goes, "A defeated army collapses like a mountain," which is no simple, exaggerated description...

When it comes to the real battlefield, if one side is defeated, it's like a mountain collapsing!

As the saying goes, "to catch the thief, catch the king," Jiang Ming rode his fast horse to chase after Yi Xie Er, and while chasing, he also shot arrows!

But the frustrating thing is... the Ferghana horse that Yi Xie Er rode was just too awesome!

They were moving faster than riding a motorcycle, and with a group of Northern Xiongnu elites guarding their rear...

The Xiongnu Chanyu, Yixie'er, actually managed to escape right under Jiang Ming's nose!

However, the remaining Northern Xiongnu soldiers were in a terrible predicament!

Jiang Ming's soldiers from the three clans have gone berserk!

They launched a full-scale pursuit and slaughter of the so-called 'retreating' Northern Xiongnu army!

The battle lasted from dawn until the first light of day. Jiang Ming's army pursued the enemy for over 50 li before finally giving up, allowing the remaining 40,000 to 50,000 Xiongnu soldiers to escape!

Jiang Ming's side also suffered heavy losses!

Of the 150,000 troops, a staggering 60,000 were killed in action!

Countless others were also injured!

Is this still considered a sneak attack?

It was a Pyrrhic victory!

If it were truly a battle between two armies with equal numbers, Jiang Ming's army would definitely be no match for the other side!

Dawn was breaking...

Beneath the Great Xianbei Mountains, corpses lay everywhere, stretching as far as the eye could see...

Many TV dramas depict battles involving hundreds of thousands of people, but even serious dramas often only show a few thousand people charging at each other on horseback – it's just for show!

When you actually get to the battlefield, the sight of corpses covering the mountains and fields is something that people who haven't experienced it firsthand can never imagine.

This is truly a boon for the wolf packs that have been following the Northern Xiongnu army.

They moved swiftly and began to devour the fallen soldiers.

Jiang Ming's team didn't even bother to count the exact number of people... In short, there was blood everywhere, and dead bodies everywhere!

Jiang Ming was very puzzled as to why the Northern Xiongnu army was so disciplined.

Even in modern armies, it is extremely rare to find one with such strict discipline!

Back then in Changping, if Zhiyao's army and the Han family's army had such discipline, I wouldn't have had to wipe them all out!

In that night's battle, Jiang Ming lost fewer than two thousand men.

But this time, Jiang Ming lost 60,000 men!

This number... is simply outrageous!

The Northern Xiongnu suffered even greater losses. Jiang Ming conservatively estimated that at least 200,000 Northern Xiongnu soldiers were killed on the spot!

This tragic and devastating scene far surpasses its own version of the "Battle of Changping"!

After the Northern Xiongnu Chanyu Yixie'er fled...

The remaining Northern Xiongnu soldiers, besides covering the rear and protecting the Great Chanyu's escape, even once wanted to launch a counterattack and regain the initiative in the war!

Yixie'er's retreat did throw the Xiongnu army into disarray, but it was not completely paralyzed!

They launched several small-scale counterattacks, causing Jiang Ming's troops a lot of trouble!

However, even as Jiang Ming's army began counting the corpses and spoils at the foot of the mountain, the Xianbei troops on the mountain remained motionless...

This made Jiang Ming sense something different!

This is so unusual!

I wonder what my father-in-law is up to?

So they sent a messenger up the mountain to inquire... why didn't you come down to support the battle last night?

I marched for three days and four nights to rescue them...

As a result, while the people who were supposed to help went up to fight the enemy, they all hid in the mountains and acted like big shots!

......

Yixie'er's famous Ferghana horse was a thoroughbred among thoroughbreds. It galloped all the way back to the settlement of the Northern Xiongnu tribe closest to the Gobi Desert.

Even when his soldiers carried Yi Xie'er to the main tent to rest, the heavily wounded Yi Xie'er still hadn't regained consciousness...

He lost so much blood that even his lips turned white.

Jiang Ming's crossbow bolt was truly vicious, directly shattering one of Yi Xie's... organs.

It's like being castrated in half...

Moreover, Jiang Ming's arrowhead had been soaked in excrement.
