Han Qinhu and Liang Hongyu, a married couple, were dispatched to lead a thousand Beiwei soldiers to transport grain and supplies from Wuwei City.
The remaining thousand Beiwei soldiers were led by Jia Xu to reinforce the city walls.
The weapons captured from the Xiongnu were all embedded around the city walls this time.
The blades were pointed outwards and the blades downwards to prevent the Xiongnu from climbing. All the trees that could be cut down outside Fuling City were dragged into the city.
Those that could not be cut down were burned on the spot, leaving a barren area within a ten-mile radius of Fuling City.

At this moment, under the call of the Xiongnu Left Wise King, the cavalry from various tribes on the grasslands had almost all arrived.
Ninety thousand cavalrymen formed a mighty line, and after the army was fully organized, the Xiongnu Left Wise King was finally able to lead his troops south to Liangzhou to join Helian Tiege's vanguard.
However, to his utter surprise, the scrambled-back Simug brought him unbelievable news.
Helian Tiege was defeated! Not only that, but his entire vanguard of 10,000 men was annihilated! The city of Fuling, which they had finally managed to capture, was also retaken by the Han people!
